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.
