Your “Ugh, Wasn’t 2017 The Worst?!” Black Monday Evening Open Thread

Hey 2017,

So, let’s see how 2018 is unfold–

  

Dammit! It hasn’t even been a whole day yet!


NFL Notes:

  • Friday announcements:
    • Seahawks CB Justin Coleman wasn’t fined for his leap into the Sally Ann kettle during the Hawks-Cowboys game last week.
    • Davante Adams signed a 4-year, $58 million extension with the Packers.
    • Andrew Luck says he’ll be ready to go in 2018.
  • This is delightful.

  • It’s “Black Monday” and we discovered which teams value employees over expediency in who and how they got fired after the season ended.
    • GONE!: (as of when I left Seattle Monday afternoon)
      • Chuck Pagano
      • Jack Del Rio
      • John Fox
      • Jim Caldwell
    • ”RETIRED!”:
      • Bruce Arians
      • Dom Capers
      • Dean Pees

I spent New Year’s in Seattle, visiting my brother & his wife after going to the Seahawks home finale. It sure was nice of the team to suck just enough that I didn’t have to worry about buying playoff tickets this year.

I will note the guy one section over from me who had a sweet hand-carved Seahawks helmet.

It should be fun watching the Seahawks  try to rebuild without imploding. I look forward to writing more scouting adventures with Pete Carroll & John Schneider.

  

Until then, I will entertain Twitter’s possible fates for Blair Walsh, who – if he was smart – just left the stadium in his uniform & never turned back.


Tonight’s sports:

  • NBA:
    • Raptors at Bucks – 7:30PM | Sportsnet
  •  NCAA:
    • Football:
      • Rose Bowl: Georgia vs. Oklahoma – 5:10PM | ESPN / TSN
      • Meteor Sugar Bowl: Alabama vs. Clemson – 8:50PM | ESPN / TSN
    • Men’s basketball:
      • West Virginia at Kansas State – 5:00PM | ESPNU
      • Texas at Iowa State – 7:00PM | ESPNU
      • Southern at Texas Southern – 9:00PM | ESPNU
  • WWE:
    • Monday Night Raw – 8:00PM | USA / Sportsnet360
      • the “Road to the Rumble” begins in earnest.

It’s nice that the Sugar Bowl and the “Anyone but ‘Bama!” mantra comes today, so I can get ready for the NFL playoffs & my prayers for “ANYONE BUT THE PATRIOTS!”

Folks

herodotus450

Som’ you boys took the under on this game? What was the thinking there, rust?

Spur

the under? OU scores and gives up alot of points

Wakezilla

Just like the Washington Generals, they were due!

theeWeeBabySeamus

UGa is more ground oriented, didn’t think they’d score this much this quickly.

Also figured their D would keep OU more in check. Which they have now that the under is ded, LOL.

That being said, I didn’t bet the o/u, but thought it was logical.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Maybe the Baker is concussed?

Georgia’s pushback has got to be winding up, so OU should be able to seize some momentum here

Guess OU just got to the stadium sooner than the bulldogs.

theeWeeBabySeamus

They sure as shit left sooner.

Hehehehe….Sooner.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I knew you’d get it.

rockingdog

woof woof

theeWeeBabySeamus

Womp womp.

But they should be getting tired soon from all that running into the endzone with the ball, right?
RIGHT??????????

Mr. Ayo

Never bet on a pretender

herodotus450

SEC Speeeeed, back? I only read the box score, I see lots of long runs.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Sometimes the wheels don’t just fall off, they fly off.

WCS

That’s not ideal.

woof woof!
hippo what say you?

theeWeeBabySeamus

UGa, if you cost me $1.1k (technically only cost $400, but still) and Hippos $2.5K….you better sure as shit bring the trophy home to Athens next week.

Mr. Ayo

Uh oh. Hippo ded

litre_cola

What was the line?

theeWeeBabySeamus

UGa -2.5 but I think Hippo got in at +3 foar OU.
Moneyline was +120 OU, which is what I bet.

Hippo diversified ATS and ML and o/u. Which is ded the next time someone scores. So it’s ded.

litre_cola

This type of thing never happens in European Luge.

