Your “NFL, Consider Me Whelmed” Thursday Night Football Open Thread

There’s some sporto-related tidbits out there on the innerwebs so I thought I’d share-

Terrell Owens: Having finished his daily driveway workout, Mr. Owens told the cat lady at the corner that Eli Manning is ‘all washed up’. The rest of his day was spent arguing with drive-thru clerks at the major burger chains.

Hue Jackson: The ex-Browns coach rode the rails with Jim Tomsula and Ben McAdoo. The Hobo Daily News reports that Hue is said to be coming around on fried raccoon.

Jack Patera: The Seattle Seahawks very first coach will be tossing/catching salmon at a fish market in upstate Washington. He passed at the age of 85.

Willie McCovey: “Big Mac”, the owner of 521 home runs said farewell to this mortal coil.

Jameis Winston: Asked about his benching, Winston said a number of adult things. I’ll assume that tomorrow he’ll insist that he was mis-quoted.

TO THE GAME!

Raiders/Niners:

In a game “featuring” two one-win sides, tonight is all about Nick Mullen. As an undrafted free agent from Southern Mississippi newly-released from the practice squad, this is the first game that Nick has played in several years that actually matters. This tasty 6 foot 1 inch, 213 pounder has never packed groceries so you can forget about him being the second coming of the husband of Brenda Warner. No doubt he’ll be introduced to what passes for the Niners receiving corps at some point during the first quarter. Erwin Rommel was asked about Mullen being thrown to the Care Bears that is is the Raiders D-his reply was, “That’s quality tanking!”

Wipe the ‘anticipation spittle’ from the sides of your mouth before typing please.

We’re at the point that they’re using “Harvester of Sorrow” for NFL bumper music. Metallica’s debut was 35 years ago this past July. That year, the equivalent of this song would have been the “Woody Woodpecker” theme which was a #1 single in July 1948.

I remember being in a hardware store and I hear NIN “Closer” but it was the musak version.

I realized I was old then…

aw, snap, we should have encouraged y’all two to have a #ShameBet

Cosbies Fake FG WOO!!!!

Col. Duke LaCross

Nobody but the most degenerate out there is going anywhere near this game, but the Raiders (+2.5) against an unknown QB that couldn’t beat out CJ Bethard for the backup job in his first game is as close as there is to a sure thing, right? Right?

/Asking for a degenerate friend

King Hippo

Seeing how it was a pick ’em on my book…yeah

Sharkbait

I’m still in a sling for the next 5 weeks. Mrs Sharkbait is hell bent on hanging new blinds before Thanksgiving and is determined to start tonight. One drill bit has already been broken.

That’s why you need two sets of drill bits. A good one for you, and a cheap, Chinesium one for learners.

That’s the system I have with my kitchen knives

Sharkbait

These were definitely the chinesium bits

herodotus450

31 points in the 1st quarter of this UCF game, they’ll be lucky to be done by Saturday.

Who the fuck was THAT?? Guy with the hair

King Hippo

hey looky-loo, actually PLAYED Cook this week!

/each of my sides has 2 starters playing in this circlejerk of despair

litre_cola

No Cook tonight Hippo. Very problematic for me.

King Hippo

that will likely be his only target. I CAN NAE PICK TEs

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Nobody ever could have thought up a more perfect way to start this festival of incompetence.

King Hippo

Mullins looks like a Ladyboy version of Bollo de la Verdad

King Hippo

look at Carr, pretending to be a real boy!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I like how empty the stadium is at kickoff; nobody had any interest in leaving work early to get there on time.

Gatoraids

Yeah for essentially two home teams, tho giants jets would be similar

Viva La Tabula Raza

Welcome to Our World.

Carr’s beard makes me hope he gets Theisman’d. Jesus fuck that thing is awful.

Crazy guy singing on the train is using a lot of vibrato tonight.

Horatio Cornblower

This evening at Chez Cornblower…

Son (in basement on laundry retrieval duty): “Holy shit, there is a huge spider down here!”

Horatio: “Don’t step on it. I’ll get a glass.”

Son: “Good idea. If you throw it at it hard enough maybe it’ll leave.”

Old School Zero

I always did think that the best of you made it into your son. Please tell him I’ll give him a shiny quarter to throw a pie in Jacob Wohl’s face.

Horatio Cornblower

Pretty sure he’d do it for free, but I’m paying two college tuitions right now so, yeah, make with the quarter.

Also HEY WELCOME BACK!!!

I like that Bob Menendez has sex with random possibly underage prostitutes, it’s the only thing we have in common!

