After the “games” we sat through today, we finally get a decent matchup tonight. It’s too bad that we have to endure the incoherent ramblings of Cris Collinsworth, but we all have crosses to bear.
In non-football news, UCLA has fired Head Coach Jim Mora Jr. Thus begins another cycle of UCLA sucking balls while USC is good but not quite as good as they should be given the lack of competition. Seriously, if anyone should go it’s the AD, Dan Guerrero. The university has never committed to building a football program and has instead rested on the laurels of John Wooden by pretending to be a top basketball school. How has that worked out?
Seriously, Trump should have let them rot in a Chinese jail. Who the fuck thinks it’s a good idea to go to a foreign country and steal shit? They should have been kicked out of the university for embarrasing themselves and everyone associated with UCLA. But good old Dan Guerrero was the first one to thank Trump and has let the coach allow the players to “work” their way back onto the team. To borrow a meme from tWBS:
Let’s move on to something surprisingly good: THIS GAME!
The red-hot Philadelphia Eagles can give themselves a 4 loss lead with 6 games to play with a win over the Cowboys. This is Game Two of Ezekiel Elliot’s suspension and no one has effectively come forward to make up for his absence. If the Cowboys could lose to RAMMIT at home, they can get destroyed by Philly.
Hopefully, the Eagles can get out of this game with no injuries. As you can see with the Cowboys, teams are way worse when key players are out and that diminishes the appeal of the game, the team, and the league.
BTW, if Jerry Jones can somehow can Goodell’s ass, I will be perfectly happy with the Boys winning the next 6 Super Bowls. Call me Faust, I don’t care.
Get to it, you heathens!
Why arent the Eagles ahead by 20 yet. I was told they were the real deal this year
Because you touch yourself
If that was the case Dallas would be 0-9.
this is Nihilist SNF, we believe in nuh-shing!
This is oddly reminiscent of the previous NY/KC contest.
The Browns’ season?
The Browns’ entire existence?
“Stop it, he’s already dead” also sums up the Browns nicely.
#ThePauls
Holy shit. This beer rules.
Shut up Dez, just get your ass lined up.
oh God a FIRST DOWN??
“I am 100% behind you.”
“I can’t wait to accomplish all our goals together…”
…by pissing away large amounts of found money on the off-chance that the glowing ball lands on the million dollar slot, because I’m a fucking moron.
Americans have all too easily embraced the dystopian idea of praying some combination of fame and luck will save us from the erosion of the societal institutions intended to serve us.
My 401K consists entirely of losing Powerball tickets!
i plan to drop dead at 65.
What’s that from

now THAT was good SNL
So let’s talk turkey. What are you fuckers cooking/eating this Thursday?
Turkey. I wish my friend was making prime rib like last year, but smoked turkey grabbed his balls.
My group of friends used to do turkey and prime rib, but it’s a smaller gathering these days, so just the bird this year.
Prime rib would be awesome.
It was.
Roast turkey, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, corn casserole, green bean casserole, rolls…we’re still determining pies/desserts.
I volunteered a spiral sliced ham. Stoopid easy and everyone loves them
You actually cook it?
I always get Oysters for the family to eat in the morning.
Seafood is an underrated T-day element. I have a stuffed clams dish that I serve while the turkey is cooking.
My sister just invited herself and family of four over. Tonight.
I think we’re gonna order pizza.
And not from the good place either.
PAPA Johns then!
We’re doing the traditional as always.
Most family has been told they can’t come this year.
Long story, but I am not sad about it.
Good for you. I never understand why so many people feel the need to spend holidays with people whose company they don’t enjoy, just because IT’S FAAAAAAMILY!
Wifes a nurse so she’s working thurs. we’re hosting Xmas this year though. So I’m cooking Thursday’s turkey and taking it to her work pot luck as practice for Xmas.
She’s out picking it up right now (I’m home sick).
I’mma make chili. Perhaps buffalo chili. Just me and the one kid who’s working, other two doing extended family shit.
More often than not, I’m not watching any sports when I’m here on a live thread.
You’re watching…what’s yours?

