Your “One More Monday Night Game? But It’s JV NFL? Whatever…I’LL TAKE IT!” Monday Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

  • Your new Bears head coach is Matt Nagy.
    • He is/was the Chiefs OC in 2016. Prior to the Chiefs, he was with the Eagles from 2009-13.
      • He played QB at Delaware, and spent 5 years in the Arena League.
  • SHOCKING: Richie Incognito is being accused of dropping some slurs in the Bills loss versus the Jags.
    • Specifically, Jags DE Yannick Ngakoue accused Incognito of making “some weak racist slurs” during the game.
  • SHOCKING #2: Cam’s concussion protocol treatment during the loss to the Saints will be getting the once-over by the NFL.
    • It will get the same scrutiny that Russell Wilson’s protocol did when he spent the three minutes in the tent back in November, a move which cost the Seahawks $100,000.
  • SHOCKING #3: Jeff Triplette was reportedly so bad on Saturday he decided to retire.
    • Now, this morning, the controversy is that the NFL knew he was retiring, and gave him a playoff game upon which to ride off into the sunset.

Finally, this is pretty savage.


Game preview: JV Falcons versus JV Patriots

I don’t care what the spread is, this game is Bama’s to lose. They could theoretically win their 5th National Championship in nine years, so as much as we like to rip on Nick Satan Saban, you have to allow that Alabama has shown a remarkable pattern of success since his hiring.

From everything I read, it sounds like this game comes down to whether Georgia’s two-headed running monster can overcome Alabama’s stifling #1-ranked run defence. Seniors Nick Chubb and Sony Michel both have surpassed the 1,000-yard mark this fall, boosting their career totals to a combined 8,259 yards, moving them past Eric Dickerson and Craig James – of Southern Methodist fame in the early 1980s – on the all-time list for tandem running backs.

Because, from having watched the two semi-final games, Georgia doesn’t have much of a defence, and Alabama can put up points fairly quickly. A freshman QB, no matter how poised, doesn’t have much to draw upon if he gets flustered. If the game turns to Bama quickly, I think we all have to reflect on how supremely talented DeShaun Watson is, and how what he did for Clemson last year might be considered a miracle. I’m keeping RAW on redial if this game becomes a blowout by halftime.

SI.com has a story on the game’s punters, which isn’t half-bad. Read all the way to the bottom, however, for the latest in America’s culinary demise, Batter – the edible cookie dough gelaterie.

  

Commercial airtime is averaging $1.2 million per 30-second spot. Kendrick Lamar is performing at halftime.

For you lovable gambling degenerates, Alabama is currently favoured by 4.5, and the over/under is 47.

Oh, and the President will be there, so I hope people enjoy the extra extra-security the game already has. In Canada, they’ve mostly stopped showing politicians on the big screen, because they always get booed. I wonder if they’ll show the Orange Face of Incompetence on the YUGGGGGE board, and if so what will the reaction be.

Update: Well, the protests are planned.

No surprise, since the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reminds its readers that Trump tweeted that Atlanta is “horrible” and “crime infested”.

Seriously – he needed this at the Army-Navy game?

Prediction:

What I want: Georgia 24-17

What I expect: Alabama 35-10


Tonight’s sports:

  • College Football Playoff National Championship: Alabama vs. Georgia

Nice.

Every time i see Blankenship I think to myself, “It’s time to watch Slapshot again”

HE BROUGHT HIS FUCKING TOYS WITH HIM!!!!!

Unsurprised

I think it’s on Netflix again.

theeWeeBabySeamus

*sigh*

Mr. Ayo

Kiffin’s right. Just run the ball. By the 4th quarter they’d be rolling.

theeWeeBabySeamus

No Kiffin has ever been right about anything.

blaxabbath

Oh – game’s not on ABC?

Considering I turned it on to a debt relief commercial, I was so sure this was gonna be the right channel.

THIS ALABAMA UNIVERSITY, I CALL IT THE DILDO FACTORY, BECAUSE ALL IT PRODUCES ARE GIGANTIC DICKS

Unsurprised

Trent Richardson may be big but he’s limp and useless like a dildo make of Jell-O.

There’s Jell-O?

Unsurprised

Just look inside your own head.

THIS BAMA TEAM I CALL THEM THE PATRIOTS BECAUSE IF THEIR TEAM PLANE CRASHED I’D SHOW UP AND MAKE S’MORES, AND THEN POUR MORE GASOLINE ON THE FUCKING FIRE. THEN I’D PISS ON IT. THEN I’D SPRAY THE SITE WITH ARSENIC!

So how’s the game?

theeWeeBabySeamus

The ruling on the field is that the pass was complete. Now we’re gonna waste five minutes reviewing this and fuck up UGa’s momentum and let Satan’s defense catch its breath.

Fuck you ‘Bama.

Mr. Ayo

Welcome back!

theeWeeBabySeamus

Please tip your waitresses.

Horatio Cornblower

Just the tip, if you’re still at the Capital Cabaret.

Watching the Jeff Triplette Retirement Party with my son yesterday and he drops the line “This is like watching a game of Calvinball!”

comment image

He wasn’t wrong

Redshirt

My favorite storyline was when Rosalyn played Calvinball. It was beautifully sweet.

The Maestro

Oh man, that was amazing. Also amazing was the Transmogrifier gun and the aftermath of it breaking.

Horatio Cornblower

Greatest comic strip ever and there will be no further discussion on the topic.

Unsurprised

Because The Far Side wasn’t a strip. They are both comic GOATs.

