Your “Twickenham Stadium is Falling Down, Falling Down” Sunday Morning NFL Football Open Thread

Adding another game to the usual triple-header that occurs every Sunday? I’m all in. It totally reminds of that time back in university when 3 co-eds invited me back to their place for a romp. When a fourth girl found out about it she begged and pleaded to be invited along. I said, “the more the better” because I’m linguistically gifted dontyouknow. Once all the ball-draining action was over and done with we all went our separate ways and lived happily ever after, free of addictions, jobs that suck and financial worries. And to think, all it took to pretend to not have any real-life worries was to pretend that I had a loop-de-loop with 4 nubile phillys. Sometimes life is just that easy, folks… TO THE GAME!

NYG/LA-They don’t make ’em any bigger than this, huh? The biggest news coming out of the Giants facility is ROBBIE GOULD FINALLY HAS A NEW JOB! All it took was for NFL to say “Who? What? Again? Still? But our investigation was complete! Guys, seriously-Domestic Violence Hurts…our reputation! and finally-I wish we could sweep this under the carpet but Janay has taken up residence there.” Another big concern the Giants have today is what happens when high-priced signee cb Jenkins evolves into a shut-down calibre player but there’s no one to shut down? Wr OBJ should have a nice day despite having a pointy hip because the Rams best cb, Trumaine Johnson is not available. The Giants D continues to stink up the joint. As far as takeaways are concerned they have one (!) fumble recovery and two(?) interceptions. I think you could send a little girl to run around the field during the game and she’d trip over the football at least twice, right? My guess is that qb Eli’s recent dodgy playmaking may not be enough to undermine the Giants favoured status in this game.

[wipes hands on pyjamas] All right then, MAKE WITH THE FUNNY!

Oh god…the poor bloke has to go into the British National Health Service.

I have been watching this game for approximately five minutes and there have already been three punts (I think; I haven’t been watching too closely).

I have no doubt Jeff Fisher has done this

Horatio Cornblower

Checking my rosters this morning I picked up Geno Smith at QB in the Insanity League, and I was damn glad to get him, as my bench currently includes the horrible law firm of Hoyer, Romo & Fitzpatrick.

Horatio Cornblower

The Rams seem to have left their tackling hands on their plane.

I’m in a cab trying to get to Newark airport, and this is a perfect reminder of why uber is succeeding

JustStopDude

Every body loves Uber…until they are in an accident…then who do you sue? Their insurance coverage for their “contractors” is a fucking joke. The driver’s insurance ain’t going to cover shit because most likely they got POV insurance, not commercial insurance.

Basically you could bankrupt some poor schlep that already poor and desperate enough to work for Uber. That ain’t gonna cover your medical bills.

Unsurprised

This is why I wish Portland put the hammer down on them and Lyft harder when they were trying to enter the market.

Unsurprised

I’m sure I know lawyers who represent either or both Uber and Lyft in insurance defense and let me state clearly that I hate those people to my very core.

JustStopDude

I’ve gotten into arguments with people about this. If I am using my vehicle for work most of the time, then I have to pay extra insurance. Its a no fucking brainer. If I am running a transportation service…common sense is that I need to have extra coverage.

I don’t fault insurance companies not paying out for people intentionally violating their policies.

Spur

Eli wanted to know if Queen Cersei was going to attend the game.

Unsurprised

As if he’s allowed to watch that filth

Wait…why is football on this early?!?

Oh wait…it involves the Rams…it doesn’t matter.

I want to see the one where Peyton chains the diner doors shut and sets that sombitch on fire.

Spur

Do these people know what’s going on? It seems to me they’re just happy to be out of the house.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I went to a game at Wembley a few years back, and it was interesting to see the split of ‘Murricans who made the trip for the game, expats, Brits who follow the NFL, and curious Welshmen. Which is not a website I frequent anymore.

King Hippo

I greatly appreciate the fact that my fantasy opponent left the Giants D on his bench.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

What is with the scoring points in the London game? Do they not know the tradition of punting and FG while over there?

