Your Late Afternoon Tri-Medley of Games Open Thread

My old crew of buddies prided ourselves on creating our own little vernacular. If I had said, “‘Tri-Medley’?-is that even a freakin’ word?” My buddies would immediately respond in unison, “It is now.” And then we would add it to our nomenclature. Damn, I miss those fellas. TO THE TRI-MEDLEY OF GAMES!!!!

Mia/LA-Jared “No, I’m Not That Guy-I Hate Subway!” Goff makes his pro debut just days before fans/media associated with the team were going to lynch HC Fisher. Say your goodbye’s to Case Keenum’s starting career-he was everything everyone thought he would be. The Fins have reeled off 4 straight and they still have the Niners, Jets and Cards left to play. The bad news is that the Ravens, the Bills on the road and the Pats are looming in the gloaming. If Miami grabs a wildcard spot they will have earned it. By the by, qb Tanneyhill hasn’t thrown the ball into the hands of the opposition in 4 games. If he makes it to 5 he’s got the record for his team.

NE/SF-The Gronk and wr Hogan are out. Te Bennett and wr Edeleman are licking their wounds and aren’t at full strength. Bill Murray’s line from that movie that I can’t remember seems apropos-“IT JUST DOESN’T MATTER!” Pats romp and Brady gets at least 4 scores because he knows I need it desperately.

Phi-Sea-Oh looky! A game that might be eyeball-worthy! If the Seahawks close this one out, look for them to go on a major roll because they’ve got easily winnable games from here on out. All four of the Eagles losses have been on the road-expect that number to swell to five after the clock hits 0:00. Some team has to fall behind in the “Oprah wears a micro-bikini”-tight NFC East and I’m betting it’s HC Pederson’s crew.

There… GET AT IT BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!!

1 hour left til Westworld… I mean 37 min til kickoff! Woo!

ThePirateSloth

So. My dive bar.

The owner just stopped in a bit ago. Her boyfriend, upon seeing myself and 2 other patrons says: ” well damn, no wonder no one comes in to this bar on Sundays, the Seahawks are on”.

And then the owner proceeds to advertise (and make sure the Mon night bartender, who is here now) that tomorrow night, they’re having MNF party!!!!!!!!!! so everyone should come!!!!

To a different bar in differemt neighborhood.

Are you fucking kidding me?

Brocky

so after 5 months, these two had an epic stare down to reignite their feud

Shogun Marcus

Why is Rodney Harrison?

Romonobyl

Not Faith Hill’s legs in 40 min.

WCS

Bud Light is the perfect official beer for the NFL: flashy and cliched on the outside, horrible, god-awful product on the inside.

Romonobyl

Nothing says Philly like a trash time brutal injury.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

After yet another Eagle going down, we’re ready for Houston to come in and defend her record

Horatio Cornblower

I just found out that my favorite brewery is releasing my favorite beer tomorrow, when they’re usually not open but are for the Thanksgiving week. There will be a huge line. They open at noon and are in Massachusetts.

That 2 pm deposition in Hartford is not gonna start on time.

Romonobyl

Please say it isn’t pumpkin-spiced…please????

Horatio Cornblower

It is not. Here’s a review of it.

https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/28743/125646/

There’s only a couple of pumpkin-flavored beer that I like, (Dogfish Head makes a good one), but I wouldn’t go out of my way to get any of them. This one I’m going to drive 40 minutes each way and likely stand in line for 45 minutes, depending on what the second beer they release tomorrow is.

Old School Zero

Fucking yum.

Romonobyl

That’s some no-nonsense ABV.

Senor Weaselo

Ooh, now we get the rare “Sibling’s a soccer player” call. Now if only I gave a damn…

Dunstan

See you all for Packers-Slurs?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’ve got a bunch of laundry to fold, so yeah, I guess so. I need like 50 points from Aaron Rodgers to have any chance at beating OldSchoolZero.

Romonobyl

Dammit, you would have to remind me about laundry.

Shogun Marcus

I have little choice but to watch the next swirl round of my team. I would hope the Dok makes it! Mebbe she’s seeking cups.

Horatio Cornblower

At least until Westworld comes on.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I feel like in conjunction with words like “undefeated” and “winless” there should be a word for “being 2 games under .500” and that word should be “jeffisher”.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

You could use it in expressions like “regression to the jeffisher”.

Beerguyrob

A bunch of Mularkey?

Brocky

wwe survivor series commentary:

If Tom Brady goes down its not like BIll Belichik is going to play quarterback for the patriots.

not sure if that would be:

a) Awesome

b) Shitty

c) awesomely shitty

King Hippo

Anything past 8 yards is a duck. Yeah, this was the #1 overall pick.

Beerguyrob

Bobby Wagner with a better spear than Goldberg.

King Hippo

YUP, an immediate checkdown, followed by dick holding, then a timeout. PRICELESS.

Beerguyrob

The goddess of mediocrity shall not be denied.

King Hippo

I look forward to seeing how Jeff Fisher and Jared Goff monkeyfuck these last 29 seconds.

