Your “We Aren’t Family!” Sunday Night NFL Football Open Thread

Outside of Aaron and his family no one much knows why he and his family are estranged. In tonight’s episode of Wildly Irresponsible Speculation, I thought I/you (down below) might throw some ideas together as to the reasons. I’ll use some of my own experiences and those of people in the public spotlight to whip up some ideas.

-He was regarded as little other than a tool to accrue wealth for the whole gang. (MacCauley Caulkin)

-His porn star parents were extraordinarily disruptive on-set during his nascent film career. (Thora Birch)

-When he was kidnapped his family refused to pay the full amount of the ransom and he lost a part of his ear as a result. (J.P. Getty III)

-Now that he’s successful, his family thinks of him as a real, live ATM. (Dana Carvey)

-Father introduced him to coke and incest. (Mackenzie Phillips)

-Father accused him of having ‘mental issues’. (Angelina Jolie)

-Mother took him to court to get her monthly allowance raised from $7,500 to $10,000. (Leighton Meester)

-His mother’s spaghetti wasn’t really that good. (Eminem)

-His father tended to be very preachy. (Madonna)

-His parents were, in his words, “Tearing him apart!” (James Dean)

-His dad would walk through the house at all hours yelling “STELLA!” (Christian Brando)

I’m sure y’all can think of more. TO THE GAME!

Pack/Pats:

Edelman is in and Gronk and rb Michel might be out. They’re thought to be game-timers. Green Bay has been creative at getting pressure and that has resulted in 3.3 sacks per game to date. Clinton-Dix is gone so there may be some shuffling in the secondary. If you know what’s good for you, turn the damn audio off.

You’ve got something in your teeth.

Offsetting BS penalties?

Doktor Zymm

Although I’m not sure how ‘offsetting’ works when they’re all in the same directions…

Downfield Matriculator

Tuned in just in time to see the refs gifting the Patriots a first down. Same old story?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Do you really even need to ask?

Doktor Zymm

LOLOLOLOLOL

Spur

Jesus. Refs dont even try to hide the cheating.

Dolph Ucker

Bullshit call

Unsurprised

Evergreen

Horatio Cornblower

That’s a 5 yard call, at best.

Pure NE bullshit.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Yes, five yarder.

Mr. Ayo

HAIL BLEEEERGH!

WCS

Naturally.

Wakezilla

Morrison!!!!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

That was a right fine sack, but when you get an opportunity like that to put a knee into Tom Brady’s earhole, you really can’t pass it up.

Spur

Unnecessary roughness on the QB! Where is the Flag?

Wakezilla

How the hell was that not intentional grounding?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

#12

Horatio Cornblower

Oh, it very much was.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Tom Brady, working that ol’ black magic again.

Unsurprised

Aww

Doktor Zymm

Fun Fact! Despite talking about Beto having out of state support, Ted Cruz has actually accepted more Out of State Money!

Unsurprised

I guess Gauge got tired of getting buttfucked by creeps.

Horatio Cornblower

That’s called intentional grounding when anyone but Tawmmy does it.

Doktor Zymm

On a delay, but YUP, no eligible receiver anywhere

Horatio Cornblower

And not close to being out of the pocket.

Doktor Zymm

Oh god no, I didn’t even consider that part of the rule because not relevant!

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Doktor Zymm

For shits and giggles, this is my political ideology. Free market, where govt corrects market distortions, and a focus on human rights (which I shouldn’t have to specify, as it’s really a part of a free market, but we’re all fucking horrible, so I’m specifying it)

Horatio Cornblower

Mine is do unto other as you would have them do unto you, but never miss the chance to stab a banker.

Unsurprised

Human rights have never been compatible with the free market.

Doktor Zymm

Hard to say, but they’re definitely not compatible with a centralized economy or any form of socialism that has been implemented so far.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Christ, it’s only the first weekend of November and we’re already being assaulted by “buy a $75K vehicle for a Xmas gift” ads. And it probably won’t end until after the NCAA championship game. At least make some new ads, Mercedes!

Unsurprised

Horatio Cornblower

“Crowd rising as one…”

If you like that Cris, wait until the Foxboro crowd sees a black guy on their side of the street; they’ll cross the street en masse without breaking stride.

Wakezilla

Who’s calling these plays, Hue Jackson?

Viva La Tabula Raza

Might as well be. Fucking McDaniels.

Unsurprised

I can’t decide if I should go see a movie at 9:30.

Old School Zero

Which movie?

Unsurprised

Suspiria

Old School Zero

I would vote yes. I was going to go see it Wednesday but got hit by a head cold and didn’t feel like getting in the car.

Unsurprised

I might. I’m just not used to the cold and walking a mile each way.

Because downtown is already so pleasant in the middle of the night.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Is there a porn parody version you could watch instead?

Unsurprised

As I understand it, the original movie is the porn parody.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

John Shoop-esque playcalling right there

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

comment image

To be fair I did the same dance after I stubbed my toe on the fucking coffee table.

Dolph Ucker

Not sure I understand why they have to go for it here.

Dolph Ucker

And get out of here with your stats.

Wakezilla

If you can’t get a yard when you need to, then you don’t deserve to win, baby.

Wakezilla

Brady sneak

Wakezilla

I stand corrected. Kind of surprised they didn’t go with the sneak

Doktor Zymm

HOLY SHIT THIS COMMERCIAL IS AWFUL I NEVER WILL VOTE REPUBLICAN AGAIN

Old School Zero

Again?

