Your “Stylin’ & Profilin'” Monday Night Football & Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

  • The pressure must have gotten to John Fox – it’s Truth Biscuit time in Chicago!
    • His first game will be next Monday night versus the Vikings.
  • With the Falcons bye week approaching, it appears Julio Jones – owner & wearer of the high flyin’ cleats in the banner photo – will not miss any time due to injury.
    • He hurt a hip flexor in the loss to Buffalo.
  • Based on stats through the first four games, Tom Brady is on track to be sacked 52 times this year.
    • To date, he’s been dropped 13 times. He was sacked for loss 15 times in all of the 2016 regular season.
  • The Seahawks got beat-the-hell-up last night in their victory over the Colts:
    • Left tackle Rees Odhiambo: Bruised heart.
      • HOW THE FUCK DID HE FINISH THE GAME?!
    • RB Chris Carson: Broken leg, below the knee
      • Done for the season
    • DE Cliff Avril: Pinched nerve; day-to-day
      • He lost feeling in his fingertips after an accidental kick to the head.
    • CB Jeremy Lane: Strained groin.
      • Day-to-day
  • As expected, Eagles fans took over the StubHub Center and turned an away game into home-field advantage. This Deadspin link has full audio of the debacle Eagles OT Jason Peters said “was like a home game”.

Finally, unrelated to football, it’s been a bad day for music fans. The 58 people killed at the Jason Aldean show in Las Vegas by a domestic terrorist, and news that Tom Petty is on life-support dead, have made for a very sad Monday.

I saw Tom Petty live once. It was the “True Confessions” tour with Bob Dylan in 1986.

    

It was pretty good. Each played 45 minutes on their own, and then combined for the final 30 minutes of the show. I owned that shirt for years; it eventually wore out.


Game Preview: Chiefs at [*Redacted] s

Tonight, two of the sports world’s finest ethnic slurs face off in Washington as the Kansas City Chiefs, owned by non-affiliated Christian & white male Clark Hunt, take on a Washington team owned by Jewish businessman & white male Dan Snyder.

Hunt, who lettered in soccer at Southern Methodist University in 1987, and therefore did not have any hand in the alleged murder of five hookers while Craig James definitely attended SMU between 1979-82, majored in business, worked at Goldman Sachs and was named head of Hunt Sports Group LLC when his father Lamar died. He shares ownership with his three siblings. He was influential in getting his father to back the creation of Major League Soccer, something that validated the league in its early days of operation.

Dan Snyder, a petty little man who has a tendency to sue any organization that writes untruthful things, is a businessman notorious for attempting to squeeze every penny out of the organizations he owns or belongs to as well as monetizing the fan base. I refer you to Dave McKenna’s piece from the Washington City Paper for more details. Snyder attempted to sue the paper & author for defamation, but the suit was withdrawn in the face of a SLAPP motion by the defendants. Currently surrounded by yes-men, he presides over a team that hasn’t done anything meaningful in the NFL since Joe Gibbs first discovered car racing.

The game itself should be a spirited affair, as Kansas City are the only remaining unbeaten team and Washington wants to keep pace with the Eagles & stay one game ahead of the Cowboys. Alex Smith is doing a commendable job holding back the tide wanting high draft pick Patrick Mahomes to come in & take the reins. Now that they have settled on a pronunciation, Washington is enjoying another Kirk Cousins franchise-tag year, as their recent devastation of the Raiders proved. They both have solid receiving corps, and while Washington has the advantage in the safety/corner department, they won’t be able to do much without being able to stop KC’s Kareem Hunt, who is the prime reason Alex Smith looks as good as he does.

It’s either going to be a 42-38 barnburner or a 7-6 slog. Gun to my head, I’d take the Chiefs.


Tonight’s sports:

  • NFL:
    • Washington at Kansas City – 8:15PM | ESPN / TSN
      • en español en ESPN2
  • WWE
    • Monday Night Raw – 8:00PM | USA / Sportsnet360

Baseball playoffs start tomorrow with the AL play-in game, followed by the NL game & NHL home openers Wednesday. WE’RE GOOD UNTIL FEBRUARY!

Romonobyl

OK…THAT was impressive.

ballsofsteelandfury

I love how everyone keeps stumbling on LA Chargers.

LemonJello

Well, you can’t call them the Shitty Football Clippers on network tv.

Romonobyl

You can on Comedy Network…ppl forget that.

