Your “Scraping the bottom of the barrel Sunday Night Football Open Thread

Evening all.  I know this usually starts with a quick recap the of the afternoon “games”, but as of writing this post, most are still in the first half and I won’t be around for much of the second halves (damn kids and family dinner).  If there was only a way to, like, look somewhere, for this kind of information.  So, you’re on your own to find out the scores and anything funny that happened.  Or, have some patience and wait for Mr Hippo’s post early tomorrow. ( look boss, I’m plugging the site and to have them come back.  page hits, baby).  Enough of me rambling, on to the event.

NO/MIN

Will Bresus through for a zillion yards? Will he break whatever record the talking heads keep blathering about?  Will Cousins like that?  Will Thielen continue that +100 receiving years streak?  Looking at my fantasy leagues, I see Diggs and Kamara in one and Bresus in the other.  So what I would like to see is the Minny defense shut The Aints down and then the Minny offense run up the score to keep Diggs and Kamara out of it and hope that Brees doesn’t have a good game.  But, things like that never happen for me, so congrats to whoever has those three.  They’re going off today fantasy wise.

As for the actual game itself, it’s prob going to be watchable with a good offense against a good defense , but what do I know.  But still hoping for the tie.

Is it wrong for me to think of Garret Morris’s Chico Escuela when I listen to Eduardo Nunez’s interview? Probably.

Brick Meathook

I’m just curious, but it seems, at least to me, that there are a lot of Red Sox fans here tonight. Or at least there are a lot of commenters who are happy the Red Sox won, for whatever reason (hometown, gambling, alcoholism, etc).

Am I wrong?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

There is enough Boston hate to make up for it.

I think it’s because the Dodgers managed to have more hateable players on their team. Plus, Roberts was just horrible.

Brick Meathook

Wow, you have to be pretty bad that people root for the Red Sox as the “good” team. I guess I live in a bubble.

Why do they think it’s necessary to give a $60K pickup truck to someone who can afford cars that cost into 6 figures? “I’ll give that shit to my yardboy Juan.”

Brick Meathook

Rich folks in L.A. have Japanese gardeners.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

That’s why they lost

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Rich folks never lose.

Unsurprised

I’m sure it’s some kind of tax scam.

On the bright side, no more baseball?

Dodgers halfway to being the Buffalo Bills!

Brick Meathook

Yeah but the weather is nicer.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Until the earthquakes show up.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Or the droughts, mudslides, and wildfires.

Brick Meathook

You guys watch too much TV.

Brick Meathook

My father grew up in Lackawanna when it was a steel town and I still have relatives there who did well for themselves. I love Buffalo, I really do.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I dated a nice Jewish girl from Buffalo for 15 years. Unfortunately she started to turn into her father, and I decided that I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life with a bossy cranky old Jewish guy from Buffalo, so I pulled the plug.

Brick Meathook

If you date someone for 15 years you are married. Been there. Possibly with the same woman.

Viva La Tabula Raza

She wanted to stay in the city and didn’t want to move out to the country with me. We never lived together, so I consider it a long unfinished betrothal.

Brick Meathook

Also, speaking as a good Catholic boy, nice Jewish girls are awesome girlfriends.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I went to high school for three years in Redlands. I fucking loved it and was horrified when my dad got orders to Texas.
But that doesn’t prevent me from playing the “falling into the sea” narrative whenever I can make a stereotyping snarky comment on the internet!

yeah right

See you down in Arizona Bay!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

All the Dodgers hopes rest on the shoulders of an asshole.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I know most non-New Englanders will probably disagree, but both Dirty Water and Shipping Up to Boston are kickass tunes.

yeah right

Did I tell you the story of when I was on stage with the Dropkick Murphy’s on my birthday?

yeah right

It goes something like this: I was on stage with the Dropkick Murphy’s on my birth day.
That’s all I got.

Viva La Tabula Raza

That’s a fucking awesome story!!!

Petronel

No one (in Boston) denies this.

More Collinsworth shlobbing Brady’s knob. DRINK!

Mr. Ayo

Wow. This couldn’t be happening to a nicer or more deserving team and fan base.

Brick Meathook

Are you watching the NHRA Finals in Vegas too?

Mr. Ayo

Of course. Love the quarter mile.

That’s a normally aspirated engine now.

In a parallel universe they don’t even keep score, and the winner of a game is entirely derived from social media “impressions” or sum such.

King Hippo

why teh rush, Dingleberry?

litre_cola

This is some good clock wasting right here.

King Hippo

when ur down 3 scores, PERFECT time to use up 60% of the remaining clock!

herodotus450

Did someone set this game to 10 minute quarters? It might be over in less than 3 hours.

How was your aviation immersion this weekend?

Outstanding thank you! Just got off the train a little while ago, DC is pretty whack, in a good way.

Brick Meathook

My hometown! Well, Arlington is.

Spent the night in Alexandria with my sis-in-law and her husband, she dropped me off in Old Town this morning to hang out, really nice but $$$.

Who’s more likely to secretly have capitves in his basement, Brees or Cousins?

Cousins. His fucked up steak cooking is a cover for eating transients he keeps in the basement.

Cousins. He flings the basement door open and throws food from a Wendy’s dumpster at them and yells “YOU LIKE THAT!?”

deffo Cousins, he seems like a possible “wearer of others’ skins”

I ate dinner and am still hungry. Trying to have self restraint is overrated.

No, you had an appetizer. Still need to have the main course.

Just realized that the only 3 non-division games the Eagles have during the second half are Rams, Saints, and Texans. Fuuuuuuuuuuck.

Mr. Ayo

I’d pencil them in for 1-2 if it helps.

Davenport with a potential strip sack, but was it Najeh or Lindsey? Couldn’t tell.

Lindsey Buckingham?

WTH are you doing Cousins?

herodotus450

All runs scored off home runs? WEIRD.

Prepare yourselves for Maximum Massholes

Viva La Tabula Raza

It’ll be even worse if’n “we” win the SB in February as well.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Darkest Timeline.

Brick Meathook

You’re a Pats fan? In Texas? Root for whoever you want but I thought stuff like that was illegal in Texas.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Native Masshole, been a Pats fan since I was 8 years old (over half a century now). I make no excuses or offer any apologies. But since I’ve been in TX for over 40 years, I don’t come across as your average mouth-breathing Sully..

Brick Meathook

No apologies needed. I was just curious about the narrative. Embrace your Massholeness.

Of course, the Dodgers (as of this writing) haven’t lost yet and can still win the series, and then the Rams win the Superb Owl, and then LeBron and the Lakers and that guy and the Kings both win, and then all bets are off on smugness.
