50 Thoughts Ahead of NFL Week 4
We're heading into Week 4 of the NFL and I have thoughts - 50 of them.
Look for C.J. Stroud to have a bounce back week against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jacksonville’s defense is ranked 22 overall and their pass defense is even worse (ranked 30). Look for Stroud to get his mojo back against this defense.
The Dallas Cowboys need a win against the New York Giants. The following three weeks they see Pittsburgh, Detroit, and San Francisco. If they drop this fourth game, they risk starting the season 1-6.
Frappuccinos are a gateway drug.
Are the Steelers the real deal? They’re 3-0 and look quite formidable with their new QB in Justin Fields. I think it’s been enough time; I’m ready for Pittsburgh to be a threat again.
Jerry Seinfeld should pay Larry David an annual payment. Like how the Mets have to pay Bobby Bonilla each year and that day is a big thing - that’s the arrangement Seinfeld should have with Larry David.
Ouch, just felt a little momentary sharp pain.
Is the Brock Purdy to Jauan Jennings connection reliable? San Francisco will face the New England Patriots in Week 4 - let’s see if there’s a consistency to this fun and impressive duo.
If doctors can put metal rods in legs, why can’t they give me an exoskeleton? I would sign up for and dominate so many adult recreation leagues. I would be the Bo Jackson of Pasadena adult recreational leagues.
I don’t care what they say/ I’m in love with you/ they try to pull me away/ but they don’t know the truth.
The Chargers Week 4 contest against the Kansas City Chiefs will give us a good preview of what a Chargers team looks like without Justin Herbert. Losing Herbert to a high ankle sprain is tough for the Chargers, but let’s see what they look like with a full week to gameplan before hitting the panic button.
I think everyone’s lying to me about liking my ambrosia salad.
We’re 3 weeks into the season and a fun Rookie of the Year race has taken shape. Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels and Marvin Harrison Jr. are the 3 players in the race and we can watch two of them face off (to some extent) in Week 4’s Washington Commanders (Jayden Daniels) vs. Arizona Cardinals (Marvin Harrison Jr.) matchup.
I should have ordered the brisket the other night.
I should not have ordered the fish the other night.
The other night was a total blur after I ordered the fish.
The NFC North is going to be a battle, but Week 4’s Minnesota Vikings vs. Green Bay Packers matchup offers up an opportunity for these teams to create separation within the Division.
The O.C. should’ve ended after season 3.
Every time the NFL plays an international game, we get that much closer to a Mario Football game.
Kyren Williams looks good as ever and had 3 TDs against San Francisco. Look for him to get this high level of usage going forward until his core WR teammates are healthy.
People will fancy themselves "car guys/girls" and then will buy their gas without Techron? Okay…
The price of a classic pepperoni pizza from Little Caesers is currently $6.99. We are 90 seconds to midnight.
Joe Burrow and the Bengals are in deep trouble. They need to win 3 of their next 4 to salvage their season, starting with a win against the Carolina Panthers in Week 4.
Despite the Detroit Lions being favored in Monday night’s matchup against the Seahawks, look for Seattle to put them to the test. Seattle is looking strong at 3-0, while Detroit’s offense hasn’t looked as explosive as some may have hoped.
Big Ed and Liz (90 Day Fiance) are the worst love story on reality tv.
Are we all aware of that clip of Jerry Jones showing off his mental encyclopedia of NFL players penis sizes?
Bucky Irving is reeeaaaal close to taking the RB1 slot in Tampa Bay. He’s young, he’s quick, and he’s outrunning Rachaad White. Get ready.
Wagyu steak? Yeah… right…
It’s impressive that in 2024, the Toyota Prius remains atop the list of most fuel efficient cars.
As someone with perfect pitch, Charlie Puth is revealing too much about what we can do and I’m worried for him.
April Fool’s Day needs a rebrand.
Are the 49ers okay? I think they’re okay? I know they’re banged up, but if they don’t go 2-0 over these next two weeks (vs. Patriots, vs. Cardinals), then we may have to start talking.
The Cybertruck’s had its day in the sun. Send it the way of the Hummer 2.
Give me the beat boys and free my soul/I wanna get lost in your rock and roll.
"Crunch-a-tize me, Daddy!" - Me slipping up on Captain Crunch’s ship.
Carson Steele is Kansas City’s RB1 while Isiah Pacheco is out. Is there any way he cuts into Pacheco’s role once he returns? I don’t think so, but with a young running back hungry for a permanent role, it’s always an interesting story to keep an eye on.
"Can’t hang tonight. I’m in the dog house right now." - Dave Grohl (55)
Movie theater etiquette is in the trash.
Just my luck - a yellow jacket wasp. A yellow jacket, predatory social wasp. A yellow jacket, predatory social wasp whose sting can burn for up to 2 hours - just my luck.
Sunday Night Football shows us a 3-0 Bills team face off against a 1-2 Ravens squad. It should be a great game, but for Baltimore, it’s more than that. It’s a win they need and a win that keeps them from starting their season in a hole.
I pity those whose "Charles Barkley" is "Terry Bradshaw."
I think there’s a possibility that the first person to build a skyscraper called it "The Skyscraper," intending that to be its name, and then everyone else who built a tall building afterwards called it "a skyscraper," turning that initial person’s building name into the name of a category of buildings.
Is Malik Nabers the real deal? He’s had a fantastic start to the season and will see his toughest (but not lethal) defense yet in Dallas. I don’t think he’ll have a problem evolving when defenses plan for him as the Cowboys will.
"You can keep your R, your S, your T, and even your L, N, E, because I’m done!" - Sherrill Sajak divorcing Pat Sajak in 1986 after the success went to his head.
Everyone has their eye on how inflation has affected the value of the U.S. dollar, meanwhile the value of the Starbucks Rewards "Star" is out of control.
Is Miami the fastest rise and fall of an NFL team in recent memory? They looked great and offensively explosive the last couple seasons, but with their injuries piling up (especially with Tua Tagovailoa), it looks like it could get ugly and fall apart real quick.
There was a Buzz Lightyear cereal in 2002 called Buzz Blasts, and I would pay $100 to have a box of that cereal current day (freshly made).
Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, the Bee Gees… music is in good hands.
If Hell is hot, is Heaven cold? They’re opposites, no?
Tom Brady is back in the booth this Sunday on Fox calling the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Philadelphia Eagles game.
Ouch, felt another one of those sharp pains.
