Your Monday, Not At All Funday Open Thread

Your job sucks, the apartment/house is a mess but you don’t feel like cleaning , the kids/dog/wife/girlfriend/boyfriend is/are howling at you-you need some peace, don’t you? Well here comes good old football to fill the void that family and loved ones can’t. Now just pull up your Chevy Silverado to the old TV, crack open a Bud Lite, and get face deep into a bag of Doritos while you wait for the Papa Johns to arrive. All better? All better. Now remember this feeling tomorrow morning when you get that twitch that tells you to plow into that damn crossing guard. GOD, Could She Take Any Longer To Walk Halfway Out Onto The Road And Back?

KC @ GB: She’s gonna be a sloppy one tonight folks. I checked the weather for the area and it’s 72 degrees but it feels like, ah, 72. There’s a 100% chance of rainy days and Mondays getting you down, as a skeleton once chirped. Here’s something to wrap your noodle around-Smith is only 4 yds behind Rodgers in passing yards. Rodgers pulls way ahead in overall charisma and endorsements though. The Packers rush D is a bit confused these days-they gave 141 yards to Forte but only 41 to Marshawn. JC will end up somewhere in the middle with some receiving yards to boot. Lacy and Davante Adams are listed as probable and if you tune in you can say that you were there when the WR TD drought ended because the Chiefs listed Kelce at the position. IT WAS THE ONLY WAY IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. Andy Reid is chewing the fat right now, trying to figure out what to do with CB Jamell Fleming. QB’s that pass on Fleming have a 111 rating. Guess where Rodgers is going to focus his energies? Hopefully, Justin Houston will get some pressure on Rodgers. Who the heck is Houston? He’s the guy that isn’t JJ Watt because the former actually led the league in sacks last year. The knowledge-I dropped it on you.

Immediately after getting home after seeing the Dirt Stillers most likely lose the division to the Fuckinals, I then managed to step in not one, but two separate hairballs the cats left.

How is your night?

I really should go see a game at Lambeau. As much fun as I make of Packers fans, it does seem like a good time, and I’ve heard nothing but good things as far as how they treat fans of other teams.

Shogun Marcus

I always try to take out-of-towners when possible. Even the most cynical likes it.

the Alpha and the Amoeba

If you have a chance, I would definitely recommend it. I’ve had a great time every time I went, though as a native of Green Bay I am somewhat biased.

nomonkeyfun

My good Frau Doktor,

I hope you are still around. I tried to post this picture earlier, but I am a moron. A good farewell to you gracious lady. I must ask why was Joe Friday and Charlton Heston joining Mark Trestmans’ Van so unexpected?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Glad to see no one else is having trouble with the reply function. Even though I’m a dork for having the problem it is no widespread.

Doktor Zymm

Do you mean getting stuck in reply mode? Cause I totally have that, I’ve just gotten used to clicking “cancel reply” after I reply to something.

Darkest Timeline Zack Morris

I’m looking at it – it’s something with how I have the comments setup to post without reloading the page, I just haven’t figured it out yet. Sorry, guys.

Doktor Zymm

No worries, it’s not a huge issue. Overall this runs way better than Uproxx ever did, especially on mobile.

Darkest Timeline Zack Morris

Commentist of the week right here!

nomonkeyfun

You deserve website designer of the year for keeping this thing going with all of the morons/Alison Brie fans/Tentacle porn/ general porn fans on the site.

nomonkeyfun

BTW, Maestro sent you an email about me. Take your time. Whenever you are free to deal with it get back to him or me.

Darkest Timeline Zack Morris

I got it yesterday but one of my customers had a kerplosion and the day was a cluster. I’ll have time today, but we can definitely find a place for you.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I just go to the home page and back, so no problem. Just one of those things “please don’t be just me.”

...

I stand by my assertion that Green Bay, Wisconsin is one of the worst places on Earth.

the Alpha and the Amoeba

For fans of other football teams I guess that’s pretty accurate

Shogun Marcus

We got way worse than gb.

American Pie Story

Ever been to Ohio?

The Maestro

How is James Jones so good and yet so shitty, all at the same time?

blackroseMD1

Seriously. Every time I start him in my league, he gets maybe 3 points. I sit him, he ends up scoring twice and going over 100 yards.

What a bastard.

the Alpha and the Amoeba

I dunno, maybe he hates you

If you don’t see something you like in this picture I don’t want to know you.

Herren Doktor,

Moose made me realize that I’d been neglecting our female/non-traditional male audience. For repentance, here is Cool Hand Shirtless.

Doktor Zymm

Fantastic movie too. There are a lot of older movies that have the advantage of excellent plots, acting, writing, and some damn good looking men.

nomonkeyfun

Plus you’ve got the “takin’ ’em off here boss. Putting ’em back on boss” scene.

Then there’s “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner”. In other words the capstone to the greatest year for an actor in history.

nomonkeyfun

“To Sir, With Love” , “”In the Heat of the Night”, and “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” in one year.

Holy fucking shit.

Our child will be the Secretary of State. No, he’ll be President. Thanks Obama.

...

I mean, it’s exciting that a Chiefs wide receiver scored a touchdown and all, but is it really this good?

Infinite Jets

Back during Mad Men-era Corporate America did they refer to all employees in the office “A [number of years with company] Year Man out of [college]” like they still do in pro football?

