Chargers/Vikes-I just get the irrational feeling that San Diego should do better than the 4-12 mark (victories over the likes of the Lions, Browns, Jags and Dolphins) they posted last year. I guess they just stopped believing, which was one of the few things they did stop last year.
As far as Minny is concerned, they will not be dressing Matt Kalil who will never, ever be confused with Khalil Mack. Ever.
Well, that’s it. It doesn’t get much lazier than this. Enjoy the game (or games, not sure if I’ll be posting another open thread or attending yet another family function later on today. That’s three in four days for those of you not counting.
Undo whatever you just clicked DTZM! Thumbs up without knowing who gave you one is not nearly as cool as the “this is great” system
Yes.^^^^^^

Just for the record I am trying to find flaws in the new commenting system now by troubleshooting it as much as I can on multiple devices because I actually find that fun. It is not some white hot hate for the new format… other than this new font. Which is only really bad on my giant monitor. Not a fan of it on other devices, I do get why they went with it. It’s clean.
Got a favorite font? Also, this goddamned nested replies thing is about to drive me nuts.
I don’t know, one of the default Sans Serif ones. Whatever we had before was great.
I feel like Wingdings is drastically underrepresented in the online community

Yup. So was Eddie House.
This is all so new. I was able to like things twenty minutes ago, but now no bum slaps or waytogos.
You have to refresh the page
This is just a test comment.
Other text
I wasn’t sure if manual hitting enter page breaks were working. Just checking. I had a comment earlier all jam into one paragraph and not having that ability without inserting html is a pain.

God, I love the replies to that Jill Stein tweet about Harambe. She is truly the hungriest attention whore.
That’s a bold statement. There are so many attention whores out there, all with voracious attention appetites.
I feel bold today. Probably because I now have a little button next to my comment box that enables me.
Edit: PLUS NOW I CAN EDIT!!! WOOOOOOOOO!
With these new settings are we going to get too big for our britches? Kinda like the Jeffersons?
my beans will ALWAYS burn in the kitchen ,, imo godbless
So, should I hate watch the VMAs? I’m fairly certain I will have no idea who 90% of the presenters and artists are.
italicize “artists” PLEAZ
Let me see.
(Searches VMA)
(Sees 2 Chainz get a nomination)
I know it’s just preseason, but the Vikings’ defense looks scary.
Also, I love the color change for read/unread comments. That’s awesome.
Why can I NAWT liek new comments such as the good Doktor’s?
No, you’re not awesome!
[worries that his pick up game needs refining]
It’s the pregnancy test of comment threads.
Mostly love the new comment format, one negative, it seems that comments over a certain length get truncated and given a “read more” link. This would be fine, except clicking the “read more” link reloads the whole page and sets you back at the start of the comments, so you have to scroll down and find the comment you were trying to read more of.
Let’s pretend that never happened.
See you give Zymm a modicum of power and now she’s the rose-stained carpet queen of DFO.
PRO TIP: Nevar drink anything whilst reading Buddy’s posts.
Hey guys, everybody give a big refresh and the replies should line up right. Let me know if they’re not. You’re the best/worst QA team ever.
Still not working after 4-5 refreshes. And you can say you are the best/MTWV QA team ever. I know I am the worst.
Dammit, it was working. Hold please.
As it is, if you go to sort by oldest, it goes top-bottom. So the individual threads are in good order, but the newest posts are at the bottom.
Vice versa, if you go by newest, the posts work but the threads are also in order of newest first.

(just don’t refresh)
As far as the new format is concerned, I feel it’s like the ending of the “Master and Commander” movie. There’s some folks that are in charge that we implicitly trust but we don’t know where the hell they’re/we’re going.

Acch! This comes across as negative. That wasn’t my intent.
It just made me want to go look for my DVD to watch it in between games
Oh boy.

I believe we’ve all accepted the fact that Jill Stein has lost her fucking mind.
Attention whores gonna attention whore.
So are the announcers of these games told to be apologists for these bullshit stadium deals or are they just doing it because they’re sycophants?
Yes
Just think of all the jobs!!!!! On 8 weekends out of 52.
Excuse you sir, 10 weekends.
Booom
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch of fucking idiots.
Whoa this is some dope new commenting.
I somewhat miss the day of liveblogging and trying like Hell just to get one comment into the fray.
it’s impossible not to eat the whole bag of Cape Cod Waffle Cut Sea Salt chips once opened, right?? Not just me?

I am pretty sure this applies to those delicious sounding chips too

Dying alone is way under-rated as far as I’m concerned.
Checking the mobile version. Posts display a bit weirdly when compressed onto a small screen but everything seems to function well enough.
Counterpoint, replies to specific comments line up from newest to oldest instead of the logical way of keeping them in the order they were posted.
I noticed this when I reloaded the page and I have to say I’m not a fan.
Yeah I’m wrestling that one right now.

Ooooh that does suck subtle balls. It looks nice though. Shiny too!
(Seriously, just for thread integrity I prefer in order posted.)
Fixed.
So far, I liking these comments section enhancements.
My comment from 2 min ago wants to fight yours. Me and you are cool, just the comments will fight, we could go get a beer while they were at it.
reads fuckin’ great FOAR ME
Also, I love the work you put into the site, not a fan at all of the new formatting for the comments. Font is hard to read. It looks like it should be one of the fonts used by programmers because they want letters to be exactly the same width for keeping shit lined up, but it doesn’t even have that going for it. And are we gonna have to html images in now or why is that an option.
Images should work the same.

