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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Well, duh – they had as much scoring, and more exciting plays.
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.

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?!
That… clearly looked like WRs blocking before a forward pass.
Okay, I’d better hit the road. Catch you all on the Papadapoulos* side, dudes.

Ok, pants are off, NOW I’m officially DFO present
Aren’t you at a bar in LA?
What’s your point?
(And no, none of the locals were around so I went right to the hotel. Currently trying to decide if I’m going to cross town for a cheap ass poker night)
Where in LA you be at?
if it’s a “transitional” area, be a dear and get Hippo some black tar
Right meow? West side.
can one of you shitasses at least defenestrate Kelce?
I mean, he DID drop his head…
And the ball.
I hope he was beaten with bars of soap wrapped in towels after the game for this fuckery.
oh goodie, 5 FG Lions and the sub-5 YPA Packers next Monday. Yinz get to see a starting QB worse than Siemian!
I assume they had to make it a puppet show of some varietal?

Vice’s daily news thing had a fun one on Wolfenstein II. Turns out the black chick in the game is the one from Mad TV, and her and the marketing dude’s general “FUCK A NAZI” approach to life is correct and good.

Wow, don’t see the Chiefs catching breaks like that very often…
HAI, fellow bitter AFC West buddy
Well, that’s probably ungood if you’re a Donks fan.
it is, but at least I left in the Chefs defense in fantasy
Once a Chef always a Chef.
tough, but fair
Did they run that Applebee’s “Hungry Eyes” on the stadium video feed too? Cause I feel like it’s kind of unfair to try to distract Andy Reid like that.
Thanks, I didn’t want to sleep for a week, anyway.
They won’t run the Chili’s “I want my baby-back ribs!” jingle anymore, for just that reason.
Hot Teak….if the punt receiver does a fair catch and then tries to run it like that, it should be a 15 yard penalty.
In college it is. Well, it’s a ten-yard penalty.
It should be nothing – defensive players getting to tee off on him is reward enough.
Given the size of the players, I think the risk of injury is unnecessary.
Weak ass fair catch signals make me so mad. I think it should be reversed and fair catches should be the default. Then if the tackler misses the signal no one gets killed, and if the ref misses the signal, there’s a penalty.
So…is Tim Tebow available?
He’s in a monogamous relationship with the lord, I believe.
Side hugs only
KHunt wasn’t big enough to pull that one in.
After that return, net 7 yard difference on that punt. I’ve seen Andy Reid swallow animals longer than that.
That was one weak holding penalty.
Three days of chili for dinner is finally catching up to my gastrointestinal tract. These smells could be weaponized and sold on the dark web.

Forty seconds in and we’ve got our first punt.
welcome to the Denver game. Keep your hands inside the car at all times.
hey, 3 and out, haven’t seen that since ALL THE GODDAMNED TIME
Pacific time doesn’t fit. I am not ready for the foosball yet.
Are all my rowdy (internet) friends here for Monday night?
can one be rowdy, yet still an imaginary recluse?
If so, aye
[shrugs shoulders while laying on a couch in his pj’s]
“Sure. Why not?”
I got maced…
Oxypug is ready! I am fairly passive, not rowdy.
Present!
In a perfect world, I’d prefer not to drink hard on a Monday night, yet here we are.
Garpopoppalo got traded to the Fightin Tomsulas?
if it’s on the internet, it must be true.
Oh Lawd…please let it be true…
I got a notification on my phone from ESPN saying he’s been traded. So I guess it is.
I follow shefter on teh twitter and he broke it. He usually isnt wrong.
Pats-fan spouse (he’s self-aware, so he’s OK) points out that the Pats are now in need of a backup QB, as all they have is Dreamboat. Now, where would you find an experienced Superb Owl QB these days? Hmm…
As pointed out by others above, as well.
/you’re still approved, even with P*ts by association!
//tell spousal unit we sez HAI
More like the Nappin Tomsulas.
(Breaks out into cold sweat)
Does this set up the Pats signing Kap, then “rehabilitating” him using the Patriots Way?
I for one am looking forward to New & Improved Flag-Loving Patriot Colin
Fuck that movie is so fucking awesome on so many levels. Amazing cast and writing.
Colin, you’ve made a Great Leap Forward today, but it will take a Cultural Revolution before you can play in the nfl again.
That would be the ultimate fuck you
Evening folks. So I started a new group of people getting training. One of the people is internally one of our sales guys. So he took us all out for diner. While I appreciate a free meal as much as anyone, we are all grunts. No one in the group of customers handle sales. Its all electricians so it doesn’t make any sense to wine and dine these guys.
On top of this, I got like 8 hours of standing there and talking in the morning. I don’t want a full meal. Well of course, sales guy takes us out for steaks and drinks. He gives me shit because I am only drinking water. I hate drinking with people I don’t know, especially customers. Then even worse, our US and our Japanese CEO shows up with customers…so they join us as well. So a dinner of 7, turns into a diner of 12.
I ended up sort of sneaking out with the actually truthful argument that I needed to get home for some sleep and prep for the next day of training. Come tomorrow, the customers are going to show up late, hung over as fuck, and then I have to basically go slow as shit for the rest of the training while they nurse their hangovers.
I fucking hate dealing with sales people.
Same here, the mindset it takes to be a salesperson, I find so alien and basically disgusting. At a previous job we referred to them as “cheese weasels”, not sure where that came from, but I still find it amusing.
I really don’t get his logic of trying to get everyone shit faced drunk on the first day of class. The last day…okay. But if you are going to do that, make sure everyone has a ride home and shit.
If these guys get into accidents or whatever, they are fucked. And granted, they are adults, but its like ….what the fuck man?
Some of the sales people, I think they think we were on the set of Mad Men.
Sales work is the natural end game for those extremely social folks in high school and college who lack any other discernible skills.

