Can the football just happen already? No? Guh! I’ll go off on a different tangent. Okay. I’ll say it. You guys are great. I’m interested in 75 to 80% of what you yak about because of your interests outside The Football and your Not-Insane postings about football/your team. You’ve daily re-enforced the notion that I should not take this stupid game *too* seriously and for that I’m grateful. Tell me what you’ve done today or are about to do. Myself and others are Curious Yellow.*

My wife and I refer to Quantico as “Sex Academy”. We both agree that Priyanka Chopra is crazy smoking hot.
You’re wife too?
That’s hawt…
Texas learned how to score points. Fuck.
Why is Notre Dame still rotating their QBs?
Zaire knows where some bodies are buried??
The Stillers have traded for Justin Gilbert in an attempt to out-Barkevious teh Pats:

I HAVEN’T SEEN LONGHORN’S STIFFING THE IRISH THIS HARD SINCE THEY SAID THEY COULDN’T SET UP BAR TABS THERE.
I’m about to see Prophets of Rage. If you don’t hear from Internet Dad again, I’m in jail and need bail.
Jealous. Enjoy the show!
Thanks man – they were great! Highly recommended!
Hey! Shouldn’t there be a True Detective season going on right now?
“Westworld” looks to be their prestige entry of the autumn. Great cast, hope it’s not poop.
Hmm, never heard of it before, or the book it is based on. Was Michael Crichton molested at an amusement park or something?
Jesus, Notre Dame’s secondary is trash.
That’s Touchdown Jesus to you.
dunno why the Irish nevar seem to expect that play to be run again, but glad for slow larnin’ curve
Folks!
WOO not Notre Dame!
it’s like, my 2nd alma mater!!
Second half of football will feature the Keyser Soze’s of Texas vs. the Dean Keaton’s of Notre Dame

Anyone have any wonderful plans tomorrow? I expect to try to relax and avoid human contact right up until a family member decides their failure to plan should be an emergency for me. So, pretty much nothing out of the ordinary.
Only thing I’m doing is daydrinking and fish tacos.
Yeah, my most common defenses against the above is get drunk early or hide out at the golf course with phone turned off.
Huzzah, less evil JV NFL squadron!!

I presume that’s the soon to be former? RG 1 1/2? Timings good seeing as the money spigot is getting turnt off.
The only question left is who gets to keep the fan-bought wedding presents
Well at least he has his own Mistake by the Lake.
Hey babe…I got good news and bad news. Ok, bad first. I’ve been having an affair. I’m so sorry.
Oh god! I don’t know what to say. I…I…wha…what’s the good news?
I got another gig! We’re going to Cleveland!
Fuck you. HALF EDDIE!!!
WHA’ HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME LATELY??
I made a LOT of cocktails last night, not sure I have an appetite for more tonight. What are the rest of you drinking?
Ballast Point Scottish Ale.
I haven’t seen that one. How is it?
It’s okay. A pretty big step down from Old Chubb, but certainly potable.
Guinness
I’ve had 2 manhattans. Debating on if I want another.
Yes
Well, can’t argue with that logic.
Clears until after Labor Day.
Treehouse Haze

Zero fucks given.
Liquid fuckin’ sunlight bruh!

I’ve given up liquor for at least the time being. But Vodka is/was my go to.
A bottle of cote du Rhone, a lovely French red. Had enough beer for the moment. I’ll switch back when I feel the need to do shots.
All week I heard about this storm in NY. Where the hell is it?
Been watching football for 8 hours so far this season, already want to kill myself instead of watching one more commercial. IF YOUR UNDERWEAR HAS TO BE DRY CLEANED I’M NOT GOING TO BUY IT!
I HAVEN’T SEEN A FOREMAN RUN OVER SOMEBODY LIKE THIS SINCE….

That is superb.
“I’d buy that for a dollar!”
Hot taek: 5 yards is (almost) never worth the timeout you use to avoid a delay of game penalty
Punting also sucks.
http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stat-analysis/2006/never-punting
Somewhat long and stat intensive, but interesting if you can get thru it.
Sup GREGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
You only get 3 timeouts per half, so as long as you gain more than 15 yards per half it’s not worth it. The numbers speak for themselves

So we’re doing Jack Reacher again?
Was this something the world was asking for?
I actually asked for Taken 45….or is it 46 now?
When they get to 50 they’re going to just call it “The Taken.”

Thanks for your interest in my life, scotchy. I woke up at the asscrack of dawn to debut in an over 30 baseball game. Unrelated, I’m currently icing my back.
“Icing my back” sounds like a hazing ritual Matt Leinert would institute on newly drafted skill players.
That drop is what I imagine point shaving looks like.
I can honestly say that, outside of Penn State, no JV side has primary uniform colours any uglier than these two. A true mortal sin against STYLE.
I feel the need to toss Oregon in the ring.
But since their cheerleaders look way not bad in the colors, I’ll relent.
I don’t know what you’re watching but my counterpoint is Maryland
No meteor yet, huh?
I’ll always have the tiniest shred of respect for the UT system because their law school wouldn’t admit George W. Bush.
what a fookin’ catch by NOT NOTRE DAME WOO!!!
They’ve started locking out university faculty:
http://www.eschatonblog.com/2016/09/the-worst-people-in-world.html
If this happens at a school that actually matters it could change higher education permanently and much for the worse.
Holy shit that’s a dangerous ass precedent to set.
They don’t even have a $100 Million endowment yet, of course they can’t pay faculty!
And they’re basically GIVING an education away at only 34k tuition per year plus fees.

