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.

Just like AP, you beat me on this one.

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

“IN CASE OF TNF OVERTIME, BREAK GLASS OVER HEAD”

blaxabbath

Not fudamental tackling there

King Hippo

Who’ll be a witness for our Lord?

Yeah FB goes for 20+ yards to convert a 1st down.

blaxabbath

I hope Cardinals darth vader can be the main image for SNF next week.

Sill Bimmons

FUCKIN UFO

Sill Bimmons

uh what

entropy

I honestly have no idea where that plot element is going this season.

Sill Bimmons

what dafuq

Recovery Whiskey

So watching AP last week and this, hard to see how he has so many yards elsewhere

entropy

That would have been a face mask in Green Bay.

Recovery Whiskey

Yeop

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

What about in Wichita?

makeitsnowondem

Wallace just used up his one allocated big play for this season.

blaxabbath

Holy fucking hell Cards. Why blitz that and leave the under route wide open?

entropy

That might be the first wrist-slap tackle I have ever seen.

jjfozz

Wow, first time the refs missed a call all season

King Hippo

Tie the game, then end on Canyonero FG

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

What is the spread on this game? Asking so I can mock a friend

King Hippo

8.5

Hehe. Fucker took the Buzzsaw

blaxabbath

Wow — great 15 yarder after the Palmer facemask no-call.

makeitsnowondem

This game is proof of our country’s desperate need for funding to repair our crumbling roads and Bridgewaters.

blaxabbath

We just drafted it!

jjfozz

How do you post gifs in this motherfucker?

Sill Bimmons

if it doesn’t end in .jpg or .gif you can post.

Bridgewater has no arm.

makeitsnowondem

Peterson is so much better than Diggs he’s probably covering someone else offscreen.

blaxabbath

Generous spot there (elbow down)

I feel like I look like that far more often than is probably good for me.

Sill Bimmons

Is there a place in our society for an idiot from either of these societies to be forgiven their idiocy?

I am asking the voices in my head whether to have a 2nd Sierra Nevada Celebration

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

I’d switch to something harder, but that’s me

King Hippo

I don’t want to be too hungover for the orthopedist in the morning, he might not give me more v-profen!

blaxabbath

Are those whisky stones a good gift? The ones that don’t melt so blah blah blah?

Just as a stocking stuffer…for myself.

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

Yes, but they don’t sub for ice- it’s more like a subtle chill.

I like the granite ones over the soapstone you normally find- stay cold longer

Why are all the bird team logos so angry, why can’t one of them be just bemused.

JustStopDude

There are a lot of things I don’t get…like this tattoo…

jjfozz

Ravens logo for the rest of this season will be shedding tears

See, I feel like Rowdy the Raven or whatever isn’t angry- more like overcome with ennui at the pointless struggle that is life in Bawlmore.

jjfozz

Well it’s not exactly pointless, you have choices.

Like you can decide to sell drugs, or rob drug dealers, or shoot drug dealers in the face, or steal cars.

Or riot, when the weather gets nice.

entropy

A man’s got to have a code.

Recovery Whiskey

Angry Birds, dur

blaxabbath

Why Asiata at all? He can’t even manhandle 5’9″ Honey Badger?

Sill Bimmons

HES JUST CHEESE

makeitsnowondem

Asiata’s a hard-nosed old-school back who plays the game the way it was always meant to be played. You’ll never see Asiata running for less than a yard, or for more than three yards.

Sill Bimmons

People want his best parts to be carved off or shredded.

Fucking insane!

Sill Bimmons

Mike Wallace.

Has there ever been an NFL player with more potential and less return on that than Mike Wallace?

NOAP:

I think I am going to crash out soon. Since the holidays is coming up, I need to prep for the trip back home to visit family. One of the things is to get my car detailed…and I got an appointment first thing…

Gonna get my monies worth…

entropy

Lookit Mr Fancy and all his empty Trader Joe’s Piss Cups….

Col. Duke LaCross

That is a lot of bird shit.

entropy

Oh yeah, since we’re all fans of Alison Brie here, I have to mention I watched 2/3rds of “Sleeping with Other People” today. If you can get past the overall smarmy bullshit of Jason Sudeikis playing Jason Sudeikis AGAIN, it is so far worth watching just for Ms. Brie’s natural….. charm, as it were. If and when I make it through the rest, I’ll let you know how it all shakes out, but the first hour is definitely worth seeing just for her,

blaxabbath

I like jason sudeikis

entropy

I don’t mind him, but he’s like Michael Cera to me at this point: he doesn’t act, he just plays a version of himself on camera, again and again. If someone would make him act for a change, I might be willing to give him more credit.

jjfozz

Make sure you have enough tissue paper for when it “shakes out”

entropy

It was all I asked for for Christmas last year. Had to make sure I didn’t run out, Y’know?

jjfozz

Yes, I want to see the new Star Wars movie.

