Week 9 Memes

by

What a crazy week that was in the NFL!

First Von Miller kicks it all of by making a move to the Rams, and then Henry Ruggs III made some truly bone headed decisions that took lives and his career.

Then of course there were the wild and wacky week 9 games, with the Broncos laying a major turd on the chests of the Dallas Cowboys.

Not to be outdone, the Jacksonville Jaguars and Urban Meyer gave it the old ‘college girl try’, as they were able to stifle the Buffalo Bills and irk out a week 9 win.

Oh yeah, and Aaron Rodgers probably only tells us what we want to hear, and doesn’t really care about what people actually think.
That’s just the impression that people are getting.

Until then, enjoy these memes to make your week 10 kick off in style!

News of Nov

by

Week 9 in the NFL felt like a year, with all of the news, injuries and bat crap craziness.

Let’s take a look at some of the storylines swirling around the league as we head into week 10, with our News of Nov.

Make sure you join us every Sunday at either the Sports Bar & Grill Old Street or Clapham, where we will be showing all of the games plus Redzone.

Josh Allen

Josh Allen was the star of Week 9, after not only sacking Bills QB Josh Allen, but also intercepting him and scooping up an Allen fumble.

The Bills too a major beatdown from Urban Meyer and the Jags on Sunday, in what seemed to be an equal shock to both teams.

The normally pedestrian Jacksonville defence looked to be the top of their game, as they held Buffalo to a frustrating Sunday of football.

Urban Meyer keeps his job safe for another week, despite a potential injury to Trevor Lawrence, while the Buffalo Bills need to have a talk amongst themselves to figure out what went wrong.

It was a good day for Josh Allen regardless.

Raided

What a bad week for the Las Vegas Raiders.
Not only did Henry Ruggs III make a truly boneheaded move that resulted in death, but rookie Damon Arnette was also cut from the team for bad behaviour.

Arnette reportedly threatened to kill numerous people, as well as harm.

Whatever is going on in Las Vegas, it needs to change as the bad boy reputation of the team continues to drag them down.

Baker BJ

OBJ and his dad got their way, as Odell rode off to free agency after a disintegration of their relationship.

Baker Mayfield and the Browns responded in week 9 by absolutely trashing the Bengals in an ugly affair.

Cleveland has a great O line and a solid D, it’s the uo and down play of Baker Mayfield that makes this team hard to trust in the long run, especially the way that the Titans are playing.

Bear Mauled

In a true game travesty on MNF, the Chicago Bears were royally screwed by bad, bad refs.

In fact the refs were so bad, many Bears fans are tossing out claims of corruption and fix, after some truly biased calls by the refs.

A taunting call that had no taunting, and a ref leaning in to make contact with a Bears player, only so that he could throw a flag on the player for running into him.

Bears fans are livid, and the refs better watch their backs.

Rodger Me

Aaron Rodgers continues to have the spotlight shine on him, after it was revealed that he is not vaxxed and thinks he is smarter than everyone else.

Rodgers recent antics in the past few weeks must be a relief to the Packers, who will be losing the all star QB next season.  Why court that kind of drama when it’s going to overshadow the team every week?

Packers fans were hopeful that the new heir apparent Jordan Love would step up last week to offer some sort of heroics, only to look like a giant turd against a very weak Chiefs squad.

Green Bay fans can look to Boston to see what their future holds.

Just another average team, with an average QB.

Dem Boyz

Michael Irvin has been choking on his own spittle for the past few days, as his Dallas Cowboys laid a giant turd against a mediocre Denver Broncos on Sunday.

Teddy looked far superior to Dak, and the running game of the Broncos could not be stopped as they stole a W from the Cowboys.

Fans in Texas will wonder if this was just a blip, or if the Cowboys just aren’t that good.

Week 9 Tips

by

What an explosive week in the NFL, as teams and players got shook by COVID news, last minute trades, and unfortunate accidents.

What does it mean for your Week 9 NFL fantasy lineups? Not a whole heck of a lot, but we will try to give some clarity as Wade and Ryan present their Week 9 tips.

Packing

Dirty, dirty Aaron, as it emerged this week he was ‘immunised’ and thought he could get away with trying to be smarter than everyone.

Sadly he’s still an NFL player, and beholden to the rules of the league, not of his own bodily choices.

Despite assurances from Dr. Joe Rogan, Rodgers tested positive this week for COVID and will miss the afternoon matchup against the Chiefs.

However this whole mess works itself out, Rodgers legitimacy took a knock here, as his arrogance once again showed he still marches to his own beat.

Somewhere Tom Brady is shaking his head in dismay.

Brown Town

The shit hit the fan in Cleveland, as OBJ Sr. took to YouTube to point out the mistakes of the struggling Baker Mayfield.

Despite displaying his superior acting ability, it became evident that Mayfield was indeed not happy with the critique, and soon OBJ found himself on the outs, and on the waivers.

The Browns have begun to sink into their own mess, and it’s hard to see ways that they will be able to not only salvage the season, but the past decade of draft building.

How did it all far apart so quickly?

