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.

They should do the self-taser test.

Senor Weaselo

He tased himself, bro.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Buddy of mine accidentally tazed himself once when we were at the theater. Once the meme back in the day became a thing, I’d always greet him with a “Don’t taze you, bro!”

Spanky Datass

“We’re on pace for NINTY-TWO points and over NINE hundred yards !!!” J. Tessitore, MNF

“Pffftt, big deal.” Big 12ish offences, weekly.

Viva La Tabula Raza

You’d think that the singers for a band called Chainsmokers would sound more like Marge’s sisters Patty and Selma.

SonOfSpam

And all the songs would be about MacGyver. Holy shit. This needs to happen.

Spur

The singing blonde has no ass but long legs

King Hippo

and the fashion sense of Stevie Wonder’s asshole

SonOfSpam

Next year’s FFL team will be called Blind Man’s Rectum.

Petronel

At least said asshole can play all the instruments itself

Viva La Tabula Raza

With it’s eyes closed.

Petronel

Song is kinda dumb…and millennials wonder why they get so much flak

Game Time Decision

Just like every other song of theirs
My kids are making fun of the song and how it sounds like their other stuff.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Sure seemed like lip-synching to me.

SonOfSpam

I really hope my company expects nothing from me tomorrow (as they usually do) because this game demands some superhuman drinking in the second half.

Spur

Folks.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I saw that in the theaters when it first came out. NOT James Bond, despite what they wanted you to think.

SonOfSpam

Ah, another old. Welcome to hell! Here’s some Metamucil.

Brick Meathook

HA HA MISSED EXTRA POINT! OH WELL

King Hippo

the power of Los Angeles compels you!

King Hippo

if it goes to OT and you lose the toss…have to kick onside, don’t ya?

Shan’khor giveth, and She taketh away!

Game Time Decision

So last possession wins?

ballsofsteelandfury

Yup. And I don’t trust Andy Reid to manage the clock correctly to get ther last possession.

WCS

PRAISE SHA’NKLOR

Sharkbait

Shan’klor wants in on the fun

Game Time Decision

Nailed it

King Hippo

fuckin’ hell, Kermit

The Maestro

Goddamn, this game is fun as shit.

Viva La Tabula Raza

This has gotten a lot better without all the flags.

King Hippo

still one heck of a throw

Senor Weaselo

Oh good, a special performance by The Chainsmokers, said nobody ever.

King Hippo

yeah, you should really buy a local, individually crafted one – Andy R.

litre_cola

Too bad Reid wasted two timeouts. He is the definition of clock manager.

Viva La Tabula Raza

And amazingly enough it didn’t really affect anything.

Senor Weaselo

Aaron Donald is good at the defensing.

King Hippo

made Mahomes-y mad though

The Maestro

Aaron Donald is not of this earth.

litre_cola

This game is incredibly entertaining. Too bad it will be a Brady Brees Superb Owl and the announcer fellatio will be incredible.

King Hippo

hooray, 2nd Superb Owl in a row I will boycott

10 BLEERGHs and up 1 with the ball (they get it to start Q3 too, right?)

Senor Weaselo

Smoothies, AND Senor gets to watch good footballing? Okay!

Sharkbait

I mean, I was happy they won when I was there, but Rangers… Tanking, you’re doing it wrong

King Hippo

they’ve speeded Buster up

yeah right

Got to admit this is a pretty fucking cool LA scene tonight.

Brick Meathook

I love the Olympic flame burning over the east pergola. (Hosted Olympics 1932 and 1984)

SonOfSpam

And 2028! (I know it’s cool to shit on the Olympics, but I’m a huge fan, especially in person)

King Hippo

there will be no life on the planet by then, silly

Senor Weaselo

At the least not in California, because it’ll be scorched off.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

That’s not true, there will be plenty of life in the oceans that cover the entire planet.

...

Uhh… about that…

Viva La Tabula Raza

I guess if you count mutated plastic eating plankton feeding on the Great Pacific Trash Vortex as “life,” you’re right.

