Your “What else is on?” Monday Night Football Preview and Open Thread

Seriously, when I looked at yesterday’s schedule, there was not one game that I was interested in watching. Steelers-Clots wasn’t even available in LA. We were instead given the merde-pourri of Vikings-Redacteds, Cowboys-Falcons, RAMMIT-Texans, and Shitty Clippers-Jaguras.  And then on Sunday night, we were given Pats-Broncos?  Yeah Right.  Now that I think about it, I think he was the only one happy yesterday.

So, to Roger Goodell I say:

My favorite NASCAR driver, Kyle Busch, was already safely in the final four for Homestead, so the Phoenix race held no special appeal and it ended up being a blissful day without sports.  It’s a beautiful world out there, folks.

And now we have this rancid cream cheese frosting as the topper of the shitcake that was NFL Week 10:  Dolphins at Panthers.

If I wanted to see a cat beaten to submission by a bunch of other cats, I’d go to Woodrocket.com.  As it is, we are going to have Cutler struggling to stay upright while the Panthers’ defence dials up blitz after blitz. The Miami D has been quite decent, which means that this may be a low-scoring game in which the outcome is never in doubt.  Ugh.

Let’s see, what else is on?

Is Lucifer any good?

What about Supergirl?

Nah, I think we’re better off sticking to the tried and true Monday Night RAW:

If you are actually going to subject yourself to this torture of an NFL game, at least have a drink and raise it to Beerguyrob’s ass.  Not literally.

Also, I’m willing to bet you that this gif that Moose posted on Saturday night captivates your attention more than this game will:

Ok, I’ve tried my best to dissuade you from watching.  Have at it you addicts!

Going on a cruise with inlaws starting Saturday. I am on the drink package. We are also stopping in Jamaica. So, kind of a win.

Cromarties Innumerous Basterds

Still not enough booze for me to vacation with my in laws

jjfozz

IT won’t be pleasant. My mother in law told my sister in law this past summer that I ignore my children and have a bad attitude. I can blow off most shit, but that was impossible to ignore. What’s worse, she likes to blame my boys for everything – because they’re boys and not fat little twat pussy bitches like her other grandson.

Doktor Zymm

Maybe she gets seasick!

Cromarties Innumerous Basterds

Oh man, fuck that noise.

It’s dark, cold and rainy here in CT and after 5 minutes of this game I’ve decided to take the dog for a walk.

In this edition of “Left Coast time is weird” I totally thought MNF started now, instead of an hour ago. So early!

Doktor Zymm

Huh. Looks like I didn’t miss much.

“He really enjoys playing the game.” Well who in the fucking fuck wouldn’t enjoy it? It beats stocking shelves at Staples while managing to not get your colostomy bag hooked on a pallet jack and being dragged down the aisle.

What kind of Staples do the have in Baltimore?

The kind that are burned out and looted.

I think players have to be desperate or insane to put up with playing in the NFL.

The sport fucking kills your brain. The fact that it elevates the risk for ALS by like 500% compared to the general population is terrifying.

Add in having to deal with the fans and sports “media” (which is now to the point of just twitter trolling with locker room access), I can think of plenty of jobs I would rather do.

They don’t even make that much money compared to the amount of work, the physical and mental damage it does.

WOO!!! Just won my sim-based el beisbol World Series! Chris Devenski (Game 4 starter) came in tired to strike out the last batter of Game 7 with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th, 3-2 lead.

It was 3-1 when I intentionally walked Trea Turner (bases loaded) before bringing in Devenski to face CJ Cron (he was out of pinch hitters, save MadBum).

Hey, fucker had .980 OPS v. RHP and I was out of eligible LHRP. My gut said “don’t let Trea Turner beat you” and goddamnit he didn’t!

I just saw a commercial for a new TV comedy starring Russell Peters as a detective. It’s titled, creatively, “Indian Detective”.

1) Whatever happened to Russell Peters’ career in the first place?
2) This appears to be essentially just the Pink Panther transplanted to Toronto/Mumbai. I thought that was played out like 35 years ago, but what do I know about taste these days?

I wonder if they’ll have a snappy group dance number in each episode.

Ndamakong Suh is “prone to penalties”? You don’t say…

Like Kevin Spacey, Ndamukong Suh has become notorious for pursuing men in an often inappropriate fashion.

Out of all active QB’s…Cam Newton gets the most bullshit hot teaks his way right?

I am basing this on the fact that Kaep is too uppity to get a job with his outrageous stance against extra-judicial killings by the police.

So I have off this week. I don’t have to be back to the office until the week after Thanksgiving. I struggle to get time off during the year, and it never fails, I end up with like 30 days of PTO to burn.

I get a call from HR that I have to come in at 130. I ask for what…HR just says to show up.

Its for a 2 hour work place violence training. So on my day off, I have to sit in a room with a bunch of red necks, while a cop makes me relive some of my traumatic memories from the military, and of course a Q&A which consists of the weird people I work with posing questions that are basically bitch comments to HR that they aren’t allowed to carry in the office.

I’ve worked in about 80 countries in the world. Never have I had to get the “SERPENTINE!” active shooter training except for when I am working in the states.

blaxabbath

Surprised you can’t just be all “this is triggering my PTSD, can I just get the written version to take home?”

Gratliff

One day, some mother fucker is gonna say “lol triggered” near me in public and I’m gonna be dragged off in cuffs, but somehow still holding his fucking skull in my hands.

JustStopDude

Its not necessarily talking about a work place shooting that tends to send me off because I guess I never experienced that. But in six years in the navy, I had a roommate shotgun himself, and two junior guys in my division killing themselves with handguns.

