NYG @ Min: According to one Giants fan site, D coordinator Steve Spagwhatever is still stewing about the loss to the Panthers. Buddy, you’ve got so much more to worry about than yet another defensive collapse. I just can’t see how he’ll be around next year. Sure he was dealt a bad hand (hah!) but there is next to no intensity on his unit (phrasing!) and the “powers” that be need a sacrificial lamb. It looks like Minny has a number of D guys ready to go today so I expect a whooping. The Vikes D was a dominating piece of work before injuries became an issue. I’m thinking a heavy dose of RB Peterson should make everything all good for Minny. That said, the Giants have a lousy habit of winning games they’re not supposed to. Did I make this game seem watchable? I’ll hang up and listen off air.
Hey, does anyone remember yesterday afternoon, when this game kinda mattered for BOTH teams playing?
Thanks to beer, I don’t even remember my name.
Marty, I think.
Bud Light posited a Giants-Steelers Super Bowl.
Hehehehe.
THIS GAME IS BORING WHERE ARE ALL THE TOUCHED DOWNS?

Al-Jazeera reports Peyton Manning fingers his butt while watching his own highlights and screaming, “JIM MORA JUNIOR AIN’T SHIT COMPARED TO DADDY!”
Guess I’m ordering Dominos then.
How cold is it there? It’s above freezing here, I think. If it’s only in the 20’s I’m gonna scoff at them. Full on scoff.
14 degrees in Minneapolis.
Ehh…okay, that’s cold. But still only medium jacket cold. They should know how to dress for that after these last two polar vortex years.
POLAR VORTEX! Spanish for…. the VORTEX!
POLAR BART, POLAR
Is Zimmer challenging Coughlin to a ruddy face off?
Sendejo? Pendejo!
Probably not, I really know nothing about him. He’s probably lovely.
Most football players are.
I heard the same thing. When I first moved here 30 years ago I befriended a Mexican dude who taught me some of the lingo…only wrong. Pendejo, I was told, meant special friend. Dick move, but he’s still my bud and would fit right in here.
Yeah, he seems a’ight.
It’s safer to fall off of a tall horse than a short horse, because you have more time to adjust your fall. I assume it’s kind of the same thing with running backs, if you line up further back, you have more time to know where to go. It’s still a matter of seconds and instinct, but it’s the difference between rolling on your shoulder/breaking your neck and the difference between finding the whole and breaking to open field and running into 3 defenders who read the formation.
I got thrown off a donkey once (true story bro), so I guess that doesn’t apply.
did the show go on?
OK, you win this one.

However it still says a lot when you’re skills are so limited in shotgun, that Matt fucking Asiata replaces you on 3rd down.
I was on a horse once…
I hope this happens to Cris

That’s what I felt like in Albuquerque last night. Why is it that people are total retards trying to drive on ice? Took me 4 hours to make the 38 mile commute. Assholes in trucks passing me left and right going 45. 30 minutes later, my POS Mazda 5 with bubble gum tires is creeping past all the big bad trucks spinning their wheels in the gutters.
Gonna get in the 40’s tonight here in S. Texas. Folks here tend to go apeshit anytime they can see their breath.
Too quick.
A recycling 2 centigrade bath would keep him alive and twitching for days.
I was ready to call bullshit on Collinsworth “when all the teams in this division played outdoors” but they all did before 1975. I did not realize this.
Then those Canadian rednecks turned the Met into a mall!
“…last year, the child abuse charges…”
I know, right, when are they going to let that go?
I guess they’re just trying to stick with it.
Switching it up at this point doesn’t make much sense.

MEN. That tornado that killed all those people around Dallas jumped Oak Cliff (our neighborhood) and downtown before slamming down on Garland to the NE. Scary as shit, especially since my wife was home alone and I was 200 miles away and could do nothing.
Had you been home could you have stopped the tornado?
Seriously, hope everything’s ok.
Everything’s okay here. Couldn’t have done much, just would rather not have had my wife terrified by herself
He could’ve done SOMETHING

In honor of the best Star Wars film since this one:
The 2600 version was badass too. Broke a controller on it once.
Activision Decathlon broke two. Savage repetitive stress. I’m surprised there wasn’t an outbreak of Atari Elbow back then.
Oh look! Jawing! Things may get, “Chippy” I think is the term?
Chewy!
Uh oh. We’re 2 years away from the announcers constantly talking about Minnesota’s cold outdoor stadium as the ultimate home field advantage, aren’t we?
By “years”, you mean “minutes”, right?
IT WILL NOT EVER REPLACE THE FROZEN TUNDRA

So, why aren’t we calling JPP, Jason Pierre-Paw?
Okay. Just one Eli series.
You’re only going to watch 3 plays?
I need to see him hand off for little to no yards!
/3 and out-like clockwork
They didn’t make JPP change it to “Poor Decisions U?”
Explode So Hard University
“Shop Class”
Is it raining or did JPP have a hand in the pregame ceremonies?
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYOOOOOOOO!!
O/U on Brandy Coughlin drinks during the course of the game to stay warm.

