  • Heard that the Ravens/Steelers game that was set for Thanksgiving night has been postponed until Sunday.   Apparently 7 Ravens players tested positive,  and those players will not be able to play even on Sunday.  I was looking forward to seeing that game tomorrow.  I was rooting for the meatwagon.....and it appears that the meatwagon made an appearance in a big way.

    An interesting aspect about this is that the game will be played at 1:15 Sunday, and be broadcast on NBC.  Which means that NBC will have a game on at the same time as games on CBS and Fox.  Not sure those networks would be too happy about that. 

    Also, that means that there will be NO  NFL game Thanksgiving Night for the first time in many years.   Maybe there will be a big colleg game on. 

  • If I recall, didn't  like Texas and Texas A&M used to play regularly on Thanksgiving.     I think the best game tomorrow may be like Colorado St. vs. New Mexico...or the sort.

    Also, the Friday after Thanksgiving schedule is now  meh,   though apparently Notre Dame is playing  North Carolina, and Texas is playing Iowa St.  

    That is nothing like the old days when it was like Oklahoma vs. Nebraska.   Also, I think that the "Hail Flutie" game was the Friday after Thanksgiving. 

    Saturday does have some college football rivalry games:   The Iron Bowl, Auburn/Alabama. 

    If I recall...it used to be Ohio State/Michigan on the Saturday before T=day.   No?

    They usually play the weekend before Thanksgiving. But not always.

    Cancel that DVR recording.... I was 1\2 expecting it.  LOL, it just pushed hoorta's Thanksgiving dinner into the 8PM time slot.  Prime NY strip, baked potato, and top shelf wine.  🙂   When it comes to food, I'm a pretty pretty basic meat & potatoes guy.  

    The time switch (at least I hope) won't affect the Browns\Jags broadcast here in Dayton.....

    Well....they can whine all they want,  but the fact is, they are going to have a big advantage because of  practically have of the RFs starting lineup being out of action for that game....including  Lamar. 

    I mean,  does anyone think the Rats have a chance in that game with  RGIII at QB?

    So take your shit colored glasses off (Only directed at gipper and not you other fine browns fans)

    Im all for the teams being safe, i certainly don't want anyone on the steelers to get it and for it to spread through the team like it is in Baltimore.  As it stands Vance McDonald is coming off it soon and we added three to the covid list recently, one of which is tuitt. (Big blow if he's out)  The Steelers were forced into a early bye week because the titans didn't have their shit together and were breaking protocols.  The Steelers then have their thursday night game moved and what would have been a mini bye to have it moved to Sunday and now Tuesday.  The biggest issue with the players from what i can tell is that teams aren't being held accountable like they should be.  If you have a rampant outbreak you should be fined but more importantly you should lose draft capital.  The niners had to play with a ton of replacement players recently.  I also understand the Ravens would be without a lot of starters, i also get that.  It still doesn't make this situation more palatable and it's not a bunch of whining.  I'd be pissed off to if two games were moved because teams couldn't do that right thing.  THE END.

  • I think that if a game has to be moved twice, an investigation should see if it was from lack of protocol and if it was, then that team forfeits

  • Mrs. Wife just told me that the Ravens game is moved to Tuesday.

    I just think some sort of punishment should be handed down.  I'm for a team losing draft capital and if it were the Steelers I'd still be on board.  I own a business in food,  mask compliance and getting people to care about those around them has been a nightmare.  The amount of ignorance out there right now is infuriating.  DO WHAT YOU NEED TO FUCKING DO TO KEEP EVERYONE SAFE and if you can't do that the hammer needs to be dropped and dropped hard.

    yep: fantasy football email alert:

    • Ravens/Steelers - Moved to Tuesday, December 1 (remains in Week 12)

    Week 13 schedule changes:

    • Cowboys/Ravens - Moved to Monday, December 7 (remains in Week 13)

    Here’s how we will proceed with transaction/waiver processing and other weekly items following the completion of Week 12. This info will also apply to future weeks that have a Tuesday game added to the schedule.

    Calm down and stop your whining.  There was nothing offensive with what Gip said.

    I don't know....wtf is it you are trying to say?   Are you really suggesting that the Spermsuckers  would NOT  have a big advantage in this game if RGIII starts for the Ratfucks....and if like half their starting lineup is out.

    What more punishment do you want to give the Ravens?  Like I said....they are going to be without their starting QB, and half their starting lineup.  That is the next best thing to granting a forfeit.

    Let's put it this way......how embarassing would it be for your Spermsuckers to get beat by RGIII and the Ravens in this game?

    Fuck me.  This is getting ridiculous.    It is not ridiculous to cancel the game....but it is ridiculous to just havecertain  games picked and chosen to be cancelled.   Notre Dame and North Carolina played today....as did other teams.  

    Why shouldn't just the entire college football schedule be cancelled/postponed, whatever?

    Steelers added three guys to their COVID list about nine hours ago. Take a draft pick from them, that is complete bullshit!!

    Or the NFL? Elementary my dear Watson  $$$$$$  Even if they manage to pull off the rest of this season, it deserves one big *

    Not that I'll shed any tears for the Steelers or Ravens, but what should have been a mini-bye for both teams turned into a short week....  And the Browns still have to play the seriously infected Ratbirds yet.  

    Vaccine won't be generally available in time for the Super $$$ Bowl.  No or minimal fans there- just special I tell ya.  🙁
