Your “Saturday Night’s Alright For…You Know” Open Thread

Actually, I’m not much of a fighter. I’m more of a lover… hmm that’s not really correct either. I’ve always found that to be a strange dichotomy, myself. When it comes down to it I guess I’m more of an appreciator-of good scotch, good books, good profit margins, good games, (no matter the sport) good food, good people (increasingly rare but they’re out there if you look for them) good art and new and good ideas.

Enough of me. What did you accomplish today/this week? What are you obsessing about these days? This Saturday night thread tends to be a jumble of many fairly interesting observations from the commentists. We seem to have a good spread with respect to geography, team likes, interests, vocations and all that. If this site was confined to NFL football fans from northern Ontario I simply wouldn’t be here. Huh. It came right back to me again. [throws smoke bomb] TO THE GAMES!

ATL/JAX:

The Julio and the Devonta are resting comfortably on the sidelines because they’ll no doubt be over-used during the regular season. Rook wr Ridley is still all that anyone can talk about but he’s in over his head against the duo of cb’s Ramsey and Bouye. They are lock-down bastards, is what they are. I’ll be keeping an eye on a certain fb that goes by the name of Jalston Fowler. Why? Let’s just say I’ve got a weakness for football fellas that are 5’11” and 260 pounds.

BAL/MIA:

The Fins are going all-in on rb Kenyan Drake based upon his 5 week spree at the end of last year. Sounds like a solid plan.

N.O./LAC:

In Important Saints News, the leading story is that last year’s first round pick, Marcus Davenport, will be playing his first ever game that involves NFL players! If you recall, he’s an edge rusher that missed all last year because… [Jerry Richardson interrupts] “Because he’s stupid and lazy?” Very ironic that you would say that Jerry, very ironic. Destroyer of Vaginas, The Holiest of the Hole, Phil Rivers will play a series or two and impregnate his wife by pulling into the driveway.

Type to your heart’s content, bastards one and all.
