Your “Playoffs? Fantasy Playoffs!?” Sunday Funday NFL Football Open Thread

Unless you’re in a lesser league that actually has a championship in week 17 when playoff-bound teams are resting their stars or getting them off the field as quickly as possible, your fantasy dream of winning a non-existent-in-real-life trophy begins for serious today. I’m not under much pressure in one money league, having finished 9th and all but in t’udder one I’m up against the #2 seed who takes this stuff far too seriously. I’ve pondered it for a bit now and I’m going to do it-I’M STARTING WORLD ACCORDING TO GARPOLLO OVER CAM! I figure that either way I’ll have a tale to tell to whatever disinterested sap I corner at the next family get-together. Kidding! Why would I talk about that crap IRL? TO THE GAMES!

Ind/Buf: The Bills rushing O is ranked 8th and rb McCoy should have no problem getting going against a Colts team that gave up the ghost well before Halloween. Qb Peterman is back to distribute the ball equally between both teams.

Chi/Cin: This one looks like a keeper. This tilt is between the two worst offenses yards per game-wise in the whole of the league. Maybe TruthBiscuit will pass more than 12 times!

GB/Cle: The Pack can say they’re in the playoff hunt at 6-6 with the Cowboys and the Lions despite the fact that Seattle and Carolina are 8-4 and Atlanta sits at 7-5. I guess YA GOTTA BRIE-LIEF! The Brownskis are running out of chances to insert a 1 into the W column.

Oak/KC: Flag-heaving cb Peters is out for this battle of the .500’s. Wr Cooper is still out as well but Crabtree is back and should be matched against not-quite-in-game-shape-just-yet cb Revis. Can qb Carr get his first win at Arrowhead?

Dal/NYG: Eli is back in the saddle again-can he be the next Rocking Horse Winner? D.H. Lawrence says the odds are slim. But who knows, maybe the Giants players have a little “Fuck You, McAdoo!” tucked away in their arsenal.

Det/TB: The Leos have frittered away a comfy 6-4 record by losing their last two. Qb Stafford’s hand was not able to dodge a Ravens’ cleat last week but Fatty has been avoiding questions about his damaged appendage all week long. Apparently he practiced on Friday so the Jake Rudock Era will just have to wait for at least another 7 days.

Min/Car: The Keenum/Thielin combo has been quite the revelation this year and rb Murray is starting to reap the benefits-he’s tallied over 75 yards rushing over his last 3 outings. The Panthers have won 4 of 5 but the sked (Saints last week, Minny today) is doing them no favours whatsoever.

SF/Hou: 2-10 vs. 4-8? No thank you! (Go Jimmy, Go!)

Tap away Gents/Ladies.

Butt Oscar.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

You’ll never have any credibility for claims like this unless you post your source.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Alicia Witt? Oh, I’m familiar with her oeuvre.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

She was great in Justified.

Shogun Marcus

Meredith Baxter-Birney? Fran Drescher? OOH JEAN STAPLETON! No, MINDY COHN!!!

Gratliff

As much as I hate Fran Drescher, seeing her in The Hollywood Knights was revelatory. Of course, it was also made 3 years before I was born, so not as nice as it could have been.

Gratliff

“JPP has injured his hand in a different way” as though he’s lighting fireworks in the locker room and we weren’t sure

Gratliff

What the fuck straight red buffalo is some high school football bullshit

Senor Weaselo

Did the Star Wars ad just tell us to not post Star Wars spoilers? But how else will everyone know that Rosebud is Luke’s father?

Sharkbait

I think the tie ins for this movie are a bit ridiculous this time around

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I love that I have to leave a detailed note out by the power meter explaining to the meter reader how to do his job.

Gratliff

Love these 1 game time slots. Time for Carolina to do me a solid all these years later.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Man, it’s pathetic how low my tolerance is these days. Last night I finished off the last bits of a bottle of scotch and from the way I’m feeling this morning you’d think the bottle had started off full.

Watching Star Wars III. Dear God, did it suck.

Humpback? People?

If Star Trek IV was right, the whales would’ve said, “Kill them! Kill them all! They deserve it!”

Why would you do that to yourself?

VII was better than I though (though it was a reinterpretation of IV), and early reviews has VIII as good as V

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

But then they couldn’t bitch on the interwebs.

Redshirt

I’m preparing myself for the Bengals game?

Gratliff

There was extactly one thing worth watching the prequels for: The Darth Maul fight which is maybe the best fight of the entire saga, and Darth Maul really was the Boba Fett of the prequels given how little time he was actuallyaround vs. how bad ass he was. The Yoda fights haven’t aged as well, and the Grievous thing was massively disappointing given how badass he was in the Clone Wars cartoons.

All the same, my ass will be there watching it on a crazy large screen in 3D on opening night, being equal parts amazed by the visuals and angry that I’m not watching the Timothy Zahn trilogy. RIP Extended Universe.

Sharkbait

Posting up at the giants bar. There’s guy here with a bag on his head.

All plans for this morning were cancelled due to the power being out from 0730-1030. No power, might as well stay in bed. So, just enough time to make breakfast, get caught up here, and make an “well, it’s past noon in the Eastern time zone” cocktail.

Sharkbait

You wait till noon?

Only when I oversleep.

Who did City draw against?

EVERTON believe it or not. At home, even.

Whatever happened to “My Body, My Choice!”?

Warning, don’t look at the tweets resulting in her taking her life. Unless you want to lose your faith in humanity.

Spur

I belive porn actors aren’t the mentally healthiest people.

Redshirt

Yup. From what I read about her childhood, part of me hope at the last split second, the Holy Spirit gave her a chance for an absolution so she could enter Heaven because she’s suffered enough.

