Your “Who Could be Calling at This Hour, Honey?” Monday Night Football Open Thread

Let’s get right to it, shall we?

Fallout:

-The Potato Skins-classy as ever-living fuck. Poor old Jay certainly had it coming but GM Bruce Allen just couldn’t wait to move on. And move on he did, shortly after 5am this morning. Does Washington specifically hire dickbags or does the work environment bring it out in individuals?

-DeShaun Watson became the very first qb to throw for over 400 yardos and 5 TD’s (with no interceptions) while having 5 or less incompletions. That’s a quality performance!

-Speaking of quality, Christian McCaffrey went bananas again yesterday. As an owner of him in a money league I’m a happy camper but he’s on pace to rack 392 touches. That’s insane. That’s 392 bone-jarring hits in a little over four months.

-Devlin Hodges will get his first start next week as Mason Rudolph does a little dusting. (the cobwebs out his brain) Yeah that was scary as hell but keep your eyes on the ball here and stream the Chargers D next week.

-Okay, the Chiefs were behind most of the game and rb’s only had 11 carries total but LeSean didn’t get a single one (Damien Williams had 9) and only had two catches, one of which he converted into a fumble. I’m giving this odd distribution the stinkeye.

TO THE GAME!

Browns/Niners:

Had I even looked at this game a few weeks ago it wouldn’t have caused me to lift an eyebrow but San Franny being 3-0 makes me curious. And how are they doing it? The numbers say they’ve got a top 5 D and a top 5 O-that O is on point so far even though Jimmy G’s stats aren’t setting the world on fire.

I look forward to Jeff Wilson Jr. vulturing a Matt Breida score. The former has 18 carries total, 13 of which are in the red zone. I guess Kyle [rising, questioning voice] knows what he’s doing? Baker finally had a game for himself last week in the win vs. the Ravens-can he keep the pigskin rolling?

I’ve had my words, now it’s your turn.

Domestic or international?

Week-long cruise for our 25th

Sharkbait

Nice. I liked St. Martin, but preferred the French Side to the Dutch side, which is where all the cruise ships dock.

Ohhh totally misread the book part. Thought you were looking for places TO book, not books to read. Ignore me.

herodotus450

Not the only thing I prefer French instead of Dutch, if you know what I mean.

Good evening folks. I hope you are enjoying this classic battle of All-American Football Conference rivals

jjfozz

“Here come the Browns.” Sounds like me after taco night at Jose’s Taco Hut

Col. Duke LaCross

Good hustle on the stadium PA guy playing Ghost after that play.

jjfozz

Maybe the NFL should use their analytics smarts to figure out how to make sure their stadium carts fucking work when they should

Unsurprised

Since when does the NFL give a shit about the players?

jjfozz

Bad enough the cart didn’t work. No stretcher? No spine board? Nah. “Hey, you two meatheads, carry this dude off the field. His brain is rocking around his head like a marble. Should be ok.”

jjfozz

Niners could have slammed the door, but instead they slammed it on their dicks.

jjfozz

Bosa is pure grit. He wears a hard hat. He punches in an goes to work. Carries a lunch pail.

litre_cola

and is a touch racist, is he from the Baltimore docks?

jjfozz

No, but he could be! He speaks his mind! He has plenty of black friends! Never met a nicer guy!

King Hippo

I just realized that this Superb Owl matchup I been vaguely forecasting would also be a Mr. and Mrs. Nel Derby.

Petronel

Nearly happened a few years back, so we had contingency planning in place (one upstairs TV, one downstairs TV). Now that we go over to the in-laws’ place for the Owl (they are also P*ts fans), it might be a bit more complicated if it should happen.

King Hippo

DFO will buy your gun (or just check one out from the armory) and provide your alibi.

Petronel

Much appreciated, but hopefully not necessary – they’re wonderful people, and it would be more fun to rub it in their faces (if the Niners were to win) if they’re alive.

herodotus450

I wyould fully expect Pats fans to take credit for a 49ers super bowl though: “Jimmy was one of us! He learned it from us!”

Petronel

Sure, they can. He was, and he probably did.

But, if there’s dickwaving to be done:

In my money league I am against Baker and it is going to be tight. I like this start.

Ah, the hashtag Pauls.

Well fuck

WOOP WOOP WOOP

Money fantasy league. I’m done and my opponent has the SF Defense. The browns need points ASAP

King Hippo

You wanted turnover?? Well, you got it anyway. LIFE AND MY FANTASY SIDE ARE SHIT

herodotus450

If we had a real president like Kim Jong Un he’d probably say something like, “Hey China, if you don’t like what the HOuston Rockets had to say, how about we send you one of our other rockets free of charge just ask the Japanese.”

jjfozz

Good christ, did anyone else just get that Candid commercial with the ginger that had a grill worse than Shane Macgowan’s?