Spur

The SanLA Chargers

Doktor Zymm

It really should be Le Chargers

litre_cola

Raiders rumoUred to be looking at Kaep?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Really? I’d be happy to have him but seems expensive to have around just for a few weeks.

litre_cola

Carr could be out 2-6 weeks. Quite a big window.

King Hippo

Back injuries linger

litre_cola

Don’t I know it.

King Hippo

same here with neck (it’s all c-spine, eh?)

Prediction: [*Redacted] s will turn it over and give up a touchdown and go into the locker room down 14-10, because of course every team playing against the Chiefs does stupid shit like that.

Doktor Zymm

They DO have some special teams issues, making this distinctly possible

Doktor Zymm

kelce scored? How long is the taunting/unsportsmanlike penalty to be applied on the kickoff?

Spur

he gave the Washington defender an Indian Burn. No Flag.

Spur

Let’s go First Nations!

If you don’t know the tribe name then it’s better saying that than native americans.

ballsofsteelandfury

Kansas City should be the Arrowheads.

Senor Weaselo

*Googles* Anacostians?

Romonobyl

I’ll bet Andy Reid’s playbook comes with a wine list.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Gravy list.

ballsofsteelandfury

It’s important to pair the white and brown correctly.

litre_cola

That guy on reddit agrees.

Romonobyl

“This guy gets it!!!”

-D. Trump

theeWeeBabySeamus

It’s important to pair the white and brown correctly.

– Thomas Jefferson

make it snow

I bet it comes with a bib.

Horatio Cornblower

A stained bib

...

Both the list and playbook are actually edible.

Doktor Zymm

Just mix them all together in a bucket

Horatio Cornblower

That pretty much fucks me in FF this week.

Well, that TD and my own shitty managing.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yay

Spur

Andy Reid is going to get a funnel cake at halftime.

King Hippo

“a”?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Andy Reid was disappointed to learn funnel cake didn’t mean someone shoved a whole cake down a funnel into your mouth

Horatio Cornblower

Yeah. At halftime.

YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH.

I keep forgetting that football starts an hour earlier here.

ballsofsteelandfury

MOUNTAIN time rocks!

make it snow

I fucking love it but I’m definitely not fully adjusted yet.

King Hippo

Donks WOO amirite??

make it snow

FUCK YEAH

We’re gonna try to go to a game soon.

Spur

Best Coast. After years of Central, give me Best Coast time anytime.

...

So someone at work was selling a pair of Bears tickets for the Monday night game next week. Usually tickets go within an hour or so, but these sat available for five days. The guy put out a plea today referring to the debut of “future Hall of Famer and multiple Super Bowl winner Mitchell David Trubisky” as the selling point. I rolled my eyes but it worked on someone.

...

It does not help that it’s very likely the Cubs will be playing at Wrigley at the same time as that game but the tickets didn’t go before anyone even knew this so… Bear Down or some shit.

Horatio Cornblower

Welp, that clinches it. Definitely taking Minnesota next week in the eliminator.

Dick E. Phuck

Same, wild card game is kinda bullshit.

Doktor Zymm

Was he asking more than $20? That might be the problem

...

They were 16 or so rows back from the field in an end zone corner. Good seats but not worth $300 for the pair especially not considering what else will be going on that night.

ballsofsteelandfury

Do these tickets come with a day off Tuesday? Otherwise, what’s the point?

litre_cola

This game has been kind of a snoozer, I would much rather watch Deuce Gruden powerlift Reid.

Spur

Just throw the ball to Hunt and hand-off to him, that’s all i ask.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

“…and the Chiefs are lucky that ball was not turned over…”

I swear to God I hear this 40 times during every goddamned Chiefs game.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I see my prediction skills remain positively Glennon esque

WCS

Overall garbage, but, still manage to beat the Stillers each time?

Spur

Stop throwing to Tyreek Hill….but still win the game.

Horatio Cornblower

No, keep throwing to Tyreek Hill.

Doktor Zymm

OR, throw to whoever you want, and lose the game!

Horatio Cornblower

I also have Thompson so I can live with that as long as he gets lots of yards.

Spur

How are you watching the game? I thought you were in Botswana.

Doktor Zymm

I’m not really, i’m just occasionally refreshing the nfl game center page

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Based on that drop, it shouldn’t shock you that Pryor used to play for the Raiders.

LemonJello

With the name Pryor, it was pretty much pre-ordained.

Romonobyl

At least he took a crack at it.

