Your “I Can’t Bear To Watch!” [watches] Under-Cooked Saturday Night NFL Special

As Pat Benatar once said, “Loving Football is a Battlefield”* and we’ve got a near-impossible obstacle to hurdle directly in front of our eyebulbs. Perhaps you’ll choose other entertainment options-whatever you do, pop in and say “Hell!” or “Hello”, it makes no matter. Let us know what you’re up to, why you’re doing it, how much you’re being paid for it and what kinds of decisions led to the moral abyss you currently inhabit. No one is going to laugh and point unless you’re the kind that gets off on that sort of thing. Freak. Again, this is a no-judgement zone. TO THE GAME!

Mia/NYJ-Clipboard-fancier extraordinaire Matty “No Ice in my Room Temperature Water” Moore gets the start for the Finskis. He’s tossed the ball in games that matter a total of 35 times since 2012 so he should be good for an interception or two. “What about his fumbling? Is that an issue?”, you ask, out of turn as usual. Sighing, I reply, “why yes, in fact he has fumbled the ball 23 times in 25 starts”. So of course the Jets D is going stripping tonight. Bryce Petty has a much smaller body of work but the stat sheet says that he’s at 50% on throws that involve some sort of ability yet is an Alex Smith-like (10 for 10) in his check-down passing. What makes this game entertaining to me is that the weather in East Rutherford is going to be a big fat mess. Cheer for one of these teams, Mother Nature or that solid prop bet you just made. (the “over” on # of turnovers) I’ll see you on the other side.

Done. GIVE IT TO ME!

Unsurprised

I was going to make some snarky comment about how a bunch of people I know in NM were at the NM Bowl and how of course it’s a big deal, it’s not like there’s anything to do there and that’s why they are still in New Mexico.

I am an asshole. Because who fucking cares? They had fun. I slept in and dicked around online all day. Who’s really better off?

Dunstan

Well, let’s not underestimate sleeping in and dicking around online all day. A couple of fine gentlemanly pursuits.

Horatio Cornblower

Cool. More points for me.

THANKS FITZPATRICK!

Unsurprised

I nominate the Garbage God be named in honor of Jeff Fisher.

King Hippo

Fading Bilal Powell to the bitter end, because these dumb fucks won’t take a knee with Miami trying to kill everyone.

Senor Weaselo

THESE NEW YORK JETS I CALL THEM THE RELIANT ROBIN SPACE SHUTTLE BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE LOWEST EXPECTATIONS OF SUCCESS, YOU GET YOUR HOPES UP FOR A SHORT WHILE, AND THEN IT ALL COMES CRASHING DOWN TO EARTH IN A GIANT FIERY EXPLOSION.

I’ve got the Miami D going for me in the OSZ FF play-offs and that is the only reason I’m looking at this game.

In between UFC, various bowl games and seeing what HBO has on.

King Hippo

STOP GODDAMNED DOING THAT.

JustStopDude

Okay…painting an entire house…in the winter time…may not have been my brightest idea.

I got fans running and the windows cracked to get air flowing. It is nut hugging cold…

I got my parents bundled up in the living room where they got heat and the fumes aren’t that bad. I am sleeping in the hallway…well attempting to…upstairs.

I’m not really getting the joy that huffers claim they get off of cans.

So after a 2 hour, no joke, pizza ordeal where a new driver couldnt find our place which they have for 10 years. I was so angry but when he eventually showed up I was so happy for cold pizza, I forgave him.

Unsurprised

“What are you doing, Unsurprised?”

“Eating pizza and looking at gifs of Chrissy Teigen doing aerobics in a sexy leotard, Other Unsurprised.” http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/d8vxjom10axu6t89ss96484dcvkfc26p

“Good times, Unsurprised.”

“Indeed, Other Unsurprised.”

theeWeeBabySeamus

This game sucks.

...

Hottest take.

King Hippo

yet we are ALL still watching it. A fine case study we make.

Dunstan

THIS GUY MATT MOORE, I CALL HIM MY PENIS, BECAUSE HE DOESN’T SEE MUCH ACTION BUT STILL SORT OF GETS THE JOB DONE

ALXMAC
Dunstan

Ah, Alan. He reminded us to take the good, take the bad, to take them both, and there you have the facts of life.

And also that the world don’t move to the beat of just one drum.

Rest in peace, you crazy bastard.

Recovery Whiskey

Died playing hockey with his kids. Canadian Valhalla

King Hippo

yeah, most days mine urinates adequately too. I will take that, given the options.

ALXMAC
Recovery Whiskey

Isnt this the part where fights in the stands are better than the game on the field

King Hippo

For a Jets fan, you mean “that part that’s October onwards”

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I hope some NFC East team picks up Jerry Jones grandson in the draft in 4 years and he goes on to beat the Cowboys in the division for 15 years.

JustStopDude

His grandson plays football?

I can’t think of a better example of the Jones family being batshit fucking insane.

The kid is set for life…WHY RISK HIS BRAIN?!?!

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Yep, appearently just won the Texas HS Football championship

Dunstan

Eh, intelligence is partly hereditary. Not a lot at stake.

JustStopDude

Okay…looking at the stat line on my phone…because I have no fucking energy to even walk down to the TV and tuarn it on…

How has the game been? What the fuck is a B. Petty? Are the Dolphins a potential playoff team or is this just the JEST being the JEST?

Dunstan

To answer your questions in order:
1. Shitty.
2. Also shitty.
3. No, the Dolphins are shitty, the JETS are just shittier.

