Your **checks notes** “This Isn’t A Bowl Game?” Saturday Evening Open Thread

Let’s get right to it! Welcome, fellow Commentists, to the first NFL Saturday night of the season.

And how is the NFL rewarding you for your patronage and fandom?

The Cleveland Browns versus the Denver Broncos.

Actually, in the previous decade, this game would have been such absolute dogshit most other networks would have programmed against it to win the ratings. But this year there is the intrigue of the success (?) Cleveland has made of their year. At this point last year, we would have been rooting for the Browns to either win their first game or run the table to 16-straight. This year, they have disposed of their head coach and somehow not yet permanently damaged their rookie QB. The net result so far is a 5-7-1 record, placing them…

third in the AFC North, a half-game up on the Bengals – which should FINALLY bring an end to the Marv Lewis era – and within catching distance of the Ravens (7-6) and the Steelers (7-5-1). Do you realize that we live in a world where there’s an outside chance the Browns could win their division?

The Broncos are faring cromulently, given that Case Keenum is their QB, the AIDS quilt is their offensive line, and Von Miller is about ready to kill the next teammate that costs them a victory. A 6-7 record is kind of surprising given the number of injuries & weird coincidences that have occured with them this year. If they could ever get ownership stability, they might have a chance to compete against the Chiefs & Chargers, once Andy Reid runs out of ideas & Marmalard retires to sire more children for his cult.

So pour yourself some bourble, grab some snacks,

sit back and let’s get through this together.

After seeing the announcers listed, i am so glad I am watching the game with the sound off.

Since the Chefs now have to win out no matter what, think I want the P*ts to beat the Yinzers.

Horatio Cornblower

I’m just hoping for a smorgasbord of injuries in that one.

Mayfield is the new Sexy Rexy. “Hmm, there’s five guys there. Two of ’em are ours. That means three of ’em are theirs…fuck it, I’m throwin’ it deep!”

this is Howard Stern appearing on the Magic Hour. Howard just humiliates him, watch it all if you can. But if you to to 33:40 you meet karen mcdougal. Yes, the karen mcdougal that was in love with Trump. Listen to her hate of Howard but now in retrospect we now she fucks and loved Trump.
