Your “Huh – A Quality Monday Night Game. How’d That Happen?” Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

  • Ezekiel Elliott gets to play Sunday against the [Redacteds].
    • The NFL was denied an expedited preliminary injunction in advance of the October 30th hearing into their appeal of the injunction related to a different appeal.
      • The earliest Zeke can be sidelined is November 5th.
  • Vontaze Burfict will not be suspended for his kick to the helmet Sunday into Steeler’s RB Roosevelt Nix.
    • He’ll probably just be fined.
    • FYI – whatever happened to KSK Kommenter Vontaze Me Bro? Is he hanging with Otto Man? Wither Sarah Sprague?
  • Texans LT Duane Brown has ended his holdout, and expects to play & not be traded.
    • He wanted out of the remaining two years of his deal, feeling his efforts were under-appreciated (i.e. – money).
  • Key injuries from Sunday:
    • Joe Thomas (Browns) – torn triceps. Prognosis: done for year.
    • Jay Cutler (Dolphins) – cracked ribs. Prognosis: out indefinitely.
    • Matt Slauson (Chargers) – torn biceps. Prognosis: done for year.

Finally, in case you didn’t see it (HA!), lots of people had fun with last night’s Fog Bowl II.

There were the serious,

the serious,

the ridiculous,

and the idiotic.


Sometimes, when he’s bored, Internet Dad will let me clear out the spam filter, because he knows I have no credit cards and thus can’t be swindled into paying for whatever boondoggle is offered our way. (Pfft – “Help Puerto Rico”?) After all, it’s important to keep people like Russians & carpet dealers from interrupting our enjoyment of dick jokes & Moose gifs.

Last night, however, we were almost treated to this in the Open Thread

I had so many questions: (sadly, not 25)

  • Who were these girls?
  • Where were they incarcerated?
  • How desperate are they?

Sadly, what I thought was a clickbait-dream turned out to be nothing more than a spam site offering cheat-codes for a fee. Why, it wasn’t even worth running around the school board filter to try & access. TRY HARDER, COMMIES!


Game preview: Washington at Philadelphia

It seems funny now that this game is, for all intents, probably the deciding game for the NFC East this season. The Ginats have been out of it since Week-3, and the Cowboys are reverting to the 8-8 Jason Garrett mean. If Washington has any hope of making the playoffs as a wild card (at minimum), they need to go into the Eagles house & smash in their teeth like the Eagles did to them Opening Sunday.

Carson Wentz has blossomed into a possible real-deal in his second year under Doug Pederson. The offence has been expanded each week, as Wentz’s skill set shows he’s ready for a broader range of QB options. Receivers like Alshon Jeffrey & Torrey Smith help compensate for the learning curve, and Zach Ertz has become the Eagles’ Travis Kelce as Wentz’s reliable check-down option. The defence is solid yet unremarkable, as they really have yet to be tested; the hardest game they’ve had was against Carolina, and they bounced Newton all over that field.

Meanwhile, future-other-team’s QB Kirk Cousins is both playing for bonuses & auditioning for roles elsewhere, so look for him to sling the ball all over the field, to whomever’s healthy enough to be in the lineup. And speaking of healthy, there’s no Josh Norman for the foreseeable future, so good luck covering the deep route. All they can really hope for is to run the ball & eat the clock, because they will lose an air war with the Eagles.

Prediction: Eagles by 10.


Tonight’s sports:

  •  NBA:

      • last night’s PPV was a schmozz due to viral meningitis & mumps bringing down a bunch of scheduled wrestlers, so they have to work their replacements into the canon. Or not. Either way, it ought to be a blast figuring out.
      • Also, they’d better follow-up on this:

Yes, Pedo vs. Rapey; The Coverup Special.

I’ll openly cheer for Ohio State this week.

fortunately, my teevee will be on NBC so I won’t feel the shame of actually seeing the game whilst doing so…but yeah

NC State is gonna tear the Domers a new asshole this weekend. In their house. This I promise the Commentist Party.

I failed at drinking all this prosecco before the half, but that’s okay because I actually want to watch the second half, if for no other reason than watching my fantasy victory slowly crumble at the same time as the team I support

If they form a conga line and make the TD that way, I would go okay with it. Otherwise nothing is crazy enough

You think Parcells would take a swing at Belichick if he was still coaching?

Apparently this only aired in California. Fascinating.

Man could you imagine if they allowed comments on that video.

That would be ground zero for youtube shittery.

ballsofsteelandfury

I saw it on ESPN at the last commercial break. I couldn’t believe the rest of you didn’t comment on it but I guess it was only for California.

deviantBastard

I caught the tail end of the ad this morning during the news. I just ignored it.

