Your Thursday Night “Coupe De Grass” NFL Football Open Thread

Is there anything better than drinking, joking and laughing with like-minded folks? Perhaps someone will mention the “c” word-you know ‘cintercourse’. But I feel that at the very least it’s better than the opposite-being dehydrated, seriousing and thousand-yard staring with people. American Thanksgiving in The Canada is a fantastic time if you have the wherewithal/foresight to grab that day off. Look at me over here-I’m actually aching for a turkey sammich slathered in mayo and topped with fresh cracked black pepper and best of all… NO FAMILY OBLIGATIONS ATTACHED TO SAID SNACK. I’m living the dream up here, baby. TO THE GAME!

REDACTEDS/GIANTS: How to write a game intro without doing any homework whatsoever. Here goes… That New York team surprised the crapola out of everyone last week by stealing a game from the faltering Chiefs last week in a game sponsored by an heroin overdose. I was on the edge of my ottoman because my self-worth is tied up in the Giants fortunes…still. No, I don’t know why. Apparently the D had a players-only meeting where everyone stepped up and blamed each other for the lousy performance the week previous and that made things all better. The O is still beyond atrocious, I mean somebody by the name of Roger Lewis was the go-to wr! After tossing another four players on the Injured Reserve pile this week the Dacteds now have a total of 15 guys residing there. I kinda feel sorry for Chris Thompson. He’s a guy that really stepped up and made plays when other play-makers got hurt or dropped the ball (stares at Terrelle Pryor) and paid the price for being way over-used and is now done. Hey Samjae Perine, you’re the next guy up!

Let’s do the thing that we do down below.

I see Hippo is still having fun.
What you spike yo’ chili with this year?

King Hippo

I just hate everything

Doktor Zymm

Smart man

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone had a good meal and a lack of political talk at the table.

ballsofsteelandfury

Today is proof the NFC East is the new AFC East.

King Hippo

you futile, Vereen

King Hippo

you suck, Elisha

King Hippo

you suck, Engram

Doktor Zymm

I wonder what the average rate of injury in football is? I wonder what the average inter-injury rate is? What’s the longest someone has gone without injury, normalized for competitive level?

ballsofsteelandfury

Classify injury.

Soft tissue? 1 per game. Others? Depends.

Doktor Zymm

Enough to miss time. And I was thinking on a per player basis.

ballsofsteelandfury

That’s difficult because of the “suck it up” mentality. If I’m on the Browns, a pinky strain keeps me out. On the Patriots, Gronk has played with broken limbs.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Do hurt feelings count?

laserguru

I got a soft tissue injury just eating pie.

laserguru

injury rate is 100% with time.

Time is undefeated.

Doktor Zymm

Yes, but what time?

ballsofsteelandfury

Pacific. The best time.

laserguru

you know? Time? Eventually? I guess when you consider the average lifespan of an NFL player that would be about three 3 years.
Unless Anthony Barr is charging at your ass.

Doktor Zymm

Eventually can be quantified, that was the question I was asking. Poisson distribution probl.

laserguru

I had a taste of chocolate cream pie, a pumpkin muffin and some Apple crumb pie that oldest granddaughter made herself. Just a taste but all good shit.

More drinks.

ballsofsteelandfury

So, is it possible that Philip Rivers will outscore every other team playing today by himself?

Combined?

STRIPES THEME!

Oh those sweet sweet 70s titties.

RIP John Candy

While they may have originally had valid points, the main result of Protestentism seems to be getting out of the fasting portions of religion

montythisseemsstrangetome

Worth it

theeWeeBabySeamus

I thought it was to avoid being alone with priests in teh konfeshunnal.
Shows what I know.

ballsofsteelandfury

I’ve Frankensteined a Thanksgiving dinner consisting of French onion soup, ham, mashed potatoes, sweet yams, pumpkin pie, and bourbon balls.

For three people. I know what I’m eating the next five days…

ballsofsteelandfury

Oh, and my dad did dressing.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I’ll bet you pretty much always have bourbon balls.

Aikman, Romo, and Collinsworth today. I’m a little less thankful now.

King Hippo

at least this turd is mutually applicable

I already hate this game.
Why wait until the last minute?

Doktor Zymm

It would be the stupidest thing ever, so where do I place my bet that Cousins is franchised another year? Does Vegas do that?

Gratliff

No, but Hippo does

Doktor Zymm

Okay, I have a Kerrigan jersey and am a huge fan, but damn, he’s like the very definition of whitebread. Also doesn’t seem to age? Weird.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I did not know they had her jersey for sale.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Every New York offensive player played college ball in the South or on the West Coast.

King Hippo

Elisha has never been up this late after his turkey day

Doktor Zymm

Can we call this the “No Offensive Line Bowl” or is that not catchy enough?

