Your Week 16 Sunday Nighter Open Thread

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.

Based on this graph Cris, would you say Adrian Peterson likes to switch up his favorite gaps?

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Man some colleges are ruthless with their tuition.

I’ll take shitty Newark parking and 32 credits for under 19k/year, thank you much.

Horatio Cornblower

Honestly it’s making more and more sense to go to a community college for 1-2 years and get your required and/or intro classes out of the way.

Wakezilla

That’s what I did up North in Canadia. It’s cheaper. But those fuckers in College are trying to get that sweet, precious money and as a result, many are trying and succeeding in becoming Universities.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

I did it a weird way, I got my associates’ in business but am getting my B.S. in actuarial science. So I’m a junior but still had to take freshman classes.

However, I got to register for all of them before anyone so I got all the best entry level math and science professors.

Scene from xmas even dinner:

My mom in law (super catholic, believes fox news is real): “It’s warm because of global warming, and that’s because of the Democrats.”

Me: “Ohhhhhh. Ummmm. Ohhhhh. God you gotta be fucking insane.”

My wife (under her breath): “Please, just shut your mouth.”

Horatio Cornblower

Next year I’m coming to your house.

jjfozz

God, please. I can pass you off as a Christian veteran who was swindled out of his house by Obama, and who knows that Donald Trump should be president and Hillary is the anti-Christ, as prophesied by the Bible.

Wakezilla

Why on earth are the elephants so hell bent against Hillary. She’s almost as insane as Trump, just with better PR.

Horatio Cornblower

Because Hillary will win against almost anyone currently running as a Republican and they know it.

Goddamnit. I took the week before xmas off, rather than the week after. This means I have to go back to work tomorrow. Goddamit.

Likewise… at least I work evenings and have enough time to coffee-out the hangover.

At least you don’t work at my company that based vacation time on the company’s fiscal year. That means everyone taking time off this week has it count in their 2016 allotment.

Horatio Cornblower

That sucks ICRM.

...

It didn’t bother me at all since I never take time between Chistmas and New Year’s. There’s never anything to do so I can’t just stream shit at work and get paid.

Everyone else thought… ha.

They announce the flex game at halftime right? That gives us something to stay awake/drink for.

I could never get into the whole Manhattan thing. Like Star Trek, Howard Stern, or Doctor Who – doesn’t click with me.

Doktor Zymm

Fair enough, at least give your kid tasting notes.

Old School Zero

Yeah, until he knows when to stir and when to shake, he’s a goddamn hack.

Have him name all the amaro varieties he can, and see if he can make a passable homemade orange bitters.

How old are they? As long as they aren’t spilling the good stuff, I see no harm.

Horatio Cornblower

So I’m at Starbucks tonight, (shut up, I like their hot chocolate), and I’m talking to a family friend about our kids and where they want to go to college and how soon, because they went to college, we won’t be able to afford coffee, hot chocolate or much of anything beyond hot water and noodles.

The barista says “Oh he wants to go to school in Maine, I went to Bates!”, which probably ran her $200,000-$225,000 for 4 years. Then she asked me if I wanted whipped cream with my hot chocolate.

If my kid gets a liberal arts degree he is fucked.

Sill Bimmons

WRONG

He just needs a hard science degree alongside it!

Defensive Back Mike Wallace

Also, volunteering and interning doesn’t either.

montythisseemsstrangetome

So… did you get the whipped cream or not?

Horatio Cornblower

No, I’m watching my weight.

/drinks third beer since dinner

King Hippo

I quit watching after Friday’s turkey and two Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’ Ales. The self-loathing is just too much ,, smgdh

Horatio Cornblower

Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’ is fantastic.

...

A liberal arts degree is not the cause of this: a lack of any idea of what to do with it is.

Honestly, any degree can get you a job post-grad if you have an idea of what you want to do. Look at the Dalmatian-coat-enthusiast Carly Fiorina. She was a CEO. Her degree? Philosophy.

King Hippo

I graduated from an in-state, public university. My three kids can all damned well do the same. Shit, when the twins (currently freshmen in high school) enter university, I will probably need to sell the house just to afford THAT.

