Your “Come One, Come All”* Monday Night Football Open Thread

ESPN has been shoving this game down our throats and I don’t blame them one bit. Back in my bartending days, the Monday Nighter was must-see football. I had the dining room shift at the time and myself and the wait staff would shoo prospective diners up to the second floor area and towards the appetizer menu. We’d close up shop and rendezvous at a bar by the name of “TRAMPS”. The joke that I told to my girlfriend at the time (now wife) was that the place was owned by all my ex-girlfriends. That went over well, btw.

The greatest tilt I’ve ever witnessed on the first day of the work week was a 7-3 Niners win over the Giants way back in ’90. You (and makers of listicles) can have your “Jets Miracle Comeback” or your “Montana Squeaks by the Broncos” or your “Rook RB Earl Campbell Runs Wild” or your “Marino Gives The ’85 Bears Their Only Loss”. (that one is a very close second) The intensity of play between San Fran and NY was only matched by the NFC Championship game later on that year. I’ve never seen anything like it since. TO THE GAME!

Chiefs/Rams:

What can I say? KC’s only loss is to the Pats. The Rams sole L was to the Saints. No one has found a way to stop Mahomes to this point and Goff’s at-home QBR rating is a bananacakes-sponsored 126.5. This isn’t a chess game. This is speed-checkers.

King Me!

Hot Ones got picked up my MSG? I should probably try my Last Dab Reduxx, right?

Doktor Zymm

Waiting for my stupid computer to update, how awesome is it so far?

litre_cola

Do you like flags Zymm????

Doktor Zymm

Ah, one of THOSE games

Senor Weaselo

Did you try downloading more RAM?

SonOfSpam

That’s funny, which is weird because it isn’t. But it’s funny.

SonOfSpam

Game hasn’t started due to field conditions. Will be moved to Ixtapa.

hippofant

Is… is Andy Reid going to challenge a play AFTER burning his second time-out? Does he get the time-out back, or is this going to enter the annals of horrible Andy Reid clock management?

King Hippo

I hope the call stands, just for the hilarity of it

hippofant

Well, he only lost one timeout for it, but man, it would have been great if Andy had managed to lose two timeouts on the same play. It’s almost entirely against the rules and he’d still have found a way to do it.

SonOfSpam

I hope it lubes up before entering the annals.

hippofant

Do Rams’ receivers even need to run routes right now? What if they just ran in straight lines and Goff threw at them? They’d probably just get tackled anyways, right?

Senor Weaselo

Evening lizard people. In the past 24 hours I have had both “Thank you, brother” AND “I love you” said to me. Pop quiz, which one was Senorita Weaselo and which one was the gas station attendant?

SonOfSpam

Trick question. Both were said by your right hand to your penis.

Senor Weaselo

Absolutely not! Because I’m left-handed.

SonOfSpam

That would just make the right hand more exotic and alluring.

litre_cola

Was the gas station attendant cute?

The Maestro

Trick question! It was both!

Second trick question! Senorita Weaselo is both!

Sharkbait

Was that a flag or did a part of the Rams uniform come apart?

SonOfSpam

Some blonde bim apparently used her personal e-mail account for government communications. Looking forward to everyone being really consistent vis-a-vis their collective belief that said bim should be locked up.

hippofant

LOCK HER UP

The Maestro

Since A) it was Ivanka, B) they’re the biggest fucking hypocrites and C) consistently have Stage 4 Smooth Brain Syndrome, ain’t never gonna happen… but a man can dream, I suppose!

Viva La Tabula Raza

The hypocrisy exhibited over the past 2 years has absolutely stunningly breathtaking.

blaxabbath

You already know the answer.

Sharkbait

I’m sure there will be a calm, rational reaction to this news.

litre_cola

Moar flags!

King Hippo

tell ol’ Pharoah…let that kickoff go!

King Hippo

Wade Wilson sighting!!

Viva La Tabula Raza

Ex-NFL QB or Marvel superhero?

King Hippo

they gave Wade Wilson a comic franchise?

Viva La Tabula Raza

Isn’t that the name of that Deadpool guy? Maybe I’m confused.

SonOfSpam

(Hippo’s old. Forgiveness please.)

blaxabbath

I’m having a fire in my backyard.

In my chiminea, Californians. It’s called personal responsibility.

King Hippo

beautiful throw

The Maestro

I personally believe that since Mexico City was a no-go for this game, it should’ve been moved to a neutral field, such as Wichita.

King Hippo

let ’em play in Bolivia

Big Red vs. the Khmer Rouge… WHO YA GOT???

This… what is this? This doesn’t work. This isn’t working. Stop trying to make this work, ESPN.

King Hippo

the floor is now yours, Kermit

jjfozz

The world is going to absolute shite, but look! Your selfies will turn out better! Go die, human race.

Sharkbait

Fact. We’re all terrible

The Maestro

Evening, folks. I see RAMMMMMMIT!!! is already in high gear.

King Hippo

LA deserves this showcase, for being such a GREAT NFL town!

Brick Meathook

WE HAVE SO MANY TEAMS WE CAN’T REMEMBER THEM ALL

Col. Duke LaCross

Moar Flags for the flag gods!

