Your “The NFL Presents: The Unwatchables!” Football Open Thread

Some of our brethren are enjoying the sweaty, seedy favours of the fine town of Las Vegas this weekend. Say a prayer for them, will you? Here’s hoping none of them are flying back home wearing nothing but a barrel held up by suspenders. I wonder what they’ll be doing this afternoon… TO THE GAMES!

SF/CHI: The Niners are going ahead with their plan to be led by a 40-ish female comedian into the future. Somehow the Bears have fooled 3 separate teams into losing to them. Three! How they did that, I’ve no ideer. Probably involves mirrors or some such.

DEN/MIA: These two squadoos have chalked up 12 consecutive losses between them. Woot! Somebody will waddle out of this fixture with a W. A W that means nothing to no one.

TB/GB: Qb Winston is back from a shoulder ouchie and he faces a generous secondary that hands out an average of 304 yards thru the air over the last 5 games. His counterpart Hundley gets to wrestle with the league’s very worst 3rd down D. Plenty to not watch here.

KC/NYJ: Coachella Reid has magically transformed a 5-0 start into a 6-5 miasma. But lo, Revis Island will halt the skid, won’t he. Nope. The Jets are the Jets that we’ve all come to point and laugh at.

IND/JAX: The Jags have themselves a comfy three game homestand at just the right time as they tussle with the Titans for the leadership of the AFC South.

DET/BAL: Both teams are 6-5-the Ravens own the last playoff spot in the AFC and the Lions are just one game behind the Falcons for the coveted “last tean in” designation.

NE/BUF: You can do this, Bills! (they will not)

HOU/TEN: Qb Savage’s practice of charging the opposing team 100 smackers for every turnover he commits has netted him a sweet $1200 over his last 6 games. I’m guessing he’s taking the Titans and the points today so that he can increase his wallet bulge.

MIN/ATL: After crafting a 7 game win spree despite a 2-2 start the Vikes are just one game behind Philly for home field advantage throughout the post-season. Them Falcons are holding onto the last spot with a tenuous grip.

Makea da noise down below.

YES. We CAN still fuck this up, but it would take a lot of work.

Mr. Raccoon will eat human trash; ADVANTAGE; Mr. Raccoon!

Personal Foul: Intercepting a Tom Brady pass.

and

Personal Foul: Getting your upper back in the path of Gronk’s falling elbow.

Horatio Cornblower

Foul against the official for suggesting the perhaps they’re not calling a fair game because Gronk is still in the game despite stabbing three of your teammates.

rockingdog

Nice! Best of 60 Minutes special episode!!! Everybody who gonna watch that say YEAAAAAA!!!!

King Hippo

BFC got what he asked for!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Nothing less than what the Bears deserve

Missed the fucking barn door again.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

ON A BOAT YO!

Redshirt

Oh, my God. I’m surprised the Ref could speak clearly with his mouth full of the Patriots’ soon-to-be deflated balls.

King Hippo

PLEASE GOD don;t let me lose due to Tyreek. He’s been killing my soul for weeks.

Horatio Cornblower

Gronk should’ve been tossed out of the game.

Unsurprised

Agreed.

Also, I bet he did something bad this time.

rockingdog

Not lookin good for the Gronk

Redshirt

Yup.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Some muted Chiefs fans’ happiness on this flight out of Denver

Horatio Cornblower

I think a couple of Gronk’s next game checks are getting donated to Goodell’s favorite charity.

So Mrs. Goodell.

King Hippo

WOO!!!! I needed that Dreamboat pick too

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Get the ball to Kelce to make up for Davante and Jordan Howard sucking today

litre_cola

You shut your whore mouth.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Tiny Hands (non Cheeto edition) shut it for me

Redshirt

Gronk just speared a player.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Untreated syphilis is a hell of a disease.

Redshirt

True. Or so I’ve heard.

King Hippo

Minny can take a knee. Nicely done.

litre_cola

Gronk just went mad.

hippofant

But he’s such a lovable frat boy!

King Hippo

#Dyanetics!!

Niners looking….competent? Temporarily?

King Hippo

That’s what happens when it’s NOT Davante, ASSHOLES

Redshirt

Oh, now I see why Jameis is a moe-ron. Wow.

Shogun Marcus

Now?!

Unsurprised

I started watching a new show on Amazon, but it was too energetic and happy for me to bear.

rockingdog

Guy Should I stay with Cam Newton vs The saints or switch it to Carson Wentz vs. Seattle Seahawks?

Unsurprised

I like Cam, but go with Wentz

rockingdog

Thanks. Gonna do it. If eagles win they clinch.

Redshirt

On the bright side, Petersen didn’t throw it to the wrong team. Progress?

