Can you smell the weekend? What does it smell like? For some that experience that thing called “seasons”, it may have the odour of raking leaves. For you youngsters out there, perhaps the aroma of a failed bar pickup is invading your nostrils. For others, perhaps a trip to Bed, Bath And Beyond is stinking up your soon-to-be Saturday afternoon. My weekend is beginning to smell like delicious, delicious ‘by myself-ness’. So sweet… TO THE GAME!
Chi/GB-So it’s come to this. The Bears versus the Packers. Your narrative will be all about the history of this matchup because this game isn’t compelling. Despite the Pack missing rb’s Lacy and Starks, cb Shields, te Cook, wr Adams and a sense of purpose, they should pull this out. The 4th-rate backfield of recently-signed Knile Davis and recently-converted wr Ty Montgomery should get things done against a Bears D that gave up the ghost long before All Hallows Eve. With 5 losses at this point, the Bears are staring at a 1-7 mark heading into their bye-bye week because they get Minny next time around. The rarest of all sports-related phrases can now be uttered by the denizens of Chicago-“Well, at least we have the Cubs”.
There you have it-TYPE LIKE THE WONDERFUL RAGAMUFFINS YOU ARE!
womp womp
Aaron Rodgers loves to wrestle greasy hairy Bears.

Christ. Mason Crosby is gonna kill me tonight.
what is the goddamned point of trying to draw them offside? and then, what is the goddamned point of burning a timeout??
COME ON COBBDOWN
Get in the fucking end zone.
When all else fails, chuck it up and pray foar BLEERGH!
I voted early today.
Should I attempt to troll on Facebook and say that it’s my 3rd time this election,
Or should I say that my candidate’s name doesn’t rhyme with CHUMP!
just prooving this electon is riged by croocked hillary SAD! #MAGA

Ugh… go home Jeem, you’re drunk.
Ugh… Phil. Why am I NOT drunk yet??
Is Kevin White still broken?
Was he ever fixed?
Proudly representing WVU on the IR!
Is that Larry King?
He’s been at all three games in the same seat. I prefer seeing him on every pitch infinitely more than Marlins Man.
Yup. Always in the same spot. Kinda like Bernie.
Old Man David Ross > Old Man Brian Hoyer

So is the Cubs bandwagon already overloaded? Now that the Blowjays are out, I could care even less abut baseball, but I enjoy judging other people.
Is it wrong that I’m more interested in DaU/UVa than the rest of this abortion of pro sports?
ooops…drunkish typo.

Does Hoyer have a ridiculous nickname or are we stuck with HOYERFLOAT, HOYERSACK, HOYERCEPTION, et&c?
I’m home alone, and I saw my sister’s state test scores sitting on the table (she’s almost 11), and I saw that she has the exact same fucking problem I have. She scores astonishingly high in both math and reading, but her writing scores are barely average, just like me. Does anyone know why the fuck this is? I looked it up and the first page of Google gave me jack shit, and I’m pretty sure a couple of you guys have careers in education. I would probably ask the same question if it was someone that wasn’t me, because it just seems kind of odd.
I don’t mean to waste anybody’s time or sound like an asshole, if my comment comes across as anything other than curiosity.
I meant to say if my comment comes across as anything other than curiosity, i apologize.
Schools don’t tend to emphasize writing as they have to teach to teh tests, which are memorization, like reading and math. It’s like any muscle, it needs work. Write moar.
My sister is a reading/communications specialist.
I’ll ask next time I see her.
I don’t know if it’s changed since I was a kid, but writing scoring on tests like that is pretty rigid in terms of looking for specific things that aren’t absolutely necessary for what a lot of people would consider good writing. Even I didn’t get the highest score on writing sections when I’d max out on other verbal sections.
Dyslexia?
Almost certainly not. Our reading scores are all well beyond the 99th percentile.
I was a journalist major, copywriter, etc. Writing is a tough skill to teach, and I honestly think some people are able to communicate better via speech than with words.
My college was big on writing, lots of essay tests.
I think it’s repetition and having a solid teacher. She sounds super smart, good luck!
Writing is usually the only section that’s scored by hand. Find out the criterion they grade on, and she can probably learn those and write to the test. There will still be variation by individual grader, but if she gets the basic structure they want correct that’s most of it.
Are you fine with me sounding a bit like a braggart? I just spent 25 minutes typing only about 3 sentences because I didn’t want to sound like a dick in those three sentences.
Clay Matthews….always creepy
That forehead. He looks like Worf’s cousin on A Very Special Star Trek: The Next Generation.
I always describe him as a store-brand Midwestern Tarzan.
I know Chicago is supposed to be a good football town, but I only saw 2 Bears jerseys today. Yes, your team is horrible and one of your normally shitty baseball teams is doing goods, but SHAME SHAME ON YOU.
I am watching this game, I’m also going outside to drink Bulleitt Rye and smoke an Aroma de Cuba.
Anyone in this house fucks with me, and there’s gonna be blood on the fucking moon.
Cheers.
Throw to Cameron Meredith, motherfucker
I’m sleepy and wish to go to bed early. I assume the Bears will not bother making this a game, in accordance with my wishes.
Go Cubs Go
ITS THE BLACK AND BLUE DIVISION JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY FUCK!
No one fucking cares.
When you have nothing interesting to say, just say something anyway!
Now c’mon fozz, these were some hard hittin’ teams some 30-odd years ago…
BIG BANG THEORY IS MOVING TO A NEW NIGHT!
-That new night shall now be known as Bazingday
That’s the major plus to the NFLN broadcast–fewer shitty CBS Promos.
Alleged color rush or free hockey game of the week between two teams I don’t care about, hmm…
So…why not go for THAT 4th and 4?? Same calculus, were in FG range the first damned time. A pro kicker easily makes a 47-yarder 8 times out of 10.
Mike McCarthy is just Andy Reid with a Super Bowl.
True bit of trivia, each man last saw his dick in 1992.
GAWTTA CHEW SOME CLAWCK
That comment is dangerously close to a gay porn movie promo.
Hold on floyd there.
Bears are incompetent enough, GB won’t need the refs help tonight
I won a toilet plunger as a door prize. So many annoying sales presentation.
Never underestimate the value of a good plunger.
Jokes aside, that’s one household item that people hold on to far long than they should.

