Thursday Night Football was actually sort of entertaining

For a game that did not seem good to begin and was a two-score game late in the 4th quarter, Thursday Night Football managed to provide some entertainment. Carson Wentz was able to lead the Eagles to a victory over the New York Giants and that was impressive. For as much fun as that was, Giants quarterback Daniel Jones got a ton of attention for his 80-yard run.

Jones’ run was incredible and seemingly came out of nowhere. Unfortunately the turf monster got him and tripped him up before he could score a touchdown.

This run was the fastest by a quarterback since 2018.

Of course the internet had some fun with Jones’ run.

The music from The Price is Right game Cliffhangers was added in a reply.

Shawn Kemp

Former NBA Seattle SuperSonics star Shawn Kemp is opening a dispensary in Seattle and is going with the most straight forward name possible, Shawn Kemp’s Cannabis. The name is pretty much to the point and incredibly boring. Missing the opportunity to go with a name like Sonic Chronic is incredibly disappointing.

World Series Game 3 Tonight

The Tampa Bay Rays and Los Angeles Dodgers will square off in Game 3 of the World Series Friday night, each team having 1 win each. Tampa was able to come out on top and get a much needed win Wednesday with the Dodgers used a bullpen approach, a strategy that is more synonymous with Tampa than Los Angeles. While it seems simplistic to and casual to say winning a World Series game is a “must win”, it’s about the pitching matchups. Tyler Glasnow and Blake Snell pitched the first two games setting up “Ground Chuck” himself Charlie Morton for Game 3. Not coming away with a win in one of the first two games could have sank the Rays before Morton even made an appearance.

Tampa is now in position to take a possible 2-1 lead in the series before the games really begin with their pitching staff as Tampa’s starters for Games 4 and 5 are TBD. Los Angeles is favored (as they should be), but Tampa showed in Game 2 that they are more than capable of defeating the almighty Dodgers.

Joe Thomas gives some free advice to Giants

The Internet had many takes and opinions on the New York Giants benching Eli Manning. Joe Thomas gave his opinion on the method used by Pat Shurmur.

Former Cleveland Browns All-Pro left tackle Joe Thomas chimed in on the New York Giants quarterback situation. The Giants should do themselves a favor and take the free advice.

(In case you wondering, the flipping a coin comment is a reference to his former coach Romeo Crennel deciding on whether to start Derek Anderson or Charlie Frye in a 2007 exhibition game.)

Thomas is someone who has experienced plenty of changes at the quarterback position during his career and can be considered an expert on the subject. Especially when it involves a former head coach of his. Joe Thomas has heard every way of saying that a team is making a change at quarterback. Thomas knows which ways are better than others. Safe to say that this isn’t one of the better ones. 

Pat Shurmur broadcasting that he’s going with his gut instead of I don’t know, using his eyes to make a change at quarterback is comical. Even if he just uses some stereotypical coach speak it would come across a bit better than this.

It does not take a rocket scientist to tell that Eli Manning’s best days are behind him. The average person can tell that Eli is not who he used to be. The Giants might be better served making a change from their longtime quarterback. That being said, who knows what Daniel Jones will do. 

There is nothing wrong with Pat Shurmur going with his gut, just don’t make a proclamation to the world about it. The problem for the Giants and Shurmur is that they have predictably backed themselves into a corner. This usually does not end up well. If Jones fails it may push Shurmur out the door in New York. Playing quarterback roulette in a losing season never ends up well. It typically happens as a last ditch effort to save a job even though his fate may have been sealed beforehand. 

Nobody knows what the end result will be with Pat Shurmur, Eli Manning, Daniel Jones, and the New York Giants. There are plenty of examples over the years of things going bad. Time will tell if this follows the same path as the countless others.
