Your Not Too Bad Looking Late Afternoon Slate Open Thread

Jax @ NO: If you’re a fan of invisible D’s have I got a game for you. Both of these teams have racked up a 50 spot this year. Over the last five games combined these teams have averaged 27 points per game. RB Yeldon is out so Denard Robinson goes once again. Pro Bowl snub WR Robinson, he of the 1100+ yds. and 13 TD’s just might go off today. Of course, I say that about any talented catcher of balls playing against the Saints secondary. QB Brees will play with a torn painter fascist (Gerardo Dottori?)-not sure how mobile he’ll be but I’m also not sure of how much pressure the Jags DL will be able to exert.

StL @ Sea: Who knew that QB Wilson would be able to back up his words with actions? Since wk.11 he’s been the best completion-, yards per attempt- TD- and QBR-wise. That’s some sagely play on his part. By far his most heroic feat though has been temporarily transforming WR Baldwin into something not resembling a regrettable draft pick. The Rams looked to be something early in the season but reality has a way of catching up to everyone. (Donald Trump excluded) DT Aaron Donald has been a force for the D throughout for the Rams and Wilson may want to keep an eye out lest he become another sack statistic.

GB @ Ari: The Pack do have 10 wins at this point but they have come at the expense of the Chargers, the Lions X2, the Cowboys, the 49ers and the Seahawks/Chiefs before they got their collective shit together. To be fair, they did beat the Broncs and Panthers though. By beat I mean not beat. Over the last 8 weeks the Cards have only been tested by the Vikes, Seahawks and Bengals. The old standby “playoff atmosphere” may be bandied about a fair bit during this game. You have been warned.

1. I want to live in a world with angry snowmen attacking the town I live in.

2. This game is boring as fuck, and making keeping my buzz difficult. I need something to make this fun.

Doktor Zymm

I think you need a drinking game. Which game are you watching? I’m sure we can come up with something good.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Found it! It’s スミロドーン(原始タイガー)!!

Sorry GIS and the other site are Bill Parcels only.

Doktor Zymm

I really, really want to own a copy of this and make up it’s very own drinking game.

I would think there are places to look for Japanese 70s and 80 cinema, since it is so odd and monsterish.

Doktor Zymm

I have a friend who has watched a huge amount of this stuff, I’ll ask him. Appropriately enough, I met him at a Guitar Wolf show.

So, I get that “on accident” is a regional thing and it makes sense for it to match “on purpose” but it still sounds weird to me, and the more I think about it, it’s really “on purpose” that doesn’t make much sense. What was he hit by? He was hit by a fist, or by an accidental fist, or by accident. What the fuck does it mean to be on a purpose? On a porpoise? SURE! On purpose? No. With purpose, or even by purpose would be okayish.

...

Must be a region I’m from thing because I reacted quite oddly when I first heard “by accident” despite later learning it’s correct.

blaxabbath

Cards really need to learn how to score TDs from inside the 10.

evilbeaver8

So not to beat a deadhorse…but in asking about the old writers a ways downthread…there seemed to be some hard feelings…or am I just misunderstanding?

blaxabbath

I personally have no details. I understand a “Matt” was never “brought back”.

blaxabbath

Sad Packers fan sighting!

John Difool

THIS GREEN BAY/ARIZONA GAME I CALL IT HARPER’S FERRY ‘CAUSE THAT’S THE LAST TIME A JOHN BROWN CAUGHT THIS MANY BULLETS

blaxabbath

I dunno, Green Bay. That aggressive “bring the house” mentality might hold up in the North but, come on, ARI has 2+ NFL WRs.

Doktor Zymm

Challenge! They put fluoride in the water they used to mix the Gatorade, mind controlling our team to suck!

Doktor Zymm

What movie are these from, and can I watch it on Netflix?

Romonobyl

And are they subtitled in English?

Has BJ Raji got his rush shipment from Peyton Manning yet?

Have any of the KSK writers found new full-time gigs since the unpleasant ending?

NARC!

I think I saw Ape’s with Sports on Earth, and RFD’s busy playing WWE2K16.

One just got the fryer station, another has the drive-thru window. Not sure about the rest.

“since?”

