Your “Are You Not Entertained? Wadda Ya Mean, ‘Kinda’?” Monday Night Football Open Thread

The NFL had a hell of a task on its hands yesterday-to attempt to make us forget about the previous few miserable days. In a remarkable upset, I think they actually pulled it off. Will wonders never cease! By my count there were 10 games decided by 9 points or less. No, the NFL isn’t “back!” nor do I have its back but baby steps, right? And judging by the overall mood of the comments yesterday in the threads I think folks here are in general agreement that the day was a good one. The big question* now is of course-can the Mighty New York Giants beat the blasted Bengals tonight? TO THE GAME!

Cincy/NYG-Qb’s Dalton and Manning are mirror images of each other (okay, maybe if you were wearing rose-coloured glasses while peeking at The Red Rifle) in that they can surprise the hell out of you at any given time with competent/incompetent play. They also have access to an All-World wide receiver that has a habit of bailing them out of bad decisions and long third down situations. The Bengals need this one to keep pace with the Ravens/Steelers in an AFC North division that is so sluggish it may as well be the 405 during rush hour. (for my SoCal friends) There are wingnut Giants fans out there that think that they can still win the NFC East. Wow. It takes all kinds I guess. With a win they would be the sixth seed however and there is little to no room for mistakes because the Redacteds and Eagles are right there. We may just have another watchable game on our hands. So sit back, tear open a juice box, and pour some vodka in there-there’s some tube-watchin’ to do!

As always, TYPE LIKE IT MATTERS!

It hit me just now that Thanksgiving is already next Thursday.
Fuck.

Unsurprised

Yup. Time flies when you’re an old fuck

WCS

Would it be child endangerment to lock her inside a soundproof box until she screams herself to sleep? Asking for a friend.

Unsurprised

No

LemonJello

Is the soundproof box also childproof? Then it’s A-OK.

jjfozz

“President Elect Trump, you’ll be doing lots of traveling over the next four years. Lots of walking. How will you make sure your shoes stay tied?”

“I will make sure to use lots of knottzies.”

litre_cola

Oof. That one hurt a bit fozz.

jjfozz

Gotta work a dad joke in there. Plus, I was bumming myself out. Plus, fuck Trump.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

That joke has been around for a long time and I NEVER get tired of it….. just now it scares me.

Well done.

jjfozz

Home Depot and Lowe’s report inventory for hobnails completely sold out.

LemonJello

I.G. Farben to replace Halliburton as prime contractor to the US Government.

jjfozz

This just in, Volkswagen to provide all vehicles for Trump Inaugural Parade.

litre_cola

Daaaaaad I want an AUDI!

Unsurprised

Bullshit. He actually knows science.

nomonkeyfun

No he’ll just bring in Kissinger, but remove the one moral the man has. No, I haven’t figured out what that is yet.

Unsurprised

That’s because he doesn’t have any

jjfozz

This just in, Hugo Boss receives gigantic order for brown shirts in sizes ranging from Youth Small to Men’s XXXL

nomonkeyfun

The only good thing I’ve come across so far is the vast amount of material for Fozz’ anger. Not that you really need any help with that.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I haven’t seen such illegal use of hands since Kellen Winslow Jr. realized he needed a new soap dish and some stationary.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Just landed in Denver. Do I need to be sad about missing this game so far?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Sort of kind of. The first two touchdown drives were entertaining.

Jesus Christ, Trump. Who will be your Press Secretary, Joseph Goebbells IV?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh
WCS

The best press secretary EVAH. You won’t even believe how good a job he’s gonna do. It’s reich up his alley, folks. Believe me.

nomonkeyfun

Well you know Trump likes shock women with the come behind fucking.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Trump is a little confused about the prospect of appointing a secretary who he’ll have no interest in sexually assaulting.

Spur

that’s a bad spot

“Well, guess I’m tossing this white suit in the nearest dumpster then.”

That is much better mine.

Dude,you’re telling me brah. My cerebral cortex has been fucked up since yesterday.

-Gronk

Giselle says there is no bad spot for her tools. I have to agree.

“that’s a bad spot”

– Michael Vick, consigning himself to hell

Spur

A game in Mexico? Which team are the Mexican fans going to throw balloons filled with piss at?

Unsurprised

Both

LemonJello

All of them.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Hopefully the ones in the black & white striped shirts (assuming Hochuli is reffing).

