Your “Mind-Blowingly Amazing AFC North Tilt” Thursday Night NFL Open Thread

I’m a huge fan of the underdog. The 1980 Olympic Men’s Hockey team? Fantastic. Boise State over Oklahoma in 2007? Wonderful. The Giants hand the Patriots an 18-1 record? Orgasmic. #14 Mercer (Mercer?) beats Duke in 2014? I laughed and laughed and laughed. Will I (or anyone outside Greater Cleveland) cheer for the 0-9 Browns? TO THE GAME!

Cle/Bal-The Ravens are favoured by 9.5/10. When was the last time they beat a team by more than single digits? That would be December 28th of 2014. Who did they beat by 10? Might be kinda obvious-it was the Brownies. I don’t often recommend starting Ravens O guys but damn, this Cleveland secondary is crap. Ravens te Pitta had his best game of the year against these fellas and wr’s Wallace and Smith Sr. should go for a TD each. Why? The Browns’ safeties consist of a undrafted/converted cb and a 4th rounder in his second year. Did I mention that starting cb Taylor is out tonight? I guess I just did. No wonder that Cleveland is dead last in defensive yards per completion at 12.7. Odds are, if qb Flacco completes a pass it’s a first down. If I could pile onto the Brownies just one more time-this colour rush game will feature them in white unis because it was determined that brown would clash with the Ravens purple outfits.

One last thing-be sure to check out Freeballin’ Football’s latest podcast below. Will Bill get the blood stains out of the carpet before his parents get back from vacation? Did Nick’s trespassing charges finally get dropped? Will Josh’s Baywatch-inspired musical finally get proper funding? Who will Tim designate as his #1 male celebrity crush? For the answers to these questions and some yak-yak about the NFL, check that shit out.

I am a huge Coen Brothers movie fan from way back.

“Raising Arizona” changed my life
“Fargo” is their most commercially successful film
“The Big Lebowski” is their masterpiece

However, “A Serious Man” is one awesome piece of film-making.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I love you, man.

Brick Meathook

Moose, I hope there’s not sex involved. You won’t like it. Me neither, if anyones asking.

I finished watching Doctor Strange tonight on my computer. Last night I was too tired to stay up. It was goodish. I would have watched it in much better quality at a theater but 80 degrees, audio lows and highs set at extreme levels and overall shitiness of the theater made me watch it at home.

Senor Weaselo

I vant to suck your… never mind.

“This system continues to be “rigged” in favor of rural voters, and was set up that way intentionally— in the 18th century. If there’s such a movement for change, let’s throw out the Electoral College along with the two-party system, and have proportional representation so everyone’s vote can matter.”

BrettFavresColonoscopy

So glad I didn’t waste my time watching the Browns Brown

Coworker: “Ravens won? What happened?!”
Me: “Browns happened.”

Also, what exactly are the Trump protesters protesting? Democracy? The Electoral College that prevents the more populous states from exerting their will over the less populous states?

What do they want? A do over? I mean so do I, but come on! Take the loss, regroup and come back strong in 2018!

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I’m with you on most of that, but the electoral college actually just makes candidates campaign in “swing states” and not care about the country as a whole. Your guy lost the popular vote by a couple hundred thousand.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

What I meant to say is we are not a Democracy, we are a Republic.

Yeah, for Bill Burr. Poor people are fucked. Immigrants are fucked. Women who need abortions are fucked. People with government jobs are fucked. People who work in heal care are fucked. People who live in underfunded school districts are fucked. Gay people who want to get married better do it soon, because they are fucked too.

This line of thinking works great for straight, non-empathetic white people.

So I bought this laptop refurbished and was told it doesn’t support dual monitors other than mirroring. I just took his word on it and never checked. On a whim today I went into the display settings and found out yes, it indeed does support distinct dual monitors. It is just not as user friendly as it could be.

ALXMAC

I assume you want to use it to watch sports, but the only thing better than internet porn is twice the internet porn.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I like to have my sports on the big screen and this site open on the other one, but yes it does have other uses.

The stoner on the far right is my favorite.

I like the once crouching in the middle, plotting their next move

theeWeeBabySeamus

Alright, I’m checking out at this point before I piss someone else off, LOL. There’s plenty of time for that tomorrow.
😉

theeWeeBabySeamus

In all seriousness, I’m out due to pain returning in my face from oral surgery.
I love ya MTWV. Sorry it wasn’t clear I was messing around.

Croooow

Get well soon.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Thanks man.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I was never in anyway mad, I was just trying to clarify.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Fair enough.
We’ll just chalk it up to me trying to make a poorly conceived joke.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Pain the face? I always thought you were a pain in the…

Croooow

I’m disappointed we didn’t get a Safety.

Senor Weaselo

So all we’re missing is the safety, which is coming next play, right?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Almost.
Drunk Al now explaining replay to us.

ALXMAC

OY!! Someone say my name?

Croooow

Looks like Duke beat a ranked UNC in football. That’s something.

theeWeeBabySeamus

That’s more than something. In my world, that’s awesome. Not because Duke won. But because the loss pretty much ends U*NC’s hopes at an ACC title game appearance.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Someone needs to let Cris know that a momentary bobble matters not if you don’t go out of bounds, ball doesn’t touch turf, and are not touched.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Not a catch

theeWeeBabySeamus

Disagree….though I might have missed an angle.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I am wrong. Not a catch. But I will take the mistake and run with it.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I still say it wasn’t a catch

theeWeeBabySeamus

If I’m not mistaken, I just admitted being wrong and agreed with you.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

They posted seconds apart, look at the timestamp

theeWeeBabySeamus

Dude, I’m just fucking with ya.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yeah, keep pounding that shit.
/let me rephrase

theeWeeBabySeamus

That’s good too.

This game is insanely bad. And Fozz can’t drink. Looks like someone is having a worse week than Hillary.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Who says Fozz can’t drink. My information conflicts with this.

Brocky

I hate hate rooting for the browns.

Making fun of Detroit’s 0-16 season is one of the few things I have in life

This game needs the efficiency of DAK.

I was excited that I got of work early tonight in time to watch the last half of Thursday Night Football, then I realized I was getting off early to watch Thursday Night Football. Imagine my disappointment.
They Ravens could at least have the common decency to give the Browns a reach-around during this cornholing.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Food prep completed. Eating not yet completed. Been too busy with ELITE CURSING.
But maybe a little breathing room finally.
Time to eat.

theeWeeBabySeamus

/realizes belated I just jinxed it

litre_cola

This awful game is everything I could hope for! Are the Browns going to pick a guy out of the stands next to play qb? Stay tuned!!!

This bottle of red doesn’t. The game, yes, it is awful.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Pretty much. My wife is watching misery porn (Hillary’s concession speech). I am also watching misery porn (Cleveland Browns football).

I’m watching ‘The Scorch Trials’ because dystopian teen action movies seem like a good source of information on survival skills I’m going to need very soon.

ALXMAC

I can’t be the only one that read that as the “Scotch” trails and thought that it still works.

JustStopDude

I’m out…I cannot keep my eyes open.

NFL Films present “Jim Brown: We aren’t going to mention the Ex-wife situation”

Brick Meathook

Jim Brown was a Dirty Dozen!

(So was Telly Savalas & Trini Lopez!)
