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!

Is this some Japanese porn version of Toy Story?
Trailer from the live action movie version of QWOP?
Do the Rams have two D linemen with the names Fox and Brown?
And a receiver named Quick and a defensive lineman named
Albert HaynesworthLazy.Sneezy’s on the practice squad and Dopey’s playing QB for the Giants.
Matt Ryan Death Drop!
Matt Ryan should really look his old dependable tight end Alge Crumpler here, donchathink?
Wow that name’s giving me flashbacks.
Can’t remember if his full name was Algernon or if that was just a dumb thing I made up.
ppl of RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!! Are you feeling it in your loins??
Call me George Micheal.
“Yes!”
-pale Northwesterners shedding seahawks knits.
people have been slippin all night
FedEx Field 2.0?
Holy fuck. It’s still the first half.
21-13, 28-20, these are scores that cover the spread nicely.
Agreed.
Damn Goff’s dad was white, Jorge Posada without the switch-handed power
Pees on his hands, too.
I feel like the DFO pantheon could also use a deity for early/inadvertant whistles.
Gary?
Triplette?
He just sucks.
Hoculette?
Aurandom?
Should I put truck nuts on my tiny Mazda2? I should put truck nuts on my Mazda2.
Save the money. Ain’t no hicks ‘round you to find it bothersome.
Can you find a set of 3?
That sounds like something a San Francisco hipster would do.
Now with more wasp!
am I bellowing RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!! in my living room? Damn Skippy!!
14 straight wins for WVU. Can’t wait for the inevitable Round of 32 loss.
The tournament really isn’t as wide open as we advertise. Brackets justvreky on compounding which makes it seem more so.
“I built this”
-J. Fisher, Nashville, TN
Ficken? Nah, Imma call him Figgin
time to get ball back, too
Yep, that’s right.
Atlanta’s defense looking like 1864 all over again.
RAMMIT!!!!!!!
RAMMMIITTT Good
BABY BUSTER makes his first playoff touched down!!
as my ex-wife would stay “stop running into all the people!!”
Hate backseat drivers.
Banner Desert in Mesa, baby. Those assholes.
No shit.
As my ex wife would say…
Please do CPR on me so I can make your life hell for a few more years.
OK, fine…I’ll stop now.
Gotta learn to tell her no or she’ll walk all over you her whole life.
He did.
I’ll pass that along.
Oh wait, can’t…she ded.
Tracksuits are about to knock off Boomer Sooner. The Wolven Sorts are also leading Dook.
Whose track suits?
I have not turned it on.
We will fuck it up.
ua lost today at CU. I feel like the pac is absolutely as down this year as they say. The entire conference is hot garbage.
You’re right, the Utes are in a full rebuild right now and are looking like world beaters.
Seriously. There is nothing of value coming out of these squads. If ASU is hit again entering the tourney, they’ll be a big school, live/die by the 3, scrappyand lovable, early run Butler team.
But that’s an enormous IF for ASU, who looks absolutely like a novelty. UA is the underachievers with a few talented guys but no sense of team. UCLA is going to be under the ire of Trump in March, and everyone else will just be non threatening teams.
State’s last win last season was in Cameron, in like mid-late January.
We does have a history of beating/covering against them, no matter how awful.
Fucking Country David S Pumpkins
Liam Neeson has killed more people on transportation than AMTRAK.
Why do people who kill themselves by throwing themselves in front of a train always do it during morning rush hour?
Evening trains in the Bay Area.
I told you those people were fucked up.
If I’m suffering through a day and make it to the evening, I’m getting that earned night of sleep.
First thing in the a.m. is when I got the least to lose.
Always suicidal before noon.
People suck.

