Your “1-4, Northern Ontario Hobos At The Bye” Sunday Night Football Open Thread

Last season was good. I won’t deny that. My only setback was at the switchyard when I ran into… complications. Ahh, no harm done-to him or me. And that’s important-you’ve got to recognize a dicey situation when you see one and extract yourself as quickly as possible. There’s always another day if you play the cards you’re dealt correctly.

This season has been good so far. There’s plenty of targets out there if you know where to look and if I do one thing well, it’s biding my time. Some of my critics would point out the debacle at the truck stop as a failure on my part but let me respond. If that kid had been ten years older he’d be dust right now. A number of guys in my fan base don’t understand my over-arching rationale. People that make mistakes in their lives over and over again and end up in dire circumstances need to be eliminated from our community so that our community can thrive. It doesn’t get much simpler than that.

That kid. He was in a really bad spot but it wasn’t because of mistakes he made. He was just trying to get by and didn’t have the tools yet. That’s why I gave him an opportunity. And I sincerely hope that he gets by and pulls himself out of his situation. And you should too. Look, I understand the effects of bloodlust just like you do but there must, must be a line. Otherwise we’re just animals.*

Oh, btw, I’ve got a special treat for you next week. See you then.

TO THE GAME!

Eagles/Cowboys:

How bad is the te spot fantasy-wise? Ertz is the 5th ranked dude in PPR averaging 12.6. [starts singing] Where have you gone, Gronk Dimaggio, fantasy players turn their lonely eyes to you… wooo, wooo, wooo. I’m just streaming the spot the rest of the year hoping to get a measley 6 points and make it up somewhere else. As far as the game itself, no matter the victor the NFC East will still be as muddled as a mojito.

Not sure Lamar! will still be in the League at age 30, but he sure is fun to watch.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Exspeshullee beating *certain* teams.

Zeke plays with nose piercings in? That seems like a bad idea.

Is he going to play the Rams at some point this season?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Talib’d!

Gratliff

Princeton survives to lose another playoff game

As people say, (people on Twitter that I’m stealing this from), you can’t spell Eagles without an L.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I’ll be in my bunk.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Done.

Horatio Cornblower

She’s the Deion Sanders of spanking videos, in that she’s completely failing to make contact.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

That’s an extra 20.

*For either.

Gratliff

Yup. Nelson deliberately chose to not catch a ball that would have at least been a long completion while there was still the smallest amount of hope.

I love the grope ‘n’ spank technique.

Jason Garrett is married. To a woman. A live woman. Wtf

King Hippo

Jerral and Princeton Red get along, because their wives both have male first names?

Spur

Hot Wife’ing sessions

Horatio Cornblower

Jason Garret being married to a woman named Brill is just too perfect.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

She brought the mint juleps!

Horatio Cornblower

Willing to bet that Eric Dickerson would prefer not to be known by “ED”

Gratliff

Was on the stupid fucking elliptical during the attempted bomb to Agholor. He absolutely short armed a sure catch there, right?

King Hippo

I’m pretty high, and paying scant attention.

Sharkbait

I’m drinking and not really paying attention

King Hippo

just trying to put off Monday at this point

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

A sentence very similar to this was uttered in a gym in Kabul.

Spur

One more beer.

Gratliff

What trove of aborted fetuses did Sean Lee discover to avoid getting hurt this far into the season?

Spur

He cant remember. No really he cant remember.

Game Time Decision

When you score zero on the concussion test, one can no longer fail it

hippofant

He’s not starting any more. Jaylon Smith and Leyton Van Der Esch are.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

To be fair; they make REALLY good tacos.

Spur

Eagles losing to an overrated Cowboys team, you hate to see it.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

This is the worst cowboys on eagles crime since the ranchers poisoned all those eagles back in ’86.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Would have accepted a DDT joke.

Spur

Birds are rapidly becoming extinct in the NFL

King Hippo

Seriously, Pederson jerks off for 3 full quarters, but has his previously seriously injured franchise QB in a 4-score, chippy game under 8 minutes to play??

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

You are such a pussy.

King Hippo

I wish I could disagree.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

He needs to man up, even if he breaks his leg in garbage time!!

Gratliff

Fuck it. Whatever. At least one of these teams has a Super Bowl recent enough that it exists beyond oral tradition. So Eagles beat Green Bay, are the only win for the Falcons. Dallas beat Eagles, are the only win for the Jets, who the Eagles drilled into the ground. Fuck knows what’s going on here. Can zero teams come out of the East?

King Hippo

bet the house on a win at Buffalo next week

Gratliff

Would also like zero teams to come out of that East

Spur

Watchman looks awesome.

Spur

Guaranteed win huh?

Game Time Decision

I CALL THESE LAST FOUR PLAYS HOT POTATO AS NO ONE WANTS TO HANG ONTO THE BALL

King Hippo

NOW THROW A TD TO GALLUP ASSHOLES

Mr. Ayo

It’s endearing you still have hope of any kind.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

New Mexico?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Hi, can I get a Jordan Howard td so I don’t have to care what Sam Darnold does tomorrow?

King Hippo

I am good, so long as The’Veon Bell dies almost immediately tomorrow

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I also have The Veon

Spur

Wentz is troubling by all this Trump impeachment talk.

