Your “You Know, For Your First Time, That Wasn’t Half Bad” Monday Night Football Open Thread

As The Hippo-ster mentioned earlier, that was a mighty fine Sunday of the footballing…

Fallout-

-The phenomenal play of the Panthers Kyle Allen has provided some haters of people that have unique fashion sense a bit of cover. They’ve got at least another week to explain why a guy that wears a different hat each week to a press conference should be jettisoned.

-Daniel Jones totaled 37.2 fantasy points yesterday-that’s the second-highest total ever for a dude making his first career start. He’s only behind Eric Hipple’s 42.7. Pump those brakes, scotchy, pump those brakes Still, he was pressured on 48% of all his throws and completed 80% of them.

-Yeah, Saquon is gone for 4-8 weeks with a high ankle sprain. I’m sure he’ll be back sooner rather than later because he’s almost not human. For now Giants fans are jumping on the Wayne Gallman Express.

-The most dynamic qb out there isn’t Kyler or Lamar!, it’s none other than Josh Allen. He’s a gotdamn whirlwind out there and his dizzying array of talent and wonky decision-making is a joy to watch. I didn’t have a clue that Bills Stadium could be that loud. The Pats D should bring him back down to earth next week but it sure looks like there’s some ‘there’ there.

-The Eagles blew a winnable game vs. the Lions while being understaffed at wr. Now they have to travel to Green Bay for the Thursday Nighter-1-3 is a distinct possibility.

-Jalen Ramsey called in sick today. Asked for comment coach Rivera said, “he’s already been disciplined for pulling Suzie’s pigtails at recess last Friday. I don’t know what to do!”

TO THE GAME!

Bears/Potato Skins:

Is it just me that thinks these stodgy old franchises should be in the same division? Anywhozizt… the Bears 0 has scored all of 26 points so far this year and the reason why wears #10. According to PFF his poor play is right down there with likes of Harvard Fitzpatrick and Case Keenum. Chicago should take this because of their excellent D and the fact that Washington’s D-line can’t exert any pressure at all. Any time an opposing qb drops back to pass the average completion is slightly more than 8 yards. Oof.

Open the floodgates!

Mirror, because you got tossed out of your health club for being a narcissistic douchebag. I swear to Christ, if I ever saw that in a person’s home, I would throw a bottle of cheap bourbon at it. Then I’d ram the owner’s head through the hole I just made. What in the fucking shit is goign on around here?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

That’s good stat padding right there

Duchess

Im such a jaded Beats fan that touchdown did nothing for me.

SonOfSpam

Buy some cheaper headphones and you’ll appreciate it more.

Gatoraids

I’m a jaded dolphins fan working on creating a deep fakes to replace evEry scoring play with a dolphins uniform but it keeps rejecting it like the end of War games

SonOfSpam

Use your deep fake skills to make a leather porn starring Csonka and Marino.

Sharkbait

Spur

A pass so easy Mitch could make it.

jjfozz

Disgruntled employee, who will never get fired gay, female, overweight, minority- we’re a super PC company, which I fucking can’t stand, puts up blistering review of our company on a website. nothing will get done. and that’s bullshit. i hate this fucking passive aggressive generation who can’t fucking man the fuck up and actually voice their complaints in person to their managers. she called out specific people, which is also unforgivable. you take care of your problems with your family, not outside on social media.

SonOfSpam

“But I call her a fatass dyke cunt and I’M the bad guy!”

jjfozz

She’s the type of person who is always depressed, always sensitive, angry because she’s fat and will use that as a crutch her entire life. It’s actually a shame, but it’s also a cop out and I don’t respect shit like that at all. Self pity is ugly.

SonOfSpam

Also ugly? Fat chicks.

jjfozz

Who can tell what her face looks like? swallowed by rolls

Unsurprised

This is why I have nothing but utter hatred for my fellow fat fucks. Familiarity breeds contempt.

ballsofsteelandfury

RTD,

KROQ or 98.7?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Ha ha, 98.7. Does KROQ do it too?

ballsofsteelandfury

I had a rental recently because the car was in the shop and yes. Every fucking hour.

