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.
Merry Christmas ya filthy animals. I am no longer playing Midnight Mass so I can just chill for now.
I hope they didn’t kick you out or anything.
Miscommunication with the contracting. Happens.
You need us to go fuck some fuckers up?
oh, just precious
You were correct. These guys HATE Vance.
One of my new favorite Christmas past times is trashing the notion that die hard “is a Christmas movie”
You dumbfucks are being contrarian and you know it
And fyi this isn’t directed at anyone in particular, just hilarious how riled up people get, tend to be hipster types, call me when you start watching iron man 3 and batman returns every December
Why do you hate Christmas?
he’s the hidden Imam?
I see Elway has moved from the box down on to the field, so Vance Joseph is less likely to avoid this:
What happened to the die hard blog?
WCS got high and sort of wandered off…
Maybe somebody schießen’d his fenster.
Once again, the End Zone is hallowed territory. Unless you (a) score a touchdown, (b) score a safety, or (c) make a successful 4th down Goal Line Stand, you shouldn’t celebrate in the endzone!
AGREED
The players are getting a little bit carried away with these celebrations. It was cute for a while, but has become tiresome.
Paul Brown had it right when it comes to celebrating: Act like you’ve been there before and you’re planning on doing it again soon.
Lady BFC’s family is officially out of whiskey
Step 2: Acquire a mistress
Disowning on the table?
Predict WC matchup slots!
Sat afternoon: Tits at 500s
Sat night: SeaTruthers at Non-Gendered Cowpersons
Sun early afternoon: Vikes at Bearistocrats!
Sun early afternoon: Clippers du Merde at Ratbirds
As old as I am and as long as I have been watching football, seeding messes me up. A 12-4 wild card team will visit a 10-6 team because Division Winner, is that correct?
That’s right! I guess less egregious because BAL just beat them in SD, but still…
CARSON!
Did someone tell john Gruden that if the raiders win this game, all criticism of the mack trade goes away?
Tomorrow’s Lesser Footy #HAILGAMBLOR! offerings are limited to Israel, the Muslim world, and a Vietman/North Korea friendly
Perhaps one of those matchups will lead to a small but interesting war.
Edit: so only Hebrews, Muslims, godless Communists, and the NBA are willing to play on Jesus’ Birfday.
Gruden has no idea how challenges work.
Lovie Smith challenges it.
YOU CAN’T CHALLENGE A SCORING PLAY, FUCKWAD
/should still count as his 2nd and final challenge for wasting everyone’s Holiday time
At least it cost him a timeout.
and I guess a mild public shaming
NINE MORE YEARS!
He’s already coach of the Raiders. Isn’t that punishment enough.
Mildly in his defense, that wasn’t a rule when he started coaching.
And remember, a shitty call pretty much ruined his first tenure in Oakland
Guilt trip Catholicism (an oxymoronic statement) means that I have to be the lone member of my family, that after 30 some years is still the only one up to hear an old man mumble in Latin. You assholes get pissed that I don’t want the Catholic wedding but don’t stay up for Pope Diddler IV’s mumbles.
There’s a lot goin’ on here
Between Sabado with Clippers du Merde and tonight…that’s some shitty groundskeeping
I just saw the 99 yard Punt Return TD. Its awesome, but I thought once the punting team touches the ball, its dead. Do they need to get full possession of it or something?
until the ball is officially possessed or clown dead (but after kicking team touches), returning team can pick it up and advance the ball without risk (i.e., even if they fumble it goes back to where the kicking team touched it).
Huh. So its a legit awesome play. Good!
Christmas specials watched: 0
Glasses of bourbon consumed: Unhealthy
Same, just swap “pills” fer “glasses of bourbon”
Wow. I knew the Broncos were Painfully Average, but not this bad.
this is even worse than the Jest loss now
How did we let this happen? How did we as a Society allow this to happen?

