Your “Stupid Sexy NFC South!” Wild Card Playoff Game Open Thread

Well, we’re three down and only one more to go. I hope your belly is full of the things that you like and that you’ve hunkered down for the day. Not sure about you guys out there but the wind is howling and growling up here, blowing the darn snow everywhere.  A source in New Orleans has told me that the weather inside The Rich Fella’s Car Dome is hunky and dory, if you can believe it. So how will this thingy in front of our eyeballs play out? Let’s go…TO THE GAME!

Carolina/New Orleans:

There’s a 65% chance that this is the last time Jerry Richardson can look down on his team, metaphorically and physically. I guess I have to back up a bit here. The Saints have taken both tilts from the Panthers this year by a combined 31 points. What you’ll be hearing pre-game is that IT’S SO FREAKING HARD to beat a team three times in a season. Fact is, 65% of the time the winning team that has won before will end up being the winning team again and the losing team will be the same. Got that? No? Good.

Best RB in the league:

His name is Ingram Kamara and he’s run at a 4.7 ypc clip all season long. You should try and pick him up early in your fantasy draft next year.

It’s a fine line…:

As the Wallenda’s will no doubt tell you, ‘balance’ is of the utmost importance. Mr. Brees can state matter-of-factly that an adequate running game will cause you to drop to the ground behind the line of scrimmage only 20 times in 2017. That’s a 3% sack rate and the fewest times he’s been down in ten years. His 270 yards passing per game is the first time he’s been below 300 in six years.

My Hot Takeaway:

The Saints ain’t gonna lose this one.

Mr. Ayo

Aren’t all ref decisions literally “By Rule”?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Not when it’s Jeff Triplette’s crew

Dunstan

You misspelled “whim”

Spur

Cam forgot he needs to throw the ball.

King Hippo

well, to be fair, he thinks he’s in the homecoming parade now

King Hippo

Look, even if you’re the kind of asshole who would put Cam in at 19-24…the fuck you have to gain now?

Carolina have done a brilliant job in stopping New Orleans’ unstoppable backfield.

But…Breesus.

Game.

Ok, Panthers your turn. Stomp on Drew Brees’s throat please.

My, how the turntables.

Trading Places is the best ending that I have no clue what happened.

fleshwound_NPG

Same. Still no real clue.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Which part, the falsified report on FCOJ crops, the futures market generally, or the way they made so much money off of one day of trading?

fleshwound_NPG

…AND forced the Dukes to the poorhouse.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

That’s inextricably linked, though. The Dukes were buying based on incorrect data, and they were buying very high. When the market data showed the opposite of what they thought, they had to pay those high prices at large volumes and didn’t have the cash to cover.

Redshirt

Yeah. That part. I’m just not sure how two people selling would bring the price down before they announced the right crop report.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie, but I thought the price was going up before the report, hence Valentine and Winthrope selling at that high ass price, bringing some equilibrium to the market and then it crashing when the report came out, so people that bought high were desperate to sell and not face total loss, so Valentine and Winthrope got to buy (what they never had) to cover their sale at a fraction.

Redshirt

Ah.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Better than The Usual Suspects? Or is that just no idea what really happened?

Dick E. Phuck

Keyser Soze thought Kevin Pollack’s character was a 15 year old boy, and when he found out he wasn’t, he shot him to death.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

“You’re not the rentboy I ordered!”

Kaiser Soze was fucking children the whole time.

Okay, fill me in, no idea why he’s called Horseballs

BrettFavresColonoscopy

BDD went through his bio and decided it was boring and he’d make up a new one, resulting in this gem of writing:

Derek “Horse Balls” Anderson was born in a Scappoose, Oregon in 1983.

• His father was a world-champion log-roller. His mother was a sassy waitress at a greasy spoon. Derek was conceived in a wheelbarrow.

• Derek’s mother gave birth to him while sliding down a log flume. The afterbirth was fed to a baby ox.

• Derek spent a lot of time as a child at his father’s lumber operation, twice a week fulfilling the duty of “barrel boy”.

• One day while in the barrel, a group of lumberjacks thought it would be a fun prank to stick a horse’s penis in the barrel. So they did. When Derek encountered the horse’s penis, he yelled from the barrel, “Men, if you’re gonna stick a horse’s cock in here, you may as well give me the balls as well.” From there on, he was given the name “Horse Balls,” and he never spent another day in the barrel again.

• He has been show-jumping buffalo since age 5.

• Derek was not known as an overly impressive athlete at Scappoose High School. He wasn’t the cocky sort. Nor was he prone to acts of bravado. He wasn’t even the strongest kid on the team. But what set Derek apart from all the others was his incredible unflappability. Nothing ever seemed to bother him. Ever.

• Not even when his team was losing by 50 points (which it often was).

• Not even during the traditional Scappoose High “Broken Plunger” hazing rituals his freshman year.

• Not even when he clicked on the Lemon Party website by accident.

• Not even when his father chained him to a desk in a drunken rage and attacked his mother, who then shot him dead with the family revolver.

• Teammates dislike playing practical jokes on Derek, because he does not exhibit any visual reaction to things like poop, fireworks, gunshots or cock slaps.

• Nothing has ever fazed Derek Anderson. Some doctors have said that Derek has Asperger’s Syndrome. But I prefer to think of him as the perfect savior for the Browns: quiet, modest, hardworking, and disturbingly poised.

• Derek is the only player on the Browns that likes Kellen Winslow.

• Liz Phair used Derek as her inspiration for the song “Supernova.” Derek’s penis is average-sized, but he does indeed “fuck like a volcano.” And if anyone knows a thing or about getting hollowed out, it’s Liz Phair.

There. I like that better. So three cheers to you, Horse Balls. You’ve made the Browns interesting again, and that’s more than enough.

The Liz Phair line is the best.

I’m thrilled that Horseballs has earned his playoff share.

that was a fair hit, though, methinks. He wasn’t headhunting.

Get ready for yet another team to laugh in the face of the NFL’s concussion policy

King Hippo

yup, he still gots his helmet

Spur

Carolina Staff: “Cam, who do you throw the ball to?”
Cam: “the little white dude?”
Carolina Staff: “Put him in”

Mr. Ayo

No protocol? Good job NFL.

Spur

Yep. Cam is out. Dude thinks that laptop is his.

I’m sure they’ll put him through the proper concussion protocol before he returns. Ha!

Notice the hard hit, but playing FAIR unlike the Tyrod gameplan

Two yards back and it would’ve been the nicest field goal in Football history.
