Your Sunday Night Open Thread

Ind @ Pit: Is there anyone that didn’t think that The Ben wouldn’t just shake off a concussion? Sure he’ll be an absolute wreck at 45 but the time is now. Former starting QB, then cheque-collecting backup, now starting QB Hasselbeck has acquitted himself quite well. Indy’s quite happy that they ran out of Luck. This tilt has the makings of a back and forth ‘defences don’t know what the hell is going on’ tilt. Let us hope so. TO THE GAME!

No, kickerfail.

Does Pey Pey use a different software program to run that light show?

Sharkbait

He uses Linux to run the lights.

Senor Weaselo

Currently watching the Frank Sinatra special. Well, the songs are good. And I guess some of the performances are okay too.

Sharkbait

Are they murdering his songs like I assume they are?

Senor Weaselo

A couple haven’t been murdered!

jjfozz

If I watched that special, I would be haunted by my grandparents, and their brothers and sisters, and their cousins, and aunts and uncles, and neighbors, and their pets.

ThursdaySkyGoddess

I’m recording it, so I’ll give it a shot this week. I’m supplementing it with actual Sinatra concerts being aired on TCM.

“The Father Son Challenge”

True story, the last time my father hit me was when we were playing golf about 15 years ago. I was 30 and he was about 65. I fucked up a shot and said, “Fuck this game, this is shit, I’m going to get wasted.”

So he punched me on the arm, he’s a lefty and is quick as shit – weird since he’s built like a bull and goes about 5’6″.

“Shut up and finish the game, stop being a pussy.”

Good times.

theeWeeBabySeamus

That is kind of a coincidence.

My father, who was quite meek most of the time, coached me in football and basketball when I was a kid. One particular cold snowy football game day in December in central Maryland, I got a hip pointer that stung like a bitch. Couldn’t feel my foot. I limped off the field crying.

“Shut up and finish the game, stop being a pussy.”

jjfozz

I think that, at some point in life, every father says that to his son.

theeWeeBabySeamus

What’s scary is that I recently, for the first time, heard my mother drop and F-bomb. And now that she’s broken that little barrier, she drops them all the time.

It’s quite unsettling sometimes, yet also kinda cool.

jjfozz

My mom began cursing about 10 years ago, she’s gotten quite good at it, especially when she says to me, “What the fuck is going on with your kids?”

theeWeeBabySeamus

LMFAO

Old School Zero

Trainer: “What hurts, Matt?”

Hasselbeck: “I think it’s going to snow.”

Trainer: “Sounds like his hip.”

Hasselbeck: “Wait, hold on, looks like we’ll get early fog and drizzle, followed by sun.”

Trainer: “Shit.”

Coach: “What? What’s that mean?”

Trainer: “Still his hip, but I left my convertible top down.”

ssi_bulldawg

Well done!

Old School Zero

I’m trying for the banner quote. This will fit, right?

So when will Luck’s bloodletting treatments get him back on the field?

blackroseMD1

Is it Clipboard Jesus time?!?

Old School Zero

UNLEASH THE CLIPBOARD JESUS!

King Hippo

HE DERPED FOAR UR SINS

jjfozz

Remember when the Patriots dropped consecutive games? It seems like it just happened a few hours ago.

Old School Zero

Man, good times. Good freakin’ times.

Senor Weaselo

Good times.

Remember when the Patriots dropped THREE consecutive games? Pats fans don’t.

Romonobyl

Some things you never forget, like you’re first orgasm that had another real person involved somehow.

Old School Zero

I saw these in action while driving around yesterday, and for the lazy decorators among us, it’s actually not the worst solution. The effect is actually pretty neat.

Senor Weaselo

One of the houses near me had that up for what I assume was Diwali and have just kept them up for Christmas. It looks like a whole bunch of lazer pointers.

Bloody Lethal

Clemson really splooged some nasty receivers into the NFL these past couple years.

jjfozz

Best Buy’s last gasp . . .

Sharkbait

Martavisdown means I make the playoffs!!

/at the expense of the fiancee.

//who is also a giants fan.

///Guess who is sleeping on the couch tonight

Bloody Lethal

Clemson really splooged some nasty receivers into the NFL these past couple years.

Damn Colts, how are they above .500 at this point.

Old School Zero

I got to see the Patriots lose and the Panthers win today (I see no reason to talk about the Chargers). There’s really no need to watch this game any longer, right? I should just play some video games and turn in early tonight, right?

blackroseMD1

That’s my plan.

Well, the video games part anyway. Turning in early…not so much.

ThursdaySkyGoddess

MARTAVISDOOWWNNNNNNN!!!!!!

Well Cris, that’s because you’re a coward.

Exactly what went through my head when he said that.

jjfozz

THIS CRIS COLLINSWORTH, I CALL HIM SHAG, BECAUSE HE LAYS DOWN LIKE A RUG WHENEVER DANGER IS AROUND

jjfozz

If I knock my wife up again, I’m naming the kid Mugsy.

Mugsy Fozz – that’s got a nice ring to it.

theeWeeBabySeamus

This truly made me laugh.
But yeah…I like it.

King Hippo

I drank a MexiCoke so I could stay awake for this game. I make really poor life choices.

Sharkbait

Drank or snorted? Mexicoke has a couple different meanings

King Hippo

I am soooooo jelly of those who have the snort option still.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Was never a big fan.

Recovery Whiskey

Hasselbeck really isn’t able to throw more than about 30 yards. This games about done

blordinaryfagicmox

I have it muted, but I assume Costas is going on about missed kicks. I also assume he is using some basic stats like percentage of missed PATs this year compared to last year. That’s great since it is all the majority of the viewing public will understand, but I want to see some stats on how many of these missed PATs actually affected the outcome of the game. Do more misses happen in the 4th quarter now? Are there more touchdowns scored this season? Is kicking percentage in general down this year? How does 30-35 yard fg percentage compare to extra point percentage? Why am I so alone?

