Your “WHAT TIME IS IT?!?!” Thursday Night Football Open Thread

YEEEAAAHHHHH BOOOYYYEEEEE! I AM SO FREAKIN’ PUMPED FOR THIS GAME! (it’s midnight somewhere, right?) And I don’t even have a dog in this fight. I imagine Bronc/Panthers fans have spent the day peeling themselves from various ceilings much to the consternation of their co-workers/loved ones/friends. I liken this feeling to when I was younger and anticipated playing in a championship baseball or basketball game-giddy and excited and revelling in the anticipation itself.

Sure there’s a shit-ton of detritus that surrounds the sport and there’s no need for me to go on about it here. We tackle that shit on an on-going basis the same way that a certain coach from Kansas City tackles the “All You Can Eat And Rub On Your Face Innards Special” at The Offal House. There’s…Just…Something…About…This…Game. Whatever it may be, it is my master tonight. TO THE GAME!

Panthers/Broncos: There’s tons of hand-wringing out there in Denver fandom about this Siemian fella. The qb’s CV is thinner than the audience at an “Anne Coulter Appreciation Night”. He’s got all of three quarters of exhibition play under his not-onion belt. No one seems to know anything solid about his arm strength but he is said to be a fan of the slant route but crap, what qb in the league isn’t? Kubiak, a big fan of the Northwestern grad, and the coaching staff will do their best to keep Trevor (Trevor? Who names their kid Trevor?) out of 3rd and long spots because that talented Panther lb crew will be jumping those slant routes looking for an easy pick-six. In useless stat news, Denver has won 15 of their last 16 home openers.

Possessor of 16 career sacks, dt Kawaan Short is only 121.5 short of the record at his position. My money says he doesn’t get it tonight. Cam has a paltry 11.1 QBR vs. Denver in two meetings and Von Miller aims to drive that rating down even lower. In related news, Michael Oher’s ears are burning. Wr’s Funchess and Benjamin have to be the biggest pair in the league, right? No, I don’t acknowledge the existence of one year wonder Ted Ginn Jr., thanks for not asking. Both teams are relatively injury-free right now although I just learned that wr Bennie Fowler is out. Thing is, I don’t know which team he plays for.

And there you have it-one of the most comprehensive, salient, insightful game intros that you’ve ever just read. Of course you’re welcome! NOW LET’S TEAR THIS PLACE UP!*

 

*in an orderly, respectful manner

Peyton’s had to refuse 3 of Cris’s sexual advances and 5 chances to do shots with Al.

...

Cris: “Come on. Just the tip. It still counts for me.”

MikeWallaceAndGromit

Fuck yyoooouuuuuuu Michaels!

theeWeeBabySeamus

They not booing. They’re chanting “Elway”.

jjfozz

Al is tripping balls

ThursdaySkyGoddess

Dreamboat isn’t allowed near the team now right? Because if NBC brings him in the booth for Collinsworth to suck him off as well, I’m setting fire to something.

fleshwound_NPG

Injured Cam and a Northwestern QB fucking shit up. Welcome back, Thursday Night NFL shitfests

Redshirt

I sacrifice Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth to summon Peyton Manning in Commentary Mode!

Senor Weaselo

Wait, PeyPey’s a level 7/8?

/Is it bad that I still remember that?
//Probably

Sill Bimmons

I really dislike Kristen Bell.

There’s something there I’m just not getting along with everybody else.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Dax Shepard’s penis.

...

I found those Samsung commercials she did to be grating as hell.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Agreed. But I’d still do very bad things for her.
Like strangle Dax.
Ah who am I kidding, I do that just for fun.

JerBear50

She was good in Party Down though.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

I kinda liked her before she married the dumbshit. Now she’s dead to me.

King Hippo

Hey, remember when King Hippo told you that Trevor Siemian kinda sucked??

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

They should have called that show “The Good Spot” and then people could call it “The G Spot” for short.

Duchess

The show would be cancelled in a week because the 18-34 male demographic couldn’t find it.

JerBear50

“Cam Newton” is marked as crashed and should be repaired.

...

Wooo! El Beisbol Cardinals lost tonight. Cubs magic number down to 8.

Thought you all needed something else to hate that wasn’t Manning’s face.