King Hippo

Hold ’em P*ts!!

/don’t need Dreamboat throwing

Horatio Cornblower

Same

Shogun Marcus

Insurmountable.

Brick Meathook

Wow that Applebees commercial made me hungry!

That’s the talent of professional food photographers, who can even make boiled slop look good,

King Hippo

fuck. now I want me some boiled slop!!

King Hippo

TD anyway. Now throw to Davante, ASSHOLES

GODDAMMIT!!!

Also; who is playing in the Taco Bowl??

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Takin’ our bowl jerbs!!

Senor Weaselo

What about the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl Sponsored By the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

That’s a good bowl; attended by tens of people.

hippofant

Boy, now it’s like they never needed to bench Taylor for Peterman anyways.

King Hippo

Tyrod ded? J Peterman??

King Hippo

he at Donks/Fish?

herodotus450

We can never know for sure, but the idea of Tosh never being accussed of Louis C.k.-like behavior is so… something. Some literary device… Synechdoche? Trochaic?

Brick Meathook

Synechdoche? I sat through that whole movie and i still don’t know what that word means. Where’s Spike Jonze when you need him?

Shogun Marcus

His shtick finally mature too?

litre_cola

Denver’s defense is so good, and their offense is just awful

Brick Meathook

Jimmy Carter is in the building! Repeat, Jimmy Carter is in the building!

Is he near Fran Tarkenton? Does he know Fran Tarkenton is there?

We’ll look into that! WE WILL LOOK INTO THAT! BACK TO YOU!

King Hippo

Holy shit!!

Redshirt

Thanks to Trump, he is no longer the modern-day worst President ever!

Redshirt

I stand by my comment.

Redshirt

Scotch, I’m sorry, but I’m not in the mood to fool around!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Well you’re wrong but entitled to your opinion

Redshirt

Its a close race, but Carter is slightly worse than Bush.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Not even close, but entirely makes sense you hold this opinion.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

That figures.

King Hippo

Catlerception FOAR SIX!!

litre_cola

Hanson with the “Shankoppotumus” reference.

Redshirt

Oh, now I get it. The Committee choose the Bowls. Now it makes sense.

King Hippo

They matched up with SC. It’s clearly the best game.

Redshirt

Not pissed about the matchup (Pac-10+2 vs Big 10 all day, everyday). But Dec. 29 does seem weird. Normally Ohio State plays on Dec. 29 if they lost to Michigan and didn’t win the conference.

King Hippo

That part is weird, blame it on contracts and teevee

Redshirt

Case in point: Michigan lost to Ohio State and they’re going to Outback Bowl. Normally the Outback Bowl has the OSU/MICH loser penciled in.

litre_cola

Why the fuck do I always think Tampa is going to be good??????

Unsurprised

Brain tumor?

King Hippo

Tyreek? On my bench. FUUUUUCCCCCKKKK

litre_cola

Not Litre! Did start Jameis tho in my 2 money leagues.

Horatio Cornblower

On the field for me boy!

King Hippo

I get it. You two ain’t STOOPID liek me.

Redshirt

Ohio State got a Dec. 29 Bowl. UCF got an Jan. 1 Bowl.

The American Athletic Champion got picked over the Big Ten Champion.

King Hippo

Seriously?? How do they not get the “New Year’s Six” bid??

Redshirt

Technically it is a New Year’s Six. So I must have missed the memo where Dec. 29 became New Year’s Eve Eve Eve.

King Hippo

yeah, it’s the de facto Rose Bowl since the Rose is a playoff match

herodotus450

Rose, Orange, Sugar, Cotton (osu v. usc), Peach, and Fiesta are the 6 I think. And, most importantly, they all have the same $$$$ payout.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Big Ten Champion got smoked by Iowa. IOWA!!

Redshirt

Moral of the story: Do not challenge yourself with quality opponents. Feast on the cupcakes.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

If you look closer at opponent by opponent the strength of schedule is close. Iowa is not a quality opponent. THEE Ohio State is not as good as Alabama (not that that I support either team; in fact I just have ill will for both). The only other thing I root for is after selection fan bases and sports media get butt-hurt.

Redshirt

Well then you’re a very, happy Moose. I just hate Alabama, and I don’t like the fact that they lost and got in with a bye week.

Senor Weaselo

UCF gets a New Year’s Six automatically due to highest ranked non-power team.

King Hippo

Keenum to Thielen PLS

King Hippo

Canyanero? YA!!!

Gratliff

For a full half, even.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

The Robbie Gould outscoring the Bears outcome is looking more and more likely…

Brick Meathook

Fran Tarkenton is in the building! Repeat, Fran Tarkenton is in the building!

THAT’S INCREDIBLE
