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!

Balls somehow lost his bio and didn't realize it. He's now scrambling to write something clever and failing. He likes butts, boobs, most things that start with the letter B, and writing in the Second Person. Geelong, Toluca, Barcelona, and Steelers, in that order.

A friend of mine does as well. He got it to cover up another tattoo dedicated to his ex-wife.

Never, ever, get a tattoo related to a significant other. Kiss of death.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

So based on my theory that the NFL is rigged to the same degree as professional wrestling, I’m hoping the league office tells the Patriots to lie down against my Raiders in order to…I don’t know, make the battle for home field advantage in the AFC more interesting?

Viva La Tabula Raza

The Raiders (or NFL?) are distributing laser pointers to all self-proclaimed Raider-fan ticket buyers for next week’s game. Brady is going to have to wear grade 11 welding goggles out there.

Since the start of September, I’ve gone from doing 5 miles in 20 minutes every other day on an elliptical to doing 9 miles in 33ish every other day a month ago, to doing 6 miles a day in about 19 mins now. After 3 weeks of the daily grind, It somehow still feels like misery and I don’t know that I care that it’s making me feel healthier. I hate it so much if it broke, I’d probably find god again.

Wakezilla

What’s the average speed/per hour to do that?

Gratliff

Usually it’s just under 19 mph, but I keep the resistance fairly high. If it’s too low it feels like I’m moving through nothing and aggravates me.

Horatio Cornblower

9 miles in 33 minutes is “Kenyan on Meth” speed my friend.

Gratliff

Well, no. Not when you factor in that I’m on an elliptical and up the resistance to near max and turn it into a virtual strength exercise.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Exercise makes you die more slowly while making it feel like you’re dying right away.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Yeah, I’d been riding the recumbent bike a little (not a euphemism) but that ain’t running. And coming back to altitude after a week at sea level didnt help.

Wakezilla

Does that mean you were under the sea?

With Ben Affleck’s allegations, Gal Gadot’s militaristic past and now Zack Snyder’s Amazon warriors’ costumes, can we just reboot and pretend none of this stuff happened. Like, pay the actors and everything, and we all agree to never speak of this era again.

Can we just stop making superhero movies? I would get on board with that!

Also, the revenge murder films. Kill off those two genres for a while and I would be REALLY happy.

Guess NE doesn’t have to worry about a late-season challenge from Miami for the AFC East.

Wakezilla

They never did.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Announcers earlier tonight: “Well if Miami wins tonight they’ll be 5-4 and tied with Buffalo for second in the division, only two games behind NE!” But I agree with you.

Wakezilla

It’s absolutely amazing. I think it’s kind of cool that they didn’t qualify for the sake of diversity. Serves them right for not selecting Giovinco, arguably the best free kicker in the world because he doesn’t play in Italy.

Spur

No one holds WWII against Italy like Germany or Japan

JustStopDude

The history of the US mafia and its role in WWII is fascinating.

The FBI and the military were dreading going into Italy. So they made a deal with US mafia in Operation Underworld. Lucky Luciano was serving time in US prison. In exchange for his freedom, he promised the US military would have zero resistance from the families in Italy and in the US.

Pretty much the only US facilities that faced no labor issues during the war was from Italian mafia controlled docks. Furthermore, when they got to the Italian ports, pretty much every official and spy associated with the Fascists and the Nazis were handed over.

Luciano thought he would be allowed to stay in the US upon his release, but he was deported to Italy.

So an Earth Fare moved in just near my house. This just goes to show that the hipsters are going to start arriving into Roanoke from Asheville, NC because they are getting priced the fuck out.

I assume this is good for me as the value of my house will go up (though more taxes I guess).

I’ve never been into one of these hyper fancy hipster stores. I mean we got co-ops, but nothing like this chain. They have an official “food philosophy”. On a lark, I went into it just to check it out. I could barely get onto the parking lot.

I refuse to purchase anything from a place that sells “organic, heirloom bleach” so I ended up leaving without spending an insane amount of money for overpriced stuff.

WCS

You’re also getting a Deschutes Brewery soon. Dey’s tastee.

JustStopDude

Yeah they already have the new tasting room. I haven’t been there yet. I’m kind of cheap when it comes to things.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Organic bleach? I have a degree in chemistry from one of the top chemistry programs in the U.S. and literally did work for Clorox and even I haven’t the foggiest idea on how you’d make bleach organic.

