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.

Wow! Greggggggg is a psychopathic shitbag, but he’s at least he let his defense play defense there.

Horatio Cornblower

I mean, that’s pretty much every NFL coach.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

DAMN YOU!!

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Those are the top qualifications for an NFL head coach.

Spur

Jesus. that was nuts. I rather be a Dallas fan then cheer for the Browns.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

OK, you’ve got a point.

Doktor Zymm

I don’t know about that

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Plus blue, white, and silver go with more stuff than brown and orange….. maybe.

King Hippo

Horatio Cornblower

Amazon is hiring.

JustStopDude

Josh Cribbs was hired by the Browns this year to be a special teams intern.

This is not a joke…

Horatio Cornblower

Another first down ruined by over-coaching.

King Hippo

Hue Jackson is challenging the decision to go for it.

Doktor Zymm

The look on the hippo’s face when the bite didn’t work is the same look I had the morning after the 2016 elections.

(turns on TV) “Oh my God, it really happened.”

Horatio Cornblower

Denver playing like a team intent on moving up two spots in the draft.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Yeeeeep.

Senor Weaselo

And on cue…

yeah right

Know what?

I’m gonna make a pie.

Not a “pie” pie but something like it.

Dude!

Quiche!

I’m making fucking quiche tomorrow.

Doktor Zymm

No shit! I’m making quiche tomorrow! QUICHE TWINS

Horatio Cornblower

Someone remind Yeah Right tomorrow that he’s making a pie-like meal.

yeah right

I left a five pound bag of flour out as a reminder. And a wedge of this glorious swiss style cheese.

/Awkwardly hiding food boner.

Horatio Cornblower

/calls Yeah Right up to the blackboard to write out the recipe.

...

He’s so high going to make it actual flowers.

Doktor Zymm

Wait wait wait…you put flour in your quiche?!

yeah right

Quiche is prepared in a pastry shell yes?

Horatio Cornblower

And so began DFO’s “Quiche Wars”, not quite as bloody as the KSK “Girl Scout Cookie Wars”, but still terrible in their own right.

Doktor Zymm

Ah, okay, as long as you aren’t putting it in the filling…..some people do! And they are wrong!

yeah right

/ eyebrow twitches

...

I didn’t know “let’s make quiche” was a level of being high and now all I want is some quiche.

yeah right

Welcome to

“The Matrix”

Doktor Zymm

It’s amazing how unintentionally sad McDonalds and Bud Light commercials are

Unsurprised

Unintentionally?

Spur

Doktor Zymm

The really amazing thing is that the replacement refs were worse.

Horatio Cornblower

The bar is so low, and they still tripped over it and fell face first into a pile of pig shit.

Cleveland rocks

King Hippo

THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOUR BRAIN, VANCE??

Senor Weaselo

*Unrolls scroll*

Mr. Ayo

My what now?

–J. Vance

Spur

lack of oxygen.

Mr. Ayo

Stupid refs

Redshirt

Alright, I’m going against a personal vow and am watching “Teen Titans Go! To the Movies”.

Seriously, I would’ve bet me becoming a Hardcore Liberal Steelers Fan before I voluntarily watched this when I first heard of it.

Senor Weaselo

And not just for the after-credits scene?

Redshirt

No. Its for the whole thing. The humor sounds good instead of just dumb. That’s what I want. To be entertained by good writing and not 30 minutes of “look at the joke, laugh”.

Though I am interested in the Teen Titans vs. Teen Titans Go! thing. If anything, I hope the voice talents get paid twice since they’re technically voicing two different characters.

Doktor Zymm

I dunno, looks like foot not over, but maybe ball over

King Hippo

Ball Don’t Lie!

Spur

Flacco or Eli to the Donks would be nuts.

Mr. Ayo

Bortles to Gigantes as well

Horatio Cornblower

That’s a 1st down.

King Hippo

CHALLENGE you dope
