Your “NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!” Tuesday Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

  • Well, the Niners decided to go with Colin Kaepernick versus the Bills this Sunday. I guess a white guy can’t catch a break on a Chip Kelly team.
  • Clipboard Jesus has been released by the Browns. So much for him being better by Wednesday.
  • On the heels of losing the undefeated streak, the Eagles got the news today that Lane Johnson has had his 10-game suspension upheld. See you against Dallas in Week 17, LJ.
  • Gary Kubiak has been ruled out for coaching in San Diego this Thursday, proving Boltman does answer prayers, forcing the Chargers to come up with a valiant post-game excuse for this week’s inventive failure.
  • Marc Trestman is out in Baltimore, so why not bring in Marty Mornhinweg?
    • By the way, FUCK YOU ESPN! There’s only one type of “Marty Ball”, and that’s the kind with a head coach that fails to get to the Super Bowl with three separate teams.
  • JERRAL says Romo’s back is fine, and that he’s throwing & getting “into game shape”.
    • I’d put my money on November 6th versus Cleveland as the first time we see Tony Romo in the game-day lineup.
      • Some lunatics say October 30th versus the Eagles, but that would just guarantee another “Bounty Bowl”.

According to PFT, prime-time football got murdered in the ratings again this week. The Sunday night game was down 22% versus last year, but that was due to the angry grandparents and their TV town hall, plus playoff baseball. Numbers were down everywhere but Wisconsin, which showed no negligible change. Worse was that the Monday Night game was down nearly 25% from the previous year, the drop no doubt aided by two 1-3 teams coming up against baseball playoffs. The rating of 6.5 adds up to just over 8.75 million viewers, or the lowest number for Week 5 of the season since ESPN acquired the rights in 2005.

Finally, Greg Hardy has given up on trying to sign with a NFL team and is looking to get into MMA. It won’t likely be the UFC, as Jay Glazer has apparently used whatever influence he has to scorch the earth on that path. Plus, after War Machine, I don’t think any reputable MMA organization wants to take a flier on a woman-beater. I hope he enjoys The Philippines.


Well, the Red Sox are out of the MLB playoffs. THANK GOD! We all know ‘those’ type of insufferable Red Sox fans – the ones whose knowledge goes all the way back to 2004, and think “Pudge” is Ivan Rodriguez. Hopefully, Big Papi’s retirement means most casual fans can return to casually rooting for the Patriots until Dreamboat retires. Hopefully Cubs fans will have a little more discretion, because who can they choose? The Bears? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!11!1!


Thanks to everyone who has contributed game-day experiences. Keep ’em coming. Learning what to enjoy and what to avoid gives life to any review.

 

I wish there was access to lasers in the stadium beer lines:

“Honey, do I want Bud Light?”

“What’s an ‘IPA’?”

DIE DIE ALL OF YOU DIE!!!
DIE DIE ALL OF YOU DIE!!!

 

On the topic of killing all one’s enemies and beer lines idiocy, it’s a tad long but worth your time: The Ringer has a long-form piece on the Hank Scorpio Simpsons episode, “You Only Move Twice”.

I, too, would like to be asked to kill someone on the way out. But, just one?


Tonight’s sports:

  • International Friendly Soccer: U.S. vs. New Zealand – 8:00 PM | ESPN
  • WNBA Finals: Game 2: Los Angeles at Minnesota – 8:00 PM | ESPN2
  • MLB Playoff: Cubs @ Giants – 8:30PM | FS1/Sportsnet

Hockey season starts tomorrow. GO CANU—ahh; I can’t even be bothered.

It’s gonna be a long season.

In hopes of cheering up a young man who had a terrible no fun Sunday, here’s a little song from Gary Kubiak’s favourite band:

Also, GET WELL SOON KUBES!!

Unsurprised

(Shout out to all the depraved lunatics who posted these in the original thread with one of their friends who had a stroke)
—————
hey Kubiak, is your favourite deep purple song Stroke On The Water?
Is your favourite coffee a Strokea Latte
Is your favourite Disney film Strokeahontas
Is your favourite carbonated beverage a Diet Stroke
Is your favourite swimming stroke the Stroke Stroke
If you moved to England would you live in Stroke-On-Trent? more like basingstroke
Kubiak’s favorite movie is THUNDERSTROKE. two halves enter, one half numbs
Is your favourite Batman villain The Stroker
If you were one of the deathly hallows would you be the invisibility stroke
with all these bad puns you’re going to give Kubiak another stro–oooh
We should take Kubiak golfing and add 1 to his total score.
If you plant Kubiak acorns can you grow a Stroak tree
Is your favourite Ricky Martin song Livin’ La Vida Strokea?
I think you’re missing the stroke.
Did anyone say how this whole thing is just stroking Kubiak’s ego?
Kubiak is a wizard. his magic word is strokus pocus
I don’t feel sorry for Kubiak having a stroke so much as I feel bad for the stroke having a Kubiak.
you should make a character on city of villains called iSchemeia
Is your favourite DC villain Deathstroke
Do you ever phone the speaking clock and when it says “on the third stroke…” say “But I’ve only had one so far!” and then laugh and drop the phone because your left side has gone numb?
Man, Kubiak, I really hope you don’t die before this joke does.

