Your Thursday Nighter Open Thread

Min @ Ari: Everything points to this game going the Cards way, doesn’t it? Some fantasy advice I came across on one site stated, “START ALL THE CARDINALS YOU CAN!”. If this was a game of Clue As Foreign Films I’d say, “Arizona/Brando in the empty apartment with a stick of butter”. Maria Schneider, uh, the Vikes look very vulnerable right now. QB Bridgewater can’t throw a TD without an accompanying intercept later on. This year his ratio is 8/8-career-wise he’s 20/20 (ironing?). His counterpart is sporting a “hey national media, come take a look-see” 29/9. Football Outsiders’ take on Teddy cuts right through the lutefisk though-The offensive line is so bad that teams don’t need to rush more than three or four defenders to get quick pressure on the quarterback. I’m sure it’ll get better though. Whoops. That’s a no. The Vikes bread and butter defenders Barr, Joseph and Smith are all out. It’s all on you AP.

as someone who owns him in the Insanity League I can tell you that there’s a better chance of seeing Haley’s Comet twice in your lifetime then getting to say that again.

Just bought Xmas gifts for my kids off of NFL Shop.com. I feel so, so dirty.

Sill Bimmons

You’re a Ravens fan.

Your entire life is so, so dirty.

jjfozz

Don’t call us Ratbirds for nothin’

litre_cola

Make a commercial Fozz. I am sure as a Ravens fan you would just love Bengal babies.

jjfozz

I will stomach a Bengals baby (barely), a Steelers baby would be not allowed in the house, a Patriots baby would be left outside for the wolves, who probably wouldn’t touch the little bugger

Horatio Cornblower

Purple camo I hope.

blaxabbath

Ooooh – what is it?

And why not use RTD’s “Official” jersey guy?

jjfozz

Yanda for the 8 yr old who just finished his first season of football playing line

Kamar Aiken for the 11 yr old who obviously has a great deal of hope for the future

Sill Bimmons

Ray Lewis for you.

That was a pick-6 throw. Lucky for MIN, Bridgewater has no aim.

Has anyone see A Football Life? Just curious what I am in store for when I find a way to access the Arians one.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Are those jerseys supposed to be for a baby? Cause they look like they would fit the woman just fine.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I know we did this a long time ago (worst potential player product endorsements) but I thought of a good one:

Jim Kelly for Doublemint Gum

Horatio Cornblower

Jesus Christ.

jjfozz

Brooks Robinson used to endorse Gulf gasstations in Baltimore. Weird.

blaxabbath

That 200 year old Tom Moore can figure out a Microsoft Surface makes me really pissed that my dad refuses to learn how to use his email.

jjfozz

JJ Watt, pizza grease on your hands is going to make chopping wood very hard

Sill Bimmons

The Vikings are not as good at defense as their etymological counterparts.

Horatio Cornblower

Well those guys believe that the best defense was a good offense and these guys employ Norv Turner.

Sill Bimmons

The actual Vikings did not believe this.

Horatio Cornblower

DON’T RUIN MY NARRATIVE WITH YOUR HISTORICAL FACTS!!!!

Sill Bimmons

BUT THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED REALLY HAPPENED THATS WHY I DONT READ FICTION ANYMORE

bourb0nblues

Fitzy gets how many points for a solid block leading to a TD? Zero, you say?
Fiddlesticks.

hippofant

Safety be all like, “Come on, guys?!”

DEFENSE!

blaxabbath

Did you see Larry block that chump bitch?! Truly a Ridiculous 6 points there!

FLOYDDOWN!!!

Luverne, Minnesota really exists.

Unlike the Texans.

blaxabbath

Is every Halloween gonna be texans stories or will the team change annually?

makeitsnowondem

I don’t even know that we should limit ourselves to team-themed Halloweens. Who knows what horrors the NFL will bring us in the future?

Sill Bimmons

And the “true events” of Fargo.

Seriously, WTF??????????

Horatio Cornblower

I did some poking around. The mob war angle is made-up but there was a UFO incident in 1979 involving a local sheriff.

