TMQ Watch: September 29, 2015.

We 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.

After the jump, this week’s TMQ

Television football announcers are morons. 467 words down.

(Noted from the comments: “4th Down Bot” agreed with the coaches call 54 out of 55 times.)

The Ravens are bad. Sweet: Atlanta. Sour: Detroit. Mixed: Oregon – Utah.

Did Bill Belichick Stage the PSIcheated Scandal to Get Brady Fired Up?

The answer to that question is still “No,” Gregg, and Jacksonville is just a bad team.

The football gods have resumed chortling. They seem to dislike San Francisco, which is perhaps the nicest thing that can be said about them.

Matt Cassel. Philadelphia and the Jets (one of Elton John’s lesser known songs). “Bot Meets Pontiff.” TMQ meets “not funny”. Stats.

The 700 Club is back. And now we have the 100 Snaps Club.

Contemporary short-attention-span names like KFC are not abbreviations, because the letters don’t stand for anything: We live in an age when not standing for anything is seen as a plus.

As we often say, “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.”

Ryan Fitzpatrick, vagabond quarterback. This fall on the CW. (“Hartford Colonials”? “United Football League”? Jerry Glanville?!)

BOLO of the Week. All units, all units, be on the lookout for the Detroit Lions, who, stretching back to last season, have lost five straight. Suspects are described as more interested in boasting than performing.

TMQ is surprised by this? Really?

J.J. Watt has an ego, and, perhaps, a persecution complex. The Colts could come back from being 1-2, because the AFC South is a dumpster fire. Moo Cows explained. Flaming Thumbtacks explained. Couldn’t TMQ’s editors just run all these explanations as a sidebar and free up the space for obscure college scores?

“Single Worst Play of the Season — So Far”: Baltimore.

And that’s a wrap for this week, folks. Tune in next week, when we’ll see how many more old TMQ tropes Easterbrook manages to drag out of the closet.
