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.

So, Game 5 is going to have a 17-16 final score in 14 innings?

montythisseemsstrangetome

I think it should end 20-15 like SNF.

King Hippo

seems only fair

Redshirt

I’m thinking 18-17 in 22. This has the makings of a marathon.

Col. Duke LaCross

If it somehow ends up 18-15 I’ll win four hundred bucks.

Senor Weaselo

Never mind, this game might end.

ballsofsteelandfury

This is why I love you people.

theeWeeBabySeamus

You mean it’s not our delightful charm and gigantic penises?

Brick Meathook

Is there no end to this game?

montythisseemsstrangetome

WILL THIS GAME EVER END?

theeWeeBabySeamus

This game will never end.
(sorry I felt left out)

Senor Weaselo

Plot twist: This game will never end.

ballsofsteelandfury

This based ball game is never going to end.

Redshirt

At this rate, Game 5 will never end.

ballsofsteelandfury

Great minds.

King Hippo

CF makes up for boo boo

Doktor Zymm

Huh, it’s so weird having SNF end before bedtime. This whole “West Coast” thing is weird

theeWeeBabySeamus

It’s awesome. You’ll love it.

Brick Meathook

Now you’ll get to see the local post-game show.

montythisseemsstrangetome

And she gets to see 60 Minutes at its regularly scheduled time!

ballsofsteelandfury

Is she that old??

montythisseemsstrangetome

Did you move? Thought you were D.C. based.

ballsofsteelandfury

She has, despite our warnings, become a Northern Californian.

Unsurprised

Now you have time for a proper masturbation session before bedtime so that you don’t go to bed wanting to kill yourself because tomorrow is Monday.

What?

King Hippo

CF make boo boo

montythisseemsstrangetome

Justin Turner is not easy on the eyes.

theeWeeBabySeamus

He saves a lot on razors tho. So he’s got that going for him.

King Hippo

but gives it back on delousing shampoo

montythisseemsstrangetome

We hope.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hehehehehehehe

Unsurprised

Brie Larson has a nice ass. I appreciate that shot.

theeWeeBabySeamus

So does Bree Olson!!!

Didn’t he give her HIV?

ballsofsteelandfury

Wasn’t it the other way around?

theeWeeBabySeamus

I’m guessing it was an even trade.

ballsofsteelandfury

Actually, I just checked and it seems she doesn’t have it.

theeWeeBabySeamus

/googles Bree Olson home address

Unsurprised

He seems like the kind of person who would do that, being a crazy cokehead with delusions of grandeur and tons of enablers and all, and so I assume every thing that he touches turns to shit.

You get ejected for that?! If you gonna get ejected, at least get your money’s worth!

Why don’t more games end in fights?

THAT’S SOME GREAT OFFICIATING, CRIS

Unsurprised

Where’d you find that photo of me from high school?

Wakezilla

It’s Billy Bob!

Brick Meathook

You just know this guy has some goofy ass nickname.

Unsurprised

Fat Fuck is a nickname

Brick Meathook

But it’s not goofy ass. I’m leaning more towards “Bobo”

King Hippo
Unsurprised

I’m projecting. I gained 100 pounds basically between sophomore and junior year that I still carry 20 years later.

Wakezilla

Is this decision making common for Fat Stafford? Because Xenu almighty, he makes a lot of terrible decisions

Redshirt

I’m in Hell. I hate the Steelers and they win and earn the admiration of the nation. At least I don’t have a devil giving me the business end of a pitchfork, but they might be saving that for the 9th Super Bowl Championship Celebration.

Wakezilla

Who was Cris describing as Presidential. Because if it was Ben, that’d be rather fitting giving who is in office and H.W., among others like Clinton and JFK

Redshirt

HW has dementia, so he has a loophole.

Also, I must strongly suggest you review your post for an unfortunate typo.

theeWeeBabySeamus

LOL, agreed.
On the typo, that is.

Redshirt

Yeah, thank you South Park for teaching me that word.

Also, I suspect he has dementia or some age-related mental disorder. My grandfather got it near the end and it lowers the inhibitions. Think of it as being drunk only a lot worse and your stuck in your body not knowing your doing it.

Gratliff

It’s just a typo. No need to psychoanalyze the man.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yeah, it’s not fun for sure.