Iggles setting up the punt at the DAL 45. SMRT!
“Well Marv, let’s look at the playbook…”
When SNL was good.
Last night’s hockey sketch was fucking great. They still get that one good one in every 18 months or so
This is not a good game.
It could be better.
DAKERCEPTION PART DEUX
arm punt…..stop forcing to Dez.
Time to switch to Brock Lesnar vs. AJ Styles. It’s a battle between a flat earther christian fundie who happens to be the best performer in the world, and the crazy cracker in the woods part timer physical anomaly who likes roids
Gotta shake off the rust.
FUCK THE COWBOYS,
Ok, still feels good
Always go with your strengths.
Some things never grow old.
e.g. James Dungy
We sure North Dakota boy is ok? He looks off.
he said his favourite colour is “hamster” he’s clearly fine
As much as I wasn’t crazy about that wine, it hasn’t stopped me from drinking it.
Poison’s poison
It’s wine. So, it’s healthy for my heart. So… TAKE THAT
It’s not even just all punts. Even the punts are taking long rolls and making it less likely anything will happen.
ALL THE 3 AND OUTS
I have watched very little of this game. It does like this: “Oh, thye’re punting. Time to catch up on web browsing. Oh, it’s third down, I wonder if they’ll convert… nope, punting again.”
The Three Stooges go to Court?
“What are you doing in the NFL that you weren’t doing in college”
‘Roids. The answer is “‘roids.”
2 chicks at the same time?
Getting paid
*via actual checks over the table
correct, i should edit my comment.
/USC alumni slink out.
We would also accept “studying” as an alternate answer.
This is the only correct answer
I miss the days I had pure, unadulterated Cowboys hate. It’s all relative now, they probably won’t make the playoffs, and that wouldn’t have stopped me back in the day…maybe I’m just less vitriolic now. Sad.
Getting old sucks.
NAMESAKE MENTION
/drinks
But really, how did I let myself get stuck with this goddamned name?
I haven’t heard ‘Horatio’ yet and I ain’t waiting.
I’m watching Dr. Strangelove. The modern Republican Party’s intellectual forefathers actually believed the shit Ripper is saying.
Well, you have to give modern Republicans credit, then: they don’t believe in “denying their essence” to teenage girls.
Older ones. The younger ones are so misogynistic they won’t even fuck.
If by “won’t” you mean “can’t get a woman to go near them, but pretend that they didn’t want those grapes anyway because they’re too sour,: then sure
yeah, ’cause with so many of these trolls that’s a “choice”
I think many of them still do. Except they are on the Russian’s side nowadays.
Stop forcing the ball to Dez. It never works
Trump tweets something racist about the new Pixar movie – 50/50
Over
I expected less punting
yep, gin will do that
so much defensing!
Jaylon did a good?
Radko Gudas got 10 games for the attempted decapitation of a fellow human being
You aint won shit yet Philly
UNCLE BEEL! UNCLE BEEL!
-Cole Beasley
Well, Wentz might be slightly faster than Dak, but I bet he can’t run in a straight line right now.
In North Dakota the DWI field test is if you can walk a more or less straight line, since there’s no one else on the road.
Define “straight”.
(Wait, that’s not what I meant)
Have not been watching the first half, but can Dez get me some fucking points?
His mom can get you plenty for $200.
No, and you can thank the refs, Goodell and JJ for that, in that order.
This is how the NFL will die an incredibly fast death…
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-concussions-cte-confirmed-in-living-person-20171115-story.html
I honestly believe that once there is a test that can reliably detect CTE, contact sports are dead in the water.
We don’t scruakky care. We’ll just outrage about it while handing over our dollars.
You won’t be able to get talent.
I suspect you would see a significant number of college athletes already testing positive for CTE. It takes years for the symptoms to manifest.
You won’t have a draft class practically. The level of talent would drop off like a rock. I would give it about 5 to 10 years and the NFL is relegated to Boxing popularity.
Possibly. But we’ve shown the NFL can be quite popular without talent. There can be further rule changes and equipment upgrades also about safety.
Plus, you can bank on a segment of the populace who’ll deny the science. They’ll insist that you just can’t play too many years….and those people will conveniently be southerners who love their CFB
Your post is entire valid though and it’s plausible that drying up the talent is the biggest way to kill the nfl. Hard to imagine youth leagues will still be able to exist without crippling liability soon.
Thirty years ago, sure. However, history has also shown how much the NFL shit upon the scabs (deservedly so) once they were unnecessary. So I expect less from them next time.
will finally start paying the JV fuckers
The NCAA will kill itself first.
They’re off to a good start already.
INSUFFICIENT HUSTLE
We’ll just complain that they haven’t come up with a brain fixing drink fast enough yet.
Wentz also drinks nanobubbles.
Wentz passed that 30 second MVP Concussion Protocol
How many fingers am I holding up? TRICK THE ANSWER IS HUGS!
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
That’s a lot of u’s, what about ME?
Well according to Cris there’s no way the Cowboys can lose now, because the momentum has shifted!!!!
Never mind that Elliott is still suspended and Tyron is still hurt and Lee is still hurt.

I’m saving up. Or something.
My God
Nick Foles coming? It has been foreseen.
WOMP WOMP
So that’s how Aaron Rodgers has been spending the season.
At least it has a window.
One-way, no doubt. That’s just cruel.
Awww, no matter what you think of the Eagles or Carson Wentz, how sad is it that he has a huge pimple on his forehead in his photo?
LOL
it’s from all the grit
Grit keeps my pores clean, but to each his own.
HAHA
Oh, yes. This beer was worth the 2 mile walk. And yeah right’s mix is delicious.
You can’t just leave us in suspense like that! What beer?
You missed my earlier comments. I went and picked up a 32 ounce growler of this –
https://untappd.com/b/mcmenamins-double-barrel-baltic-porter/1165376 –
Tomorrow is Growler Monday, where most 64oz growlers are half off. I’m going to see if I get the same price for two 32-ouncers. Maybe all 4 that I have.
Living the dream.
