Your Sunday Night Open Thread

Min @ GB: Well! That was an interesting day right up until the booze made a guy go to SleepyTown. Both these teams are in the playoffs. Playoffs? So why don’t we pray that no one gets deaded and get this thing over with.

That was one fat first down.

fleshwound_NPG

There is nearly zero risk in losing this game. There should be zero punts and zero fucks.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Zero fucks? This is the Vikings…

Defensive Back Mike Wallace

Khun still exists?

There are tons of white boys on the field tonight

litre_cola

Still bet there is more black guys on the field then in the whole stadium.

jjfozz

My buddy went out to Green Bay for training and when he got back he said, “That was the whitest city I have ever been to.”

...

I can’t recall where I read it, but someone told a story of a bunch of Wisconsinites meeting Donald Driver in a bar.

Except it wasn’t Donald Driver. It was just a black guy who didn’t even remotely look like Donald Driver.

Winner plays the Seahawks and loser plays the [*Redacted] s? Both teams should be trying to lose, right?

CBQUE

if Minnesota loses they come back to Lambeau.

litre_cola

You would think the Vikings would lay down.

Bortleback

Didn’t this exact scenario play out three years ago? The game where AP came close but didn’t break Dickerson’s record.

...

Vikings win, Slurs get the Packers (Packers win tiebreaker over Seattle.).

Packers win, Slurs get the Seahawks (Vikings lose tiebreaker with Seattle).

CBQUE

Okay so if Manziel ends up in Dallas, what’s the over/under on how many hookers he and Double J share?

...

I expect them to start a hooker-sharing Instagram account.

Romonobyl

I’m sure they both shit themselves after the Ashley Madison hack.

Spur

The ones they DP will end up on the Whore Ring of Honor by the Fan Club Entrance

theeWeeBabySeamus

That is a mental image I did not need.

...

It’s not as bad if you imagine the inflatable swan in the middle of it all.

theeWeeBabySeamus

You are correct, Sir.

That’s what the rest of RNC thinks about Fiorina

...

It’s a shame Trump is stealing all the attention in the GOP primary because Fiorina is genuinely a terrible human being who is not getting the terrible human being recognition she deserves.

NBC bumper music guy: “I know Semisonic had more than just Closing Time”

fleshwound_NPG

Embarrassing that I recognized that tune so quickly

...

Whomever picks the NBC bumper music takes great pride in whatever they choose each week.

Spur

Why did the Vikings stop running?

Old School Zero

Because smallpox wiped out their village?

Defensive Back Mike Wallace

So Teddy can throw vertical passes, duh!
….wait…

CBQUE

Don’t know, Norv used to run Emmitt into the ground.

Romonobyl

I think the Battle of Svolder played a role.

CBQUE

FYI the conspiracy theorists are out full force in Boston: The league wants Manning in the Super Bowl so if New England goes to Denver they will get screwed on Goodell’s order. I can’t make this stuff up.

litre_cola

Sounds like a Boston WIP caller.

Dunstan

Eh, as a Pats hater I tend to agree that the league is out to screw them this year. It’s just that I think that’s more than fair after 15 years of the league helping them out instead.

CBQUE

I sincerely hope so.

makeitsnowondem

Holy shit.

litre_cola

Oh wow

Redshirt

Shut it down.

JustStopDude

I think my ex knows or at least hints that I am trying to quit drugs for a while.

See sent me another one of her pics to fuck with me.

jjfozz

Did you bring enough to share with the entire class?

JustStopDude

Topless so I don’t think I am allowed to share.

...

Do I dare ask where the drugs were positioned this time?

Recovery Whiskey

Was your ex one of the reasons you had drugs in the first place?

JustStopDude

No…

I was clean at the start of college and my entire time in the military. My prior problem with drugs was when I was 14 to about 18. She was already using when I hooked up with her. I’m an adult so there is no point in blaming anyone.

We are entirely too toxic to be around each other. We feed off each others behavior.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Remember yesterday when I said you should do ’em both?
I now say….Do ’em both and steal the stash. Everybody wins.

Creative play calling? What is this?

Ah, happy new year fuckos.

I somewhat miss the regular season.

Doktor Zymm

If it does end up with an NFC North team going to the field mine testing site in Landover, that will make things more interesting for watching the game in Chicago.

jjfozz

I expect Skins fans I work with tomorrow to be insufferable. Well, they’re always insufferable.

Atomic Insufferable.

Doktor Zymm

Something horrible will happen during the wildcard game, so you can be insufferable back to them next week.

jjfozz

Promise?

