Your “Only 17 Lousy Games Left” Tuesday Night Open Thread

Well, college of football is all done. And we’re entering the home stretch of the NFL season. According to a gluten-free flan chart I just made up, after this coming weekend (some number less than) 24 games remain. That’s not a lot of games. Remember when you were crying/celebrating/masturbating/saying ‘meh’/dead drunk back in week six? You can never have that back-until week six next year. Truth IED’s hurt, don’t they? There are other things going on though. For those commenters in the US, you could watch your country implode in slow motion (the news). Perhaps a re-viewing of The Big Bazinga Report is worthy of your attention (the eye candy have nice boobies you know). I’ll be flipping back and forth amongst all the sporty stuff. Here’s what you may want to allow into (onto) your lenses…

In the NBA, CLE/DAL would seem to be the highlighted game but IND, SA, CHI, OKC and a shit-ton of lousy teams are also playing. The ice warrior league has Preds/Hawks and Pens/Canes as their featured games but NYI, StL, MIN and defending champs CHI are also in play. College ball features two matches between ranked teams-#1KU visits #11 Track Pants U and #8 MIA faces down #13 UVA. Other ranked teams playing include XAV, TAMU, UK, PROV (Providence?, really?) ISU and MD. Bring that thing that you bring, commenters.

So what is with this hate? Just curious.

If you all want some chuckles, it’s fun to read the Rams’ Wikipedia page to see some of the quotes from owners about the Rams leaving Los Angeles.

Really mild annoyance that is bugging me today. I bought a lighter after xmas and it is already dead and out of fuel. That is like 4 packs of cigs and it is dead. It costs a buck to get a new one but that was fast. I got an almost dead one from a clerk for free when I asked for matches in July, that one still works, and I used it way more

So NFL.com has a “social media reacts” story up and it’s, rather predictably, all positive, which would be pretty disheartening until you see the first four quoted tweets are from the same guy, and the rest are all from Rams players, organization flunkies, and Matt Leinart, hilariously enough.

They aren’t even trying to snow people any more, it’s just bald-faced fuckery with a knowing “try and stop us, asshole” smirk, and it’s pretty sad. It’s not even done well. I can enjoy propaganda if it’s professional, but this is just lazy.

I wasn’t sure how I felt about all this, so I’m glad Matt Leinart has weighed in to help inform my opinion.

I’d like to think this will backfire (adding two teams to a market with none and hoping to build a strong following isn’t exactly easy) but considering how the NFL makes a big chunk of its money via corporate $$$ (TV deals, sponsorships, naming rights, etc.) it probably won’t.

Antonio Cromartie is about to hit a dozen. He and his wife are expecting twins, even though he had a vasectomy.

And this will never not be hilarious.

“even though he has had vasectomy” You are as dumb for believing that as the 8 women he told that to have all those kids

It’s not as if Terricka doesn’t have a lot of free time on her hands while Antonio is on the road.

Hey kiddos. I’m fairly drunk, mad about the Rams, and updating my server, which always breaks a bunch of sites. I’m here for a while, so…sorry, I guess? I always feel like your Dad checking up on a slumber party when I’m here at night.

I love you and what you’ve done for us DTZM.

Sorry about your loss.

I don’t mean to belittle the event but it’s big for us LA folks. The excitement out here is really really real.
I guess what I’m saying is do you really want to be a Chiefs fan?

I want to side with Titans4evah and steer you towards Tennessee but you’ve probably had enough of Jeff Fisher.

0
Darkest Timeline Zack Morris

You know, people there SHOULD be excited. I can’t possibly begrudge the fans in LA from having a team, particularly one that we swiped 20 years ago. HOWEVAH, I will always, ALWAYS hate Stan Kroenke for the disingenuous, backhanded way he, Roger Goodell and Eric Grubman engineered this. He’s a scumbag and I hope Wal-Mart goes out of business and he dies of old age in a gutter somewhere, penniless and alone, with only his toupee and pathetic mustache to cover him.

This is good, sustaining hate. Move over, Arizona Cardinals, I have a new least-favorite team.

I just want to say, that in my 15+ years of affiliation with WVU, this was the first time either the football or basketball team beat a #1-ranked opponent. I’d be FAR more excited if I still weren’t battling this demon inside of me. That said:

I spent almost all last night sick awake with some kind of sweating-yet-freezing chills, weird poops, and vomitting “fun.” Finally passed out around 05:00 (I think) in bed, yet woke up later on the couch, unsure of how I got there. It was almost 16:00.
Feeling a bit better today, and WVU winning certainly doesn’t hurt. Just as I settle back here to hang out, Orange Cat jumps onto my lap, presumably for some attention, and promptly farts directly at my face, and jumps back off.

LOVE YOU TOO, SHITTEN. Appreciate your concern for my well-being.

The is poignant, yet funny scene where he is in waiting and ages fifty year while sitting there. It fits the movie, but also is a perfect story of the doctor’s office.

I love that movie. I was tripping balls the first time I saw it.
It was also the reason I turned into a huge Bauhaus fan.
Here’s the movie intro.

While not tripping I was pretty stoned in the theater and found it fantastic; I re-watched it a few years ago and enjoyed it again.

Underrated song off of Hours. I think it would have fit in well with his 70s stuff. Also makes one wonder when he got his first cancer diagnosis.

I liked that whole movie, but I remember at the time thinking a full Bowie as Tesla movie would have been even better.

Tesla was a great man too. Yes, but today’s film makers wouldn’t see enough money in it.

Thanks; please take a look at what I said below to Porky. It seems several people feel the same way, I don’t know, maybe not.

No this one kicked me in the stomach in a way I hadn’t really felt since Freddie Mercury, and I didn’t pick up deep cuts Bowie until my mid-30s. Once I dove in, I realized just how freakin’ amazing and influential the guy was. There are few bands and artists of the past 40 years who didnt draw something significant from The Thin White Duke.

A lot of people who I hear died and I think I appreciated their careers, they were entertaining, meaningful, etc. and affected my life. I think well, considering their life it was time, or some other platitude, but with Bowie I can’t really shake this sadness.

I forgot I loved so many Bowie songs until I went JUST to them. I need to remember the B-sides I loved I can’t find so easy and then actually go find them
