Your “Don’t Want To Say Good Night” Saturday Evening Open Thread

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHb60K2RLx0

 

Well, there’s a couple of “games” tonight, featuring “starters” that will “play” almost an entire quarter. Except for the guys who are hurt or facing suspension, which eats up most blog coverage.

Game preview: Colts at Cowboys

Peeling back the layers of congealed gravy over at Stampede Blue, you find a fan base worried about their franchise QB and an owner who cares more about freebase than fanbase. The lead story is about how Stephen Morris is a better choice for starter in Luck’s absence than Scott Tolzien, based on only last week plus last year’s preseason. The beautiful part of this logic is that the analysis comes from watching Tolzien take on first-string starters versus Morris who’s only ever seen second- & third-string reps in preseason. To keep things depressed, they’re keeping a separate Andrew Luck injury beat.

As for the Cowboys, Blogging The Boys fortunately isn’t “All Zeke, Fuck Roger” all the time. They have a story about Ryan “Yes, They’re Related” Switzer and how – well, I’m going to let this finely-worded sentence say it for me:

Switzer will theoretically be what Lucky Whitehead was for the Cowboys, plus a lot more (you know like of actual use).

Hard-hitting analysis from a website with lips firmly implanted on Jones anatomy.

So, aside from a story outlining possible issues the Cowboys could face this season – oh look, there’s the Elliott coverage (no slut shaming) – it’s all “Dez looks great!”, “Dak looks great”, and “Look – Jerry bought a new hat!”

But there’s only one Beer Baron.

Translation: We’re going to get a lot of looks at the Cowboys backup QBs, as they try to nail down who gets to hold the clipboard during 2017. The Colts will be trying to figure out whom to sacrifice to an angry god in order to get HODOR back under center.

Game preview: Broncos at Cardinals

Mile High Report is VERY concerned about the Broncos starting QB situation:

So be warned before watching this game – there’s going to be lots of talk about Siemian & Lynch that if you don’t hear it correctly will make it sound like your TV has switched to a gay snuff film.

On the 49ers side, Niners Nation doesn’t have anything to say because it doesn’t know what people want to hear. There’s two stories on the number of scrimmage fights there’s been in their joint practices with the Broncos, a rationale about how many snaps the starters will get on Saturday night (20), an injury breakdown, and a story about how bad Blake Bortles is. The sidebar is full of stories about how bad other teams are, plus a shot at Jim Harbaugh three years too late.

So, they are clearly expecting big things from the game. The future may look bright, but only because they don’t want to talk about how sad the present actually is.

I figure the Broncos QB contest plays havoc with the 49ers ever-depleting secondary.

Btw at the beer festival they sold tasting glass lanyards for $1 each, and only one of the people I was with laughed/got it when I said “I’D BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR”

Unsurprised

That’s a good joke. I wouldn’t have thought to come up with that.

This cat wants to remind you that Jay was born in Santa Claus, Indiana.

Thank you, kitty.

This is funnier if you know he attended U*NC, and they are locally known as cheating goats.

theeWeeBabySeamus

And I use the term “attended” very loosely.

Unsurprised

It never occurred to me that football players would get the same level of special treatment given to the basketball team.

theeWeeBabySeamus

They tried to sacrifice football (and every other sport) to keep the NCAA out of the bball program. And it mostly worked.

Cheating fuckers.

Unsurprised

Ah

I’m drawing a blank trying to make a joke about slow-moving cats that isn’t also about Cutler. https://streamable.com/g7km2

This is actually some pretty impressive teamwork by Cards players after intercepting Glennon.

The URL is kind of funny given it features Glennon

Is this animal abuse?

The mrs and I just got back from A Ghost Story. Not quite sure what the hell I just saw but it was great. I recommend.

Detroit scoring touchdowns is such an rarity that this couldn’t be more odd if it were real lions pretending to jump double-dutch.
