Your Very First Monday Afternoon Open Thread

What’s on your mind? Me? Jackson Browne’s “Running On Empty” has been on my brain for the last two weeks. I sure as hell am not going to tell you that it’s the song of all songs-it’s just there. Every day. It is god damn relentless. If someone could distract me while I attempt to watch an entire Blue Jays game for the first time in 25 years, that would be great. Seriously, what are you up to?

A female referee making a crucial call on a fumble?

Oh tomorrow’s talk radio, I already want you dead.

JustStopDude

“Look I’m not sexist…I just don’t understand how you can trust something that bleeds for 7 days and doesn’t die”

Sill Bimmons

SHARKNADO WOO

Romonobyl

Here comes Phillip “every sperm is sacred” Rivers.

Horatio Cornblower

Listening to Keith Hernandez is enough to make me want to kill kittens.

JustStopDude

But his dyed black hair looks so natural….

King Hippo

Really? I think he’s fucking hilarious, once you get past the accent.

Horatio Cornblower

I think he’s a smug pretentious piece of shit.

One of us has to be right.

King Hippo

Those aren;t necessarily mutually exclusive. He’s definitely an asshole. I just find more harmless in that he’s like a drunk asshole who says whatever pops into his head.

nomonkeyfun

How dare you insult that coke snorting, sexist man.

Romonobyl

NFL 2015…Year of the Practice Squad.

entropy

The League Minimum Season.

Gratliff

Luke Harper should be murdering Reigns on the regular.

Gratliff

Whoops. Live threads are a-crossin’

WCS

Don’t cross the steams.

JustStopDude

I always liked Steve Spurrier. I mean he is as dirty as fuck as the rest of the SEC…but he wasn’t like “I have to stomp puppies to death to maintain an erection” obvious about it like say Nick Saban.

Plus he headed up the Skins flaming out for a while. I pity anyone that has had to deal with Snyder.

King Hippo

Plus he never tried to pretend he was holier than thou. I respected the hell out of the dude. A true showman.

nomonkeyfun

How can you not like a guy who runs an offense he calls Fun ‘N Gun.

JustStopDude

My favorite was when his wife got in trouble with the NCAA because every year, she would send out a personalized card from him and her wishing the family of the kids on the team a Merry Christmas.

Apparently that is against the NCAA rules for the wife of a coach to send a Christmas card to the family of incoming freshman.

entropy

I do miss drinking in OB, San Diego. Damn that was always fun.

Horatio Cornblower

You know what else is fun in San Diego?

That may be the only scene in that movie that made me laugh.

Spur

Berman sounds like a drunk mall Santa.

jjfozz

Men who like Chris Berman think Old Spice is a completely legitimate after shave.

I just had to manually approve two different boner pill jokes because the site thought they were spam. What a country!

Romonobyl

Boner meant something waaaay different back then.

Oh, I get it! Because Ted Nugent did “Cat Scratch Fever” and Mike Nugent has the same surname.

Mother Puncher

You guys remember that Bengals game?

Redshirt

I’m still convinced I dreamed it.

Badger

Why you gotta do me like that Jamaal Charles?

Horatio Cornblower

Pretty happy I drafted Knile Davis and stuck him on my bench.

Old School Zero

Mike McCoy is dumber than an orgy with only two straight men attending.

Spur

Spurrier should replace Corso on College Gameday

King Hippo

I wish I could upvote this 100 times.

Horatio Cornblower

So should Hitler.

Horatio Cornblower

Mets are concerned about Harvey’s mounting pitch count, which is now at 69.

Nice.

jjfozz

Things I will do on Sundays now that the Ravens’ season is over:

1. Find out if that third kid in the house is mine.
2. Start thinking about how to celebrate my wedding anniversary that’s coming up soon. I think.
3. Complete plans to skin Berman alive, use his hide to create authentic Sioux longhouse.
4. Think about converting to Judaism to avoid having to go to mass every Sunday.
5. Purchase season tickets to Baltimore’s indoor soccer team, Baltimore Blast.

