Your “It Looks Good… A Little Too Good” Monday Night Football Open Thread

NFL News:

  • Word broke over the weekend that Jerry Jones is leading a group of 17 owners “reviewing” Roger Goodell’s possible contract extension.
    • Which, of course, has nothing to do whatsoever, no sir, not one bit, with the upcoming Ezekiel Elliott suspension appeal appeal.
  • JESUS TAPDANCING CHRIST!
    • Zach Miller almost lost his leg as a result of his dislocated knee in the endzone, implying he tore or otherwise damaged the femoral artery during the injury.
      • They had to get a graft from his other leg to stabilize it.
    • To quote cbssports.com, “to make matters worse: Miller’s touchdown didn’t count. After an official review, the touchdown was overturned, which seems absurd considering there definitely didn’t appear to be irrefutable evidence.”
    • There is no goddamned way I am linking a gif or video of that here. It was gruesome.
  • The World Series outdrew Sunday Night Football in the TV ratings.
    • Well, duh – they had as much scoring, and more exciting plays.
      • Sunday Night Football had Al Michaels making Jerome Bettis references, and Cris Collinsworth shilling his interest in Pro Football Focus without admitting his connection on the broadcast.

Game Preview: Broncos at Chiefs

This game seems part of a plot by Andy Reid to ensure no one wins the AFC West. The quality of opponent the Chiefs have faced during their losing streak is an escalating pile of shit. The Steelers that beat the Chiefs two weeks ago are a much better team today, although only beating the Lions by 5 points could be a troubling sign. The Raiders appeared cromulent in beating the Chiefs during the two-hour final seconds last Thursday, but then turned in a turd against the Bills. Tonight’s opponent has had only two good quarterbacks in the last 10 years, Peyton Manning V.2 & Tim Tebow J.3:16. Future saviour Paxton Lynch is inactive tonight, in favour of Brock Osweiler. The Broncos only average 18 points per game, the 18th best scoring offence in the NFL.

By design, this game should be an easy walk for the Chiefs.

AND YET!

Tonight marks the return of Jamaal Charles to KC, albeit in a Broncos uniform, so his season-ending injury may not occur until after halftime. But before that happens, look for the Broncos to try & get him going and take advantage of his desire to exact some measure of revenge. Denver defence seems designed exactly to mess with Alex Smith’s mind, and Von Miller has sacked Smith 8 times since 2014.  So if the deep routes fail early look for him to revert to his previous title of the Checkdown King. Finally, Andy Reid is their head coach, so expect some quality timeout or time management fuckups issues at least once during the game.

It could either be a Chiefs 30-point blowout or a Broncos 2-point win. At least the NFL doesn’t have to worry about competing against baseball tonight.


Tonight’s sports:

  • NFL:
    • Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs – 8:15PM | ESPN / TSN
      • en espanol en ESPN2
  • MLS: Playoffs
    • New York Red Bulls vs. Toronto FC (Leg 1) – 7:00PM | FS1 / TSN3
    • Houston Dynamo vs. Portland Timbers (Leg 1) – 9:30PM | FS1 / TSN3
  • NHL:
    • Bruins at Blue Jackets – 7:00PM | Sportsnet
  • NBA:
    • Spurs at Celtics – 7:30PM | Sportsnet1
  • WWE:
    • Monday Night Raw – 8:00PM | USA / Sportsnet360
      • Let’s see who’s returned from the mumps!

I don’t know who bought MLB’s soul, but the based ball people have managed to put together two consecutive seasons of quality World Series’, and five not-bad ones total since 2012. (The Giants thumping the Tigers in 2012 was just awful; Verlander hasn’t forgotten.) Tonight’s NFL contest may make you long for another Astros-Dodgers game. HOW THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN?!

Never was an issue before, but OK.

Brocky

My laptop taking a dive certainly doesn’t help…

Senor Weaselo

Y’know, I asked myself that same question. And then I went back to playing Need for Speed on my phone.

theeWeeBabySeamus

No you hippies, not Hackysack.

Senor Weaselo

It was nice driving up the BQE underpass by the Brooklyn Bridge after rehearsal tonight, because then I also had that area at the waterfront, which I have multiple bittersweet memories of.

Today was the anniversary of the turkey drop episode of WKRP in Cincinatti.

The only major major I remember is catch 22, is that it?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Is that like a Corporal Captain?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Sorry…obscure M*A*S*H reference.

Senor Weaselo

That was the one! I thought about going name and title, but Major Major Major Wright would have been ridiculous.

I was beginning to wonder this myself, actually.

Senor Weaselo

Yes.

Senor Weaselo

Wait, did the before and after have to be both NFL players? Because it’s not that. That may help.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Much like at the Houston

    I think a lot of people are going to have their world shattered when today’s investigation ends in 2+years because everyone will plead down and the Feds are purposely narrowing their search for a reason.

    Unsurprised

    Those people deserve to be disappointed for ever hoping anything would come of it. It is, at its heart, exposing the ubiquity of corruption among this entire class of D.C. operatives like Manafort and the Podesta brothers.

    This Atlantic article CTH is discussing is depressing as fuck. It is literally, and I do mean literally, the Skinner meme:

    comment image

    Check this shit:

    But their negativity toward Republicans didn’t translate to rosy feelings for the Democrats, who, they said, too frequently ignored working-class people. And some of the blame, they said, fell on their fellow workers, many of whom supported Republicans against their own interests. “The membership”—the union rank-and-file—“voted for these Republicans because of them damn guns,” a Laborers Union official said. “You cannot push it out of their head. A lot of ‘em loved it when Walker kicked our ass.”

    Debriefing after this particular group, the Third Way listeners said they found the union men demoralizing. “I feel like they can’t see their way out,” Hale said.

    “They were very negative,” Paul Neaville, another researcher, concurred.

    They were so fixated on blaming Republicans, Hale fretted. “It was very us-and-them.”

    This is why the Democrats will lose forever.

    Wakezilla

    Yup.