Did not see it here. Because in WA, we support our president!*

If they had shown it here in TX, Governor Abbott would have issued a fatwa on that guy.

Pretty solid result for the worst half of the Eagles’ season.

litre_cola

Plus they get the ball back.

Spur

Ertz so good….just not against Dallas.

Doktor Zymm

So, on my long drives of the past few days I’ve been thinking. pete Carroll thinks that the US government did 9/11. He thinks America perpetrated a terrorist attack on its own soil, and yet no one says that he’s disrespectful of the US. But kneeling? Way worse?

ballsofsteelandfury

He’s white

Col. Duke LaCross

White guy

Unsurprised

He’s white. So are most 9/11 Truthers.

Spur

Old rich and white. He’s eccentric.

herodotus450

AND he once coached the Jets. The Jets!

Petronel

Soooo…he’s trying to cover up his own involvement by blaming Da Feds…am I doing that right?

herodotus450

It’s a good start but you are still clearly brainwashed by the lamestream, new world order media. I mean, obviously, the Original Pete was pumping his players with super soldier mind control gas and they had to get rid of him when he learned too much and wanted to leave the program. Why do you think they filled the 9/11 planes with ultra-flammable jet fuel? To make sure Pete and all his players’ bodies were destroyed beyond all recognition. The current “Pete Carroll” is just a black ops agent taking his place and trying to discredit him by being a conspicary theorist to throw people off the scent. Which also explains why his coaching record improved so much after 2001.

Unsurprised

Have you read the theories about the supposed additive in the fuel which is why it burned orange when jet fuel “usually” burns a different color?

herodotus450

You know what else is orange…

Petronel

I bow in awe of vastly superior crazy thinking. I am but the grasshopper.

JustStopDude

To me, its no different than a lot of shit that is cool for white folks to do, but black folks can get into serious shit for.

Like a brother can never raise his voice in public because if you are seen as aggressive, that’s pretty much all that is necessary to get arrest or some random asshole is justified in putting a bullet in you.

Hell, you really want to fuck your kid long term, name him Jamal. You never have to worry about him getting a job because that poor fucker will never have an application get through HR.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

It’s similar for women. IWDB has been accused of being “too aggressive” at meetings the past for taking no shit and talking just as loud as the guys.

JustStopDude

What I love is this carries over in so called “liberal” circles like academia where your likelihood of getting published, reviewed, and funding is often times based on you have a white, male name.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Very true. It extends every which way. IWDB was telling me that code written by women is generally preferred, but only when it’s anonymous. If names are attached, the clearly male name will have their code used more often.

King Hippo

It’s slowly changing in the legal profession, the generation 1/2 below mine (even in a very traditional mid-South firm like mine) is at least 50/50 women, because they’re damned good. Really give a better rounded perspective to client service, too, in a way that is very refreshing to me, and finally overwhelmed the hold-outs who find it threatening.

Unsurprised

But they get pushed out or burn out at much higher rates early on.

I keep demanding bar numbers for retention of women and POC, but apparently that’s beyond OSB’s ability.

Aw, fuck it. Not your guys’ problem.

...

Liberal bigotry is my favorite phenomenon.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

I wonder if it Ertz to get tackled like that.

So its open season for TD celebrations and the NFL is no longer clamping down, what is the post TD celebration a player could do that would lead to the NFL flipping out and banning celebrations again?

I am thinking simulating a suicide bombing with the football…

Kneeling.

Take it even further…praying to Mecca.

Oh wait, the NFL already fined Husain Abdullah that one time.

I would pay actual money to see two guys simulate an e-meter auditing session out there.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Frantically simulating masturbation, and then “spurting” the football at climax?

JustStopDude

I like that…but take it farther where the rest of the team surrounds the scoring player and simulates a team wide bukkaki…

That would wake them up in Wichita!

Okay, that’s a super dumb celebration dance

Doktor Zymm

Y’all might get a kick out of this. My high school mascot was the Blazer. It was supposed to be a less offensive name for ‘red devils’ but they didn’t know that it would become a drug reference. There was a very entertaining high school president speech about a ‘blaze of glory’ that fully played up the implications

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Gratliff

Back when I was 12 and in Boy Scouts, we went to Dover Air Force Base, and they played Blaze of Glory over their propaganda/hype package. It seemed like an odd choice to put a song that focuses on the “SHOT DOWN” part for an Air Force video, but whatever.

Unsurprised

Dover is where the USAF morgue is.

King Hippo

why is “red devils” offensive ,, no ofence?

Doktor Zymm

Damned if I know, that was just the half asses explanation for why we had such a weird mascot