Ryans Tips

Buffalo, Buffalo, Bills (-14.5) would be Ryan’s advice for Week 9, as they face the hapless Jacksonville Jaguars in swampy Florida.
Despite struggling last week against the pitiful Dolphins, the Bills could put some distance between them and the rest of the AFC with a definitive win.

Burrow and the Bengals (-3) took a sad loss to the Jets last week, propelling them down the rankings after a showing of such idiocy.
Ryan likes the Bengals to come back in this one to slip a punch into the jaw of the weakened Browns.

Shanahan’s Magic has been shining through in San Francisco (-2.5), and Ryan sees that continuing as the 49ers face off against a struggling Arizona Cardinals who have also been hit by injury and COVID.
San Fran has been on a roll as of late, and he likes them to lay a beat on the 1 loss Arizona team.

It’s been a tough week for the Raiders (-3), but Ryan thinks this is the kind of motivation that builds winners. Las Vegas has a chance to extract a beating from the Giants, and help them move up in a tight AFC West.
Ryan believes in the Carr-Do attitude that will help Vegas choke out Daniel Jones.

If you parlay Ryan’s 4 picks of the BILLS, BENGALS, 49ers, and RAIDERS at a £10 wager, you would win a payout of £151.48.

Wade’s Picks

Houston, we have a problem…Tyrod Taylor is back!
Sure, the Texans (+6.5) have been woeful this season, but Tyrod was one of the main guys to keep them in the game.
Miami is atrocious, and the Texans should be able to capitalise on the Florida drama by keeping this game at least close.

Bill Belichick may have haunted Sam Darnold with ghosts last year, but Sam’s not in New York anymore.
The Panthers (+4) have added Gilmore, as well as the return of Christian McCaferry who should provide some headaches for the Patriots D.
Carolina needs this home win, and they have the tools to get ‘er done.

It’s been a hell of a week to be a Raiders fan, coming off a bye week of tragedy.
Teams usually need a coach to help them rally, but oops, they lost him too.
The Raiders may have come off a bye week, but it might not seem enough time given what has happened.
The Giants (+3) might have loads of injuries, but they still have a pretty solid D that has kept them in some games, look for that D to do the same on Sunday.

Aaron Rodgers is a dirty boy, which means it’s time to clean up with Jordan Love.
Unlike other teams who were quick to roll out their top draft picks, the Packers (+7) have been stewing and simmering Love for the right time.
What could be better than a match up between a struggling Chiefs team, who suddenly find themselves in the limelight again?
Packers will keep this close, and might even win it.

If you like Wade’s picks of TEXANS, PANTHERS, RAIDERS, and PACKERS, a £10 bet could win you £148.10.

Immunised-Week 9

by

What a topsy turvy week it’s been in the NFL.

Week 8 brought us some major upsets, as well as injuries.
The week that followed brought us big news that the bug is still in the league, and some folks have their own stance on it.

Wade and Ryan lock and load it all down for you in this episode of the podcast we call Immunised- Week 9.

Week 8

Oh what a headache week was, as the injure bug picked off a few more victims.

Derek Henry went down for a large chunk of the season after suffering a massive win over the Colts. Fantasy fans will be livid that King Henry is absent from their lineups after infecting heavy losses on weekly opponents.

The New York Jets came alive by skinning the Bengals thanks to the heroics of Mike White.
Mike who?
Yep, Mike White stepped up to toss for over 400 yards and making a rich bettor even richer after taking such a leap of faith on the rookie.

Squeaky Kermit and the Chiefs were able to tomahawk a victory over the sad as fluck Giants.
Kansas City keeps itself alive for another week, but the shine is off the trolley as opponents are keenly aware of how easy it is to rattle Mahomes.

Miller Time

Von Miller is off to the Rams, making and Los Angeles squad even deeper and darker.

Having to face Aaron Donald every snap is scary enough, but adding the blistering energy of Von Miller is sure to take this top D to new heights.

Best of all, these guy’s will not only come to his Halloween party, they’ll probably even pay.

Oh BJ

Odell Beckham Jr. once again was under the shadow of his father, after the latter went on a tear about how his son was left open too often by Bunker Mayfield.

The Browns responded by not allowing Beckham to practice, which is a quick sign that OBJ will be hitting the Ohio highways in search of catching pastures.

Many teams would love to snag the services of this unappreciated receiver, not the least of whom would be his old buddy Sean Payton in New Orleans, who could use some speed after the loss of often injured Michael Thomas this week.

Rodgered

Aaron Rodgers made the news this week when it came out that he had failed a COVID test. The oopsie daisy got even smellier when it emerged that Rodgers wasn’t even vaccinated, and opted for a homeopathic treatment instead.

Pots called kettles black, kettles called their lawyers as the media scrambles to figure out what the league will actually do here.

Rodgers blatantly misled reporters and fans by claiming he was ‘immunised’, a tacit dodge of whether or not he had been jabbed.

Aaron will miss Week 9 versus the Chiefs, but it remains to be seen if the NFL or indeed the media might demand answers and justice for having deceived his health status to those who might have trusted his jabs.