Gratliff

This open thread became a subreddit so quickly I hardly noticed

Doktor Zymm

Did someone tell the Lions that the End Zone is made of Lava?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Ooooh, 2 minute warning and I’m all atwitter as to how this will end.
(honestly don’t care as long as DET defense doesn’t find a way to score moar pts)

King Hippo

oh, are you idiots serious?

Wakezilla

Stop wasting time, you’re likely kicking 3

King Hippo

FG #6?

King Hippo

that was weak defensing there, Yinzburgh

Unsurprised

Free Fire is an insane movie.

Wakezilla

TJ better get chewed out by JJ because that glory boy missed shoulder tackle was some single A high school bullshit

King Hippo

ok, assdicks, don’t give Yinzer D any more points

Spur

I have two more gulps of my drink left. Goodnight you Kings and Queens of DFO. I’m off to dream of sealed indictments.

litre_cola

Later Tex.

Senor Weaselo

The Farmhouse King? That might kill someone.

Mr. Ayo

That’s right in my wheelhouse. I MUST HAVE IT

WCS

Andy Reid had four for lunch and he’s fine.

montythisseemsstrangetome

Having “Presidential” qualities is not a compliment in 2017, Cris.

Romonobyl

Romo Jr. just got home from some hoodlum young adult-themed concert in San Antonio, gonna watch the rest of the World Series together. See ya on teh flip side.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Enjoy.
Also, check his pockets.

We now have no excuse why we’re not football players.

litre_cola

I am tall, meagre and slow.

Unsurprised

I’m fatter than him.

WCS

I see Jared Lorenzen went back to school. Good for him.

Gratliff

Man, it’s hard to focus on these games when I’m all hyped for tomorrow’s arrest of a first year WH intern who will be blamed for 100% of everything that’s taken place in the last 2 years

Redshirt

I’m just waiting for Trump to pardon everyone and himself. That may be the spark that ignites this powder keg.

Unsurprised

No, it won’t. Nothing will. He’s getting re-elected in 2020, and in 2024 we’ll have someone smarter and more evil than him succeed him.

theeWeeBabySeamus

The 22nd constitutional amendment would like a word.
(EDIT – never mind, I misread your comment)

Unsurprised

How so?

theeWeeBabySeamus

I’ve edited in case you haven’t refreshed the page.
I misread, thought you had said re-election in ’20 and ’24.

Unsurprised

Ah. I added a comma to clear that up, although it should probably be a new sentence. Maybe a semicolon would suffice.

montythisseemsstrangetome

Artie Burns sounds like a 90 year old Vaudevillian comedian.

(thinking) “This game is kind of close. Maybe the Lions will hold onto this one.”

(thinking) “You’d think I learn by now.”

Doktor Zymm

This is a good football game, but I’m getting distracted by this : http://www.extracrispy.com/culture/456/eating-breakfast-like-hunter-s-thompson-is-a-terrible-idea

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Particularly on his final day, when the menu consisted of a single bullet.

Doktor Zymm

I feel like he probably still had a grapefruit first

Brick Meathook

I respect his final decision given the ailments he had and all, but blowing your brains out in the kitchen is just bad form. People still have to use that kitchen. Take it outside, please.

theeWeeBabySeamus

If I can’t steal pills from Hippo’s house when the time comes, a bullet outside is my plan.
Brains don’t come off the ceiling easily.

Senor Weaselo

Doing many things like Hunter S. Thompson is a terrible idea.

WCS

That’s bad Juju.

herodotus450

Baseball teams both have the same R H E: 7 6 1… does this qualify as WEIRD?

WCS

MAYBE

montythisseemsstrangetome

Pi. DO SOMETHING CONGRESS

litre_cola

Maybe if it was at the college world series

Mr. Ayo

They must be in Wichita

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

[throws up shocker gesture]

[gets slapped by wife]

Shogun Marcus

I had True Dreams of Witchita once!

Senor Weaselo

It depends. Is the game in Wichita?

Gratliff

I believe that qualifies as a false flag

Spur

baseball is getting fun.

WCS

Dirt Oilers back from ded again.

Mr. Ayo

World Series is so much better when the best team from each league is involved.

Romonobyl

Doesn’t happen often.

Mr. Ayo

It’s almost like the playoffs aren’t the ideal way to determine a champion.

Dunstan

Absolutely. Big win over the Calgary Stampeders tonight.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

This baseball game is bananas.

Shogun Marcus

B-a-n-a-n-a-s?

You might owe Gwen Stefani some dough now….
