Here we are again, not-salivating at the thought of another quadruple-header. Ah, who am I kidding-I’ll watch the shit out of this as I wolf down some eggs and crumpets. What are eggs called in the UK? Ova-lickies? Pram dodgers? Rasher friendlies? Eggs? You just never know what those mincing major allies to the US will come up with when given the chance to confuse us with the “English” (hah!) language.
Det “@” KC: Andy Reid will tell you that the finest BBQ in Kansas City, London can be found at The Jubbly Wank, where the near-fresh mutton is smoked for just over 15 minutes using only the finest Guinness after-birth soaked elderberry wood. Oh, you wanted a side with that? Well how ’bout some potatoes? Raw potatoes swimming in a room temperature bath of margarine can’t be beat. Are you not feeling like “Q” today? Well then, you could try a special dish by the name of Eel Wellington. Be sure to dig in while it’s still writhing! Oh right, the game. Given their respective records the Chiefs are twice as good as the Lions yet still worse than at least 18 other teams. Don’t try that at home! Or on the road or in London for that matter. Macklin the knife is back. (look at me, I’m Berman!) It’s Cooter’s turn to weave his offensive magic and get the Lions O out of first gear. Do you know what else is magic?-the disappearance of his 2006 DUI and 2009 aggravated burglary arrest records. Poof! Gone. All that’s left is a booking photo and a hat full of sky.
The elite men are starting to pass wheelchair athletes.
There’s something wrong with that visual.
OK, I’m ready.

My son, just now: “This is bad football”

Sorry, thought it was footballs.
Alex Smith vs. Ziggy Ansah: WHO YA GOT?
Everyone in the world: “Ziggy Ansah!”

My decision to finally bench the Buffalo D and play KC’s this week seems to have been the right one.
And it’ll only get better when Orlovsky starts the second half.
Looking at the fans in London seems like going to an Ice football game in Phoenix. When we go down there we put an over under on how many other teams jerseys we see who arent playing before we enter the JobingGilaRIVERDRAFTKINGS arena.
Charcandrick’s TD celebration is NSFW.
I feel like I should give him $1.
Chiefs just walking away with this…
So, how were all your Halloweens? Lady friend of mine kissed me, so all things considered I had a pretty decent night.
Got drunk with the missus, in bed by 10. Live in a condo so no urchins coming to the door.
All in all a good night.
My wife slept with me.
That’s great hustle!
/Slaps Horatio on the ass, HARD
Emphasis should be understood to be on the word “slept”
Sometimes a good night’s sleep is, well, fantastic.
Holy Fuck. Matthew Stafford is a big fat bag of shit.
Take Tanneyhill they said, he is coming in to his own, take Stafford they said it will be a bounceback year. Fuck them 100 times over.
Where is this game being broadcast?
I just found the New York Marathon on one of the ESPN channels. Nice to know that these guys are maintaining a pace for 26+ miles that I couldn’t maintain for 100 yards.
Fox…or London…I’m actually not sure what you are asking…
I think it’s a Fox game.
Yeah I found it on Fox. I thought all of these London shit-fests were on the NFL Network.
And isn’t the marathon usually on NBC?
It’s on ESPN2 today.

Another 3 points for the Chiefs….
The Lion-o-crats
Alex Smith TD run…
I just saw Smith run for 49 yards. No, really.

So both teams score on their opening drives. Is it me or is that kind of a first for the season…
Its a Lions-Chiefs game but I had to struggle to find a fan wearing one of their shirts/jerseys.
No no no…its PROOF of how popular American Football is in London. So ignore the fact that the players don’t want to be there, the teams don’t want to be there, and pretty much everyone thinks this is a terrible idea except for the front office…just pretend two sold out games a year is proof that the NFL should shove a team there and it will take off.

Classic Carlin: “Why did the cowboy fuck the sheep by the edge of a cliff? So the sheep would push baaaaaack.”
Woo hoo! I’m in a league where I have KC’s defense and I get points for return yards. And I’m playing against KC’s defense in a league where my opponent doesn’t!
Am I a sonofabitch for being so amused by that Chevy commercial where he puts all their phones in a woodchipper?
The only problem I have with that commercial is that he faked it.
Fucking Christmas commercials already?!?
I will add this to my Festivus list.
Field Goal! That is something…

Spoke too soon, I forgot how much God hates me. 2-2
I think we’ve finally discovered where the NFL got those replacement refs from:
?w=1000
In their defense, those refs are paid so little they all have to have full time jobs. The ACC is unwilling to pay for talent and then we all act surprised that the refs suck…
I should also point out that the ACC commissioner played footbaw at and was the AD at U*NC. More corrupt than pro wrestling.
Got to get the morning workout done before the game starts…
Remember to always stretch both before and after workouts…
I…I came here to do something, but for the life of me I can’t seem to remember what it was.
KONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fuck me, I needed Everton to start my day like this, after a shit JV NFL day and Green Bay likely to do bad things to my Donks.
5 minutes to Wopner….I mean, no Maclin for my opponent who’s crushing me from TNF
I still can’t believe Everton got Deulofeu from Barca for almost nothing. He’s fucking amazing.
DEULOFEU MUTHAFUCKAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
/catching up via DVR
I am out for 2 hours, gonna go visit my sister at my moms before she takes off. I told them not to expect me to be up this morning but I can’t turn them down after being up for hours.
How’s the new meth habit??

