Your Friday Night Open Thread

Are you smelling it? No, not the Hippo fart, It’s something even more intoxicating! The playoffs are so close. I’m genuinely hyped for this. On top of the football action Jim Boeheim comes back from his 9 game suspension just in time to get absolutely frickin’ crushed by [spits on ground] U*NC. By the by, QB Dalton has been ruled out for tomorrow’s game against the Steelers. Pittsburgh in a blowout? Pittsburgh in a blowout.

D-Jax said recently that Chip’s firing was “karma”. I say that dropping the ball before you cross the goal line is “unfathomable idiocy”. OLD MAN ALERT: QB Newton blarfed his son as “Chosen”. This was in lieu of naming him Cam junior. Let this honorific be etched across the backs of stolen PC’s the world over!

Kevin Greene, he of 160 career sacks (3rd all time) is listed as a finalist for the NFL Hall of Fame. I say, LET THE MAN IN! The dude is third behind Bruce Smith and Reggie White and was an entertaining MF to boot. Nugget-wise, I must mention that DE Watt is at 74.5 sacks at the age of 26. Barring a serious injury you have to think he’ll end up very close to the top. Colin Cowherd or some other contrarian dumbass would point out that “he doesn’t have even one intercept yet!”. This was a criticism of the original LT back in the day. The response being, “you want the best pass-rusher of his generation to drop back into coverage?”. SMGDH. Credit where it is due-the guy imposes his will on the opposition.

On the court there be not a single compelling game that I can see although Tor, Cle, SA, Mia, G.S., and OKC are playing. The NHL has Bos, Chi and StL skating about the place. Grown Boy’s College Basketball has the likes of Valpo, Yale, Kent State and Utah stinking up the court. Oh well, I’m sure we’ll get through it somehow. TO THE COMMENTS!