Horatio Cornblower

Where!? -Marion Berry

Doktor Zymm

Bitch set him up!

Spur

Folks

litre_cola

Howdy tex.

Romonobyl

Hiyaz.

...

I should repost that reddit thing where the guy complains about women having their anus too close to their vagina.

Romonobyl

Taint it the truth?

ballsofsteelandfury

wait what?

What’s the “logic”?

Gratliff

He’s been with MANY WOMEN, and feels they should be ashamed of this flaw

LemonJello

Herr Charlemango is on Reddit as well as Twitter?

litre_cola

I read that, made zero sense to me.

Horatio Cornblower

Christ. That fucking guy.

WCS

He’s just made because he has the anatomy of a Ken doll.

Viva La Tabula Raza

If those two orifices were farther apart, there would not be such a thing as a Shocker.

Dick E. Phuck

It’s all one big slit, can confirm. Of course, I realized too late that I was actually rubbing my dick on a venus fly trap. So maybe cannot confirm.

Horatio Cornblower

About to go two fingers into some 18 year old Scotch.

Hope her Da nae minds.

Romonobyl

Just keep your middle and ring finger safely curled away.

Dick E. Phuck

That’s what I said to my buddy Before I propositioned ladies for sex when I went on Vacation in Scotland a few years back.

LemonJello

-Jason Pierre-Paul

Horatio Cornblower

Oh that is sublime.

Someone mentioned the dumbest in the NFL?

Romonobyl

The Dame is currently en route from Red Lobster with a bagful of cheddar biscuits just for me.
I married well, better that she did.

ballsofsteelandfury

Are the Redacteds actually good? I’m confused at what I’m seeing.

Dick E. Phuck

It’s a mirage. I’M TELLIN ALL Y’ALL IT’S SABOTAGE.

LemonJello

I’d buy feminine hygiene products if they used this song as their theme:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5rRZdiu1UE

Romonobyl

See what I mean?

Romonobyl

Still the best damned video evah on MTV.

They will have a glorious fade. Book it.

You think they’re all going to go get haircuts together on their bye week?

Travis Kelce may be the dumbest guy in the NFL.

Now THAT is a reality show competition I would watch

Horatio Cornblower

It would never, ever end.

that Pacman Jones still has an active roster spot right?

KHunt to the left, KHunt to the right! I needs all the KHunt I can get and then some.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I just….I got nothing. Laughing too hard.

Horatio Cornblower

Sounds like Rothlisberger in a dive bar during Spring Break.

King Hippo

HARF! The Ben just look in the potty.

ballsofsteelandfury

Does anyone want to talk Catalonia Independence referendum?

King Hippo

Seems like a real shit show over there. When did Spain get so authoritarian?

hippofant

Since the Basques.

ballsofsteelandfury

kaixo!

Doktor Zymm

11th century or so

Dick E. Phuck

Franco

Brick Meathook

Hmmm… Google “Franco”

King Hippo

yeah but I thought they got rid of him and became, like, NORMAL and shit

King Hippo

/I dunno much about Spain

Viva La Tabula Raza

Well, they did put a king in charge when Franco died. Felipe IV is the current monarch. Kings don’t like internal strife.

ballsofsteelandfury

That King iss about as involved in the government as Queen Elizabeth, so…

Viva La Tabula Raza

Yeah, probably spends most of his time in Monte Carlo or Ibiza or someplace like that.

herodotus450

smh they shuld stick to making salad dressing

Senor Weaselo

Have the votes come in yet?

hippofant

Supposedly 90% Yes. Which… yeah, probably not real.

Romonobyl

Evening all,
I’m almost not in the mood to do this tonight, I’m beginning to lose faith in society as a whole.

Romonobyl

Didn’t mean to beat a dead horse, but fuck me…

theeWeeBabySeamus

Things a really weird prostitute says for $200, Alex.

Doktor Zymm

I’m pretty sure you could get a prostitute to say that for less than $200

LemonJello

You’re supposed to pay them?
-C. James, SMU

herodotus450

DONT TELL ME I CANT BEAT HORSES! MAH FREEDOMMMMM!

Dick E. Phuck

They were asking for it. DID YOU SEE HOW THAT MARE WAS DRESSED!?

LemonJello

Can you keep your John Elway/Sarah Jessica Parker fanfic to yourself?

litre_cola

It is why we come here. Escapism.

JustStopDude

Speak for yourself. I am here for the assplay.

litre_cola

I thought that went without saying, kind of like our safe word.

ballsofsteelandfury

Just now?

