Your “A Broken Clock Gets It Right Once A Year” Thursday Night Football Open Thread

Well lookee here! We got ourselves a great tilt between two superior teams with a history between them and a division lead in the mix. Everyone says that 2016 started going downhill right after David Bowie was shot to death in that zoo enclosure but if that is what it takes to finally get a quality matchup on a Thursday night I’m good with it. Or maybe that had nothing to do with it. Perhaps this is the NFL Scheduling Squad’s version of Susan Boyle walking on to The Gong Show’s stage. Did I just reference “The Gong Show”? I couldn’t be more embarrised. TO THE GAME!

Oak/KC-This game speaks for itself but I have to type something otherwise I won’t not get the money that isn’t owed to me. The last team to beat the Raiders? You bet it was the Las Vegas Golden Knights, er, the Chiefs. The Raiders have won 6 straight and the Chiefs are 20-4 over their last twenty-four games. As good as the Raiders have played they are vulnerable to the run game. They gifted the Bills with 212 yards on the ground and a 7.1 yards per carry average just last week. We all know how committed KFC HC Reid is to the run/short-passing game and perhaps this will be an effective antidote to the ridiculous awesomeness that is Khalil Mack. Oakland’s offensive line is rated just behind the Cowboys and since week 8 the Chiefs have averaged 3 sacks per game-SOMETHING MUST GIVE!

As always, check out the crazy goings-on at Free Ballin’ Football down below. Has Bill finally come to terms with his heterosexuality? When will Josh finally admit that the bunny slippers belong to him? Where did Tim’s toenail-clippings diorama disappear to? Will someone finally explain to Nick the difference between ‘peanuts’ and ‘penis’? For the answers to these questions and some quality jaw-wagging about NFL-related goings-on check it out.

uh oh, tiny hands…

Sharkbait

What the fuck did Trump do now???

Old School Zero

Best seasonal beers I’ve had this year, in order, are Great Divide Hibernation, Victory Winter Cheer, and Ninkasi Sleighr.

One special was the 2015 Hair Of The Dog Doggie Claws aged in a concrete egg. That thing was amazing.

Sharkbait

Fall still is the best beer drinking season, but I do love a good porter in the winter.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

For me, it’s vodka season 12 months out of every year.

Sebastian Janikowski is the counterpoint to the argument that pig and elephant DNA just won’t splice.

Old School Zero

What do you get when you cross an elephant and a rhino?

Elephi–WRONG! SEABAS, MOTHERFUCKER!

RAIDAHS

Curse of Marino

THAT’s the Alex Smith I know

Old School Zero

I can’t wait for the holiday season to get into full swing so that we can celebrate time honored traditions like accusing our fellow citizens of not celebrating correctly.

Unsurprised

So they never landed on the moon right? I mean as humans way more countries would have done so as a who’s dick is bigger type deal and gone there and planted a flag, like the North Pole.

Curse of Marino

Right in the jaw.

Curse of Marino

John Glenn.

Also verbally abused his opponent in a senate race when his opponent suggested he never held a real job: https://library.osu.edu/documents/ohio-congressional-archives/documents/Gold%20Star%20Mother%20speech.pdf

Curse of Marino

Probably one of the greatest verbal bitch slappings in human history

jjfozz

Fucking bad ass.

If this was broadcast in today’s media, there would be a mass shitting of pants.

What in fuck happened to this country?

Unsurprised

Guys like Glenn became Senators and ruined shit

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Even Al isn’t buying the shit he’s selling.

jjfozz

THIS ALEX SMITH, I CALL HIM A MIDGET MESSIAH, BECAUSE HIS TINY HANDS ARE WORKING MIRACLES

Brocky

Dad: Man, just every time I see Andy Reid looking at his play sheet, I swear it looks like he’s glancing at a menu

Brocky just grins and nods with pride.

Sharkbait

Good evening folks.

1) Can the Ice iggles stop winning please?

2) As always, Roger Goodell is a national disgrace.

