TMQ Watch: November 24, 2015.
Tuesday, November 24th, 2015Norts spews.
Friday, November 20th, 2015By way of the NYT, we learn of a controversy sweeping the world of curling: “high-tech” brooms.
More:
“a retailer”? Like a grocery store? Or like a curling specialty shop?
(Steve’s Curling Supplies sells both the Balance Plus and the Hardline.)
Wednesday was the 30th anniversary of Joe Theismann’s leg injury, and the WP ran a story tied to that.
Speaking from recent bitter personal experience, this.
(Also, I love the detail about the black and white TV with the coat hanger. The ER at Brackenridge has cable TV, so at least you’ve got something to distract you. If you happen to be conscious.)
TMQ Watch: November 17, 2015.
Thursday, November 19th, 2015You know what we miss from the new, tighter, TMQ?
We’ll tell you. After the jump, this week’s TMQ…
TMQ Watch: November 10, 2015.
Thursday, November 12th, 2015We’re running behind again, this time due to Time-Warner issues and other things. In case you were wondering, we are still a bit gimpy, but our hand is steadily improving.
Let’s go ahead and jump into this week’s TMQ…
In the village, the quiet village…
Thursday, November 5th, 2015…the Lions fired everyone.
Okay, technically, they just fired Tom Lewand (team president) and Martin Mayhew (general manager).
Ford said she informed Lions coach Jim Caldwell there would be no changes to the coaching staff.
But:

Wednesday, November 4th, 2015Yes, we’re back, but we’re still gimped up. Let’s just jump into this week’s TMQ…
Rearrange the deck chairs.
Wednesday, November 4th, 2015Ken Whisenhunt out as head coach of the Tennessee Titans.
The team was 3-20 during his tenure, 2-14 last season, and 1-6 (with six losses in a row) so far this season. They also lost to the Texans on Sunday, which may have been the proverbial straw…
TMQ Watch: October 20, 2015.
Wednesday, October 21st, 2015We give up. As a matter of fact, we surrender.
Okay. That was a cheap trick. Sorry. This week’s TMQ after the jump…
Your NFL loser update: week 6, 2015.
Monday, October 19th, 2015Another busy weekend. I was running around helping people celebrate their birthdays, driving between Austin and Lakeway, and generally doing stuff that distracted me from the NFL games.
Which is a good thing. I’m not sure if I should be happy that Chicago lost to Detroit, or sad that my dream of another 0-16 season has to be deferred until next year.
At least San Diego and Buffalo both lost. Would that the Browns could have won, but it sounds like that was an exciting game in any case.
NFL teams that still have a chance to go 0-16:
None.
We’ll be back with the loser update next year (perhaps sooner, if anything interesting goes on in the world of basketball) and TMQ Watch tomorrow, maybe, we hope.

Wednesday, October 14th, 2015Your NFL loser update: week 5, 2015.
Monday, October 12th, 2015Another jam-packed weekend. A wake, a blogshoot, a gun show, shopping…
Didn’t watch a single minute of a single game (well, I did catch a few seconds of one out of the corner of one eye while we were eating at Denny’s, of all places). But it wasn’t a bad weekend for the loser update.

Detroit
In other news, Randy Edsall was fired on Sunday while I was running around. He was 22-34 at the University of Maryland, and they were 2-4 so far this season.
(Speaking of 2-4 teams, did Charlie Strong save his job this weekend? Discuss.)
This doesn’t exactly count as a firing, and I take no joy in it, but: Steve Sarkisian is on an “indifinite leave of absence” from USC. It sounds like he has a serious problem: I hope he manages to pull himself out of it.
TMQ Watch: October 6, 2015.
Wednesday, October 7th, 2015Yes, we know, we’re late again. We have a worse excuse this time: we put off TMQ Watch so we could go to the Alamo Drafthouse and watch “Sicario”.
It has actually been a big movie week for us: in addition to “Sicario”, we watched “Black Mass” with Lawrence on Saturday. We may have some more thoughts on both later on. (And “The Martian” is on our list. We don’t expect that to vanish from theaters any time soon. Yes, this is relevant to TMQ; see below.)

Your NFL loser update: week 4, 2015.
Tuesday, October 6th, 2015It wasn’t a great weekend for the loser update. Chicago beat Oakland (you had one job, Raiders). New Orleans beat Dallas (we missed that game, but it sounds like it was a thriller). And the Detroit-Seattle game was much closer than we expected. But…

In other news: DraftKings and FanDuel may be sleezy? Who’d thunk it?
Number One!
Monday, October 5th, 2015Our first firing of the NFL season:
He was 24-28 over those 52 games.
Also, the Washington Nationals have fired their manager, Matt Williams, and their entire coaching staff.
(Loser update tomorrow: have to wait on Detroit.)
TMQ Watch: September 29, 2015.
Wednesday, September 30th, 2015We apologize for the delay. We had a dinner engagement last night at Rocco’s Grill in Bee Cave. Some things are just more important than TMQ blogging, like dinner with family.
