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.

Dang.

Col. Duke LaCross

Welp.

hippofant

This game deserves to end in a 16-16 tie that will forever have people asking, “Wtf, 16-16?”

King Hippo

the “Roy Moore threesome”

Gratliff

Oh please give me Dallas heartbreak

Hopkins is always open

King Hippo

500s should have run and played for OT

Viva La Tabula Raza

I don’t have to work tomorrow, and have plenty of booze and herb, so OT would be welcome.

yeah right
King Hippo

a band ahead of their time, 100%

Mr. Ayo

Stay in bounds you mental dunce

Pfft. I have a release time of 5 seconds or less, too, and I don’t hear anyone praising me for that

Viva La Tabula Raza

Wonder how much that videogame company paid Matthews to use his image. Kinda funny and timely.

Gratliff

I wish the CoD games weren’t such garbage now. I really appreciated that Clay Matthews ad.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I am 16 out of 40 steps done with an Ikea dresser.

Wakezilla

That’s nothing. I recently set up a toy kitchen set for Toddlerzilla. I think there was 48 or 49 steps.

Who’s the dumbass that decided to eat ghost pepper jam this time of day?

guilty.

I haven’t cried this hard since Wayne Static died.

Senor Weaselo

Homemade? Second, if homemade, can you send me a recipe? Need to do that with the eighty bajillion tWBS sent me.

yeah right

Not in this case but was in the audience.

Oh the ghost pepper jam? NO it’s the Ghost Scream thing!

The garlic pepper jam dealie.

Go for it!

Houston, go home, you’re drunk.

The Maestro

DOINK!!!!

Gratliff

What’s the deal with the color border on those Texans hats?

Wakezilla

Quasi Yuge BC LioUns news:

Statement from Jonathon Jennings’ agent: “Jonathon is one of the first to arrive to work every day. Ed would know this if Ed weren’t one of the last. Like many quarterbacks, Jonathon’s routine is to do additional film study on his own at home every night.”

Ed Hervey is the BC LioUns’ GM

Shot. fired.

theeWeeBabySeamus

This is a shitty game.

/remembers Ravens/Browns from earlier

THIS IS A GREAT GAME!!!!!!!

King Hippo

but this ain’t so bad it;s GOOD

Wakezilla

“Since the start of Super Bowl XLIX, teams have now thrown four times — FOUR TIMES! — at the 1-yard line with Marshawn Lynch on the field. Following Derek Carr’s interception, those passers are 0-4 with 2 Int on those passes, per ESPN Stats & Information”

Unsurprised

Holy shit, this is a stupid sport.

Spur

calling it a night on the interwebs.

Last team to derp wins this.

Wakezilla

Clowney with another missed tackle

nomonkeyfun

Leonard Marshall would be shot on the spot for that hit on Montana if it happened today.

theeWeeBabySeamus

/wonders why black guys paint up with eye black
//seems redundant
///puts self in timeout again for making this comment

hippofant

Eye black doesn’t reflect light as much as skin does. Even black skin will reflect light, especially with oil and sweat.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Dude….it was just a joke.
Granted, a bad joke.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

Holy shit! I just saw the end of that SpaceX launch on my balcony and that was amazing!

theeWeeBabySeamus

They launched off of your balcony? You might need some repairs soon.

I know a guy.

yeah right

Vandenberg bitches! Reusable Space-X shit.

Or so I heard.

Wakezilla

How is it that the NFL has rigged it so the offense should be able to score at will, yet we constantly get low scoring games?

comment image?w=780

Spur

coaching staffs. Dallas and Texans are neolithic

Wakezilla

What would you consider Clowney? Bust? Worth the #1 overall pick? Serviceable player?

comment image

King Hippo

He serviceable

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

comment image

Unsurprised

I never knew ODB was a clown.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Certainly a disappointment when compared to the anticipation created when he was drafted, but as Hippo says, serviceable.

Spur

Bust. The hype when drafted and the fact JJ Watt clears at least 1 lineman with help. The guy isn’t causing mayhem every down.

King Hippo

the 500s should consider handing off the next 7 or 8 plays, until Watson remembers what a football is

Dont hurt yourself celebrating Clowney.

Zeke just got mashed trying to pass block.
That was funny.

King Hippo

The word “mashed” made me imagine Zeke as a cockroach, The Metamorphosis-style. This also made me chuckle.

King Hippo

It’s almost like the non-gendered Cowpersons could use some skill players.

yeah right

I can not in any way root for that Dallas running back. He failed at life.

Spur

he looks like a GHB’ed Ewok. You dont like the Ewoks?

yeah right

I fucking hate ewoks.

Gratliff

The only good praxis

nomonkeyfun

Ok Kevin Smith.

yeah right

Will accept.

Unsurprised

Holy shit.

Viva La Tabula Raza

It’s not hard to understand why the Texans are 1-3.

King Hippo

missing the connective tissue so to speak. Also Coach Buttchinski.

Spur

I swear the Texan coaches want to kill Watson

King Hippo

I’m Trent Green! How did I get so dark??

Unsurprised

Open your eyes, Trent.

yeah right

I’m not sure that’s a good taco.

King Hippo

come on, Hopkins. Do a thing.