Horatio Cornblower

This guy knows what’s up.

Nick Saban off Broadway production of Rumplestiltskin incoming

He’s more of a Jaffar-type. Covets titles and recruits like a magic lamp; will stop at nothing to get them.

Who thought letting The Good Doctor play QB against Alabama was a good idea?

Mr. Ayo

That throw was surgical.

Mr. Ayo

King Hippo

yes indeed, 34-20 is 14!

jjfozz

Today I got a raise. Almost fucking killed myself on an icy sidewalk. Got my son’s high school entrance tests where he scored above average. Had a cigar. Ate chicken and white bean chili. Found out my wife’s uncle died. The afterlife has another grumpy, crusty, but friendly Italian man who will tell everyone he meets that they’re doing it wrong.

WCS

Congratsdulences?

Unsurprised

Almost fucking killed myself on an icy sidewalk.

Now there’s no more sidewalk.

The Maestro

The Democratic nomination is gonna turn into a Hell In A Cell match between her and The Rock, and yet, somehow, it’s still more appealing than four more years of the status quo. Fuck me.

Unsurprised

The Rock is a Republican. Not that I guess it matters, but he is for now.

Fuck no.

I would love to see Georgia win 3-0.

That would be Peak Pawl.

3-2

Ouch…that Hurts.

Seriously…Imma go be by myself for now.
Fuck ‘Bama tho.

Horatio, you could always just get the iPhone X for your cat and not to put dinosaurs into videos of him.

Judging by how slow that cat is moving, the update has apparently uploaded.

I can’t wait for the Most Interesting Man In The World’s statue reveal presented by Rob Riggle and Dos Equis

Gatoraids

12 strong whatever he’s all our marketing budget

Senor Weaselo

I’m admittedly watching Super Plinko, even though the people on it (like on Millionaire) take way too fucking long to answer a question. Afterwards is Better Late Than Never, but if I wanted to see old American guys cause international incidents, I’d just check Agent Orange’s Twitter.

Romonobyl

Same thing on here, strictly for the purpose of illumination. Literally, not figuratively.

scotchnaut

All the alcohol is downstairs. All the food is way upstairs. You do the math as to whether I’m showing up to work tomorrow.

The Maestro

Once again, gravity is always to blame.

scotchnaut

If Alexander Newton had never invented the apple I wouldn’t be in this pickle!

Horatio Cornblower

So I should spend $1,000 on an iPhone X so I can stick dinosaurs in the videos I take of my cat?

Seems legit.

WCS

That was a purty run.

Mr. Ayo

These young guys are great until they blow out a knee.

Horatio Cornblower

“They sure ar…oh, you said knee.”

King Hippo

as Horatio alluded, feeling bad about ignoring my under impulse

The Maestro

If Georgia’s running back gets himself paralyzed from the waist down in this game, are we allowed to refer to him as a half-Chubb?

Unsurprised

Obligated

Horatio Cornblower

Just change it to “Semi”

Gatoraids

Georgia past the 50 is giving me a half Chubb

Unsurprised
King Hippo

I think we should replay the immediacy of the false start reaction. DON’T YOU??

Horatio Cornblower

I’ve always semi-rooted for Georgia in JV football, (because what am I going to do, root for Connecticut? Please), because they were always good but never great. While I would very much like them to win if I were a degenerate gambler I’d take ‘Bama, the points and the under.

theeWeeBabySeamus

OK, I’m checking out for now. This is as close as I’ve gotten to any meaningful banner since 1983 and I’ll likely call you fuckers names I’ll regret later if I don’t go watch this alone.

Love ya’s. And fuck you.

WCS

Didn’t the Ratbirds win two Super Bowls this century?

theeWeeBabySeamus

I’m more invested in UGa.

See, you don’t know Seamus quite as much as yinz thought.

Senor Weaselo

You mean the Cardiac Pack won’t rise again?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Let’s say the likelihood is currently in question.

Mr. Ayo

I forgot the lettuce but it looks like I’ll make it home safe and still high.

Gatoraids

It would have just been in the way

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yes, ride the Chubb.

“I’ll take, ‘What did Brett Farve say to his prom date?’ for $600, Alex”.

Horatio Cornblower

Is it just me or did our orange POTUS get a healthy dose of boos as he waddled out onto the field?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Seemed pretty apparent to me.

WCS

It was a decent amount, considering the states involved and the location.

Good to see Mayhem back to normal.

I still only see him as an Oz character. Same for the Farmer’s dude.

Millennium.

Don’t bother googling, I doubt it would yield meaningful results.

Mr. Ayo

Rescue Me or CSI: Miami.

Horatio Cornblower

I’d like to see them do a couple of ads in character from Oz.

Taco Bell commercials make me irrationally angry.

Fromm: Yep, still an idiot.
check.

yeah right

As much as I love LA we sure can’t do weather right.

That big ass fire that torched a lot of Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties has been shortly followed up with flash flood warnings. Which means that with all of the vegetation gone entire hillsides will now slide off.

Is it too much to ask for a steady even rain instead of getting an entire years worth in two days?

Senor Weaselo

Nooooope!

theeWeeBabySeamus

I saw that earlier. Hang in there.

Its almost like most of California is not a stable enough environment to support massive cities….

Horatio Cornblower

This. it’s a semi-desert environment with millions of people crammed into it.

The Maestro

Hey, at least you’re not Ottawa. It ranges between 5 and 105 up here on a yearly basis. Think it may be the national capital with the largest annual temperature fluctuations in the world.
