Your “What Day Is It In Mexico?” NFL Open Thread

I think today is a good day to celebrate my non-existent Mexican heritage by eating a brand of chip that has no real connection to Hispanic culture but hints at it in the name. Behold, “Munchos”! Imagine if you will the end result of a jar of Pringles having a three-way with a salt lick and a teenager with cystic acne. Bang! There’s your Munchos. They will make you drink though, and if you choose booze you’ll wake up in the middle of the night with a desert in your throat. Where am I going with this? I’ve no idea. TO THE GAMES!

Buf/LAC: The Bills D was onto something as late as three weeks ago but then gave up a combined 81 points in their last two “adventures”. Maker of Children Phil Rivers has been cleared to play by an independent consultant that is paid to give that specific diagnosis. Tyrod Taylor gets the benching and fifth-round rook Nathan Peterman makes his first start. I hope his previous experience as a buttoned-down, blonde, blue-eyed president of a Harvard fraternity house prepared him adequately for his new role.

Cin/Den: The Broncs only give up 305 yds. per game but have been buzz-sawed by opponents to the tune of 92 points in their last two outings. On the offensive side, the Bengals inability to run the ball will be countered by Denver’s pathetic qb play. The adjective “watchable” is taking the day off here.

NE/Oak: Ah, Raiders-where did it all go wrong? One little hint that I can see is that the team’s leading receiver isn’t a Crabtree or a Cooper but is actually a Cook. And you know what they say about too many cooks, right? They throw the baby out with the brothwater or something like that. The Pats are favoured by just 7 but have won their last three by an average of 16.

Saddle up, partners-we’ve work to do!

When a ref makes a call against him, does he vibrate with indignation?

No, he just craps his pants.

Nice. I assume they have a ladies toilet? Always worth asking with older places.

Calgary v Edmonton is a hell of a game if you can get it via reddit stream.

I heard Trudeau asked the Eskimos’ owner’s wife if he could “you know, just do like my dad did, and enjoy each other.”

Dammit I actually believe the Broncos could be a serviceable team if they had one of those, you know, quarterbacks.

King Hippo

except for THAT, how did you enjoy the play, Mrs. Lincoln?

blaxabbath

Mrs showed positive on some home pregnancy tests yesterday. I was high when she told me. I’ve been sick all day today.

When does it like count as ‘actually pregnant’? Also, I guess we shouldn’t have drank so much last weekend.

Doktor Zymm

When it’s confirmed by a doctor. Assume she’s set up an appointment?

blaxabbath

Tuesday

Doktor Zymm

So yeah, that’s when you’ll know. And don’t worry about the drinking. Everyone does, and it’s not a big deal unless it’s chronic AND acute.

montythisseemsstrangetome

Darren Sharper agrees. Go ahead and have that drink.

blaxabbath

Not really. We were even commenting in Vegas about how little we’d really drank lately:

Diets are shit though. Guess I’ll have to get back to Sunday Gravying.

montythisseemsstrangetome

Don’t ask the fundamentalists.

King Hippo

the home kits are almost always right now, consider your life over

blaxabbath

i kinda do.

litre_cola

Congrats, and yes, when confirmed by a dr. but not Zymm, she isn’t that kind of doctor.

Doktor Zymm

It’s true. And if you piss in one of my cups I will be very upset.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Sorry, I thought it was one of those bra urinals like I saw in Utrecht!

Doktor Zymm

Intrigued?

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

I think that was the name of the bar, yes.

Spur

That Bosa guy would look great in a Cowboys jersey.

“We like his skin color.” -Cowboys fans

...

Oh Tony, the NFL will push a team in London before one in Mexico City even if the latter would be much easier logistically.

Doktor Zymm

What are the chances that the night game will be close and I should be coherent enough to curse in ALL CAPS at halftime?

blaxabbath

Yeah, why has OAK been so bad this year? Like, they aren’t decimated by injuries. If “just underperforming, someone different each week” — then that’s scary because that just means you were overhyped.

And you know who we used to overhype so much because we wanted them to be good so bad? The Raiders. When they sucked.

...

Fun fact: I’ve actually been inside the Pyramid of the Sun.

Funner fact: It was definitely not legal for me to be there.

Hope you haven’t been pestered by any Aztec curses.

I always wondered who watches Ancient Aliens. Now i know.

I don’t think the Bills are going to win today.

the hell you say!

The other games are 40-10 and 24-0, and Red Zone still doing everything in its power to avoid showing the CIN/DEN fire de dumpster.

Your bilinguality is appreciated.

Both offenses are doing their part, too.

Doktor Zymm

I should look up team bars in SF. Team bars are fun, especially if it’s a Bills bar

WCS

Jack’s was pretty kick-ass. It’s not really a team bar, but, it was a shitload of fun. Something like 250 beers on draft.

laserguru

There’s an Irish bar near AT&T called Murphy’s that’s always been a lot of fun. Of course I’ve only gone there during baseball season.

Petronel

Can’t recommend any team bars (I was too young to imbibe when I moved away), but have you had a chance to go to the Exploratorium? Science paradise – one of my favorite places in the world (at least it was twenty years ago).

Brick Meathook

I don’t know about team bars, but go to Heinolds Last Chance Saloon in Jack London Square in Oakland. It’s been there since the 19th century and is unchanged since then. The bar and floor are still crooked from the 1906 quake, the top of the bar’s footrail is worn through. When it eventually catches fire it’s going to be consumed in under one minute.

Viva La Tabula Raza

In other words, never attend a Great White concert there.

WCS

Wow.

WCS

Uklah canned Jim Mora. Somewhere, Balls is celebrating with Rob Ryan, sniffing blow by the kilo, and drinking the entire state dry of tequila.

Speedy Gonzales and Slowpoke Rodrigues are still wildly popular in Mexico. Hollywood animation has always had a strong Latin American graphic influence going back to the 1930’s.

Viva La Tabula Raza

You’re kidding, La Bamba for bumper music? What’s next, the Fritos Bandito song?

Today is wifey and I’s tenth anniversary.

Unfortunately, we found out earlier today our brother-in-law (wifey’s sister’s husband) was killed in a car crash last night.

Give your loved ones a hug.

Guh. That’s awful.

Congrats on the first, and much sympathy on the second.

Oh shit. Sorry. That’s horrible. Congrats on the anniversary and sorry for the loss.

Don’t know her, don’t matter. Hug. From me. And us.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Uf. Our best to your family and especially your sister-in-law. Brutal.

Doktor Zymm

Yup, Kirk had a good QB rating. He’s also inconsistent, and they lost the game. And hey, maybe there’s a reason they haven’t come to a long term deal that’s unrelated to his QB rating in one particular game.

Doktor Zymm

Haven’t found the power adaptor for my Dust buster yet. How will I bust dust? Should I be super american, throw it out and buy a new one on Black Friday?

Unsurprised

I modified yeah right’s seasoning blend based on what I have available (more cayenne; no cumin, chili powder, or oregano) and I can’t wait to use it on my salmon stir fry tonight.

...

I may reheat pasta later.

I have a roast going in the oven that is just KILLING the neighbors with the delightful aroma.

Time to get the mashed potatoes going.

Instead of playing football, the Raiders should just steal some of Mexico’s cultural treasures and sail off into the distance

Um yeah, that “show up as late as possible” theory is BS. You can fly in a place and have issues with altitude and athletic exertion 1 hour later. Acclimate. Acclimate and COCA.