Dunstan

And the answer is: with some Andy Reid-Donovan McNabb clock management

laserguru

The hotdish is a single dish casserole. Think of it as something you bring to a potluck or a funeral.
Saute 1/2 an onion minced, brown 1 lb of ground beef add in some minced garlic and salt and pepper.
Stir in a can of cream of mushroom soup, maybe a 1/2 can of sweet corn. Dump everything into a baking dish. Cover with a layer of cheese, Jack works well here, and an orderly layer of tater tots and bake in a 375 degree oven for 35-40 minutes.

Delightful.

My dear departed Ma would be damn proud of me today.

Old School Zero

For a potluck last night, I did a baked mac and cheese: rotini bathed in beschamel with sharp white cheddar, fontina, smoked gouda, and wisconsin-made gruyere. Stuffed it full of sauteed onion, mushroom, and spinach, and then topped with parsley-bread crumbs and crisped up shallot. I do calories RIGHT.

laserguru

This is why my weekday meals are so goddamn Spartan. I save up to do the weekend calories the right way.

That sounds glorious.

Old School Zero

Exactly. Simple weekday meals, slow food Sunday ridiculousness.

Romonobyl

Sounds similar to the root vegetable gratin made every holiday at my house. Gruyere is the king of melting cheeses in my kitchen.

Old School Zero

Gruyere is my favorite base cheese flavor, even above cheddar, especially since it’s often less grainy. Regular supermarket cheese bin (or Boar’s Head) fontina is perfect for adding significant smoothness without much extra flavor–closest real cheese to velveeta that I’ve found. Root veggie gratin sounds amazing.

Shogun Marcus

Are all the kickers minority Muslim women? Cuz I’m pretty sure they’re all getting rounded up come tomorrow.

King Hippo

Inshallah, Shogun. smh

Old School Zero

Daaaaaaamn.

Senor Weaselo

Lesbian Mexican-Muslim trans women, to be precise!

Dunstan

MAKE AMERICA NOT SHANK AGAIN!

Senor Weaselo

HAIL SHANKLOR

Beerguyrob

WIDE-SCHKA

Dunstan

Miami hoping to give us all one more Shank to finish the afternoon…

Horatio Cornblower

The announcers at the SF-NE game have been reduced to discussing pumpkin pie vs. pecan pie.

Which is fucking stupid, because the correct answer is either apple or blueberry.

Romonobyl

My wife’s pumpkin cheesecake with bourbon whipped cream. Any further argument is invalid.

Beerguyrob

If they get to crumble, it’s all over. Crumble is the Thin Mints of desserts.

Romonobyl

Ever heard of a buckle? What about a buckle?!?!

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

Strawberry Rhubarb or GTFO

Romonobyl

Rhubarb is nothing more than Ma Nature’s failed attempt to poison humanity.

Horatio Cornblower

And so started The DFO Pie Wars, about which we shall never speak again, out of respect for the slaughtered.

Romonobyl

“Well, from the amount of Cool Wip splattered on that wall, looks like we lost another one.”

King Hippo

I just noticed Jeff Fisher is wearing a BACKWARDS baseball cap. I assume he lost a bet of some sort.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I guarantee his hat size is 7-9/16.

WCS
Beerguyrob

Liouns getting walloped in Calgary.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

WHY THE FUCK DOES REDZONE KEEP CUTTING AWAY FROM THE ONLY ONE SCORE GAME?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Do you think matchmakers try to fix up Tracy Wolfson and Drew Brees?

Old School Zero
King Hippo

power blackout??

Romonobyl

Viagra single-packs, so you can still get it up after seeing your high-maintenance trophy wife’s AMEX bill.

Dunstan

Touch… down? Miami????

King Hippo

who goddamned cares, everybody beats SF. Even the AZ shitbirds. BACK TO LA!!

Gratliff

Lesnar-Goldberg is going to be an abortion. This could be a really bad night for both Sportsball and Pro Graps.

blackroseMD1

The continued murdering of WCW legends is just annoying. Especially what happened with Triple H and Sting.

blackroseMD1

Oh fuck you Tom Brady.

WCS
Dunstan

I don’t even know what this is in reference to, but I generally approve of the sentiment.

Old School Zero

GAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THIS GIF IS DRIVING ME CRAZY

http://blogfiles.wfmu.org/KF/2016/11/09/2016_fails_WAY_TOO_BIG.gif

Dunstan

DOINK! Another offering!

herodotus450

Doinklor can be the swan from whose head Shanklor burst forth from

herodotus450

Or no wait, crap, that’s just his nickname; his real name is Peter Doinklage

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

SHANKOR IS PLEASED.

Dunstan

Am I supposed to be impressed that Sprint hired the former Verizon pitchman? “Like, gosh, that guy REALLY used to like Verizon, so if HE’S convinced!”

Gratliff

It is truly the “Hulk Hogan Signs With WCW” of shitty phone commercials.

Senor Weaselo

So I see RAMIT has a probably-insurmountable 4-score lead. Or is it 5-score?

King Hippo

I’m not sure TannyFanny and palz could catch up if Ram It! left the field.

Col. Duke LaCross

5 safeties would only tie it, so it’s a 6-score lead.