(and yes, I know she killed herself, but as a Christian, I’m taught that Jesus Christ died for all of our sins. We don’t know what happens at the last second, but I know in my heart He wouldn’t turn down a hurting soul in need and I don’t know a soul in more need that that.)

King Hippo

I agree that God, being absolutely just and merciful, takes our circumstances into account and only “judges” anyone once they see truth “perfectly” with earthly prejudices and unknowables stripped aside.

Let God be God and do all the judging, we are just to extend love and compassion.

King Hippo

Revolting. People are the worst. Porn actresses are human beings and independent professionals – not pieces of meat.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

What faith?

Redshirt

You make a valid point.

Shogun Marcus

We watch the nfl…abandoning faith is price of admission.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I have faith that humanity will do what it always has, except with more technology.

Shogun Marcus

Tech and efficiency.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Yes, good point; we are shitting our bed with much greater efficiency.

Senor Weaselo

Peterman starting for the Bills in the snow? Just a guess, he will not throw the ball. Ever.

Pcp makes one do weird shit.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I don’t think Hippo takes PCP, but his regular mix combined with gamboling could have a similar affect.

King Hippo

hey, I only have FOUR BETS this week, I think Hippo is gliding back softly to reality here!

whispers bet bet bet bet bet!

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

needz moar drugs then. do you have similar implements in your back yard?

King Hippo

NOPE, townhouse now. Que lastima. Can’t even piss off mah back porch like a real Son of the South no more.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

DAMN IT.

King Hippo

Also, I do indeed not taking MOAR DRUGS at university, when nothing was really at stake. Never went beyond demon weed, and only did that when offered at parties. Only time I bought it was $6 off a redneck cousin my freshman year, to help out the dorm floor.

We smoked that out of a Coke can/tinfoil contraption.

The moral of the story is FUCK LIFE

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

We’ll just say I *experimented* and *partied* luckily without addiction; never did like the pharmaceutical stuff, except way back when I took a Quaaludes (methaqualone) a couple of times.

Now it is a little alcohol and weed.

King Hippo

I bet ludes would be pretty great

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Seemed so at the time:
“In prescribed doses, Quaaludes promotes relaxation, sleepiness and sometimes a feeling of euphoria. It causes a drop in blood pressure and slows the pulse rate. These properties are the reason why it was initially thought to be a useful sedative and anxiolytic.”

litre_cola

Same as me my friend, minus the ludes, now it is demon weed and booze as well.

King Hippo

Weed now is a migraine trigger for me so tis pills and occasional light boozing. I can’t handle it in large doses anymore. Still enjoy a couple gins and tonic(s) when forced to do company functions. CLASSY.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

IN A REAL GLASS GLASS.

*Snoopy glass from Arby’s.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

My consumption desire/ ability/ tolerance is about a tenth or less of what it used to be.

King Hippo

holy shit, imagine if beer tasted this good back when we had the prior consumption triggers. We’d all likely be ded.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Also I’m thinking Texas or New Mexico.

theeWeeBabySeamus

No action for me today. Not yet at least.
I’m still too annoyed about Thursday.

Off to beer store now.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Is your Fleshlight in the washer?

Shogun Marcus

In response to Hippos weather question, it would appear snow will be in the Cleved Land.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yay snow game

King Hippo

no snow in Manc-land

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Who got busted for coke?

Shogun Marcus

Mark Davis? Irsay?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Oh, you meant weather type SNOW…… my bad.

Also; Mark Davis on coke? That strikes me as fucking hilarious.

King Hippo

I mean, ALL THE RETARD STRENGTH (no ofence)

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

*No fences were harming in the making of this comment.

I’m really glad Ted Ginn netted me less than 3 points Thursday. That means I need Jordan Howard to actually be featured in a Bears offense that can move forward.

Senor Weaselo

So, when I got home last night I learned that Hermana Weaselo spun out in the snow last night. Car may be totaled but she is fine.

ballsofsteelandfury

Damn! Your family does NOT have good luck with cars!

Glad she’s ok.

So you’re saying she….weaseled her way out safely?

Or better yet – get her a beer dispenser AND Extra beer 🙂 .. that or an automated beer brewing kit 😉

(Btw, you may want to ignore my advice, because I’m crazy enough to have given a Makita power tool set for the wife for her b-day XD )

King Hippo

Dude, how’d you draw with Saints? Things had been looking good until last weekend.

litre_cola

Because he is now affiliated with DFO

bk109

No idea, probably it’s karma for LOUDLY refusing to go X-mas shopping with mrs. bk109 yesterday XD
Btw, it may be the grim Gooner inside me, but it’s par for the course for ’em – give you a hint of living up to their potential before the annual holiday slump that gets them out of contention for anything.

Redshirt

Give her something nice in her favorite color. You know her favorite color, right?

LemonJello

Redshirt

Good. If she wears jewelry, I go with something in that color. That or a necklace with her birthstone.

LemonJello

So, would a Turnover Chain from Da U be acceptable?

King Hippo

dude, you’d be getting some legit tantric sex, chuh chuh

ballsofsteelandfury

My move in those situations is to ask the girl what she wants. Buy that but also buy something else that you think she will like. That way the pressure is off and even if she doesn’t like the second gift, you’re covered with the first.

Redshirt

For those looking for last minute betting tips, just remember the Bengals live to screw over their fans. Nothing would be more painful than to win three in a row, go into Week 17 8-7, only having to win to make the plays, and then promptly lose to Baltimore 2-0.

King Hippo

you’re on quite the covering rush, tho

BET BET BET BET BET!!!!
