Your “We’re Barely Halfway There, Don’t Wuss Out, Keep On Drankin'” Late Afternoon Games Thread

Things got started early today in London.  The Ratbirds missed their wake up call, however.  Yeeeeesh.

But we’re at the day’s halfway point finally.  What’s on tap this late afternoon?

 

Seattle at Tennessee (4:05pmEDT, FOX)

I like the Titans and Mariota in this one.  Take Tennessee and give the 2 points.  Plus, as usual, Pete Carroll is on drugs….

“I think we’ll continue to grow,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said after last week’s victory over the 49ers. “We’re going to get better. I think we can see us making the improvement that’s going to be important for us.”

SMGDH

 

Cincinnati at Green Bay (4:25pmEDT, CBS)

The Bungles can’t score.  The Cheesedicks can’t stop anybody from scoring.  It’s the classic “Resistible Force meets the Movable Object” scenario.  That being said, the Packers probably have the better chance at the bounce back win.  Duh.  Take the Packers, give the 6.5.  Also, Marvin Lewis is doing his best Pete Carroll impression soooo….

“We have to have a direction of execution and things have to fit together and we’ve got to provide opportunity to attack the defense,” Lewis said. “We’ve got to do a great job attacking what is our perceived weakness of the defense and get the ball to our guys who can make plays.”

“Perceived” weaknesses.  LOL.

 

Kansas City at Nawt San Diego (4:25pmEDT, CBS)

First, Andy Reid has apparently accumulated too much cholesterol in his cerebral arteries….

“I’m from there so I’m an L.A. guy,” Reid said. “I’m glad pro football is back. It’s a big city and it can handle two teams.”

…but I get it.  Coachspeak.  AKA…bullshit.  If either team is still there in 10 years, I’ll shoot myself.  If both teams are still there, I’ll shoot you.

KC is the no brainer in this one, -3.  But honestly, I wouldn’t bet this game.  Alex Smith has overachieved and is due to fall.  Philip Rivers hasn’t exactly underachieved necessarily, but he has had a difficult time getting the motor running consistently, mostly due to lack of complimentary parts.  I think that changes today, even if it does occur only temporarily and in the wrong town.  Bolts get their first LA win by a FG late.

Also, CBSSports.com still has this game listed as being played in Qualcomm Stadium.  Way to go, CBS.  I mean it’s not like the Bolts moving from San Diego to LA was a big story or anything.  I understand how you might have missed it.  You’re doing fine.

 

OK folks.  Go, watch, drink, comment.

Make me proud.

But pace yourselves…we’ve still got the late late SNF game yet to go…

You could have easily tossed that to Davante. RACIST

I don’t know why, but I found that comment really, really fucking funny.

Shogun Marcus

Noap! Warp 9, make it so laforge! Me like.

Catching them sleeping…

Rodgers always comes up from behind.

I’m sure the 2nd GIF is the tiger eating his guts.

JustStopDude

Fucking rich Arabs…

Worst people on the planet…

...

Trump is a lost member of the House of Saud.

JustStopDude

It is hard to describe to people how shitty it is to work in a Gulf Coast Country.

I cannot wait for them to run out of oil and natural gas because they are going to turn into Syria so insanely fast and by then….no one will give a shit.

...

But I’m sure the U.S. will sell them plenty of weapons in the meantime.

JustStopDude

Fucking let them.

You can give a military all the weapons in the world, but if their rank and file are mercenaries and rich little shits, their force projection is a joke.

Hence why Saudi Arabia went into Yemen expecting an easy victory and its about 5 times worst then the US getting stuck in Vietnam.

Chapter 5,350 of “Meditations on the Douchiness of Lewis Hamilton”

Shogun Marcus

I don’t need to meditate on it, I KNOWS it.

Redshirt

Oh, great. It was a dream. A beautiful, beautiful dream.

Spur

The Mick got renewed?

King Hippo

they just wanted to fuck up my “Sweet Dee Gets Cancelled” joke

...

I’m going to hate the new Star Trek, I can feel it now.

Redshirt

Me too. It doesn’t feel like Star Trek. I’ll give it a chance though.

King Hippo

think of my quandary – I graduated in engineering…and didn’t like any of the OLD varietals

JustStopDude

I honestly never liked even Star Trek the Next Generation.

I have no idea what it is…I just preferred the original. I think its the same way I didn’t like later episodes of the X-Files. I liked the stand alone weird episodes where I really started hating the long ass, multi-episode story arches.

Oh and Wesley was fucking cancer personified .

Spur

Right there with you. The monster of the week episodes were the best.

Redshirt

Picard chewing him out in “The First Duty” was a former apology for Welsey.

...

On the whole, X-Files didn’t age well and it showed most with that mini-revival.

JustStopDude

Hot Teak!

Millennium…I know I am dating myself…that show was fucking AWESOME!

The first episode is like an hour long Nine Inch Nails music video. It was creepy and dark as fuck!