I ended up being the person that discovered all three of them.

The thing that sets me off are the folks that have guns who seem to think that hunting a deer is the same as being in an active shooting environment with people running around screaming or that cleaning a deer means they can handle seeing a dead body.

To me, PTSD is like head trauma. Some people can bounce back from getting their bell rung like its nothing. Others are broken the first time it happens. Others still, its like they are fine for years and then suddenly they can’t remember where their keys are or why they aren’t wearing pants.

I am in the latter grouping, both with concussions and PTSD.

blaxabbath

It doesn’t even have to be legit. If your company cares enough about HR shit to have a specific HR employee and call you in on off days for training, I’d expect them to be ‘woke’ enough to let you just go, “Nope! Triggered!” and they know it’s best to just leave you alone on the matter.

Hope y’all are drinking lots. Weaselo and I need to get our birthdaying tonight, apparently.

Senor Weaselo

I had Atomic Wings and a beer for lunch with the parentals, and am at my grandparents’ because I’m assuming there’s cake. If not, the newest iteration of Not-Senorita Weaselo (beaten to the punch but the guy stood her up twice in one week so if I️ bide my time could end up working in my favor if nobody else snatches me up and nobody will) told me to shake my fist to the sky or threaten the fridge.

theeWeeBabySeamus

No one told me there would be cake. Dammit I could have made it there in time if I’d started driving earlier.

blaxabbath

So no.

Honest question:
When or what is the difference between Parity and Mediocrity? Especially with this league of footed ball sprots?

litre_cola

It is there in futbol. Parity in the top of the tables, mediocrity at the bottom which is why relegation is awesome. In the NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE it is built for parity but breeds mediocrity but it is my heroin, so put in my veins please.

herodotus450

It’s parity when everyone sucks but tv ratings go up.

deviantBastard

Hmm….good question. This is all I could come up with:

Parity – Rams (new coach, same QB/talent, winning record)

Mediocrity: See Browns

Anthony In TX

There’s a fine line, I think. Parity means no dynasties, where free agency has allowed teams to better restock their teams yearly. Mediocrity is more about the product on the field. One isn’t necessarily connected to the other, as they’re kind of front office vs. player personnel. But that’s just my opinion.

JustStopDude

The only factor “not equal” in the league are the owners. If you want true parity, Bottom five teams each year must be sold to new ownership.

Also allow the teams to just move wherever the fuck they want.

PURE CHAOS!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

That’s a pretty nice deadlift, DoJu! Showing off that kind of strength in the yard will keep the sisters off your back for sure!

Viva La Tabula Raza

Current events quiz: Is this a parody or real?

MONTGOMERY, AL—Waving off the current allegations against him as vicious attempts to sabotage his election bid, Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore told reporters Monday that the women accusing him of pedophilia were only doing so now because “shifting sociocultural norms have created an environment in which assault allegations are taken seriously.” “These women have had 30 years to come forward, and the one and only reason they’re speaking out now is because they suddenly have less fear that their lives will be utterly destroyed,” said Moore, adding that the women accusing him of sexually pursuing them as teenagers were just several of many “jumping on the sexual assault bandwagon these days” in light of meaningful systemic change and the fact that society would no longer immediately discredit them. “My accusers are nothing but slandering opportunists taking advantage of the deteriorating influence of the patriarchy that has traditionally silenced any woman who makes such claims. If the American public at large had not finally begun truly hearing victims and decided that enough was enough, I guarantee that these women would never have had the audacity to accuse me of such heinous crimes.” Moore went on to say that he would nevertheless continue his run for the Senate despite the charges against him because while the norms had shifted, they had not shifted nearly as much in Alabama.

I swear I have to look up at the web address nowadays to make sure whether I’m on the Onion or a “real” website.

deviantBastard

He also said he’d sue. I don’t remember if he was going sue WaPo, the accusers or both.

Anthony In TX

I think his wife was gonna sue WaPo on his behalf or something? God only knows. It’s so hard to keep up with all the fuckheads these days.

We’re in Bizzaroworld. Back on normal Earth, Hillary’s President, and things are pretty much the way they were (Congressional gridlock, N. Korean saber-rattling, racists are more or less still in the woodwork, etc.).

By all accounts it was a good goal, but his leadership could use some work. He’s still a little raw on the inside.

So I just dented the fuck out of my 6 month old leased SUV. How’s your day so far?

Viva La Tabula Raza

My car broke down and was supposed to be ready tomorrow, but they called and said it was done today. Maybe I inadvertently hijacked some good luck that was intended for you ($1400 repair bill though, so maybe not).

Gratliff

One thing I learned last year after somebody clipped me is that body work prices are a fucking scam. Shit head slowly backed into the middle of my 15 year old grand prix which would cease this mortal coil shortly after and did minor cosmetic damage and they just handed me a check for $2500. I assume this is the other foot falling.

herodotus450

Was looking at cars, used, from a dealership and the one I eventually got at some scratches on the bumper that I said I wanted fixed befor buying it. Apparently it was cheaper (for them at least) to just put a new bumper on it than to bother fixing some scratches. (Makes sense I guess, sanding and priming and painting and painting and sanding takes time and skill.)

Petronel

It’s somewhat unusual, IIRC, to see DII football show up on “You Got Mossed”, and it was very unusual indeed to see my institution’s team on the highlight. I had to double-check their schedule to make sure it was really them. (Yeah, I don’t follow the team much…)

I mentioned to a few of you fellas that myself and my son saw The War On Drugs at Massey Hall a little while ago. Video-wise “Under The Pressure” is a fantastic, well-constructed song.
