Your “The Official Flavour Of The 2017 NY Giants” Monday Night Football Open Thread

NFL News:

  • The expected became fact this morning, as Ben McAdoo & GM Jerry Reese were both fired by the Giants.
    • Reese can claim to at least have contributed to the Giants recent Super Bowls, so his tenure wasn’t an abject failure but simply a collective one.
    • Steve Spagnuolo will be the interim replacement.
  • GRONK MAD ABOUT CHEAP SHOTS & BAD CALLS!
    • According to Deadspin, after the game Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott mentioned the incident to New England counterpart Bill Belichick, who “apologized and said the play was ‘bullshit’.”
      • Mark the date: Grumblelord felt bad for something.
    • The Patriots await the inevitable suspension (probably one game), saying “we control what we can control”.
  • Everything’s covered in the opening sentence from ESPN:
    • Baltimore Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith, who suffered a season-ending Achilles injury Sunday, has been suspended four games for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing substances, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
  • In case you missed it, the Silverdome implosion went hilariously wrong.
    • According to CNN, only the kicker charges detonated, meaning the implosion did not take place.
      • The Washington Post said that, according to demolition company Adamo, “10 percent of the explosive charges in eight key locations failed to go off because of a wiring issue”.
    • The hope is that it can be removed soon, because the City of Pontiac has BIG PLANS for its redevelopment.
      •  The site’s eventual redevelopment “will be one of the economic opportunities that are marking a new era for the City of Pontiac,” the mayor’s office said.
    • The plan is to use excavators this week to take down the structure. Unless gravity does its thing, of course.

Finally, we are all in mourning at DFO today, after Marcus Peters returned BLEERGH to his home planet.

We anticipate his swift return, and hope that his time with the Elder Ones doesn’t bring tonight’s matchup to a frightening conclusion. It always breaks my heart when you see family photos and you know one of the people is missing.

Come back soon, big guy.


There was a larger-than-normal collection of the Jesus freaks out last night at the Seahawks game. It seemed a little odd – usually, I see them before the afternoon kickoff, because we heathens have spent the morning in Bacchus’ palace rather than the Lord’s temple. Methinks they were out due to the national broadcast & hopes they could get into a crowd-shot before the game.

    

And along with attention whores came an attention whore’s whore.

Dude, you guys won. Stay home. But I think I’ve seen your flag somewhere before…


Game preview: Steelers at Bengals

I think we all know what we’re expecting tonight,

  

But we probably won’t get it. The Bengals are on the outside of the playoff chase at 5-6, and need a win to keep their math alive. If they were right out of it, maybe then we’d get more of the Pacman & Burfict Show. But they are going so far to humanize this game, Peter King sent an intern out to Cincinnati to lovingly cup Burfict’s balls. (That’s what I guess – I’m not actually going to watch it.) However, a silver lining could be that losing this game might finally put an irremovable target on coach Marv Lewis’ back, and bring the changes Bengals fans long for. But not too much change; Mike Brown is still the GM, and change costs money.

The Steelers can’t afford to roll with the cheap shots either. They need a win to keep pace with the Patriots, lest they want to go to Foxboro in January. Ben needs to stay upright, and Le”Veon Bell needs more work on his ground game. They could probably sit Antonio Brown and still be fine, but he’s so enjoyable to watch it’d be a crime to not keep him active. Plus, he’ll give the Bengals’ safeties fits, and that might be the spark that leads to greater conflict. On the whole, expect lots of this,

and few actual punches. A convincing win and no injuries will make this the best-case scenario for the Steelers tonight.

Stupid sexy saints.

WCS

Stillers might have won this battle, but, they may lose the war. Ryan Shazier has no feeling below his waist. There’s A LOT of other injuries, that would otherwise highlight the ticker. Talk about Pyrrhic Victories. Just go ahead and crown New England out of the AFC.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I don’t know why I let myself be optimistic that CIN might win. It’s the FUCKING BENGALS,, what the fuck did I expect? Maybe the Ravens will put an end to this nonsense next week.

King Hippo

I put half of my push money on Philly (+2.5 @ RRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!!) and the other on NC State (-6 vs. Sparky in Sun Bowl). Because when you’re pissed off and hate everything, you should always make MOAR financial moves.

BTW, Yinzers making it waaaaayyyy down my list of “acceptable NFL franchises.”

ballsofsteelandfury

Just now?

King Hippo

Le’Veon and Coach Epps kept them in the mid-teens for quite a spell.

They are slightly above the P*triots in my book.

Brick Meathook

Are Suzy and Charles Woodson drunk or something? This post-game show is just awkward. I think Steve Young is drunk from thinking about alcohol.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Suzy and Charlie tipped a couple back from The Suzy Flask.

