Your Monday Night “Where’s That Flex Sked Thingy?” Open Thread

I don’t watch my local news too much because it’s from a god-awful 75K-strong ‘city’ two hours away. I was watching today though and was reminded that one of the news broadcasters was a nationally (somewhat) significant sports guy just a few years ago. He’s been reporting stories about Aunt Granny’s bake sale that raised $234 for diabetic wolves for a while now. Why? Why is he where he is? Did he fall in love with a small city girl? Did he tire of the Bright Lights of Toronto? Or more likely (in my mind) what god-awful inner-demon manifested itself at his former job that caused him to run away to nowhere and ply his trade for a mere pittance of what he was pulling in before? I need to know…

Det @ NO: If the Lions lose they’ll jump from 7th in next year’s draft all the way to 5th. With a loss the Saints could go from 8th to 7th. This is where we are in Wk. 15 on a Monday Nighter in December in the NFL, people. Let’s pretend that both teams lose-it feels like the right thing to me. [looks at several 2016 mock drafts] Wow. There are a ton of dickbags with too much time on their hands!* I feel dizzy. Okay, as near as I can figure the Saints have to go D and there are 3 LB’s squished into the top 8 so…Myles Jack from UCLA? Okay, now the Lions. Hmmm…their secondary has been a complete mess for a few years now…how about CB Jalen Ramsey from Florida State? Now let’s tune into the game and see which team doesn’t want it more.

Drop’s better than a completion. Why throw there?

So.. who called the Hail Mary bomb?

72 yard Hail Mary coming up?

What. The. Fuck.

“Prater hasn’t missed a field goal this year.”

And that’s a jinx, everyone!

Clipboard Jesus

Yay!! It’s a Festivus miracle. On to the next playoff round

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Come on, garbage points!

makeitsnowondem

Saints kick the extra point again, successfully maximizing the amount of time they will trail by one score in this game. And if that’s not a moral victory, I don’t know what is.

I’m sure Colston passed the strenuous concussion protocol before returning.

Classic Detroit. Manufacture solidly, then collapse into desperation, show signs of recovery, and then make everyone doubt if you’ll ever be worth a damn.

Just think of how popular the Lions would be if they had a defensive coordinator who’s last name was “Pooter”. Maybe Billy John Pooter.

Jim Bob Cooter and B.J. Pooter?
We just won the libertarian states.

Welp, I’m out of fig newtons. Now what?

Did you come here to do anything else, other than eat fig newtons?

Then you move onto heroin, of course.

This fucking ad makes me want to smoke tobacco and I haven’t smoked tobacco in 15 years.

I’ve never understood why coaches don’t go for 2 on the first TD, when they’re down 15. If you don’t make it, you still have time to try and get 2 scores.

makeitsnowondem

The explanation you always hear is “if you miss, you’ve made it harder for yourself to come back,” which is pure irrational hindsight-aided bullshit.

Croooow

And the next step in the inevitable Lions collapse is complete.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Does the chart not say to go for two there?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Also, hello.

What happening now could possibly matter less than this game?

Whatever Tebow’s doing.

There’s a Catholic high school in Baton Rouge? No fuckin way

I’m going to play the Jim Bob Cooter drinking game.

Whenever his name is mentioned in full everyone does a “Cooter shooter”.

Use you own interpretations.

Body shots are allowed.

I’m off to watch Band of Brothers. I’ll stop by on occasion.

Okay, now my cable box timed out and turned itself off. That’s two inanimate objects that want no part in this game.

Cut Detroit some slack. They’ve sucked for so long, they may not know how to play with a huge lead.

Recovery Whiskey

That might not be an issue soon

Sill Bimmons

All I wanted to do was to say to everyone, “Fuck you, you fucking idiots!”

Instead, all I did was say that to myself.

Fuck y’all!

It’s alright, pal.

Pretty good. Maybe the third best of the franchise between V and IV.

I completely agree with this assessment.
I saw it this afternoon.
They got the feel completely right.

My browser refused to let me type anything into the comment box. My computer is official tired of this game.

“My San Diego Chargers” really should be said by the current mayor of Los Angeles.

This game is officially awful. Going back to re-reading the Expanse series; starting book two now.
