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.
Noap! Warp 9, make it so laforge! Me like.
TD pass in 10..9…
Catching them sleeping…
Rodgers always comes up from behind.
I’m sure the 2nd GIF is the tiger eating his guts.
Fucking rich Arabs…
Worst people on the planet…
Trump is a lost member of the House of Saud.
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.
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”
I don’t need to meditate on it, I KNOWS it.
Oh, great. It was a dream. A beautiful, beautiful dream.
The Mick got renewed?
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.
Me too. It doesn’t feel like Star Trek. I’ll give it a chance though.
think of my quandary – I graduated in engineering…and didn’t like any of the OLD varietals
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 .
Right there with you. The monster of the week episodes were the best.
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.
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!
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
The episode was straight up tripping. It would have made Rod Serling proud.
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
But we never left the Shoney’s!
Seattle game isn’t on TV. Has Sherman attacked a ref yet?
Good job Cincy
Overall, surprised about Cincinnati. However, we’ll see if they can keep it up in the 2nd Half.
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?!?!
Bengals are being competent. It is throwing the Packers off balance.
I hope they can hear me moaning in wisconsin
Yeah. Stop that! Is unseemly and oddly stimulating.
Fair catch free kick?
I’m listening to the radio. How is Tony Romo as a color commentator?
I don’t notice him in a good or bad way.
Wait…so you mean he is actually what you want in a fucking announcer?!?!
aside from Gus Johnson or old school Don Criqui, sure!
Fairly tolerable. Wants to impress a little too much, but after a couple of dates I’m sure he’ll settle.
When Romo says your throw was dicey…ouch.
Well, it’s September Romo.
If December Romo’s calling your throw dicey….
wait, wha happen to Los Titanicos’ TD? Did I hallucinate that? Pretty pilled up for my head owie
A sketchy block in the back call.
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.
But in terms of generating publicity… it’s kinda working?
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.
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.
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.
Methinks it had mostly run its course…until, you know
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.
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…
But every time someone says “Thank you for your service” you get a voucher redeemable for $5 right?
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.
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.
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.
Sorry about your loss.
Can you believe the bumper music for Seattle was grunge?
Impossible!
Didn’t realize how big the Seattle bandwagon was still.
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.
I’ve been wondering about the man. Hope he is ok.
He hasn’t been on twitter, or said anything on Slack. Due to the no power I assume.
I assume he’s a swimming FOAR the mainland
am getting a drink
All work is done, i still need to look at some resumes but that can wait. .
Has Rodgers been all bitchy yet?
So Antonio Brown’s TD celebration was based off a emote in Destiny 2. Cause he’s sponsored by them….The more you know.
Sherman should still be ejected if the penalties are offsetting, right? The unsportsmanlike conduct didn’t NOT happen.
You think NFL refs follow common sense?
This makes sense but I’m sure the NFL could overlook that.
Well, ever since someone called him a “thug”, it seems like everyone’s falling over themselves to excuse his shitty assholish behavior.
A late hit isn’t an unsportsmanlike penalty and isn’t part of the get 2 and get tossed.
And of course announcers are praising Mariota for being “tough” and getting back in the game. Concussions are for pussies!
GODDAMNIT. Cheese…had to be cheese. Ffs.
‘Mr President, your bath is ready.”
Huh, so i guess Rams are going to win the west this year….
I believe Hippo called that.
chuh chuh. Balls mocked me mightily! 😀
So what’s shermy up to?
Late hits, yelling at refs, unsportsmanlike conduct, you know, the usual
I DONT KNOW WHAT DUMPSTER FIRE TO WATCH
Guys…capers doesn’t need your help. He’s plenty incompetent on his own.
SEA is a muthaflippin’ dumpster fire
Discount doubleception!
Pack-Pick-6!
Sherman gettin tossed?
Tuned in just in time to see this.
He ought to be. That’s suspension-worthy
Just saw it. He’s going on vacation for a week or two.
Late, and helmet-to-helmet contact
I believed that is called “docking” – A. Rodgers.
Look at you, Striped Pylons!!
Oh, next week’s game are going be fun.

I’m tired of this dude, he’s gotta go.
Cincinnati has scored two touchdowns today. An ∞% improvement!
While the Giants continue to try dividing by zero.
“She broke your throne and she cut your hair, And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah”
Oh the Bengals winning in bratwurst country is fantastic.
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.
They should’ve know better. Unless you’re stopped in hte middle of the road you’re not the uber driver.
We’ve equipped Andy Dalton with prescription eyeglasses. Lets see if anyone notices…
Oxy pug needs his fix.
Gateway kibble?
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.
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

Tom Cruise stars in: Guy Who Kills People But Has a Sense of Humor About It.
Die Hard as a comedy?
Who put this futball game on the late afternoon slot on FOX?
Alright, i’m gonna go watch some Jojo Bizarre Adventure before the 8:30 game. I’ll see you all next Sunday.
You know we are here all day.
I know, but i’m going to my brother-in law’s hockey game later. So i won’t have time there.
That’s fair, I am going to my stepbrothers but they are on the clock.
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.
Like I said in my LOLphons preview : They’d split against NYJ and Buffalo because they always do
Is Trump president? If not, can you please give coordinates of the Bizarro portal?
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.
He is the 2k17 Rosa Parks of our time
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.
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?!?!?
Never thought I’d say this, but…where’s that orange Prez when you need him?
I put mustard, green peppers, and sometimes bacon. THAT’s ALL
Green peppers? GREEN PEPPERS!!!!!!! You’re dead to me man… D-E-D dead!!!
I can eat green peppers on anything.