JustStopDude

The sales people I have to work with are fucking like that.

I actually have to deal with one dude who talks down to me because I got a mechanical engineer degree instead of electrical.

This is the same clown I had to explain the difference between AC and DC drives…

Doktor Zymm

One is air conditioned, and the other is in the District of Columbia, DUH.

JustStopDude

I actually was once sitting in a sales meeting and the dude busts out the joke “And remember JustStopDude…this is electricity not water”….

We were, I shit you not, pricing a fucking water cooled AC drive.

...

Ah yes, sales folk. They’re awesome when they get into management because they legitimately think accomplishing things is just convincing everyone else you did.

JustStopDude

I actually requested a steel mill assignment in Bangladesh to get out dealing with our sales people. I am routinely having to put out their dumpster fires…

blackroseMD1

I saw a Chiefs WR catch a TD and thought that the acid had kicked in.

The unicorn sitting in the corner assures me that it actually happened though.

How appropriate the Chiefs get their first WR touchdown in a near blowout.

Andy Reid’s long con finally paid off.

Col. Duke LaCross

Our long national nightmare is over.

Doktor Zymm

Oh yeah, I forgot Maclin ended up on the Chiefs.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

So did Alex.

Infinite Jets

WITNESSING HISTORY HERE

JustStopDude

Yeah if they actually targeted a wide out, it might actually surprise someone…

ITS OVER! OUR NATIONAL NIGHTMARE IS OVER!

And the game…the game has long been over…

Moonbatting Average

Hypothetical question: Which, if any, team would piss you off even more than the Patriots, were they to go 19-0?

I’m going Cowboys, because I’d have to divorce my wife

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Agreed.

nomonkeyfun

Jets.
Because they and their fans are losers.

JustStopDude

[*Redacted] s…cause fuck Norva, fuck Snyder, and fuck DC proper…

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Norva?

Doktor Zymm

NoVa = North Virginia I assume.

makeitsnowondem

Every team. They’ve all got at least one star younger than I am, so I’d have to hear about it for the rest of my life. At least I’ll live to see the death of every 1972 Dolphin.

Moonbatting Average

You hope 🙂

Doktor Zymm

Yes, absolutely the Cowboys. But I’m actually gonna say the Eagles, just because the Eagles should never win a Super Bowl. The Cowboys have one already, so it wouldn’t quite be as bad. Imagine Eagles fans if their first Super Bowl was also an undefeated season. The Horror….

nomonkeyfun

It would be horrendous, but the youtube videos, gifs, and vines of the celebation would be priceless. Think Phils World Series win, with the meathead quotient that comes with all football fans, including us overeducated DFO’ers.

I hear Alex Smith hasn’t thrown a touchdown pass to a wide receiver since he orchestrated 9/11.

JerryJones-Thugs-N-Harmony

Time for the new daily show, hope it will be good

Doktor Zymm

Someone, somewhere, will write a Chiefs/Dr. Who crossover where Duvernay-Tardif is Duvernay-Tardis

Darkest Timeline Zack Morris

Alex Smith could be the next companion.

Just throw it to Charles KC for all of us that have him in fantasy

It takes Alex Smith 4:53 to do a two-minute drill.

blackroseMD1

Sweet. I cracked 200 fantasy points. Thanks Jamaal.

Watching the other Chiefs derp all over the place is just icing on the cake.

Horatio Cornblower

Well yeah, he got his MD while playing football, but it’s only a Canadian MD.

nomonkeyfun

I know that means, he has to see everyone who walks into his office. He doesn’t even have the right to ask what insurance they carry. They’ve all got Canadian insurance which is worth 15% of American insurance.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh
Doktor Zymm

Appreciated. *Tip of the hat*

Doktor Zymm

I remember when Ray Rice would bail out Flacco by making lots of yards on a checkdown. I hope Jamaal Charles doesn’t hit anyone he’s not supposed to.

JustStopDude

Just make him watch Oceans 11 so he knows not to fucking be stupid enough to pull shit in a goddamn casino.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

It’s getting to the point where I might actually have to start paying attention to the Cubs, if only to avoid drunken baseball mobs when I go out.

Nothing gets me more aroused than all of these check downs

JustStopDude

Someone needs to explain to me how that TD pass is legal since the wide outs are engaging the defenders in blocks before the ball is in the air….

blordinaryfagicmox

contact within 5 yards of the line? But if so, I never understood why DBs dont just tackle the WRs at the line and sit on them. It’s within 5 yards!

nomonkeyfun

Posted that I’d been hired by the CIA on facebook. Me the next morning.

Alex Smith’s MVP season is slipping away from him

He just won’t be able to wrap his hands around that trophy.

It’s 9:49 pm, and I have no idea where my children’s children are!

Even alex smith saw that coming

Doktor Zymm

Between Chicago and Green Bay, how many times do you think Julius Peppers has used some sort of “sausage and peppers” pickup line? I’m not sure where you could work onions into that.

Hey! An Alex Smith pass was caught by someone!

We’re probably not going to see a Rodgers turnover, so I’m not going to have an appropriate time to post this. So, whatever. Pretend time.

They have it as a midnight movie near me. I’ve yet to convince anyone to go.

Me too. I think I’ll just go on my own in the next couple of months. I know that’s sad, but I can’t take my imaginary internet friends with me.