I listen to First Wave on satellite.

King Hippo

Hippo Channel Rank:

1) First Wave
2) XMU
3) Alt Nation
4) Lithium
5) Something Sportsball (Live ONLY)

Viva La Tabula Raza

In order on my presets:

1–Tom Petty
2–First Wave
3–Classic Rewind
4–Classic Vinyl
5–Deep Tracks
6–Lithium
7–80s on 8
8–60s on 6
9–90s on 9

And then scroll back up.

Spur

XMU
Alt Nation
Indie 1.0
The Spectrum
80’s on 8
Lithium
Howard 100/101

SonOfSpam

Still KROQ out of stubbornness. Plus, the 98.7 on-air talent is painful (moreso).

ballsofsteelandfury

Terrestrial radio was painful to listen to recently. Like those below, I’ve gone satellite and have never looked back.

King Hippo

when I get stuck in a rental, I listen to WKNC (NC State’s college station) and bring along my CD collection

Duchess

The Bears should call.Larry more often

jjfozz

You know, Tribiski has a bit of Manning Face.

Sharkbait

We need to replace the Manning face after all…

Sharkbait

Still 7-0? This game blows

Duchess

Something something hot wind blowing at the Capitol something something Trump.

SonOfSpam

“House Dems leaders have called a caucus meeting tomorrow at 4 pm to discuss you know what: questions of impeachment.”

I mean, better late than never I guess.

ballsofsteelandfury

4:01 – Ok, we’ve discussed it. We done? Ok.

King Hippo

Timing exactly right. It pushed Josh Marshall over the tipping point, and I am there with him.

Also MUCH simpler and easier for the public to understand.

ballsofsteelandfury

Over Ukraine?

Sorry, but the public doesn’t give a shit about that.

King Hippo

Over his entire upper echelon explicitly try to undermine 2020 election, and basically bragging about it.

ballsofsteelandfury

Yeah, no one cares.

King Hippo

Enough will care, and those who don’t are no longer going to view him as a martyr

SonOfSpam

It’s kind of a camel-breaking straw, like the last thousand things.

ballsofsteelandfury

You would think…

herodotus450

Somewhere Dennis Kucinich sheds a single tear.

Gatoraids

If the Democrats let anything else go past them they’d end up at on the Slurs o line

ballsofsteelandfury

This comment deserves all of RTD’s +1s

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Is it abuse of power if a President witholds Congressionally mandated funding in an effort to coerce a foreign nation into interfereing in an American election on his behalf?

I mean, I’d say yes, but I’m worried that Dems won’t for fear of riling up the Trump cult who are already openly calling for their imprisonment and/or assassination.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Damnit, I demand more +1’s for my monorail joke down below.

SonOfSpam

Here’s a +1 but I ain’t walkin all the way down there to place it.

herodotus450

I’d love to but it’s just so far out of the way and there isn’t a convenient, cheap, efficient, clean method of transport to get me down there to vote for it.

THINGS I LEARNED TODAY:

Frank Gore has a son named Messiah Gore, whom I presume was named after Frank’s favorite type of Mel Gibson movie.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’m going to pretend to myself that it’s pronounced “Me-siyyah” like the way Jar Jar would say it.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Or in that Key and Peele skit with the inner city substitute teacher at the whitebread high school.
“Ay-Ay-Ron? Den-Nissay?”

herodotus450

I would’ve gone with Vidal. Or You-Kill-The-Joe-You-Make-Some.

Messiah Gore sounds like a good Warhammer name

This ref I call him the NRA because he seems allergic to safeties.

New Grimes heard today on XMU. Goddamn, she good:

That’s a safety. BS

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I feel like Taco Bell and I are engaged in some kind of standoff*. Every week they offer me a free Locos Doritos Taco and every week I claim it, and we’re going to keep going on like this until one of us backs down. I was convinced it would be Taco Bell who cracked first but now I’m not so sure.

