The Circus Starts at 0945.
Let’s hope the GOP grew a spine and puts an end to this sort of behavior.
*UPDATE: SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM GREW A SPINE AND A SET TODAY!***
Well played, Sir! Well played!

Did The GOP Just Grow A Spine?

Looks like Judge K will be confirmed and the Dems just got slapped down

I am starting to see vertebrate-like behavior from these carbon-based life forms in the GOP.
Sunday Sports Spectacular – Twilight Zone Edition

After this week, I’m still straining to hear “da da da da, da da da da” and Rod Serling to appear and thankfully rescue me by announcing “You are entering a different world of site and sound……” Because really? I’m drained.
I’m just going to declare this an open thread right off the bat, because by the time the Sunday morning news shows air, football/baseball/golf is going to be secondary to the pissed off Olympics we have going on right now.
I’m skipping beer today and going directly to the hard stuff…..Bloody Marys, heavy on the Marys. I am not responsible for any statements I make after 10:30 a.m.
In the NFL, here’s the matchups:
Saints @ Atlanta
Broncos @ Ravens
Bengals @ Panthers (a kitty-cat face off!)
Giants @ Texans
Titans @ Jaguars
49ers @ Chiefs
Raiders @ Dolphins
Bills @ Vikings
Colts @ Eagles
Packers @ Redskins
Chargers @ Rams (aren’t the L.A. freeways jammed enough already?)
Bears @ Cardinals
Cowboys @ Seahawks
Patriots @ Lions
Monday’s Game
Steelers @ Buccaneers
In the MLB, the season winds down to it’s final week. As of now, Boston and Cleveland have clinched their divisions and other races look to be close. Lots of games as the PostSeason push is on!
Orioles @ Yankees
Rays @ Blue Jays
Reds @ Marlins
Royals @ Tigers
Brewers @ Pirates
Mets @ Nationals
Phillies @ Braves
Cubs @ White Sox
Angels @ Astros
Giants @ Cardinals
Marineers @ Rangers
Twins @ Athletics
Rockies @ D-Backs
Padres @ Dodgers
Red Sox @ Indians (preview of coming championship attractions, maybe)
In the PGA – the TOUR Championship final round from Atlanta today. On Friday, the leaderboard was top-heavy with familiar names, including Tiger Woods at No. 2. Tantalizing, but they’ve had two rounds since then. Still, he’s fun to watch, even now. For any feminists who have someone breezed by here and are reading this and ask why I don’t include LPGA? Because I don’t care. I’m a wimmen, and I don’t even watch the LPGA. Go start your own blog and report on them.
No NASCAR race today, as Richmond ran last night. [Insert winner’s name here providing I remembered to do so on Sunday…..; bitch about winner]
And in case I didn’t mention it before, like the old commercial says:

NCAA D1 College Football Week #4 2018 OPEN
by coldwarrior ( 16 Comments › )Filed under College Football at September 22nd, 2018 - 8:00 am
1250/1000 on 12/21 overall…I had a lousy week last week.
So, let’s get to it,
#2 Georgia at Missouri – Sat, Sep 22, 12:00 PM ET – The Bulldogs are a two touchdown favorite and beat this spread.
#8 Notre Dame at Wake Forest – Sat, Sep 22, 12:00 PM ET – ND is only a 7 point favorite? Yeah, they beat that spread as the head coach needs to produce.
Pittsburgh at North Carolina – Sat, Sep 22, 12:20 PM ET – My beloved Panthers are 3 point favorites on the road and looked great last week, so they beat this spread.
#3 Clemson at Georgia Tech – Sat, Sep 22, 3:30 PM ET – The tigers are 13 point favorites and win this and beat the spread.
#22 Texas A&M at #1 Alabama – Sat, Sep 22, 3:30 PM ET – The Aggies are 26 point dogs and beat the spread.
#17 TCU at Texas – Sat, Sep 22, 4:30 PM ET- TCU wins this by more than the 3 that they are favored by.
#7 Stanford at #20 Oregon – Sat, Sep 22, 8:00 PM ET – The Tree is only a 3 point favorite? They beat that.
#18 Wisconsin at Iowa – Sat, Sep 22, 8:30 PM ET – W is a 3 point favorite and beat this spread, they lost big last week and need to redeem themselves.
$100 on each…I need a good week!
