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!

Why is Brady still in this game?

Romonobyl

Gisele is pretty high-maintenance so…
Oh, THIS game.

Is this a Diet Dr. Pepper commercial or a trailer for Brokeback Mountain 2?

WCS

Why can’t it be both?

Horatio Cornblower

I can’t see a flaw in that argument.

WCS

Okay, so, just get the two-point conversion, the onside kick, another touchdown, two-point conversion, onside kick, touchdown, and two-pointer and this game is tied!

They barely got past Kansas City. What does that tell you?

Horatio Cornblower

That all my hopes and dreams for this game were a lie I told myself to get through the week?

I need to somehow spoof a Canadian IP address so that sites like Facebook will give me news about Trudeau instead of news about Trump.

Redshirt

Give it a few months. After Trump loses the ensuing war with Mexico, your state will probably be lost to Canada.

Redshirt

So because he committed a penalty, instead of an incomplete pass and 4th down, its loss of down, 4th down but no yards lost?

The Maestro

Lol lol lol lol lol illegal touching lol lol lol lol lol

Romonobyl

This was time well wasted. Surrendered the remote to teh Mrs. She’s watching a recording of the Librarians, not that I mind too much:

I just had a thought, in 20 years, to stay hip, the NFL may change the name of the Lamar Hunt Trophy to the Bill Belichick Trophy because of all the times he won it.

Romonobyl

Or the Lamar Odem Trophy, for his sacrifice in the name of advanced STD research.

...

At least the Patriots-Trump relationship makes it really, really easy whom to pick in the Super Bowl.

How many hot takes will there be about Tomlin calling these assholes, assholes?

Depends on Antonio Brown’s phone’s battery life.

After thinking long and hard, I’ve decided to root for the Patriots because if Brady loses the Super Bowl, that will be three Super Bowl losses, so while he will be compared to Montana, Elway and Aikman for his SB wins, he will also be compared to Elway, Kelly and Tarkenton for his SB losses.

WCS

The Stillers haven’t stopped a third-down since the six-minute mark of the first quarter.

217 people, including at least three journalists caught up in the crowd, face 10 years in prison for felony rioting. That’s. . . a lot
