Here we are. Scotchy has, for some strange reason, been locked out of Word Press, so he can’t write up the Open Thread.
That pisses me off because:
1) I love his intros
2) I love Canada and Canadien histoire.
3) I’m literally in bed writing this on my phone and I’m just wanting to stay in bed and listen to the raindrops and watch some football.
First up, the Falcons host the Packers in what is sure to be a high-scoring even affair.
/braces himself for 6-3 at the half and then one team rattles off 30 unanswered in the second.
Who will win? Of that I’ve no idea. Who do i want to win? Well, that gets a bit tricky. This game really should be the second game so that i know who to root for.
If the Steelers were to pull off the upset and win, I’d want the weaker opponent, but if the weaker opponent wins and New England wins, then we’re just handing them the trophy already.
Fuck you, Goodell for scheduling the game like this! Well, to be fair, FUCK YOU GOODELL is as good a way as any to end a post. 200 words on the dot. Enjoy game!
That 60 point Over…gonna be close!

I bet the kid in that Hyundai commercial is a measles carrier.
15 minutes in a quarter, 60 seconds in a minute, 900 seconds in a quarter.
in 3 plays you have the potential to take a full 2 minutes off the clock.
if the game clock isn’t at a minimum 13:05 left before the falcons are doing it wrong
Andy Reid’s brain just ‘asploded.
I was told there would be no math
FOX SPORTS: …with special episodes of your favorite shows!
RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY: They’re airing episodes of Rick and Morty?
So does this mean they can finally fire McCarthy?
Nah. He’s like Fischer, except playoffs.
So secret contract extension and THEN fire him?
Extra box of ice cream sammiches per win, case per playoff round. Cheapest deal going.

CBS might actually be streaming this for free today? I don’t see anywhere that one must log-in here. Just FYI for those who don’t pay for any cable.

Haven’t seen that many cobbs outside a cornfield.
Sounds like the punchline of a really good racist joke.
RIPDEMPTION!!!
That’s a bullshit call. Clearly falling forward
Okay then
THE FRAG GAWDS REJECT THE PACKERS! IT IS THE END TIMES!!!!!!
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN I GIVE YOU PROOF OF THE PACKERS REFF…
okay, they made it up
McCarthy looks like he could go for a couplefew ice cream sammiches.
So much for letting them play in the playoffs. That was a very generous flag.
NEVER MIND THANKS REF
KD Lang has put on some weight.
hey, that constant craving….yada yada
Nicely played, Sir.
Fuck you Buck. Stop trying to invent a fucking narrative with the god damn re-route of the Packers traveling, the bye week was in Oct, injury report, flu, sickness… just fuck off you useless fucking douchenozzle.
The Falcons are simply the better team, stop trying to take that away from them.

This Ripkowski is no John Kuhn.
fat packers fans everywhere are blaming eddie lacey for the white rb’s problems
Fat Packers fans, otherwise known as…Packers fans.
So it’s… a good rim job?

THESE GREEN BAY PACKERS I CALL THEM YORKSHIRE TERRIERS CAUSE THEY ARE GETTING SLAUGHTERED BY THESE FALCONS.
that sounds both horrific and hilarious
I was thinking of the same damn thing
I miss that strip.
BANNER this Raider!!!
BUT ARE THE FALCONS LEGIT??

It is staggering the number of things Stephen Colbert had a hand in before he became a pop culture phenomenon.
I’m fairly sure that what the Falcons are doing to the Packers is against the Geneva Convention.
Did Trump buy the Falcons when we weren’t looking?
SHAN’KHOR: [blinks sleepily]
that mf is now just trolling me
i am waiting for them to ask Mike Pereira and for him to reply “who gives a flying fuck??”
What do you think Mike?
Well Joe, he had possession while breaking the plane. But also, the haunting spectre of death looms over us all, whose finality is out shadowed only by its inevitability. Speaking of which, here’s Jimmy Carter.
If we weren’t sure the Lamar Hunt trophy winner would be the Lombardi Trophy winner before…

That call’s fine, but why is it we’re still letting Bill Vinovich ref playoff games?
Suppressed Donks RAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sidenote, is anyone here watching The Good Place? Because none of my stupid friends and family can be convinced to watch a non-procedural-cop show and it’s already to the point where it might be the best comedy on television in terms of pure laughs.
Yep. Just watched the finale this morning. Hoping season 2 is confirmed.
I don’t find it laugh-out-loud funny all that often, but it’s amusing, interesting, and original.
I should, as Ted Danson is an underrated comic genius (he kicked ass in Bored to Death).
Underrated comic genius? Are you unaware of his twenty years on Cheers?
I saw him on half an episode of Becker.
I am 43! But of course. I am talking outside of that, he is totes underrated.
He’s hilarious here. I’d recommend going in blind, because there are a few twists and turns it’s better not to be spoiled on.
I haven’t seen this much lack of coverage since I was hiding in your bushes.
Joe: “Here’s Freeman. He’s a load.”
:Rodgers ears perk up:
Julio Jones is going to end up with a religion dedicated to him.
Can’t be worse than Jim Jones’ attempt.
What are you talking about? His retention rate was OUTSTANDING to the very end!!
Can’t think of a way to phrase this well, but something something “Jones” something something “should be in a museum”.
Unclassified Version:
“(11R) In a recent visit to a Youngstown Coffeeshop — Y-Town Coffee Roasters, exceptional service and what a wonderful interior with so many Youngstown banners in a state with so much OSU pride (the Buckeyes are just down the road) — I had a Jones for a latte. Normally one to just sip my drink, I admit that even I was taken back by the flavors. It was reminiscent of my first experience with a flat white. Once the Youngstown baseball practice was over, I returned to the Roasters to inquire about the flavors that had stolen the show, even while Parik Feldwell, the Penguins catcher, went 2 for 4 in a late-afternoon exhibition, including a triple. The secret ingredient? Nutmeg. I asked the manager if this is how they trained all their baristas. He waved me off — they call them CURATORS. I thought the drink was wonderful and hope Sean, my barista — that is, my CURATOR — ends of expanding on this title because that man’s talents should be in a museum.”
Nice. Catch.
I think I just got aroused by that catch
Inorite?
Okay – I just finished listening to the Freeballin’ podcast (Andy Reid eating timeouts like Pacman — best thing since DTZM suggesting the Rams move to London) while putting together Ikea drawer organizer shopping list (they do not offer enough options) so I am ready for some football!
Not for another hour you aren’t.
well looky-loo at this here optimist!!
well do we have a SURPRISE for you!!
If you are down 3 scores and haven’t stopped a single drive their offense has had why wouldn’t you try an onside kick
Because the NFL is conservative as shit. Who wants to try to win when you can play not to lose when you’re down by 24?
If you can’t stop the offense anyways, what does it matter if you give it to them on their own one or on the 50?
Jordy Nelson was wondering what the day is
