Your “This is not a drill! I repeat! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!” Hall of Fame Game Open Thread

[continues to wonder if pouring those female gymnasts into those absurdly tight outfits constitutes some form of child abuse]

Oh hey there! And so it begins-The Circle Of Football Life. The last time we gathered together to comment during a live game was like, 27 months ago (it seems longer than that to me). We were grizzled veterans back then. The hell of an overly drawn-out season had taken its toll-Horatio could barely stuff his Tony Romo sex doll back into his locker during the playoffs. Dok had sunk so low that she was banging something called “Pat From Jersey” on the reg! Yeah Right? He was having take-out buttered toast for the big game. But now we’re all rested up.

Like many of you, I’ve tried hard to work on my commenting game. While the players were attending camp, I was commenting from camp. When they were warming up, I was stretching my analogies. When some rookie was tackling a football dummy, I was tackling Football For Dummies. I’m sure that more than one of my brethren were conjugating their verbs daily or taking their run-on sentences for a jog. Sure it’s hard work-but if you want to be at your best you’ve GOT to study that playbook, er, thesaurus every night.

TO THE GAME!

Packers @ Colts: Bad news for all you Brett Hundley fans out there-he’s got an ankle owie.  You know what this means, don’t you? Oh yeah, it’s all kinds of Joe Callahan action-he’s the undrafted Division 3 fella from Wesley Crusher College that’s somewhere in The Delaware. Others to keep an eye out for Packers-wise are draft picks Kenny Clark, Jason Spriggs, Kyler Fackrell, Blake Martinez and Trevor Davis. On the Colts side you may want to ogle T.J. Green, Le’Raven Clark, Hassan Ridgeway and Antonio Morrison.

*a brief note to lurkers out there

If you’ve been wondering when would be a good time to jump into the fray, this is a great spot. We never bite unless expressly asked to do so in no uncertain terms. Personally, as a non-lawyer, I’m begging someone/anyone that has some sort of understanding of ethics to get in here. The user-name “Eddie Lacy’s Cleavage” is there for the taking, by the way.

Upped the lime & simple syrup volume and tonight’s caipirinhas are way better.

I drink the shit out of those when I go to Texas de Brazil.

JerBear50

Come to think of it I don’t know why I never thought to make them at home. I make mojitos but never thought to make those instead.

Also, mad credit to whatever site suggested wheels instead of wedges. They say it has something to do with getting more rind when you muddle.

I’m just trying to get in the spirit.

I just got an email asking if I had arrived yet in the Houston area…

I love how sales people managed to just hear what they want and ignore everything else.

I am certain I could convince our sales department that our drives turn 4160 VAC into creamy, tasty frogurt and it would be months before they caught on…or until a sales guy tried to lick a live bus bar…

Covalent Blonde

If your sales dept. spends time licking random shit I might be looking for a new job.

Hmmm, not quite sure how to take that.

I then make them watch arc flash explosions for about an hour…

That looks like licking would be discouraged in those scenarios?

This always happens…so I end the video and then ask if there are any questions…

“Yeah…you guys don’t really bother wearing all this gear right?”

“Okay…so Bob indicates we need to watch the explosions again…”

I missed yesterday’s Tom Brokaw story hour, but given the rest of the commentary I’ve heard, I’d be alright with him calling every event.

I kind of lost Tom after I heard one of his ‘American Stories’ (or whatever they call his little segments) where he talked about how people don’t wear watches anymore.

So I don’t watch a lot of non-NFL live tv. I’m used to the evil/annoying commercials geared at me during those broadcasts (erection/peeing pills; trucks that will make my dick big; beers that will make women show up to sit on my big dick; FANDUEL) but it seems like only the biggest global asshole outfits have commercials on the Olympics (probably the only ones who can afford it). So far I’ve got:

Exxon’s employees saying their job isn’t only profit
Citi talking bout how they Detroit with a predatory loan after they crashed the global economy
Chevrolet — their commercials are just stupid

I do like Reese’s though. Even though, you know, GMOs!

Exxon’s official accounts are getting dragged hard on social media today. I imagine they wanted it to go better.

blaxabbath

Why? Like twitter? Because their commercials are bullshit?

Gratliff

Because they’re posting shit like this:

The responses are basically just hundreds of links to all the awful shit they’ve ever done.

blaxabbath

Gratliff

Huh. Hunger Games finale wasn’t bad. Wish they’d have just compressed part 1 into 45 minutes and tacked the whole thing together. I really hate the bullshit trend of splitting the last book of novel series into 2-3 movies and breaking the last season of major series into 2 seasons. Just finish the fucking thing already.

blaxabbath

Hmmm — I never got to the third movie. Frankly, I thought the last book was drawn out — I can’t imagine how they turned that into four hours of film.

