Your “Happy, Snappy and Fappy” Thursday Night Football Open Thread

Hey, mirth-makers! So good to see you again. I’m hoping that the vast majority of you are enjoying this short work week like I am. That Monday off is always great. And then starting the week on the Tuesday, half-assing it on Wednesday (I work from home that day-it took me a while to figure out how to do it but it was highly recommended by the likes of some of you folks so I had to), putting in quality time today and finishing up tomorrow makes for a delightful way to bring home the artisan bacon. And then what?-watching football all day Saturday and Sunday. Some may care to do other things like be an integral part of their family, volunteer their time, what have you. Whatever. It takes all kinds, amirite? Listen, obligations come in all kinds of shapes, sizes and flavours-we all know this. As for tonight, the Thursday Football Gods have conjured up a lou-lou. Or maybe just a loo? Shall we break it down a wee bit? Sure. Let’s go…. TO THE GAME!

 

EAGLES/PANTHERS: Look at you, you gorgeous 4-1 squadoos! Very impressive I must say-separating yourself from the dregs of the NFC and everything! We should/might see what the Eagles are really made of tonight. There’s talk among the cynics (primarily godawful Eagles fans) that their record was built on a mound of cupcakes. Looking at their last three wins (over the Cards, Lawnclippers and Giants) there may be some merit to this. My take is that they’re doing something right because they sit third in the league in total offense. They know how to move the ball. Plus they must be motivated to gain even more ground on the 2-2 ‘Dacteds and the [snorts derisively]* 2-3 Cowsquirrels.  The Cam is rounding into his previous NFL MVP shape if one were to look at his last two games-he’s tossed for 300+ yards in each and seems to be over the shoulder trouble that contributed to 5 INT’s to this point. His play has to be spectacular because despite young McCaffrey busting his TD cherry last week the ground game was responsible for a whole 28 yards on 28 carries. I don’t math well but that doesn’t seem very good.

Bust that comment section a new a-hole, buckaroos!

*It’s all that I have left. Just give me this!

Both these guys were nominated for Academy Awards for this but oddly only the dude on the left won even though dude on the right is clearly doing it better.

Col. Duke LaCross

It’s almost as if teams will have more success on third and long if they run routes past the line to gain rather than five yard dump offs.

King Hippo

WEIRD!!

Shogun Marcus

The defense also knows where the first down marker is and call a play to defend that particular depth of pass, thus the percentage of success drops and the percentage of turn-overs increase. A dump off gives a better open field runner the ball in open undefended space, it is a high percentage completion rate and the runner has a better chance of making the first down than a double covered receiver down field.

and/or they are trying to bait you into taking the dumpoff, unless you have a really good open field runner, this is probably still not a good option to take

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Nope. But it should be the last read.

“trying to bait you into taking the dumpoff,”
Fucking seriously?

To be fair, they tend to hire business majors over geography majors.

hippofant

Puerto Rico being in the Caribbean isn’t exactly Bachelor’s degree in Geography material.

King Hippo

plus it isn’t separated from the US…it is the US (at least kinda sorta)

He didn’t respond to my comment of how this was the biggest snub since AMERICAN Pie didn’t win Best Sex Scene at the MTV Movie Awards.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Wait, penalty on the offense on the PAT and they get to keep the point?

hippofant

Defense can choose to make them rekick or apply it to the kickoff.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Thanks. I could see accepting that on the old PAT’s, but on the new ones I’d make them kick it again.

hippofant

Oh. It was on the defense? I guess someone was covering the centre. I figured it was the old not-covering-the-end version.

Tony Romo called him “The Great Zack Ertz.” This Tony Romo guy might be okay.

Romonobyl

You’ll all be relieved to know that I think I’ve resolved my fruit fly infestation. I ordered a weapons-grade bug zapper from teh Amazon, every time one of those little fuckers hits the grid there’s a remarkably loud and satisfying pop.
I’m glad they’re finally gone, the loud music and all the shit they were leaving in the their yard was killing my property value.

Gratliff

My kid attempted to make waffles on his own last year and in a panic or stupidity, shoved the waffle iron, still loaded with batter into the back of a cabinet under the sink. The fruit flying was intense.

King Hippo

your restraint is admirable, as you have made it clear your child is still alive

also congrats on your restraint – stopping at one

So no need for, as Hippo put it, “little death ovens” of vinegar and soap?
/just wanted to boost the SEO for “little death ovens”

Romonobyl

They helped, but weren’t the final solution.
Fuck, now I’m really going to hell…

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Oh, man, I could see actively encouraging the fruit fly population growth to enjoy that effect.

Romonobyl

If you happen to be watching, there’s also a neat little flash as the fly’s body is vaporized. Intensely pleasurable.

King Hippo

I am quite happy for you. Is this industrial bug zapper a reliable killer of regular house flies, too? I bought a fly-killa a decade ago, and was NO SMIRE re the results.

litre_cola

This is an absolute implosion.

Do you think if espn was still relevant, and Wilson Contreras hit a walk-off home run in some game, Kenny Mayne would do the highlight on sportscenter and say “Oh, Contraire-es!”?
Or would he go with “Wilson just being Contrary-es with that hit!” ?

Mr. Ayo

He hit it over some fencing they had set up in the outfield.

herodotus450

Yeah that’s more of a Kenny Mayne tone, the Contreras puns probably would’ve been Stuart Scott.