Sharkbait

Over/Under on number of anti Trump signs for that game?

Bengals defense is a little angry about that first drive I see

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I just asked my wife if she wants the D tonight and she said no thank you, so I suggested she tune in to this game.

OK, so no D tonight. That’s cool, I just like to stay informed.

LemonJello

Flag for the FLAG GODS!

Spur

Damn, Eifert has wheels for a tight end

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly
Smithchez

Oh, ok. This is gonna be one of THOSE games.

Spur

Someone should tell The Bengals this isn’t a playoff game.

Unsurprised

I fucking broke today.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It was yesterday for me.

Smithchez

Someone should probably tell Cincinnati the game started

Spanky Datass

Chad OchoCinco: *staring at watch* “But coach, it’s only six thirty?”

Marvin: “You forgot to allow for the time change.”

Chad: But time DIDN’T change, LOOK! *Shoves watch in Marvin’s face*

Marvin: “No Chad, New Jersey is in a different time zone.”

Chad: ??????? CARBOAT!

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Hiya, kids!

Did y’all make me a millionaire yet?

Sharkbait

You’ll soon have my money.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Most of the money goes to Zazzle. My commission is pitifully small, since I know DFOers need cash for alcohol, strippers and bail.

LemonJello

Makes hand motions he saw in Dr. Strange:

“Abra-kapocus, you’re a millionaire!”

DAAAaawwww, look, he’s all ascared of the big purple guys…

“Will Tye” sounds like the kind of phrase you’d see in a Craigslist ad posted by Rex Ryan.

Let’s Go Cincy!

Those kids are lucky they weren’t singing in Philly

Old School Zero

The article picture makes me think Christian Bale in good makeup could play Tom Coughlin in the film version of 18-1.

Evening.
Too celebrate the fantastic Cowboy victory, I rocked an Oxford button down crop top to work. HR can suck it!

Sleeveless?

I hate social media burns that are way disproportionate and petty.

Why don’t they just fuck and kill each other, and leave us alone?

So gronk played most of last night’s game with a punctured lung. Having had one of these myself when I was young all I can say is that is damn good hustle. Fucking insane and extremely detrimental to ones health, but damn good hustle nonetheless.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

He just thought it was a weird STD symptom.

JustStopDude

Oh what are the chances the Giants and ESPN had a film crew to tape this moment.

LemonJello

I missed if they said it was his actual ring, or a replica/replacement ring?

litre_cola

We are getting rings now? I thought it was just a poster! What a day!

litre_cola

I am.watching old Cops instead of the pregame. Whaddaya think of that Berman??????

Sharkbait

*Puts on serious hat*

Fuck Alzheimer’s. My wife’s grandfather is wasting away from this disease and probably won’t see the weekend. As someone who has a history of this in their family, its sad to see what is happening right now, and is also fucking terrifying at the same time.

*Takes off serious hat

Now where’s my bourbon?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

While not as bad by itself; full blown dementia is not a picnic either.

*But a picnic may be occasionally be imagined.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

A mix of the two, which is usually what happens I guess, is a real fucking banquet.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Sincere condolences to your grandfather in law, but more to the family dealing with it. Been thru it with my maternal grandfather, and also Parkinsons with dementia with my father. Degenerative neurological shit ain’t fun for anybody involved.

Hang in there.

Sharkbait

Much appreciated. The wife is taking it pretty hard since she was the first granddaughter and was very close to him.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Totally understood. Give her my regards if it seems appropriate to her for imaginary folk to care.

Sharkbait

I’ll pass it along regardless. Certainly can’t hurt.

JustStopDude

Crazy MNF fact of the game…

Trent Dilfer once won a Super Bowl!

I’m not him per say…he really didn’t do shit in that game. But he was on the team!

LemonJello

These are the New York FOOTBALL Giants, correct?

entropy

No, the New York ACTUAL Giants. Game should be over in about thirty seconds after they stomp the Bengals flat. The rest of the scheduled airtime will be the Giants scraping those flat bastards off their shoes.

LemonJello

But they’re not Frost Giants, right? Because Odin made ridding Midgard of the Frost Giants one of his tent pole issues for selection as the All Father.

Kungjitsu

I would watch the fuck out of Donald Trump gouging out his own eye.

As long as Shepard puts up 0 points….