Gratliff

Do you like sad Jennifer Lawrence being sad? That’s how they did it. I’m almost willing to forgive the 2 hours of pretext from the first part of the finale for the sewer monster sequence alone, though.

Swimming is just the same thing over and over again. I mean how many different fucking ways do we need to have the 100m swim?

It would be like having a 110m dash, 110m hurdles, 110m dash backwards, 110m hurdles backward, and then just close it up with a 440m race with all four combined.

JustStopDude

You know…I never thought I would ever say this as a child of Baltimore, but if the Biscotti demanded a new stadium, I would cheer if the city told him to walk. I think its a combination of the concussions, seeing old heroes committing suicide rather than deal with the crippling physical and mental toll, and the utterly insane amounts of money these bastard billionaires get paid for just being rich and in the right place at the right time…

FUCKING HELL! Its hard to be a fan of this sport. These fuckers can literally get truck loads of cash handed to them from municipalities that can barely pay for basic services. I mean when you really think about it…we cheer for rich bastards getting richer.

I’m getting old and bitter…

Goodell has been through a lot. But this, fucking up the national first nite of football, is probably the thing that will bring him down, as fucked up as that would be. Apparently, he can blacklist a neuroscientist, but he can’t control the grass painters.

Boy, I really appreciated the NFL telling St. Louis to fuck off AGAIN today. I mean, it’s not like we were customers complaining about the product, or stealing, or any other reason for them to treat us this way. No, St. Louis just had our team leave. Los Angelinos, did you put up with this shit when the Rams came here? If so, I apologize.
Between the Rams’ brass shit-talking and this shit with Orlando Pace’s HOF speech, I don’t understand it. And, how exactly does the collection of losers and morons running the Rams get to talk shit? This incompetent collection of mouthbreathing lackwits ran the team into the ground to start with. When you’re demonstrably terrible at your job, you keep your mouth shut about things and keep your head down. Trust me, I’ve been terrible at many, many jobs, from Umpire to Red Lobster waiter to delivery truck driver. I know how to be terrible at something and be quiet.
This is like Colonel Sanders punching my mother in the mouth. I’ll still eat fried chicken, but I’ll be angry every time. While they couldn’t have done anything to get LESS money from me than they were going to get, holy hell guys, you won. You took your product out of my city. Leave us with a little pride.

“Now the guy’s got Paulie as a partner. Any problems, he goes to Paulie. Trouble with a bill, he can go to Paulie. Trouble with the cops, deliveries, Tommy, he can call Paulie. But now the guy’s got to come up with Paulie’s money every week. No matter what. Business bad? Fuck you, pay me. Oh, you had a fire? Fuck you, pay me. The place got hit by lightning, huh? Fuck you, pay me. Also, Paulie could do anything. Especially run up bills on the joint’s credit. And why not? Nobody’s gonna pay for it anyway. And as soon as the deliveries are made in the front door, you move the stuff out the back and sell it at a discount. You take a two hundred dollar case of booze and you sell it for a hundred. It doesn’t matter. It’s all profit. And then finally, when there’s nothing left, when you can’t borrow another buck from the bank or buy another case of booze, you bust the joint out. You light a match.”

Other people can give you that crap, but not Swedes.

When you show up in Spain or France, you should probably at least know how to order dinner.

But there are only 9.5 million Swedes and the only ones who ever leave are hockey players.

That beautiful English they speak is them making a necessary adaptation to their world, and there is no shame in your not having learned Swedish.

Oh, they were great people and never gave me the stinkeye for not knowing any Swedish. I mostly became self-conscious when they started a conversation in Swedish with me, which happened fairly often.

My Spanish if fucked up. I can’t wait to get to Spain next year. In high school I had 2 Cubans, a Puerto Rican, and an American as Spanish teachers. In college I had 2 Americans, a Uruguayan, and a Polish chick as professors. I didn’t use it for about 15 years until I became really good friends with an Argentinian and his Dominican wife. All of his friends are Latin but none of them are from the same place. Off the top of my head, there’s a dude from Belize who’s making it up as he goes, an Argentinian, a Peruvian couple, a Costa Rican couple, a Texican, and his wife’s Dominican family. The only time I really use Spanish is when I’m drunk and talking to a bunch of drunk Latinos.

My daughter is in a dual language immersion program, and I busted out the S-pan-yole when I met her first teacher. She was from Spain, and by the look on her face I can only imagine that I sounded like the Spanish equivalent of Georges St. Pierre trying to do an impression of Gucci Mane.
