Your Pride of Texas SNF Open Thread

Back when I was a wee lil Balls, one of the first songs I learned in English was this one:

The second was probably this one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwZyZr8Wg5U

Even though I was a wee lil Steelers fan back then,  I really liked the Houston Oilers and Earl Campbell and Dan Pastorini. Those were some great teams.

At the same time,  probably to spite me or to be the opposite of me,  my brother was a Cowboys fan. He had a Roger Staubach action figure and everything.

So,  our loyalties within the Great State of Texas were divided. Much like many families in Texas,  I assume. Yes,  some are Cowboys families and others are Houston families,  but I’m betting a 40 oz steak that asshole brothers pulled for the other team just to spite someone.

Oh,  those were the days!

Nowadays,  the Oilers are technically in Nashville,  the Cowboys suck balls, Houston is more known for the 500, and the word “Texans” is being forced to apply to some imaginary team placed in Houston.

Also this:

I don’t care who you are, that’s some great graphic design!

Without further ado,  TO THE GAME:

The Cowboys still have not given Dak anyone to throw to and poor Dez is still sitting at home wondering why he’s being blackballed even though he never kneeled for the anthem.

The Houston franchise has a great QB in Watson and… that’s about it. Their defense is… improving.   It’s almost like the two teams are mirror images of each other.

I KNOW no one in The Great State Of Texas likes this state of affairs.

The game is in apparently NOT in Dallas,  so the ladies in attendance will have a bit more less makeup and bigger frizzier hair.  Nothing else separates these teams.

If you’re wanting to place a bet,  you might as well decide on which classic film you prefer and bet accordingly:

Enjoy the game!

Unless you want to watch the Doyers take on the Braves and really I wouldn’t blame you. At least you could avoid Collinsworth…

Or,  you could do like me and continue watching the Psych marathon on the Hallmark Movies and Mysteries channel. One of the Despereaux episodes is on!

Balls somehow lost his bio and didn't realize it. He's now scrambling to write something clever and failing. He likes butts, boobs, most things that start with the letter B, and writing in the Second Person. Geelong, Toluca, Barcelona, and Steelers, in that order.

you have to wear a cowboy hat or cowboy boots everyday. Which one you choose?

Viva La Tabula Raza

Well, the hat is easier to put on and take off…

theeWeeBabySeamus

A revolver in my mouth.

King Hippo

Hat. A smart man protects his feet.

Wakezilla

For how long?

Spur

every day for life

Gratliff

Just left a bar that had a bunch of non-football types minding their own business and one dipshit in a Zeke jersey hooting and hollering every time a Cowboy touched the ball, so now I’m even more invested in watching Dak collapse.

check Watson for a concussion.

Not until they make Collinsworth sit the game out for clearly being permanently concussed

HOLY SHIT FULL CONTACT BOWLING SHOULD BE A THING!!!!!!

(bonus if they do it in bikinis)

theeWeeBabySeamus

LMFAO. I can’t stop laughing at this.

To her credit, the “defender” was not offsides. She did wait until the other girl started her wind up.

Spur

or a broken rib

THIS DESHAUN WATSON, I CALL ALEXIS TEXAS BECAUSE HE’S A TEXAN TAKING LOTS OF SHOTS TO THE FACE

I’m so glad I didn’t bet on this game.

The last time Tavon Austin was a threat was the last time Bill O’Brien was considered a QB whisperer.

Evening. I see I picked the right time to turn the game on. . .

Pretty insane Leafs-Hawks game going on right now, 3 goals in the last 2 minutes, 2 from Kane to tie it at 6.

herodotus450

A Brownsian final score of 7-6 Leafs in OT.

HAIL CANADIA’s TEAM!!

Can get +351 on non-gendered Cowpersons. That seems pretty good value.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Give it a minute and it’ll jump to +400

theeWeeBabySeamus

Orrrrrr…maybe not.

King Hippo

hee hee

Dunstan

Anybody here listen to the Poscast with Joe Posnanski and Michael Schur? The last episode discussed how insane it is that the NFL still uses the chain gang to determine first downs. It’d be about as accurate to use a magic eight-ball.

herodotus450

That the same Michael Schur from Parks and Rec?

Dunstan

Yep. And of Fire Joe Morgan. They talk more baseball than football, but it’s pretty fun.

herodotus450

They should just make the yellow line officiial. It’s probably close enough.

Ooooopsie. I see someone paid attention on “tip drill” day.

See, you really need that yard, send DAK DAK DAK DAK!, not Zeke.

Good thing Houston is as poorly coached as Dallas or this game would be over already.

Still trying to figure out why Verizon thinks having as its pitchman the most annoying guy on TV is a good thing

“Works for us!”

King Hippo

ha, beat me to it

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

Thomas Middleditch is really funny in Silicon Valley. Thomas Middleditch makes me want to help him shave his half-beard off with a chainsaw in Verizon.

Dunstan

Yeah, I’m only judging the commercial personality. I only watched one or two episodes of Silicon Valley.

Sort of like how Justin Long is fine in things like Dodgeball, but punchably smug in those “I’m a Mac/I’m a PC” ads.

King Hippo

they need to find the right product for the Satanist, I guess

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

They are so big now I don’t think they give a shit.

blaxabbath

Also, aren’t he coaches responsible for coaching the players to execute their schemes? I mean, hard to blame a player for being put in a position you never bothered to try and prepare him for.

Spur

oh, shit can you imagine Watson on Dallas?

Spur

Watson has a death wish.

Hee hee….Pugs with hands.

They’d take over the world if they had opposable thumbs.

how are suppose to make the receiver drop the pass?

King Hippo

didn’t even hit him in or with the head! Just no longer can try to knock the ball away, I guess.

“Those are some big men in that family, but you know what they’re afraid of?”
“Mama Pam?”
“I was gonna say heart disease but that works too.”

Viva La Tabula Raza

They didn’t mention that lady that went to work for Exxon-Mobil did so at 70% of the salary that a similarly-qualified male would earn.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

But at least she has little hope career advancement no matter what.

King Hippo

But they’ll throw her a nice baby shower and keep the sexist remarks to a dull rumble!
