Your “WAKE UP, IT’S TIME FOR FOOTBALL!” AFC Championship Game Open Thread

 

GENERAL: Mr. President, Agent Scotchnaut is pinned down in Bucharest and can’t post the Open Thread this afternoon!

PRESIDENT RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY: [pulls up pants] I’ll handle…wait.  This seems familiar.

GENERAL: He’s getting 418’d!  THERE’S NO TIME!

PRESIDENT RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY: Fine, fine, sheesh.  You know, when my Russian handlers coerced me I signed up for this job of my own free will I didn’t realize I was going to have to work weekends too.

Okay, so we’ve got the Seahawks.  Oh, wait, no, Green Bay.  Oh, wait, no, this is the AFC.  Goddamn, why can’t I remember anything that happened to me last night?  It’s like I didn’t get any sleep at all.  My brain feels like a big bowl of clam chowdah.  As far as this game is concerned, against my will (which seems fitting), I’m rooting for (and picking) the Steelers.  The Patriots defense hasn’t been tested in any meaningful way, and I think the Steelers are going to be willing to sacrifice a good 45 yards worth of field position to take cheap shots at Tom Brady and ruin his cadence at the line after he loses his voice screeching at the officials.  But you’re not here for hot takes (mmm…hotcakes) – you’re here to make jokes.  Get to it.  Make with the laugh laugh!

Curse of Marino

One good game throughout the entire playoffs.

Spur

No, EVERY game was horrible.

litre_cola

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Brady flicked that flea like it was Gisele’s bean

Recovery Whiskey

This damn thing’s already over

Gratliff

God help us all

The Maestro

TOM BRADY FLEA FLICKER TD

I HAVE AN ERECTION

...

Fitting that after a season of mostly shitty football we’re subject to this.

Horatio Cornblower

If I’m Pittsburgh in the 2nd half I’m going to put someone on Hogan.

But that’s just me.

ThePirateSloth

God dammit.

Smithchez

You know, I feel like if the Steelers ever actually FUCKING COVERED THIS GUY, they might stand a slightly better chance of winning the game.

Spur

Steelers can’t stop 3rd down conversions

litre_cola

So, we all cheer for the Falcons next week?

this feels strange. Where is MOnty?

King Hippo

TWO weeks. SIGH.

I’m already onto Training Camp mode. Or really, suicide watch with a brief hiatus FOAR Championship Week and the NCAAT.

Brocky

steelers…..

not down by 17?

Dunstan

I would be in favor of cloning Fireman Ed if we could get the Fireman Ed Clone Army to fight the Patriots militia dudes to the death.

King Hippo

Little reminders of the upside of humanity’s imminent extinction

The Maestro

Better winning percentage outside of the AFC East during the Brady/Belichick era, but yeah, sure, ok.

Brocky

ah,

the afc south mark?

Recovery Whiskey

Theres another “hollywood is still out of ideas” movie remake.

King Hippo

I am very much at peace with never going to the movies again. Shit after shit after shit.

Shogun Marcus

Shogun Marcus

ThursdaySkyGoddess

Shogun Marcus

YOU PAY FOR JD POWER AWARDS. YOU’RE NOT SPESHUL.

blackroseMD1

Oh yay…emergency alert for flash flooding.

/grabs beers and innertube

King Hippo

don’t worry about it, we can just start DENYING things like flooding too!!

Dunstan

“Biggest manhunt ever”? Well, I guess Aaron Rodgers does have a lot of free time now.

ThursdaySkyGoddess

Found this sometime during the first game.

I can’t be the only one who could give absolutely less than negative shits about VR headsets, right?

The Maestro

Until I can feel exactly like I’m fucking Kate Upton when wearing one, there’s no point.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Inadequate?

Mr. Ayo

Agreed. Try a real one like the HTC Vive.

makeitsnowondem

They seem fun. I think there’ll have to be a bigger library of games before I consider getting one.

Shogun Marcus

The in-laws got me a Samsung vr for Xmas. Now I just gotta upgrade my phone…but my wife has a Galaxy 7. It is kinda cool actually.

King Hippo

yeah, NO THANKS, not when HBO has dangled fuckable robots that look like Evan Rachel Wood into my imaginarium…

Gratliff

Remember Perversions of Science? That had the episode where Kevin Pollak fucked a sex robot and it malfunctioned mid-coitus and locked down on his dick. It also had an episode where Ron Perlman accidentally made Hitler.

King Hippo

I would RISK IT for Evan Rachel Wood. And we already have Trump, so the risk of making Hitler 2 is potato, potahtoe

Sharkbait

Because when I think Asian, I think Matt Damon.

Dunstan

In Trump’s America, white actors are finally getting a chance to star in major films.

ThursdaySkyGoddess

Well, there was that time he ate at a Thai restaurant (probably), so…

Smithchez

“Mmmm, Eli Rodgers.”

–Eli Manning, staring into space and doodling into his idea journal about his dream wedding.

Smithchez

Oh thank god, a run up the middle.

Dunstan

Well, there’s always the Falcons?

Man, I picked the wrong month to stop shooting heroin.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Go….falcons….?
That just feels wrong.

Spur

The Steelers can’t get to Brady.

Smithchez

Yup, that’s the defense of a professional football team that made it to the conference championship.

The Maestro

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Sharkbait

Seconded.

Gratliff

Jesus christ, Stillers

King Hippo

well, that’s it for FOOTBAW season, fuck everything

litre_cola

Hi friends, back from the Packer Falcon party, how the fuck we all doin?

/wine/weed if you are wondering.

Horatio Cornblower

“That’s what they do in Pittsburgh; don’t give up the big play.”

Just dozens and dozens of little ones.

King Hippo

I’m following that plan, but for the decade. Enjoy the (temporary) ride!!
