Your “Let’s Get This Party Started!” Sunday NFL Football Open Thread

Let’s get right at it… TO THE GAMES!

Pats/Fins:

Guh. Nice start. The spread in this game is 19, which is about 19 more points than my level of interest. Btw, Brady’s record in Miami is 7-10.

Cards/Ravens:

What’s better than young love? Only a battle between young, dynamic qb’s, that’s what. That reckless hypothesis will be tested today.

Niners/Bengals:

Kittle owners had to be pissed that 2 TD’s were called back on penalty-but fear not, he was targeted more than twice as often as the next wideout. Jimmy G had a trash day a week ago but every opponent should be loving Cincy’s secondary. It’s almost as bad as the Giants.

Bears/Lions:

T.J. Hockenson had the very best day that any rook te ever had in his splashy debut. I’ll bet that the Bears lay some pads on him, unlike the Cards.

Vikes/Pack:

Cousins threw a mere 10 times last week. You knew that they were committed to the run but that’s crazy. Thing is, they got up by 14 very early and could do whatever they liked and what they liked was running down the clock starting in the second quarter. Don’t worry, wr’s Theilen and Diggs are still there and will be used.

Jags/Texans:

The Constant Gardner Minshew gets his very first starty-start quite a bit earlier than even his mom expected. And she expects a lot! You would think that de Watt will spoil his milk but he had exactly one pressure last week and nary a a sackeroo.

Bills/Giants:

What can you say about this game that hasn’t already been said by the spittle running down the chin of a homeless heroin addict? Yeah, I’m gonna watch.

Seahawks/Steelers:

Speaking of talent-less secondaries (see, Giants above) Seattle’s has a distinctive lack of BOOM these days-expect the Steelers passing game and their talented wr’s to have a pleasant bounce back.

Colts/Titans:

With Devin Funchess gone, (he’s always been a ‘meh’ guy to me) Deon Cain looks to step in and make a difference. What happened to Parris Campbell?

Cowboys/Potato Skins:

Dallas backers are all agog regarding Dak’s newfound passing prowess but those TD’s last week were the result of missed tackles and assignments. (Antonio Hamilton is a bum) Dak only threw into the endzone once all game. Maybe OC Kellen Moore is onto something but in my books the ‘Boys qb is a glorified game manager.

Well, there you have it-everything you could possibly need to watch the early afternoon slate aside from pills, booze, dope and munchies. Have at it!

Just changed the bulb in my projector, as the old one finally just quit (after 6000+ hours, so pretty damn good). Now I feel super handy and good with a screwdriver!

theeWeeBabySeamus

A screwdriver sounds like a fine idea.
But I don’t have any vodka and clean out of orange juice.

HELLO BEER!!!!!

King Hippo

Shame I can only watch 8 more minutes of this bananacakes Villadolid/Osasuna match

LemonJello

Your pills are fighting each other???

King Hippo

ish?

LemonJello

Watching NFL Network’s pre-game show; did Irvin share his coke stash with the rest of them?

Unsurprised

It’s been like a week. Why isn’t there a new Nailin’ Palin video out yet?

King Hippo

Our beloved FK Slutsk in a scoreless battle so far. IRONY!!!

LemonJello

Matty Ice or Bakersfield as my QB today?

Matty Ice faces the Iggles, while Baker has Boeing’s rejects…

King Hippo

Ice Ice baby!

Gratliff

Sophie’s choice of Actually Bad QBs right here

Gratliff

“Gardner Minshew stretching in the locker room in nothing but a jock strap”

Choosing to read this as a threat

Unsurprised

A sexy threat

King Hippo

40 MOAR minutes of heroic muzak, then SATIATE MAH BLOOD LUST

theeWeeBabySeamus

This morning, at a local convenience store, I crossed paths with an Orange County (NC) Sheriff’s Deputy. We began talking and kinda hit it off, so to speak. Now before you say anything, this was a FEMALE deputy.

We talked for a bit and I could tell….well, ya know. And I’ll admit she was quite pretty. Her sidearm even had a cute little pink handle on it. I thought that was cute. I considered asking her out.

Then I remembered all the weed plants I’ve got growing here, and I got the hell outta there.

Unsurprised

Now before you say anything, this was a FEMALE deputy

There was never any doubt.

theeWeeBabySeamus

One never knows.

ArmedandHammered

You don’t have to bring her home immediately. You could wait till after the harvest.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yeah, but then I’d be high and paranoid.

Horatio Cornblower

As opposed to when, exactly?