that show is fucking great
I really appreciate cooking in the winter. In the summer it’s like, yeah just throw me something on some greens. Winter I’m like, the sum of these ingredients is so much better than their rich/hearty components.
Ok fuck it, I’m going to see Star Wars. Slack me if the Rams Patriot the Falcons.
Don’t let the first ten minutes turn you off (or a few points during the film).
You mean if the Falcons Chiefs it up?
Enjoy!
Movie Pass would be great if I didn’t keep finding excuses not to see the three movies I actually am willing to see right now.
But I saw Lady Bird twice, and it’s amazing, so go see that. Or stream it. Or whatever.
Really? What’s the other two?
The Shape of Water and I, Tonya. My brother recommended All The Money In The World, so maybe that too. I missed seeing The Killing Of A Sacred Deer so I hope it comes to a second-run theater or else I’ll have to stream that too.
People I trust have said very good things about I, Tonya
What did you think of I,Tonya?
I haven’t seen The Shape of Water or I, Tonya yet.
finally rams do a thing
The ribs turned out great. Such a hit that bybthe time we finished the sides, we weren’t even hungry bc of the grazing.
I’m hungry.
Fuck this game.
Also, I really want to bet ‘Bama, but don’t want to have to root against UGa again.
But if the ironic bet brings the trophy home to Athens…
Shit, so confused. I need alcohol and food.
Yes, in that order.
no read whatsoevs on the title fixture, will be nice to see the 2 best SEC PAAAAAWWWWWLLLLL sides play w/o Aubie fucking it up.
Bet ‘Bama is the best advice.
Just not sure I can do it.
tonight, 6 January, the Year of Our Lord 2018, life is but a flaccid wee-wee FOAR us all, brothers and sister
Speak for yourself. My plumbing works.
I am talking METAPHORICALLY here. The uselessness.
SHUT THE FUCK UP, DONNY!!!!
I stand corrected about the Rams being a threat.
Would totally visit Turkmenistan if it wasn’t so expensive. It’s all the fun of a crazy cult of personality dictator, with a smaller risk of imprisonment and death! Seriously, kind of amazed this dude doesn’t get more world attention. His father was even crazier. Maybe I should try to instigate a Twitter fight between this dude and the Cheeto…

Zymm, I say with all certainty that you are the most intelligent amongst us.
Make it so ??
She really is pretty damned smart.
It kinda pisses me off, actually.
😀 😀 😀 😛
Actually, the previous Dear Leader wasn’t his dad. The current Dear Leader was actually previous Dear Leader’s dentist. Adds to the crazy.
Damn, I was just sort of assuming this shit was hereditary.
I just remembered the guy at KSK who claimed he measured the volume of his penis and that it was 56 milliliters of fury. That’s what the Rams are tonight.
56! For some reason I couldn’t remember the actual number.
Someone used it as a handle for a while. It was just too hilarious for someone not to embrace it.
No but I remember a time when he talked about having gigantic balls.
The metric system is hard, brah
I do not recall this piece.
– Trent Green, when confronted by his wife about his side chick.
It was from the mailbag
Sill?
Really the only difference between 8-8 Jeff Fischer and 11-5 young gun Sean McVay is getting ARI’s number and another outside div win.
NFL can be fickle*
*offer not valid in Cleveland
Oh look, Austin Hooper finally remembered how to catch a ball.
That would have been nice when he was on my FF roster….like any fucking week!!!!!
Hooper’s response, and I quote:
About the only reason I would want to visit North Korea is to see the Mass Games
misspell “graves?”
Why would she go to North Korea when she could just go to Cleveland?
That, and the crazy pyramid hotel.
I’m a huge proponent of gobbling down as much local food as I can when I visit ANYWHERE.
That’s not really an option there.
Note : Not a WW2 movie cause we’re supposed to be cool with Nazis now
Luckily, morality didn’t exist until WW2, so we don’t have to worry about the fact that WWI was just one massive gray area.
Of course, then came Korea and we weren’t exactly above-board there, so we just erased it from the history books.
yup, nuttin’ but M*A*S*H!
Seriously, MASH was fiction….and took place in a fictional war.
Kind of. The (superior) movie was basically about Vietnam. The series itself brought some awareness to the fact that Korea existed, but it was never going to get into the history of the war itself.
I watched it when I was like 6, so my recall is quite sketch
I think I need to stop fucking up Hippo’s bets.
I’ve noticed that when I don’t follow him, he wins >75%.
When I follow him….it’s zero.
My apologies Hippo. I will stop fucking up your bets from now on.
Could you cut out this global warming too? And stop creating conflict in the Middle East?
My feet are currently frozen, so no.
It is warmer here than there by a bunch. Climate change is fine.
You won’t be saying that when the food stocks run out.
Oh trust me, it is not fine. Was -20 C here last week, and 10 C today. Things are a changin.
Stop falling for Chinese hoaxes, Dok! Our president is,like, a really, really smart genius who says it’s all fake, so…
nah, I am just like the purgatory of ppls. I have made probably close to 100 bets this fall/winter, and am within $60 (even with the juice) of the $2500 I put in.
WAR: THE MOVIE
But this one has General Zod AND Thor on the same side? I is confuzed.
oh look another war movie yay
everyone shld do as me and just say “fuck teh cinema”
Did that years ago.

He still buys shitty 80s DVDs tho.
Trust me.
can’t be afraid of the contact like that
