It’s the Festivus edition of whatever it is I do while playing OOTP. Join me for grievances (many), feats of strength (few) and continued dominance by the 2031 Pirates (so much). Drops are on and so am I. twitch.tv/shawncurtis430

Ginny, the cat of mine obsessed with light refraction and laser pointers, made the saddest trill when the laser pointer that she adores pointed its last laser. (I have a backup laser pointer that has already helped her forget about the loss of the former primary pointer)

I watch football. Ginny watches me. World keeps spinning.

At least 35 to 40% of fans inside Lucas Oil Stadium tonight are children of Phillip Rivers.

Well, the Colts’ uniforms are trash.

Outside of what I’m wearing, I’m caught up on laundry for the first time in a long time. I think Vin Scully’s reaction to Kirk Gibson’s home run in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series – after he rounded the bases – is appropriate here.

In the two months since purchasing a new vehicle, I’m reminded that the most competitive – and populated – industry in the world is for extended warranties.

The channel returns after a few days away to keep on the fevered start from the 2031 Pirates juggernaut. Can Hiroshi “Trogdor” Uemura keep up his 100-home-run pace? Drops are on and so am I. twitch.tv/shawncurtis430

You will be visited by three spirits.

As long as Mike Tomlin is coaching, I really need to treat the Steelers’ ninth win of the season like the 1972 Dolphins celebrate the last team to lose every season.

I’m afraid to turn the television away from CBS for fear that I’ll miss Jim Nantz breaking in with, “They’ve actually decided to give the Lions two more downs. We don’t know why and neither do they.”

The impending Mike Tomlin metaphor when he takes the podium is going to hit like lemonade in the summer.

I'm really having a hard time deciding whether the end of that game or the coin toss incident is the weirdest thing the Steelers have encountered in Detroit

I just cannot stop laughing. That was just the most comical way to finish a game.

If the Ford Field DJ played “Yakety Sax” during the officials discussion, it would be fitting.

Is an ACC crew working this game in Detroit.

What’s good: That was an S-tier doink. What’s bad: It was Chris Boswell.

*taps the sign*

Wait. Are the Steelers actually unleashing hell in December?

Jaylen Warren and 45-yard touchdown runs in Detroit, like peanut butter and jelly.

Me, to myself: "You know, Willie Parker busted a long run at Ford Field in the Sup- ... Oh hey, Jaylen Warren?"

So Darnell Washington was flagged for standing too hard? Is that what happened?

I had predicted to a co-worker that a tush-push snap this week was going to be flipped back to Aaron Rodgers with a wideout standing in his own area code. Turns out that I was incorrect.

Kyle Dugger is offense.

Did Gainwell yell “CONTINUATION!” before getting up and running that catch in?

That’s not a positive piece of footage.

This will become a very popular GIF.

Chris Boswell is offense.

Detroit wearing monochrome blue is bad enough, but when there is no trim on the pants, it really looks like the team is wearing its pajamas.

Your Holiness. I’ve seen what you can do for the White Sox. All I’m asking is for Kazuma Okamoto in Pittsburgh. Yours in baseball, - Shawn

Chat, this is an item available for commerce in these United States. And if my choices in this life led me to seeking out new ramen options at 8ish a.m. on a Sunday, you best believe that this is in my cart.

Is Oxford also going for the world's biggest hotbox today?

If the happenings in Oxford are anything other than Mississippi winning by 30-plus, this week's SEC Shorts might be an all-timer.

Are Texas A&M's struggles on the football field cosmic balancing for the women's volleyball team being sprinkled with team-of-destiny dust?

As a football game, Miami-Texas A&M has had its issues. As a performance art piece revolving around the occasional futility of the human race, using football as its canvas, this game is hitting all the marks

A look at both sidelines in College Station.

Hey, Rob Atkinson exists again and scores a set piece goal before Middlesbrough realized that he existed! A glorious development for Bristol City. Up the Robins.

A yawning cat is always fodder for a great image.

After watching 30 minutes of this game, I’d support both Alabama and Oklahoma getting eliminated, and Indiana getting a super-bye.

John Mateer is the most college football ass college football quarterback. (Complimentary) (Derogatory)

This is some NBA Jam level of rubber-banding.

Career Driven City Girl: “I could never love another special teams coordinator. Not after… The Fake Punt.”

I rescind and regret nothing about my previous prisoner-of-the-moment posts about Alabama.

That touchdown may ensure that Alabama has a slot in the Europa League field after its early CFP ouster.

Hey! An Alabama first down!

I was told that Alabama-Oklahoma was going to be one of the competitive first-round games.

John Mateer throws every ball like a gamer who holds the selected pass button with the entire weight of their thumb on “Madden NFL” or “EA Sports College Football” games.

Look, I’m not saying that Notre Dame would fare better against Oklahoma’s defense than Alabama has, but Notre Dame fans will and likely have a valid argument.