ArmedandHammered

That is what I was thinking. Let get to know the usual you. If she finds any, blame it on your mom (medicinal).

Gratliff

Brian Billick has aged into a movie villain who’s being haunted by all the people he’s killed in the past

Horatio Cornblower

He was Ray Lewis the whole time!

Unsurprised

Well, it’s kickoff time. Or for me, nap time.

King Hippo

Arsenal looking like 3rd position challengers, at least

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I have three different Patriots (Brown, running backs) playing today so I can confidently guarantee a final score in the Patriots-Dolphins game of 13-3.

bk109

Nah, 2-0, we only score a safety to win it.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Oh, thanks for the reminder!

[starts Patriots’ defense]

Unsurprised

They let you pick refs in FFL?

Redshirt

4-2

King Hippo

I put $30 on the Qardinals to win first half (+325), because I have Balmer in both survivor pools

King Hippo

Hey Grat – thinking I have to bench TheSean Jackson, because ATL will weight their coverage towards him (so as to not get embarrassed at home) and also the “Week 1 Waiver Claim” jinx. Whut say yeeeewwww?

Gratliff

Never trust Jackson in back to back weeks. However, the last two games between these two have been defensive dog fights, so I expect them to both go balls out and derp it up in the air.

King Hippo

plus I would have to bench Bleeding Kansas against Los Gigantes’ paper mache secondary (already starting Brokeback QB, too) or Brandin Cooks at home against the Saints.

Gratliff

theeWeeBabySeamus

Always makes me giggle.

herodotus450

The best part about having a shitty fantasy team is that it doesn’t matter who you play or bench, they’re all gonna shit the bed.

yeah right

Hey Scotchy? Sorry but gonna be that guy.
Les Chargers are playing the Lions, Bears be up against Denver.

Hope you had a lofty hike.

Gratliff
Unsurprised

And the cries of antisemitism in 3 … 2 …

ballsofsteelandfury

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that Charissa Thompson is good looking.

King Hippo

git off-a mah limb!!

Horatio Cornblower

Crown Royal Apple: But Why?

yeah right

They don’t have it in “Fireball?”

Unsurprised

“Fuck You” is why

Horatio Cornblower

“Where should Mesut Ozil play?”

Germany.

bk109

Outer Mongolia?

Horatio Cornblower

May as well, for all the attention he seems to pay to the game.

I used to love his game but, lately, goddamn is he frustrating to watch. Not sure if it’s him, the game plan, the organization, or what, but I have to believe everyone would be better off if he got a new start somewhere else.

Horatio Cornblower

How do so many people who throw out the first pitch have absolutely no idea how to throw a ball?

Horatio Cornblower

Time to take the dog for a long walk and come back to a 2-0 Arsenal leHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA….

Oh man. Almost finished that.

bk109

Awwww, I thought we lost only 2-0 … U BASTARDO, the game hasn’t started yet so we can lose by moar…BASTARDOOOOOO 😛

King Hippo

I know I will bench the absolute best of my 4 good WRs. Hopkins, Bleeding Kansas, Too Many Cooks, TheSean Jackson

Horatio Cornblower

I benched Thielen for Gallup and am already regretting it

King Hippo

You almost HAVE TO play Gallup. He’s really good. I only have him in DFO-ball, am very mad at myself

Horatio Cornblower

Also have Ridley and Edelman.

And Mixon. Who I have benched for Bernard, so you can book Mixon for 120 yards, TD, and probably assault and battery after the game.

King Hippo

I am starting ex-SD’s Jackson because of the Mixon/Gio morass

yeah right

Diggs always has career days against the “team that will not be mentioned” so that may be a good idea.

Gratliff

Going against my conscience and putting AB in since I’m facing Saquon against the fucking Bills.

Horatio Cornblower

If you’re playing FF you have to give your conscience the day off.

bk109

Btw, guys, you should really be rooting for the Pats this season. After all, if we go 19-0 it’s odds on Belichik and Brady would retire and their long reign of terror over your teams would end… Well, excluding how the team is built to last, McDaniels would stay and Stidham seems like a serviceable heir apparent to Brady until we work out the kinks of the Brady Gen3 clones

Horatio Cornblower

Counterpoint: No

That is the insurance dog from the UK

bk109

That insurance dog pissed on Hitler and won the war! (according to the official history textbook issued by the Texas Department Of Education)

Redshirt

You fool! If I’m immune to the MAGA kool aid, what makes you think the Patriots kool aid would have any effect?

bk109

Ours has nanobubbles… or was that Russell Wilson’s ?

bk109

But the dark side is so much better… we actually win stuff !

