Your Sunday Night NFL Open Thread

Did you know that Jerome Bettis is still from Detroit and still played for the Steelers? He retired 12 years ago and somehow this always gets mentioned. It’s like he played basketball at Harvard for god’s sake. Now that’s something worth talking about! Let’s do a little rundown of a game between two teams that represent cities that the Manufacturing Sector Fairy (I call her ‘Stinkerbell’ because I’m mature like that) forgot about a long time ago. TO THE GAME!

Pit/Det: The Lions are coming off a bye but it’ll take a lot longer than two weeks to forget about the 52 points that the Saints hung on their sorry carcasses the last time they took the field. They started out 3-1 and the smell of burning tires had started to dissipate. And then, BANG! That sumbitch ‘History’ reared her goldarn head and just like that they’re sitting ugly at 3-3. Contrary to what you might think when you read these game intros, I try to do a wee bit of homework on each team. Who’da thunk that? Anyway, the stat that has floored me is that the Steelers haven’t allowed an opposing wide receiver more than 61 yards so far this season. That’s…impressive. The only wideout more upset with the Steelers and the way they play is their very own Martavis “The Cranky Bear” Bryant. This circumstance has resulted in the promotion of Justin “Time” Hunter. But we all know that Antonio “What Can” Brown “Do For You”* will once again be the feature of the passing game.

Get after it.

I’m intrigued by the premise of Gerald’s Game (Carla Gugino and her husband decide to try sex play, so he ties her to the bed, but then dies on her, and she has to get free.), but at the same time … is it worth it? The premise seems to be the selling point, not the execution.

Two words: Carla Gugino

Wakezilla

/opens new tab, goes on social media site, sees Kevin Spacey trending. . .

Oh. . . oh god

Mr. Ayo

Those Hollywood folks get around

Unsurprised

I wonder if he’s going to drag Bryan Singer down with him.

It’s also weird as Hell to see more and more people saying “Corey Feldman was right.”

Viva La Tabula Raza

Curious to see if the local Fox affiliate will go to their news. Hey y’all, it’s 1 AM, your target demographic has been in bed for 3 hours.

Senor Weaselo

So LA To Vegas… 2 episodes or half an episode?

Wakezilla

Final seemed more like a softball score

I need to find a copy of the documentary they made. Did anyone here watch it last week?

The only thing missing is news that Joe Buck has sadly lost his voice & wont be able to cover the rest of the Series.

Wakezilla

Came close when he got hair extensions. Maybe the penis extension will finish him off?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

All right, bedtime. Good night, all.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

That was one hell of a game.

montythisseemsstrangetome

Let’s ruin it by showing Ken Rosenthal.

WCS

Going to be on ESPN Classic until Trump starts WWIII, so you’ve got at least two weeks to see it again.

Beerguyrob

Y’know, I’m comfortable with the Astros winning.

montythisseemsstrangetome

Somehow the Patriots will still win it.

Wakezilla

Same. I like their uniforms and they’re a pretty fun team. Sports Illustrated must be hoping they’ll win so they can have Springer holding the issue where they declare he’d win it this year.

Wakezilla

Wooo! #HoustonStrong baby! . . . Please stop showing their fans before I start rooting for the Dodgers, thanks. Unless it’s her

I love you Houston 3b coach. Thank you , and good night.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Yowza!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Um…Astros? This is only Game 5.

Mr. Ayo

But, they only have to go .500 from here to win!

theeWeeBabySeamus

They’re not the 500s fo’ nuthin’!!!!!

Viva La Tabula Raza

I think they’re just happy that they can go get some sleep. I know I am.

King Hippo

games 6 and 7 will be fun, with a borken setup guy AND closer, Dave

Unsurprised

I’ve watched two entire movies since I rejoined you all while you’ve been watching this game. I should watch The Right Stuff and see which ends first (it’s 3 hours long), but instead I’m now watching Coming to America.

montythisseemsstrangetome

So what, we’ve watched two entire baseball games.

Wakezilla

That amount of drunken/tipsy productivity done while this game was on was ASTROnomically high. I even got to tune in right before they won.

montythisseemsstrangetome

I want this game to end on Catcher’s Interference.

Senor Weaselo

Jacoby Ellsbury isn’t playing or else somehow it would.

Beerguyrob

Walk off walk!

WCS

Balk.

King Hippo

FOUL

Unsurprised
Mr. Ayo

For every fan baseball gained from the first nine innings, they’re losing double that with each extra inning.

King Hippo

Until Chase Utley has to pitch.

I count three balls, one strike.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I love the HP Ump’s reaction. Da Fuq????

theeWeeBabySeamus

MY BAD!!!!!

montythisseemsstrangetome

Is this the Monday Night Football open thread?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Just wait four more innings and it will be.

THIS UMPIRE I CALL HIM ROY MUNSON BEFORE HE GOT HIS HAND CUT OFF CAUSE EVERYTHING IS A STRIKE.

montythisseemsstrangetome

Next Astros pitcher: JR Richard

Re: Justin Turner…who thinks the carpet matches the drapes?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

He’s waxed.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

He lives in LA, odds are it’s tile.

montythisseemsstrangetome

Who thinks there’s a whole family living in that beard?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Jor El is pretty good. Dodgers should bring Darvish in to face him if he comes up again. That would be funny to me.
