And should I need to remind you, I hate both of these teams.

Harrison Butker, an outspoken conservative who we all should be rooting for here on FR, just missed his first extra point of the season...

Georgia Tech alum. It’s a shame.

Oh, and my comment was for the Cowgirls and the Eagles, but it holds true for the Chiefs and the Chargers, too.

I can pick a player that I like here or there, but on the whole, I don’t give a who’s what about any of these. It usually comes down to who do I hate the least?

That meant the Eagles last night, and tonight? Well, I hate Jim Harbaugh with a passion, so that makes the Chiefs the lesser of two evils. Plus, they have Butker, who I respect, so I guess I’m pulling for KC tonight.

I can understand Harbaugh hate.

I also try to remember that's he too has put his butt on the line for the pro-life cause.

Not good enough for me. He’s like Belichick to me.

They both cheat.

I hate cheaters.

I don't know about Harbaugh hate, but I don't like his personality or sense of fairness at all. I might live in the shadow of UofM but haven't been a Wolverine fan since Schembechler couldn't win a bowl game.

I didn't pick the Chargers because I like them or Harbaugh, but he is a good coach. And the Chiefs are due for some, well something. Maholms just made unbelievable throw.

Yeah, what he can do, with his arm or his legs, is pretty amazing.

But the Charger's Herbert has been a consistent passing (and occasional rushing) machine all night. The Chief's secondary has been just plain awful.

Could the Chiefs start off 0-2 after next weeks showdown against the Eagles.

YouTube postgame show female commentator is a cutie.

The brother looks like he needs men's fashion advice from Howie Long.

And to answer my own question, her name is Kay Adams. She's 39 - wow, she looks mid-20s!

The brother looks like he needs men's fashion advice from Howie Long.

And to answer my own question again, he's the one and only Cam Newton, hiding there underneath all the excess fashion accessories.

I do like the Chargers because of Herbert. And I think Harbaugh is a coach who could bring them greater success. Although my years in the desert of following other teams because the Lions were hopeless are over. Dolphins, Steelers, 49ers, Rams & Raiders move over. Good luck! You all have fans who don’t live in Detroit, we’ve moved on. We’ve got home grown!

“hiding there underneath all the excess fashion accessories.”

He hides under that stuff cause he’s the puss who wouldn’t jump in a fumble pile to grab the football and win the Super Bowl. It was right there in front of him and he just stood and watched. LoOser!

So let it be written. So let it be done.

Giants’ schedule is rated most difficult in the league.

Challenge: look at the schedule & tell me how many wins you see. Note ... the easy opponents are all road games.
