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!”

BrettFavresColonoscopy

This game goes any longer it’ll be too old for Roy Moore to date it

Mr. Ayo

So you east coast assholes have to stay up until 1am to see the end of the second game?

WCS

Yes, but, I don’t go back to work until next week.

Viva La Tabula Raza

New Mayhem dude is a mere shadow of his former self. Sad!

theeWeeBabySeamus

LET’S DO THIS ALL NIGHT!!!!
I’M BUYING THE DRINKS!!!! **

** for myself

litre_cola

Ye of little faith. Here comes a pick 6

...

Oh man I hope this goes like 7 OTs.

Mr. Ayo

Never a doubt!

-Blair Walsh

WCS

Cue the bad snap in 3…2…1…

Viva La Tabula Raza

Fake it!

LemonJello

My high school girlfriend? Is that you?

Wakezilla

Go for it, you pussies!

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yup….gonna hash shank it.
Congrats UGa, love ya’s.

Bye bye money.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Big choice coming up.
Ooooh…I’m all goose pimply.

Mr. Ayo

Is that SHAN’KLOR’s music I hear?

Wakezilla

Feels like it’s coming,eh?

Wakezilla

If OU scores, game over, right?

LemonJello

Gotta get the TD to end it.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Unless they only score a field goal, I think

theeWeeBabySeamus

Time foar cake…

Mr. Ayo

Could you at least apologize with a better cake? smgdh

ballsofsteelandfury

Did anyone make the MXC joke already?

...

Welp, the in-game over seems like a good choice.

herodotus450

It’s too bad espn doesn’t have a whole cohort of networks that they could use to start and air the next game so we’re not here until 2019.

Redshirt

Bama’s on the Deuce.

ballsofsteelandfury

Very appropriate

Senor Weaselo

You want The Ocho to have real sports? What kind of monster are you?

Redshirt

Why, OU? Why?

LemonJello

Stoppage time! Oh boy!

Mr. Ayo

It’s nice to see the NCAA make these interns work longer with no pay.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Time for a Chubb to go full length and pound it in?

Wakezilla

Go for it!

theeWeeBabySeamus

No really insurance company, it was a rock.

Mr. Ayo

Eh, she’s not that solid.

litre_cola

Either am I right now, maybe a half chubb.

Mr. Ayo

A good Baker needs more than a minute.

Wakezilla

Well, I might as well double down from last page’s post:

UGA left lots of time left and Baker don’t mind playing in Cleveland….

(They win with a last second field goal, you see)

Wakezilla

Good time to get a Chubb

...

GET IN ALL YOUR CHUBB JOKES, PEOPLE.

herodotus450

Crap, mine’s only halfway there!

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

...

Holy shit this is hypnotic.

LemonJello

You can’t waste a Chubb like that and not score.

Redshirt

Per orders from Alabama, this game will be suspended at 9:00 so we can move on to their game.

Wakezilla

So where do you think Eli will end up?

Mr. Ayo

His tree house?

litre_cola

With a juice box and sesame street on the cardboard teevee

Redshirt

No foul for picking up the ballcarrier?

Mr. Ayo

That’s legal?

Senor Weaselo

I think I got the “spicy for gweilo” kung pao chicken. As in, not spicy at all, though the peppers were all right-ish.

Wakezilla

Mainstream North America’s definition of spicey is so ridiculous. At best, it’s a weak medium

Senor Weaselo

Still need to pick up Last Dab from Chelsea Market. And then there will be a House of Pain, chuh chuh.

Redshirt

I’m glad I don’t have any interest in this game. I may not survive.

...

Favorite tweet thus far: This is cutting into Nick Saban’s recruiting time, people

theeWeeBabySeamus

Prolly too late to bet the over I guess.

Mr. Ayo

Wouldn’t the live O/U be 100.5?
I’d still take the over.

ballsofsteelandfury

Great minds

ballsofsteelandfury

Some online sports books let you do in-game bets. I would think this will approach 100.

litre_cola

It is currently 90.5

Mr. Ayo

Pound that over!!!

Mr. Ayo

WINNAR! WINNAR! WINNAR!

theeWeeBabySeamus

Might wanna jump on that quickly.

theeWeeBabySeamus

As Hippo heself might say….

SUDDEN CHANGE!!!!!

litre_cola

He sedated.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Lucky bastard.

LemonJello

Ho Li Fuk.

Mr. Ayo

Bananacakes confirmed

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

comment image

Unsurprised

Wow.

Mr. Ayo

WTF was that Lincoln?

Wakezilla

Which hung individual called OU scoring? I dunno, but I called it last page.

herodotus450

Georgia’s best hope is that this game goes to overtime, because you know a CD can only play for 72 minutes.
/Damn you CFB and your “untimed” OT downs

herodotus450

(stretches out collar)
More of a wax cylinder crowd I see.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Sorry. I was hauling my totally not outdoor cat back in from the cold.
Dumb cat picks tonight to sneak out the door.

LemonJello

Bananacakes Rose Bowl?

litre_cola

Hippo? You still there bud?

theeWeeBabySeamus

He’s good on the spread again at least.

Mr. Ayo

I love 4 hour JV football contests.

litre_cola

Plus we still get the hate Bama tonight!

Spur

Hail Satan!

theeWeeBabySeamus

I hate ’em both.
Really would love the meteor to finally arrive for that one.

JustStopDude

Them ESPN-Disney boys are going all out on clamping down on the streams…

I’m down to an Arabic feed….

Wakezilla

Of course a Bulldog took down a lamb. Buddy should change his last name to Vick.

Wakezilla

To me, that kind of behind the back pitch bullshit Fromm just pulled should be declared a fumble

theeWeeBabySeamus

Where did that shit come Fromm?
Hehehe…get it?

litre_cola

You misspelled Penthouse “forum”

Spur

Yes, fuck the Sooners. Dirty Land Thieves.