Redshirt

You’ll enjoy it. Autumn is awesome!

JustStopDude

Honestly…I kind of like having the Ravens out of it early as I give less of a shit about particular games and can take in the entire league more.

Horatio Cornblower

One thing I love about play-off baseball is that there is now absolutely no reason to listen to Berman bumblefuck his way through the half-time show.

King Hippo

I am boycotting teh el beisbol, but I mute teh teevee box anyway, and just listen to depressing music.

Mother Puncher

He’s No Novak

Sharkbait

Fuck you berman. Some of us had to work today.

Dunstan

Berman! Run away!

All hail Mike “I’m too old for this shit” Vick.

WCS

Starring Ronald “Mac” McDonald as Roger Murtaugh as Mike Vick!

entropy

I’ll take being half right.

Redshirt

Really, Steelers? You didn’t think about putting your fastest returner back there to catch the short field goal and outrun the slow Field Goal blockers.

makeitsnowondem

love too see stupid-ass 60-yarders

Horatio Cornblower

Rivers has knocked his wife up from 60 yards before, so he’s understandably pissed that the kicker can’t make a stupid FG from that distance.

JerryJones-Thugs-N-Harmony

The Rex Grossman situation

Brick Meathook
Romonobyl

That’s not the Halloween Whopper.

Sill Bimmons

That’s ridiculous.

Everybody knows Jesus was a gyro guy.

entropy

Come on pick six……

Romonobyl

Half right.

Romonobyl

yay blue team….(meh from a disgruntled Cowboys fan).

makeitsnowondem

Mike McCoy is just fucking with his kicker now.

Sill Bimmons

THIS GUY PHILIP RIVERS I CALL HIM THE LAST THURSDAY IN NOVEMBER BECAUSE EVERY DAY IS A PARADE OF FLOATS

Spur

The light skinned Hispanic hit a homerun. 6-3 Mets. Still no fight. I wonder if BabaBooey is at the game.

Horatio Cornblower

Gruden is constantly amazed at how QBs throw the ball before the receiver turns around. It’s like he’s witnessing the discovery of fire every damn time.

entropy

Does anyone else want Gruden to coach again, and flame out miserably, just so people stop listening to him?

Sharkbait

Absolutely.

Romonobyl

Woodhead as a bolt…whodathunkit.

JerryJones-Thugs-N-Harmony

Float time

Real conversation that just happened.

Dad: “Who’s playing?”
Me: “Steelers and Chargers.”
Dad: “Who’s the QB?”
Me: “Vick.”
Dad: “Really?! I gotta watch that. How is he?”
Me: “Eh…”
Dad: “Oh.”

Quick father-son conversations are more accurate than the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Scouting Dept.

Spur

Chip Kelly to USC or back to Oregon
Jim Tressel to Maryland

Horatio Cornblower

Randy Edsall back to UCONN!

We can pay him in mac n’ cheese. I hear it’s worth going to jail for.

entropy

So, Tomlin wants the ball back with 28 seconds, and Mike Vick at the helm? He deserves the inevitable pick six.

Horatio Cornblower

We want the ball back and we’re gonna score!

Mother Puncher

Thank god EA finally nerfed Vick this year. Makes the game a lot more balanced.

Romonobyl

I wonder what Teh Ben is actually listening to on those headphones.

WCS

Slipknot and Veggie Tales.

Dunstan

Ben not understand how talky man get inside earmuffs.

JerryJones-Thugs-N-Harmony

Nickleback

Redshirt

I would say “My Little Pony”, but the thought of Big Ben at a BronyCon just fills me with terror.

Sill Bimmons

fuuu

entropy

For fuck’s sake, how do you not get to the line of scrimmage on time?!

Dunstan

Interestingly, Philip Rivers also once had an imaginary girlfriend. He still managed to impregnate her.

WCS

Five times.