“With no receivers who can catch Eli Manning’s passes, we’re just gonna hand it off to….who are our running backs? Or throw it underneath, or pretend we’re playing the Patriots and just chuck it downfield to some guy wearing a helmet”
Don’t look at him funny, Michelle.

AP’s arms were so veiny, me thinks he and Bane swapped venom recipes.
I’m so confident in the Giants blowing goats this game that I believe I shall retire early to drunk-read something which I’ll have to re-read tomorrow.
“Shit, I don’t remember any of this….are you sure this is where I read to Kindle? Fine, how fast can you turn back the pages?”
Here we go Giants, here we go!
/is all in for the Falcons making the playoffs despite insurmountable odds.
Did you know that the Jaguars were still alive going into this weekend?
I did! As I said in the morning thread, I was really hoping the Titans could steal one against the Texans, but, not all that upset because the Titans are going to Titans.
Went through another year without watching the Titans. STILL no regrets!

Personal favorite. Closest thing to a Death Star trench run that Mini-Porky had when he was a wee porker.
Pffft, had….

I lost a shocking number of Earths trying to remember how to play that last night.

So in that participation trophy car commercial, anyone else get the feeling he’d have smashed his kid’s trophy if they DIDN’T win every game?
goddammit
Watching ARI beat down GB then getting to see the end of STL/SEA made my day. I’m not pushing my luck with the SNF broadcast. So I’m cooking dinner and listening to Cardinals Talk. Get ready for some hot take about how Palmer was left in too long this week!
Chelsea Ake-Salvacion can tell you all about being left in too long…IF SHE WERE ALIVE!
So which Odell Beckham shows up tonight…. America’s sweetheart apple pie eating Beckham or angry repressed hiding out in the closet Beckham?
Um…. neither.
Is he actually suspended?
Yup.
Damn, I could have sworn I heard he won the appeal back on Mon. or Tues. Shows you how much I’ve been keeping up.
There’s a THIRD Beckham????
Hey, if you were popped up on HGH, you’d be moody too

So I skipped out on the Packers game, drank a little with the neighbors (they drank outside with me on Christmas Eve night until about 3 AM Christmas morning, seemed rude to decline the invite), and after seeing the final score, I was SMRT to do so.
But I’m back home now and back with my whiskey and I’m gonna finish the fucker by halftime. There is a little less than half the bottle left.

The Packers skipped out on today’s game too. HEY-OOOOOO!
Stefon Diggs has to come up with 38 points in order for me to lose the champeenship.
I finished two places above my slot in the draft order in the insanity league.

This has the best image name ever.
Finally got the Intellivision hooked up at my sister’s.
It’s as wonderful and awful as I remembered.

Is this Atlantis?
Yep.
Hah. I loved that game.
It’s like a better version of Missile Command.
Okay, I’ve got my cup of gin flavored with additional alcohol. I’m ready for the games to begin, but I’m willing to play Assassin’s Creed for a bit during the interim.
I’ve been playing that too while avoiding the packers being killed.
I slept through the whole day.
Still pretty tired.
I don’t know how you people with kids do that all day every day.
It’s actually preferable to sleep through the whole day when you have kids.
As a Giants fan, I’m pretty sure I shouldn’t watch this game.
As a [*Redacted] s fan, i’m actually reasonably sure they’re gonna win this game.
You mean, you don’t want to just watch those draft picks melt away? I don’t blame you, this will probably be the most well executed game the Giants have played all season
hey guys

The AFC is stupid. This game is also stupid. I’m making a GIANT martini. Not a Giant’s martini. They can’t have my martini.
Amazon has a $3 cocktail instruction book for Kindle. I’m tempted to buy it.
Why?
To learn how to make cocktails, I guess.
Go with a classic guide, or just learn shit off the internet. Don’t learn from a discount Amazon book.
But I wanna make stupid impulse purchases!
Really? A $3 stupid impulse purchase? You can do better.
I’ll try! 😀
Maybe buy a basic guide on how a toilet works?
You need a book to say “pour over ice?”
