Your “Oh Yeah – Football” Monday Evening Open Thread

With all of Hippo’s quality basketball coverage this past weekend, it’s easy to forget why we’re all actually here – self-loathing football fandom.

NFL News:

  • Ndamukong Suh is visiting the Rams this week.
    • NFL.com notes the Rams have most of their talent still on rookie contracts, so if they wanted to go all-in on a two-year deal with Suh to try & win a Super Bowl now, pairing him with Aaron Donald wouldn’t be the stupidest thing they could do.
  • Orlando Scandrick signed with the [Redacteds] on Monday, two days after his release from the Cowboys.
    • Those of you hoping Dan Snyder got Haynesworth’d again are to be disappointed; it’s two-years & $10 million.
      • So unless there’s a silent zero in that contract, it just looks like a player switching to a division rival.
  • The Raiders have traded Cordarrelle Patterson & a sixth-round pick to the Patriots.
    • For the Pats 5th-round selection in 2018.
  • Rehab must have taken Jim Irsay’s phone away, because the Colts traded the Jets into the third-overall pick.
    • The Jets are sending their 6th, 37th and 49th overall selections in this year’s draft, and their second-rounder in 2019, to Indianapolis.
    • Still, the Colts seem thrilled, and expecting Luck to be healthy.

  • After [checks notes] nine seasons (!), Danny Woodhead has announced his retirement.
    • The Ravens cut him after one season of his three-year deal, because his hamstring just couldn’t return to elite status.

Finally, early speculation is that the Eagles & Vikings will open the 2018 schedule on Thursday, September 6.

  • While there is no official schedule release date on the NFL’s calendar, it’s expected to take place between April 16-21, or about a week before the Draft, probably as hype material to get people focused again.

I have to tell you – the last four days dropping in & out of all the basketball made for a delightful weekend. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as Hippo and Litre enjoyed making money off of it.

Let’s check in on the DFO Tournament bracket, to see how we no-money-fun types are doing.

I don’t think it would be a good idea for me to drink any more tonight.

[pours self another glass of whiskey]

SonOfSpam

Yeah, I just opened another beer too.

(raises can of crappy beer)

Here’s to bad decisions.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Welp, I’m not quite fall-down drunk, so it’s time for some beer.

Watching this interview on Colbert, remind me to never piss off Drew Barrymore. She definitely takes names, holds grudges, and will devise a Jigsaw-like death for you.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Hey WCS; NEVER piss off Drew Barrymore.

WCS

Lesson learned.

Every outlet that talks about quality FAs available and does not include Kaep deserves a boycott. I wonder who covers sports at Mother Jones.

Unsurprised

Someone who is gladly erasing Kaep. MJ is a goddamn affront to its namesake.

So I turned on the TV to see the wrestling everyone is talking about, but there was no wrestling on USA. But there was wrestling on NBCSn, so I turned that on, and no shit it was real wrestling! Like high school wrestling, except countries vs countries! And then dig this: it was chicks wrestling! I thought it was amazing for the 15 seconds I watched it before changing to King Kong on TCM which is just starting!

I can’t wait for the casual wrestling fans here to get exposed to Broken Matt Hardy and his compound at Mania. It’s gonna be like when I watch David Lynch movies and a Lynch fan explains that it making sense was never the point.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Like business casual or weekend casual?

Brick Meathook

Broken Matt Hardy says Fuck Heineken!

Does anyone know a quick (read: instant) way to get rid of a hickey?

I gave myself a haircut and when I was tidying up I thought, hey, use the vacuum on your neck like the barber does! And it got stuck to the skin for a little bit.

The reason that this is important is because my wife is coming home from her business trip tomorrow.

Unsurprised

You’d be better off creating so many hickeys on your neck that her only reasonable conclusion is that you are, in fact, not safe to be left home alone.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I thought I made that clear last night when I mentioned that I was already licking oven mitts.

Unsurprised

I missed that.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

That is a terrific Blair Walsh impression.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Your wife may suggest you just cut it out with a straight razor.

Sure…… sure……. try ice, also wash the lipstick off, or just put your penis in the vacuum cleaner nozzle.

WHOOHOO!!!

Ballsy I think we are over 10. I don’t think Zymm is in, but we have added a couple more.

ballsofsteelandfury

Guaranteed prize to the winner!!

litre_cola

Melbournians are far nicer folk.

