Your “It Seems Like The Super Bowl Was Just Yesterday” Thursday Night Football Season Opener Open Thread.

I guess you’re wondering why I called this meeting. I’ll tell you why but first I think we need to give a round of applause to all the dickbags that provided summer (ie., ‘unfootball’) time content on this here football-centric blog. Y’all did yeoman’s work to keep us engaged and coming back again and again. Nicely done. And now to the matter at hand. You’re here because you love football. Or maybe you hate football in that weird way that you hate your ex. Or maybe you love to hate football. Or maybe you hate that you love football. No matter-it’s back and your jaundiced eyeballs are begging to see that sweet, sweet large man on large man action. Perhaps for just a little while we can forget about those players (too many) and their penchant for domestic abuse or the brain-addling inconsistencies of the punishments meted out against them. (Okay, Zeke gets to play the first game and then his suspension kicks in? Got it.) The garbage surrounding the game is hard to take but the game itself? I do like it and commenting with you fellow woebegone souls makes it that much better. So let’s dig in and enjoy the shit out of this. TO THE GAME!

Chiefs/Pats: Good old Alex Smith. For a guy that is only behind Russell Wilson and Tom Brady in games won over the last four years he sure gets a lot of grief for being the game manager that he is. Most of the rookie qb hype that I came across in the pre-season was centered around Mitch “Truth Biscuit” Trubisky but out Kansas City way the folks are drooling over a certain Patrick Mahomes and his big-ass arm. Apparently the Chiefs cut CJ Spiller about five hours before game time so that his contract isn’t guaranteed for the entire year. I hope I’m wrong because that seems remarkably petty. The guy is on the books for 615k, for Goodell’s sake! That leaves KC with only two rb’s for the game and the starter, rook Kareem Hunt, will be joining the illustrious company of Duce Staley, Brian Westbrook, LeSean McCoy and Jamaal Charles as players that Andy Reid has run into the ground. Freaking Brady is forty and it looks as though his arm strength is still there and he’s got a full complement of toys to play with. Recent acquisition Brandin Cooks is going to stretch the field (don’t sleep on Phil Dorsett and his 4.33 speed though) so that Gronk can work the middle of the field. The guy I’m looking to have a career year is Chris Hogan-it takes a year to wash all the Buffalo Bills stink off so I think he’s ready to make some noise. Perhaps your thinking Amendola is going to be the guy? Jokes on you-simply by mentioning his name out loud you caused him to strain a hamstring.

Well, the meeting is adjourned. Go out there and do your worst/best. If there are any new commenters out there this is probably the second best place to introduce yourselves aside from the new guys post that Seamus put up a few days ago. Have at it and I’ll see you down below.

THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, AL? He was as close to the center of the tackle box as possible!

make it snow

I think I finally understand why Andy Reid drafted Tyreek Hill. Reid can’t manage the clock, and Hill doesn’t do time.

Doktor Zymm

Tyreek runs fast. According to special relativity, that slows down time. No need for time outs!

Beastmode Ate My Baby

SCIENCE!

Doktor Zymm

Gronk didn’t overpower….he just fell on Berry

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Maybe they slowed down because their QB is fucking 40, Cris…

litre_cola

Tyreek, Litres bench in my money league. I love this game.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Alex Smith turned into Rex Grossman so slowly we never even noticed.

ballsofsteelandfury

Loved how Brady tried to answer and couldn’t hit the pass.

Methinks he’s getting old. This may be a good season yet!

Duchess

until he takes more “multi vitamins” from theTB12 Center by his shady bff non-doctor doctor.

Smithchez

“It” actually getting good reviews as a remake and a Stephen King adaptation makes me irrationally happy. Here’s hoping they don’t stay too close to the source material, what with the gangbang

WCS

I know I’m not speaking for Buddy, but, I could do without Hockstetter jerking off Bowers, too.

I should just go to bed now, this is probably the best part of the game

...

“Alex Smith threw a 75 yard touchdown” is a sentence that reflects reality.

