Just a few fleeting thoughts

Because sometimes even the Blob can't turn off its brain.

("You have a brain?" -- The Blobophiles, all two of them).

Here goes:

Why was Deshaun Watson even practicing anyway? (Tip o' the cap to Allen Iverson for that one). He's thrown a gazillion touchdown passes in, like, six games, and the Texans are playing the Colts. Think practice had already made perfect in this instance.

Speaking of the Colts, they've finally done what everyone in the known universe knew they were eventually going to have to do and turned off the clock on Andrew Luck (two years too late, but still). Which likely means something else everyone in the known universe knows: The clock is now running in earnest on Chuck Pagano.

So Papa John says his business is suffering because the NFL won't violate the constitutional rights of those awful, "disrespectful" football players. Wonder if it's ever occurred to him that his very public support for a hugely unpopular president might have something to do with that instead.

And on that note, said president, our only available one, dressed in some sort of stars-and-stripes getup for Halloween. Speaking of disrespecting the flag.

And finally ...

If the sports media poodles wringing their hands over the "Cavs struggles" five months before the NBA actually matters had been running the United States during the Civil War, the Union would have surrendered after the first battle of Bull Run and there would still be a Confederacy. Which means all those people whining about monuments would have to find something else to whine about.