Doktor Zymm

I mean, it seems likely.

fleshwound_NPG

Green Bay is pretty much going to have 10 men stacked on the line every play.

“Oh, lemme see.”

CBQUE

So The Browns spent all that money to see who the best QB in the 14 draft was, found out it was Bridgewater and selected Manziel. The factory of sadness indeed

Defensive Back Mike Wallace

Hey Norv, they’re waiting for the run.

CBQUE

Hey guys Happy New Year to everyone hope all of you are well. Just wanted to stop by and say what’s up.

jjfozz

You don’t call, you don’t post, you miss the holidays. . .

CBQUE

Been busy, completing my MBA. I will be around much more frequently. Missed the crew. FUCK UPROXX

jjfozz

Congrats on that achievement. And Uproxx is defintely fucked.

And are you still seeing “that woman”?

Kiss Costas.

Pull an Iron Man and drop Hitler into Isreal and fly away going “He’s all yours.”

“Kiss Costas” – freudian slip there Red?

I would rather have passionate sex with a meat grinder.

Went ahead and broke out the ’13 Alaskan Troppelbock for the Broncos’ regular season AFC championship. Holy shit this is great.

Romonobyl

Pretty heavy stuff?

Extremely. 10.5% and still real sweet even after almost two and a half years of aging.

Romonobyl

So I guess you’re up for anything then.

Romonobyl

Why don’t I have a bejeweled wireless microphone?

Redshirt

When do they announce the playoff game times?

JustStopDude

I swear…I think that the commentariate could be assembled in person and we could ask less inane and insulting questions than the media does in the post game press conference.

It fucking pisses me off how sports media, and the media in general, has become fucking nothing but trolling and trying to get attention.

Doktor Zymm

“Coach, after a game like that, I gotta ask you. Don’t you hate pants?”

Redshirt

We need to be in charge of the NFL and our teams for one year.

litre_cola

I would do a better job than Chip did.

makeitsnowondem

Personally my questions would be less inane but more insulting.

fleshwound_NPG

“Manning, you passed for 69 yards coming off the bench, how nice did it feel”

makeitsnowondem

“Do you think you might throw for 420 next week?”

So here’s a fun write up on how we’ve ruined the very spirit of classic rock music: http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-classic-rock-isnt-what-it-used-to-be/

Horatio Cornblower

I just saw that. I can’t tell you how proud I am to be in the Billy Joel region.

Gratliff

When I moved from northeastern Maryland to the upper peninsula of Michigan, I was shocked at how Billy Joel dropped off the face of the earth. I was equally shocked that George Thorogood gets more play up here than he did in Delaware.

Bloody Lethal

So that explains why Q1043 is a vanilla-ass-spotify-wannabe-no good-piece of crap-radio station? Good to know.

Gratliff

I hope you’re ready for All-American Rejects heavy rotation on classic rock stations.

makeitsnowondem

So here’s the situation:

I participate in an annual picks competition with several friends from college. We pick both pro and selected college games against the spread. We get one point for each correct pick, and zero points for each incorrect pick, except that up to twice per week, we can risk two points on a game to win three. This season, for the first time, we’ve adopted head-to-head play with three divisions. The first tiebreaker is total points. There is a playoff system; all division winners make the playoffs, along with the two best remaining pickers.

I am ranked 17th out of 18 in total points. I have, however, managed to win a very statistically improbable number of my head-to-head matchups, such that the result of my matchup this week will determine who wins my division. The other guy is second in the league in points. This week, I lead him 11-10 with only the Sunday night game left to play.

We’ve both picked the Packers -3. BUT: He elected to take three points if they cover, and lose two points if they don’t. I, on the other hand, have picked this as an ordinary game, and will get one point if the Packers cover and none if they don’t.

If you’ve ever enjoyed rooting for chaos, please, I beg you: Root for the Vikings tonight. Root for me, the second-worst in this contest at correctly picking games this year, to make our five-team playoff. Root for me to be the greatest villain in the history of this competition you didn’t know existed.

Thank you.

Doktor Zymm

Okay.
Good luck!

Horatio Cornblower

I didn’t understand anything after the first paragraph, and quite honestly that one was questionable. Nonetheless I shall root for the Vikings of Minnesota.

Skol!

fleshwound_NPG

Final game, break out the soda and whiskey. You will be missed, stupid, idiotic, derpfestive, dumb regular season football.

Playing the Seahawks again, as we did in 2005, 2007, and 2012, would not bode well.