Thought they all had them prior to the big blow up

Recovery Whiskey

The Rams punter just got flagged for unneccessary roughness.

Bothell High Represent!

Sharkbait

That game sounds way more interesting that AZ-GB

Recovery Whiskey

Derpier for sure

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I’m predicting similar things happening in the playoffs:

The scene at the beginning of the 1979 classic Apocalypse Now, with Martin Sheen’s Captain Willard alone in his hotel room, was completely unscripted. Sheen told the shooting crew to just let the cameras roll. The actor was actually drunk in the scene and punched the mirror, which was real glass. Sheen also began sobbing and tried to attack director Francis Ford Coppola. The crew was so disturbed by his actions that they wanted to stop shooting, but Coppola wanted to keep the cameras going.

Doktor Zymm

We can only hope to see this scene repeated often in Boston this coming new year.

entropy

Shot on his 36th birthday, too.

John Difool

And then Sheen turned to the camera after Coppola shouted “CUT!” and exclaimed……

“You Like That! YOU LIKE THAT!”…. and then started dabbing.

Senor Weaselo

Dabbing for some, miniature American flags for others.

blaxabbath

12s/RAMIT isn’t my America’s Game of the Week. Is St Louis actually beating them or has it been like a couple freak plays that have STL in the lead?

Recovery Whiskey

Freak plays

Dude eating the BK buffalo chicken fries has feelings for a woman. What a queeah!

Seahawks are playing like 5th place is secure.

They can make it up next week!

I’m fine if we drop to 6th. Sets up a rematch with Rodgers, and avoids Snyders ACL rip field

Oh shit! I actually do sort of care about this game! GO RAMS! RAM IT!

blaxabbath

Have you ever actually BEEN to St Louis? I don’t blame them for wanting to leave. The place is a pit.

...

Having been to St. Louis *many* times I can say that, bizarrely, the majority of its inhabitants no only don’t want to leave but question your sanity for suggesting they’d ever want to.

(Note: Most live in St. Louis county.)

Wakezilla

The Hawks are my NFC team, but, I want to see them lose just so the Falcons can get in

evilbeaver8

There is a flood watch in effect for our region until 1:45 am Thursday. I question the credibility of such a specific time frame.

entropy

“Water levels may rise an average of 3-3.75 inches, and flooding is expected to subside any time between 12:13 and 12:47 AM.”

Ha-Ha!

Horatio Cornblower

Both of you get out.

Wakezilla

You know why else the Hawks fans are quiet right now, Myers and Barber? Because their fucking offense is on the field. Use your fucking brain, you idiots.

Recovery Whiskey

Yeah, never let fact get in the way of a strong taek

Recovery Whiskey

The Rams have cast their derptitude spell on Seattle yet again

I like how Nike makes all this sporty gear just to see it wind up on Mike McCarthy.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Well done, guys.

Doktor Zymm

I’m not a Packers fan, but I do have a soft spot for super fat players who aren’t Albert Haynesworth. Especially when they do awesome fat guy dances on the rare occasion they score a TD. Be okay BJ!

Shogun Marcus

Phrasing?

entropy

Let’s be honest. Every BJ is at the very least OK.

Horatio Cornblower

I just got back from the gym where I had the pleasure of watching a Patriots fan go from smirking when Gronk caught that late pass to convert on 4th, to fist pumping when White scored, to grabbing his shit and leaving when Decker scored.

Doesn’t get much better than that.

Senor Weaselo

Well if it could have knocked the Pats out of the playoffs it would be better than that, but that’s about it.

entropy

This. So much this.

King Hippo

Or if Denver had managed not to shit themselves ONE of the last two weeks, they would be in the driver’s seat for home field.

blaxabbath

Was he even lifting or just sitting there injecting himself?

Horatio Cornblower

He was lifting but he was also one of those guys that likes to stand around rubbing his triceps after a set, hoping people will notice his pump.

I hate people like that because it distracts everyone from looking at me when I do it.

Wakezilla

Fairley and Joyner look like they need to take a class in heads up football

Oh yeah, the Yinzer bar was dead as fuck when I left, and no one was happy. Well, except me. I was fucking ecstatic.

bourb0nblues
Doktor Zymm

I still enjoy telling the story of the Yinzer lady who chucked a handful of change against the wall upon a Stillers loss. I will probably never tire of said story.

