Your Sunday Night Football Open Thread

My tv preview thingy tells me that this game is being shown on The NFL Network. This is the game that was chosen to be highlighted for the first Sunday-Nighter of the exhibition season? This game. This game? One of these teams doesn’t even exist!

Texans/49’ers-After getting kicked to the curb by the Eagles, (future-successful-college-coach that over-shot his talent) Chirp Kelly will attempt to weave his not-magic with the down-and-out San Franner’s. There’s a qb battle that he must decide between the likes of Kaep, Gabbert and the 16 yr-old that tosses the football (quite accurately, mind you) to the kid that runs the ball back to the field goal kicker as he practises his point-afters. Gabbert has a slight lead over the high-schooler. As far as the Texans are concerned, jump on Lamar Miller as soon as you can in your fantasy draft. Houston runs their rb’s into the ground with 300+ carries (see:Arian Foster) and if they have a modicum of talent (not looking at you, Alfred Blue) they tend to do well.

Well, that’s all I have for this game… what? Hold on, Salt N’ Pepa just called. They’re telling me that you commenters should, umm, PUSH IT REAL GOOD!

What’s the difference between a drummer and a savings bond?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Eventually a savings bond will mature and start earning money.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Let us not overlook Dookie.
(sometimes I think I’m funny…just ignore me)

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Is it time to bust out the drummer jokes?

How do you know when there’s a drummer at your door?

He doesn’t know when to come in.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Sad part…there’s only about half a dozen folks who are gonna get that.
But funny as fuck fwiw.
Never heard that one.

WCS

Well done.

Sill Bimmons

My favorite drummer list begins and ends with Tim “Herb” Alexander.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Nice. Seriously.

Porky Prime

The two greatest drummers ever.

FWIW, Buddy Rich should never not be mentioned.
My apologies.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

For tWBS and the other drummers, what do Ginger Baker and coffee have in common?

Mr. Ayo

Better without Cream?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

They both suck without Cream.

Mr. Ayo

That’s much better

theeWeeBabySeamus

Ok, gonna cut this short before I piss everyone off…

My 2nd favourite drummer…Tre Cool.
(don’t worry, it’s only a top three list…but this one could take awhile)
((but #3 is actually a tie so yeah, you’re all screwed))
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAX06-B6k28

herodotus450

Nobody tell him that the video is deleted, just act like we all watched it so we can move on to #3’s

theeWeeBabySeamus

Exactly what are you trying to say Jokey Von Smartypants?

herodotus450

I’m just eager to see #3 is all. Jon Bonham? Travis Barker? Meg White? Who will it be?

Sill Bimmons

He’s the only reason why you could even call Green Day music in the beginning.

I love that early stuff but it is NAWT an example of good musicianship.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yep, raw energy.
But not much arrangement. Totes agree.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

If it’s not a tie that includes Bonham and Moon, start the list over.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Love those guys, yes.
But no….the tie at #3 is Grohl/Hawkins

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Booooooooooooo. I love you, but you’re wrong. Grohl is amazing, but he goes behind Mitchell, too.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I can’t say you’re wrong.

theeWeeBabySeamus

But FWIW, I’m not saying “best”, just my personal favs.

WCS

Timeless looks like a large, steaming puddle of liquid dog poo.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I’ve heard good things about Jared Leto in Suicide Squad if it makes you feel any better.

...

Oh go fuck yourself Piscotty. Your team is still a shitty mess 12 games back in the division and you’re losing your mind over hitting a homerun that is basically you treading water.

Eugh. And you KNOW they flip shit when other teams show that emotion and call it showing them up. Fortunately, the Cubs aren’t petty like that.

...

Alright. I’m spent. I’ll save my disdain for September.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Dammit!!!! I knew I’d miss my window of opportunity.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Obviously you’re too busy being pissed about your baseball team to pay me any attention. I get it…trust me. Scroll back to earlier.
But I’ll keep dinner warm for you snookums.

I love my Cubs, but the US-Australia volleyball match is where it’s at right now.

If you all think I’m losing my shit, I’m like a malfunctioning x-ray machine next to a Fukushima-sized meltdown that is Cubs Twitter.

God, we’re fucking terrible.

We’re?

...

Cubs fans–myself included–are various degrees of fatalistic, tramuatized drama queens. You should hate us.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

OK, also I guess I hate it more when Pats fans, etc. use “we’re” like they had something to fucking do with a team’s success.

Oh, I hate the “we” when fans consider them a part of the team. I do my damnedest not to do that.

But “we” the fans I’m comfortable speaking for because I know my people.

Gay bar karaoke sounds amazing.

No, really, I bet it would be entertaining as hell. But only once.

Apparently, Dok Zymm had to rescue ICRM from some very interested suitors.
Somehow, I volunteered to go and occupy them for him next time.

I’m no homo, but when I watch some of these men gymnasts I sure would like to have sex with them.

But NOT in a gay way. I’ve been very clear about this.

...

I’d just want to touch them and be jealous of their crazy strong shoulders and abs. I’m not saying it would be sexual but I’m not saying it wouldn’t be either.

Not like any of you gives a shit, but this song (and this album) is what made me want to be a drummer.
And yes, I can still play this one perfectly (proved it to meself today in fact)…but it’s about the only one. Yes, I’m old.