Old School Zero

GO CUBS GO

Smithchez

Also good for the Mets (notthatanybodycaresbutme)!

Senor Weaselo

HAHAHAHA TEBOW

Sill Bimmons

Enjoy the Tebow Sideshow!

JerBear50

Got to see Hendricks 3-0 shutout of the Pirates while I was up. Great fucking game. First time at Wrigley since probably 99.

Sep

It’s amazing what Maddon has done with an actual payroll

jjfozz

I remember when Ice T put out that album with Body Count. That was a far fucking cry from hawking insurance.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

DEDUCTIBLE KILLLERRRRR

herodotus450

I liked Ice T better before he got exiled from his home planet by his father before the invasion of the numbericons

Gratliff

Welp, that’s it for Cam

Duchess

HAHAHHAHAHA Wouldnt it be a gasser if we played “Kryptonite” after Cam gets hurt?

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Did I just lose my QB in the the insanity league? Fuck

herodotus450

Carolina kickers are getting “randomly” tested tomorrow.

fleshwound_NPG

Kryptonite bumper music, oh I see you workin, NBC producer

Senor Weaselo

White people rejoicing?

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

It is the black-on-black crime we seem to enjoy!

Spur

Cam looked twisted up like a pretzel.

entropy

Sandra Bullock needs to go explain the blind side to Other again.

Smithchez

HE DEAD

jjfozz

I would have shit if Peyton had jsut yell, “God dammit Siemian!”

Duchess

This is real and not a mistaken comedy bit

jjfozz

Fuck these people. They are too stupid to live.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

HOLY
FUCK

herodotus450

And I thought Mama Cass was dead.

Senor Weaselo

Who had 15 years before capitalizing on 9/11 with sales? Goddammit.

Sill Bimmons

Bunchess Of Funchess is a top WR2 in the insanity leagues.

Mother Puncher

Holy shit Peyton is actually a good commentator

hippofant

Oh god, please don’t let NBC read this comment.

LemonJello

But if it gets Collinsworth out of the booth, it’s for the greater good, right?

Teddy's Bridge Over Troubled Water

Emmanuel Sanders fell FAR in our draft. I picked him thinking I was drafting with a bunch of morons.

…the moron was me.

Sill Bimmons

Never draft the WR, draft the QB throwing him the ball.

entropy

Yeah, Peyton, safety did a God job, but that ball was criminally underthrown

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

There is no such thing as a right week to stop sniffing glue.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hey Denver, greetings from sunny Dallas. Miss me yet?
– M. Sanchez

theeWeeBabySeamus

Holee fuckballz…it posted.
I’m so happy. I want to thank the academy. And of course Hippoz, balls and RTD.

But mostly my internet papa. You like me…you REALLY like me.

LemonJello

Mr. Sanchez,

Fuck no.

Respectfully,
Denver

Porky Prime

VR shots of James Harrison’s dong?

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

“Some isolation plays, some double-teams, they’re doing some cool stuff in there”

All right, calm down de Sade.

Sill Bimmons

Hope last year was worth it, Donks fans.

Porky Prime

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

So…they were awfully subdued about that interception. Don’t like having their narrative disrupted, I guess?

Dick E. Phuck

You know there’s gonna be some dirty stuff going on in that booth during the commercial break.

Sill Bimmons

Smithchez

This “I’m not paying you 72 million fucking dollars” experiment of Elway’s is going swimmingly.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

WHERES PEYTONS ANALYSIS ON THAT THROW?!?!

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Well, that’s just good fun!

Old School Zero

SIEMIAN DONATION!

/thanks Buddy Cole

fleshwound_NPG

PERFECT

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Damn…my wife heard the first Manning utterances and hit the mute button before I could. Those are some good reflexes.

Duchess

Has anyone asked Peyton if there is an Alien living in his head?

Smithchez

Holy shit, I haven’t thought about that show in years.

Sep

Even these BEATS can’t noise cancel the fellatio

Porky Prime

Ok, Peyton already looks like he’s lost 30 pounds of muscle. Shenanigans.

entropy

And he’s down to a sixhead.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

I hope the Donks have a turnover IMMEDIATELY

Porky Prime

Chicken dinner.

blackroseMD1

Are you a wizard?