In my money league, opponent currently has THREE starters in lineup on bye. AND a 55 point lead (Jewkah, P*ts D). AND Maclin still on his bench.
Sweating my nuts off these next 19 minutes. He is NOT a morning person.
Cricket rules are actually incredibly simple.
Bowler (pitcher) is trying to hit the wickets with the ball. He can throw it any way he likes as long as he keeps his elbow straight.
Batter is out if:
Ball hits wickets on a pitch.
Batter blocks path to wickets with anything other than the bat (i.e. leg)
Batter hits ball with bat (even a foul tip) and it is caught before it hits the ground.
Ball strikes wicket when batter is running (and is outside of the safe area) – on the fly or “tagged” by one of the defenders.
You get to bat as long as you want (often swapping places with your partner on the far side) until you are out as described above. Once you’re out, you’re done.
Runs are scored by switching places while the ball is in play – each switch is a run. Balls that go beyond the boundary are worth four on the roll, six on the fly.
We just got a Micheal Irvin bike shorts dick pic. Why is no one else watching this with me?
I gave up on Cricket. Got back to NFL Network in time to see a white guy say something legitimate, but if you stare hard looks like he is saying he likes white players, then backtrack in seconds. I am home.
He was talking shit about Greg Hardy, who deserves it but then mentioned Tony Romo and Witten as team leaders and really looks like it took effort to name not white players after
The UK Cricket commentary has a guy I am almost certain literally has a stick up his ass to make him stand so straight and awkwardly. I still haven’t picked up any of the rules of the game.
Spent yesterday watching all eight Roger Corman Edgar Allan Poe adaptations. Winners: House of Usher, The Raven, Masque of the Red Death, and my appreciation for Vincent Price. Check ’em out if you like your horror less gory.
Basically what I’m saying is that I am ready for some football. ESPECIALLY since it’s the Bills’ bye week.
Roger Corman is a criminally underrated director/producer/writer in American Cinema. The dude was a machine. You knew exactly what you were getting with him. He could make a profit out of any project.
He is has still made the best Fantastic Four Movie.
Roger Corman was was never under-rated by anybody. In addition to never losing a dime on a single picture he made from the 1950’s to the 1990’s, he gave the first start for more top directors than you can count. Roger Corman never won an Oscar in competition, but was given a Lifetime Achievement Oscar in 2009.
A lot of people, especially film reviewers, turn their noses at his work as its seen as formulaic.
Of course it was formulaic. He made “B-Movies” for drive-ins. Every single film was pre-sold so it was already profitable before they even started shooting. Corman hired young and hungry kids like Coppola, Bogdanovich, Cameron, Sayles, Scorsese, Nicholson, Hellman, Towne, and others to work quick and cheap to actually make his already profitable movie. He always tried to make a good movie. All of his Edgar Allen Poe films were made (and often directed by him) because Poe was in the public domain and no royalties were needed to be paid.
No film critic who knew his ass from his/her elbow ever disparaged Roger Corman. He made several hundred films. Were some of his movies shit? Ask him. They always made a profit.
I really can not get past everyone wearing a collared shirt during a sporting event.
I have DirecTV with about a thousand channels. I only usually watch six of them. What channel is “the game” on? Is it a London NFL game on Yahoo?
Fox or Sky Sports 2
I have to flip between this and the Everton/Sunderland game. WOO me!!
Wait this is better than baseball, it has gone at least 10 min without a Bud Light commercial.
Man – how do you people out east wake up this early EVERY DAY?
No Cards in GA so I guess today we’re…Tybee Island? What the hell is that?
For the record, I pick the vacations that go to the beach. That they still up costing about the same amount is the real kicker.
We have kids, then our internal clock gets set and we have no fucking choice. When I visited San Diego, I was up to see the sunrise every morning, a nice treat.
Overall, it sucks monkey ass, though.
The fuck though? You wake up and it’s like HOURS until football. How do you guys not get sidetracked with something better to do with your day?
That is why I watch EPL and/or DVR the late night Pac 12 game. I also read.
I am watching Cricket because it is on before the game. Just as awful as baseball with more golf shirts.
http://i.imgur.com/DqXyrrD.jpg
There is like a 60% chance I am gonna stay up and watch this game. Someone convince me not to.
Hey MTWV,
Do you like single panel cartoons?

I have fallen back on easy options like smoking or all the diet soda I drink to explain away why I get sick, but I spent yesterday feeling like I was gonna have a seizure and my dog had a 30 min one this morning. I am back on team there is a mold or something else that is trying to kill us. My dad has been sick for 5 years now, never had a cold before we moved into this death trap.

Three of my favorite single-panel cartoonists, an art form I have loved and collected since I was a young boy. Yesterday, Halloween, you got a taste of their macabre and genius humor/humour. You will get some more today. It represents but a fraction of their works. If you are the kind of person who loves DFO and all it stands for, you will buy their books. Just look em’ up; I know you have a computer.
But for God’s sake BUY THEIR BOOKS!