Gratliff

Is it not enough that the actual iggles have completely abandoned winning?

King Hippo

he in

Old School Zero

Del Rio trying to get into Reid’s head by mismanaging the clock.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Never before have I rooted for the lawyers to win but nobody else.

Curse of Marino

Those yellow gloves are fucking with me.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Where’s tWBS? Did he give up on us because he thinks we’re not funny? Or is he just busy masturbating?

Curse of Marino

Layup? Nah. Open three maybe.

litre_cola

I hate everything right now. Will I continue watching? Yes, I love pain.

Company wide email today congratulated someone on their work anniversary, and referenced the fact that it was on Pearl Harbor day, a day that we also “celebrated.”

One of the partners corrected that mistake, via a “Reply All.”

Jesus Christ on a kangaroo, how are people that fucking stupid?

Unsurprised

I don’t understand how more people don’t accidentally kill themselves getting out of bed

BrettFavresColonoscopy

In honor of Pearl Harbor Day, Roger Goodell will act surprised that he’s a piece of dogshit

Is that the Mighty Glow Cloud?

Old School Zero

Bingo!

Unsurprised

I’m listening to All Things Considered (even though I hate it and hate Ira Glass) about people trying to change how other people think and I am fascinated in a sick way because that never works. You cannot just persuade people to change how they think by talking to them. It’s fucking futile. People are too fucking stupid to ever bother with.

Unsurprised

This sad fucking debate nerd. Loser.

Just what we need, another Chiefs linebacker taking himself out.

Senor Weaselo

THIS GAME I CALL IT THE SPANISH INQUISITION BECAUSE THE GROUP IN RED IS ENFORCING THEIR WILL AND I DIDN’T EXPECT IT.

King Hippo

wait, OAKLAND was offside on the kickoff? How do you manage that shit?

Gratliff

Holy shit. Flyera retake the lead twice after two separate two goal deficits to go up 6-5 with a minute to go.

Senor Weaselo

6-5? Please tell me it wasn’t Ma—DAMMIT.

Gratliff

In his defense, he has been on a batshit crazy hot streak.

Horatio Cornblower

Travis Kelce is either really awesome or a total asshole.

I just can’t decide.

Old School Zero

These two things are certainly not mutually exclusive.

King Hippo

also it’s NAWT TAUNTING IF UR WHITE apparently, amirite??

WCS

We’ve secretly replaced the 2016 Oakland Raiders with the 2006 Oakland Raiders. Let’s see if anyone notices…

Old School Zero

Insert Benny Hill music (Tyreek Hill remixxx)

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I am currently feeling less comfortable with my Raiders +3 pick.

King Hippo

At least I wouldn’t have gotten points for Hill’s return TD anyway, per league rules. Fuck a duck.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Oh good, now the Raiders have completed the trifecta of shitty play. Offense, defense, AND special teams.

jjfozz

THIS GAME, I CALL IT MY FIRST TIME I GOT LAID, BECAUSE IT’S COLD AND NOT LIVING UP TO MY EXPECTATIONS

BrettFavresColonoscopy

And you can’t stop crying?

King Hippo

My kid brought me up a banana nut muffin from the bunch she baked. As it is my bedroom and she brought no plate, I ate it over the toilet at the commercial break to avoid making crumbs in the bed.

/ANDY REID MOMENTS

Horatio Cornblower

Andy Reid wouldn’t have left the bed.

Amateur.

Unsurprised

NPR has a podcast called How I Built That. The newest episode is with/about Mark Cuban, WHO HAS NEVER FUCKING BUILT A MOTHERFUCKING THING IN HIS ENTIRE LIFE!

He was otherwise useless but a core member of the team that sold vaporware to Yahoo! and hasn’t done a fucking thing since except buy the Mavericks.

Horatio Cornblower

Have we discussed why the Raiders are wearing white for color rush and not black?

Because that’s fucking stupid.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I just turned on the hotel tv. I’m struggling to find the game but did find two women petting live rabbits while speaking in what i believe to be French.

