Thanks to their desperation to appeal to the youths and Americans in general, the IOC approved the addition of flag football to the 2028 LA Summer Olympics. Baseball/softball, lacrosse and cricket returns to the Olympics plus squash makes their debut as well. It was a package deal where all but 2 of the 90 IOC members voted in favor of the additions during their meeting in Mumbai, India. The 2 countries that voted against it was the African nations of Ivory Coast and Uganda because they don't play those sports. Yes, because America are powerhouses in rugby, cricket, squash, handball, judo, taekwondo, fencing, and modern pentathlon, GTFOH.
Those flag football players at the World Games are gonna feel some sort of way when Team USA is all NFL players. The NFL played a large role in spreading flag football as a safer version of tackle football so it shouldn't be too surprising that they want a heavy presence in the Olympics like the NBA is and MLB will be. And since over 330 players and coaches represent 73 other countries in the league, they will try to get those skill position players on their rosters as well. Also the games takes place in the summer so they have plenty of time to recover from the event. The lone casualty was breakdancing as they're one and done in Paris next year. Whoops!
THE GAMES
Jacksonville Jaguars 31
New Orleans Saints 9
Whenever Shad Khan is no longer the owner of the Jags in 20 or so years, I hope he sells the team instead of leave it to his son because Tony is clearly not fit to run a football team.
Detroit Lions 19
Baltimore Ravens 17
No European games this week as the Lions continue to rack up the wins this season.
Las Vegas Raiders 30
Chicago Bears 34
This could be a Battle of Backups as Raiders QB Jimmy G went to the hospital with a back injury while Bears QB Justin Fields is doubtful with a injured thumb. I don't know about you but I'm excited to see the matchup between Brian Hoyer/Aidan O'Connell and Tyson Bagent!
Cleveland Browns 34
Indianapolis Colts 16
Speaking of injured QBs, here's game 2 of the Battle of Backups doubleheader as both Brown Deshaun Watson and Colt Anthony Richardson have shoulder injuries. Watson is unclear if he will play through his rotator cuff injury while Richardson will have season ending surgery to repair his AC joint. Looks like it will be the XFL Legend P.J. Walker vs Uncle Rico Gardner Minshew. The Browns defense handled the Niners so they should shutdown the Colts as well.
Buffalo Bills 24
New England Patriots 27
Since the Pats are shitting the bed this season, they're trying things they never would've did if they still had Tom Brady. Their 3rd string QB Malik Cunningham played WR for a couple snaps testing out his athleticism in hopes that he could be their Taysom Hill, minus the special teams action of course. At this point, they should try everything to spark their crappy current offense.
Washington Commanders 14
New York Giants 13
The Giants got screwed Sunday night. Holding, passing interference, however you want to call it, it was there on that last play. Of course, the Giants benefitted from a PI call to set up the untimed down so the ref probably didn't want to gift them another call. Fans always get mad when referees throw flags late in games saying they should stop bringing attention to themselves and influencing the outcome of the game and "let the players play". Well, in an attempt to do exactly that, the fans got mad anyways. But after that fuckup by Tyrod Taylor at the end of the 1st half, they didn't deserve to win. He showed why he's a backup QB with that time mismanagement.
Atlanta Falcons 13
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 16
The Bucs shouldn't wear creamsicle ever again cause their offense isn't good enough for it.
Pittsburgh Steelers 3
Los Angeles Rams 13
How the hell you get arrested just HOURS after playing a game over gun charges? Rams CB Derion Kendrick was arrested Monday morning for 2 misdemeanors carrying a concealed weapon and carrying a loaded firearm. I guess he doesn't know California isn't too fond of guns.
Utah Buckeyes 15
Seattle Seahawks 38
Cardinals QB Kyler Murray is back practicing after his torn ACL. They're currently 1-5 so bringing back a talent of his caliber is only a positive. Problem is, after all the drama over whether he studies the playbook or not, is he worth putting back out there? Especially if he gets injured again, then they're on the hook for a whole lotta money in injury guarantees.
Green Bay Packers 13
Denver Broncos 3
It's fun to mock "Let Russ Cook!" and Sean Payton but their defense is godawful as well.
Los Angeles Chargers 7
Kansas City Swifties 33
I like millions of people watching Cowboys-Chargers on MNF wondered, why they keep showing this random Chargers fan? She's not in costume. She's not flipping off players. She's not building a beer snake. She's not a celebrity. She's not wearing anything that got the announcers horny for her. She's just your typical excited fan watching her Bolts piss themselves.
At first, people thought she was a plant, which is understandable considering the NFL's efforts to get more women into football. From the MVP of the World Games gold medal winning Mexican women's flag football team starring in a Super Bowl commercial to announcers not shutting up about Taylor Swift at Chiefs games shows they're making an extra push to attract women this year. Or she could be a Chargers plant since they're always mocked for not having fans. Turns out, she really is a Chargers fan of 20 years. This being the internet, it didn't stop there.
Social media discovered the "smoking gun" of Merianne Do in Vikings gear a couple years ago. Turns out she was a Vikings fan since she grew up in Minnesota then became a Chargers fan when she moved to California. Her kid's team is also the Vikings so that would explain the picture. To sum it up, people thought she was a plant but it turns out, she's just a fan of 2 teams. It's like people forgot Snoop Dogg, Drake and LeBron James are fans of multiple teams.
Y'know, this reminds me of an old NFL Shop commercial about one turncoat ass Vikings family. One son married an Eagles fan, moved to Cincinnati and had "Bengal babies". A daughter became a Cowboys fan after meeting Emmitt Smith. And another son became a Steelers fan after eating RoethlisBurgers. They couldn't wait to ditch the Vikings and choose other teams after moving out. Except Judy, because like with Merianne, she roots for 2 teams.
Miami Dolphins 30
Philadelphia Eagles 26
I didn't expect to type that much about a random fan. Anyways, nice flip Tyreek.
San Francisco 49ers 28
Minnesota Vikings 20
Speaking of the Vikings, maybe they will invite Merianne to watch them lose too.
LAST WEEK: 8-7
OVERALL: 50-43
