Alright, next up for the almost always boring Thursday nite matchup is the Broncos vs. the Colts in Indianapolis. Trevor Siemian is scheduled to start for the Donks against black quarterback Jacoby "BBQ" Briskett, er Brissett.

I don't know if I have a compelling reason to tune in to the game tonight. Of course the Colts will be in gimmicky new "Color Rush" uniforms. Not sure if the players or the cheerleaders unis are better ;) :

As we get ready for the big game tonight whose undercover name is snore fest I find it remarkable that Jordan Taylor never returned kicks in high school or college. The coaching staff decided on him after their first stringer fumbled everything punted his way. Still very unusual for an NFL PR to have no experience. But a word of advice for promising white WR's especially slot guys, try to return kicks in college because it helps bolster their NFL resumes.

TE Jeff Heuerman 54 yard TD Catch!

Give Rookie QB Chad Kelly a few more seasons...he will be a Starter somewhere if he keeps his mind right!

In the meaningless game last night( on many levels) the telecast went full hog with the Sky Cam view and like I said before I HATE IT. Sure it might be good for coaches when they look at film but I hope they can this gimmicky thing otherwise I will stop watching football altogether.

I know some people like it or sort of like it but for starters it gives me vertigo. I was about to puke last night. Why watch something that is going to make me dizzy? I have walked out of a couple of movies that made me dizzy receiving a full refund from management due to that shaky disorienting hand held camera crap. I could never be an astronaut but I am not the only person sensitive to this stuff.

Secondly I can't get the proper perspective on how much yardage is being gained or where the first down marker is located. It all seems like some sort of reality helmet video game and I simply have trouble following the action. I can see from a coaches view point how it might come in handy as far as alignments and such but as a viewer I get too disoriented. I looked up some thoughts on the matter and I found out I am not alone in that assessment.

Colts DE Margus Hunt looked decent last night and as mentioned above a nifty catch run and spin ( good grief there is that word again)TD by TE Heuerman but this dizzy thon was not worth tuning into so if you missed it congratulations on a wise choice.

I had the game on, but was busy doing more important (just about anything is more important) things than watching this borefest. It was really nice to see Osweiler have a good game in relief of Siemian. As for the Sky Cam, it doesn't bother me at all, it's a nice kinda spectacular view. The only problem with it is that because it is always moving it makes it difficult to judge yardage and other set elements since the movement eliminates static points of reference. I agree with Shadowlight in that it is more of a gimmick than anything. I guess the NFL is just trying to liven up the broadcast a bit to bored millenials who don't particularly care for game intricacies.

Just glanced at a few game photos and this one caught my eye. After Heuerman's TD catch this celebration was photographed and surprisingly there are no black players, just the crackas.

Still looking for the ratings for last night's wretched "entertainment." I only watched a few minutes, watching American Standoff (highly recommended) and then hockey instead. During the little time I watched, I heard Mike Turico praising the "physical and mental brilliance" of the players lolol, and Crissie waxing poetic about how much the game has improved in so many ways. Besides being Caste clowns, they're turd polishers extraordinaire. No wonder they're paid so many shekels.

You have players telling fans to not come to the games. How stupid can you be?

Matthew Stafford is lighting up the Bears Secondary. He is a legitimate top 8 qb in the nfl.