Mr. Ayo

Depends. -2.5 UGa is what I’m seeing.
Also, the over already hit.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yup

It’s a fallen cake. Get it? Because the Baker ain’t doing so good suddenly?
Oh fuck you guys, that’s funny.

Disapproving head shake.

Mr. Ayo

JV NFL BLITZ!

WCS

Beat ya.

Mr. Ayo

I took my time on that one because I didn’t realize you were around.

WCS

3rd and 27? JV NFL BLITZ!

WCS

WVU is 12-1 (2-0), and on their longest winning streak in 29 years.

Track Suits host the Sooners, and the best player in the country, Drew Young, in Morganhole Saturday night.

O AN U NOE WCS GON DRAAAANNNKKKKKK

LemonJello

Boomer Sooner shot their wad too soon?

Mr. Ayo

Why didn’t they go for it?

LemonJello

Will Captain Blue Bunny be far behind?

rockingdog

Mr. Ayo

Mike McCarthy to replace him?

Hangover was waning… just in time for stop and go traffic to make me carsick!

King Hippo

Gonna have to prove he can throw downfield

theeWeeBabySeamus

He’s looking very Gennon-esque suddenly.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Dammit Hippo!!!!!!
😛

King Hippo

That stupid goddamned kickoff

LemonJello

Just keep ramming that Chubb into the hole as hard and fast as you can.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Mom?

King Hippo

fucking fuck, you fuckstains

King Hippo

SIGH

King Hippo

this needs to be a TD drive

theeWeeBabySeamus

Full Disclosure: I’m a UGa fan…only slightly lesser than my Wolven allegiance. But if they’re gonna lose anyway, I might as well get some damned money out of it.

Yay foar smart Hippo.

King Hippo

horse ain’t in the barn yet (stupid kickoff muthafucka)

Georgia’s halftime plans to level the playing field?

sad dog is sad. gonna get some snacks now.
hopefully 2nd half is better!

SonOfSpam

Best thing about Georgia or only good thing about Georgia?

...

Sad doggies aren’t a good thing. 🙁

theeWeeBabySeamus

Inorite?

– M. Vick with fingers crossed

King Hippo

cheerleaders are consistently to Hippo’s taste

/also Other Hippo’s!!

Wakezilla

Georgia’s kicker wears big black glasses? What a nerd!

SonOfSpam

Rumour from PK is that the Browns GM will definitely draft the Wyoming QB. Probably because he’s already wearing a brown uniform in college.

I guess this means Rosen goes to the Giants, which is fine since they have places to get a schmear.

So that just leaves the question of Sam Darnold…which team will the latest USC qb disappoint?

litre_cola

I didn’t know the Wyoming qb was a senior, he won Hippo and I some good money this year.

King Hippo

I don’t see a great NFL QB in him, surely not right away. Super raw.

SonOfSpam

Dunno if he’s a senior, but unlike some other NFL QBs he’s coming out.

Wakezilla

If I were them, I’d trade down for a king’s ransom and draft defense and sign a free agent QB. Might as well build a young, killer defense

King Hippo

He sold the SHIT out of that (Lamb)

SonOfSpam

That was fucking awesome

King Hippo

Like pulling out a still-beating heart. Chew on that at halftime.

rockingdog

that was dope! reverse then throw back to the QB whos in the endzone!
dude!

King Hippo

NICE DAGGER

King Hippo

QB draw

rockingdog

Jump pass.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I’d be a terrible OC. Too predictable.
I would always call play action slant to TE on 3rd and goal.

I’d suck.

Gratliff

You’d beat the Eagles 10 out of 10 times.

King Hippo

You’ve got 12-13 days to work on your end-days fatalism. I appreciate the solid hustle.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Try not to fuck this up, Oklahoma.

Heh, like that’s never been said before….AMIRITE???????????

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Blair Walsh doesn’t even deserve the sad Hulk walking away music

litre_cola

Does he deserve a project?

King Hippo

Sooners need to burn some clock here

King Hippo

Nice missed TD, dickass

King Hippo

Baker MAyfield looks a bit like Li’l Sweet, don’t he?

Mr. Ayo

So OU is just a marketing stunt for BIG SODA?

King Hippo

they play the long game out there

So anyone think Gruden is just an expensive stunt to put asses in the seats like BEEF MOE was?
