Back Porch Podcast with Corey and Beam
Ray-I keep hearing this from Bills and NFL fans that doesn’t make any sense to me. They laugh that Mac Jones only threw the ball 3 times during the tornado game. Isn’t it more embarrassing in today’s game that the Patriots won after only throwing 3 times?
Rich - Are you looking forward to the Bills Mafia being likable again?
Rich - How many billboards are being rented in Foxboro this year?
Ray - if the Patriots win on Sunday the AFC East is pretty much sealed up. You guys won last year but now there’s a rookie in town that we could build with for 20 years again. Do you guys need to make some serious changes or will it be fun playing for a wildcard spot every year?
Rich - When they build a dome in Buffalo to make Josh Allen not suck does everyone in Buffalo hand their nuts directly to Godell or can you mail them?
Ray -what’s the one position you are worried about on the Bills for Sunday’s game? For the Patriots It’s covering Dawson Knox, the guy is a beast and Duggar has been good but we usually get killed by good tight ends. Rich - This is incorrect. Diggs kills the Patriots every time they play him. Knox is a pussy. Josh Allen running will be the key to Bills.
Ray -the Bills came out this week and refused to say the name Patriot in any press conference, has Sean McDermott watched football for the past 20 years? Belichick thrives on bulletin board material. Do you think this is a huge mistake on his part?
Rich - Does Sean McDermott have a Tool bag meter that he jacks to 11 when they play the Patriots? Rich - Do you think McDermott has enough sperm to have children after beating the Pats twice last season?
Ray -non football question. Back Porch Media, you guys cover movies and have weekly shows out. I have recently came out to Rich and Bill by telling them I got very confused watching the Matrix movies. Thoughts on the matrix franchise.
Ray -next big movie you guys are looking forward to seeing
Patriots vs Bills - Cleaning up the back porch conversation - Biggest game for the Pats since 2018 Superbowl?
Predictions.
HEADLINES with the Obvious One
The Patriots take on the Bills Sunday at 1pm in the anticipated rematch of the Wind Bowl in Buffalo 3 weeks ago. With a Bills victory they would lead the division with the division record tiebreaker over the Pats. The Patriots look to bounce back from a filthy Colts loss and lock up the AFC East.
The Covid Celtics defeat the Covid Cavs 111 to 101. Jaylen Brown lead all scorers with 34 points and pitched in 6 rebounds. Robert Williams had one of his best games as a Celitcs with 21 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists, and jacked his trade value to the moon, make a fucking deal Brad. And the 40 year old Joe Johnson scores his 1st points in the NBA since 2018.
In other related Covid news, it's official the NHL will not be sending any players to Beijing for the Winter Olympics.
The NBA however plans to power through. Adam Silver speaking on the issue, "This virus will not be eradicated and we're going to have to learn to live with it"
Celtics chat - Takeaways from Covid Celtics * Jaylen Brown is still legit. He's a bucket. two straight games with 30 plus. Would love it if the Jays figured it out. * Philly game is a perfect example of needing Horford and the Celtics still being the Celtics * Peyton Pritchard needs to be your backup PG * I'm just down with Marcus Smart. - Annoying sequence - Over passing then took a shot to the face and acted like he was shot * Robert Williams is the perfect trade bait
Covid in the NBA
"We, of course, looked at all the options, but frankly we're having trouble coming up with what the logic would be behind pausing right now as we look through these cases literally ripping through the country right now -- putting aside the rest of the world," Silver said. "I think we're finding ourselves where we knew we were gonna get to for the past several months. And that is, this virus will not be eradicated, and we're going to have to learn to live with it. I think that's what we're experiencing in the league right now."
