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?

Mr. Ayo

Old Yeller’s revenge?

Brick Meathook

The trained Hollywood dog does his job and jumps up to get the treat that’s in the stuntman’s hand. After that, he’s just watching the stuntman fall off the set piece and is thinking “wow look at that dude fall that looks cool I hope I get another treat.”

On a scale of Balki Bartokomous to Joseph Goebbels, how morally wrong would it be to eat peanut laden trail mix in the home of my friend who is putting me up and has a kid with a deadly peanut allergy?

theeWeeBabySeamus

While I like seeing kids in full blown anaphylaxis as much as the next guy, as long as you don’t eat it and then tongue kiss the kid then I think you’re good.

Like seriously, don’t tongue kiss the kid even if you don’t eat peanuts, tho.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

You’re no fun anymore

theeWeeBabySeamus

Moose gets it. The correct answer was Casey Anthony.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

We can turn “Casey Anthony” into a verb if you like. Hell, I referred to Central America as a continent earlier.

So Wayne Simmonds is probably better than Claude Giroux now. Huh.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Well, as a person? Morally or ethically? I suppose what really matters is Wayne can hold his liquor a lot better than Claude.

Wakezilla

Because I drafted Claude over Wayne, this is an inevitability

blaxabbath

Khalil Tate is Vicklike. He might be the savior for Arizona and Richrod’s career.

He’s gonna go home back to the dorms and punch some chick now, isn’t he?

America is three REGIONS that encompass many nations…..

comment image

[EDIT PER Sr. Mr. Weasselo.]

Senor Weaselo

I was focusing more on the “best country in the nation” bit that I didn’t catch it. And Central America is not considered a continent.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Sorry; regions. Correct; ‘MURIKA! YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS HIPPIE!

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Although; the US has fucked with every country from interference to outright regime change that we can claim them as our little brothers.

Back from Nats Park and a little post-game drinking. That could have gone better from the perspective of a Cubs fan.

Wakezilla

Who won?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

🙁

Wakezilla

Caps, Liouns, Ice Liouns and Huskies are playing at once. No time for dirt football

Wakezilla

As someone who had Ovi last year for my regular and playoffs pool, I fully support Olberman’s take that his ass ahould be deported back to Russia for wishing Putin a happy birthday. Bonus points in Olberman tries and fails to do this himself

Wakezilla

At the gym, workingon the core and Indian barbie is thankfully here. One thing I can’t help but notice is that she wears the same outfit each time. Does she have a closet full of the same outfit or just one? I see her here 3-4 times a week, so I can’t say I caught her in between rotations, ya know?

The “pleasure” scene in Bruce Almighty?

Senor Weaselo

Oh yeah, on a related note, evening lizard people. You would’ve gotten a House of Pain on McDonald’s Szechuan Sauce, but I got out of work at 3:30 and it was all gone by, let’s see, they started at 2, so… 2:03?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Go Sparty.
That is all.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I jinxed Sparty.
Now I will go and feel shame.

Senor Weaselo

Sam Rosen’s doing Jets-Browns? He does know it will not be a power-play field goal, correct?
/On a related note, goddammit Ice Giants, how did everyone forget to play this much defense?

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

I see Ovechkin’s back in “I’m a fucking monster” mode again.

Horatio Cornblower

Well, it’s not the play-offs, so…

Nothing more terrifying on the golf courses in early June than the Ovie Monster…

I just realized you have a different name, what gives?

So the car design thingy was indeed about autonomous vehicles. It was awesome. This shit is really about to happen folks and I’m all in. Some really fucking cool technology.

Take me home Johnny Cab!

Horatio Cornblower

Autonomous cars are not for me. I like my cars the way I like my women; badly operated by me with a lot of squealing, screeching, burning and odd smells until a police officer pulls us over and tells us to knock it off, there are children in the neighborhood and what the hell’s the matter with you two anyway.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

I like my cars the way I like my old lover: problems with the manual stick shift and a charged object in the battery hole.

Romonobyl

I like my cars like I like my women, German with all the junk in the trunk.

Romonobyl

Lemme e’splain, many German cars have the engines in the back, please carry on.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I like my cars like I like my women. I usually can’t get ’em started and more often than not I forget where I left ’em.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I like my cars like I like my women: made in Korea and very economical.

Romonobyl

I’ll stick with Otto.

comment image

Horatio Cornblower

“I’ll stick with Otto”

I’ll take ‘things heard at the KSK Fantasy Kommenter Draft‘ for $800 Alex.