Smithchez

Usually, that statement includes a “(74 YAC)” qualifier

Sharkbait

This really is the darkest timeline

King Hippo

/retroactively glad I waited to late too bench that guy

Duchess

I’m pretty sure I was in middle school during the Menendez trial and even then I thought “people get shot all the time why is this different?”

NATO Pats Fan

OOoops? Nice play, KC

make it snow

make it snow: tyreek hill just beat that pats defense like it was
lady snow: stop

King Hippo

He’s kinda small to be so beat-y. Anybody else think that? OK, anybody else gonna admit it??

Smithchez

EEEEEHHHHLLLLLL OOOOOOOOHHHHHHH EEEEEEEHHHHLLLLL

King Hippo

TYREEKDOWN WOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Maestro

Dick E. Phuck

FOR YARA!!

Sharkbait

Well that isn’t good

Senor Weaselo

NOW we check if Alex Smith is concussed.
/Wooo Hilldown!

...

What. The. Fuck.

Alex Smith going… deep?

King Hippo

Listening to Most Glorious el beisbol Cardinals on KMOX whilst I watch this shitshow on mute, and there was a radio ad throwing shade at RAMIT!!!

...

My friends, I recently rewatched the Simpsons episode that features my namesake avatar and you should have seen how excited I got when it was projected across my TV screen.

King Hippo

Guess who’s drankin’ on top o’ his pills now? DIS HIPPO!!

make it snow

my dude

King Hippo

Our year of Waiting FOAR Chad Kelly begins!

Smithchez

Sorry awkward gritty white special teams player, you don’t play for the Patriots, and as such that kind of after-the-whistle-hustle is not tolerated.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Scott Eastwood: Because Clint’s too damn old, rich and crazy to make a BMW ad.

Duchess

once again that wasnt the 40 yr old QB’s fault

NATO Pats Fan

Collinsworth is dying to talk about Belichick’s left footed punters, like it’s a magic thing.

Sharkbait

Left footed punters are black magic fuckery apparently

make it snow

I thought Marquette King was the black magic punter.

The Maestro

DAS RAYCESS

King Hippo

You mean the athletic punter smh

Duchess

isnt that a euphemism for what Aaron Rodgers gets at the “bookstore”?

Smithchez

HOW THE FUCK IS IT POSSIBLE THAT WHENEVER NEW ENGLAND FUMBLES IT ALWAYS MANAGES TO GO FORWARD AND THEY ALWAYS MANAGE TO RECOVER IT?! WHAT FUCKING JUST GOD WOULD ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN??!!!

….I’m not mad. Not at all. No, you shut up.

Senor Weaselo

It’s not a fucking just god, or else Irma would just hit Mar-a-Lago and everything around it would still be fine.

...

I’m hoping some sort of super tanker is blown into it.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Christ, no. They’ll just end up making a Marky Mark movie about it.

Smithchez

WE GAWTA SAVE THIS FACKIN GOLDEN CRAPPAH!!!

Smithchez

That’s a fair point.

Dick E. Phuck

I’m Jewish, so God (or should I say G-d) is more of a net negative in my experience.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Do you think Brady learned to fake it so well from his wife?

WHO STOLE THE COOKIE FROM THE COOKIE JAR?

WCS

I do approve of Eric Clapton.

Sharkbait

Solo or Cream?

Doktor Zymm

I started packing today, though that mostly consisted of working on a jigsaw puzzle, deciding I didn’t have time to finish the jigsaw puzzle, putting the jigsaw puzzle back in the box while keeping some major sections intact, and taking out the stuff I need to start packing my China sets

theeWeeBabySeamus

That is one slick KHunt.

Who knew I’d use that one again so soon?
Also, phrasing.

The Maestro

Actually, she’s been rocking a bush as of late, I’m pretty sure.

Dick E. Phuck

So it’s a rather coarse KHunt.

Senor Weaselo

Who gave Peyton music producer cred? That person should be shot. Then beaten.

