Game Preview: Houston at Baltimore
A game that must have looked good when the schedule was announced instead one team missing it’s elite defence (again) versus the other team which is in need of a elite quarterback.
Houston might have been able to survive the season without Watt had they not also lost DeShaun Watson, which might just be further proof that this franchise’s existence angers the gods and they should either be contracted or relocated before further damage is done to the Houston sports scene. Blowing up both the offence and defence is a bold strategy, and is not something usually recommended by today’s NFL game planners. Right about now Bill O’Brien must be thinking that the Tennessee Volunteers job looks pretty sweet, especially given the mess they’ve made of hiring a new coach.
On the Baltimore side of things, they are playing for the #6 seed in the AFC, and they stand a cromulent chance of achieving that goal, so long as the AFC West continues to be a garbage fire, and the teams under New England in the AFC East seem determined to run away from ever challenging the Patriots while Tom Brady is still walking upright. If the Ravens can stumble their way to 9-7, that should ensure they get an away playoff date against the winner of the AFC South. But first, they have to win tonight to keep pace with the…Bills?!

Thanks to the Rams beating the Saints, the Seahawks remain one game back of the NFC West lead. So far, I have not received a missive asking for a playoff deposit. KEEP THAT MONEY IN MY POCKET, RAMMIT!

That’s not what they mean by spraying bullets honey.
Flacco is now 13-24, 111 YDS.
That feels like 10 completions and 80 yards more than what I have been watching…
Sigh. Why did I pick them at more than a TD favoUrite?
I need 20 more yards from Wallace for fuck sakes. Flacco is making this very difficult.
Why does Baltimore even field a QB? Just do what the Naval Academy does.
They already have a QB that can’t hit the side of a barn.
Their Blue Angels unis look pretty sweet.
Pretty sure a Blue Angel or two has actually hit the side of a barn. RIP
I hate the naval academy. The grads were fucking nightmares in the fleet.
If there was a serious accident in the propulsion plant, it was because someone listened to an academy kid.
That said…
They got some sick lids…
We had a couple ringknockers on my ship, we called it The Trade School. Current good friend of mine from Puerto Rico graduated Annapolis late 70s, flew S-3s, got out after 8 and flies 777s for Delta now. Maybe pilots are a different breed, he’s not an asshole like most grads I met in the surface fleet.

Hmmm…I could get visitor sideline row 7 for about $300. No way in hell that’s worth it, unless I could be sure of the Cowboys losing in humiliating fashion. Damn football with its lack of guarantees!
You could always take a sniper rifle.
I mean, it is Oakland.
There was a guy in my section wearing body armor and a Raiders mask. They do have metal detectors though, and require ALL CLEAR BAGS just like every other stadium
Booooo. See, now they’re taking away the ambience.
There was a LOT of weed smoke, if that helps
Very much, actually.
Thank you.
I’d propose that it would be funny to take a clear plastic bag full of tampons and a couple of dildos, but they’ve probably seen it all there at the Coliseum.
That sounds more like a Bills game type of thing anyway…that’s another stadium I should make a point to get to. Maybe week 1 or 2 next year so it isn’t cold as shit
‘I see everything twice!’
Pandemonium broke loose in the ward again.
The leader of this team of doctors was a dignified, solicitous
gentleman who held one finger up directly in front of Yossarian and
demanded, ‘How many fingers do you see?’
‘Two,’ said Yossarian.
‘How many fingers do you see now?’ asked the doctor, holding
up two.
‘Two,’ said Yossarian.
‘And how many now?’ asked the doctor, holding up none.
‘Two,’ said Yossarian.
The doctor’s face wreathed with a smile. ‘By jove, he’s
right,’ he declared jubilantly. ‘He does see everything twice.’
What?
What?

I think Crabtree bitched out of that fight.
I was lucky enough to see most of that fight from about 15 yards away, and it was pretty much as close to a real fight as I’ve seen in football.
You know…there has to be a way to shove more people on the sidelines.
Beer…making you see double since yes.
See, cuz alteregos…
UVa/Wisconsin
First one to 40 wins? (Please?)
And who the hell was the genius that matched these two up to begin with. Holy shit.

This double posting is getting out of hand.
Aaaaaand Twins!
Damn, I had so much fun at the Raiders game I was considering getting a ticket for Cowboys@Raiders in a few weeks. Unfortunately, tickets for that game are way more expensive. Maybe I’ll check again if the Raiders lose next week.
“Be true to our core values”
The fact any NCAA coach can say that is just fucking amazing to me.
The core value is slavery, which they seem very committed to.
Core values of exploiting child labor and being neanderthals in everyway. Penn State did a pretty good job of living their core values.
Dabo spelled backwards is “O bad”.
This man looks like an extra from Deliverance.

