Welcome back to the first Dumping Them Out NFL Football Episode of the season.
For the remainder of the NFL season, Dumping Them Out will be football focused.
Unless I change my mind and feel like doing something different.
I make the rules for this blog and I will do whatever I like.
I’ll start out with my most controversial take of the season.
Over half the time when I place a bet I end up sad.
It prevents me from enjoying good games.
Obviously winning money makes it more fun, but at best that happens 40% of the time.
Realistically, probably closer to 25% because I always take parlays.
I just had a wholesome football watching experience.
I’m going to do the same thing today.
Speaking of watching college football, I really hate the new running clock rule.
Watching the clock tick down while the ref is in the middle of making a penalty call…
It’s like the ref is stealing football from us.
Does that even happen in the NFL?
I’m a Colts fan, so I feel like I should be watching the Colts game.
But it also seems like I should be watching RedZone so I can keep up on the whole league.
I haven’t found the sweet spot yet.
And I gotta be honest, that’s about exactly how the Colts first game went.
Wouldn’t be the worst thing.
Also I’m choosing to ignore the obvious concussion Anthony Richardson had at the end of the game.
Brain health isn’t that important anyways.
I need someone to provide me a list of players who are on new teams.
For example, Miles Sanders is on the Carolina Panthers.
I’m not convinced that information was ever made public until today.
Jamaal Williams is on the Saints.
Didn’t know that one either.
I just learned Darren Waller is on the Giants.
I’m sure more serious NFL fans are all over that stuff.
And I suppose I could just Google that stuff pretty easily.
But those 3 players were news to me.
Returning kicks in football might be the scariest thing in sports.
Just the fastest most athletic people in the world running full speed directly at one another.
It’s so dangerous that teams don’t even let their best player do it.
Moving on to the other kind of football.
I saw a TikTok this morning that I can’t stop thinking about.
People in other countries take black magic very seriously don’t they?
Nothing about that video made me think that was just a lighthearted superstition the goalie does every game.
And the black magic team was going cleats up to try and take him down.
Like that little voodoo doll was worth permanently injuring someone over.
So do we need to start taking black magic seriously?
Is Africa onto something?
I need an NFL quarterback to start embracing black magic.
I feel like Aaron Rodgers could be talked into that pretty easily.
