I’m thinking the entire Bears front office and coaching staff should resign for “inappropriate activities.”

Yes, she is.

She’s a fan of a **particular** Chief.

Ties are a thing. They could both be 0-0-1 after the game.

I imagine a 3-3 tie.

How about 4-4? Might even be a scorigami.

When Travis Kelce scored a touchdown, they captured Taylor Swift in the box yelling “let’s fucking go!”

I want to applaud the NFL for showing a Monday night football game starting at 7 pm Eastern time.

I tend to think that a doubleheader is weird for Monday night, but having a game start at this time means that those of us on the East Coast have a decent chance of watching it in its entirety.

This is so refreshing, especially compared to my childhood, when the Monday night football game started at 9 PM.

Not in love with those Bengals helmets and uniforms.

Hadn’t seen any Buccaneers so far this season until tonight. Baker Mayfield looks pretty good.

Eagles win 25-11 under the leadership of head coach Nick Scorigami.

Apparently “Aaron Donald and ten random dudes” does constitute a good NFL defense.

I live on the east coast, and my sister was visiting from the west coast. I commented “I can’t remember the last time that I saw the end of a Monday night football game.” She said, “I can’t remember the last time that I saw the beginning of a Monday night football game.”

I was worried the Eagles would kick a quick field goal to put it back to a 3 score game and incidentally ruin the scorigami.

Does that mean she’ll be writing a song about him in a few months?

> I’m a BBQ junkie, so I expect to gain between 12 and 35 pounds this weekend. I’m also excited to get the Arrowhead experience, especially the tailgate. The upside to the Bears being an unmitigated disaster is that I won’t be troubled with any hopes or expectations.

Whelp, I was dead on. BBQ was delightful. Arrowhead is a good time so long as you’re not absolutely roasting in the sun. The Bears were the Bears. Hanging out with TayTay was an unexpected diversion.

Did you get to do the “Listen, we sound just like a bunch of Indians, don’t we?” chant?

She can certainly write a song about a “tight end”.

EAGLES 🦅 took advantage early, getting one up over the rest of the division. Need a win over Washington more than the last game.

Defense is superb. Other online fans, including me, want to know what the (bleep) is up with this Brian Johnson guy as OC.
