Your Xmas Eve/Monday Night Football Combo Thread

Whine/Rant Alert:

Okay, there’s a bunch of sports-hungry folks that have the day off today. Imagine them (me) sitting down in front of the tube, ready to drink in the puck/football/curling stone/basketball/shuttlecock/sheep’s head/Quaffle and Thunderball action with their oh-so thirsty eyes and there’s…nothing. Hey NBA, college football, college basketball, NHL, EPL, Badminton Super League, Quidditch Juniors Alliance, Central Asia Buzkashi Association and Amalgamated Consortium of Corporate Interests-every one of your sports leagues dropped the damn ball today. There’s no excuse for this. I was raised to be a consumer from Day 1 and I’d like to consume and you’ve all let me down. For Shame!*

*does the word ‘shame’ have any relevance anymore, though?

There’s one other thing that no one has made any mention as far as I know and it’s that ESPN is reporting that Christian McCaffrey has engaged in domestic violence-check it out-

Panthers’ McCaffrey sets NFL mark, beats dad.

It’s right there in the headlines. First things first, I admire this particular christian for thinking outside the box. Most believers would take it right to their spouse/girlfriend but this fella was not looking for an easy way to prove his masculinity. Dude’s hardcore. Best wishes for a speedy recovery to ‘Pops’, btw.

TO THE GAME!

Bronchitis/Poison Oak:

Much as Herr Gruden would deny it, his leadership at this point in the season is modeled after the example of Erwin Rommel and his exceptional tanking strategy. I’m thinking Denver in a walk.

If you’ve got a rant or a whine I’m all ears.

I found where the Christmas movie line is drawn.

The NHL is the worst. If Christmas Eve isn’t on Sunday, they could easily have a 12pm Est faceoff for two East coast teams. Then have a second game at 3pm Eastern with two more teams and finish off in the West for a 6pm EST finale. Early games and even the visiting team, who would reside in the same conference, could make it home early.

See, but that would make sense.

FIVE minutes to Shitsmas 2018!!

theeWeeBabySeamus

Wow, Hippo kicked Senor’s ass.

tWBS placed 7th. Wooooo….suck it, Zymm.

(figuratively, of course)

King Hippo

1st in DFO, a (quite distant) 2nd in money league. I’ll take it.

Brocky

Grumble grumble I’m not at all bitter. From 1st to near worst

Mr. Ayo

Way to finish on top!

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hey, winning the consolation bracket this year after a 10 week losing streak (during which the only ass I was able to kick belonged to BFC…and I kicked that ass repeatedly btw) is pretty fucking impressive!!!!!!

litre_cola

I finished 5th and beat Don T,

/did not bet bottle of whisky this time.
/am sad

Senor Weaselo

All my RBs died. No Gurley, no Miller, Brieda (replacing Gurley) got hurt, Coleman got hurt. Okay, Blue just sucked I think.

King Hippo

My money league roster was locked for the playoffs. I also had Gurley and Breida, plus Gurley backup Malcolm Brown (IR), #2 WR Emmanuel Sanders (IR), #1 TE Greg Olsen (IR), and insurance depth pickup Quincy Enunwa (inactive for injury both games).

King Hippo

just to show what injuries did to Senor, at the start of the week, he was a 69/31 favourite (was 50/50 at kickoff)

Fuck. I just remembered how much that movie The Hunted with Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio del Toro is just a remake of First Blood.

King Hippo

Black Hole booing the kneel downs. They don’t get that it’s even MORE humiliating for Denver.

Oh, good. Elway’s on the field. Please say we’re getting an On Field Firing.

Mr. Ayo

I thought it was going to happen at half time.

yeah right

Let’s bury Vance Joseph for Christmas.

King Hippo

Forget about getting the sack, Vance will be lucky to avoid an Elway skullfucking at this rate.

King Hippo

Just punt, you fuckwit

Mr. Ayo

Arm punt good enough?