THIS KC DEFENSE I CALL THEM GRU BECAUSE THEY’RE LETTING DUDES IN YELLOW RUN ALL OVER THE PLACE

I DEMAND MOAR FRAGS!!!!!!

Vintage Andy Reid timeout. Just perfect.

...

He needed to break to regain his focus after thinking about all the things he could eat with the contents of all those animate mustard bottles.

jjfozz

Whenever I see Andy Reid:

The Maestro

This is funny, if only because the only tomatoes that Andy Reid’s ever eaten have come in some variety of sauce.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Ketchup is a vegetable!

King Hippo

I Was Told There Would Be No Vegetables – working title, Andy Reid biography

Just let these fuckers play.

King Hippo

Y’all, we are gon’ see so much KHunt tonite

Petronel

The Coliseum sounds loud as hell right now.

jjfozz

If you can find it, Old Line Single Malt Whiskey is a fucking triumph in a bottle. Brewed right here in Bawlmer

Brick Meathook

That missed extra point will come back to haunt the Rams.

WCS

XEROX OF FATE MAYBE

jjfozz

The over for this game is 576

jjfozz

Lamar Jackson, pissing off Baltimore rednecks than MLK ever did.

Petronel

If you didn’t know who was playing, you could be forgiven for glancing at the uniforms and wondering why the Chiefs were beating up on this DIII college team.

Petronel

…and by “beating up on” apparently I mean “being massively embarrassed by”

litre_cola

Evenin, I see it is a flagkakke already.

jjfozz

Good evening, you sadistic trologytes. What in fuck is up?

King Hippo

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!!

hippofant

Am I the only one that thinks it’s weird/craven for the NFL to honor all these first responders, but not… you know… any of the other people who died?

WCS

Dead people can’t buy official NFL licensed merchandise.

Viva La Tabula Raza

“Honor the dead? I’ll handle that!”

WCS

Here’s a stunning development:

Now that elections are over, the Pentagon will begin drawing down the military presence at the southern border.

REMEMBER FOLKS, NOBODY TREATS OUR TROOPS BETTER THAN ME

Viva La Tabula Raza

As much of a pain in the ass as Operation Frightful Idiot was/will continue to be at work for me, I’m happy that it did not have its intended effect. Little too transparently cynical I guess.

Petronel

Meanwhile, over on BBC America:

Is it possible to damage DVRs by pausing and rewinding them on the same spot, like VCRs of days of yore?

tomsellecksmoustache

Nah, but if you’re really worried I’m sure someone has uploaded clips of “Stephanie Broadchest” to the internet.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Old dude on the field with sweatshirt reading CHIEFS KINGDOM. Shouldn’t it be CHIEFS CHIEFDOM? Kingdoms have kings, not chiefs.

herodotus450

Well there’s Chiefs Chefdom, but that’s just the native american culinary school I went to for a semester.

Brick Meathook

I hear that they call corn “maize”

Wakezilla

Also, there should be an apostrophe after the S because it’s possessive

Senor Weaselo

Today I learned that sachem and sagamore were Algonquin words for chief! Thanks dioramas in the gymnasatorium that I teach strings in!

Wakezilla

This feels like we’re going to get a 35-31 type classic that MNF will remind us every week for years. With that said, it’s MNF, so, I fully expect a 18-15 field goalkakke

yeah right

Going to scrape my last remaining nickels and dimes together to bet the over. Got to rebuild that nest egg somehow. $6.21 on the line!

Viva La Tabula Raza

David Carr looks like one of the Trump boys. That’s rough.
I think NFL Network is being a bit disingenuous in listing “Won SB XLVI with NYG” in Carr’s qualifications to pontificate. Really? What was his QBR in that game.

WCS

He still got sacked three times despite not playing a down.

Wakezilla

Nacho Sanchez bringing his cheese to babysitting gigs in DC. C’mon Tits, sign Kaep, damnit!

Viva La Tabula Raza

Since when does Forbes Magazine review computer games, and I wonder how many gamers make purchases based upon those reviews.

WCS

See: Ben Shapiro

Wakezilla

Probably Colin Jost

ArmedandHammered

I think it is mainly so they have something to actually discuss with their children. Or maybe they play violent games so they can get the visceral thrill of hearing the moans and painful deaths that they miss as they destroy lesser companies and consign plebeians to lives of misery and futility in their day to day lives as the 1%.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Your latter scenario checks out.

King Hippo

It wasn’t just me noticing the zebra madness:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zsGzpW-wgc

blackroseMD1

It wasn’t. The refs were absolutely awful all around. After that ridiculous OPI call late in the game against the Broncos, I literally screamed at my TV “just let them play, you fucks!”.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Without doing any research at all, I’m going to assume Jets miracle comeback was against the Dolphins. That one really sticks in my mind.
Now I’m gonna go look up what year that was. I can’t even remember what decade, but I’m thinking 1990s.

Edit: 2000. Both teams were 5-1, Pats still lost in the wilderness. Dennis Fucking Miller in the booth.

I’m boycotting this game since it isn’t in Mexico.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Well, if I’m not mistaken, there are many Mexicans in Los Angeles, so there’s that.

For once, this game might actually live up to the hype.