King Hippo

New Jersey seems like a state whose politics would lead me to ACTUALLY vote Libertarian.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

I got my ballot the other day and usually the Libertarian is in Column C, but so many other weirdo parties and people are running, they’re in Column F I think.

litre_cola

C for communist
D for dystopia party
E – Some weid dude named Elon
F for Fun Libertarians!

King Hippo

pot, gays, guns and NO TAXES!

King Hippo

Bingo shall be Mullins pulling an Orlovsky.

Petronel

And now we’ve gotten our two minutes of quality football footage for the evening.

ballsofsteelandfury

I really like Kristina Pink, but everytime I see her name, I think of Berman giving her the “Two In The” nickname.

King Hippo

Glad I’m not the only one.

/also, she fine*

*AND smart. But I do always recognize the FINE immediately.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

“Kristina Pink Eye throbs her way to the end zone”

King Hippo

/yes, I Moneyline bet the Cosbies, both halftime and whole game.

Gatoraids

Joe Buck deserves this game

King Hippo

Indeed. I wonder if they will dig up the desiccated (word Hippo always misspells) corpse of Brittfar to mumble cliches about this Mullins yokel to add to the shite stew.

Gatoraids

Raiders could not make the game as Gruden traded the team bus for a hypertube that was really just a big slinky.

King Hippo

Cosbies/Hitler Mice JV match is pretty nifty

Gratliff

KISS IS NOT RELEVANT STOP DOING THIS

What the FUCK is Erin wearing on her feet?!?!?

So. Did they win?

herodotus450

The more I think about it the more Hue Jackson is perfect as Jean Valjean, they both ran a factory!

Gratliff

Gruden just going full Trump on TV with the “Sure, people say we’re not doing it the right way, but do you have any idea how many people call me to tell me we did the absolute right thing? So many!” bullshit.

Gatoraids

Gruden just a humanitarian and doesn’t want anyone in Oakland to suffer in the long run because they miss the Raiders, bless him.

Beerguyrob

If you burn it down & salt the earth as you leave, nothing can ever grow there again, like fan bases.

Probably his brother and paid his kid to say such a thing

Who would have thought that Vegas would be turned into a hockey only town?

The Mueller rape accusation press conference was HILARIOUS!

Shit for brain trumpster made up a fake company. All his personal information is tied to it, including phone calls direct straight to his mother’s cell phone (he tried to claim he has no relationship with this intelligence company).

The rape supposedly occurred in New York. A reporter asked him why then was Mueller in DC serving jury duty on that day…to which the kid claimed that is a Washington Post plant.

Oh and it turns out that there are people coming out that the kid was offering folks $20k to show up to his stupid press conference and lie to the press.

This kid just tried to fuck with a federal investigation.

herodotus450

But libruls want to kill babies and enact sharia law so i’m still gunna vote R…

WCS

Their website had a supermodel and Oscar-winning actor Kristoph Waltz listed as company executives, under different names.

Gratliff

I cackled so hard when I saw the DNS registration with his fucking name on it

Col. Duke LaCross

To top it off, the dipshit kid’s sponsor’s fly was open during the entire thing.

Wakezilla

Isn’t that from Under Seige 2?

That’s perfect on many levels.

**Ahem** They’re called “Freedom Fries”.

Wakezilla

Well, this is another TNF game not worth watching. Enjoy the games, masochists.

WCS

If any NFL game has the actual possibility to finish 4-4, I don’t see how this one could be topped.

Wakezilla

4-4 shows too much defensive competency. Let’s say 3-3- or 6-6

WCS

All of the safeties come via botched snaps through the over the punter’s head, and the kick-off returners stepping out of and then reentering the endzone and taking a knee.

King Hippo

well, FUCK, now I’m intrigued!

Not starting Breida this week so I don’t have to pay attention to this game. That and his chance of spontaneous ACL combustion.

Remember when they said Thursday Night Football would be good this year?

GRUDEN: HOLD MY CORONA

JED YORK: Hold my Chablis.

I have heard this game referred to as the “Bosa Bowl” but I prefer to call it the “You make-a you momma cry” Bowl.

herodotus450

Things that have disproportionately pissed me off today: use of the word “subtweet;” gridlick; hockey games starting at 730 when they could start at 7.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It’s basically the same as tossing someone’s salad, but with robots.

herodotus450

Well you see when a man loves a sudoku puzzle very much…

Wakezilla

730 games are great when you live in the burbs and need to go downtown to watch a game. The extra half hour can make all the difference in the world to making puck drop