King Hippo

so much shit, they could sell it in syndication to the Germans

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

1) Meh. 2) Someone with broken ribs. 3) a) Yes, but they will lose the first game b) JEST being JEST

...

Jets have looked genuinely awful. Totally overmatched for most of the game.

King Hippo

Heard this with the kids in the car today. Raise yo fist!

Senor Weaselo

So… Hackenberg comes in and entropy’s preview comes to fruitiou?

King Hippo

bless you shitty Dolphins for at least keeping Powell out the endzone. Give David Johnson a fucking chance tomorrow at least.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hey, at least Ryan Fitzpatrick supercharged that j-e-t-s JETS JETS JETS offense.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Do you think Harvard teaches guys to come from behind? Or is that just the naval academy?

Col. Duke LaCross

I thought that was the whole “Yale thing?”

Senor Weaselo

At least the Ice Giants beat the Ice Titans, because they DON’T suck.

King Hippo

well, that’ll leave a mark. And a little poop in the undies.

Bloody Lethal

Unsurprised

They paroled Darren Sharper?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Jeff Fisher, Todd Bowles, or Rich Kotite?

Col. Duke LaCross

Figures Ajaiayayayai would be the one RB that doesn’t torch the Jets D in the last month. And in my booze league semis to boot. Fuck the Dolphins.

King Hippo

Vince Evans! I vaguely remember that guy.

JustStopDude

So I am wrapping up painting the first couple coats of primer on the upstairs walls. As I am cleaning things up for the day, I notice weird noises coming from the first floor….Christmas music. My parents are slow dancing in the living room….I am assuming this is because of the massive amount of paint fumes we are all inhaling. I walk past to get some water from the kitchen…

“If you two start screwing, I am putting the house back the way it was”.

Dad yells at me for being vulgar. I walk back into the living room and my mom asks if I want to eat.

“Nah…I’m just tired. I’m gonna take a shower and just go to sleep”

“Hold on. I’ll get the kettle on for the bath”

“Ma! We already fixed the water heater…”

“Oh yeah!”

I also got a text from my sister. She wants me to go in half for a set of flowers and a diner with the folks when she arrives. I just tell her okay. She replies…

“And when I get there. You and me are talking about THIS STUNT YOU PULLED!”

I bet my sister lets it slip that she knew my parents didn’t have hot water. I get the feeling that this Christmas, my relationship with my parents will finally be fixed…and I will go 10 years without speaking to my sister.

...

So… two steps forward one step back?

JustStopDude

Story of my fucking life.

My sister and mother talk constantly. I almost never talk to my folks. These last couple of days, I have interacted with my parents verbally more than I have in the past 15 years. I haven’t been allowed in their home since I was in the military.

I swear to god if my sister knew my parents were living like this and made no attempt to help them or get me involved to help them…

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Someone requested music on par with tonight’s game quality?

Evenin’, bitches.

It’s ok, New York. At least you still can lay claim to the greatest Christmas song of all time:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9jbdgZidu8

Senor Weaselo

That’s not even the best NYC Christmas song!

Lori Petty is not a good QB.
Just saying.

King Hippo

Tank Girl gon tank, just sayin’

BrettFavresColonoscopy

If anything good happens in the game between the safety video and losing wifi, I trust that’s an impossibility.

King Hippo

a safety would be too perfect…

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Because my whiskey is terrible and cheap my “shots” are double shots of whiskey and an equal or usually lesser amount of diet coke with a tiny sip chaser of diet coke. The problem is when I leave my “shot” for awhile after I poured it, I sometimes forget if I poured in the booze or just the flat soda I use to cut it and do it again and get a quad shot. That just happened and is how I end up getting way too drunk.

...

Cheap whiskey and Coke reminds me of so many bad college hangovers.

Senor Weaselo

Well you’re not gonna pour it out. You are not throwing away your shot.
/Cue someone slapping me in the back of the head in 3…

Fronkenshteen

Contract the Jets. At some point, you have to deserve to exist, and they don’t.

...

Well, it’ll be interesting seeing Jay Cutler perched atop the Shit Heap That Is the New York Jets next year. He’ll have an even BIGGER city hating him!

Dunstan

“If I can
Make it there, I…
don’t care.”

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

So Bowles is fired for sure now, right?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

It’s what Trump supporters were voting for.

Senor Weaselo

We replaced the first-half Jets with the New York Jets. Let’s see who notices.

theeWeeBabySeamus
Col. Duke LaCross

Jets ded.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yup

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Holy shit, were pushing back. Allegedly taking off. Doomed to watch the second half on this tin can, but probably refusing to buy wifi to spite hippo. See you all on the flip side.

...

Jesus the Jets are shit.

Dunstan

The less-popular sequel to Are You There God, It’s Me, Margaret?

King Hippo

It would be great if teh Jesus came back for the sole reason to write an increasingly agitated, gonzo series of pre-teen fiction.

Fronkenshteen

That’s fucking great.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

There are your points Hippo

King Hippo

If only there was a crazy world in which I had a high roller league in which I really DID start him. That would be the hot streak of a lifetime.

King Hippo

THAT MATT MOORE/DION SIMS STACK WILL NAWT BE DENIED

jjfozz

If your crust sucks, then your pizza is a waste of time and fuck you

Fronkenshteen

Jets have spit the bit.

King Hippo

These refs do NOT have Dion Sims in fantasy.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Forearm was down, so close

Fronkenshteen

Yeah Bowles. Petty is keeping you in this game. Go play with your Pom-pom, jerkoff.