Ryan’s Picks

Ryan has  a few choice picks for week 9, but you should listen to the whole podcast to get the full flavour.

He likes the Chargers (-3) to rebound in true electric fashion, zapping the poor Eagles in a solid win to get back they season.

Get out the sourdough, Ryan likes the 49ers (+1) to strike gold against the weekend Cardinals. Hopkins and Green will be out, leaving poor Kyler to face that pass rush. Upset win here.

Raider (-3) nation will be happy that Ryan is big on the pirates to steal a victory for the sad sack Giants.
Ruggs might be facing life, but what happens in Vegas…doesn’t work anymore.

Wade’s Picks

Tyrods’s Texans (+6.5) could keep it honest with the Dolphins, in what could be the worst game of week 9.
Gaskin will probably gash the Texans for maximum yards, but Tyrod will be able to hit Cooks to keep this close.

Bill Belichick might be a master as of late, but his castaway Gilmore might have something to say about his trip to the south.
The Panthers (+4) have found some mojo in the form of Christan McCaffery, who should be able to stay healthy for a play or two.
Carolina will pop out an upset here to make old Bill sad faced.

As Bears fan, Wade is obliged to hate the Packers (+7.5), but can’t see why they are underdogs by more than a touchdown. Green Bay’s D is a force to be fumbled with, and Jordan Love has been slowly cooking for his chance to shine.
Packers win.

Sports Bar and Grill

Both locations of Clapham and Old Street will be rocking all weekend long with NCAA football and NFL action.

Old Street stays open until 12:30am and Clapham until 11pm.

Nov News-1

by

November is here in the NFL, which means injuries, struggles and of course the big Thanksgiving games at the end of the month.

If you’re an NFL fan in the UK, November brings not only the end of the London games, but also the start of fireworks season.
Anyone with a dog knows what ghoulish hell Fireworks Night can be as a dog owner.

Of course the NFL keeps chugging along with incredible story lines, which we will touch on here in our Nov News 1.

Rugg Pulling

Henry Ruggs has had his NFL career and life of freedom curtailed this week, after killing someone while drunk driving.

Ruggs had left a Las Vegas TopGolf in the wee hours of the morning to hop in his flashy Corvette while intoxicated only to crash into another vehicle, killing one of the occupants.

This is just sad all around not only for the families who lost, but also for the promising career of a young man.

The Las Vegas Raiders were quick to release Ruggs, who will most likely never play in the NFL ever again now that he is facing two felony charges for the accident.

It doesn’t get any easier for this Vegas team.

Miller Time

The LA Rams just got a whole heck of a lot better after signing veteran Von Miller to their D.

Miller is a short-sighted beast on D, whose ageing presence will add much to the LA dynamic and pass rush ability.

Rumour has it that Miller wanted out of the Broncos because may of his team members had refused to contribute towards an annual Halloween party.

Miller has allegedly decided to host the party to help motivate the team after a series of losses, then became angry once his teammates refused to contribute financially.

What a petty way to lose an integral part of the team!

At least Von Miller will be able to party his way into the playoffs, something the Broncos won’t see for years.

Jets Down

Mike White the hero of the Jets?

It seems that way after the nobody White was able to lead his J-E-T-S to a crazy upset victory over the Bengals on Sunday.

Zach Wilson is failing to impress, as the Jets continue to suck on the tailpipe of the NFL for another season.

How about this bettor who thought Mike White would lead the league in Week 8?

Nice bet!

OBJ Sr

Odell Beckham Jr’s daddy is mad at Baker, and drama ensues.

Baker and the Browns have been more like Turd Ferguson’s this year than anything else, as Mayfield struggles every week to check the ball down field.

Beckham Sr finally had enough this week, throwing blades that Baker was ruining his sons career.

Beckham’s career has been ‘ok’, although you still get the feeling he is living off of that one amazing catch a decade ago.

OBJ probably has another good couple years to go, just not with the Browns.

Aaron Wick

Ego puffing Aaron Rodgers continues to let everyone know it’s ‘his year’, and to ‘look at me’, despite not having held a trophy in over a decade.

Rodgers revealed this week that the reason he had been growing his hair long for the past 7 months, was for his Halloween costume!

The guy can’t commit to his team or a fiancee, but he he has the dedication to prepare his fancy dress outfit way ahead of other priorities.

Class act all the way! 

DeSean Nothing

Veteran wide receiver DeSean Jackson had enough with the winning ways of the LA Rams, and wanted out.

With all the passes going the way of Kupp and Woods, Jackson decided he would test his market strength by demanding a trade away from the Super Bowl contender Rams.

It didn’t work out so well for DeSean, as no team has come to his rescue, and it looks like he will sit out the rest of the season.

If you’re going to call someone’s bluff, make sure you have a good hand.

Week 9 London

Join us this week for some of the great games at our partner venues across the city.

Sports Bar and Grill Old Street is open until 12:30am, while the Sports Bar and Grill Clapham is open until 11pm.
