“What you gonna do when you get out of jail?…” part 190

Tuesday, October 6th, 2020

It isn’t Thursday, but I thought we’d go on a safari.

A surfing safari.

“Kingdoms of the Sea”, a 1950s TV series. This episode covers water skiing, surfing, and “other water acrobatic stunts”.

Very short, and totally unrelated, bonus: this is one of my favorite “Perry Mason” moments. Della teases Lt. Tragg…and Tragg responds with perfect 1950s hepcat jive.

Your loser update: week 4, 2020.

NFL teams that still have a chance to go 0-16:

Atlanta
New York Football Giants
Houston
New York Jets

In related loser and sports firings news, having started the season 0-4, the Houston Texans have fired Bill O’Brien.

O’Brien, who went 52-48 in six-plus seasons with the franchise, led the Texans to four AFC South titles including each of the past two seasons, but hasn’t won a game since a come-from-behind playoff win over the Buffalo Bills last season. That was followed by the Texans blowing a 24-0 lead to the Chiefs in the second round of the playoffs. The Texans haven’t won a game since.

You know, I’m liking the chances for someone to go 0-16 this year. Not necessarily the Texans, but one of these four teams.