Mr. Ayo

Good job, good effort Dakota Jesus.

Spur

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Viva La Tabula Raza

Totally subjective initial reaction to Week Seven’s results based solely upon my hatred of, non-hatred of, or total indifference to various NFL teams.
PHI-DAL – Fuck Dallas.
KC-DEN – No surprise, don’t care.
HOU-IND – Godammit
SF-WAS – Yaaasss. 1-15 still a possibility!
ARI-NYG – Yay.
MIA-BUF – If Buffalo continues to win, I’ll probably be able to watch them play NE here in South TX at the end of the season.
OAK-GB – Who gives a fuck, except the two GB fans in my office?
LAC-TEN – Who gives a fuck besides Don T?
NO-CHI – Who gives a fuck besides my old buddy who only roots for the Saints because his new wife has season tix to Saints games?
BAL-SEA – Who gives a fuck?
LAR-ATL – Who gives a fuck besides General Sherman?
JAX-CIN – Who gives a fuck besides Redshirt?
MIN-DET – No one cares except Magary, although I’d have liked to see Lions prevail, as I always do.

I can’t wait for the WS to start so I can hear some more compelling commentary from Joe Buck.

Say, Magic 8-ball, will P*ts prevail against the recovered spleen?

● It is certain.
● It is decidedly so.
● Without a doubt.
● Yes – definitely.
● You may rely on it.
● As I see it, yes.
● Most likely.
● Outlook good.
● Yes.
● Signs point to yes.

Did I miss a game? Who gives a fuck? Hippo will handle it tomorrow morning,

ballsofsteelandfury

Would you like you write a weekly post?

King Hippo

and/or fill in for me when I have my periodic mental breakdowns??

/already wrote Monday’s

Viva La Tabula Raza

I’m a lazy fuck, so it might be problematic for me to stick with a schedule. Pursuant to our previous correspondence, I have my foot surgery scheduled for 10 December, after which time I may be amenable to committing myself to some kind of schedule, since I will apparently be immobile after that procedure is done for 2 or 3 months.

King Hippo

GET ALL TEH PILLZ

Viva La Tabula Raza

ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY!

Sharkbait

All Blacks are the Patriots of Rugby Union*

Meant to post this on Hippo’s post below.

King Hippo

I know less about this comic book stuff than I do rugby. The new world order frightens and confuses a Hippo.

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

Except you’re more likely to have Tama from Auckland than Tommy from Quinzee

King Hippo

Watching the 2nd half, you’d be hard pressed to know which team was chasing the 3 score deficit

Spur

Time to put Wentz on his ass for fucking with Dak like that

King Hippo

no, just throw a TD to Gallup pls

Sharkbait

MOAR RYE!

King Hippo

yeah, this turrible game just needs MOAR BLEERGH DELAYS

King Hippo

ALL TEH GALLUP

Gratliff

I do so love when the defender spears the player towards the first down

Spur

Watchman has some social commentary going

Viva La Tabula Raza

I’d be a bigger fan of his (Allan Moore’s) work if he wasn’t such a flaming asshole. But I am still a big fan of his work.

Sharkbait

Totally stopped paying attention. Game still not good?

Gratliff

About 10 points away from being watchable

King Hippo

Bleed that clock, still put some points on the board. Pedersen’s GOT this!

King Hippo

why would you decline this??

the Alpha and the Amoeba

Lull them into a false sense of security

Spur

Wentz is a shifty one

Gratliff

*calls 4 consecutive draws*

King Hippo

gotta make sure you at least don’t jeopardize the 3!

Viva La Tabula Raza

Come on Eagles, I don’t want to have to listen to all the Cowboy fans at the office crowing tomorrow.

Gratliff

Okay! Time to establish the run!

Spur

back to the plane?

King Hippo

beat me to it

Gratliff

This was not meant to be a suggestion

Gratliff

Should be a code that you get to deck whoever gets flagged when you get a good runback

King Hippo

3rd down and Pi*10??

Gratliff

I have never been so sure of a first down as I am right now

Gratliff

Hey that works too

Gratliff

WHAT IS PI

King Hippo

Wow, even Cooper thought was on him (again)

Gratliff

So Dallas scores here, Eagles get 28 straight, lose in last minute, right? This is my hell.

Horatio Cornblower

Well, I would say that ‘Watchmen’ got just slightly political in the first episode, considering they opened with a pretty graphic recreation of the Tulsa Race Riot of 1921.

King Hippo

but I’m sure they was GOOD PPL ON BOTH SIDES

Horatio Cornblower

At least 10 of the white mob died, so in that sense I would agree with you.

Spur

Forgot that was on

Viva La Tabula Raza

Do they still have that big blue guy with the giant penis in the mix?

Horatio Cornblower

Judging from the “coming this season” at least his right hand will make an appearance. No word on his giant penis.

King Hippo

HBO just LOVES showing the dong, though. Remember that Leftovers episode??

Horatio Cornblower

never saw that one, but I saw more cock on The Righteous Gemstones than at any point that didn’t involve Buddy, a bottle of ether, and ride in a trunk.

the Alpha and the Amoeba

Yeah, but I heard he’s played by will smith now

Viva La Tabula Raza

Also, Texas was there Sooner than Oklahoma when it comes to race riots.
