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!

The Anna Nicole Smith Story, tonight, on TBS.

I actually liked that movie. Too bad Shia went up and lost his damned mind.

Senor Weaselo

Don’t forget the rap at the end!

I really want to start a Christian garage band now, we’ll call ourselves The Stable Geniuses.

Horatio Cornblower

Mickey Mantle retired at 36, and absolutely wrecked his knee very early in his career.

Played 18 years and hit .298 with 536 HRs and 1509 RBIs. That is insane.

I doubt red is an option, too.

So are the NO SMOKING warnings that necessary? Kind of hard to light up at 3 G’s.

Cheer up, Dick. Someone will always need you, for at least a few minutes every other week or so.

JustStopDude

Oh well…on to watching Kenny Omega vs Chris Jericho.

They are showing it on AXSTV channel I think..

Gratliff

It was a lot of fun. I watched it live at 5 am on a Thursday because I’m an insane person.

Doktor Zymm

It Super Bow LII pronounced like ‘lee’ or like ‘lie’ ?

Bogdanski

I think it’s Super Bowl “when a guy takes part, ok, it’s just locker room stuff; but if the woman has a nipple exposed: banned for life.” So “lie” works for brevity.

Did Cris just essentially say “NFC South PAAAAWWWLLLLL!”?

fleshwound_NPG

Meanwhile, the Ice Donks are hilariously destroying the Ice Vikes

Horatio Cornblower

I love how Cris, presented with indisputable evidence that the refs brutally fucked over LA, still makes excuses for them.

“You wonder if they’re just letting them play, if they just don’t want to decide the game, or if they just missed it.”

No Cris, you fucking hayseed idiot; I don’t wonder that at all. I can see the replay and there’s more contact there than there is between Big Ben and a drunk co-ed in a filthy stall in a dive bar in Georgia. The NFL officials, once again, have totally fucked up in a crucial situation and, if you had any balls other than those of the QBs for either team that are currently rolling around in your slack-jawed mouth, you’d call them on it.

Romonobyl

Other than that…

The taintbreak of not stretching first.

WCS

I’m going to open my own bar, name it the Pit of Misery, and never sell Budweiser products.

Romonobyl

There’s already 12 in Cleveland.

Doktor Zymm

Don’t you mean 16?

Unsurprised

They’d have one for every busted QB, but that would be hundreds. They’d crowd themselves out.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

If you only sold Bud Lite it would qualify.

Doktor Zymm

I’ll be there, when’s the open?

Viva La Tabula Raza

If you wanted for it to truly be a Pit of Misery, you would sell only Budweiser products.

montythisseemsstrangetome

You had me at “bar”

SonOfSpam

Well, shit.

Good season tho.

Atlanta at Iggles. Looks like Philly gets to lose another NFC title game.

Horatio Cornblower

Bill Parcells would never throw the slant, for obvious reasons.

herodotus450

But you could always throw one against him, early on, as a sort of sneak attack.

fleshwound_NPG

a real kamikaze move

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

We need to zip this comment up.

Romonobyl

Don’t hate me because I have all my windows open letting fresh, cool air in.

Senor Weaselo

Oh, the air here is cool all right…

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

You mean tabs?

Horatio Cornblower

Buddy I can let in much cooler air that you can!
/throws open windows
//pipes freeze and burst

Doktor Zymm

That’s a good call, I should go watch the last minute of this game out on the patio (so happy I get to be the asshole in the warm place now)

Unsurprised

I’m going out. And this will time perfectly with the intermission during The Godfather Part 2, which I’ve been watching on Netflix. Stay out of too much trouble. Be back by midnight EST (Fuck. It’s late out there for this stupid game).

comment image

Romonobyl

Please avoid GF Part 3. It’s gawdawful terrible.

Horatio Cornblower

There is no Godfather 3. None. Never happened. You cannot convince me otherwise, and I’ve seen a “movie” that claimed to be it.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Horatio tried to leave the theater several times…but his wife kept dragging him back in!

Horatio Cornblower

I went with an Italian friend of mine who considers the Godfather movies gospel.

I drove his car home while he sat and fumed.

herodotus450

Probably mad cause you left the gun in the car but took the cannoli out

Romonobyl

It was that bad.

Horatio Cornblower

It’s probably the worst movie I’ve paid to see.

Romonobyl

Guess you didn’t see Speed 2 in the theater then.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

I saw that for free, at home, and I still felt ripped off.

fleshwound_NPG

I love these game shows where one spouse is tearfully explaining to the other spouse that, even though they’ve made $60,000 dropping brightly colored balls down a big wall, he or she is gonna fucking go for it, because I just love you that much!

Horatio: Hey, babe, I just made $60,000 doing the dumbest shit you can think of. After taxes that’s probably $35-$40K. We’re done here right?

Mrs. Horatio: You’re fucking-a right we are!

Doktor Zymm

And it’s this sort of common sense that ensures you will never be picked for one of these shows

Horatio Cornblower

Exactly.

Unsurprised

Speaking of NBC, The Good Place is finally back and it’s still really good.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Yer forkin’ right!

I miss that site so much. They were fantastic.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

And I made the mistake of looking him up on wikipedia and finding out that he’s only a year older than me and went to high school in the town next door next to mine. Makes me feel pretty inadequate.

Unsurprised

Shit.

Horatio Cornblower

I only saw the first season. Loved it, but waiting for Netflix to catch up. Given how the 1st season ended does the inevitable repetition hold up?

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Second season is even funnier.

Horatio Cornblower

Good to know.

Unsurprised

What they do works.

Spoiler

They dispense with repetitions (they do more than one reboot) during the first episode, and then it goes on from there into the arc that’s been running throughout the second season.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I heard that NBC tried to make Univision pay for the production of their new game show.

Super Plinko! SUPER PLINKOOOOOOOOOOOO!

It’s really sad when my students don’t get my Price is Right references. FUCK THE COMMON CORE, MORE CLIFF HANGERS!

Gratliff

I blame Drew Carey.

Unsurprised

He owns part of the Seattle Sounders. Truly, he is a monster.

montythisseemsstrangetome

Plinko always deserved its own spinoff tho.

Doktor Zymm

Perhaps I misunderstand. What here is a lollipop?

A high-arc throw. Baseball term.

Doktor Zymm

AH, that explains it.

Phillip Rivers enjoyed watching that pass so much, there’s gonna be some unprotected missionary shame sex tonight resulting in another pregnancy oh yeah.

Horatio Cornblower

There’s no doubt in my mind that Mrs. River’s bedroom, (and there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that they have separate bedrooms), is the true Pit of Misery.

SonOfSpam

She uses a dilly-dilly frequently.

Gratliff

I imagine he shuts his eyes so hard while fucking, and puts his hand over her eyes, because she says she won’t look, but Eve said she wouldn’t touch, and we all k now how that worked out.

Unsurprised

She’s not already pregnant?

montythisseemsstrangetome

Why do you not go for 2 there?

SonOfSpam

That would be the smart call, and Atlanta gonna Atlanta.

Unfortunately, RAMMMMMIT ain’t ready for prime time. MAYBE.

I don’t see why those two things are related.

I’m guessing they insist on the men wearing pants at Capital Cabaret.

Doktor Zymm

I certainly hope they make and exception for kilts.

Unsurprised

Outside of certain alcohol-fueled festivals (either ethnic or just booze-focused), every man I’ve seen in a kilt would have more dignity walking around with his junk swinging free.
