A Day Time Open Thread? A Day Time Open Thread

I hope that in the future the words ‘ironic’ and ‘erotic’ become synonyms. I’d always assumed that the movie One Million Years BC was a documentary. Sorry for over-sharing. Look, things are a bit relaxed these days so I thought I’d just toss this into the ether. Observations, complaints, gifs, humblebrags, anecdotes, callouts…everything is welcome. Afternoon sports-wise we’ve got Tulane/Memphis, Temple/Cincy and Liberty/Notre Dame (ND is always good for a hate-watch) in college ball, California/Air Force in the Armed Forces Bowl and Leicester City/Man City in other football. I’m sure there’s some other things out there but like I said, there’s only so much energy I’m going to expend today. We may have an evening open threader later but for now [points to the assembled commentariat] TAKE IT AWAY, PEOPLE!

What has otherwise been a civil (well, civil for WIP) discourse, there are far too many callers (and the host) who think it’s time for Iggles to hire Gruden or Cowher.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh
WCS

DERP

Meant to post this in the Chip post.

JustStopDude

I would love for Gruden to get hired by ANYONE…

Watch him fall flat on his fat fucking face. Let’s seem him replicate a Superbowl win without a team built up from scratch already.

This is the kind of shit I hated about working in the Middle East…they would have this shit everywhere.

Fucking bastards…

These sucked too…

JustStopDude

Try this again…

These fuckers are usually disgusting. The port facility was very good about keeping our toilets clean.

...

I was gonna say, that looks pretty clean.

JustStopDude

Oh my…Baylor is woodsheding the Tarheels.

King Hippo

NAWT badly enough

...

Now that the Eagles have fired Chip, they need to fulfill their destiny.

PHILLY NEEDS TO HAVE A RYAN

JustStopDude

Don’t you mean “another Ryan again”?

...

Yes. Philly should be required to employ a Ryan from each generation as head coach until the end of time.

ballsofsteelandfury

Katie Nolan just came.

...

Oooh!

JustStopDude

I had mentioned in a previous thread about how I think its moronic how the NFL, college football, baseball, soccer…basically a shit load of sports don’t bother using modern technology that could easily assist in the judgement calls that affect the results of games.

comment imagev

This is basically just three separate pendulums, attached together, with a simple motor system. Everything is basically handled with a computer program. I want to say this is some sort of college research. I basically do the same thing for work, only larger…

We are working to get it to the point in which these ship to shore cranes are fully undermanned. As it stands, I can keep this particular port running without disruption in close to a million individual moves, (the disruptions are always operator error).

I want you all to remember this the next fucking time the officials can’t tell if a fucking football went over the uprights or not.

...

The reasoning in soccer is a bit interesting. Since organized soccer has the exact same rules at every level, some considered the ability to use technology at one level but not another was having different rules.

I don’t really buy it, but the “we should have the same rule at all levels” thing is something I like.

JustStopDude

I think it could be a great way to assist the officiating. The off sides call in soccer is crucial and it gets blown all the time. It would be so fucking easy to real time track the position of the players in relation to the ball.

King Hippo

Plus at the higher levels, they REALLY desire the ability to rig things. Being able to hide behind egalitarian bullshit is a great bonus.

JustStopDude

Oh I totally believe that is the biggest resistance to it in FIFA.

With baseball, especially with calling balls and strikes, I get that it would be much more difficult to come up with the “perfect” strike zone since its different for every batter.

But it would be easy as shit to be able to real time track a baseball to determine if its a home run or fall ball.

...

Tennis would be the best example of this.

This kid #9 from Baylor is an idiot.

If BayBay had any goddamned sense they’d be up 30

I wonder if she likes movies about gladiators?

I have a couple opinions in another post.

I’ll thought it was a tad mediocre, maybe it’s not the type of movie I enjoy anymore.

“Maybe I shouldn’t have gone all-in on Sam Bradford…”

WCS

Never go full-Bradford.

ballsofsteelandfury

Kelly’s record before getting fired? 6-9.

Nice.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Black Hand of Allah knocks down a pair. Nice.

King Hippo

Definitely good to have that on our side, inshallah

Do these college broadcasters forget Chip voluntarily disassembled his team in an inexplicable fashion in the offseason?

King Hippo

How much you wanna bet Riley Cooper has already cleaned out his locker?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

If I were capable of astral projection I would totally use it to appear in Australia and yell “Ha ha!” at WhyEaglesWhy.

Chip Kelly is terminated, let that be a lesson to anyone who deliberately destroys a team in the offseason, you better make damn sure you’re either the owner or related to him, if you want to keep your position.