JustStopDude

I’m just as confused by the “heirloom” label they shove on everything.

Do they have a serf in the back like pissing in a vat to make the bleach (I assume that human urine must be involved in some format).

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It’s basically just electrolysis of sea water. So I guess if the sea water and the electricity are organic…they are fine?

Doktor Zymm

WTF is a “Earth Fare”?

JustStopDude

No fucking idea. Nothing about this store makes sense to me. But I think the target market is people with more money than common sense.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Oakland has only committed one pass interference penalty this year. Normally you’d say that’s a good thing, but coupled with the fact that they have zero interceptions is indicative that their defensive backs are so bad they are rarely even close enough to the play to commit pass interference in the first place.

I’m in the middle of watching Escape from the Bronx, a horrible movie made by an Italian production company back in the 70s. It is horrible. And hilarious.

Doktor Zymm

The 70s had fantastic movies, both legit and shitty B

JustStopDude

The MST3k send up is brilliant.

https://youtu.be/GfEyP-ksbo8

The sequel “1990: The Bronx Warriors” is also worth checking out.

Brick Meathook

Car Crash, starring Joey Travolta, which was also a 70’s Italian Grade-Z action film, is the single greatest work of art in all human history.

Doktor Zymm

Can’t quite figure out how Sling TV works with commercials. Sometimes they show them, sometimes they put up a sign saying ESPN IS SHOWING COMMERCIALS and sometimes the feed freezes and I can’t tell if it’s cause they’re blocking commercials or because they’re actually frozen

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Fun fact: Sling TV is what Andrew Luck’s doctor recommended for him to wear and do during his recovery process.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The quality of my jokes tonight are intended to match the quality of the game.

JustStopDude

Yeah that is annoying right?

I had the ESPN package and I ended up canceling it and just go with youtube streams as this doesn’t happen as much. The other thing I found was a LOT of the time, the feed would be “HD” but it was filmed with low def equipment.

So I ended up watching the spanish feed on youtube. Crystal clear and no Gruden Grinders.

Doktor Zymm

I’ve had decent quality so far, and there are a couple other channels I watch included, so I’ll probably stick with it for a while. But yeah, it has its flaws. I actually do like watching games in Spanish, I know just enough that I can sort of vaugley figure out what they’re talking about, but not enough to be annoyed

Brick Meathook

At work, I had a coworker ranting that Moore is no worse than Clinton was.

I pointed out that Clinton could not get elected today based on his prior behavior and actions as this is a much different political climate.

This caused a rant about how us “kids” are all snowflakes and we worry about “stupid shit”.

Of all the shit old people should bitch at younger people for, a lack of tolerance for sex abuse seems really bizarre to me.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Did you ask him if he had smashed his Keurig?
I get into the office real early, and went around and put sticky notes with “Please Don’t Destroy Me!” on all the Keurigs at the various coffee messes in my wing of the office this morning.

Gratliff

They’ve already lost the war on hip hop and the war on Christmas. If you take away the desire to fuck 14 year olds, what else do they have?

jjfozz

You want to hear how kids sports are out of control?
Okay.
So a high school coach came to watch the U-14 team play, which makes sense.
Then he asked the commissioner about my middle son and his attitude, grades, etc.
He. Is. 10.

Doktor Zymm

Maybe (definitely) I’m out of touch here, but how can high schools even recruit?

herodotus450

Do I need to remind you about a little player by the name of ADAM BANKS?

jjfozz

Here in Maryland they can. the kids who are playing U-14 are eighth graders, so the coaches come out and watch. crazy.

JustStopDude

My three nieces made the all Harford County team. One of the twins basically played all the games in goal and had four shutouts over the weekend.

A local high school was asking my sister in law where they lived to find out what school they would end up in.

The twins are in 2nd grade, and the oldest in is 4th. I didn’t realizes that girls soccer is getting so cutthroat.

jjfozz

Didn’t know you were a fellow Marylander. Goddamn kids sports are nuts.

Went to my alma mater yesterday with Fozz Spawn #1. Fuck am I old. Stopped by to look at the picture of a classmate who was murdered when we were all juniors. Great hoops player and fucking funnier than shit. Calling his death a complete waste is not even close. The day he died, I was sitting in religion class with him and he was licking his palms and smacking people in the face. That’s my last memory of him.