Recovery Whiskey

Sitting here in Seattle I have no idea how you all put up with those people

Horatio Cornblower

Did a Browns fan pick up the change and use it to pay their tab?

entropy

That is awesome. Last night, Yinzer buddy was giving all our mutual Eagles fan friends tons of shit. Today, one of them sent him “NEVERMORE” in a text and he threw his fuckin phone. I was dying.

Doktor Zymm

That’s a fanbase interaction I always thought should be more entertaining than it is. I’m glad your friends are making the effort!

entropy

I live in the greatest confluence of sports fandom; we get Eagles, Steelers, Jets, Giants, and even a weird smattering of P*ts fans, so every bar has a nice cross section and everyone gives each other shit. It’s really fun.

Doktor Zymm

I get all of the NFC North teams here, plus a bunch of Browns fans, but they’re all preoccupied with being midwestern and pretending to be nice to each other. Midwesterners are weird.

entropy

The Boston to DC megalopolis effect means everyone’s a prick, so no one pretends to even respect each other.

Doktor Zymm

I miss DC for so many reasons. I still have fans of every NFC East team on my Facebook just from poker games I used to play in.

John Brown is the size of a CFL wr.

Late enough for a beer run, but I’m limited to teh grocery store. Finally chilly outside, maybe something darker than my usual.

Hell of a wind up on throwing that flag, ref.

“…pushing Seattle into an awkward situation.”

Hey mister those Volkswagen’s caused the Battle of Kasserine Pass!

Calais Campbell may be the only guy heavier than Lacy.

Ah shit it’s Aikman and Buck. God DAMN it

King Hippo

Jets/Bills just HAS to be SNF doesn;t it? And men (and women)…how much we gon drank?

entropy

My blood alcohol content will be “are you sure this isn’t three people?”

Doktor Zymm

I actually knew the guy who had the record for highest BAC at hospital admission in NJ for a while. I don’t think he held it for long though, I think it’s a constantly being overturned type of record.

entropy

An ex of mine had .423. She was….. not stable.

Doktor Zymm

Damn. That’s both scary and impressive. I’m passed out on the couch if I even approach half of that.

entropy

I don’t know the actual BAC, but my record for drinking in a night was two full bottles (750ml) of Jameson at a bar in Garmisch, Germany. The bartenders were amazed that I could even stand, let alone speak without slurring. When I came back the next day, I saw their order sheet for the week. In big letters, it read, “SERIOUSLY MORE FUCKING JAMESON”

Doktor Zymm

Oh, well done.

King Hippo

The love of my life (a post-divorce ex-gf) was an alcoholic of that caliber. She couldn’t get through “Leaving Las Vegas” because it was too realistic.

Never knew her record but I’m sure she’s been way north of .3

Horatio Cornblower

A guy I knew in college, (I hasten to add we were not friends), had the record at the local hospital with a .4+. I ran into him earlier that night when he was drinking tequila out of a red solo cup. I told him it was a bad idea but he didn’t listen.

Guess he showed me; I never set any hospital records.

...

A paramedic friend of mine once said someone was admitted with a .6 (!!!!) BAC. Said drunk was conscious and pissing himself.

King Hippo

The conscious part seems unpossible

litre_cola

I am off tomorrow and would really like a derpfest tonight. I am half cut already.

...

Packers-Vikings will be the game if it has divisional implications.

Oh, and WE GON DRANK Spiteful Brewing’s God Damn Pigeon Porter.

blaxabbath

I don’t watch a lot of Packers football. That Eddie Lacy is a hefty fellow though!

litre_cola

He is just big boned

entropy

Woooooooo home again home again, you know the rest. Jets whiskey beer funny comment to be made later.

blaxabbath

I don’t understand the punt down rule. Like, you can touch it but it’s down where it stops. Why can’t you just swat it forward then?

Senor Weaselo

I’d guess it’s probably like the illegal kick/swat fumble rule.

evilbeaver8

Mike Neal’s HGH investment really paying dividends there.
