Your “Finally! The Damn Exhibition Season Is About To Come To An End!” Thursday Night Football Open Thread

Judging by the response folks around here had of the game last night, this Week 4 slate is not football fan-friendly at all. No starters worth their salt/guaranteed contract are going to play for any length of time, if at all. I thought perhaps of running down various position battles up for grabs but fans of that specific team are already in the know and not-fans couldn’t be less interested if the sayyyy….wily veteran manning the left guard spot for The Whomevers is going to hold off the small college 5th round pick.

Look, if we watch at all, it’s to see if there are any injuries that might screw up our team’s chances. Or better yet, severely undermine a hated rival’s chances of being competitive. (Hey, Cowboys Fans!) Week 4 of the the preseason is a lot like NASCAR is all the time. Yuck. So here are tonight’s games-

Giants vs. Pats vs. Jets vs. Eagles vs. Who? vs. Cowboys vs. Jags vs. Falcons vs. Bills vs. Lions vs. Titans vs. Dolphins vs. Colts vs. Bengals vs. Steelers vs. Panthers vs. Browns vs. Bears vs. Ravens vs. Saints vs. Packers vs. Chiefs vs. Rams vs. Vikings vs. Broncos vs. Cards vs. Seahawks vs. Raiders vs. 49ers vs. Chargers.

Now Let’s Go Out There And Tolerate These Sports Matches!

Spur

App State shooting themselves in the foot

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Via Rich Cimini:

“Jets rookie QB Christian Hackenberg has 26 attempts and 33 passing yards. Don’t know if I’ve ever seen that before.”

Unsurprised

I feel like a piece of shit.

Spur

Butch Jones is a combination of Houston Nutt and Ed Orgeron.

Redshirt

I still haven’t forgiven him for leaving UC before a bowl game. I can understand Brian Kelly leaving early for Notre Dame; its a once in a lifetime job. But Jones leaving early for Tennessee was a weasel move.

The sailor singing the anthem at the Chargers game was clearly a Petty Officer First Class, not a Chief Petty Officer First Class (on the stadium P.A.) or a Chief Petty Officer (on NFL Network).

You’d think people would actually care to notice the difference during Military Application Night.

Unless of course, it’s just blatent lip service that means nothing.

Pffft. Lip service from The Shield? Never

Man, if you can’t get that right on Military Appreciation Night at a stadium in a city that is basically a huge military base during the most watched National Anthem of the week, it makes me wonder what else the NFL fucks up.

Kap: “I wore wear my pig cop socks before I sat down for the Anthem.”

Oh, well then that’s entirely different.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

I’m just glad the fans didn’t boo during the anthem like I expected.

...

I hope he continues trolling everyone all season. He has a special ability to piss people off and I hope he doesn’t waste it.

Unsurprised

This is what disappoints me so much about Cam Newton. White people, especially old dickhead sports writers, already despise him for being black. He was also doing a great job of not giving a fuck or outright antagonizing them until the SB loss broke him. Then he goes All Lives Matter and I am one of those people who sees no value in it. They’ll never not hate him, so why give in even an inch?

...

I’m thinking it’s an endorsement deal thing.

“Great ball handling”

YES! TOUCHDOWN! NO OVERTIME! PRESEASON IS ALMOST OVER!

They should’ve sued gawker instead.

Considering the contempt we hold for the NFL, just imagine the NFL if it did all the same shady shit it does (ignore its players’ criminal activity, diverted resources away from the public to fund stadiums, etc.) but decided not to pay its players anyone and you pretty much have NCAA football.

King Hippo

yeah, the chucklefucks that run that are criminal almost beyond imagination

Spur

That missed PAT from App State could be costly.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Well missed pats at Penn State proved really costly.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Immediately after photo she went to the same surgeon that “fixed” JPP’s hand.

JustStopDude

Pitch #2- Everyone loves “Murder She Wrote”. Its a wonderful procedural with a fantastic leading lady. Helen Mirren, plays “Gloria Jacobs”…as the international best selling murder mystery author who solves crimes in her spare time. Wherever Gloria goes, a murder goes down…and the smart lady beats all the odds by routinely solving the mystery and putting the bad guy away.

Halfway through season two, Special Agent Bobby James (Forest Whitaker) arrives in the small Maine coastal town that Gloria calls home. To the minor annoyance of Maine locals, and local bumbling sheriff (John Goodman) who depends on Gloria solving these crimes, Special Agent James starts asking questions.

The second to last episode of the second season climaxes with the Sheriff discovering Gloria in the mist of brutally disposing of the body of Special Agent James. It turns out that Gloria knew exactly who the killer was the entire time…and it…was…her.

At the local jail, Gloria proceeds to explain how each and every murder was performed. How each and every one was a thing of beauty. Each one a careful, complex setup to make sure that no one would every expect the same woman was always around countless murders. And she explains this…the same way you or I discuss unclogging a toilet. Pure…unadulterated…and complete inhuman description. We see flash backs and relive each murder throughout the season.

The last episode deals with the massive fallout. Countless innocent victims are being released. We see Gloria, in a “Hannibal Lector” mask being led away to a mental hospital.

The final shows ends with the sheriff completely destroyed. Everything he knows is gone. Right and wrong mean nothing. Unknowingly, he was part of this monstrous, destructive cycle with numerous victims. He sits in bed, he wife trying to show support when the phone rings. He holds it to his ear for a moment…and just slowly lets it hit the bed.

