Andy Dalton, g*d damn. Those throws to Gallup.

It wasn't a prime time game.

Liking this wasn't good enough. Quoting to show awesomeness appreciation.

Right ankle compound fracture per reports from the Cowboys press conference. Christ, if he didn't have so much crap wrapped around his ankles and feet in the first place, we would have seen the whole damn thing.

I see we're getting Van Halen all night on the outros.

I'm ok with this.

Defensive coordinator Wink Martindale showed no mercy by blitzing Burrow on 59% of his dropbacks, and the pass rush feasted by recording pressure on a staggering 47% of Burrow's dropbacks.

Poor, poor Joe Burrow. They may want to salvage his career by starting someone else the next time they play Baltimore.

Wink Martindale

Still can't get over this.

That’s...not a joke?

Well, it is, but it is also true. I believe Don Martindale got his nickname from the old gameshow host.

Also, GM Thomas Dimitroff fired.

Very sad day for the fans of the Panthers, Bucs, and Saints.

Carolina Panthers: Coach Killers ... /flex

When Russ calls Metcalf's number.

I kinda feel like Wilson biffed on 3rd and goal just to test himself.

On 6 of those 7 sacks, Burrow did it to himself. If you are getting that much pressure, play smallball and dump the ball before 3 seconds are up. I get that the running game wasn't working, but you don't eat the sack 7 times if you throw it on time.

What? You can't do that, then Legion will call him out for being captain checkdown the rest of the season. #joeknows

GOATsie Tom Brady made a living out of being Checkdown Charlie.

Sean Payton is going to die on a hill named Taysom.

It's going to be glorious to watch.

Brees isn't doing Payton any favors right now, either.

Josh Norman might as well just retire. Nothing he can do can make anyone forget getting trucked by Derrick Henry.

Tuesday football: it's not just for the MAC anymore.

Le’veon Bell released.

Do the Titans think this is college and they need to impress the BCS committee?

Def one of the top "worst contracts of all times".

Go Jets!

42-16 final score is SCORIGAMI

2019 had 6 Scorigami results all year, 4 of which were with the winning team over 50 points (where there's a lot more unclaimed real estate)

2020 has 5 Scorigami results already, and 4 of them have been with winning scores below 50 points.

42-16 is scorigami? I never would have believed that. Not in a million years.

There were only two winning scores below 50 where a 16 point losing score hadn't happened yet: 42 and 39.

Now 39 stands alone.

That's just crazy to me. That there wasn't some Marino/Kosar matchup from 30 years ago where Schotty The Elder chose to kick field goals while Marino tossed a couple late touchdowns.

39? I get that. It's a weird score to hit.

Huh. Scorigami never ceases to amaze!

Is there a Scorigami database for college football? Or is that too large a pool to track (100+ years, hundreds of teams, etc.)?

I saw a CFB Scorigami but it was limited to post-2000 games. I imagine a full accounting of scores would be quite an undertaking, with endless questions about where to draw lines of inclusion (D3? Juco? Pre-integration HBCU? Pre-NCAA? Outside USA?)

I suppose you could just say "NCAA", but pre-NCAA football has more historical relevance than pre-NFL pro football, so there's something unsatisfying about all those 1800s games that line would exclude.
