Your Sunday Night NFC West Sizzler Open Thread

Ari @ Sea: Not sure about this one. The Seahawks have been scratching out wins (and losses) by low single digits. The Cards have beaten the teams they were supposed to but lost to the Steelers and Rams. Palmer is insane inside the red zone to the tune of 16 TD’s and no intercepts. On the other hand, Russell has been sacked a CTE-inducing 31 times so far this year. Which team is for not-real? Let’s watch and see. And if you could, beer me.

I can’t watch an ambulance come onto the field without expecting it to mow down like six players.

blackroseMD1

In my head, the Tecmo Bowl ambulance just came out and ran over everyone. 8-bit brutality all over the field.

Not only NSFW, but not safe at all:

Chancellor showing why should have gotten a new contract.

blaxabbath

Edelmen with broken foot.

A small consolation for NFL fans.

Why do they always act all surprised “and the bullet is still in him, in fact!”? It’s not like the bullet is still traveling around, tearing up his body.

Lothar of the Hill People

Because it’s usually the idea to remove the bullet. Even if it’s fully-jacketed, that’s a wad of metal that can move around and impinge on nerves, blood vessels, muscles/tendons, etc.

If the jacket got scored in-flight, or if the round wasn’t jacketed (hollow-point, hydroshock, black talon, etc.), then that’s exposed lead that can get into the bloodstream and have adverse effects.

So yeah, it’s unusual for an intact bullet to be left in someone.

blaxabbath

Interesting. I just hear about all these guys from Vietnam or wherever who still have shrapnel in them like 30 years later. But the potential for it to move makes a lot of sense.

Lothar of the Hill People

Shrapnel = steel (in most cases)

Lead is really problematic, because even when a capsule forms around the foreign body, lead will get through the capsule and into the body.

So if CJ has a bullet in him, it’s gotta be intact. If it’s a 9mm, that’s a sizable chunk of metal, and I can’t imagine how it’s not impinging on a muscle or the joint or a nerve at the very least.

This is weird. It sounds like it went in at an angle and ended up in his trap around his shoulder blade.

Dunno why they’d leave it in there, unless it meant cutting into the muscle near the attachment point, which would potentially limit his use of that arm. But it wouldn’t be hard to get to.

Lothar of the Hill People

Youpotty down on the turf? That sounds like something my 2 year-old (potty training) son would say.

Sorry, Allison. Emily is better.

You are wrong on everything

Lothar of the Hill People

Oh, don’t get me wrong. Allison is mighty, mighty fine.

But Emily is nuclear levels of hotness.

Plus, we’ve all seen her funbags.

“So tonight, you can expect a warm front bubbling up from the south, which will bring drizzle and mist to the Seattle area. If you’re over near CenturyLink Field, expect a heavy amount of smarminess, with gusts of assholery throughout the night.”

No wonder Sherman has his balaclava on.

At least NBC has saved money reusing the “Seahawks are elite” copy.

Lothar of the Hill People

Thanks to @RecoveryWater, I was able to save 5 points on that endzone fumble!

There, Russ. I wrote your next tweet for you.

Lothar of the Hill People

So this “Superstore” show. I have low expectations. It is a topic ripe for the picking. There are a number of ways to make a very good show. Dark, insightful comedy. “Office” type spoof. Traditional sitcom with stupid one-liners? Not very promising.

blackroseMD1

Looks like “Chuck” without the spy stuff…so yeah, probably terrible.

blaxabbath

Look at how quick Wilson is! He really jumped on that ball for the safety!

Lexus trying to do performance sedans is like Mayim Bialik trying to be a porn star.

Sure the refs are on the phone with the officials in NYC to figure out how to overturn this?

Is there a bump into the lineman tuck rule?

Followed by 25 year-old Alice In Chains cutting edge Seattle sound outro.

other than coffee what else do they have going for themselves? certainly not a football team

I read that out loud. My wife said “Screw you, Fozz!”

The funny part was that I hadn’t told her which Commentist had written it.

blaxabbath

“What does Mathieu consider himself? Well, a cornerback! Which is funny, Al, because he plays corner!”

The Maestro

Wait, the Seahawks have ANOTHER guy named Lockett? I thought that guy died against the Cowboys.

Hey…this is pretty damn good – thanks!

What’s so interesting about Chicago that all of it’s first responders get shows?

blackroseMD1

I’m assuming it’s because Chicago’s air is 99% bullets, 1% actual air, so they’ll never run out of stories to put on TV.

indieguy

new york is to gentrified for any realistic crime besides first responder abuse to occur?

At least they make some things that are beneficial to society.

I had to find this one again, and it was in my bookmarks for years. No one cares. We try.

Is it actually cold in Seattle? It was 60 in mid-Michigan today.

I support this sentiment.

I have no counterpoint to this.
Perhaps it is because I root for the same shit spewing team.

1) The NFL is a league with little to no integrity.
2) The NFC West is pretty much the only interesting division race left.

But none of this has me wondering where these refs are coming up with their calls.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

That last call was good.

The previous two? Ehhhhhh….

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Nobody cares about the NFC West enough to care to rig it.
