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.

Let's start with a banger.

 

 

If a fantasy football season were 9 seconds like this video, we're about 6 seconds in.

But so far, this feels pretty accurate.

Make sure to have the sound on.

Just going to drop this one here.

 

Winner.

 

 

They are passionate.

 

 

I'm with Jake Bryant. Some of these "In The Hunt" teams kill me.

 

Ok, then.

 

 

A Thanksgiving Tradition.

 

 

I looked past the Anakin Skywalker face paint thing.

But the mean girl gum-chewing hair flip is going to be a challenge.

 

Throwback - Long Snappers are different.

 

I love the "small things" in the game. "Late Hands" for wide receivers is one of those things. As if the defensive back's job wasn't difficult enough already.

 

It’s tempting to think things are crazier now than ever. But it wasn’t that long ago we had Antonio Brown out there spanking referees. And somehow, they were into it.

 

Tony knew.

 

So sad.

 

Mike Tomlin tells you what he's thinking.

 

Thank you, Internet.

 

Kickers are the one area where fantasy football and NFL football feel almost exactly the same.

 

Life Rule. It's probably a good idea to have the next coach lined up before you fire the good one you have.

And this is exactly the kind of pettiness I'm here for as James Franklin revives Virginia Tech.

Thanks to Bob Henry for that one.

I'm with Mike here.

 

If you're a helmet / uniform nerd like me, you may like this. In a world filled with automation, it's interesting that there's so much hands-on work here.

 

"There's a lot of stuff."

Flashback to April of 2024 and what could have been.

 

Things move fast.

 

Send this to the IT person in your life.

And thank them.

Kids in the Midwest this week.

 

The College Playoffs are a beauty pageant sham.

The NFL Playoffs are wild. But at least they decide it on the field. Not by some committee that says it's impossible to compare Notre Dame to Miami. When Notre Dame and Miami played each other.

 

This year's Panthers.

Hmmm.

And Big 10 fantasies aside, the only way DeBoer goes to Penn State is if Alabama fires him.

 

Dang.

 

Crosby had enough.

 

Few things are more "What have you done for me lately?" than quarterbacking in the NFL.

 

10 of 10

 

On the downside, the whining and crying from some people over football announcers will never cease to amaze me.

 

Just wait till those guys realize Collinsworth was pronouncing his name correctly.

 

Shelby Harris did not hold back.

 

They could well collapse. But it's getting kind of late to say it's still early.

 

The skill and athleticism of the players continue to rise. It's amazing.

 

THE DOG WAS A PROP

 

Every Non-LSU fan is shocked by this, I'm sure. 

Perfect.

 

This.

 

Music Note this week is from Jesse Wells. "America, Girl" is a good one. If you know me, you won't be surprised I love it.

One thing for sure is that this guy listened to a lot of Bob Dylan growing up.

Thanks to Joey Wright for that one.

College Rivalries are the best.

 

Me this week.

 

Big Guy TD

 

The TV Production Crew was on it.

 

Well played, Auburn.

 

Some insight on the local vibe for the Lane Kiffin to LSU move:

 

For sure, just a coincidence.

 

Stafford threw two picks before this post was 30 minutes old.

 

True.

 

This feels like a family budgeting problem.

 

NBA is BACK

 

I love this. I realize I may be in the minority as everyone loves defending "business decisions".  But there's something about battling with your team. Even when it's likely over. 

 

Closing with this one. 

Lane Kiffin leaving Ole Miss provided lots of chatter this week and made my job easier with plenty of things to pick from.

My favorite thing by far, though, is new coach Pete Golding and how he's doing everything he can to rally and refocus his team. 

Love this so much.

It's more comfortable lots of times when trouble or challenges hit to make excuses or put something off.

Golding had a different message to his team:

"We don't give a sh*t. Parking lot, playoffs, playground, spot that damn ball and we gonna play..." 

Rock on. And Spot That Damn Ball.

Thank you for being part of this goofy journey with us.

And thanks to Footballguys Keith Overton, Phil Alexander, Dave Kluge, Sigmund Bloom, Jake Bryant, Bob Henry, and Clayton Gray for the help. If you've got a Random Shot of your own, email me at bryant@footballguys.com.

Thanks for playing along, and I hope you make the most of whatever you're doing in your life. Love your neighbor and stick together.

Peace and Grace to you.