Doktor Zymm

The Giants receiving corps is a myths. I’ve read the Snopes.

King Hippo

I started Engram in both league, I deserves what I gets

montythisseemsstrangetome

Oh and Happy Turkeysgiving everyone! Even you kooky Kanadians.

Senor Weaselo

Is that Ryan Stiles?

It is, yes

Doktor Zymm

REMOVE YOUR CAPS, YOU DISRESPECTFUL BITCHES!

Doktor Zymm

I don’t wear caps, I wear super stylish HATS

Doktor Zymm

BUT THEY ALWAYS CHOKE IN THE ICE FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS LIKE SOME BITCHES

theeWeeBabySeamus

When she’s right, she’s right.
*sigh*

Doktor Zymm

Another awesome thing about the Sodastream POWER. It makes cool noises, kinda like power armor, but with more drink mixers and less armoring.

montythisseemsstrangetome

You guys see the abortion that was that Cowboys game? You know I’m starting to think maybe Ezekiel Elliott shouldn’t have hit that girl.

King Hippo

he shoulda been thinking of his teammates and America’s Thanksgiving boredom maybe next time he won’t be so selfish imo godbless

Sharkbait

Hit holes, not women.

Doktor Zymm

Counterpoint, he’s a misogynist bitchface whether he hits a gal or not and deserves everything he gets and more.

CounterCounterPoint:

Um, actually I agree with you.

Widdershins Point:
Any decision/stance of Goodell is automatically wrong and I WILL take the other side.
/Just preparing for my run for congress.

Doktor Zymm

There is a headline on nfl.com “Cousins’ Future With Washington Depends on Performance Down the Road” Didn’t read article, but pretty sure they’ve been running the same damn thing for the last 2 years.

Sharkbait

But do they like that?

herodotus450

A player who isn’t good enough won’t get another contract offer? What kind of masterwork strategy is that?
Someone should tell the Bengals.

Doktor Zymm

Hai hai hai! I am ready to see a game that is already totally irrelevant to the playoff picture! WOO!

King Hippo

I dunno, if you only need ONE of the Falcons and SeaTruthers to cock up…

King Hippo

kickers with numbers in the 90s always seem to be bumblefucks

Senor Weaselo

I have not seen GoT because we don’t have HBO. So Hermana Weaselo just gave me the synopsis.

Sharkbait

TL;DW: Tits and dragons.

laserguru

Also awesome direction, locations, cinematography and acting. And tits.

King Hippo

unpopular opinion warning – it does absolutely nothing for me whatsoever

The whole “martial law” thing is gonna come back to haunt them.

laserguru

The Wire was on top of this shit years ago.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Homicide: Life on the Street, too.

Sharkbait

Not suspicious at all…

King Hippo

nobody likes a tattletale

King Hippo

fuck me, I shoulda bet Johnny Reb as hard as I bet the Holes fer Saturday. 3-score rivalry lines when the talent disparity is anything short of overwhelming is fucking nuts, unless there is a valid psychological reason

Brick Meathook

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:
There is something way way off about Kirk Cousins. The dude has serial killer eyes. I’ll bet real money that one day he’s involved in something infamous, and you heard it here first. I warned you.

King Hippo

He’s mailing you a friendship bracelet made out of hitchhiker teeth as we speak.

/you like that

King Hippo

play fake don’t work so good on 3rd and fucking 17

Viva La Tabula Raza

There sure are a lot of people in the stands in this Egg Bowl. I wouldn’t have guessed that that many students had attended college in Mississippi in all of recorded history.

King Hippo

to be fair, a good 20% of them are prolly majoring in animal husbandry and/or kazoo

Aaaaaand I’m done with family

Sharkbait

Hooray for internet family?

King Hippo

even ESPN won’t show that again, his foot was dangling the wrong way and shit.

King Hippo

primarily a running/spread QB, too. Hate it for the kid.

King Hippo

oh GROSS foot injury

Horatio Cornblower

Some tape and some cortisone and he’ll be out for the second half.

Horatio Cornblower

My wife is watching Christmas movies on Hallmark and I’m ruining them by pointing out that the female lead, (because no one in this thing is a “star”), Catherine Bell, did soft-core porn back in the 90’s.

Also no Shannon Tweed

This is one of the many reasons I’m glad to be Jewish.

hmmmm, there’s brunch and there’s brunch

Quote from my wife: “Now all I can think about is that Lydia is a whore.”

the BUT/TX game on ESPN2 is 13-9 after 14 minutes of play (basketball)

Johnny Reb WOO!!!

/at least I had $150 on this one

Leftover chili. It’s always better the next day.

Sharkbait

Chili, chowder, and red sauce. All things better the next day.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Why not both? Gotta eat tomorrow too.
