Your “A Good Game? On Thursday Night? Somebody’s Getting Fired” NFL Football Open Thread

Another end to the work grind rears its sumptuous, ball-tingling head. We’re eleven weeks in already, folks. We’ve laughed, we’ve cried, we’ve made fun of each other, we’ve masturbated to comments that have received more than 6 likes, we’ve disparaged certain commenters over the P.A. system at our workplaces- We…we’ve done a lot of things. Have you set your fantasy lineups yet? Perhaps this is a good time to take a second look, or a first one if you’re the type of guy that quit on the league three weeks ago because you weren’t in first place and when confronted on it, pretend to have “a life”, whatever that means. [makes wanking motion] TO THE GAME!

Ten/Pit: First things first-how is it that the Titans don’t have an injury report? There’s not a body on there anywhere. How is that possible? Last I checked this was a sport that destroyed player’s minds and bodies. As Belichick would say, “Somebody is not doing their job”. We’ve got dueling four straight win streaks headed into this game but of those eight total wins, six have been by six points or less. Of more interest to Scooby, Shaggy and the other occupants of The Mystery Van is, “how the hell can the Titans be 6-3 when they’ve given up 213 points and only scored 205”? I’m sure that league-wide stats will shed some flashlight on this conundrum. Hmmm, they’re 16th in team D and 22nd in team O. Oh, they gon be exposed tonight!, methinks. As for your player to take a gander at I submit to you JuJu Smith-Schuster. Not only did he win 2nd place in the poodle category at last year’s Westminster Dog Show, he’s also the Steelers leading receiver in TD’s! That’s one hell of a skill-set, folks.

Get to it you meddlin’ kids!

I still don’t even know how Bitcoin makes money. It defies logic.

King Hippo

I have enough trouble trying to understand how real money works, FFS

JustStopDude

Idiots keep throwing more USD into it. Its a really obvious pyramid scheme, but its set up perfectly for people that think they are really smart.

Imagine a massive public ledger that is just slow as fuck. Now imagine it can handle like 3 transactions per second. Well Visa does 1,667 transactions a second.

There is no real privacy as all you have to do is compromise a few wallets to figure out where shit is going. The vast majority of the coins never move and if they did, the bottom would drop out. Most of the transactions going on are bullshit fake transactions on Chinese servers to make it look like lots of people are using them, so their own mining farms can discover blocks (basically how the ledger is created) to get bitcoins which they immediately sell for yuan.

They just recently had a split between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash. Long story short, a bunch of basement dwelling morons are fighting over a system that doesn’t even facilitate the movement of drugs and illicit porn very well because again, its a public fucking ledger.

It is beyond moronic.

herodotus450

Crypto coin market cap, combined, is something like 200 Billion usd. That’s a pretty nice basement, I’d take it.
https://coinmarketcap.com/

JustStopDude

I realize that is what the market is claimed to be. That is a joke.

We are talking about less than 5% of the coins ever move. Most are locked up in wallets owned by “Satoshi”. Any significant movement of coins, the price drops out immediately.

The vast majority of users are solely speculators. No one would be able to extract anywhere close to that value from the market.

A single exchange going down is enough to spook the price down by $500. The vast majority of trades are performed by bots. Its not a true market at all. Hell, the price right now is being insanely ballooned up by tether.

That whole mess is HILARIOUS. Basically a single exchange is offering supposed “tethered” coins to USD…only they have never been audited and they have no agreements with banks. This came out when they lost their bank access in Hong Kong. So effectively every 30 days, they are magically created like $50 million USD in new Tethers into their system to inflate their volume.

The system is a joke. If anyone is thinking about getting involved in it, stay the fuck away.

herodotus450

Well, back to selling knives I guess. Anyone got a penny?

Gratliff

For every guy bragging he bought a car off bitcoin mining, there’s 100 who don’t even know where theirs went.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I have a friend who is probably a bitcoin billionaire by this point. He used to give them away as prizes for pick ’em football and NCAA. I used 0.1 to pay for my football streaming last year, which unfortunately amounts to like $700 now.

JustStopDude

Most likely not. Its incredibly difficult to pull USD out of the system. If you go onto an exchange, you are going to get ripped the fuck off. Exchanges are designed where you can get your cash into the system, but you can never get it out.

So that leaves localbits. Imagine Craig’s List only its basement dwelling internet libertarians. You will get ripped off if not outright robbed.

That’s what stops me from investing in the Stock Market. It seems like I would have to risk a lot of money to earn a little profit. Its almost like the Casino, only with extra zeros and me really confused why I’m losing money.

It looks like he dropped him out of bounds. So I guess its not a late hit if you don’t hit him?

JustStopDude

Pittsburgh is the perfect example of this, but you can throw in pretty much any time, especially Baltimore, where you have a fan base that acts like the team reflects the characteristics of the city and the people in the city, thus the fans.

I am 100% certain that none of the people in the stadium live and work in Pittsburgh. They may work in the city, but no way in hell do they live in the city. If they could afford to live in the good parts, they are hipsters that follow stupid sports like that fucking made up shit in that wizard movie…quiche or whatever.

Same with fucking Baltimore. Never met a Baltimore fan in the stadium that actually fucking lived in the city. It was always a whole slew of people from the burbs, who didn’t even try to hide their racism towards the city.

I did for a long time but not recently, but I do really like seeing the formations from this angle and the pocket pressures.

Empirically it is a better view to see where holes open up for the run and to see routes better.

He went with the good old “sovereign citizen” legal argument that has never, fucking EVER worked. Not surprisingly, it was filed pro se.

guess that settles which gang he pledged, eh?

Sovereign Citizen would be a great name for a lot of things: bands, bars, penises, etc.

My prediction is that this game is a huge turd and the Steelers roll.

King Hippo

a turd is always a safe bet, especially since I decided not to bet on the Yinzers since the line didn’t move from 7 to 6.5

litre_cola

Steelers by 7 you say? Yes please.

King Hippo

it’s one of those where I want to take the Yinzers to win, and hedge with Tits moneyline (+335)

litre_cola

errrone says they will roll, so your angle may be smart.

when I am this conflicted, I usually just abstain though. I mean, I have my wee $50 props to scratch my heroine itch.

Evening commentists, I hope that you are well. Need me some Juju 1st td tonight.

I bet Juju to out-receive Corey Davis (by 15 or more yards, +105), and for Mariota to get at least 23 yards rushing (-102).
