The New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills will play for the AFC East title on Saturday, meaning that New England closes their two game season-ending homestand with Miami, while the Bills finish up vs. the Jests. Fair enough. Both teams clinched playoff berths on Sunday. New England, as expected, vented on Cincinnati, 31-10, snapping a 2 game losing streak. Buffalo kept pace by beating Pittsburgh, 17-10. I thought they'd play on the 29th, but nope.
===========================================
Speaking of Bills-Steelers, ref Tony Corrente's crew fouled up with a phantom face mask penalty on the Buffalo defense. Replays clearly showed that this team of Mr. Magoo wanna-bes blew it completely, as there was no face mask penalty at all.
Not that it mattered, because the Steelers couldn't cash in their sudden good fortune, and turned the ball over two plays later, which saves these near-sighted zebras the dreaded Dunce Caps.
===========================================
LSU's Joe Burrow won the Heisman Trophy Saturday night, but how many people do you think decided not to tune in, after hearing commentators on ESPN & CBS publicly state that Burrow all but had it in the bag hours before the ceremony?
I opted to watch hockey. What about the rest of y'all?
==========================================
The Giants snapped a 9 game losing streak in battering Miami. It might've been Eli Manning's farewell in the Meadowlands, but given how slowly some ankle injuries heal, I would put money on Eli being back in two weeks for the finale vs. Philadelphia, hoping to atone for the Monday loss a week ago. Just sayin'.
===========================================
For years, I've been handing out Dunce Caps and Weasel ears, but never really had any graphics.
That's about to change, starting with the Dunce Caps, right now.
The inspiration comes from the dimmest bulb in the funny animal kingdom, Dimwit, the long time foil of Heckle & Jeckle.
If you don't know who he is, pilgrims, this'll help ya....
"Duhhhh, hello there.".
Yes, that is his mugshot, used for his own series of solo shorts, which will begin appearing at Saturday Morning Archives if we can find some.
Anyway, Dimwit and I are presenting the Dunce Caps to a group of misguided WWE fans this week. Why? Because they're taking a Monday Night Raw storyline way too seriously.
You see, WWE CEO/Chairman/head wackjob Vince McMahon and Raw executive director Paul Heyman, who came up with some infidelity angles in ECW in the 90's, decided that Rusev (Miraslav Barnyashev) and his wife, Lana (Catherine "CJ" Perry, "Pitch Perfect") would "divorce" so Lana could pursue a relationship with former US, ECW, & IC champion Bobby Lashley.
For whatever reason, heading into last night's TLC show, Lana was getting death threats from some dimbulbs who thought this was real. The FBI's been called in.
"Uhh, you shouldn't be doing that. No, you shouldn't."
Lana & Rusev live in Nashville in their spare time. It's got to be majorly awkward for them to live out this storyline. WWE officials are working with the FBI on the matter. Oh, by the way, Lashley beat Rusev, thanks to Lana's help, last night, so that arc isn't over by any stretch.
To these John Does out there, you get the Dunce Caps. Deal with it.