King Hippo

this is why I allow myself #BFIB. Donks, Everton, and NC State clearly balance my Sports Karma

litre_cola

See Fulham futbol.

King Hippo

HOLY CATS ADDED TIME GOAL FOAR SPAL WOO!!!!!!

King Hippo

almost 5-to-1 home dogs against not-Juve, HAD TO BET IT

litre_cola

My talisman side!

King Hippo

Time to track my Dunav Ruse bet. I like them because I imagined a team chant based on that once-ubiquitous “Bulletproof” song

bk109

… mate, I am from Ruse (pronounced Sh-eee-itt Hhh-ooool) and you really need an intervention if you’re betting on those incompetent shits 😀

King Hippo

THE ODDS ARE RITE!!

/also, I had often wondered whether the town was “Dunav” or “Ruse” so thanks for clearing that up

King Hippo

also, Litre will mail you a Chinese slave chill’uns-made Dunav Ruse shirt, should you win one of our tipping pools.

bk109

Dunav is the bulgarian spelling of Danube, Ruse is well, truthfully pronounced as Ruh-sey (or thereabouts, I really suck at writing phonetic spelling). Still a shithole and still a crappy team. Slavia’s usually the better team too (and way more capable of paying off the refs)

Gratliff

Remembering the time WWE took a Bulgarian and turned him into a Russian because they had just annexed Crimea. He did get to ride into a stadium on a tank though, so I guess it was worth it.
comment image

bk109

WWE? Sorry, I’m older than 12, so I don’t watch WWE

Gratliff

Ah, a man of more sophisticated tastes. Let’s get something a little more your speed, then.

Unsurprised

I hope that’s a dummy.

Gratliff

Kenny Omega? Depends on who you ask.

bk109

Actually I get my entertainment the way any redblooded IT guy does… By gawking at tech specs in industry periodicals and websites 😀 … Also wifey, because I’m (as far as I’ve been told) very happily married 😀

Spur

I hate all this Cowboy talk. They’re playing Washington who ALWAYS give them trouble.

Gratliff

Very interested to see if Slurs come back with fire after last week’s collapse or if they’ve already packed their bags for the offseason

Unsurprised

King Hippo

HE KICKED IWOBI IN THE STOMACH, HOW IS THAT NOT A PENNO??

Horatio Cornblower

Iwobi isn’t named ‘Harry Kane’?

bk109

and of course ” ’cause he black” ?

King Hippo

the preferred nomenclature is Harry Fuckface Kane

/still would have lost 3-2, I just would have gotten my hopes up

Gratliff

So is Brown actually playing today or is this just New England being shitty and manipulative?

King Hippo

YES

Horatio Cornblower

He’ll play. Belichek is a troll genius.

King Hippo

I’d expect the opening drive to be 6 passes to AB, including the TD.

Gratliff

Bill’s gonna have a special #metoo sleeveless hoodie just for the occasion

Spur

He’s playing . Will he have a loaded pistol in his waistband, maybe.

Horatio Cornblower

Well, I’m told his people do run the world, so…

Spur

chorizo mixed with egg is the greatest feat in mankind.

Mourning?! Aren’t you rushing things a bit, Hippo hasn’t even finished the whole pill bottle yet 😀

Also good afternoon

King Hippo

THERE IS A LIGHT AND IT NEVAR GOES OUT

bk109

Everton: Hold our beers!

King Hippo

ok, KMFDM are back in front at least. If SPAL would do the same, I might get off the ledge. Until Donks WOO play, anyway.

Gratliff

Fuck me. Is that Mike Ditka trying to do Chris Farley’s superfans character? I’m fucking mad online.

King Hippo

ONE OF US! ONE OF US!!!!

King Hippo

FUCK EVERYTHING YOU MOTHERFUCKING SHITASSES

bk109

Cheer up, Arsenal will arse things up again tonight… And the Patriots? We’re playing in Miami, so we can lose on a fluke play (or well.. win by a 100)

King Hippo

AND I HAVE TO START JUSTIN JACKSON IN FANTASY BECAUSE OF MIXON TRYING TO PLAY THROUGH HIS ANKLE OWIE

Horatio Cornblower

I’m already dreading seeing how Arsenal are going to fuck this up.

Redshirt

For the last time, your mother came on to ME!!

Horatio Cornblower

Well that’s good for Yeah Right I guess.

