Geezers on geezers on geezers. Wheel in the sky keep on turning.
After the jump, this week’s TMQ…
Scoring is up. Why? Rule changes and “Improved orthopedic medicine is allowing guys who are old in athletic terms to keep playing.”
If being 35 or older makes you a “geezer”, even if that’s just in NFL terms, we’re pretty sure we can consider Gregg Easterbrook (65) and the editorial we behind this item (53) “geezers” as well. Embrace the geezer!
At least TMQ’s favorite haiku contains a seasonal reference.
Stat-O-Matic. Sweet: Jets. Sour: Miami. Mixed kicking plays: Carolina, Cleveland, Green Bay, Buffalo, Pittsburgh.
TMQ thinks everyone should see a Texas-OU game in person before they die. We wouldn’t mind going to the state fair sometime, but OU Weekend sounds to us like our own personal hell.
The new “Hawaii Five-0” and the new “Magnum P.I.” are unrealistic. “Chicago P.D.” is also unrealistic and portrays Chicago police, and crime in Chicago, in a false light. This item takes up 1,550 words of this week’s TMQ, which you can now skip: unless you actually thought any of these shows was anything but fiction.
Sure, you just won the Super Bowl, but what have you done for us lately?
Started out 2-2, lost to the Vikings, and are now 2-3?
The Chargers played the Raiders, and nobody came. Chicken-(salad) kicking: Dallas. !Chicken-(salad): Rams.
“Adventures in Officiating”: are the refs favoring New England again? Also: Cleveland.
And that’s a wrap for this week, folks. On a personal note, we realize we missed last week’s TMQ Watch. Last week was a bad week for us, climaxing on Thursday night with the violent expulsion of most of our stomach contents. (Who would have thought the human stomach could hold that much undigested coffee?) We may go back and fill in the gap later this week, possibly over the weekend. But we were also kind of discouraged by the amount of Kavanaugh in last week’s TMQ, so we may not. Depends on where our head and our stomach are over the next couple of days.
