Your “All Aboard The Band Wagon!” NFC Wild Card Game Open Thread

I’m only human. Well, that’s the excuse I use when I screw up. Not really though but I use that to explain why I almost always cheer for that team that comes out of nowhere and against expectations, plays well or has some sort of uphill battle. Yeah, I’ve cheered for Gonzaga. I’ve cheered for Boise State. Hell, in the early 80’s I cheered for Duke. Look, I hated UNC and Dean Smith that much. The Rams got off to a very quick start this year and I waited for their house to cave in as I knew it inevitably would. Not so fast, dicknugget! They turned out to be an 11-5 team after all. So now I’m all for ’em until they lose and next year I’ll move on to another team that can make me feel as though I can feel. Enough of that let’s head off…TO THE GAME!

Falcons/Rams:

Atlanta seems a wee bit scary to me. After they stumbled here and there they finished up the season at 6-2 with the only losses being against Minny and New Orleans. The O isn’t what it was last year (but still among the league’s best) but the D became a top 10 unit. They also ended the year as #1 in third-down conversions. That’s gonna come in handy today against a L.A. D-line that makes lesser qb’s stain their jorts. The Rams? They’re fun to watch because of a.) Gurley’s talent and b.) their love of the deep ball. This one is a coin flip to me.

If you’re not a football fan there’s oodles of other stuff going on including-

NHL-

The Kings, Bruins, Leafs, Senators (ugh!) and others are icing it tonight.

College Ball-

Oklahoma, (check out Trae Young) Duke, Villanova, Kentucky, Kansas and Gonzaga are on the hardest of courts.

NBA-

Houston and Cleveland and some others can bore you if that’s your thing.

If you’re not into any of that just post pics of girlies or gifs that make you smile. Don’t worry, the commenters are high but the bar isn’t. Go Get ‘Em!

Larry David seems to have shrunken.

Oh no, that’s just him.

King Hippo

Larry David likes to RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!!!

Unsurprised

I’m sad I missed out on posting tits.

LemonJello

As penance, you should post them anyway.

LemonJello

RAMMIT letting ATL get a 28-3 lead, just to really add insult to injury?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Inorite????

– W.T. Sherman

ThePirateSloth

That’s fucking high-larious, Al.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Nice use of the little-used rugby maul by the Falcons on that touchdown.

Doktor Zymm

I kinda want to watch parody movies form the 90s now

I know “form” is a mistake, but you just might be onto something there…

King Hippo

I’m Gonna Git You Sucka or GTFO

Unsurprised

That was 80s, wasn’t it?

...

Hell yeah. Hole bumper music.

Spur

RAMMIITTT

theeWeeBabySeamus

You said hole bumper.

Doktor Zymm

How old is Snoop now?

King Hippo

do the Lion years count?

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

He’s old enough that he bought crack from Marion Barry with his first record deal.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

“Hey, I never sold crack, I only smoked it. And that was only cause I was trying to cheat on my wife!”

Unsurprised

He’s 46

King Hippo

the sound is off the teevee box

fleshwound_NPG

Snoop a Rams guy this week

LemonJello

His entire jacket is smoke-able.

Smithchez

So, I missed the audio for most of this quarter, but am I going insane or does Los Angeles have weird traffic jam sounds playing throughout the game?

montythisseemsstrangetome

Still twinges of anger over the Rams leaving StL, guys. I thought I was over it, but I guess… Also lots of beer tonight so that could be part of it.

Doktor Zymm

Totally okay to be bitter about it. Hell, there are plenty of people who are still bitter about the Colts leaving Baltimore.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Those guys are assholes.
hehehehehe

King Hippo

we should all call our exes, is what you’re getting at

theeWeeBabySeamus

I don’t think I have that much on my long distance card, but I’ll try.

Yes, going to hell…we’ve already covered this. Move along people.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Looks like I’m not betting anymore this weekend.

Gotta save my dough now for the amputee night special at Capital Cabaret I guess.

LemonJello

Which capital? Kabul?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yes.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Well….well….well….

