Your “Saturday Nights Are Total Sports Nights Again!” Evening Open Thread

It’s here! It’s here! It’s finally here!

OH GOD, I NEED MORE!!!111!

And maybe a little something for my American friends?

 

  


Looking ahead to tomorrow, here are the NFL broadcast maps courtesy the fine folks at 506sports.com:

CBS SINGLE


 Anchorage AK  |   Fairbanks AK
 Honolulu HI

Jacksonville @ Pittsburgh Kevin Harlan, Rich Gannon
LA Chargers @ NY Giants* Ian Eagle, Dan Fouts
Tennessee @ Miami Andrew Catalon, James Lofton
Buffalo @ Cincinnati Tom McCarthy, Steve Beuerlein, Steve Tasker
Baltimore @ Oakland (LATE) Greg Gumbel, Trent Green
Seattle @ LA Rams (LATE) Spero Dedes, Adam Archuleta

*NOTE: LA Chargers-NY Giants will air in Los Angeles on KCAL 9.

That Chargers-Giants game looks like it’s going to be BRUUUUUUUUTAL. The over/under on Dan Fouts “back in my day” stories is 6, slightly less than the number of Eli-Philip draft-day 2004 stories. IT MIGHT BE THEIR LAST TIME!

 

FOX EARLY


 Anchorage AK  |   Fairbanks AK
 Honolulu HI

Carolina @ Detroit Kenny Albert, Charles Davis
Arizona @ Philadelphia Chris Myers, Daryl Johnston
NY Jets @ Cleveland Sam Rosen, Ronde Barber
San Francisco @ Indianapolis Thom Brennaman, Chris Spielman
NO GAME due to local team at home on CBS

Okay, work with me here. The Jets-Browns game is a must-watch due to the car crash nature of both teams. But why is this shit on FOX? They’re both AFC teams. I know there are arcane rules about who gets what game when it’s split between conferences, but this seems like CBS begged the League to make FOX host a shit show for once. How else can you explain why Seahawks-RAMMIT! is on CBS?

 

FOX LATE


 Anchorage AK  |   Fairbanks AK
 Honolulu HI

Green Bay @ Dallas Joe Buck, Troy Aikman
NO GAME due to local team at home on CBS

All I can say is that God, or Roger Goodell, or possibly both, hate the Bay area. Sure, Oakland-Baltimore is a good-looking game, but why can’t they have both? The Raiders are already leaving; why force locals to watch the misery slip away?

I’m spending all weekend (including tonight) doing a ten part cram course in Python and TCL scripting, at least when I’m not searching for the perfect cutaway engine photo. By Monday I should be able to bullshit my way through it I think.

Python isn’t hard, but it is annoying

I know a little bit of it so it’s not completely foreign. I really should know it a lot better, so this situation is turning out to be the perfect thing that made me buckle down and do it.

OU has lots six straight years to a team they were favored to beat by double digits? Seems shady
