Your “Pip, Pip, Huzzah And All That” Early Morning NFL Fixture Open Thread

Well, well, well-here we are again. Rise and shine, beasties because the NFL has got a treat for you! I’d suggest you have a bland breakfast of some sort since you don’t want it causing too much damage on the way back up. So tapioca it is! Man, do I hate tapioca. You know what? A nice bagel and cream cheese should do the trick. Let’s go with that. Now let’s go… TO THE GAME!

Min/Cle: By now you’ve heard that a gas leak in the kitchen forced the Brownies to get up in the middle of the night. The place they were staying at sounds like the most English-y spot ever-PennyHill Park in Bagshot. The more religious of the Browns players were surprised to discover that the Bible in the night table drawer was replaced with a copy of Charles Dickins’ The Pickwick Papers. For Cleveland it just gets worse and worse as things tend to get when you’re living in an 0-7 hole. The 311 on qb Kizer is just that-3 TD passes against 11 interceptions. With the exception of one time, each game he’s started has begun with a 3-and-out. The lone exception was a ‘drive’ four plays long. His pathetic wr crew hasn’t done him any favours either-they’ve got 13 drops total among them. How is Kenny Britt still starting in this league? Can I pile on some more? Sure. The team is without its best player in Joe Thomas and will also be missing starters at the dt, de, cb and safety positions.

Everson Griffin has nine sacks in seven games and is looking to get more while going up against the awesomely-named Spencer Drango. The latter sounds like the guy that Arnold lied to about killing last in that movie. Rb’s Murray and McKinnon have done well in Dalvin Cook’s absence as they both have a 100 yarder under their respective belts. Qb Case Keenum has had his ups and downs as one would expect of a perennial back-up but the guy is 4-2, cut him some slack.

Type away, my pretties!

This game has been entertaining, could be the wake and bake talking but I have enjoyed it.

King Hippo

McKinnon owner WOO!!!

Wakezilla

I still have the last bottle of wine in me, so, it’s been fine while I prep for a tutorial.

/lazy Aaron Rodgers playing in London joke goes here

JustStopDude

Per wikipedia…

Faggots are a traditional dish in the UK,[1][2] especially South and Mid Wales and the Midlands of England.[3][4][5] It is made from meat off-cuts and offal, especially pork.

So…I guess its something like scrapple….which is fucking AWESOME!!!

Unsurprised

They’re meatballs.

smh the West Country hasn’t been rich since 1942

Wakezilla

Think Harvey Weinstein sat in on the casting of Otto?

Spur

Show me your tits bitch.

theeWeeBabySeamus

All eight of ’em.

Brocky

There’s a joke about animal cruelty in making an actual animal be associated with the browns

ballsofsteelandfury

Of course Otto doesn’t sniff her crotch. Of course Otto doesn’t.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Well-trained…waited until camera was off.

Doktor Zymm

I would feel sorry for people who live in Cleveland, but many of them have the option of moving elsewhere so it’s really their own fault that they’re Browns fans

ballsofsteelandfury

So what’s JSD’s excuse?

Doktor Zymm

Masochism?

ballsofsteelandfury

REALLY FUCK U!!

King Hippo

McKinnon has a 25.8 to 4.68 lead on Rudolph in my money league, and he didn’t replace his bye week kicker. HUZZAH, probable 7-1.

Doktor Zymm

Wow, there are no early games featuring two teams over .500
The closest is Falcons/Jets

ballsofsteelandfury

Now you will discover the joy of drinking heavily in the morning.

Horatio Cornblower

Now?

ballsofsteelandfury

I don’t understand why Greg Gumbel gets so excited. Its the Browns offenxe…

Wakezilla

Sorry. . . Are we supposed to know who Jaime Eroher is?

litre_cola

A high school senior of course…..

litre_cola

Njoku clearly cannot catch, quit throwing it to him!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Nice tribute to Rob Bironas by McKinnon there. If I could make one note, I’d suggest he finish his drive at the goal post.

Never forget that Rick James was a giant piece of shit.

The London game playing for whom the bell tolls….

Fuck you that’s Chicago’s thing. You’re like the assholes in Oakland playing kelsey dagger

When Hitler invaded, Stalin moved all of the USSR’s industrial capacity beyond the Urals. I guess the Factory of Sadness has made a similar temporary eastward movement.

It’s the one Means of Production that the Bourgeoisie was happy to concede

King Hippo

oh you shits better let McKinnon run it in

Hippo we aren’t allowed nice things.

