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.

yeah right

Switching to bourbon to help make some sense of this shit.

Horatio Cornblower

I can tell you that scotch isn’t helping.

...

47-44 has never been a final score, but 54-44 has been and I’ll be kinda pissed if we end there.

ballsofsteelandfury

What about 54-47?

...

That would be. Pretty much any game with 54 points is a unique score.

Petronel

WE WANT 100!
WE WANT 100!

Viva La Tabula Raza

Dude there’s still 9 minutes. That’s another 30 points or so.

...

*rubs hands together excitedly*

Senor Weaselo

I think Horatio’s first to 77 comment might be about right.

Horatio Cornblower

Kansas City should just put in Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson at this point, because why the hell not?

King Hippo

that makes 47!

/and a very precarious lead because we have entered an alternate dimension of space and time

Petronel

The average duration of a lead in this game has to be ridiculously low.

...

This is basically real life NFL Blitz

Horatio Cornblower

Only a matter of time until Joe Tessitore worked in a boxing analogy, the sport that he is much, much, much better at announcing than football.

...

SCORE ALL THE TOUCHDOWNS

Game Time Decision

Defenses optional here

King Hippo

I think all the coaches have said “fuck it, just go for the ball”

Viva La Tabula Raza

The 92 points the announcers touted at end of 1st half certainly seems quite within reach.

Horatio Cornblower

The NFL should really reschedule more games from Mexico City.

King Hippo

that was a really nifty play for a fat guy there

The Maestro

This is so much fucking fun. My god.

Petronel

This game is such a wonderfully high-grade lasagna of batshit.

A game that actually lives up to its hype. Loving it.

Sharkbait

Banana. Cakes.

King Hippo

If you like scotch, I highly recommend it.
If you don’t like scotch, I highly recommend you buy some and give it to me.

Senor Weaselo

This is officially bananacakes now, right?

yeah right

Bananacakes. Achieved!

...

Holy shit this game is a fucking trip

King Hippo

Dr. Timothy Leary for NFL Commish

yeah right

Ken Kesey as biographer.

King Hippo

I have to say it, Andy Reid has coached a really good game here.

ballsofsteelandfury

Just wait…

King Hippo

there can be no losers in this batshit

...

We have a better than 50/50 chance of scorigami because these fuckers can’t stop scoring.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Taunting is awesome. I think we need more of it.

Viva La Tabula Raza

The uniforms and pads kind of preclude it, but I think actual dick-waving would make the game more interesting.

Col. Duke LaCross

Holy shit!

King Hippo

this would make a great Superb Owl. Set ratings records.

ballsofsteelandfury

Fuck you with your taunting calls, NFL. Go fuck yourselves!

The Maestro

You roast your defender like that and score, you get to do whatever the fuck you want to celebrate. I will become commish and make the changes needed.

King Hippo

Does the taunting fit the crime? In this case YES, so no foul

...

FUCK IT I’M THROWING IT DOWNFIELD

Senor Weaselo

Never mind.

The Maestro

Good god.

Horatio Cornblower

THAT PLAY, I CALL IT TYREEK HILL’S PREGNANT GIRLFRIEND, BECAUSE HE BEAT THE HELL OUT OF THAT DEFENDER!!!

Sharkbait

Well that was impressive.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Holy fuck.

Senor Weaselo

Chefs starting to try to do too much methinks.

King Hippo

/they got better

Horatio Cornblower

“And Hill’s gonna return it from the 1!?”

Uh, what else was he gonna do with it, Joe? Down it?

...

I love how ABInBev can square the circle of running their anti-elitist Bud Light ad campaign with the fact they’ll be selling Bourbon County beers for $40 a bottle this week.

Horatio Cornblower

The mouthbreathers that respond to that ad have no idea that Bud has anything to do with Bourbon County.

Viva La Tabula Raza

“Fuck Bourbon, gimme Jack Daniels or Southern Comfort.”

King Hippo

why pay $4 for good beer at the bar wen u can have a glass of horse piss for $3.75 ,, suck it libtards

ballsofsteelandfury

I haven’t seen a beer for $4 at a bar in years.

...

Last night I paid $3 for a Three Floyds beer, so it still happens.

ballsofsteelandfury

You are also in the midwest.

...

I’m in Chicago, which is despite what you’ve heard around here not *that* Midwest.

And even in the actual Midwest, $3 beers aren’t common. Anything “craft” is probably $5.

King Hippo

that’s a good advertisement for not-moving

Horatio Cornblower

You need to go to an ethnic social club. $1 Heineken’s at the local Ukranian Club out this way.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Why did they take the penalty instead of the sack?

The Maestro

Eh, try and go play-action, then pass deep and make up the yardage and keep a spare down? I mean, that was the intent… and then it was incomplete. But that’s my best guess.

Col. Duke LaCross

“Sack? Of White Castles?”

First to 77 wins?

“Eddie Griffin, I don’t want to say your films set race relations back 50 years, but when they showed Undercover Brother at the Loews’ Theater, they made the audience members use separate bathrooms.”

Horatio Cornblower

I make it a point to never watch more than 3/5 of his films.

I kid, I kid.

I don’t watch a minute of any of them.

King Hippo

I mean, I know I’m a fucking lunatic, but think you have to consider going for it there

Senor Weaselo

Fuck it, I’m throwing a bullet.

I haven’t seen a call that bad since Mrs. Lincoln demanded to go to the theater.

Viva La Tabula Raza

“Aside from that, what did you think of the play, Mrs Lincoln?

Viva La Tabula Raza

Hand looked like it was going fwd.

Senor Weaselo

That’s getting overturned, arm was moving well forward.

King Hippo

but the ball didn’t leave his had before the defender had hold of it

King Hippo

holy shit, that really might be FUMBRE?