I think it was Ingmar Bergmann who directed the film Scotchy made reference to.
I washed the batmobile today and grilled the za’atar chicken and made some yogurt garlic sauce, red onion relish and homemade hummus.
Watched the Cubbies walk off against the Giants to finish a 6-1 homestand against what were supposed to be 2 NL powerhouses SF and Pittsburgh and now I’m just sipping some brews and chilling the fuck out.
You could say today was a good day.
Wow.
You people are going to go into lightspeed past SAWX fans if you actually pull this off.
Dude I’m a life long Cubs and Vikings fan I need a moment.
I’m sure the Cubs will find a way to self destruct spectacularly. It’s in my team’s DNA.
It’s just funny and you can’t tell me it isn’t true.
About Cubs fans, anyway.
As for the Vikings part–dude, that just sucked. I always liked Teddy Bridgewater and hoped he’d stick his thumb in the eyes of some obnoxious Packers fans. Hope he can turn it back around when he gets better.
I do too. He just seems like such a good kid.
And we had a high of 72 with a light offshore breeze.
See above.

Well, at least I’ll get to see some sad cowboys.
I’m not sure if I’m rooting against Notre Dame here because their coach is literally culpable for the death of a student or because the institution willfully ignored rape allegations against a football player so completely that the only way the case got any actual attention was after the victim had committed suicide.
If you’re rooting against college teams with rape allegations, just turn on college water polo right now.
I am sure the water polo teams are just as rapey, it’s just easier to sweep under the rug when it isn’t football
Little column A, Little column B?
Yes.
Added a little too much mayo in the lobster roll. Still doesnt suck.
“Doesn’t suck” is just a code word for “elite”.
Aww man, I just made the Joe Flacco of lobster rolls.
Joe Flacco’s Fathead says this in a giant voice bubble.
I hate all seafood, but it has always seemed like a waste to me to cover lobster meat with mayo.
Just saw a preview for a new sitcom. “Kevin Can Wait” looks like a wiener.
You spelled “abortion” wrong.
Out of morbid curiosity I went and looked it up. Why is the woman from Children’s Hospital his wife? I thought she was his kid at first. Dying your hair an unnatural color doesn’t mask the 30 year age difference. Also, getting past that it looks terrible.
Oh, I get it, it’s a play on “heaven can wait”. Very amusing.
Holy shit that looks awful. How does Kevin James still keep getting work?
Because Trump voters.
I still can’t remember which of you were talking up “You’re the Worst” the other day, but it is an excellent show and I thank you for it.
I may have mentioned it a couple times. That show is awesome.
I’ve mentioned it a time or two meself.
What did I do today? I worked until 3, then got lobsters and proceeded to make lobster rolls for dinner tonight. While wielding a chef knife I made sure to have a manhattan by my side.
When you said “wielding a chef knife” and “Manhattan” I thought you were going to make some kind of joke about Fitzpatrick Bateman.
Damnit! Obvious joke is obvious.
I cleaned out my kitchen cupboards and refrigerator, and I mean thoroughly.
In addition to realizing that I have 7 different kinds of mustard on hand, I threw out an unopened box of healthy bran cereal that had expired in 2010. I also organized all the spices alphabetically and by container shape & style.
This is the most exciting thing that happened to me this weekend.
I’m currently engaged in a project to clear out my freezer by eating everything in it. Last night I had some falafel and some corn! Tonight we’ll be having tater tots.
I drafted a stupid demand letter for a stupid client who doesn’t actually want what he insists on demanding. I hope he gets it and is exactly as fucked as I’ve told him he will be.

There is absolutely nothing on, so I’m watching NASCAR. I may either 1) fall asleep or 2) turn the TV off and watch a DVD of Deadpool.
Which one will happen first? STAY TUNED!
So this morning I did my weekly brunch with my mom so I don’t have to deal with her calling me all the time saying I don’t love her. I brought my dog because he likes hanging out with my moms dog. On the way home I stopped to pick up soda. I parked in the spot you can see from inside the store so my pup would be able to see me other than the 15 seconds I wasn’t visible through the door. 3 min total for the shopping. I get outside to get lectured by some random 50 year old white woman about how I am mistreating my dog, and I am a terrible person. I do the normal “yes ma’am” through the rant while her husband looks at me apologetically. I explain my car was heavily air conditioned and it is maybe 70 out today. She responds with I am gonna call the police if I ever see you mistreat your dog like this again. So I got to scream “Fuck you bitch” at someone not sarcastically today but it happened 5 hours ago and I am still angry at her and I never really get angry. I’ll admit to bitching too much, but I never get really angry. I hate her and hope she dies. My dad had a heartwarming reply when I talked about it before. “She’ll probably get breast cancer and die anyways, let it go”
It’s always nice when you can say “Fuck you bitch!” on a holiday weekend.
Well at least you didn’t call her a cunt. Women, even old as fuck women turn into estrogen fueled death-bots when you use that.
Something about that word that brings out the Terminator in them.
I think I could have gotten away with a cunt if I wanted. I am mild mannered most of the time but my actually mad yelling voice is scary as shit.
The word that used to set my mom off was “dildo”. Back when we were kids and didn’t know what the word actually meant we’d call each other dildos sometimes and man would she get furious.