Wow, I guess we are.

@Mitch, just sent you a DM (aka Private Dick Joke). You can check it at the top, but I think it’s only visible on Desktop mode…

JustStopDude

Being a Browns fan is like being a parent of a heroin addict.

You want them to do good….but you always know they are going to fuck up. You would think you’d get burned out by the disappointment, but they always find a new way to…like hocking grandma’s pills or drafting an alcoholic 5ft 2in QB.

Does the Betty Ford Clinic do sport fan addictions?

I thought that was DFOcon in Vegas?

Oh goody, another commercial break

I wish that country singer guy would cold-cock Peyton. I might even order a Papa John’s pizza as a show of gratitude.

Following RiveBrog, Mueller, and Everton match thread is getting difficult. Vicuprofen should help!

Who do think gets indicted tomorrow? I’m playing the safe Flynn, Manafort exacta.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’m taking the Kushner longshot.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I hope you win.

Horatio Cornblower

“I’m taking the Kushner longshot.”

Ivanka Trump, commiserating with her mother just before her wedding night.

Spur

I’m placing the 1000-1 bet of Don Jr.

King Hippo

probably Manafort, but I want Jared to kill hisself SO MUCH

Horatio Cornblower

I think that’s the safe bet.

To get real crazy I’ll put $10 on Flynn rolling over on Trump while Manafort stays mum. Probably a loser but it’d be like putting $10 on Leicester City two years ago and walking away with $50K.

Wakezilla

WAY THE SHIT DIDN’T YOU RUN A PLAY ACTION AFTER RUNNING THE BALL 5 STRAIGHT TIMES UP THE MIDDLE YOU STUPID SHITS!

So I helped my sister move furniture into a cabin they brought in Utah by Bryce Canyon. There is one other cabin about a 70 yards uphill. The family appears to be those super wacky mormons. The Big Love ones with the long dresses for the girls. The kids all sat on the hill and watched us move all day,

If your sister wants to avoid ever speaking to them, be sure they see her outside sipping wine. She’ll be shunned forever.

Horatio Cornblower

Hell just go outside wearing shorts.

King Hippo

They’ll be taking pictures of your sister’s hands and feet in no time!

...

I’m still so genuinely horrified by the Ricketts/Cruz picture that I’m watching the Browns play to feel better.

Now that I live in “suburbs” am I obliged to find a Buffalo Wild Wings and go watch games there? Do I have to eat their shitty wings and drink light beer?

JustStopDude

I just watch the games on youtube. Literally every single NFL game is on youtube. You just need to find them.

Brocky

I’ve never enjoyed any bdubs sauce. Either too spicy or too bland. Even taking poor taste into account, i still don’t understand the appeal

...

In a lot of towns it’s the only sports bar that isn’t horrible.

herodotus450

Consistent if nothing else, usually conveniently located, and surprisingly clean in my experience.

...

Plus they tend to air MMA events and such making them a good place for viewing.

Wakezilla

Keenum doing a quick slant? Good thing Taylor broke up that play or else we’d have a racist gesture on the field

JustStopDude

So Goodell is amazed that 10k tickets were sold per game.

Did I hear that right?

litre_cola

40K I think

JustStopDude

That’s still a tiny number of tickets given the massive population.

I really cannot fathom how they actually think a full time NFL team could possibly succeed in England.

ballsofsteelandfury

The Chargers would like a word.

For a moment, I couldn’t tell which one is Ted Cruz.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Punch ’em both, just to be sure.

This is why God gave me two fists!

herodotus450

Easy: Ted Cruz on the left, The Penguin on the right.

Honestly, I have to renounce my Cubs fandom now. That or commit face-saving suicide.

Horatio Cornblower

This will explain it…

Those poor Brown players were told if they win they don’t have to go back to Cleveland. FAKE NEWS

Doktor Zymm

I mean, there’s a decent chance they’ll be moving to LA

theeWeeBabySeamus

I turn on the game and see the #Pauls doing good things.
I’m going back to bed.

Spur

The Browns are running! On the field for once!

JustStopDude

Well…that’s game.

Folks

Why the hell doesn’t the NFL sell standalone access to NFL Network?

Way to fumble, Darnell Jefferson.

A Browns RB fumbling at a crucial time!? Well I’ve certainly never seen that before!!

theeWeeBabySeamus

What time does the game start?
/might have overslept

Horatio Cornblower

I wouldn’t exactly call this a game.
