Your “Uh-Oh, Company’s Coming” Saturday Evening Open Thread and NFL Broadcast Maps

Howdy folks!

I feel it is my responsibility to remind everyone, well us U.S. residing folks anyway, that Thanksgiving is Thursday. Like, next fucking Thursday. As in 5 goddamn days Thursday.

And you haven’t even been to the grocery store yet have you?

HAVE YOU!?!

What are you thinking? That can of corn isn’t going to heat itself!

Man, if only somebody somewhere would have detailed instructions for what to do if you’ve waited too long to start your Thanksgiving meal preparation. Damn! Maybe someday. What a missed opportunity.

Back when I was a younger fella I used to be one of those lunatics who made the entire Thanksgiving meal by myself. Breads, pies, turkey all of the goddamn sides and I am here to tell you that that shit is LUNACY! Fuck that, man. You’ve got to do the group dinner prep. For the last several years eldest right and her husband have brought a smoked turkey and all of the dessert items along with some home brew that my son-in-law makes himself. That way all I have to do is make the breads and the sides. I can do that shit. Doing the whole meal is a young man’s game

This year I am bypassing the standard mashed potatoes – roasted garlic mashed potatoes at that – and am instead making my traditional Grandmommie’s dressing along with this beauty 

gratin potatoes with onion, and gruyere cheese from this past season of Sunday Gravy.

I will also be baking a loaf of fresh homemade bread,

another recipe from this past season.

Oh yeah.

Wait, why are you grabbing your coat and your car keys?

You’re not going to the store now are you?

Stop that shit! Go on Monday or Tuesday, we’ve got shit to do.

Tonight we are taking it easy. We’ve got games to watch, liquor to imbibe, perhaps sample a few smokeables and/or edibles if you so desire and we’ve got dick jokes to make!

If you want some hot early season NBA action, here’s the schedule.

If the NHL is your thing, well here you go.

Our own King Hippo gave you the college football rundown earlier in the day and I’m sure there’s a smattering of college hoops if that’s more to your liking.

Now on to the good stuff. Your broadcast maps, all courtesy of 506sports.com

CBS EARLY


 Anchorage AK  |   Fairbanks AK
 Honolulu HI

Kansas City @ NY Giants Ian Eagle, Dan Fouts
Baltimore @ Green Bay Kevin Harlan, Rich Gannon
Jacksonville @ Cleveland Andrew Catalon, James Lofton
NO GAME due to local team at home on FOX

Holy shit, that is an unappetizing line-up of games. Is there really that big of a demand for Jacksonville/Cleveland in Nashville? Poor bastards.

Let’s see what Fox Early has.

FOX SINGLE


 Anchorage AK  |   Fairbanks AK
 Honolulu HI

Washington @ New Orleans Joe Buck, Troy Aikman
LA Rams @ Minnesota Kevin Burkhardt, Charles Davis, Greg Olsen
Arizona @ Houston Kenny Albert, Ronde Barber
Detroit @ Chicago Thom Brennaman, Chris Spielman
Tampa Bay @ Miami Dick Stockton, Mark Schlereth
Buffalo @ LA Chargers (LATE) Chris Myers, Daryl Johnston
BOTH LAR-MIN and BUF-LAC

Ah, no late games for Fox so they just jammed ’em all into the early window. Who you got on this graph? Maybe watch the Saints possibly drive the final stake into the hearts of the Washington Football Club? Tampa bay at Miami? The make-up hurricane bowl? Nah, fuck that. You’re watching my Vikes host the LAR aren’t you?

Good for you.

Finally here’s the CBS late window.

CBS LATE


 Anchorage AK  |   Fairbanks AK
 Honolulu HI

New England vs Oakland (in Mexico City) Jim Nantz, Tony Romo
Cincinnati @ Denver Greg Gumbel, Trent Green

Here’s a fun fact. I just now discovered that Mexico City is in the equivalent of our Central Time Zone so the P*ts and Raider game is a 3:00 local start. Nice. Or I suppose you can watch the “What the Fuck Happened to You Two?” Bowl with the Bungles and the Donks.

I can smell the sadness from here.

First? Let’s grab a cocktail and get this motherfucking party started!

Check it out! There’s a jukebox in this joint.

Talk to me, people!

If I was the Oklahoma QB, this would have been my apology:

“I got caught up in the heat of the moment. I should have realized that the cameras are on me all game. Next time, I’ll cover my mouth so no one can read my lips and tell them what they can do instead of making a gesture. There will be no questions. “

Romonobyl

“This guy gets it!”

– Al Franken

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

“No he doesn’t.”

-Roy Moore

JerBear50

If you were the Oklahoma QB, you likely wouldn’t be able to string together that many coherent sentences.

WCS

“Right by you. Cent senses hard to make.”

— Troy Aikman

JerBear50

Emmitt approved.