Is it me or did Kyle Rudolph get worse!?
“Kyle Rudolph is still in the league? WTF!”
-Kyle Rudolph’s mom
And they’re replacing Wallace with Charles Johnson!? Damnit Vikings, you had ONE job!
Fox Announcers: This new Vikings stadium is so great!
Field: *starts eating players*
First. I need to preface I wasn’t drunk, drinking but not drunk, I would be the first to admit if this was a drunk thing. (if you need numbers, like 1/3 of what I normally drink, and over 15 hours instead of 4-5)
I am pretty sure I sleepwalked into the shower at some point last night. My shirt is wet like i was in a rainstorm but my pants aren’t. I am thinking what happened was is I got up but not awake because my room was too hot. Opened a window, lost my pants, put on my shirt, went to take a shower while forgetting to take my shirt off, got out of the shower, left my drenched shirt on the floor and put on my pants. I have sleepwalked in the past and it always is like I get most of the stuff I do right but some things just off.
I’m aghast at the idea that you put your pants back on like some kind of prude.
Un-fucking-believable! How does he live with himself?
OK, I have to vent a little. For the last 4 years, I’ve had my main fantasy draft at Dave and Busters. They had a $200 minimum food and drink buy, gave us a 10% discount on food/drinks, free wifi, free draft kit with stickers and shit, and it was great. This year, they raised the minimum buy to $500 DOLLARS. That seems crazy for a fantasy football party, right?
That’s $50 a person for a 10-team league and a little more than $40 for a 12-team one. In Chicago I can spend that much on 3-4 beers and an entree, but that’s at city prices buying higher-end beer and includes a pretty good tip.
So I’d say it’s too high but I’d actually say $200 is too low.
We generally spent $350-400 total.
$41.6666666667 per person? Entry? You might as well be having the draft at a strip club in Vegas.
10 guys fifty bucks each or 12 at $41? That’s a night out for one guy, right? You did well in the past as far as I’m concerned.
That is indeed crazy. Unless you also get unlimited games and free rein of the prize booth, then it might be worth it.

The league should flag the ground…
What the fuck?!?
Since you people are my fucked up version of a support group, I have been awake for two and some odd hours. Rather than eat breakfast, I made hot dogs on the grill, thus fulfilling the “food” and “lunch” obligations… I can start drinking now, right?
My weekend has largely been recovering from an unexpected hangover and eating random things that don’t involve actual food preparation so…
Yes. Just like work, the earlier you start – the earlier you finish.
I don’t think you know me just yet…. that rule does not apply for me with drinking.
So No? I admit that I’m projecting, as I’m already 2 sheets and my main FF draft is in 4 hours. At least you ate “food”.
Oh, I started; I just won’t finish any earlier unless I run out of booze and forget to call for a ride to resupply.
I was struck with the sudden inspiration this morning to write a spook of The Presidents of the U.S.A.’s Lump about Trump but I’m finding it more challenging of a spoof than I expected.
If this isn’t stuck in your head immediately upon hearing the first few bars, well, I’m not sure if I know you.

I’m trying, but it KILLS the loading of the page. Just fucking kills it.
No worries. I can handle clicking out into a new tab, just wondered.
I may revisit it and cut the number of comments shown on each page.

The whole “two-click” thing?
Yep, that and if you don’t do the second click and start typing away the screen scrolls wildly and hungover Spanky gets lost and nauseous. *uurp*
I’m sure I’ll get used to it though.

Is anybody else squicked out by the old “Can you hear me now” guy doing a sprint commercial?
I am, although I miss the days when companies had to be all coy about the competition they were accusing of being shit-sucking swine.
Is noon a good time for a sleep-away-the-hangover nap?
Probably, but then again, I fell asleep at 5 AM. Noon seemed like a fine time to wake up.

How dumb is it to call a show about disputing each other UNDISPUTED
I think the name “Shallow race baiting shithead and mumble mouth” was too long…
I want to watch football at home. My son wants me to join him at the lake. Stupid kid has obviously never listened to “Cat’s In The Cradle”.
Motherfucker made me listen to Harry Chapin this early in the day…
What a shock…the announcers towed the official line on Bosa…this young man is making a huge mistake…he needs to do what is right…
Never mentions the simple fact that the Chargers are being fucking cheap as shit.
This is the same announcing team that openly lauded the NFL’s efforts to “study” concussions.
Hey, when are they gonna put Bosa in? I mean, they drafted him and it’s impossible not to sign players anymore, so where is he?
Pam Oliver looks like she was out all night doing “viking stuff” in the wilds of Minnesota.
Yup. Still stupid.
But in an endearing way.
/definitely not in a “Fox News” way
New open thread?
http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/2013/07/4.gif
Cool.
Bridgewater just juked the bananas out of a defender.
Isn’t it nice how like every 20 minutes, the announcers mention the beautiful new 1.2 billion dollar stadium…never mentioning who fucking paid for it.
Because it’s a given?
