Your “Will There be Scoring? Oh Yeah, There’ll be Scoring” Thursday Night Football Open Thread

Man, there’s so little going on out there sports or football-wise but I did see that the on-going tankification of the Fins continues unabated. NFL.com/Ian Rapaport are yakking that Kenyan Drake is on offer. A middling rb on the last year of his rookie deal-the suitors must be tripping over each other to get to the front of the line!

Okay, if there’s nothing happening in sports, then let’s check in on some ports. Away we go!

Haifa:

It’s 24 degrees Celsius there today, which is quite pleasant if you ask me. That’s the perfect sort of weather to unload a half million tons of cargo. (I did the math, sorta) Btw, the Maccabi Haifa basketball squad is playing Maccabi Rishon on Saturday at noon thirty. Tickets can be had for one rooster and half a salt block.

Itaqui:

I need not explain to you that Itaqui is Brazil’s largest seaport-you guys aren’t dumb in the cabasa. It’s 21 and raining but the precipitation is not going to cool things off-it’s going to be 20 overnight. According to Aye caramba!, South America’s version of Yelp, the Estacao Bar is a pleasant experience-the beer is very cold and they serve a tasty picanha.

Klaipeda:

This old town in Lithuania started trading with foreign peoples all the way back in the 13th century. For a city in eastern Europe it’s relatively safe. The odds of you being conked on the head and waking up naked in a glass display case in the palace of the Emir of Qatar run as low as 13%!

TO THE GAME!

Chiefs/Broncos:

The wonk-ity ankle of Mahomes is a worry to fans of the club and a relief to the Denver D. Now that his scrambling forays are reduced, the reigning MVP is taking more chances and missing more throws. Oh, he’ll still toss multiple TD’s but he’s not as efficient. And pass he shall because the Williamses and McCoy have combined for a paltry 89 yards on the ground in the last two losses. Speaking of the run game, Lindsay is averaging 4.7 per pop and the Chiefs D gives up an average of 5.1. Is this the key to a W for them Broncos? I say ‘yes’ because it sure ain’t gonna be won on the arm of Flacco. But!-KC is down to one starting cb and some dregs so… maybe? I’m all over the map here so I’ll shut the old tourtiere-hole.

Gersh dern it. Type.

Maybe all the injuries to QBs this season are the Lord’s punishment for the NFL freezing out Kaep

Mr. Ayo

Is this game in LA? What’s with all the empty seats?

You didn’t know? Yankees fans are equivalent to Dodgers fans who know what the CY Young Award is.

Senor Weaselo

…Because the atmosphere at Petco is electric.

Andy Reid’s so happy he’s going to go with a sponsor for his postgame meal.

The Nats have that “fuck you Bryce” juju. That’s clearly a lofty hate.

Senor Weaselo

CC’s knee officially ded.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

You can literally HEAR the cringe in the basedball announcers as the Yankees make errors.

Sharkbait

Based ball is still playing at this hour?

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

ONLY IN NEW YORK!

Not in the Spanish language broadcast; these guys are LOVING it.

Practice my spanish and avoid listening to Joe Buck? Sign me up, Fox Sports broadcast en espanol!

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

There’s no Joe Buck on FS1, and it’s amazing how much less boring playoff basedball suddenly is.

I wonder how many notes the designers for Crucial Catch got for the colors seeming “too rainbow-y”.

WCS

Folks, this might seem like a HAWT TAEK, but, I’m starting to think the Donks’ offense might not be that good.

King Hippo

It’s almost liek having no positions of strength will limit your offensive production. WEIRD.

Don T

Dropsy WRs, overmatched OL,

King Hippo

he may have lost a step or two, but still tosses a fine murderball

Viva La Tabula Raza

I am thinking that two straight losses to Clots and Texicans might have inspired the Chefs to overcome the odds.

AFC South os a powerhouse woo!

They will pull that Lock motherfucker off IR, and I will long for these salad days of Mister Elite.
