I assumed it was a scorigami, but never went and checked. It was a pretty amazing game. I was very happy that the Bills pulled it off.

I went to bed right as they were scoring to get to 31 points. Never imagined they'd get another 10 before the end.

Today is Monday, Sept. 8, the 251st day of 2025
with 114 to follow.

The moon is waning. Morning stars are Jupiter, Mercury, Neptune, Saturn, Uranus and Venus. Evening stars are Mars, Mercury, Neptune and Saturn.

On this date in history:


In 1565, the Spanish founded the first continuously inhabited European settlement in what is now the continental United States on the site of the present St. Augustine, Fla.

In 1900, more than 6,000 people were killed when a hurricane and tidal wave struck Galveston, Texas.

In 1935, an assassin shot U.S. Sen. Huey P. Long at the Capitol in Baton Rouge, La. Long died two days later. His close friend, James O'Conner, Louisiana public service commission, recounted to United Press how the senator collapsed in his arms after the shooting.

In 1941, the Siege of Leningrad -- the Russian city now known as St. Petersburg -- began. The Germany army held the blockade for more than two years during World War II, resulting in the deaths of about 1 million civilians and Soviet troops.

In 1943, U.S. Gen. Dwight Eisenhower announced that Italy surrendered to the Allied forces after the fall of fascist leader Benito Mussolini.

In 1945, U.S. troops arrived in southern Korea after Soviet troops occupied the north. The occupations, initially thought to be temporary, eventually resulted in the Korean War and separate states.

In 1966, Star Trek premiered on NBC-TV.

In 1974, U.S. President Gerald Ford granted former President Richard Nixon, who had resigned a month earlier in the wake of the Watergate scandal, a full pardon for any offenses he may have committed during his years in office.

In 1994, a USAir Boeing 737 (Flight 427) suddenly rolled to the left, spiraled out of control and fell 6,000 feet in a crash near Pittsburgh that killed 132 people. A problem with the plane's rudder control system was eventually cited as the probable cause of the disaster.

In 2018, Naomi Osaka became the first Japanese woman to win a Grand Slam in her 6-2, 6-4 defeat of American Serena Williams at the U.S. Open.

In 2021, a 12-ton statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee was taken down and cut to pieces in Richmond, Va.

In 2022, Queen Elizabeth III, the longest-serving monarch in British history, died at her Balmoral estate in Scotland at the age of 96. Her eldest son ascended the throne as King Charles III.

In 2024, a fuel tanker collided with another truck in Nigeria, killing dozens of people.

Per Fox Sports, it's the first time a team had 40+ points and 235+ yards rushing in a game and lost. Prior to last night, they were 277-0.

This snippet from The Athletic was just too funny not to post:

Cleveland's luck. Just as sure as the sun rises, the Browns will disappoint their fans. Their defense held Cincinnati to just two yards of offense in the second half, but two drops-turned-interceptions and a kicker who couldn't hit the ocean from a boat cost Cleveland in a 17-16 loss.

Lol, that's spot on.

I'm not one who generally believes in curses, but this all started when we let Phil Dawson go because we didn't want to pay him. Now there was a guy who knew how to kick in our stadium. At one point, he even had a flag put up in a specific spot and used that one instead of the other flags around the stadium, because he figured out where the wind direction was best represented. We've been having trouble finding a decent kicker ever since.

And since we started talking about it and FB is always spying on us, I just came across this jersey someone made, in the same vain as our infamous QB jersey.