Weird glitch, hopefully temporary.
Just refresh the page and it’ll fix it, at least temporarily.
GHOST REPLY.
Anybody else’s reply button act weird? No. OK.
Steve Young is the white Mormon version of Shannon Sharpe.
I cannot understand a single thing coming out of his mouth and the fact he is paid to talk is dumbfounding to me.
I’m not entirely convinced the shithead JSD interviewed isn’t getting hired just because he’s an unprofessional idiot. That describes just about everyone I know and myself.
It doesn’t matter if he gets hired or not.
The first time he learns his toilet is shitting in a slag pit in the middle of a steel mill in Bangledesh, momma’s boy is going to run home crying.
Fair enough. On that note, I dread the equivalent shocker I get at the next job.
DABO DABO DABO
This is the first time Flacco has ever played with this receiving corp right?
Like they have never been in the same room before and there is a language barrier between them?
They only respond to snap counts in Esperanto.
Here come the Spurs. Witness ME
No one wants to look at Maine
Tarheel triple for the lead!
Always a bad thing to say.
Are you being ridden like a horse by a dominatrix?
Oh, you mean the TEAM. My bad.
In that order?
Order?
“OH. OH! THAT’S GOOD HUSTLE. THIS MOOSE IS ONE OF THOSE AMPHIBIOUS TYPES, HE CAN USE BOTH HANDS SIMULTANEOUSLY.”
/slaps Moose on ass. Hard.
He probably owes you some dog food now.
Moose WAS edging until slapped, damn it.
Need?
Wiped it on LemonJello’s shirt. I think it was a shirt anyway.
That’s the 2nd time Flacco’s knee brace failed in a slide. Much like his career is finishing.
“Dabo” should not be a legal name for a human.
It’s cute that you think he’s a human.
Do i have ot keep pushing the new comments button to get them to show up? I feel like a rat pushing a button for bourble.
Dance, monkey.
Yessir you do. Hope you are well.
How is this different from any other night…for any of us?
or refresh…. or change your panties…..
And also I have missed you lovable bastards. Also, I have an Apple Watch, don’t judge. The Mickey Mouse face tells you the time when you push the screen!
How is it going?
Ohhhh, ya know…..
It’s going well, my job is great and kids are fine. Finished football season and now I hae to watch the lil bastards play hoops – and they are much better than I ever was. I sucked ass.
How’s by you?
Job sucks/ sometimes good…… that is about it. Glad you murdered brain cells on teh cruise.
Why do I have a star under my avatar and it says I’m an active member? You can ask my wife no one has ever called me active.

Maybe you posted the Secret Word at some point….

That’s a little past my time, I was thinking along these lines….
Oh yeah and I missed out on submitting for an $85K RFP because those incompetent ape fucking assholes at FedEx fucking got to the box late.
Nothing like coming back from a vacation – alcohol soaked cruise – and have to tell your boss “Uh, der. Me no not how make box go to other guy.”
Fuck FedEx.
So…. if you are banging Shania Twain on a dog sled, and a husky’s cold nose touches your butthole unexpectedly and makes you jump/come….. how much dog food do you buy? For the dog, that is.
That one’s for the thinkers.
I PROLLY SHOULD’NT’A BROUGHT UP A HYPOTHETICAL CANADIAN PHILOSOPHY QUESTION HERE.
All of it?

Fucking please. Ruffing the passer? HOW IN THE MOTHERFUCKING GODDAMN HELL DO YOU STOP YOURSELF? HOW?

The NFL is considering a new rule where if Tom Brady kicks a defensive lineman it counts as going low on the quarterback.

“Some of the best work of Terrell Suggs is the work you don’t see.”
I always wondered why people said similar things about Mr. Cosby for the longest time.
Is that a dig at his dentist?
Leave the Novocaine, please
Also the motto for the Darren Sharper foundation.
You know who got screwed but get lost in the shuffle?
His former cast members. I’m sure they were getting fantastic royalties from the Cosby show for rebroadcasts.
That shit is completely gone now.
We have enough lawyers here. Could they sue him?
Malcolm Jamal Warner was particularly pissed if I remember right.
See, the key to keeping your show on air is to have your side character scream racial epithets.
Holy crap. He pulled a McNair! The Super Bowl play, assholes. The Super Bowl play.
Well, to be fair someone pulled on McNair, not the other way around.
Fun Fact: that smug GMC Black Friday lording-it-over-your-neighbor shit is why Rand Paul has broken ribs right now.
A commercial is telling me that 3 billboards is the best thing ever. Should I believe?
No.
Only if they are for Hooters
“WE ARE JUST ROOMMATES, DAMN IT!!”
If I’ve learned anything from baseball, it’s that you gotta believe
Nonsense. Clearly FIVE billboards is superior
At what point is there diminishing marginal returns on the number of billboards? I say twelve.
Did you like Fargo? Very similar to Fargo in tone and humor. We saw it this weekend and we both really enjoyed it.
7 Nation Army chant…yet another reason to detest the Ravens fan base…
Or 75% of sprots franchises…and that’s lowballing.
Only the Ravens fanbase act like they originated the chant.
Hell they claim they wrote the damn song…
Oh, over at Raw, they finally started to pull the trigger on Broken Matt Hardy. Not fully, but it wasn’t a subtle reference.
Rare 4-3 Cover Derp call…
fuck you wordpress here’s words then so it’s not a duplicate comment you fuckwads
Holy shit does Flacco truly suck donkey dick.
No, he’s deep-throating that donkey at this point.
Flacco: “I’m gonna put a little extra vanilla on this one.”
Joe Flacco’s favourite ice cream flavour is just shaved ice cubes.
Not unless they are at room temperature…
What are you trying to kill him?!?
Ice spheres. The cubes have edges.
2 games each for Talib and Crabtree! One for each chain.
and they tacked on 2 more for Zeke to be dicks.
And James Harrison got fined $250k.
I’m sure he did something to deserve it.
Those participation trophies are EXPENSIVE, man. Can’t confiscate those without consequences.
Inexplicably, Pacman Jones was at yet another strip club shooting and had a bone headed penalty at the end of a game, but yeah…nothing from Marvin Lewis or the NFL.
And an extra game for Burfict and Harrison out of habit.
And one for Jenny and the wimp!

Gruden: “I’m the stupidest person that ever stupided.”
I want Tennessee to throw all their dollars at making him their new coach.

Is that is possible?
It wasn’t.
