Wait ... what?

 And now to introduce a new Blob feature "Wait ... What?", which may or may not be an entire series or just a made-for-TV movie depending on whether or not the circumstances call for it, or how fast the Blob gets bored with it:

* Wait ... what? You mean the Indianapolis Colts might actually be, you know, good?

Beat the Denver Broncos 29-28 on a walk-off field goal by Spencer Shrader because -- irony alert -- the Broncos did a Colts thing. Which was, get tagged for a penalty that erased Shrader's initial miss from 60 yards and moved him 15 yards closer. The 45-yarder was true and the Horsies beat the other Horsies while fans in Denver no doubt gnashed their teeth and threw salsa and clam dip at their TV screens.

* Wait ... what? You mean Daniel Jones -- DANIEL JONES! -- might actually be good, too?

Two starts, two wins. Racked a 107.0 quarterback rating after a 23-of-34, 316-yard day. Threw one touchdown pass and no interceptions. So far this season he's completed 71 percent of his throws (45-of-63) for 588 yards and two scores, and has yet to throw a pick. His season rating so far is 111.1.

"But, Mr. Blob," you're saying now. "What about how crummy he was with the Gi-"

Shhh.

* Wait ... what? You mean Tennessee's running another play?

Aw, you bet. Ball's on the Georgia 19 with seven seconds to play. Thirty-six yard field goal, or thereabouts, for the win, which would be the Volunteers' first against the Bulldogs in the last nine meetings.

But, noooo!

Tennessee coach Josh Heupel decided to run one more play instead. No, I don't know why. Some short circuit in the cranial region, I assume.

Anyway, the Vols line up, get stuffed on a run into the line, and ... get flagged for illegal procedure. Ball is moved back five yards, making it a 43-yard attempt for kicker Max Gilbert instead of a 36-yard attempt. Gilbert pushes the 43-yarder wide right, the game goes to overtime, and Georgia beats Rocky Top for the night straight time, 44-41.

Oopsie.

* Wait ... what? You mean Mickey Mantle's in the news AGAIN?

Sure is, boys and girls. Just a handful of days after Yankees slugger Aaron Judge passed Joe DiMaggio on the Pinstripes' career homer list, leaving only Babe Ruth, Mantle and Lou Gehrig ahead of him, Cal Raleigh of the Mariners his 54th homer of the 2025 campaign. This got Mantle's name in print once more, because Raleigh's latest jack broke the Mick's record for most home runs in a season by a switch hitter.

Two keyword mentions in a week. Not bad for a guy who's been gone for 30 years.

And last but not least ...

* Wait ... what? You mean the Colorado Rockheads only need one win in their last 12 games to avoid tying the 2024 Chicago What Sox for the most losses in a season in the modern baseball era?

You better believe it, bubba.

The Rockheads have lost their last two and eight of their last 10, but on Friday they beat the San Diego Padres 4-2 and much joy was heard throughout the land. That's because it was their 41st win of the season, which means they can do no worse than tie the '24 What Sox, who finished 41-121. And if they can go 1-11 to end the season, they they can officially lord it over the What Sox forever and ever, so phooey on you.

"Plus, we got mountains!" the Rockheads will no doubt add.