Short answer: No, with an “if.”
Long answer: Yes, with a “but.”
Hey nfl, how bout you make teams wear throwbacks on the tnf? Ya know?
This is going to sound odd, but I will always have be indebted to HaHa Clinton-Dix. Even as my father was declining to the Parkinson’s Dementia, hearing that name always made him laugh. Laughing was rare in those days, so we took whenever/wherever we could find it.
OK, I haven’t depressed you guys like this in what…a week at least?
Wow, great grammar tWBS. smgdh.

Post surgical Ronald. I like it…I think.
Though I would ask for ID.
I was hoping just a different marketing approach in a different country.
No roughing on matthews for helmet to helmet there, or throwing the qb to the ground after the pass?
I mean I know it’s hoyer but cmon
Minus the pants, this is the most regular looking color rush thankfully.

I consider these marching orders.

So many people out there with no idea how terrifying New York used to be.
The small bears seem to have contempt for the idea they can’t score runs.
I believe the term for a small bear is Otter.

I have no idea how to do that math to get into WordPress.
Hola
Is this the Boise State Game Thread?!
I for one, am ready FOAR some mediocre football. And I wish Love Ya Blue (ie, the Not Small Bears) well in the immaterial sporting contest.
Go Hoyer Country, so I feel S-M-R-T for fading them (as a result of Balls’ shaming) in Survivor.
That’s So Fleury
Your kid had some massive diarrhea, huh?
Where do you think he winds up?
I’m predicting it will be the Kings.
what are they offering? a half-eaten Pop-Tart?
Stick to CAWLEDGE Wolfy Boy.
HEY!!!!!
I heard he and Jimmy Howard are going upstate to that farm for goalies where they just get to skate around without fear of anyone jostling their water bottles.
Nice.
This game’s going to be fucking terrible, isn’t it?
CHUH CHUH

Consume liquor.
Kung Pao Shrimp and homemade eggrolls tonight. Eat your hearts out.
And I totally didn’t make the smoke alarm go off, so shut up.
Time to add alcohol to the mix.
Back in a bit.
Ursa major or ursa minor tonight? Y’all know my choice.
My brother in law pointed out that his Bears were in prime position to be drafting a quarterback next spring. I told him they’re going to have to suck a lot harder if they’re going to catch the Browns.
The same people that think that drafting a QB early in the draft guarantees that your team will be good down the road are the very folks that wear the same pair of underwear 3 days in a row.

What I think of when I see verizon guy
Drinking two Chinese, a Japanese, and three Polish customers under the table at sales symposium. God help me.
Body weight should give you the edge on the Asians but God save you vs. the Poles.
“Never really liked the Poles…`
-God
As a Pole, I do agree.
My pole is also in agreement.
OK two things that have been killing my time… Mafi 3 is buggy as hell but still pretty damn interesting story… Also if you have not watch HarmonQuest it is hilarious and can make anyone think “Hey Dungeons and Dragons looks kind of fun.”
