So, I think I have the mood of the Commentists correct when I say that the only thing we hope for from today’s Conference title games is that Alabama gets kept out of the playoff, right? I forget who brought up Bamafreude last week & its relation to Patriots schadenfreude, but I agree with the general sentiment. It’s hard to say who’s more contemptible – Belichick or Saban. They’re both masters of fucking the rules, but Belichick at least has to worry about a capricious commissioner whereas Saban doesn’t have to worry about a salary cap.
I also kinda don’t want Wisconsin to get in, just so I don’t have to deal with a million cuts during the game to JJ Watt air-humping a Badger on the sideline. But that’s just me. However, if it came down to Alabama or Wisconsin then I say let JJ wreck another joint.

I’ll be at the night game in Seattle Sunday. Please note that I probably started drinking about 1:00PM, so am not responsible for whatever I say in the open thread.
So far Vegas and New Orleans and maybe Memphis are the only towns where I feel like I should smoke. Out of self defense mostly.
Cigarettes. We’re still talking cigarettes.
A lit cigarette as an effective weapon?
We bet an insane 6 team parlay for tomorrow.
If we win just open your windows.
You’ll hear us.
Details?
6 NFL teams tomorrow. I’m sure we’ve got the Vikes, Pack, Raiders, Jacksonville and it gets a little fuzzy after that.
TWBS has the money.
Wee trust him.
Impressive. When you hit it, the plan is to fly all of us out to celebrate right?
Oh heck yah!
We do?
Anyway, I’m drunk af so I guess it’s time to try this CBD oil.
My co-writers are idiots.
What did they do now?
Surprised it’s only 29 for the LOLphins
I had a productive work session: While my tutee worked on their essay, I was trolling the shit out of Ice Argos’ twitter. Holy shit, it was wild. Then when I had them frothing at the mouth, demanding to know who my favorite team was, I replied with “Oh, I only follow Junior A hockey.” LOL.
TBF, those fuckers deserved it.

Quick pause for readjustment in Vegas. Still have money, still have coherence but we’re down in numbers by half.
We must push on man! This town needs an enema!
To the sports book!
Money and coherence are good things! Though I notice dignity and self respect are absent…
Dignity and self-respect are useless.
duly noted.
The atrophy is clearly Litre’s fault
Where are you now?
At the Peppermill. Rat Pack Vegas style G!
Home from junior hockey. “Home” equals my brother’s house, and the teddy bear toss was a festival of bad arm strength.
Hot tip: sports + alcohol = fun.
Going out on a limb with that taek.
Speaking of the juniors, was just reading about Ty Ronning. I would very much like him to take after his father.
He’s a good kid. If they hadn’t moved the Vancouver franchise an hour away from my house I’d still be going to those games.
Both Ty and Cliff are great guys. I still can’t believe Benning didn’t draft Ty when he had the chance. I think Ty can have an OK career.
Isn’t he an overager? I’m hoping that’s not the reason for his success. It’s hard to follow juniors outside of the WJC here.
That was tonight? AH FUCK! It’s never this early. God damnit.
Drunk going through the comics…oh my god there are some terrible punishers. Like Punisher fights Santa Claus shit…

What a way with words.
What ever happened to MTWV?
Good question. Do we need a DFO In Memorium video for lost kommenters?
No.
The door only flies open in one direction.
Didn’t he say he was going to take a break from DFO?