Doktor Zymm

I’ll admit it hasn’t happened so far, but legit conservative ideology is not abhorrent. I maybe would have voted for Regan.

Unsurprised

I thought you were cool.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Regan would have made a great president, at least relative to what we have now.
comment image

rockingdog

post a link to it…

Viva La Tabula Raza

If the Republican PAC’s intent is to get me scared of brown people with all these fucking ads, it’s not fucking working.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

comment image

It reinforces the base.

Horatio Cornblower

Buddy, those ads aren’t aimed at anyone here.

Spur

This ad is racist as fuck and it’s embarrassing that NBC even put it on TV.

Unsurprised

They don’t get to say no.

(I assume this is a political ad. If if not, then never mind)

Doktor Zymm

They do actually, but they usually don’t

Unsurprised

Shit. I stand corrected.

Doktor Zymm

To clarify, they’re a business, they can legit refuse any client, but it would be highly unusual for them to do so, even if it’s an ad that advocates against them, because despite the fact that they have the power to refuse anyone, they usually don’t because they respect free speech

Horatio Cornblower

Fun fact: Joe Arapaio is the sheriff who released Bracamante.

Under GW Bush.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

“Nope.”

-Fox

Horatio Cornblower

Fair and balanced*, as always.

*the exact opposite

Unsurprised

.

Wakezilla

In sad real world news: US Militia groups are heading to the border after Agent Orange’s call of arms. Nothing will come from this, I’m sure

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Like the scene in V for Vendetta but with even worse teeth

yeah right

I want to bottle this day. Put a cap on it.
Then on days when life sucks I can take a small hit of it and remember a really amazing day.

I love you fucking people.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

We’ll take a ride in the Bang Hearse.

Spur

Anyone been to Billings, Montana? Just curious.

Mr. Ayo

I grew up there! So yes.

Spur

I’m planning a late Spring road trip to Yellowstone. Should i venture to Billings. I do like stopping at anything historical

Horatio Cornblower

I think Custer was in the area, albeit briefly.

Mr. Ayo

Oh god no. Nothing historical happened there.

Go to Battle of Little Bighorn or Pompey’s Pillar.

litre_cola

Yes many times.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Closest I’ve been is Malmstrom AFB in Great Falls, which, if it were in the Northeast, would be three states away.

yeah right

Nope.

Col. Duke LaCross

Several times. Both when I was playing and then coaching college golf, Rocky Mountain College in Billings was in our conference.

Horatio Cornblower

Nawt a TD!

Doktor Zymm

I don’t know about that…

Wakezilla

He didn’t get in!

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Horatio Cornblower

I was all set to bitch about the Patriots being bailed out by a shit call, but, yeah, that’s pretty much the definition of PI.

Unsurprised

May as well go flagrant against the P*ts because they’ll get the call anyway.

Spur

Pats cheating? Will i never…….

Horatio Cornblower

If you like period pieces about hookers, gays, porn and corruption in 1970’s NYC then a) you have very specific tastes and b) The Deuce started slow this season but ended very strong.

Doktor Zymm

Oi, JJFozz pass out? I’m not going to buy him drinks next time I’m in Baltimore if he can’t hang.

Spur

pumpkin pie > apple pie
pecan pie > pumpkin pie

Old School Zero

Generally agree, but I can make you an apple pie that will cure most minor psychological conditions. But I definitely think pecan pie is the best choice the night of Thanksgiving, and Pumpkin is the best breakfast choice.

Horatio Cornblower

Neither of you could be more wrong if you tried, and we haven’t even discussed blueberries or blackberries.

Old School Zero

Berry pies are not seasonal in the fall, but, yes, are superior most of the time.

Doktor Zymm

Blueberry pie is lovely. Pecan is weird, I love me some pecans, but the filling is not mostly pecan, it’s a topping. Give me a fruit pie with a pecan topping and we will talk. Lovingly.

Spur

the crust needs to be flaky and buttery to make Pecan pie right.

Old School Zero

Also, copious amounts of bourbon or rye enhance the filling exponentially

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Sweet potato pie > pumpkin pie

yeah right

Wait! I haven’t posted about my lemon meringue yet!

Doktor Zymm

If America has talent, why the fuck do we hire some asshole Brit to judge it?

Mr. Ayo

It’s a dry humoUr.

Doktor Zymm

I’m a fan of the extraneous ‘U’. Not a fan of the dickhead.

litre_cola

You know where I stand on this topic.

Old School Zero

Because we continually demonstrate to the rest of the world that we have poor judgement, especially concerning cultural things?

Doktor Zymm

I used to make the ‘we don’t all agree with the government’ argument, and everyone not horrible understood. I haven’t stayed in a hostel in a while, but should I do so soon, I will just say, “drinks are on me for the next 15 minutes,”

Unsurprised

Well lucky for you it was mostly the Semites who were getting branded…

rockingdog

come on james white! get me 2 more TD’s and 70 more yards!

Mr. Ayo

Sadly, Cordarrelle Patterson is the new RB. Better luck next week!

Senor Weaselo

So Walking Dead is going to try to live forever, right.

Unsurprised

Seems fitting.

Dolph Ucker

He looks like might have played basketball.

Spur

ok. Graham Down is ok with me.