So did they.

Why is there a statue of him outside a fish warehouse?

WCS

Because of his well-known love and success at professional fishing. Duh.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Well unshit.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Well shit.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yes WF kicker, point to the sky…because I’m certain God is watching you and he’s why you barely made that gimme.

Fucktard.

JerBear50

If god liked him he wouldn’t be a fucking kicker.

Oh man. Anyone realize that Wisconsin is 11-0?

King Hippo

those cheese-huffing fucksticks are gonna make me cheer FOR tOSU.

ballsofsteelandfury

Definitely not the Selection Committee

Romonobyl

In DUI’s per capita? Not surprised.

Spur

UTSA needs to change its mascot name. No one wants to be a Roadrunner.

Romonobyl

Better than the Coyote.

Spur

I say ask for a letter from the tribe and rename to the Lipan Raiders. It’s PC and kick ass.

Viva La Tabula Raza

As a Roadrunner myself, I prefer it to UCSB Banana Slugs or Rhode Island School of Design Nads, with their mascot Scrotie.comment image

Spur

OLLU for Life!
You heathen!

Viva La Tabula Raza

Hey, I got a nearly free ride from UT (went to Austin for a couple semesters before transferring to UTSA) due to no veteran’s education benefits. Could never have afforded one of those private SA church schools.
Tangential: Gal I used to work with in the environmental restoration field 20 years ago, daughter of former mayor Phil Hardberger, is now the dean of the law school at OLLU. Or maybe it’s St. Mary’s.

apparently it was a “crotch grab” by Baker Mayfield. One doesn’t expect that from a white scholar-athlete ,, smgdh.

I would like a UCLA and Stanford cover please.

ballsofsteelandfury

What’s the spread?

King Hippo

Both started around 16.5 and moved to like 14

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

comment image

litre_cola

I got both at 16.5

King Hippo

My Cal bet went in at 16

King Hippo

the opposing QB (for Ole Miss v. TAMU) is named “TA’AMU” which is kinda funny

King Hippo

TAMU starting to hear the Men Without Hats refrain in they heads…

Spur

Why can’t USC and UCLA hire good coaches? You don’t have to recruit. The players come to you.

ballsofsteelandfury

The truth is that there are really no good coaches available. And they’re not spending millions on coaches. UCLA can’t and USC doesn’t want to.

King Hippo

Horatio, it seems that UConn is a wet bag of shit. They refuse to kick the FG and hget back within 21 to cover.

litre_cola

Ahhh the meaningless field goal to cover the spread.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Almost a bad safety dance there.
Wow, we suck.

JerBear50

They’re no friends of mine.

Track Suits do just enough to get past Morgan State, 111-48.

They should do reviews like they do in rugby where you can hear the conversation between the replay official and the referee on the field.

Romonobyl

Sucks about Malcolm Young. He was the unsung hero of AC/DC, he laid the foundation his brother built upon. I think the band might be done now.

WCS

Isn’t Phil Rudd in jail?

Shogun Marcus

They already were really. Brian literally couldn’t sing anymore, Phil Rudd tried killing his wife, and Malcolm stopped in 2014.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Did I see somewhere that the remnants were touring with Axl Rose doing vocals? Maybe I dreamt it.

JerBear50

Yeah, they had him fill in for the rest of the dates they had booked.

Shogun Marcus

Yeah that was a short run. Basically axl n angus.

JerBear50

Shoulda been done because of the way they shit on Brian Johnson.

I bet The General auto insurance would cover that.

Now THAT is a catch.

I’m oddly aroused. Ah childhood.

WCS

Sam Darnold is going to be the perfect Browns draft bust.

It’s going to be Lamar Smith the year after.

Evening all.
Spent the day with my son using up his 21st B-day present. I gave him a certificate for a tandem parachute jump, something he always wanted to do. He loved it, got to see Mustang Island from 2 miles up. He wants to go again of course, I might join him when my knee is healthy and I drop about 20 pounds.
I know, a perfectly good airplane…

Viva La Tabula Raza

So where did he land? Port A? Ship channel?

Romonobyl

Fortunately not that windy, they actually made it back to the airport on Mustang Beach.

Spur

The 76ers just lost the lead. Shitty job guys.

u noe the best thing about the NBA?

Hippo passes it over to Sparano’s football…

Sharkbait

Was it me, or did ABC leave a certain orange drink nicknamed player off of the list of the USC heisman winners?

JerBear50

Yeah, it’s ashame how quickly everyone has forgotten about good old Bob Sunnydelight.

King Hippo

I hear tell he barely tipped a Jewish waiter once and also sends mean texts to his ex-wife. Can you imagine being such a dick?

JerBear50

To be fair, Jewish waiters start out taking nearly 20% off the top.

UCLA picking up 4th and 10 at the end of the first. Ballsy move

King Hippo
