I am just happy and proud to see that despite this prejudice he chose to remain a white billionaire. So brave in the face of oppression.

Back when he was caught it was widely rumored the bag of drugs and cash were part of his ongoing support of a couple ex hookers that he had put up in various Indy homes.

He's never really been right; fell into his dad's money.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Certainly sounding like an individual of the utmost sobriety.

Maybe he just a POS.

The rumor of why McDaniels didn't take the Colts job was because of an uncomfortable house visit with the McDaniels. I have no idea if it's true but when you consider the guy is kind of nuts and McDaniels made such a quick 180 after accepting the job and it sounds kind of plausible.

Via Dan Dakich:

“My sources inside the Colts GREAT. Got this today. ‘McDaniels' wife made him pull the plug after having Irsay in their home in Massachusetts & observing his odd behavior. Behavior that included being in the McDaniels' family bathroom for a very long & awkward period of time.'”

Thanksgiving trivia - which is the only NFL team to never play on Thanksgiving?

Bonus. Which are the only four teams to never win on Thanksgiving?

Well that was quick. Packers fly down the field without a lot of resistance from the Lions.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Let's go 49-45 game.

[Sylvanfan]

Would that be a scorigami? Starting out like it could be a 49-48 game. Might be over 47 by half time.

[KelVarnsen]

Goff gonna Goff

[Erick Estrada]

I just looked at the score. What the heck is going on with the Lions?

[Senator Clay Davis]

Six turnovers in the last five quarters is what's going on with the Lions. Not gonna win much when you do that.

It's a basic skill and there's no excuse for them being this bad at it.

A lot more time with the jugs machine is in order for that group.

Eh. When you play the Bears you do

[Senator Clay Davis]

But the Bears did the right thing and tanked. Packers will probably still think they are a playoff team, which in the dreadful NFC is not outlandish.

[Sainters7]

Well at least the Lions are keeping their Thanksgiving tradition alive of getting destroyed on national TV.

[ben voyonsdonc]

What is this half time show? The set looks like a 10 year old’s school project.

Look at the Seahawks remaining schedule...2-5 is very realistic (if Arizona is locked into the 2 pick for week 18 and plays they have always been tough on Seattle) . Even the Vikings with Dobbs if the clock strikes midnight could finish up at 3-4. So as much as you love to talk up how terrible the NFC South is....I think 8 wins is very much in play for at least 1 if not 2 of the NFC Wilc Card spots.
