Preseason Week 3: Sunday Games Open Thread

After some erudite discussion of Jonathan Martin’s recent mention of suicidal thoughts, it looks like things are back to normal in my beloved Raider Nation…

telling-not-spelling

Houston takes on New Orleans at 4 p.m. EST today, followed by Arizona at Oakland at 8 p.m. EST.  Enjoy the limited action today, folks!

NBC breaks out The Humpty Dance for pre-season Raiders.

makeitsnowondem

The other problem with Ellington was he wouldn’t stop improvising.

Doktor Zymm

Do players ever bitch about the weird baseballish surface?

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I owe you a pic for repeating your comment, Who do you want?

Doktor Zymm

Anyone with nice shoulders will do nicely.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I am a guy, I know that is a specific thing for you but I will have to work to find a good pic, you aren’t getting a random athelete

Doktor Zymm

No worries, I trust your magical pic finding ability.

Doktor Zymm

Pizza in toaster oven, wine in glass, footballish on screen. Put first two in mouth, last one in eyeballs.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I for a moment forgot Houston. That happens among fans so I am ok.

Doktor Zymm

What does Houston have to do with the NFL? They haven’t had a team in years I think.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

First off. Slacker. I started drinking for the NO/Someone game earlier. Second you care about Oakland?

Maybe this should be the team approach.

Mother Puncher

Dear dog,

We cannot go for a walk because I have diarrhea. Please accept extra petting as a consolation.

2 eps of Archer and then I am back in for the late game

laserguru

Sunday Gravy is live! The fucks going on folks!?!

ballsofsteelandfury

WOOOOOOOOOO

King Hippo

you gon’ eat even during football season??

New game: Unpopular opinions of non-politically-charged subjects that you hold.

I’ll start: I do not like fake breasts.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Stainless steel urinals; TOO MUCH SPLASH-BACK!

ballsofsteelandfury

I hate waterless urinals with a passion. For one, because they always reek to high hell. For two, every single one has a stupid plaque in front that has the phrase “by using this urinal, you are helping the environment to conserve 40,000 gallons…”

The environment can’t conserve SHIT! If anything, rephrase it to “you are helping the environment BY CONSERVING 40,000” Call me a grammar nazi, but it pisses me off.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Part of it is also saving on plumbing piping costs. Owners who are worth a damn are putting in grey water systems.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

The technology/ production is there for very low flow fixtures that with the right maintenance alleviate these problems, they are just not getting used or used correctly.

Mother Puncher

Emily Raatakowski’s lips make me hate the rest of her.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I am also angry for the lack of Emily Mooseboating (TM).

King Hippo

I dislike Star Wars. EVEN THE ORIGINAL.

UDFA

Sorry I missed all the great comments about lousy football and small portions.
Perhaps I’ll just amuse myself by seeing if there any interesting photos in the comments.

ballsofsteelandfury

See you in two hours.

makeitsnowondem

It’s time for draft prep with make it snow and his friend, 32-oz Bottle of Lagunitas Sucks.

“Grandfathered” will suck.

I swear I did not even see the TVNotas watermark and I knew she was a Mexican actress. They have a certain look that’s almost a cliché by now…

King Hippo

Christ, how I love Latin America.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

OK, so this is the open open thread, not just the open thread.

Sill Bimmons

On the NJT platform in Rahway.

No football here?

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

@Balls I say last pic when I plan to leave. That never works out.

ballsofsteelandfury

Works for us.

Next week’s DFO Late Night theme: Underboob

Horatio Cornblower

We should do a post on other things Brian Cushing can’t believe. I’ll start.

“Wait, pectoral muscles tear when you load up on HGH? I can’t believe that!”

Sill Bimmons

“Biceps too? Outrageous!”

ballsofsteelandfury

“Wait, long hair isn’t cool unless you are in a rock band? I can’t believe that!”

Horatio Cornblower

People go to class at USC?*

*this probably isn’t actually true

ballsofsteelandfury

Gamecocks or Trojans? Actually, both will work.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van
ballsofsteelandfury

Hello Kitty really makes the picture.

Horatio Cornblower

That ass is probably taking up three of those 15 tabs

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van
ballsofsteelandfury

Wait, so is this the last pic or is there another last pic yet to be revealed?

ballsofsteelandfury

Draft in 2 hours and 35 minutes! Who’s ready?!?