Romonobyl

I’ll never forget his Columbus Day joke.

Doktor Zymm

Nepal is surprisingly expensive. I don’t know a huge amount about their government, but based on their income and the amount of rebuilding they’re still doing from the earthquake, I assume it kinda sucks

Spanky Datass

Expensive? Darn. So I guess I’m not getting that “Dok Zymm went to Nepal and all Spanky got was this lousy yak-hair poncho” I was hoping for?

Doktor Zymm

Is it okay if the yak is still in it?

Spanky Datass

Absolutely! As long as the words are pre-woven into the yak hair. Bonus if it’s a female yak because my Angus bull tells me he has a bit of a yak fetish.

Romonobyl

They’re OK, but I prefer Tupolev myself.

comment image

Romonobyl

Must be nice. All I got was a Thank You for Calling Customer Service bumper sticker.

Horatio Cornblower

Their economy, to my understanding, is largely based on people who want to climb mountains that, in turn, want to kill people who climb them.

I’m not sure it’s the most sustainable economic plan I’ve ever heard of.

Horatio Cornblower

Just got home from taking the daughter to Boston, spent the day nerding out about comics, picked brisket and pulled pork on the way home, sat down, cracked an IPA from a local brewery, turned on the TV and it turns out the Nationals came back and beat the Cubs.

This day is making me question my atheism.

Romonobyl

Educated Ook?

Horatio Cornblower

Somebody get him some Faulkner; he’ll be so confused he’ll forget how to peel a banana, let alone rule the world.

Doktor Zymm

I’ve been bitten by mosquitoes in so many damn countries it’s amazing I don’t have malaria or something. I am an advocate for the complete extermination of all mosquito species. Why can’t we use our extermination skills for good for once?

Romonobyl

But what about me?

comment image

Romonobyl

I do agree though, add cockroaches to the list as well.

Doktor Zymm

Spiders eat lots of other, more delicious stuff. It would be like getting rid of Bud Lite. Even frat boys would survive.

Romonobyl

Give me credit for finding a crying spider pic.

Doktor Zymm

It is pretty cute

Horatio Cornblower

I just got called into the other room to remove a spider the size of a quarter. Had to use the “slide a paper under an upside down glass” technique. Even I wasn’t picking that fucker up.

Romonobyl

I worked in a pet store a lifetime ago that sold tarantulas for lord knows the fuck why. I wouldn’t get near those nasty little shits, and I handled boa constrictors.

King Hippo

Lord knows the human species has tried to nuke the mosquito. But they breed fast and are highly adaptable (ie, develop resistance quickly), at least per a book I read

Doktor Zymm

I’m hoping that sterilization thing they’re trying works out. I’m not unreasonable, I can wait a year or two.

Col. Duke LaCross

I read an article once where almost to a person, most entomologists wouldn’t have a problem with eradicating the entire species. It’s really the only time I’ve ever seen an entire group of scientists come to a consensus on something like that, outside of certain bacteria and viruses and such.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Because Mosquitoes did 9/11

Wakezilla

Fun fact: I am the ultimate mosquito repellent. Those fuckers love sucking me off

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Oh my Lord, the Ice Giants are tied.

King Hippo

It looks like the Oregon crowd is pantomiming gaping, fisted buttholes.

Brocky

I’m not going to pretend I care about the IU-purdue rivalry, but the collective joy from purdue beating lowly Minnesota would be comical, if not for the shots at Indiana. Kinda reminds me of Notre dame beating Navy

King Hippo

the midwest is weird, dude

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

TBS’s streaming site is so shitty that I am contemplating streaming it in an even more illegal way than I already am.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I can’t tell if LA is getting #RAMMIT or #TARPIT. If it’s the latter there’s not a win between the two competitors, that’s lovely.

Brick Meathook

I think both.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It’s weird; how does CBS have the rights to a game with 2 NFC teams (Seahawks vs Rams)?

King Hippo

Fox underestimated the intensity of RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!!! fever.

Duchess

Fox/CBS can give up games to eachother if they have too many at once and think it would dilute their ratings for ad sales.

Duchess

Go Cubs… the disappointment of DC area fuels me!!!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Nationals keep hitting right to the shortstop. Are they hoping he’ll get tired?

Duchess

Who knew you needed an assistant hitting coach to know not to hit to the Short Stop

I kind of hate everything right now.