No, I’m not obsessed with it.

Yes, I want to rabbit punch all the fucking dorks who yammer about it constantly and are already in line.

No, I don’t care that it’s Christmas and you shouldn’t be rabbit punching people in public.

entropy

I must disagree with your fourth point: it is ALWAYS time to rabbit punch people, whether in public at Christmas time or not.

makeitsnowondem

If we can’t rabbit punch people at Christmastime, the atheists have already won the war on Christmas.

King Hippo

Hey, the fucking ERs are open, let the motherfuckers EARN their double time pay.

blaxabbath

Seriously — people getting excited about shit just because other people tell them to get excited about it.

I’ll go once the crowds/theater shootings die down.

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

We got tickets for Friday night, with two important conditions:

1. They are pre-assigned seats so no goddamned lines, and

2. We only did it because I can’t trust the universe to preserve me from spoilers

JustStopDude

I honestly don’t care either way. I was never a fan of the original three….and the next three just added to my view that George Lucas basically has no concept of story telling, script writing, or basic character development and all his success originally was due to the studio forcing creative control.

Since he made obscene amount of money from people, they let the leash off and he has been shit since.

With the new people at the helm, I am somewhat interested, but unless they retcon a slew of shit…I can wait for it to come out on VHS.

entropy

I have always been in the Harlan Ellison camp, Star Wars is just a bad Western with lasers. The only move out of the original six with anything is Empire, and that’s only because Lawrence Kasdan was involved (even that movie is pretty shitty, overall, but it is the best of an admittedly poor lot). I’ll see the new one eventually, but I’m not all that excited about it.

JustStopDude

What annoys the hell out of me is how Hayden Christensen is blamed for the last two films being terrible.

I challenge anyone that could deliver Lucas’ script and not sounds and look terrible.

blaxabbath

Seriously, MIN should have been doing this the entire game. Not fumbling double reverses and shit.

King Hippo

Man, you really gotta feel for Purple Jesus, he’s really gonna be sore in the morning ,, amirite??

QED == quod erat demonstrandum

Shogun Marcus

Has eyes that can see me, and a mouth that would tell my wife. 2/10 WOULD NAWT BANG YOU BETCHA.

blaxabbath

Seriously? Can’t run that in?

King Hippo

why did they pull the good running back, too? For losing the fucking challenge?? Arians is a moron the way he uses his backs.

blaxabbath

Taylor is supposed to be the smaller, stouter back.

Gotta go hot hand. Plus DJ leaves the pass option on the table for the D to read.

makeitsnowondem

I don’t mind Arizona winning so much, but would it kill them to keep it close?

blaxabbath

It’s a one-score game going into the 4th.

makeitsnowondem

What I really meant was “within the spread.”

King Hippo

David Johnson is SO MUCH better than the two stiffs that were playing ahead of him, though.

Beerguyrob

When does he become a elite?

WCS

Sill Bimmons

FUCK THOSE IMPERIAL ASSHOLES

Horatio Cornblower

Relying on Carson Palmer to stand in there and take the hits seems like a sound strategy that couldn’t possibly go wrong.

blaxabbath

That’s how you gain one yard!

SMASHMOUTH FOOTBAW!

blaxabbath

Floyd you moron!

WCS

WE’LL COME BACK FOR YOOOUUUUU!!

King Hippo

Way to drop that pick 6, asshole. Imaginary Hippo needs this imaginary cover.

Oh Christ, how we will have to DRANK for Bucs/Rams

blaxabbath

That was a better job of not lobbing it up for a defender, Palmer.

King Hippo

Of course Jim Nantz got some sort of douchey golf award/honor from a bunch of weird old white dudes. And of course it looks like this is the happiest day of his life.

WCS

A tradition like any other!

Sill Bimmons

i hate everything

Beerguyrob

I think I know what 2000 words of PK’s Monday column will be about.

JustStopDude

Boston Red Sox off season crap?

Thundergun?

blaxabbath

If you buy your main bitch a piece from Zales or Jared, I assume the first thing you do is toss the box and give it to her in a glass of champagne (assuming it doesn’t dissolve) or something.

Recovery Whiskey

Baby blue Tiffanys box

Sill Bimmons

By the way, if you’re invested in any way in the steel industry, better diversify POSTHASTE

Carbon fiber and aluminum are the future.

blaxabbath

Carbon fiber is still quite cost prohibitive (as least in construction) in many cases. We do cable reinforcing (cheap/old school) but I love FRPs but, man, no one seems to have any interest in anything over 20 years.

Because, hey, we can just fix it all over again!

King Hippo

Does we’uns seem like teh investor class to you, buddy! HUH?

makeitsnowondem

Man, I give stock market updates every day on Twitter.

Oh, thank god, @BAKOON is back.
