It's a MACtion evening in Akron! My third MAC stadium I've visited today.

For those keeping track at home, we've had a fair catch on a terrible kickoff, UMass fumbling on their first snap, Akron scoring and having it upheld, and the ROTC shooting the cannon of triumph twice. In 49 seconds.

I will be reporting live from Akron and Muncie this week. Let's get weird folks #maction @sickoscommittee.org

Holy crap, Connor Bedard. That chip off the wall, the speed to get behind the defender, and that gorgeous pass to set up the goal. My goodness he's fun to watch.

@sickoscommittee.org Can myself and @itguy88.bsky.social ask for the help of our fellow Sickos for things to do in Akron and Muncie for our MACtion World Tour this week?

How on Earth did the Bears just win that football game. Just.....how. I find it so hard to comprehend that they won.

Seriously. Fire Richard Hightower into the sun.

Rule of Cool should have overshadowed Chase Brown getting a fingernail on Edmunds there.

You have got to throw that flag for horse-collar there. That should have 1000% been offsetting penalties. Ridiculous.

I swear to everything holy if they call this a touchback I'm just going to write a sternly worded letter to Roger Goodell and come up with four or five different ways to tell him he's an abomination.

Beautifully executed play by the Bears. Adam Archuleta: "God, this play was all about how stupid the Bengals were."

Archuleta literally drew a line toward the two players that were shadowing Williams in case he ran forward. Between this kind of commentary and the failure to show a face-on replay of whether that field goal attempt was blocked, this has been an utterly terrible broadcast.

Ah yes, Adam Archuleta. It would have been a brilliant move to spike the ball on 3rd and 1 at the 50-yard line.

God Adam Archuleta freaking sucks. This has been just the absolute worst listen. I can barely hear him over the axe grinding at criticizing every single thing the Bears do.

Can someone explain to me why Richard Hightower is still employed by the Bears?

Bought tickets for UMass-Akron and Kent State-Ball State next week. @itguy88.bsky.social and I are so ready for our MACtion week road trip. Will report for the @sickoscommittee.org

I'm finding it hard to grasp I was watching this Dodgers team playing the Cubs at 5am more than seven months ago. What a season.

My application to be considered a full @sickoscommittee.org member: a Dude costume while handing out candy...and football for parents to enjoy when they stop by.

Spreading the good word of the Church of the Latter Day Dude this evening. The Dude abides.

Angling for an influencer deal with Old Style.

It's a Thursday night, and two-TV football night in the garage, so of course I have deployed the @sickoscommittee.org flag

I drank several Old Styles and had a couple of slices of delightful pizza tonight. I clearly set the tone for this #Blackhawks performance.

Holy crap, Fire. What a freaking strike. What a freaking comeback. Let's go win this thing.

This entire team needs to walk back to Chicago. That is literally the stupidest sequence of plays and decisions I've seen in a long, long time.

This entire football weekend has been so, so horrible. I just want to get the Men in Black neuralizer and just erase all that from my memory.

That's two intentional grounding penalties today for Caleb, and neither one of them was remotely necessary. Come on man. Get your head in the game.

Well my entire Sunday just got ruined seeing that Cam Skattebo injury. God dang it that sucks.

This is the biggest load of garbage I've seen in quite some time. That is 1000% a fumble and this officiating crew should be suspended.

Sexy bars near me. Let's party folks

The Amtrak train I'm riding on this morning struck and killed a person trying to cross the tracks on a bicycle. Please, please, PLEASE pay attention at crossings. When the lights are flashing, don't try to beat the train across. www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/p...

This play was poultry-in-motion (yes, this post is dedicated to @kdzwierzynski.bsky.social )

I met a personal hero of mine tonight

This has been an utterly delightful second half. #COYG

What the hell is Drew Dalman doing today?

Spencer Rattler is really the best the Saints can do, eh?

It is wild to me that bumping the quarterback's head AFTER you hit his arm is still a personal foul. Just put flags on the guy, for God's sake.

I see we're already back at the "referees making up penalties to call" part of the program for the Bears. Utter nonsensical call on Loveland.

No Hawaii Test to pass tonight, but perhaps I have a Palo Alto pop quiz to pass? @sickoscommittee.org

Stop fumbling you goofs.

#ForksUp Yes, I'm aware it's an Illinois koozie. I contain multitudes

15 minutes in, and it's been a good afternoon so far. May it continue.

What on Earth was Vanderbilt thinking there? Goofy play call, terrible execution, terrible everything.

Pac-12 After Dark never died. It just changed its conference affiliation. @sickoscommittee.org

The football gods are just openly contemptuous of Bill Belichick at this point.

If you're watching UNC-Cal, you'll chuckle because this is an entirely accurate representation of the audio from the review room.

I tuned into the Blackhawks at exactly the wrong time. That is one of those officiating calls that all the replay in the world apparently can't fix.

The look my wife gave me when I told her I was going to sit in the garage watching this game has convinced me I'm definitely a sicko....and I'm fine with it.

Bet. *Cracks another beer

I was part of the Dodging Illini club when I was down in Champaign, so it's a pleasant sight to see the school ranked here.

Tulsa is averaging 18.7 points per game this season. East Carolina is averaging 28.5 points per game. It's already 24-14 ECU leading with nine minutes left in the second quarter.