Smithchez

Can we all just cool it on the “KHUNT” comments, guys? They’re basic, and boring, and juvenile………

Nah, just kidding. Let’s hope he’s great just to guarantee us 8-10 years of Khunt jokes.

….hehehe….Khunt

Beastmode Ate My Baby

That is one slick KHunt.

I overpaid for Hunt’s at costco.

Hurricane Irma is what we called my grandmother whenever she would go on about “the darks and Mexicans”.

Dick E. Phuck

Marvel at the bland efficiency of Alex Smith. Registering a 9.0 on the Bradford Scale.

Doktor Zymm

Legit question : Why did Yahoo have Gilislee with 0 projected points?

ballsofsteelandfury

Yahoo sucks?

Doktor Zymm

Seems legit

He was probably listed as doubtful and 10th on the rb depth chart. Also wasn’t he cut a week ago?

Dick E. Phuck

Matt Lauer looks at a blank piece of paper inquisitively as Hurricane Irma approaches south Florida.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

And that piece of paper is…his résumé.

Doktor Zymm

There’s an email going around about how all the current hurricanes are the work of Kim-Jung-Il cause the Chinese can control the weather. I mean…don’t they know that it’s Kim Jung Un now?

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Or that he’s not, y’know, Chinese?

Doktor Zymm

If I could control the weather, I would use it to manipulate sporting events and I would also charge people lots of money so they could have nice weather for their weddings.

Horatio Cornblower

I’d destroy the Chargers new stadium. As often as they built a new one.

Senor Weaselo

Are you not moved by weekly peanut-butter sandwiches?

Senor Weaselo

Dammit, that missed the punchline. “Pudge controls the weather.”

herodotus450

Fresh Meat

Senor Weaselo

It’s the spirit of Kim Jung-Il that’s doing it, didn’t you read the email?

WCS

Kind of shocked it’s not Antifa or Obama’s doing.

Duchess

Nazi George Soros?

...

My favorite reactions to antifa is that it’s Hillary Clinton’s personal army of chaos.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

If Asians controlled the weather all the hurricanes would come an hour after the other.

Scene 1: “Hey remember when that guy Bonald Drumpf was running for president and said a bunch of shit to get attention but we knew it was all lies, didn’t give him any media coverage, and he went back to being a private asshole instaed of ruining the country? That was a funny week.”

Donald: “I will deport all the minorities….(gauges public perception)…eventually”

Racists: “Why aren’t you deporting them right fucking now?!”

Reasonable People: “Wait, why are you deporting them at all? What the hell did they do wrong?”

Donald: Uh..uh..uh…(scrambles like Mark Sanchez against a blitz and runs straight into Mitch McConell’s ass).

herodotus450

“Deportations for all!”
“Boo!”

Shogun Marcus

Alright…deportations for most, tiny flags foar everyone!

NATO Pats Fan

Are you gonna eat that? Said Tony Dungy, never.

Dick E. Phuck

I don’t know why I keep confusing Andy Reid with Riley Reid? Is something wrong here?

Doktor Zymm

As many concussions as Jordan Reed?

...

Perhaps you’re just imagining four Riley Reids, which are equivalent in mass to a single Andy Reid.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Eh, I’ve rubbed one off to them both. Not my proudest wank.

...

Same.

herodotus450

If you use bbq sauce while standing in shallow water i think they call that the Reid Reed Reed Relief

herodotus450

And if Riley is playing the double bassoon…

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Dear NBC,

It’s entirely possible the Menendez brothers were just entitled little psychos, and don’t deserve a whole series about their homicidal tendencies. Just a thought.

Smithchez

I’d bet that was more of the marketing department’s job.

“This is a good story and all but, how the fuck are we supposed to promote a show about two greedy psychopathic rich kids who murdered their parents?”

“I don’t know, make it seem like they…weren’t that?”

(sigh) “Fine”

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

“They’re Hispanic, it’s all good.”