/pill bottle flies open

Redshirt

In honor of the former Bengals player killed last week, they should change to the Bengals jerseys they wore when he played for them. And in honor of taste, they should keep wearing them and not change back.

bk109

Eh, I suggest in his honor (checks career stats… Uh… right… still….) to fire Marvin Lewis from a howitzer 😀

Redshirt

Nah. Marvin did enough to live. Just tie him to a barge and send him down to the Mississippi.

bk109

Eh, Ask Bungles fans – they’d say that he did enough to fly … straight into a woodchipper 😀

King Hippo

the magical pony IS our resident sensible Republican and Bungles fan

Redshirt

You just tolerate me so you can classify DFO as bipartisan and all-inclusive.

It’s too soon. They don’t remember LeBeau, Coslet or Shula years.

Need sommet from talismanic skank Leann Reims, too

Anyone else develop a burning hatred for Mr. Supremium, or is that just me?

King Hippo

but his ascot HAS AN ASCOT!!

herodotus450

It’s good to see Big Boi from Outkast still getting work though.

bk109

Fun observation – how dense do you have to be, to be hoping to take good snaps on iPhones and S10’s at range, so that you get actively pissed off every time it doesn’t happen, lol. I’m shooting light, lol and it’s on the fence (EOS200D with a couple of telephoto lenses) and yet people keep trying to snap away with their smartphones 😀

Horatio Cornblower

I have a decent camera, with a telephoto lens, and do I ever remember to bring it? No, I do not.

So when I’m next to you, swearing away while trying to take photos with my 8-year old phone, I’m really cursing at myself.

bk109

And for most “spur of the moment” photo opportunities, it’s understandable not to be bringing a camera… Except that this one’s announced way in advance and people here ought to know any better*

*I’m totally ignoring that even at such events, the vast majority of visitors are normal and sane people, not nutters like me that basically pitch a tent when they hear the R2800 on a P-47D roar to life 😀

Edit: Speaking of which, I got a fun series of photos of the kiddos struggling against the prop-wash of a Sea Fury doing engine run-up “a safe distance” away 😀 THEY LOVED IT XD

Gratliff

The worst part of football season is seeing commercials again for the first time since spring. Using STP to sell Dodge trucks? smgdh

Horatio Cornblower

Hippo Header!

King Hippo

DCL really needed to break his duck, too.

nomonkeyfun

Is “dynamic” the new euphemism to replace “athletic”?

bk109

Or for “running around like a headless chicken… with about as much tactical positioning as one too”

Horatio Cornblower

That’s not how you spell ‘raycesst’

bk109

Whoa, whoa, whoa… You can’t call Josh Allen dynamic, he white, yo! He’s got “high motor” 😀

litre_cola

First guy in, last guy out. Has intangibles that you can’t argue with.

bk109

“He white and he’s not sidelined with Mono”?

GOAL – Bournemouth 1-0 Everton
Soooo, Ehhh… not a good start

Good start for yearRight, not good for teh Hippo.

King Hippo

at least KMFDM have their peckers in front, I bet the shit out of them

King Hippo

godfuckingdamnit

HELLO TILT!!

litre_cola

Ok, I will bite, is KMFDM actually KFUM Oslo?

King Hippo

si, es verdad. I started betting them because it made me think of KMFDM. They are usually pretty reliable.

bring some of that heroine ya muling over this way!

bk109

No heroine, lol, just a meetup of old planes near Stuttgart, lol. Kiddos are definitely loving it so far and the guys at the flight line are a delight (as in let my kiddos in behind the stick of a Hurricane, Mustang, Spitfire….. type of delightful)
Also here’s another pic for all ya fine folks here: comment image

Horatio Cornblower

“This image failed to load”, repeatedly, so you truly are Boris Johnson, in that you’ve made multiple promises and failed to deliver on any of them.

Although I suspect you have better hair.

bk109

Perhaps your computer is refusing to open links to imgur or something, because it opens them here, lol. Also my hair is actually markedly worse than BoJo’s, for I have “fresh boot” hair atm XD

Edit: Goddamn, It opens on two computers, doesn’t on 2 phones, so … anyone know of a good image upload site?
Edit2: Does it open now?comment imagecomment image

Horatio Cornblower

There it is.

litre_cola

I had to refresh but it indeed opened. ARE ZE GERMANS COMING???

King Hippo

be nice, it seems he was in the Luftwaffe!!

bk109

Unfortunately, nope… I’m slowly building a Yak-9 in Sweden as a hobby (and also because it’d appear that wifey would never let me buy myself a Mach2-capable Ex-Soviet Interceptor)

King Hippo

Hey yeah right – you ready to get yer Cherry arses…inevitably drawn? 😀

yeah right

Ready, Mr. Hippo!