“Honey….what is it?”

“Gloria…she….um…she escaped”

/Fade to black.

Redshirt

Uh… wow. Copywrite that now. That may be worth some money.

JustStopDude

It would never work. It requires an amazing set of writing and a commitment from a studio. Great actors. Basically everything that “Breaking Bad” had…but there is no initial kick. You have to hope you land a good procedural with no one having any idea where it will go.

And Helen Mirren is fucking required. I would literally crawl across glass just to have a sit down with her at an cafe in Rome and just pick her brain.

Unsurprised

He did as soon as he posted it.

(This is your IP law nugget of the day)

Redshirt

Alright, Bengals. Don’t kick a field goal. Touchdown or loss. No OT!

Spur

I know its the SEC network, but can the announcers continue to suck UT off some more?

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

You’re watching the Sucking Everyone’s Cock network too? I thought you had to pay extra for that!

King Hippo

Jared Goff also looks like a piece of shit, but in his defense it’s probably pretty hard to quarterback when you can’t really breathe

Spur

Butch Jones at the half: “This is the thanks I get for keeping you assholes out of jail!”

Boy howdy, does that SEC East look like a bag of shit…AGAIN

Today I saw a pickup truck with a huge confederate flag in the back. I wanted to follow that truck, pull that racist, piece of shit, redneck, dickcheese, peckerwood, asshole out of the car by his greasy mullet and pound his fucking face into the gravel.

I didn’t do that. But I wished hateful shit on him. Fucking asshole.

Sharkbait

He’s flying a flag used in an ACTUAL REBELLION against the United States. He probably thinks not standing for the anthem is a sign of treason.

King Hippo

Hey, my country RIGHT OR WRONG, unless, you know, they go around saying I can’t own black ppl

jjfozz

I’ve seen him around town twice already and it fills me with hateful rage. Like I’m running low on that.

If I ever seen that truck parked, I’m slashing the tires. Fuck it, I can afford a lawyer.

The only place a Confederate Flag is needed is:

– in a museum.
– Confederate Veteran Memorial
– a Confederate Veteran’s grave

1st is obvious. 2nd and 3rd is for respect for the dead and those who forget about history will be doomed to repeat it.

Interesting. I made a statement earlier about every person in my life who contains estrogen was a huge pain in my ass. I then got yelled at in stereo, but I was laughing my ass off and didn’t actually hear what was being yelled.

Hopefully this means it won’t be my Hogs losing to a team they have no business losing to this year.

TV Show Pitch 1:

Reality TV is still sort of hot. Pros- Super cheap as long as the lawyers make good release forms and everyone signs them.

We have an island. Cameras everywhere. Little or no interaction with the outside world.

Its nothing but people from Reddit. Its /r/redditisland…in real life. Will it be a libertarian paradise? How will 200 neckbeards function as a coherent social group?

As corporate tie ins, participants must complete challenges for cheetos, slimjims, and 15 minute blocks of internet access.

Gotta get Mountain Dew and DragonDildos.com in on this, then.

Can we monetize the shit out of this website so none of us ever have to work again? I’d be up for whatever if we can make that happen.

Apps and ownership will do it. Most of us don’t have the latter and hopefully the site won’t have the former.

Redshirt

Or Ads. Maybe charge people for use of an edit button.

We have at least three good prime time TV shows and a decent movie script from the lot of us.

There is NO WAY we are shittier than NBC at writing TV programs.

While I don’t get paid much of anything for my scribbling, I will gladly donate some of what I laughingly call “artwork” to make that happen.

Actually, if we know anyone who can make a mobile phone app, we could probably make a decent one out of a few of the dumbshit characters we’ve created here. Just a quick “change the names to protect the guilty” thing and we’re golden.

I tried listening to that Tomi Lahren Kapernick diatribe that Deadspin posted, and I made it maybe halfway, just about to the point where she decided to misunderstand that “oppression” doesn’t always mean someone drags you out behind a barn and shoots you, before I had to shut it down.

Listening to this entitled airhead should be a new drinking game.

Good lord, I listened to it and needed to wash my ears out with turpentine. It’s a shame that someone that hateful also turned out to be so goddamn hot. She’s on the short list of 2016’s most terrible people for sure.

JustStopDude

I’ve tried to explain this to friends and colleagues…in a lot of ways, I prefer people to be open and racist as shit. Let me know exactly where you stand and I will do the same.

Its the people that try to make it palatable that I cannot stand.

Oh, I fully understand your stance, and support it. I don;’t care if she’s racist as shit, she’s just shrill and stupid. I don’t need to hear any more of her dumb shit.

“Pssst… Tomi, hey Tomi? You are aware the police has been pretty crappy to all races recently?”

I will be honest, I record every interaction I have with the cops when I get pulled over (Yes, I do look like my avatar racially) partially because I am an asshole libertarian, but if you think blacks are the only people who have issues with policing you are dreaming.

She’s incredible. The Ann Coulter cloning/genetic engineering experiments have turned out even better than anyone could have imagined.

I flipped over to BattleBots real quick and saw some image of the seeding.

It makes no sense. They have top seeds facing top seeds right away. Who is running this fake league? The NBA?

Shogun Marcus

It’s the finals. Was 32.

JustStopDude

By why don’t they re-seed?

Or is this like college football and the seeding before the first game of the year? Where it means fuck all.

Shogun Marcus

The latter.