Romonobyl

I see enough of the good to maintain what little hope there is left, then this shit happens. I refuse to give up on the good of so many because of the horror created by so few.

King Hippo

ppl can be ok in small groups (or better yet, IMAGINARY flocks) but societal groupings, forget about it.

I think it’s because we have forgotten how to reason with one another, maybe? Or just that the universe moves towards disorder/entropy and time is just running out on the human experiment.

Dick E. Phuck

The fact that you’ve kept the faith this long really shows either great mental fortitude or extreme naivety.

King Hippo

Look at it this way…it’s a good thing society ain’t got long left.

litre_cola

So Lavar Ball is homeschooling his youngest son? That will work out well for sure in his mental development.

Dick E. Phuck

Calc I: Sponsored by BBB

King Hippo

He’s likely to kill about 50 people before he can go have his hyped 4 months at UCLA. 5 hours a day of ego training, 2 hours of dribbling, and an hour of Republican Jeebus, I guess.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I’m sure he’ll get tired of it pretty quick and turn those duties over to his dad, so all is well.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Now we’re talking.

ballsofsteelandfury

There’s 12 left in the suicide pool and Hippo took the chiefs, so we could be down to 11.

Doktor Zymm

survivor pool is an awfully long way to spell tontine

herodotus450

A 19 yard FG, do I see that right? How many yards inside the endzone did they have to snap it from to get a 19 yard FG?

Senor Weaselo

I think it would be from like the 2?

Wakezilla

Interesting to see the same people get mad at kneeling because it’s disrespectful to the trools, are ignoring troops about their taeks on automatic weapons in the hands of civilians.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

STICK TO INVADING FOREIGN COUNTRIES AND KILLING THEIR CIVILIANS!

Dick E. Phuck
Dick E. Phuck

Trools, I like that. That’s what we should call all mentally deficient right wing wannabe military types.

Doktor Zymm

They also ignored all the troops who supported the anthem protests, so it’s pretty obvious that ‘respecting’ the troops doesn’t involve listening to or caring about their opinions

Man, I want one of those rocket packs.

Doktor Zymm

Ok, imma take the 11 am shuttle so I can pretend I’m watching football for another couple hours. The hottest part of the day is clearly the best time to go hiking uphill in the sun anyway

Where in Bali are you? Ubud is awesome.

That is where in Bali I am. plan for today is the campuhan ridge walk.

Go to the Dirty Duck diner for dinner, order the smoked duck 24 hours before. It is so worth it.

Fuck this. Later.

Is anyone still alive in the Survivor Pool or will a Washington win knock out the last people.

Also, is this like the Spelling Bee where if everyone loses in a round, then no one is eliminated?

(dumb Redshirt trusted the Falcons)

my $$ League entry is alive:

LAR, OAK, NE, GB

Dick E. Phuck

“Is anyone still alive in the Survivor Pool?”
– My Grandfather, holocaust survivor

King Hippo

this is at least as good as your Mohel joke

Dick E. Phuck

So it’s a nosh below average?

litre_cola

I am alive in Yeahrights

Doktor Zymm

So based on what I see here and occasional glimpses of nfl.com, was last Sunday nawt a fluke and is DC actually looking damn good? Should I start getting super excited about losing a playoff game yet?

litre_cola

Doc arent you moving soon?

Doktor Zymm

Yep, but I haven’t lived in the DC area for 9 years anyway. I keep my fandom as a link to my roots sort of thing.

Gratliff

I moved to Michigan from the Philly area. It’s basically like there isn’t a pro football team here.

King Hippo

Book passage FOAR the NFC Title Game in Tinseltown!!

Redshirt

Oh, yes. Its a great way to spend a 2nd weekend of January watching a football game while trying to make your team’s heads explode with mind powers your trying to evolve on the fly.

hippofant

I just noticed that they have this guy stand there, holding up the review tablet inside what looks like a cardboard box frame, with a ribbon handle on it. That’s… that’s a job there.

JustStopDude

I wonder what you make an hour…

Assuming its got better benefits than the fucking players.

Doktor Zymm

People do all sorts of useless crap on the sideline. I’m convinced some of them are just there to occasionally get run into when they’re short of highlights

litre_cola

Mrs Cola told me yesterday that this is the job she aspires for. Thinks her 100k in student loans would be worth it if she was tablet girl.

LemonJello

Would she dress like the ring girls in boxing and MMA?