*definitely not a “Mexican” standoff since Taco Bell is involved.

Sharkbait

So Slurs are bad

herodotus450

“[*Redacted] s punting? No way. ”
“Tress Way. “

Spur

So nice of the Bears to take turns sacking the QB.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Does anyone else here still listen to terrestrial radio? I have my car tuned to the “alternative” station because I am “with it” and they play a Billy Eilish literally every goddamned half hour. I don’t think I’ve taken a single trip in the last three weeks where we haven’t heard at least one of her songs.

Col. Duke LaCross

Jumped on satellite and never looked back.

herodotus450

Is Billy Ellish the yelly guy from Parks and Rec or is it that musical about ballet?

litre_cola

I use spotify everywhere I go. No irritating car commercials.

King Hippo

she’s on emo satellite, too

Spur

I commute so satellite since 09. I rarely hear her. Its not my taste but am not a 12 year old girl.

Duchess

What dont want to hear a 16yr old talking about seducing dads?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Is that what that song is about? I mean I don’t particularly dislike her music (it’s irritating but I’ve heard far worse) but goddamn do they play her stuff relentlessly.

Duchess

Shes the bad guy, duh@

Fronkenshteen

Ha-Ha made everyone sad.

Spur
King Hippo

y’all, I hate to be controversial, but the Redacteds just might not be very good.

Gatoraids

All roads to 0-16 go through Miami this year

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

As opposed to 2-14, for which you’ll need to take a Mono-rail through New Jersey.

Col. Duke LaCross

Bold statement.

Fronkenshteen

Fuck “manscaping”. Love me, love my unkempt bush.

Spur

a true mangrove

Spur

We sure Trubisky didn’t use a wish granting Monkeys Paw to get drafted?

King Hippo

As a U*NC alum and functional illiterate, he would not be aware of this cautionary tale.

Fronkenshteen

Need Trevathan to rack up tackles and a big Chi win. My redacted hate is laser-focused.

Spur

It’s raining in Vegas. call the action 13 news team.
We need a storm drain report before those ugly heifers at channel 3

Today, I was humming The National’s “Day I Die” to myself. Then I got in the car…and it was the SECOND SONG PLAYING!! The third was this, it gave me a pickup, and I share with y’all:

found a funny:

Viva La Tabula Raza

Dropped 600 bucks at the dentist today for a filling repair, x-rays, cleaning, etc. And was informed that to get everything righteous in this pie-hole is gonna cost another $4500. Going to have to forego that for a few months since I need surgery to repair a torn tendon in my foot, want to get that done before the end of the year because I have already maxed out my deductible so shouldn’t be much out of pocket at all. BC/BS medical coverage is pretty good, but the dental plan blows dead dogs.
So, dentist today, podiatrist visit to arrange surgery next week, colonoscopy on the 10th. Although it beats the alternative, getting old certainly can be full of suckitude.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Better than having the dentist or podiatrist do the colonoscopy

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Because you mentioned “podiatrist”.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-MJy7w69EU

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I tell that joke once a quarter. Lady BFC hates it.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I’m just impressed that you can remember all that.

SonOfSpam

Do you also tell it at halftime?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Ugh, flying during MNF and it’s a bears game and I’m not on Southwest. Boooooooooo.

Viva La Tabula Raza

So, not even any free drink coupon action. Ugh and boo indeed.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Eh, I have some united free drink coupons….in my other bag at home. Fuck.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I always forget to grab mine off the refrigerator door and realize it when I get to the luggage dropoff.

Sharkbait

Wife and brother in law are disappointed at the Saquon news. They were excited to see him when we go to the Patriots Giants game.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Have they considered not being Patriots fans?

Sharkbait

Oh they’re Giants fans

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

Have they considered suicide?