Brocky

I just had flashbacks to it, I was a young scifi fan, and that show was awesome. My favorite one was the 4 demons hanging out in the coffee shop

JustStopDude

The episode was straight up tripping. It would have made Rod Serling proud.

Shogun Marcus

Checks his FF.
…closes tab after 5 seconds. Noap.

...

Good afternoon, gentlemen.

……… I know this is a real thing, but i have to go there

Senor Weaselo

But we never left the Shoney’s!

Seattle game isn’t on TV. Has Sherman attacked a ref yet?

Spur

Good job Cincy

Redshirt

Overall, surprised about Cincinnati. However, we’ll see if they can keep it up in the 2nd Half.

JustStopDude

took out a lady friend to dinner. After watching that cluster fuck of a Ravens game and then the Browns just shitting all over themselves…I figured…fuck it no more need to watch football because it can’t get weirder…

So…what the fuck is going on in Wisconsin?!?!

Redshirt

Bengals are being competent. It is throwing the Packers off balance.

Mother Puncher

I hope they can hear me moaning in wisconsin

Shogun Marcus

Yeah. Stop that! Is unseemly and oddly stimulating.

King Hippo

Fair catch free kick?

Redshirt

I’m listening to the radio. How is Tony Romo as a color commentator?

King Hippo

I don’t notice him in a good or bad way.

JustStopDude

Wait…so you mean he is actually what you want in a fucking announcer?!?!

King Hippo

aside from Gus Johnson or old school Don Criqui, sure!

Shogun Marcus

Fairly tolerable. Wants to impress a little too much, but after a couple of dates I’m sure he’ll settle.

Shogun Marcus

When Romo says your throw was dicey…ouch.

hippofant

Well, it’s September Romo.

If December Romo’s calling your throw dicey….

King Hippo

wait, wha happen to Los Titanicos’ TD? Did I hallucinate that? Pretty pilled up for my head owie

hippofant

A sketchy block in the back call.

the Alpha and the Amoeba

Personally, I think that kneeling for the anthem is the equivalent of changing your Facebook profile picture to express your support for a cause.

Viewed in that light, the whole debacle surrounding them is pretty fucking stupid.

herodotus450

But in terms of generating publicity… it’s kinda working?

the Alpha and the Amoeba

It depends on whether you think that generating publicity changes things or whether it means fuck all without a clear message behind the publicity.

...

Considering that major shifts in social policy happen when the social cost of being against them becomes too high (i.e. gay marriage), I’d say generating publicity for the sake of drawing support does matter.

And I would say that before Trump spouted off, kneeling during the anthem had a very specific meaning that was picked up on by everyone who supported or opposed it.

King Hippo

the messaging getting much more clarified today as well. Seminal moment when ownership and management finally said “hey, these are serious, grown ass men with something real to say.” Good on them.

Shogun Marcus

When you sat at the front of the bus, what statement were you thinking of?
That I was tired and wanted to sit. I didn’t know all this was coming.
It all comes from somewhere.

King Hippo

Methinks it had mostly run its course…until, you know

Big Black Richard

While I don’t disagree, I think a show of nationalism before every sporting match is also pretty stupid.

...

It’s especially bizarre considering how the average American points at displays of nationalism in, say, North Korea, as over-the-top and a sure sign of a country that isn’t free.

JustStopDude

I say this as someone that did six years in the military and once had a 19 year old kid until he bled out in my arms (hydraulic leak in the propulsion plant hit him in the chest)…

If you need your patriotism to be validated by random people, that is your hang up…

herodotus450

But every time someone says “Thank you for your service” you get a voucher redeemable for $5 right?

JustStopDude

I fucking hate it when people do that.

I served with a fucking pedophile and it pisses me off to think that clown gets blanket thanked for doing 5 years in Leavenworth and has to register as a sex offender.

Redshirt

If he lives the rest of his life and comments no crimes, I have no problems with him.

If he even dares to even think of it again, he should have his guy privileges revoked. Physically. With a dull spoon.

JustStopDude

The fucker got me the easiest two weeks of brig time ever.

I was suppose to babysit him for the weekend on the boat until Monday to deliver him to the Portsmouth brig. He mouthed off to one of the boys like “if there is grass on the field, play”

We were talking about a 14 year old run away.

I told the boys he needed to walk and I was going for a smoke. That was stupid of me.

It was about 10 days before he was released from the hospital to start his pre-court martial incarceration.

Redshirt

Sorry about your loss.

litre_cola

Can you believe the bumper music for Seattle was grunge?

Senor Weaselo

Impossible!

Spur

Didn’t realize how big the Seattle bandwagon was still.

litre_cola

So everyone is concerned with kneeling for the anthem. No one is concerned about Puerto Rico and Don T? You know he would have a titanrection during this game if he had power.

Big Black Richard

I’ve been wondering about the man. Hope he is ok.

litre_cola

He hasn’t been on twitter, or said anything on Slack. Due to the no power I assume.