Well shit.

Smithchez

I can’t wait for LA to win this game 21-18 on their 7th field goal of the game.

Gratliff

Rams looking a whole lot like the Rams I’ve come to know and love

fleshwound_NPG

Great, more fuel for Cris’ “No Playoff Experience” narrative

litre_cola

You know Al, they have never been here before. blah fucking blah. Tomorrow will be the no team has beaten a team 3 times in a season.

Doktor Zymm

I really should floss more often

theeWeeBabySeamus

But then you’d miss out on bonus tooth snacks.

Gratliff

Goddamn. Black Panther is already coming out in February? How many of these fucking things do they have ready to release already? (I will absolutely be seeing every one of them on opening night because I’m a mark)

clint greasewood

Black History month, nigga you ain’t know.

Gratliff

Oh goddamn it. More ammo for Fox’s “WHITE AMERICA UNDER ATTACK” they’ll have to run with from this point forward since Trump won the War on Christmas last year. Guess Tucker Carlson’s gotta eat too.

Unsurprised

There’s a meme about how the current cut is 4 hours long and people are just “STRAIGHT INTO MY VEIN! I CAN SPARE AN AFTERNOON!” and I wish this mania wasn’t now affecting the people who aren’t stereotypical nerds

Gratliff

I unapologetically love the MCU. I’m okay with all of this.

Unsurprised

I want people to enjoy the fuck out of it because it’s a black superhero movie where the only white people in it are Bilbo Baggins and Gollum and people deserve representation.

Gratliff

It’s the biggest assault on White people since Black Heimdall.

Unsurprised

Three MCU movies will be released this year this and next year. Captain Marvel just began filming and will be released next November, I think.

...

So far, RAMMIT has just been pushing rope.

King Hippo

hate to admit that is pretty good

clint greasewood

Matt Bryant looks like a convict.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

You misspelled prison bitch

Doktor Zymm

SCORCHING ACTION ACTION ACTION

herodotus450

Donald won’t be retiring to open his soup restaurant anytime soon.

clint greasewood

Instead of a NFL sheild on the 50 yard line why don’t they put a In-N-Out Burger logo instead.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hey Matt Ryan…where are my W2s?????

Oh, sorry, you can’t even find your receivers. I’ll get back to you.

Spur

this game has been a dud so far.

LemonJello

Local attendees already heading for the exits…

King Hippo

don’t encourage Balls

King Hippo

well, as we saw in the opener…there is always the 2nd half. Surely, the OKC bomber can put the fear of God into his troops?

King Hippo

great, now Cris getting whiteGASM over Matty Ice

Doktor Zymm

Do you think stationary bike instructors are as annoying in the rest of their lives as they are in their jobs?

LemonJello

Absolutely yes.

Follow up question: Are they as cult-ish about their chosen fitness regime as Cross Fit-ers?

WCS

Worse.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Don’t know any. But I’d imagine to become someone who tries to explain how to ride a stationary bike, one would have to be fairly douchenozzle-like.

Senor Weaselo

“Just do more bike.” -LT

...

You can buy that TV bike on a fucking payment plan.

litre_cola

But you have to sign a contract where you tell everyone that you do it.

...

It’s just shy of $2,000 but it’s also $97 a month for 39 months. Best part? They say that’s 0% interest.

King Hippo

this not the RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!! I bet on , goddamnit

theeWeeBabySeamus

Chill.

It’ll be fine. And if not, then we’ll see some nekkid boobies.

fleshwound_NPG

puntkkake…?

King Hippo

My boss gave me some fancy white wine for Kwanzaa, but that Michelob Ultra reminded me white wine will make me an unloved fat pig who shall die alone, but then I remember I am that already, so WHITE WINE WOO!!!!

litre_cola

What kind?

King Hippo

a Sonoma County Chardonnay. His wife is from money, so it’s deffo nicer than I would buy. I find $15 a bottle extravagant,

Senor Weaselo

The more we know?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Speaking of which…..

ThePirateSloth

He’s doing it for the greater good.

