Your “When You’ve Squandered All You’ve Earned” Saturday Evening Open Thread

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.

My guess is that I.C.E. is having this game shown along the Rio Grande in order to drive potential migrants away.

Carolina @ New Orleans Joe Buck, Troy Aikman
NY Giants @ Oakland Kenny Albert, Ronde Barber

WHY THE FUCK would FOX punish St. Louis with the Rams game?

Well fuck

LemonJello

What’s going on in the ACC game?
/changes channel
Well, shit.

King Hippo

yeah, I’d advise forgetting there’s an ACC game (like Miami did)

Redshirt

I don’t want an artificial intelligence to know what I watch.

ArmedandHammered

Why it would make better inferences about what you would like to see than the current network morons. An AI would never have cancelled Firefly.

King Hippo

punt? You fat pussy

King Hippo

hey, good call, fat pussy!

King Hippo

Jesus, Fresno

ArmedandHammered

Yep. That was some shitty play calling.

ArmedandHammered

Ok, that was a bit of redemption.

King Hippo

at least they didn’t try kicking an 18-yard FG from the hash like moe-rons

ArmedandHammered

That is why that head coach would never make it in the NFL

King Hippo

Tedford didn’t make it at Cal, but I always liked him.

“Barrett… turns on the afterburners”
sometimes I don’t think Gus Johnson even cares what’s happening in the game, he’s just excited.

LemonJello

If those were his afterburners, Pratt & Whitney gots some splainin to do…

herodotus450

These afterburners, they stink! Instead of Skunkworks I should call you… well ok, that actually works.

Sharkbait

Northrup Grumman or GTFO

King Hippo

oh God, their DBs are white, too??

LemonJello

It IS Wisconsin.

Redshirt

That’ll do, blAndy. That’ll do.

No matter what crimes, past or present; known or unknown; punished or unpunished that Russia has committed, they don’t deserve any music of Shostakovitch to be used in some bullshit christmas car commercial. BUT ESPECIALLY WALTZ NO.2!

LemonJello

So, over/under on Barret’s knee going kersplodey?

King Hippo

I suspect it already did on scramble #1, he just don’t feel it through all the horse tranquilizers

Redshirt

Now let’s see if Barrett hasn’t regressed to blAndy Dalton.

King Hippo

3 games at simultaneous commercial

LemonJello

Mr. Winkles is not happy with his Wiscy brethren. CHOMPSNARLGROWL, indeed.

herodotus450

We replaced (insert Wisconsin coach name here) with Pete Carroll. Let’s see if anyone notices.

King Hippo

my PeyPey neck doctor gave me a new muscle relaxer to go with my usual smack – Skelaxin. Anybody use that before?

LemonJello

Skelaxin? Is that some weird combo of Skeletor and Skrillex’s jizz?

King Hippo

I….hope not?

/still, I likes mah drugs

herodotus450

“It makes your skeleton, relax! Skelaxin.”

King Hippo

c’mon, turnover chain fuckwads. You the Lesser Evil fer once.

rockingdog

Go Go WISCO!!!!!

herodotus450

Did that graphic just say Wisconsin’s rb has 1800 yards this season? It seems the Heisman Trophy has been narrowed from rbs and qbs to just qbs.

Sharkbait

Just like Superbowl MVPs

Well damn. Looks like the Tide will be rolling.

Sorry, America.

Redshirt

If OSU wins a close game.

Going out for some dranks. Back later, turdburgers.

Oh I’d trade all* my Baker Mayfield pun jokes for just one Travis Etienne joke to come together before the season is over.
*all in this case means 80% at most.

Barrett can’t run

Those Badgers walked him down, man. That ain’t good.

Oooooh, sorry. We were looking for advanced syphilis. Better luck next time.

If they just invite Kellyanne Conway to be a special guest I see no reason why this shouldn’t happen…

Redshirt

If we can get Trump, Ryan, Pelosi and Senator Turtle there…

King Hippo

Would it help you vote Demmycrat for Congress if the challenger candidates pledged to vote Diamond Joe Biden for Speaker? That way you need not worry about Pelosi in line of succession? Nice, safe placeholder bridge to 2020.

Redshirt

Yes

King Hippo

my shower political revelation worked!

Redshirt

I like Biden. I don’t agree with his politics but I feel he wants to do the right thing.

I would’ve voted for him if he ran last year.

King Hippo

Yeah, I feel like we could use a guy like that again, whatever his foibles.

Don’t tease me right now squirrel…

Even though they’s out of Watt’s, it’s nice to see they still have honky LBs of my approximate build and athleticism.

Oh, Football Gods, I hereby give you a Bengals sacrificial offering on Monday for a 77-0 Ohio State win. Not enough? Okay, 28-7. Still not enough? Alright, a win. Still not enough? Fine, a can of Cherry Coke. Fine! Room temperature is okay.

I am hoping Wiscy gets in (they would be a fun turd in the punch bowl), but if they don’t then Roll Damn Tide over tOSU.

I brought up Bamafreude. It’s the closest thing I have since Patriots Schadenfreude day is usually just a blackout day for me.