Sill Bimmons

Shoulda kept the E-T parts to yourself, bro.

NOW THEYRE COMING AFTER YOU

Sill Bimmons
Sill Bimmons

Shut up you douchebag.

Don’t even know how to post an image.

JustStopDude

I’ve worked on those things…fucking terrifying to be in that room when they are operating.

blaxabbath

So MIN is opening up holes between the tackles and getting PA 3+ yards per carry — then they call that?

Are they hosting an OC from Seattle this week?

JustStopDude
jjfozz

In order to be more authentic, that Stella Artois commercial needs way more yelling, arguing, threats, curses, and railing against enemies from 20 years ago.

ThursdaySkyGoddess

So Harvey Keitel really needs money.

blaxabbath

Looked like the trick play was as well drawn up as….the Ridiculous 6.

Redshirt

What…the…fuck…?

Sill Bimmons

White guy tight ends REALLY piss me off because I could have been one if I was 6″–10″ taller.

I’m a big fucking dude. I’m just shorter than Ewoks.

Horatio Cornblower

But twice as adorable.

AP so take a switch to himself.

bourb0nblues

Nice work Vikings. Truly, nice work.

blaxabbath

It is time to target Kyle Rudolph.

makeitsnowondem

The thing that makes Rudolph really difficult to cover is his rare combination of size and reindeer games.

Redshirt

THIS GAME I CALL IT MY LIFE BECAUSE ITS NOT TOO BAD TO BE CONSIDERED A FAILURE BUT ITS NOT TOO GREAT TO BE CONSIDERED A SUCCESS!!!!

Horatio Cornblower

Hey, a Matt Asiata reference! That’s gotta be worth 5 points in Sill’s Insanity League right?

Sill Bimmons

At minimum.

blaxabbath

December football is when Rudolph glows so bright!

hippofant

Running out of shotgun with 3 WR versus an 8-man front. Why, Zimmer, why?

Redshirt

He came from the Bengals. You knew what you were getting.

If Pheel ever suffered a stroke mid game, would we notice?

blaxabbath

Lot of Gayle Sayers references tonight.

Horatio Cornblower

Once again not enough about Brian Piccolo.

blaxabbath

It’s because the roof is open.

Fucking University of Phoenix.

litre_cola

DeVry all the way!

blaxabbath

Shouldn’t the TNF commercial for the Rams have them represented by the mayor of LA?

Hard to believe Stone Temple Pilots are still going to headline the Super Bowl after everything that’s happened.

At the record company meeting on their hands at last a dead star

Visit Pepsi.com and learn to not only hate the Superbowl…but all of humanity!

Coldplay and Pepsi are perfect together, because they both suck.

Okay, these Tivo commercials is making me uncomfortable.

Sill Bimmons

So, seriously.

While we’re at halftime here.

WTF happened at the end of the last episode of Fargo?

They had been kinda sorta building to it, but holy FUCKBALLS that was unexpected.

Horatio Cornblower

It had been foreshadowed in Season 1 when Solverson is telling someone, I think the daughter, about the slaughter in Sioux City with “bodies stacked to the second floor” or something like that.

Still, damn, they cleaned out half the cast in that scene.

Sill Bimmons

That wasn’t what I was referring to.

King Hippo

Had to love MM’s “OK, then”

Horatio Cornblower

Line of the night.

litre_cola

Filmed about 50 km west of here, but unless we pay a fucking ransom we don’t get Fx.

Sill Bimmons

There was something else…something unnatural…

makeitsnowondem

Does Phil know the clock rules at all?

Sill Bimmons

Phil gets up at 10, Phil goes to bed at 10.

Every day except football day.

Those are Phil’s clock rules.

King Hippo

without remembering what this exactly referred to, I’m quite confident the answer is “no”

King Hippo

Getting ready to try one of them Sierra Nevada Celebration IPAs you whippersnappers been goin’ on about.

Sill Bimmons

That was somehow very competitive and very boring at the same time.