Bogdanski

The greater good.

theeWeeBabySeamus

You could have just said “fuck it” and drank that shit.

Doktor Zymm

Cheers!

clint greasewood

I just got wine in a can at the liquor store,ot bad.

King Hippo

ever since Sweet Dee did that, I have been intrigued….

theeWeeBabySeamus

Ed Hoculi (sp?) is looking very trim tonight, btw.

Dunstan

Just give Al unrestricted access to his flask during the first half of the Super Bowl, and his staggering will look vaguely like dancing

...

I want him to get drunk enough to toss around some racial slurs.

fleshwound_NPG

still bullshit he gets to come back but janet is basically blacklisted

clint greasewood

Bud light commercials are better then their product

LemonJello

Low bar, there.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I ducked out for some, um, extracurricular activities. What’d I miss?

WCS

Just say you rubbed one out. We all know.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Hey, when I’m masturbating, I come right out and spray- I mean say it.

LemonJello

The tens in attendance really making some muted buzz to support RAMMIT.

Doktor Zymm

Are they trying to get the average game length up so they can show more commercials? And they wonder why ratings are dropping…

ballsofsteelandfury

No more Viagra ads too…

Unsurprised

They have been, but I thought they were going to shorten them because people aren’t watching.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

So it isn’t black people wanting rights?

Doktor Zymm

I sat next to a guy on my last flight who stopped watching NFL cause of the protests. His argument was that he didn’t think the field was the appropriate spot, especially considering the media access the players have. I didn’t bother arguing cause he was an otherwise nice guy and I don’t generally try to upset people I have to sit next to for 4-5 hours

theeWeeBabySeamus

You disappoint me.

ballsofsteelandfury

Coliseum turf is slippery. How does that happen? It hasn’t rained here in months!

litre_cola

The ole Real Madrid where they water the shit out of it.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

They had the West Hollywood Naked Twister tournament there on Friday.

litre_cola

Yesterday was the blindfolded water sports convention, so it is a bit slick.

King Hippo

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!!! fever manifesting itself in the form of protective sweat

LemonJello

KY tanker truck headed to the San Fernando valley sprung a leak?

ballsofsteelandfury

This is the most plausible explanation.

Unsurprised

Why are you listening to the fucking commentary? Can’t you at least hit the SAP button and try to learn Spanish? I guarantee you it’s better than whatever you’re listening to now.

King Hippo

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!!! needs to assemble they shit and keep it bound cohesively

litre_cola
clint greasewood

Al is getting cranky as fuck in his old age

Senor Weaselo

While they reviewed this I read War & Peace.

King Hippo

For those of you not reading, a bunch of Rooskie alcoholics killed theyselves

Doktor Zymm

Now that I don’t live in a frozen wasteland, I identify way less with Russian literature. It’s a good thing.

Unsurprised

Thanks. We all now have a de facto B.A. in Russian Literature.

Bogdanski

Are you sure that wasn’t Anna Karenininina?

Unsurprised

Fuck. I haven’t done anything all day. I didn’t even get a haircut.

King Hippo

embrace your inner Unabomber

Doktor Zymm

I ordered a pizza and opened a bottle of wine. PRODUCTIVE. Oh, and I watered my plants! SUPER PRODUCTIVE!

Smithchez

Why would you do anything when doing nothing is so amazing? You’re an inspiration to us all.

Unsurprised

No. Sorry. I wouldn’t be complaining if it weren’t for other reasons.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

I gave up on haircuts so I could channel my inner ’80s hair-metal god.

If it works, you can all be in my entourage.

Gratliff

Even the fucking commentary is aggravated at shitty commercial timing

theeWeeBabySeamus

Time to drank more while they figure this shit out.

Mr. Ayo

They ruled the muff

theeWeeBabySeamus

YEAH WE DID!!!!!!

Oh wait, you meant….

fleshwound_NPG

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PLAYOFF EXPERIENCE IT WAS JUST STUPIDITY, YA KNOW, THE SAME STUPIDITY YOU SPEW EVERY WEEK, COLLINSWORTH