Unsurprised

That sounds infinitely more satisfying to watch

Senor Weaselo

Which one of them is Lennie?

Old School Zero

Turning away from the shocking events unfolding before us–increasing Chefs competence–I’m facepalming a bit every time an article comes out shocked at how extreme the views are of a cabinet pick or other right-wing individual suddenly coming to power. Did people believe that the last eight years pulled those on the right towards more moderate positions? Hell, the last twenty, thirty years? Insert frog in pot of water coming to a boil thing here, I guess.

Unsurprised

People are fucking stupid. This is why I finally decided to stop giving a fuck about politics and people and just focus on myself. I cannot and will not give any more fucks.

jjfozz

I’ve said it before, my family isn’t rich or poor enough for politicians to give a shit about.

It’s root, hog or die and I’m focusing on the 4 people I’m responsible for – fuck the rest of the world.

Unsurprised

I’ve sp— No, I’ve wastedmy entire life on this shit and it hasn’t gotten me anything or made me be or feel even the slightest bit useful. I’m sick of this shit. I moved 2,000 miles away to get away from that fucking life and goddamn it I’m going to do it.

(BTW, I just met with a new therapist. Good guy. I think this is going to go well.)

King Hippo

Look at it this way – ANYTHING one does with one’s life is a waste, really.

Unsurprised

Indeed

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

People are a rational bunch.

Old School Zero

That’s the other thing I keep thinking on these baffled left wing columnists and bloggers–remember that everyone IS rational, in their own subjective way. Just because their position appears extreme and insane to you does not mean that they consider themselves extreme or insane–they think themselves completely rational and holding truer beliefs than their opposition. We can’t keep thinking that they’re somehow irrational and that they’ll just see the light–they will not waver from their beliefs, and their beliefs will inform their actions. To them their beliefs are rational and reality and normal.

Unsurprised

They’re irrational because they won’t ever see how stupid they are.

Old School Zero

Stupidity and self-awareness have never been close friends, it’s true.

Unsurprised

No they aren’t. They think they are, but they also think they’re good people and have value to humanity and the world and basically I hate everyone and hope the world explodes.

jjfozz

My wife kept telling me, “He’s going to surround himself with experienced, competent people.”

I never knew that was another term for “batshit insane and completely unqualified”.

Next 4 years are gonna be like the Keystone Kops on meth and LSD, and they’re armed.

Unsurprised

“My wife kept telling me, ‘He’s going to surround himself with experienced, competent people.'”

Like George W. Bush did.

King Hippo

And the dumbass idiot fatass “joe sixack Real Murrikans” elected a vapid fucking Fascist President. Who exactly did they expect him to surround himself with??

The media ought to be ashamed of themselves, their false equivalence bullshit is part of the reason WE ARE HE AND ALL GONNA DIE in the first place.

Old School Zero

Yup. Complete enabling by the fourth estate, allowing for a fifth column takeover, so the only solution is SIX SIX SIX… THE NUMBER OF THE BEAAAAAST!

King Hippo

Now Carr will have to throw and Hippo will lose in fantasy, too. Plus I hate the goddamned Chefs.

jjfozz

THIS RAIDERS DEFENSE, I CALL IT A BIKINI, BECAUSE IT’S DISAPPEARED IN THE COLD

Unsurprised

Maybe Trump can increase Russian imports

Spies Like Us?

Unsurprised

Fuck yeah.

Horatio Cornblower

Not gonna lie, I’m pretty surprised Andy Reid didn’t challenge the referee’s decision that Alex Smith wasn’t over the line on that last throw.

WCS

What is this competence Alex Smith is demonstrating?

Spur

Travis Kelce gets all the KC strange huh?

Curse of Marino

Its 20 degrees out and the Cheerleaders are covering up? Bullshit. Lets see those nipples.

Unsurprised

Charles Dickens would want to see their nipples

“Combo platter?” Andy Reid licks his lips, searches Yelp for Chinese restaurants