You guys are about the most level-headed group that I have access to on the intraweb. What is your rational take on these indictments?
Mueller is a level-headed professional taking a solid opening flurry.
I thought hte Popadopolous plea had some possible hints where it mentions three or four people by titles like Senior Campaing Officer, High Level Campaign Official, etc. Seems like whoever they are will be the ultimate targets, I’m not optimistic enough to think it will ever reach trump.
You can only be pardoned post-conviction/plea.
Not true. For example, Nixon had not even been charged with any crime (he was an unindicted co-conspirator) when Ford pardoned him.
If I may encroach on Redshirt’s turf,
That they probably are not the silver bullet people that takes down Trump that people want them to be.
I mean, Trump and everyone in his orbit are horrible, dirty people who have undoubtedly committed crimes, but I don’t think any of them are anything more than petty grifters as opposed to members of a vast international conspiracy.
They don’t matter, won’t change anything.

I keep thinking I should try CBD oil, but I have no clue where to begin.
Well are you in a state where it is legal?
Hell yeah, Oregon.
Then definitely do it if you are in any pain. I vape with cbd weed when my back pain acts up. I keep some thc stuff around because I like to get stoned too but CBD oil would be perfect if you are in pain.
everybody ready FOAR a group “MANGO!!!” then “NAVY!!!!!” chant?? Where are Moose and snow?
Getting high, I assume.
yeah, I will hit the pills once I am certain I ain’t gonna puke my giant bowl of #ShameIcedCream
ANTIFA FURBY, BABY!
Soylent green can’t come soon enough
Or Logan’s Run.
Furby is so old that I figured it’s the only thing Fox News’s dementia-ridden viewers do remember.
This was up when the Manafort indictment was front page everywhere else.
It’s important to report the REEL NEWS.
I <3 Andy Reid
I’m here for the antifa supersoldiers and egregious Andy Reid timeouts
Also disappointed at the lack of Rick & Forty ‘shops going around.
Or for the high-flying, aerial acrobatics.
(I still wish I omitted the “my,” but I’ll be damned if I go through the effort to remake this.)
I’m here to hope one of these teams is actually coached by a hybrid of Krang and Craig T. Nelson’s character from Coach.
That guy has a Hell of a Twitter feed.

What the shit?
He got reported for the blatant joke until he was permabanned. #FreeKrang

They’ll find new ways to suck.
Unfortunately unable to ignore his tweets today while reading the indictment stories, I saw one that was basically, “Hey, those crimes Manafort committed were before he joined my campaign, so why don’t we just let him go.”
Also unfortunate that most of the russian spam bots who support him are incapable of detecting the irony/logical fallacy therein.
Hey, it’s that tweet I was talking about, right there in that there story.
I just realized the name of the teen actor Kevin Spacey molested sounded familiar because he was the blonde guy with glasses in Dazed and Confused.
Reading on PFT how the World Series outdrew Sunday Night football reminded me of every smug post Florio would make about the obvious superiority of football to baseball as evidenced by Nielsen ratings.
Also, PFT comments remain, as they’ve always been, a total fucking toilet with turds as oily as Florio’s hair.
Maybe this is why I stopped finding PFT Commenter funny. Too many people believe this and even dumber shit, and thinking about it is just sad.

What if I told you pee was stored in the balls?
Balls from LA?
Fuck the NFL.
Every time I watched this match-up, the Chefs somehow won. So a preemptive “Congrats” to Andy Reid, who totally deserves all the bison ribs he can eat for tonight’s victory even though his QB is Alex Smith and he’s Andy Fucking Reid.
I should be going to the Timbers game or something. I’m a loser.
Gubmint going after Papadopoulos? What did Big Bird’s friend ever do to them?
I hate to break the news, but he molested Webster.
Evening, escaped a hangover today after being day wasted yesterday. Huzzah!
Huzzah, indeed.
Check this out – Mueller asked for (and got) the court to grant a waiver of Manafort’s attorney-client privilege:
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DNai1B7VoAAB0vV?format=jpg
Dude, they fucking pierced privilege. Mueller is NOT fucking around.
Oh, shit. It’s all fun and games until the lawyers get indicted; then it’s just fun.
Big news with the indictments of Manafort and Papadopolu-, Pappapoda-; just Manafort.
I got a coworker in the office named Nagarash. I used to use this line all the time with him.
One day we got drunk and crashed at my place. I played the movie and he started laughing.
Then “Wait…do you know if i am fired?!?!”
Tonight’s NFL contest may make you long for another Astros-Dodgers game. HOW THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN?!
Simple: Roger Goodell is a national disgrace.
Ppl forget that,,,
WAIT?? I thought nobody would watch el beisbol if the SAWX, Yankees, and/or Small Bears weren’t playing?? Compelling fixtures between the two best (and generally likable) sides makes for good teevee regardless of narrative?? WOW, colour me shocked.
And I typed my Hippo Thoughts bit about the Jerome Bettis jokes before the broadcast even began. Yes, Cris and Al, you are that goddamned predictable and lame.
I still can’t ever hear Bettis’ name without thinking of the local tv commercials he did (in PA, I lived there for part of his career in Yinzburgh) for public transportation.
“Everybody is getting on the bus”.
I’m not making this up.
