[feels a bit icky making a baseball-related reference]
Damn, I like this 7:10 (eastern) starting time. Sometimes my extraordinarily strict post-work beer, scotch, cider, wine and martini regimen catches up to me and the world starts spinning and the games (yes, the games) lose their focus and I have to find out the score the following morning. This way I’m guaranteed to be coherent all the way into the third quarter of the first tilt. Enough about me-TO THE GAMES!
Steelers/Redacted’s-I feel as though Pittsburgh without the services of rb Bell and wr’s Bryant and Wheaton is a team playing with one arm tied behind their back but it won’t make much difference in the end. I think it has a lot to do with not being able to judge the prospects of Washington objectively because Dan Snyder has come to be the embodiment of a number of shitbags I deal with in my work setting. [takes a deep breath] Everyone is yakking about the Norman/Brown showdown but doesn’t the former play just one half of the field? I’m sure Brown will get moved around a bit and they will cross paths but I think it’s cb Breeland (with help from Hall?) that does the heavy lifting. It’ll be a tiny bit interesting to see who among Coates, Heyward-Bey and Rogers gets the majority of catches. Cousins’ pursuit of a long-term deal would benefit from a home win here.
Rams/Niners-As hc Kelly prepares for the game Jim Tomsula (“we hardly knew ya”) prepares for the coming hobopocalypse. A wasteland of discarded bindles and can-openers awaits mankind-he’ll be the first to tell you! STAY AWAY FROM THE SWITCHYARDS, PEOPLE! The game? Gurley runs roughshod on the Niners and qb’s Keenum(what?) and Gabbert(who?) try their damnedest to keep their combined giveaways below 7. Fantasy-wise, if Hyde goes for 35+ I may just squeak out a not-earned victory.
There she be. Now…LET’S WATCH THE SHIT OUT OF THIS!
The banner quote isn’t as funny as it could be because Jimmy Garoppolo is white.
Just had a student ask me if they could choose “Alaska” as their semester-long, country geographical research paper.
Ask him/her why is Alaska so cold when it’s right there next to Mexico?
“Wyoming” & Pacino’s subsequent lines were ad-libbed. You can barely see Pacino start to crack, but Lumet said the real miracle was that he was able to stifle his OWN laughter behind the camera, which would’ve destroyed the take.
Cazale was a fucking genius.
Make them do Russia as penance for being stupid.
So I think I lost a cat over the weekend. Just thought I’d share the ongoing winning streak that is my 2016.
That’s a real pisser. Sorry, man.
Also, I have to be up in 5 hours and somehow my otherwise awesome little boy has managed to fall asleep firmly across all four available pillows, and fuck if I’m going to risk waking him up.
Guess it’s time to sleep in the car. Or, tell the kid to “GIT A JERB AND GETSS’ERSELF A HOTEL ROOM. BOOTSTRAPS, MURICKA, TRUMP!”
Thanks. Obviously it’s a lesser priority at this point than, oh, frantically scrambling to keep the rest of my shit together…but yeah, real pisser.
Shit, that’s awful. I’m so sorry.
Sorry to hear that Porky. Sincerely.
Fuuuuck. Sorry, man. You deserve some of Bruce Bochy’s even numbered years luck.
One of our cats once disappeared for 11-12 days during a really cold winter. We’d given up and then there was a snowstorm and she came trotting across the back yard. she’d been bitten by something and eventually lost her tail to amputation but is still around and remarkably ungrateful to be alive.
The point is I wouldn’t give up unless you find the body, and even then I’d give it a day or so. Cats are evil and you can never really kill evil.
That’s awful. I hope it comes back or someone finds it.
I know this is only a fake internet lucky nickel but I really hope it works…

You’ve come to the right place for… uh… I dunno. I’m only still because no one would give me a ride.

Keenum was taking a knee to commit football seppuku, right?

I might be exaggerating, but Canadian viewers on TSN have been subjected to about two dozen Toronto Argos ads during the entirety of the broadcast.
If I’ve committed to watching this much NFL, I’m clearly not watching the CFL. I’d rather read Hustler for the articles.
Ooh – the REAL Belushi.
From which Yes album cover art is Berman’s tie?
Somehow, St. Louis won.
That’s gotta be a new one, the losing team taking the knee to end it.
I went for a 30 minute walk with the baby to shut her up. I see I missed about as much as I expected to miss. Perhaps less.
Oh please review it!
Skipping the last couple min to watch Party Down
Case Keenum is Sage Rosenfels 2.0
Berman just called this game a “whitewash,” in what I can only assume was an attempt to suck up to Chip Kelly.

Needs Chris Hansen gif-ing in from the side.
Alex Trebek’s look is fantastic.
Oh, agreed. It would just be a pleasant surprise.
And then he still won by a bajillionty thousand dollars.

Remember when Ice T was writing songs about killing cops and every white person in America was afraid of him?
Simpler times.
Hail BLEERGH, the Seahawks game in LA looks easier next week.
It’s nice to see that the LA Rams decided to empathize with Tre Mason’s struggles this offseason by having their offense go missing entirely in this game.
They threw out the wrong Donald.

Was LA ever really that excited to have the Rams back?
Pretty sure they still don’t know

Chip Kelly needs to go to Stan Sitwell’s eyebrow guy ASAP.