this is the best Xmas thing EVAR
oh, we can HAZ GAME!!??
There ya go
Our Equine Lord and Saviour DOES look like he wants to strangle a hooker!
But he took off his gloves!!!
HERE WE GO, about time got some MUTUALITY in the DERP
TWO whole series without a score allowed!!
Well, it is the Raiders.
My favorite thing about Rocky I and Rocky II.
Rocky I (immediately after the fight ends)
Apollo: “Ain’t gonna be no rematch. Ain’t gonna be no rematch.”
Rocky: “Don’t want one.”
Rocky II (after arriving at the hospital – probably 30 minutes later with Apollo internally bleeding and Rocky’s face swelled shut)
Apollo: “I want a rematch!”
What the hell did the EMTs say to Apollo in the ambulance in the ride to the hospital?!
Adrian told Rocky he was pussy bitch.
“Get your money’s worth – some Russian’s gonna kill you in like two more movies.”
local car dealer had some lame-ass “pastor” giving a message that ad break. Fortunately I had volume muted.
Juh-HEE-zus wants you to get this 2004 Saturn with low low financing
Jesus what a bargain!
“Buy a car from us this week and get a free plastic Jesus for your dashboard!”
Primer gray 55 Chevy 2-door post, dual quad tunnel ram 454 with M-22 rock crusher 4 speed that James Taylor drove in Two Lane Blacktop against Warren Oates in his GTO. $145,000 (this auction was 4 years ago).
That was the car that was lost for years and then found in a barn in Canada
so much RAW SEXY
That look on Gruden’s face of “Holy hell, what did I just do?” is just perfect.
He’s smirking in the original
Case Keenum is a real piece of shit. I hope his wife and kids box up some cat turds for him to open tomorrow.
I am gonna lose $48 on Donks WOO!! – but make $155 on Arnett Gardens FC.
/in other words…EAT SHIT, RAIDERS!
Either Jack Daniels got stronger or my eyes aren’t lying and the Raiders really are winning.
21-17 final would be delicious
Wow. Denver sucks.
They’re… they’re not…. they’re not good.
Like I’ve said all season…6-8 win team gon’ win 6-8 games.
/looking MOAR like 6
Also, you know how a team plays to save its coach’s job? This is the antithesis. They don’t respect Vance one iota.
You’re welcome

I did not need to see that right now.
Later, yes.
But if you’re watching that, how can you watch the Very Special Gwen Stefani Christmas Performance???

I really could give two shits what LeBron has to say. About ANYTHING.
Nawt Raycess!!!!!
ah voted for OBAMA FOUR TIMES!! 😀
/more a criticism of ESPN than anything, they would show LBJ’s stools if he’d let them
LeBron: “I would like to give King Hippo one million dolla-”
King Hippo: “OMG SHUT UP YOU STUPID ATHALEET.”
It’s highly unlikely that it will happen, but man, it would be hysterical if KC and LA Chargers both choked next week, then Pats beat Jets and take over number one seed. Eat your liver, haters!
Arrest this man
Me while spending two hours at the Casino table:
Three people won $300, and I saw three people win $300 whilst slowly giving my money to the casino in increments of $15-$20 at a time.
“Whilst” is a very regal yet underused word these days.
Good on you.
I wax philosophical when I lose money.
agreed, make it seem like it serves a higher purpose
I feel like casinos in Cincinnati would have games like “Pick a Number”
Redshirt: Four!
Dealer: Seven. Lose again.
Almost. The game I played was High Card Flush. Literally the point is to get a higher card flush than the dealer. It so simple, its two steps above Pick a Number.
Its a game where I can make $100 last for over an hour, because even min beating $5 could net wins $10 with a four card flush, $35 with a three card straight flush or pushes with a three card flush assuming the dealer qualifies.
The $300 wins are some people catching a four card straight flush. I was flirting with a five card with a 8♠ , 9♠ , J♠ , Q♠ , but the 10♠ was MIA.
Soulless cash grab aside: vegas vacation was far better than it had any right to be
Vegas Vacation was better than European Vacation (nudity notwithstanding), and I’ll fight anyone who disagrees.
Two absolutely great movies that were cash grabs where they gave the filmmakers total control because they didn’t care what the movie was about as long as it moved product: A Hard Day’s Night starring The Beatles and Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory starring Gene Wilder.
Stupid question:
Does this game have any playoff implications? Like strength of schedule since the AFC west played the AFC north this year?
Maybe, if Baltimore ties and Pittsburgh wins, giving them both records of 9-6-1.
Baltimore beat both Oakland and Denver.
Pittsburgh lost to both Oakland and Denver.
But Steelers have a better division record, so it wouldn’t come into play.
so as much as I would LOVE #ThePauls to go 7-7-2…cost is too high.
Can’t we have both? I would giddily take a tie next week against Pittsburgh.
ok, that’s pretty good
Good point; didn’t do the homework. I’ve been avoiding the AFC North standings for the past five weeks for obvious reason.
Even though it’s a rerun, some mighty fine automobiles on the block over on Motor Trend TV.
I’d typically make a joke in bad taste about this, but for some reason I don’t want to:
That black and white image of matt millen legtimatley made me think he had died, and I really wish they had presented that differently.
And I say that with no allegiance to any of the franchises he’s been associated with
I guess I’m fine with his not-dying, so long as he stays out of the broadcast booth
Also, out of the management of any NFL franchise that I root for.
Also not flying any aircraft or operating heavy machinery near me
Call me crazy he’s not that bad an announcer. Are there better ones? Yes, but it could always be worse
I wonder if Al Davis and his son Mark had a relationship much like that of Buford T. Justice and his son Junior.
At least my random Jamaican Lesser Footy bets are coming good.
Correct use of the “repent” option should fix that.
/Or sum SAINT(s).
//NEEEEERD
My weather app tells me its 56 degrees in Oakland. Why the hell is Elway wearing gloves? What a pussy.
Not much blood flow to hooves ,, ppl forget that
It’s Christmas Eve; he probably plans to strangle a hooker later.
