Da hudder tread is hup.

Gratliff

Someone in the NFL Gameday studio brought in a LOT of coke.

Looking at you, Michael.

King Hippo

Rule #1 of party hosting – you can NEVAR bring too much coke.

Doktor Zymm

I assume the commentists who are currently located in DC will help keep this local tradition alive..

Gratliff

The “Truck Stop Manager Going to a Meeting” look is really enhanced next to Irvin’s Megachurch Pastor suit.

King Hippo

Off-topic, but congrats to any of you living in Louisiana for not having to suffer through Diaper Dave as guvnor.

King Hippo

The answer was not “raging alcoholism with a dash of gambling problem thrown in.” I am disappoint.

King Hippo

Also, can we make people stop saying “an historic” upon pain of catapault? Hugs and kisses, Hippo.

Doktor Zymm

I actually had a grammar discussion about when to use “an” vs “a” at work recently.

Gratliff

Not using “an” before a hard H is the hill I’m going to die on, regardless of how English English pronounces it. In fact, the silent H in front of English words needs to go away entirely.

King Hippo

Maybe the Brits use it because they pronounce the word “istoric?”

Otherwise, I’m dyin’ on that fucking hill, too. Seems like this distinction was totes easy for everyone to keep straight until like 10-15 years ago.

laserguru

I am willing to accept this law since you are an honorable man.

Gratliff

Rob Ryan with impressive coach-to-analyst time.

Gratliff

Holy shit, he just tried to mimic Cam Newon’s TD celebration and it looked like a flasher in a trenchcoat. It’s exactly what I expected.

Gratliff

Jesus. He’s making Katrina jokes on NFL Network. How is there not a Rob Ryan liveblog right now?

Gratliff

And they’re openly mocking a wired-jaw Kurt Warner. Is this heaven?

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

I miss the punk-rock sports highlight shows. NHL2Night was my favorite, but now that these leagues have their own networks it’s all sterile.

If Rob Ryan wants to buck the trend though, I’m more than happy to see him do it.

Gratliff

I keep expecting him to pull a bottle of Wild Turkey out between sentences.

ballsofsteelandfury

Rob Ryan needs to be on TV. Do something, Congress!

ballsofsteelandfury

Oh kids! Have I got a mid-week special AFL offseason report for you!

Imagine if soccer had dirty sloppy sex in a dark alley with Australian Rules footy. I will show you the happy result, coming this week!

blaxabbath

Actually kind of interested in WAS/CAR. In fact, anything that isn’t the normal DEN/GB/NE/DAL that I have forced on me seems worthwhile.

Who am I kidding? Another week of no non-ARI football.

scotchnaut

When are you goobers gonna move up to The Canada? Without a special cable package I’ve got access to 4 games (usually 5). Also, the story of a woman who wants to restore a dilapidated lodge where her family once spent the holidays while she was growing up (Christmas Lodge), is on.

[returns to writing up open thread]

blaxabbath

Wait – this isnt the open thread?

scotchnaut

It’s coming! It’s coming!

ballsofsteelandfury

Plus, you get the Hallmark Channel!

Honestly, if it wasn’t for your country’s alcohol policies and the cold, I’d seriously consider living in The Canada. Go global warming!

King Hippo

Is one of them CHI/DEN? Do you also get teh RedZone? How is your Premier League coverage?

scotchnaut

I’m getting chi/den. RedZone must be purchased and they show every EPL game on The Sports Network. Whoop!

King Hippo

As long as it can be purchased. SIGN ME UP!! Codeine over the counter is the clincher. This is where I shall retire.

Too damn cold out to walk the 3 blocks to yoga. I guess I won’t be doing anything healthy today.

blaxabbath

You could drink wine.

ballsofsteelandfury

Is it hot yoga? If so, I could see that as a recipe for getting sick. (Cold, heat, cold)

Drink a beer instead.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I am pretty disgusted with myself for planning to go to a bar later to watch the Bears lose to Brock Osweiler.

King Hippo

Also FACK YOU, CBS, for not having the Bears/Donks tendril snake into NC. Nobody gives two shits about the goddamned Falcons here.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

At least it’s not DC where the R*****ns means get NOTHING else on Fox. Boooooooooo

King Hippo

I just watch Red Zone like usual. Not in the mood for a bar day, Brock will make me drink WAAAAYYYYY more than is healthy.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

If I watch Red Zone, I won’t catch very much of the Bears’ offense.

King Hippo

Carl finally takes on teh dead PeyPey. Sad Hippo.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Once again, the LA market is treated to another meaningless Chargers game (which I actually think they will win).

ballsofsteelandfury

Andrew Siciliano and I have no idea what you’re talking about.

laserguru

I think so too.
I’ve got the Chargers as one end of a two teamer. Also going against the grain and taking my own boys to win.