Well, at least Gronk will be back from suspension in two weeks for the Steeler game.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Fucking ginger QBs rarely come through in the clutch. Why is that?

ballsofsteelandfury

Duh, no souls.

SonOfSpam

Need a soul to be clutch. Science.

Wakezilla

Only in the CFL.

Wakezilla

Did you see how all the Bengals rushed the kicker? Tomlin should have called a fake field goal and won on a TD. SMH. There’s just something about that guy…

SonOfSpam

He seems to lack some…necessities to be a good coach.

Viva La Tabula Raza

FUCK YOU ROETHLISBERGER GO RUN FOR A SENATE SEAT IN ALABAMA!!!

SonOfSpam

He doesn’t like ’em young, just unwilling.

ballsofsteelandfury

People forget that.

SonOfSpam

i mean come on

“AFC North football. Like how I treat women in the bathroom. Tough, merciless, concussed, sperm.”

Brick Meathook

“We’re excited to hear about the injuries. Prayers. AFC North football.”

SonOfSpam

Yeah, not a lot of neurons firing right now.

The Maestro

Right now?

Doktor Zymm

Welp, I just watched that. I CAN’T UNWATCH IT.

ballsofsteelandfury

Jesus that was ugly. I hope everyone is ok.

SonOfSpam

I’m fine, thanks. Are you still hungover?

Viva La Tabula Raza

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT.

SonOfSpam

LOL prolly woulda missed from 5 yards back

King Hippo

you know, morons, this isn’t a chip shot in the rain. Just make ’em kick it

Mr. Ayo

Fucking Bengals.

SonOfSpam

“Jon, the rain appears to be…chocolate???”

Wakezilla

Burfect is going to RKO the kicker out of nowhere

SonOfSpam

That would be fine.

Horatio Cornblower

BAH-GAWD!!!! THAT’S BURFICT’S MUSIC!!!!

Senor Weaselo

This should end like a Smash Bros. sudden death, with Bob-ombs raining upon the players.

King Hippo

Why is Cincy calling timeout when they don;t have 3? They can’t force anything except letting PIT get closer.

Wakezilla

Want the ball back with more time

King Hippo

But there will be none regardless

Wakezilla

Yeah, so it seems. TV execs told them to run closer to 9/11/12?

Viva La Tabula Raza

The Steelers, The.

I see Witten’s been traded to the Lions…

Horatio Cornblower

Mike Brown’s desperately hoping for OT so he can reopen the beer tents.

Redshirt

Uh, I know how this will end.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Fuck. Two goddam weeks in a row they should have lost and are once again gonna win. Fuck.

Wakezilla

Let their confidence grow, so they hilariousy get curbed stomped in the playoffs

Viva La Tabula Raza

Full disclosure, I’m rooting for Bengals in my capacity as a Pats fan. But I HAVE hated the Steelers since the 1970s,

The good news is that Burfict is off the stretcher and roaming around the stadium.

The bad news is that Burfict is off the stretcher and roaming around the stadium!!!!

King Hippo

well, I’ll at least push on my over bet unless there’s a 20-all tie or walk-off safety

The Maestro

God damn, the Bengals are unbelievable. Unbelievably dirty, that is.

Redshirt

Yeah and the Steelers are saints.

ballsofsteelandfury

Or the Patriots…

Viva La Tabula Raza

Let’s see. Bengals drive down and shank winning field goal as time expires, go on to lose in OT. WHO’S WITH ME HERE?!?!

deviantBastard

I’d drink to that if I had any quality liquor.

Mr. Ayo

As long as PIT doesn’t cover, I’M IN!

SonOfSpam

Game ends in a tie, not because time runs out in overtime, but because everyone ded

SonOfSpam

Just wanted to check in to reiterate that Antonio Brown is a tough little motherfucker.

litre_cola

Could we have this as a playoff game please?

Horatio Cornblower

No one’s gonna be left.

Horatio Cornblower

Gruden hates seeing this kind of football, but he was just jerking off over Ju-Ju’s second nasty block on a blind-sided Bengals player.

SonOfSpam

The crowd was saying “Ju-urns” (ain’t scrollin down to see who I plagiarized)

King Hippo

oh just fuck everything on this piece of shit planet

Viva La Tabula Raza

Well there’s the retaliation.

Horatio Cornblower

They, uh, they might want to just call this game. Someone is literally going to die in the next four minutes.

Doktor Zymm

Hell, move em to different divisions

Horatio Cornblower

“Rothlisberger is in his element here…a filthy bathroom in a dive bar in Georgia, facing down a shit-faced co-ed who may or may not be of age to be in said bar.”

Vontaze is dead. On the cart they were holding up his arm to make it look like he was alive and waving.