He lives! What a stroke of luck!
now Stroku’s Kubiak level is over 9000
He’s a vegetable, not a Vegeta.
That was a stroke of genius.
Stroketacular
a masterstroke?
I hope that he doesn’t have another one. It’d be horrible if I stroke too soon.
one time Kubiak was having a stroke. boy was his face red
Kubiak is like the England football team. Useless down the left hand side.
Yeah but their dribbling skills are world class.

Huh that’s weird, I can smell burning toast. OH GOD NOT ME TOO! Haha, no, my toast has burned. That is all. I am not having a stroke.
o—r stroke you think.

Dealing with Kubiak is a lot like dealing with politics. You’ll be fine as long as you remember that everything on the left is useless.
Kubiak is leaning more and more to the left these days.

I’m a little ashamed that my Diff’rent Strokes joke fell flat.
—We were a bit numb from the

Hey, Gary, the only time i get a stroke is when your mom is in town
Kubiak: pffft. so do I


wait

What Kubiak needs to celebrate the anniversary of surviving is a stroke cake. One side will be normal and the other side will be lopsided and runny.
—Jesus people, toughen up some. This joke was at my expense but y’all is twice as sensitive about it than I am!
—Which is saying something since only half you body is sensitive anymore.
—You should give him two thumbs up, just to rub it in.

Kubiak is lucky he had a stroke. Now he dosnt have to sit on his hand for 30 minutes to do The Stranger.

Kubiak took the Stroke command from his college rowing team a tad to seriously.
Kubiak could join the Olympic swim team if the pools were round.

I’d clap, but well.. you know

Kubiak could join the Olympic swim team if the pools were round.
—Yeah, and he already has an excellent stroke.

this thread makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
—this thread makes me feel all warm and fuzzy on one side.
—this thread makes me feel all warm and fffgggghhhhhh
—Nice
—Nggghhhhh

Well, Kubiak will always know what the sound of one hand clapping is.

This thread is going places.
— In circles

I’m stroking the bottom of the barrel here folks

Sorry, I just got done watching a doc about the Voyager mission, and I’m no more mature now than they lifted off. I was 11 then.

Sill Bimmons

“The extreme pressure and temperature deep within Uranus may break up methane molecules, with the carbon atoms condensing into crystals of diamond that rain down through the mantle like hailstones. Very-high-pressure experiments at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory suggest that the base of the mantle may comprise an ocean of liquid diamond, with floating solid ‘diamond-bergs.'”

Unsurprised

The Scorpio article is cool. Weinstein is full of shit about Swartzwelder only being responsible for 5% of The Simpsons being funny, but his dream of “finding the two-hour tape of Brooks as Scorpio and making an extended version of “You Only Move Twice” with it” saves him from me hating him. And the author needs to be swatted on the nose for writing “glass-encrusted” to describe the Googleplex. I am shocked that I just now learned Albert Brooks was Cowboy Bob and Jacques.

Finally, though, the shoe debate is just so very sad.

Unsurprised

I will betray my handle for a second and say that I can’t believe they didn’t even dig into Bart’s line “We’re going to catch up to them by going slower?”

My brother and I quote this all the time about various things and if it was made now it would be a South Park-level political grenade.

Stupid science, always getting in the way of ideology.

I just enjoy the fact they’d bitch endlessly that existing studies are flawed due to who funds them.

All this defense of Trump bragging about sexual assault as “locker room talk” has reminded me that Charles Haley is a piece of shit.

Sill Bimmons

As someone who has been in more locker rooms than Buddy Cole, I can speak from experience in saying that hardly anybody says a word in the locker room.

You just want to shower, change, and get the fuck out of there while making as little eye contact as humanly possible, let alone go on about fingerbanging Mary Jane Rottencrotch through her purty pink panties at the river Friday night.

“Locker room talk” should just be called “asshole guy” talk, because it is what asshole guys talk about everywhere but the locker room.

The only talk I’ve ever had is agreeing with another guy who was mad about the old guy who always used the hair dryer on his fucking balls.

Unsurprised

There’s been a great line for a while floating around that “I wish I was half as self-confident as a mediocre white man online.” I mention that because as much as I hate them and would love to see them flayed, a very small part of me is jealous of the men who’ve sexually assaulted women I know and got away with it for having an insane level of, sadly, somewhat justified by he world’s apart and inaction, psychopathic confidence.