Horatio Cornblower

Our in-state, flagship university is my beloved alma mater, UCONN. Over the next four years tuition will rise 30%, to $14,000+ a year, and that does not cover room and board, which probably adds another $8,000-$10,000. If you’re an out-of-state student tuition at UCONN is now in excess of $30,000! It is insane. Admittedly I went there 25 years ago but the total tuition, room and board that my parents paid for me, (bless their hearts and wallet), would maybe cover three semesters at the current costs.

I am currently researching ways to fake my death and collect insurance benefits.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show
...

That’s a shit ton of money to live in Maine.

...

Oh, and I was floored when I read an article about NYU that casually dropped that a single year cost $62,000. I could have paid for my entire undergrad and most of my grad degree with that amount and that was not that long ago.

blordinaryfagicmox

Yeah the link right above you is pretty shocking; I thought all these whiners were just exaggerating about tuition costs. Maybe it’s all part of the textbook cartel’s plan to make the cost of books less, in percent, of one’s college costs by increasing everything else.

...

Most schools aren’t *that* insane. Still, $100K is a good estimate for a four-year degree nowadays.

Ultimately, I happy I went the cheap route even if it would have been better for my long-term development as a human being to pick a different school.

Doktor Zymm

Eh, I got a degree from NYU. It’s a degree in Math and Physics and I have another 10 years of education on top of that, but all my fellow graduates who majored in dumb stuff did ok…mostly.

Doktor Zymm

I should also mention, I had a partial merit scholarship and graduated without debt. With room and board, it ended up in the $120k range I think. Also, I only took 4 years.

Doktor Zymm

That does include text books and living expenses.

Whiskey level: under a quarter of the bottle. Gonna slow down now, because I am enjoying this drunk.

I actually would watch the shit out of hurling, if that became a thing with organized matches that were televised in the US. I won’t even post pictures of hot met engaging in hurling, cause I’m that serious about how awesome it would be see lots of hurling.

“cause I’m that serious about how awesome it would be see lots of hurling.”

Just come to the NYC St. Patrick’s Day Party and you’ll see plenty of that.

They have the sticks already, ready to give wooden shampoos at a moment’s notice.

Horatio Cornblower

I went to the hurling game, (contest? match?), at Fenway and it is an insane sport. Also it does not translate well to a live viewing, at least in a baseball stadium.

Doktor Zymm

It’s another sport with shittons of injuries, just without the NFL broadcasting contracts. It would benefit from highlights and instant replay.

Defensive backs always knock it away AT THE LAST SECOND. It’s because they are LITERALLY COVERING THE RECEIVER.”

Honest question, which broadcaster(s) do you think absolutely hate their partner.

Tirico hates Gruden the very most, dead certain of that.

Jim Nantz.

Oh, you mean their BROADCASTING partner.

Still Jim Nantz.

I believe Buck hates Aikman, and that Tirico lives in fear of Gruden.

I don’t know why the cake-holding girl in the GE commercial is so high and mighty about; according to the DiSH TV commercials she’s going to wind up working in a call center singing “This Is How We Do It” to dorky dads.

Defensive Back Mike Wallace

Good lord, the Samsung Galaxy commercials’ music keep getting worse and worse!

Sill Bimmons

Again, this GE guy needs to kill his friends.

They are societal dead weight.

Beerguyrob

He should kill them with the hammer his father gave him.

BUT HE CAN’T LIFT IT

entropy

The guy is useful to society in the long run, but he looked at that hammer like it was a dead fucking snake. He’s got his own goddamn issues.

Horatio Cornblower

Probably the same way AP’s kid looks at tree branches…and for the same reason.

Sill Bimmons

“You didn’t serve, did you? You see, a boy’s got that look…when he’s been shot through the chest or had his legs blown off by a mine…he’s got that look. That look like…that he doesn’t even know he’s dead yet. That his brain hasn’t caught up with the situation.”

Defensive Back Mike Wallace

Let’s be honest, football is just a bastardized version of rugby

Doktor Zymm

Technically they’re both offshoots of a common game and have derived different variations from what was originally a common set of rules. You can’t know one and watch the other nowadays, but it’s easier than cricket.

Sill Bimmons

Cricket is a very simple game.

I’m going to write a post explaining it in the offseason.