Spur

Folks

Col. Duke LaCross

Sir.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I set my clock an hour late either because the commercials said eastern time or more likely I knew they said that and just set them late anyways because I wasn’t worried about missing the first hour. … It was the second thing.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Well technically Keenum has thrown two TD passes today

ballsofsteelandfury

Woo Giants!

/doesn’t care, but loves defensive scores.

Unsurprised

I can’t believe it only took years of me harassing my brother to get him to go see an orthopedist tomorrow about his knee.

Dan Fouts always sounds like he just ate a bite of egg sandwich.

King Hippo

Saints hold on for the point at the Etihad.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Football this early is madness.

King Hippo

of the very best kind!

ballsofsteelandfury

Madness is living on the West Coast and watching this. I don’t even like these teams.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

It’s so early I didn’t even have time to get hungover

King Hippo

SOMEBODY understands what MANDATORY 14-hour window for Commentists in good standing means.

ballsofsteelandfury

GOULD GOAL!

ballsofsteelandfury

This FG brought to you by domestic violence.

Kungjitsu

Someone needs to check in on Molly Brown

Fronkenshteen

Cruz and Jimmy Graham are truly inspirational for us knee surgery types. No shit.

King Hippo

Olivia must have done a masterful job managing Elisha’s nap schedule, even with the time change.

Fronkenshteen

what was that update? Beckham is standing, breathing, and talking?
Top notch, Stacy.

King Hippo

Seems to me this colonization project is too narrowly-focused. For example, the Donks apparently have a big following in Brasil…so why not send us THERE for a game?? So many countries that could pick a side, even if the mighty Jaguras are spoken for…

King Hippo

RAM IT!! actually looks happy to be there. If’n there’s a more difficult side to figure out in the entire NFL…

ballsofsteelandfury

London>Inglewood > Coliseum

Col. Duke LaCross

THAT’S the play you draw up to get Beckham going?

Fronkenshteen

Which name makes you assume Caucasian more, Fozzy Whittaker or Benny Cunningham? They both sound like Happy Days characters.

King Hippo

so….the Giants aren’t very good, especially when OBJ has hip owie, huh?

Fronkenshteen

Is this the first West Coast team to play in London?

King Hippo

they shoulda stopped off in China, got some sweet opium.

Col. Duke LaCross

The Chargers went once and the Niners twice.

Fronkenshteen

Man City equalize

King Hippo

BOOOOOOO

/but expected

Fronkenshteen

Hmm. Wonder why he couldn’t catch that?

Fronkenshteen

Speaking of Janoris Jenkins, I heeded Scotchnaut’s wise words and dropped Kenny Britt out to pick up Zach Zenner, since D. Washington is out again for Detroit. MY BLOOD IS ON YOUR HANDS, SCOTCH!!!!

King Hippo

In the annals of “I would sell a kidney before giving up RedZone” these are my local game options in Raleigh, North Cakalaky:

1:00: Balmer/Jest; Redacteds/Lions (SERIOUS)
4:25: P*ts/Landry Jones

Doktor Zymm

Is this thing only on NFL Network?

King Hippo

I see a CBS icon, so prolly on local NYC/LA stations

John Difool

Apparently.

Shogun Marcus

Yup. Another example this year of the nfl believing it’s own hype and falling down. “You know you want it.” “Um, nah. Not that bad.”

Don T

I bet Jeff Fisher’s haltime adjustments / inspiring speech is exactly like this:

the moustache doesn’t allow straight razors in the locker room ,, smgdh

The Jesuits pushing the piano obvs make Gregg Williams VERY HARD.

King Hippo

REMEMBER, London game means the WHOLE ENTIRE 14-hour window is mandatory watch/listen FOAR Commentists in good standing. Caffeinate now and often!! FORWARD, Comrades!!!!

John Difool

Caffeine it is. 9:30 a.m. is a little early for alcohol….I mean, we’re not the English.

Don T

That’s worthy service. More than having to deal with “I’m hungry”, pleas of aterntion, “We gotta talk”, and other family blethings.

John Difool

I wonder if playing in Twickenham will make Eli feel like he’s a character in one of his favorite Harry Potter books?