Old School Zero

LONG STRONG READY TO GET MY DRAFTING ON

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

OH FUCK WHO LET ME DRINK BOOZE TODAY? My draft is gonna be shit

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I told Sill I would read up on the rules. I didn’t. FUCK. Should I just draft Bears even though I know they will be terrible?

ballsofsteelandfury

Sill moved the date of the crazy 20 team league to September 8. Originally it was supposed to be today, which would have been insane as it originally coincided with me drafting in the Gratuitous Simpsons References League which has normal rules.

Sill Bimmons

My draft isn’t until Tuesday Sept. 8.

You’re all good.

Horatio Cornblower

I just went to the package store to get beer and found it closed. Because it’s after 5 on Sunday.

Fuck you Connecticut.

Sill Bimmons

I MISSED MY RIDE TO THE SHOW

ballsofsteelandfury

WTF is the deal with northern states, Canada, and bizarre booze laws? It seems the colder it gets the more insane people get about their liquor.

Sill Bimmons

Too many Puritans.

Horatio Cornblower

What Sill said. The old Puritan Blue Laws forbade sales of alcohol on Sunday. CT recently opened up Sunday, but only until 5 pm. The indy package store owners didn’t want Sunday sales because it was their only day off; the grocery stores fought the issue and 5 pm was the compromise.

Old School Zero

My thoughts on tonight’s game:

Thanks for the pics!

ballsofsteelandfury

I ate a whole jar of pickle spears yesterday. I’m actually pissed I got distracted by something else and forgot to drink the juice.

Old School Zero

CHUG! CHUG! CHUG! CHUG! CHUG!

ballsofsteelandfury

Something is wrong with me (well, maybe more than one thing), but I swear I love pickle juice.

Are we not doing phrasing anymore?

Old School Zero

Are we doing ‘are we not doing phrasing anymore’?

ballsofsteelandfury

I figure then phrasing will come around again.

PHRASING!

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van
ballsofsteelandfury

TWINS!!

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van
ballsofsteelandfury

You don’t need to apologize.

Mother Puncher

What are the odds Wilfork survives his 40s?

ballsofsteelandfury

The conditioning runs? I say 75-25.

scotchnaut

When Tom Savage gets cut he’s going to be immediately transferred to a 1950’s cartoon strip. He will be chasing an over-the-top racist depiction of an Asian bad guy that has a piece of the True Cross. He will win in the end.

Mother Puncher

Holy shit Obama just renamed Mt. McKinley.

ballsofsteelandfury

Nah, they’ll just come from Ohio. Everyone else will think they are naming it after the truck.

After I read 1000 words I don’t care. I am sure everyone will realize this is important to one state and no one else will care and this will not be turned into a national topic

King Hippo

Obama did it. So clearly all part of the radical homosexual Muslim socialist agenda.

Horatio Cornblower

I’ve been calling it Denali for years. Most people I know do the same.

Because we’re elitist assholes you see.

Doktor Zymm

Okay, I think I’m gonna play more Dragon Age until the late “game.”

See y’all in a bit.

Cardinal at Raiders?

I have a fully stocked booze cabinet and don’t have enough alcohol for that.

Switching over from Japan’s domination of our nation’s weakling-participation-trophy-ass children to A GRIPPING 13-6 HOU/NO game! BE STILL MY THROBBING FOOTBALL ERECTION!

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Ok, never thought I would defend baseball. Don’t we send a random little league team against their best in country?

Old School Zero

The US LL tourney champion plays against the winner of the International tourney.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Yeah, some random LL team plays, lets start recruiting our kids when they are 10

King Hippo

Even when I was a kid and someone had that shit on, I always cheered for Japan (then Taiwan ,, no ofence).

Sorry, Coach Parcells. I’ll do some wind sprints now.

Mother Puncher

I made some sauerkraut with yeungling but now I’m stuck with all this yeungling.

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

I know people here in St. Louis who would commit minor felonies for Yuengling

Doktor Zymm

Yuengling is my sentimental mid-grade, value priced East Coast beer favorite.

Doktor Zymm

There is a town in NJ called Metuchen. There is a town in VA called Manassas. Put em together, say em out loud and let your inner 8 year old giggle.
