Hi Folks,

We do a ton of insightful, thoughtful, and serious features here at Footballguys with smart people thinking deeply for you.

This is not one of those features.

This is Random Shots, and it's a few pages of me sharing all the random goofiness from this week. With maybe a music note and sometimes a "soap box" wrap at the end.  

Here's to Football.

Week 12 in three seconds.

 

Plus, the best idea I've heard this week:

 

 

Elite-level celebration.

Old School Mid-West folks may know this one from the Euchre card game.

 

 

Accurate.

 

Coming to theaters 2027...

 

Some things don't change.

 

Far be it from me to undermine workplace productivity... But College Basketball Season is here!

 

Punter Energy gets me every time.

 

A good life rule:  Always assume there's more to the story.

 

Please let this happen.

 

Eagles - Cowboys in one picture.

 

To be fair, Sanders posted a QB rating above room temperature Sunday, which was some 50 points better than the week before. 

But let's pump the brakes a bit on the "66-yard pass completion".

 

Related. I'm with Emmanuel Acho, we're dropping Heisman poses now for swing pass completions?

 

Big Man was moving. 

 

Lane Kiffin does it again?

Side (but important) note: The SEC Shorts, like this column, are silly and goofy and really not important.

But shoutout to the woman in the clip, Chelsi Davis, who recently did something very not silly and not goofy and very important. 

"Two months ago, Davis was notified that she was a bone marrow match for a patient in the United States fighting Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Chelsi has been on the NMDP (formerly Be The Match) registry since 2017, when she signed up in memory of her grandmother, who passed away from leukemia in her 40s. Her grandmother wasn’t able to find a matching donor, so when Chelsi learned she could help someone else, she didn’t hesitate for a second.

Last week, she flew to Houston, where she donated stem cells from her blood over the course of two straight days. Those stem cells were immediately shipped to the patient’s hospital, where they’re now providing life-giving support in that patient’s fight against cancer.

Chelsi didn’t do any of this for praise or attention. In fact, the only reason she’s allowing us to share her story is the hope that it might encourage someone else to join the registry.

If you’re between the ages of 18–35 and want to sign up, you could be like Chelsi and help save someone’s life. Just follow the link below: my.nmdp.org"

Rock on, Chelsi.

I read this quickly in our Footballguys News Wire:

"Free-agent TE Qadir Ismail (Jaguars) was signed to the Chicago Bears practice squad Monday, Nov. 24."

And thought to myself, "Wow. Qadry Ismail is way too old to play tight end..."

Davante Adams at the goal line is a problem.

 

The longer I watch this league, the more I'm convinced this is right.

Get these three locked in, and the rest will follow. And of course, the roster matters. But get the GM right, and you'll get the rest right. 

 

Truth.

 

If someone asked me how to be a reporter, I'd tell them to watch and do whatever Holly Rowe does.

 

All of us on Sunday.

 

And it wasn't just fans.