King Hippo

We are all alone, only some of us are aware of it is all.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Suddenly I am very depressed and don’t care who killed Jesus.
Fucker probably brought it on himself anyway.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Render unto Caesar my fucking ass!!!
You knew what you were saying you passive aggressive fuck.

Senor Weaselo

Because, blord, you want, and deserve, the hand-holding, someone caring about you in that way stuff. I don’t see myself being that person right now, and I’m sorry.

/May have been quoting someone else

Romonobyl

I don’t think I’d ever want to be around a drunk, angry, armed Ray Liotta.

His Right Honorable Lord Lordship the Lordly

So you don’t want to be around Ray Liotta ever?

Old School Zero

Better still than Joe Pesci.

Romonobyl

Good point.

theeWeeBabySeamus

What? No love for a righty batting shoeless Joe Jackson?

Col. Duke LaCross

I watched “Something Wild” for the first time in about twenty years the other night. Liotta’s character in that was up there with Hopper in “Blue Velvet” as far as menacing motherfuckers go.

blaxabbath

Yeah – I’m sure that bitch wanted to get married in an empty college football stadium.

blaxabbath

WTF did happen to MIN today?

Recovery Whiskey

AP 18 yards on 10 tries.

Romonobyl

‘Refused to go down.” Welcome to married life.

ballsofsteelandfury

Someone is angling for a banner quote!

Romonobyl

Ohpleaseohpleaseohplease!!!! My life needs qualification.

Holy fuck Falcons

Sharkbait

The one bright spot of the Pats losing was a Giants fan at the bar being asked to leave after getting in the face of other Pats fans during Philly scores.

He didn’t realize that rooting for the Eagles actually worked against the Giants.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Shit…now they’re saying it was Richard Kuklinski killed Jesus.
I guess he had gambling debts or some shit.

Dammit…these assholes don’t know. They’re stringing me along. Next thing ya know…Jesus was a soph coed at FSU and it was Ted Bundy.

Fucking assholes. I’m gonna watch Ancient Aliens.

Senor Weaselo

“Next on Ancient Aliens: Was Jesus an alien or was he killed by them? Yes!”

Which cable TV network has diluted itself the most from its original purpose: History Channel or TLC?

Romonobyl

They both are today’s MTV.

theeWeeBabySeamus

The best part is when they can’t pronounce “extra-terrestrials”.

jjfozz

“Dennis Miller was funny.”

Al’s gotten into the mescal again.

Sill Bimmons

Dennis Miller was funny, just not on MNF and not after 9/11 broke his brain.

Romonobyl

I agree. I liked his initial snarky-ness, then he went all Victoria Jackson.

A Dan Fouts comparison: so Ben will be a gibbering idiot in the calling games in the booth in 30 years, right?

Senor Weaselo

No, he’ll be THE gibbering idiot calling games in the booth in 30 years. Or it’ll be commentator-bots. Could go either way.

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.

Goddamnit, they’ll probably use Pheeeel and Cris as the A.I. neurotemplates, won’t they?

ThursdaySkyGoddess

I would have thought Peyton would have had that record.

jjfozz

Of course Ben’s on fire and accurate, he’s seeing two receivers at the same time

Recovery Whiskey

Indy looks done by halftime

ThursdaySkyGoddess

WHEATONDOWN!!!!!!

That guy who bought a car with a loan from Navy Federal Credit Union has some serious PTSD.

He’s going to kill his son one night and wake up not even remembering to have done it.

jjfozz

Gonna kill him with the sharp end of an ice cream cone

King Hippo

But it will be ok, because Cris thanked him for his service, and a pat on the head is all our veterans really want or need!

blaxabbath

As a veteran, I think I speak for all homeless people when I say, “Chris, don’t touch my head.”

theeWeeBabySeamus

I just hope Baylor gets at least one QB back before Dec 29.
I want to see the Tarheels humbled.

blaxabbath

So many turnovers.

SNF is a quality product.

King Hippo

I still think those fumble pile-ups should be decided based on who better sells that they, in fact, DO have the ball.

blaxabbath

Bring back yanking players off the pile by the legs!

Sharkbait

I still hate everything.

The Maestro

Me too.

jjfozz

OWAH PAIN HAS NEVAH BEEN GREATAH!

Sill Bimmons

CUT THAT FUCK

blaxabbath

Can you cut someone at the half?

That should be Tomlin to that dude.

Senor Weaselo

I read that as “can you cut someone in half” and I still think it would suffice.

ThursdaySkyGoddess

Who put Vaseline on the footballs?

Romonobyl

Is it me or has the movie / durable goods commercial tie-ins gotten a little out of hand?

Senor Weaselo

Yes.

Sill Bimmons

New game: do an unnecessary tie in:

The Reveant: Slim Jim beef jerky.

Senor Weaselo

Kashi: Call of Duty Edition

Hateful 8: Snuggies.

theeWeeBabySeamus

That nekkid feller is gonna set a new course record, Jim.
Yeah, but his balls are hanging out.

Sill Bimmons

Fleener is softer than the Charmin.

Romonobyl

I wonder what’s on Hasselbeck’s wristband? Probably a list of maintenance prescriptions and food allergies.

blackroseMD1

And on Ben’s? “If lost, please return to the Pittsburgh Steelers” on one side. On the other, roofie colada recipe.

King Hippo

and many HARFs

jjfozz

Tom Matte’s wristband shown, pardon me while I genuflect in front of my television

theeWeeBabySeamus

Solemness granted.
Most of these whippersnappers don’t know who da fuq Tom Matte is.

Get off my lawn, assholes.