Gratliff

Oh you fucking worthless Boston fucks

litre_cola

I hope you are speaking to all sports teams

Gratliff

Generally speaking, yes; specifically, Bruins, who could really seal up the whole thing for the Flyers by not sucking against Columbus.

Unsurprised

Correction: all Bostonians (and New Englanders, and people).

ballsofsteelandfury

I’m getting pancakes for dinner.

I’m 12.

theeWeeBabySeamus

LOL. You gonna ask for the chocolate chip smiley face?

Unsurprised

Chocolate chips AND chocolate syrup.

Ah, the Diabeetus Plate Special.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Nuttin’ better ‘n’ some good ass-plate.

Wakezilla

Pancakes for dinner? Ain’t nothing wrong with that

litre_cola

Did that last week. Was excellent.

Unsurprised

Jesus Christ, I’m stupid for reading Reddit but I have to share this because I just yelled out loud “Oh, come on!”

LemonJello

“WHY!?!”

Gratliff

Is there anything more Christian than helping an ailing boy get the poison out, though? How do you think Mother Teresa got canonized? A quadriplegic going off like Old Faithful certainly sounds miraculous.

Unsurprised

She sure as fuck wasn’t giving people pain relief or any sort of physical care.

theeWeeBabySeamus

At first I read it as…

…I was injured in an accident and decapitated.

WELL THEN HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU WRITING THIS???????

LemonJello

Thanks ObamaCare!

Senor Weaselo

He got better.

Brick Meathook

Twice a day? When I was 14 I jerked off 8-10 times a day minimum. This kid was lazy. What was his accident? Was he too lazy to get out of the way of a speeding car?

LemonJello

Bizarre shop vac/air compressor three-way?

Redshirt

Sunday is already being called one of the worst days in Cincinnati Sports History. That’s both sad and impressive.

Also, has Bearcats BB Coach Mick Cronin and Marvin Lewis been seen in the same place before? I know ones short and bald and the other is fat and black, but that last 10 minutes seemed peak-Lewis.

LemonJello

Have you seen Altered Carbon? Maybe it’s just Marvin’s consciousness moving between “sleeves” in order to cause maximum consternation?

Gratliff

I don’t know. I mean, Columbus did just give up two goals.

Gratliff

Did hear a few “You deserve it” chants, though. He’s getting All The Boos at Mania. They need to just embrace it. And for fuck’s sake, it’s time to drop that swat vest. I’m not paying good money to not see glistening Samoan superman chest.

Wakezilla

Vince must be pleased that the fans were chanting “you deserve it!”

Good stretcher reference!

Brick Meathook

Flipped him off the stretcher as he was being carried out of the ring? I don’t care if it’s fake that’s some Grade-A Showmanship. I’d pay money to see that, and even cheer for it in good conscience knowing that he’s really okay even though in reality he probably has serious brain damage.

With the Rams on the upswing and SF back in building mode, ARI really needs to go full Browns and start stockpiling picks and opening up cap space so, in four or five years when the division is in a lull again, they can just sell off everything to buy a division title.

That is, ultimately, the best chance at ANY success this franchise will have in the next ten years.

Gratliff

Here I am wanting a Boston team to win of all things, and they’re going to lose to a thing from ohio.

LemonJello

It’s clobberin’ time?

Have any of you folks ever had a burger from Dairy Queen?! Might just be the best fast food on the market.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

Unsurprised

Not for a long time, but they used to be good.

Senor Weaselo

I did during my couple weeks upstate, but I actually preferred the chicken.

LemonJello

It was the only fast food option for a young LemonJello in my home town. I haven’t had anything from DQ in a long time now.

Brick Meathook

Wow, that is classic small town America right there.

LemonJello

Indeed.

Gratliff

They’re not bad, but I haven’t seen an actual Dairy Queen eat-in place since I moved to Michigan. Everything here is just an ice cream stand.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

Gotta pour one out* for Danny tonight.

comment image

* Thimble, not 40

LemonJello

We get it, you’re a “little teapot” Danny…

Gratliff

I hope the Eagles-Vikings game is just the Eagles intentionally throwing the game and letting Vikings do whatever against the backups while doing a conga line with the Lombardi up and down the sideline. Vikes fans have not taken that NFC game well. You’d think that hilarious collapse after the week of endless shit talking and fucking around at the museum steps would have made them shut up but nope.
So now it’s at the point that I can’t feel bad for them and I want it to hurt as much as possible.

Don T

Being a sore winner is the sweetest spite. I salute you, sir.