WCS

The Ol’ Double J agrees, cause he’s fucking crazy.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hey look….first Wolven lead of the game.

King Hippo

and teh real life King Hippo strips the NE point guard (?!) and almost goes coast to coast!!

theeWeeBabySeamus

He is amphibious.

Sill Bimmons
King Hippo

I have no idea what you are talking about, but if humanity is involved it is almost certainly an immensely horrid idea.

Sill Bimmons

It’s on MTV, no less.

They should get JJ, Guillermo Del Toro, or Peter Jackson to direct Sword as a standalone film.

I’d pay to see that.

King Hippo

Holes yank BayBay players helmet off by facemask, BayBay gets unsportsmanlike for continuing play without his helmet. SERIOUSLY.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Those smug fuckers really piss me off sometimes.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Goddammit Baylor!!!!

ballsofsteelandfury

Holy shit! Eagles fired Chip Kelly!

WCS

WIP simultaenously self-immolates and rejoices.

King Hippo

I HOPE YOU NAGGERS ARE HAPPY NOW!!!1111

Sill Bimmons

This is a great day.

There are no “geniuses” in football.

But there are those who know not to trade for Sam Bradford and cut DJax, JMax, and LMax while overpaying DMux, BMax, and RKKK.

They’re called lemurs.

...

This will all be extra funny when LSU reverses their reversal and fires Les Miles to bring Chip down to the Swamp.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Kitteh getting warmed up.
I hope.

WCS

BayBay defender just blowed up a UNC receiver. Blowed him up real good.

Bullshit penalty

Interesting fourth down defense by the Heels there.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Keep us posted…busy watching the roundball wolves getting punked.

King Hippo

28-10!

theeWeeBabySeamus

And 8-2.
Oy!!!

King Hippo

I can live with that tradeoff. Just not a double decker shit sandwich.

King Hippo

NC State getting ready to get pounded by goddamned Northeastern, so I have to get my smires in whilst I still can.

theeWeeBabySeamus

The fan base will implode.
But yeah, very possiblez.

I just tuned it, is Baylor still essentially without a QB?

King Hippo

Yes, and still kicking the Holes’ fucking teeth in.

Hippo <3333333 teh BayBay

King Hippo

FUCK CAROLINA WOO!!!!!

His Right Honorable Lord Lordship the Lordly

I prefer to do my drinking in concentrated doses on Fridays and Saturdays.

King Hippo

I have gotten off the couch on a rainy, sleety, shitty day here in CT to take my wife to see Star Wars.

If it isn’t any good I will beat up a nerd.

Yeah? How you gonna do that from inside that locker, JOCK?

/ten nerds trip over each other but manage to shove Horatio back in the locker

I heard Sparano’s Football auditioned for the role of Luke.

Old School Zero

I step away for a half hour meeting and this whole thread goes nuts.

Well done, everyone! You’ve exceeded my hopes!

Headed down to the shit store, gonna sell some stuff.

I’m thinking of taking a Pilates class.

Just saw the latest video on Deadspin, showing Johnny Football drinking a Four Loko, and rapping.

Hot take time I guess…

1) Dear god…you make enough money to not drink utter shit like that.

2) White people should NEVER rap.

3) Did you not see Cris Carter and his patsy advice? Damn it Manziel…the whole point of putting up with a fucking posse of shitheads is to have people that make sure shit like this doesn’t get posted.

All that said…dear god he is perfect for the Browns…

theeWeeBabySeamus

I thought Four Loko had been semi-outlawed.
Note to self, find more Four Loko.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Go to Hell, Carolina.
Ya know….just in case I forget to say it later.

Hee hee…eat shit Tar Heels.

With my back feeling like utter shit…enough mexican food to hold out for a few days…along with enough beer to get blinding drunk…I’m feeling maybe a binge watch of a tv show…something that fits my bitter mood…

After my sports interests of the evening have passed, I plan on doing the same.
The Americans, first half of S1, may fall tonight.

Holy mole.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Goddammit….I’m having an inexplicable craving for enchiladas.
Damn you, JustStopDude!!!!!
Now I gotta either cook, drive, or dial the phone. All of which interferes with my previous plans.

I can tell you one thing, I ain’t spending $130 on Mexican….even if it is Canadian.

(sounds confusing, but I swear it makes sense)

ballsofsteelandfury

$130? Are you buying enchiladas and drinks for a dozen people?

theeWeeBabySeamus

scotchnaut is waiting on $130 worth of Chinese.
Although, judging by his sudden silence, it must have arrived.

ballsofsteelandfury

I just scrolled down and read that. WTF?

Chinese Canadians must be jacking up the price when it snows.