Tom Sawyer is the song that made me want WeeBabySeamus to be a drummer.

It was also featured prominently in this highly disappointing game:

Goddamn it.

You know, I actually despise the Cardinals that I don’t even want to watch the Cubs play them. Sure, if they lose tonight they still have a huge lead over these scumbags and they’re a flawed team that will have to emerge from a scrum of five other flawed teams to even make the post-season, but…

…I can’t stand how much they like beating the Cubs. I just can’t. Their fucked-up little obsession with beating the better city with the terrible team to the north just gets under my skin. Get a real fucking rival you smug provel fuckers.

ArmedandHammered

Well, it is all they have till football season starts and they can start pulling for the Rams…. oh yeah…. I guess it is all they have.

...

They only slightly cared about the Rams. Those jort-wearing, Bud-chuggers are all about their baseball team and their tacky imitation “Ballpark Village” where they laughably try to make the doldrums that is downtown St. Louis into something remotely close to the authentic and organic community around Wrigley.

BUT NOOOOOO, your fascination with the Cubs not at ALL about insecurity and inferiority.

...

Teams without weird inferiority complexes have rivals who are equals. You think UNC and Duke give two shits about Clemson or Virginia Tech if they aren’t good? You think Alabama or Florida give two shits about Vanderbilt? No. I refuse to accept your rivalry, St. Louis. Fuck yourselves with a 600-foot arch.

Sill Bimmons

It’s like Flyers fans.

They haven’t been relevant since the mid 80s but they still think that the “rivalry” they have with the Penguins is a thing.

...

I don’t know much about that rivalry, but if they were equals at one time, you can still count it even if it’s basically dormant.

The Cubs and Cardinals have basically ZERO meaningful pennant races. Only 2003 springs to mind when both teams fought for the division. There is no meaningful rivalry beyond weird regional fixations.

I got into a tiff on Twitter with some Cardinals fans trolling Cubs fans who just keep repeating “it’s always been a rivalry!” without grasping WHY. It’s thing because it’s the only thing you can hold over Chicago. It’s why you fuckers treat Brock for Broglio as if it’s like the Red Sox giving away Ruth.

Sill Bimmons

The ticket to all your Cardinals schadenfreude:

http://deadspin.com/tag/st-louis-cardinals

...

It’s not enough. The only true satisfaction I’ll derive from Cardinal failure is if they’re terrible for so long that the Cubs can justify totally forgetting about them a meaningful to prove that their precious rivalry doesn’t exist.

Sill Bimmons
...

I will put my hate for the St. Louis Cardinals up against anyone’s hate of another team anywhere in the world. I can make a point-by-point rational case of why you too should hate the Cardinals, their fans, their front office, and the culture. NO ONE DENIES I AM RIGHT ABOUT THIS.

Sill Bimmons

I’m a Pirates fan.

You’re preaching to the choir.

...

See, the Pirates would actually be a more meaningful rival for them recent decades of futility not withstanding.

But they don’t wish they were Pittsburgh, they wish they were Chicago, so…

...

And Wilbon is being a shithead on Twitter about this comparing this to the 2010 Bears who couldn’t eliminate the Packers.

THIS IS NOTHING LIKE THAT YOU FUCKING ORAL FART FACTORY.

The girl I am seeing counted all the drinks I had last night working backward from the last one…

Just learned Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright runs a 20-team fantasy football league, which pisses me off because anyone who runs a league that big deserves some of my respect and I refuse to accept I can find anything respectable about that gross little franchise.

Unsurprised

It’s easy to manage a 20-team league when he doesn’t do any real work.

ALXMAC

I just signed up for Sills’ “DFO2” FFL; I’ve never been in a LG with more than 14 teams (which was crazy) so 20 seems certifiable. On the flip side, 1/3 of the participants in any LG will be deadbeat owners, so maybe overbooking it makes more sense.

Sill Bimmons

Only a couple people deadbeated last year.

I’m hoping the same holds for the new league.

Doktor Zymm

So, while I have been a fan of the Phryne Fisher TV series for as long as I’ve known it’s existed, I’ve only (in the past few days, and aided by being laid up by a rather painful and debilitating infection) recently started reading the books. For some reason the first three books are $9.99 while the rest are $4.99 in Kindle edition, so I started with 4 and am only on 6 (I read fast, but was distracted by being ill and playing Tropico). I will eventually go back and read the first three, but since I’m already familiar with the plots and characters, haven’t quite felt the need to go in order.
Anyway, I’m kind of pissed off that I’m not a rich adventuress in 1920’s Australia. It seems like a lot of fun, the clothes sound amazing, no one has ever made me scones when I’ve had a bad day, and even if I do get my pilot’s license some day, it’s unlikely anyone will ever refer to me as an aviatrix. Bah. I’m going back to my couch.

Unsurprised

You just had to visit the Bucs’ locker room, didn’t you?

Doktor Zymm

Nah, this infection isn’t antibiotic resistant, I’m just too lazy/stubborn to go get antibiotics.

Not watching the game, haven’t read back in the liveblog, but this seems like an appropriate Sunday Night game to me. We really need to know if the 49rs have any shot of beating an imaginary team in an exhibition game so we can plan our football watching and fantasy drafting accordingly.

I’m glad I’m working nights because like this game, I am reminded thanks to you find folks that every prime time football game is hot garbage.
