I'm sure A.A. Ron would hate a lazy bum like me who can't even publish
weekly game previews on time but I really like his weekly segment on the
former punter/outfielder/wrestler turned podcaster's show. Depending on who
you root for, he's known for being a asshole who doesn't like talking to the
media.
So while I'm new to watching Pat McAfee's show, it was cool to see them
announce Aaron will join in on the show every Tuesday during the
season.
It was here he talked about how his arm doesn't hurt for the first time in
16 years.
The next week, he talked about how different it was playing in a empty
stadium.
He made news the following week when he stated he's loving life again after
making changes these past few months.
Since she had the same thought as we did, his ex-girlfriend Danica Patrick
responded on her Instagram with a bikini pic. That she took down and I had to go to BSO to find it.

| TIL Danica has a tramp stamp and loss some muscle in her arms. |
Then this week he talked shit about his critics, bragging that down years
for him are career years for other QBs (Well, he's not wrong...).
Then he talked about how the media twist words to fit their narrative to
get clicks.
Football players (especially QBs) typically give
generic answers in interviews because people are so damn sensitive
nowadays, that any bit of personality is bound to offend someone. So big ups
to Pat McAfee for providing Aaron Rodgers the platform to talk freely without a PR goon breathing down his neck or worrying about triggering these internet pussies.
THE GAMES
Tompa Bay Buccaneers 6
Chicago Bears 21
Big Dick Nick was flaccid in last week's 19-11 lost to the Colts. After the
(understandable) hype of him replacing Mitchell Trubisky, all he put up was
249 yards and one touchdown to go with a interception. Compare that to Tom
Brady who got off to a slow start throwing a pick-6 going down 24-7 only to
throw 5 touchdowns and comeback to win 31-38. Let's see if Chicago can
prevent that from happening again in FOX's first TNF of the season.
Los Angeles Rams 27
Washington R's 9
After four games, Ron Rivera
benches
Dwayne Haskins in favor of Kyle Allen. But he not only benched him, he made him
inactive(!!!) as Alex Smith is listed as the backup. I get Kyle started for
Ron in Carolina as Cam Newton was injured and got off to a 5-0 hot start,
but he finished 1-7 which got ole Riverboat Ron fired. His confidence in
Kyle isn't gonna help in their game against the Rams though.
Buffalo Bills 31
Tennessee Titans 10
Looks like the Titans are the NFL's Miami Marlins with 21 cases of the Coronavirus so far. But unlike MLB, they don't feel like accommodating
teams that had breakouts and will give out forfeits to teams that can't play
due to positive results. (UPDATE! The game will now be played on a Tuesday night!) Also, every team must have three
"Mask Compliance Officers" (snitches) who will police mask usage among team members. They will
also use surveillance cameras to track people and go after players who
workout together offsite.
All of this led to Titans OG Rodger Saffold to post on
Twitter: "Guys just don't work out for fun this is for their lively hood, their
family, their opportunity. Say what you want but I'm standing up for my team
always." It's clear the NFL is covering their ass with how they're
responding to positive cases. They're pissy at players working out offsite
while team facilities are closed. Rodger has a point, they're not working
out for fun; they're working out to keep themselves in game shape to reduce
the chance of season ending injuries and perform at their best. Eventually
it will balance itself out like it did with the Marlins and MLB but throwing
players under the bus isn't gonna help labor relations in the future. Man,
this is gonna be a looooong shitshow of a season won't it?
Philadelphia Eagles 17
Pittsburgh Steelers 27
It's the Steagles Bowl
where Philly looks to build off their first win last week while Pittsburgh
comes off an impromptu bye week. Since they're fresher and more
competent than the Eagles, go with the Steelers to get the win.
Arizona Cardinals 24
New York Jets 30
Sam Darnold is
injured so Joe Flacco will start here. The simulation must like Flacco Flame
since it has them getting their first win against the Cardinals.
Las Vegas Raiders 17
Kansas City Chiefs 31
Chiefs fans GASPED as they saw Patrick Mahomes
talking
to Stephon Gilmore who
tested positive
for Coronavirus hours later. Even though he tested negative, Chiefs Nation
will be paying extra close attention to him in this comfortable win vs the
Raiders.
Jacksonville Jaguars 31
Houston Texans 23
It finally happened! Bill O'Brien has been
fired
by the Texans after a 0-4 start. Personally, I feel they fired him a DeAndre
Hopkins trade too late but that's just my opinion. Reportedly, what finally
got him out of there was J.J. Watt
calling him out on
his coaching on the practice field. Even though J.J. says he has no
"ill will"
towards him during a press conference after the firing. We all know that
unless you have some Super Bowl rings to your name, if the star player turns
on you then you lost the locker room. The players seem to be excited that
Romeo Crennel steps in as interim coach but can they beat the Jaguars
though?
Cincinnati Bengals 3
Baltimore Ravens 21
Look for the Ravens to keep up their active streak and put up 20+ points in
their 28th straight game despite Lamar Jackson
missing practice
due to illness and injury..
Carolina Panthers 26
Atlanta Falcons 27
You can't blow a double digit lead and piss away your 99% chance of winning
if you never take the lead to begin with. After taking a 16-30 ass kicking
by the Packers last week, the Falcons will try to salvage their dignity
against their division rival and preserve Dan Quinn's job.
Miami Dolphins 28
San Francisco 49ers 27
People are clamoring for Tua Tagovailoa to start this season which is just
foolish. This team is not a playoff contender so it makes no sense
whatsoever to put in someone coming off a hip injury into a lost season.
Just let Tua sit back and learn from Ryan Fitzpatrick for the year. We seen
many times what happens when you throw in a rookie before he's ready. Most
times, he have bad games, lose confidence, suffer injuries, get benched, get
traded, get released, become a backup, then pushed out of the league. So for
Tua's sake, LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!
New York Giants 20
Dallas Cowboys 10
Jason Garrett and his trash ass offense
returns
to Arlington as the Giants offensive coordinator. In this matchup between
the league's worst offensive and defense, this game could get ugly to watch
(especially if you're a Cowboys fan).
Indianapolis Colts 34
Cleveland Browns 10
The Browns won't have to worry about nearly choking away a win against the
Colts like they did last week with the Cowboys because they're not winning
here.
Denver Broncos Postponed
New England Patriots To Week 6
So far, so good,
no new Coronavirus cases. The Patriots should be good to go to beat the Broncos. They just have to do it on a Monday evening now.
 |
| WOOF! WOOF! Broncos-Patriots moved to Week 6! WOOF! WOOF! |
Wait, what's that? Someone on the Patriots tested positive and they will postpone this game to Week 6 giving the Broncos and Patriots a bye week? Well so much for that optimistic feeling.
Minnesota Vikings 13
Seattle Seahawks 19
Seahawks home games just isn't the same without the 12s. Fake crowd noise
just can't replicate the passion those fans put in and the energy they
produce in the stadium. Regardless, this should be a win for them on
SNF.
Los Angeles Chargers 14
New Orleans Saints 34
In a surprise to absolutely no one, the Chargers named Justin Herbert the
starter for the rest of the season. So once again, Tyrod Taylor loses his job over something out of his
control. I hope he sue their ass and get millions in compensation for this
huge fuckup on their part.
LAST WEEK 7-8
OVERALL 32-30-1