Viva La Tabula Raza

Looks like there may be a sodomization getting ready to happen over yonder in Santa Clara this season. PLEEZ BLEERGH and DOINK, let this game be competitive at least.

jjfozz

I am hacking into the MIrror database so I can find out who bought this ego stroker, and then go cross country and murder them with an old fashioned egg beater.

jjfozz

THE LAST TIME AN ITALIAN CAUSED THIS MUCH DAMAGE IN CLEVELAND, THEY TOOK HIM FOR A LONG RIDE AND HE NEVER CAME BACK.

I keep expecting the head coach of the Niners to break out a skateboard and pull a sick Japan air. He looks very extreme.

hippofant

I think Baker is beating Garoppolo in the QB blocking competition so far.

jjfozz

To all you streaming experts, if I have Roku, do I need Apple TV?

ballsofsteelandfury

No, you don’t.

“Wait until you see this big thing in the living room.”

My wife’s heard that one before

I got a 55 inch samsung hooked up today. I can press the buttons on the remote, but i don’t need my finger…

Nice.

THIS NEW 55 INCH TV, I CALL IT EVERY GIRL I SAW IN MY MY SINGLE YEARS, BECAUSE ALL I WANT TO DO IS WATCH IT AND THEN FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET IT INTO MY BED

Col. Duke LaCross

That run just won me my booze league most points on the bench punishment for the week. I have to slam three shots right in a row and post a video to our league text tree.

[pours one out for all the Kurds who are going to die in the next 48 hours]

Viva La Tabula Raza

Cheese kurds?
—Packers fans

hippofant

Eh. To be real clear, the Kurds aren’t going to be annihilated. The Kurds have maintained Kurdistan in the Middle East for years before Syria and ISIS and all that. They’re just going to fade away out of Syria/Turkey, retreat back into the mountains, and let all their ISIS prisoners free is all.

I mean, a lot of people are probably gonna die – more if the Kurds don’t fall back/evacuate as I expect and choose to stay and fight instead – and a lot of ISIS prisoners are going to go right back to ISIS-ing, but I wouldn’t expect a sudden genocide of all Kurds in the Middle East. The Turks haven’t managed that since the 70s, and I don’t see any reason why they’d suddenly be able to now, especially given that the Kurds now have better arms and training and more territority than they used to and the Turish military remains hollowed out after the “Gulenist” purges.

Viva La Tabula Raza

It’s been the same old tub of blood over in that part of the world for two or three millennia. All that’s changed is the effectiveness of the weapons available to the various and sundry sides.

hippofant

The Middle East: Cradle of Human Civilization. Also, Cradle of racial, religious and/or tribal conflicts that go on interminably until everybody’s sucked into its vortex of never-ending violence.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Same difference.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Yeah, I don’t expect a full-on genocide. But it’s still really fucked up that they have been hung out to dry.

I was hoping that’s what I would see when I refreshed the youtube link. I remember seeing him when he was with Max Webster opening for Rush 40-odd years ago, and I love that Go for Soda song.

Ginger Beer, perhaps with a V-profen chaser.

Also, Unsurprised – you gots our MONORAIL!!! song lyric adaptation yet?

Water. On a strict narcotics diet.

Three Wine Company (III3three) Contra Costa Zinfandel someone gifted me. I’m a cabernet guy, but I am suffering this with no problem. In fact, I’m currently drinking the last glass out of the bottle.

Water since I made the healthy but dumb choice to go to the gym. MNF, now with someone other than Ladanian Tomlinson on the stationary bike!

Title sounds like something you’d say to your landscaper.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

I’d just like to point out that I am still alive in the DFO Suicide League after forgetting every week to make my pick until Monday around this time (last week being the only exception). Forced to pick Niners this week because I picked the Browns before, so this’ll be… something.

The Trump administration is pulling out of the Open Skies Treaty, which allows the United States and our allies and partners in Europe to monitor Russian military deployments. Withdrawal risks dividing the transatlantic alliance. #Russia https://t.co/Zqst365U4J pic.twitter.com/UmbPR7cuRO

I’m beginning to think he’s just trying to get impeached at this point so he can claim her never lost and he and his shitbag followers can add another grievance to their never-ending list of them.

Sharkbait

Gotta call in all the favors now. Turkey already started.

Unsurprised

You know the best part?

The Senate Republicans are such shitbag motherfucking traitors already that they won’t ever re-ratify that treaty.

King Hippo

I bet a good third of them are as owned as Herr Fuhrer, British Herr Fuhrer, and Moscow Mitch.

Unsurprised

They’re all owned.

hippofant

It’s fine. There’s no way European nations will restart their own armaments industries and remilitarize, and even if they do, there’s no way they’d be any good at it because when have Europeans ever been good at fighting wars, and even if they were, there’s no way there’d ever start a whole bunch of pointless wars that will kill millions because when have Europeans ever done that?