Brick Meathook

THE MISSED EXTRA POINT!

King Hippo

you called it, dude

hippofant

Uhh was Eric Fisher blocking TWO Rams at once?

SonOfSpam

KHUNTDOWN

King Hippo

Buster! NO!!

litre_cola

Yuge turnover. RAMMMIT has dominated but could go in to halftime down 1.

King Hippo

wait, John Goodman ain’t fat no more? Cancer or AIDS?

Sharkbait

Cocaine.

litre_cola

Speed, he had a few down years.

tomsellecksmoustache

GIVE ME THE BOOGER ANGLE.

SonOfSpam

Are you still talking about Eva Green?

tomsellecksmoustache

God. Damn. Hat tip to you sir. Get a glass of bourbon and take the night off.

SonOfSpam

Currently drinking Stella Artois (IT WAS ON SALE, OK?) and I have work* to do, but thanks anyway.

*moar drinking

tomsellecksmoustache

Its true, never meet your heroes. Stella Artois is never redeemable. You were so much better just a few minutes ago.

SonOfSpam

You sound like every woman I’ve ever disappointed sexually, which is all of them.

hippofant

Was that a penalty?

Does it become a penalty because it was Suh?

litre_cola

Just got stoned and went to the fridge to fetch my left over pizza from last night. I thought that I had 3 pieces left but I actually have 4. The amount of happiness I got from this is far, far more than it should be.

SonOfSpam
King Hippo

Imagine how fun this game would be if the refs allowed it to get any rhythm

litre_cola
tomsellecksmoustache

Oh Eva Green, my face is so cold as I’m sure your thighs are. Let’s work out a deal.

Sharkbait

BLEERGH demands another offering

King Hippo

Good to see that “Officials: Make Yourself Teh Star!” week didn’t end on Sunday

The Maestro

Andy Reid is gonna have an aneurysm if the Chiefs take any more penalties. Unless the cholesterol finally gets to him first.

SonOfSpam

He’ll probably have a flaneurysm.

Brick Meathook

I love the L.A. Coliseum. Opened in 1923. That’s a real stadium, folks, even if all us Angelenos are completely fake.

King Hippo

There Will Be Quartered Backing

Sharkbait

Pls no. Take pity on Sharkbait

Senor Weaselo

They give tWBS a 6% chance that Hill, Kelce, and Gurley combine for less than 0.94 points from here on out.
/Watch they do just that now.

blaxabbath

Democrats should upon a Benghazi style investigation into Ivanka’s emails. Drag in every single individual and grill them on their role in Trump-Russia-UAE-Saudi Arabia-China-Qatar-Israel. And act all apologetic like, “look, we just need to do this because of the records act. So please just answer these simple questions honestly and we’ll all be on our way.”

Then literally (not figuratively) crucify anyone who isn’t completely forthcoming and truthful.

King Hippo

HBO would pay out the ass to televise them crucifixions!

SonOfSpam

And it would be a lot more arousing than “Real Sex” ever was.

Senor Weaselo

Well that’s what you get for having Bryant Gumbel host it.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Crucifixion’s a dawdle. At least it gets you out in the fresh air. Better than being stabbed, anyway.

tomsellecksmoustache

Why not literally? I think Gowdy tried to introduce legislation for that very thing.

...

Twitter wants me to follow Ross Douthat lol

Only if he tweets only stories about William F. Buckley definitely not grooming him during a skinny dipping excursion.

The Maestro

Man, have you seen the Ralph Douthat account that combines screenshots of Ralph Wiggum with lines from Douthat’s columns? It is art, man.

https://twitter.com/ralphdouthat?lang=en

...

I don’t think it has tweetes recently but yeah, it’s so good

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Ugh. This pisses me off. Reid is gonna win this challenge, even though the cornerback already had his hands all over the receiver when the ball left Goff’s hand.

ArmedandHammered

And the ears of corn will score on the next play anyway.