King Hippo

I assume he’s a swimming FOAR the mainland

Spur

am getting a drink

Spur

All work is done, i still need to look at some resumes but that can wait. .

Has Rodgers been all bitchy yet?

IronAvenger6491

So Antonio Brown’s TD celebration was based off a emote in Destiny 2. Cause he’s sponsored by them….The more you know.

hippofant

Sherman should still be ejected if the penalties are offsetting, right? The unsportsmanlike conduct didn’t NOT happen.

Redshirt

You think NFL refs follow common sense?

...

This makes sense but I’m sure the NFL could overlook that.

the Alpha and the Amoeba

Well, ever since someone called him a “thug”, it seems like everyone’s falling over themselves to excuse his shitty assholish behavior.

Clipboard Jesus

A late hit isn’t an unsportsmanlike penalty and isn’t part of the get 2 and get tossed.

Dunstan

And of course announcers are praising Mariota for being “tough” and getting back in the game. Concussions are for pussies!

Shogun Marcus

GODDAMNIT. Cheese…had to be cheese. Ffs.

Romonobyl

‘Mr President, your bath is ready.”

IronAvenger6491

Huh, so i guess Rams are going to win the west this year….

litre_cola

I believe Hippo called that.

King Hippo

chuh chuh. Balls mocked me mightily! 😀

Shogun Marcus

So what’s shermy up to?

litre_cola

Late hits, yelling at refs, unsportsmanlike conduct, you know, the usual

litre_cola

I DONT KNOW WHAT DUMPSTER FIRE TO WATCH

Shogun Marcus

Guys…capers doesn’t need your help. He’s plenty incompetent on his own.

King Hippo

SEA is a muthaflippin’ dumpster fire

Dunstan

Discount doubleception!

Redshirt

Pack-Pick-6!

litre_cola

Sherman gettin tossed?

...

Tuned in just in time to see this.

Dunstan

He ought to be. That’s suspension-worthy

Redshirt

Just saw it. He’s going on vacation for a week or two.

Dunstan

Late, and helmet-to-helmet contact

litre_cola

I believed that is called “docking” – A. Rodgers.

King Hippo

Look at you, Striped Pylons!!

Cincinnati has scored two touchdowns today. An ∞% improvement!

Oh the Bengals winning in bratwurst country is fantastic.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Two old people standing outside my building thought I was their Uber driver and started walking toward me in the pouring rain. I’m a bad person because I laughed uncontrollably as I passed by them.

herodotus450

They should’ve know better. Unless you’re stopped in hte middle of the road you’re not the uber driver.

Redshirt

We’ve equipped Andy Dalton with prescription eyeglasses. Lets see if anyone notices…

Oxy pug needs his fix.

Romonobyl

Gateway kibble?

litre_cola

He has a weak trachea so I have to mix opiates into his food. Then he just stares at you all glassy eyed, like he can see your soul.

lol That’ll show ’em.

King Hippo

would LOVE to have ppl like this in my $$ league

/actually still not worth having to listen to them on auction day

A Real True American would drop Antonio Brown without considering a trade, imho.

If only there were a real American out there with an innate desire to drop Brown men

Who put this futball game on the late afternoon slot on FOX?

IronAvenger6491

Alright, i’m gonna go watch some Jojo Bizarre Adventure before the 8:30 game. I’ll see you all next Sunday.

litre_cola

You know we are here all day.

IronAvenger6491

I know, but i’m going to my brother-in law’s hockey game later. So i won’t have time there.

litre_cola

That’s fair, I am going to my stepbrothers but they are on the clock.

Duchess

What the Hell? Old is I enter a portal into Bizarro world? Where the Bears and Jets win. I’m not even a third through my trip to drive to Denver and the world I left no longer exists.

...

I don’t know what to make of this Bears team. My brain says their game against the Bucs is who they are, but they could be 2-1 right now.

Wakezilla

Like I said in my LOLphons preview : They’d split against NYJ and Buffalo because they always do

Redshirt

Is Trump president? If not, can you please give coordinates of the Bizarro portal?

Redshirt

So now that its official that GOP doesn’t have the votes for Obamacare Repeal Attempt #4702, beloved weasel with a well toned right forearm Ted Cruz has bravely said he’s not for it.

...

Amazing.

Wakezilla

He is the 2k17 Rosa Parks of our time

Unsurprised

Maybe that will finally get the media off John McCain’s di— HAHAHAHAHA. Yeah, right. The press will never stop blowing that piece of shit.

Romonobyl

Wife brought home a burger for me from a benefit lunch she attended. Not bad, it had everything except mustard. What kind of ISIS-loving puppy-stabbing Patriot’s fan monster doesn’t put mustard on a hamburger?!?!?

Petronel

Never thought I’d say this, but…where’s that orange Prez when you need him?

King Hippo

I put mustard, green peppers, and sometimes bacon. THAT’s ALL

Romonobyl

Green peppers? GREEN PEPPERS!!!!!!! You’re dead to me man… D-E-D dead!!!

litre_cola

I can eat green peppers on anything.
