Your “Step Right Up, Good Seats Still Available!” Monday Night Football Open Thread

A partially-closed DeShaun Watson eye scans the NFL…

Fallout:

-Kenyan Drake is off to the desert. He’ll likely get the start on Thursday night because David Johnson is limpy and Chase Edmonds is gimpy. Somehow Kalen Ballage will vulture his only TD opportunity.

-Speaking of those Cards, guess which O has the lowest # of turnovers in the league at 4? Ya hear that, Danny TenCent?

-DL Leonard Williams heads to The Big Crapple for a 3rd and a 5th. It makes all kinds of not-sense, playing a fella for 8 games before his contract runs out. The Jets will be paying 80% of his remaining salary though. Twitter speculation says that the Giants have a verbal agreement in hand. We shall see.

-Other news out in the NFLsphere says that the Potato Skins are willing to listen to trade offers for Trent Williams-less than 24 hours before the trade deadline of 4pm EST. Look, I’m willing to dump on this witless franchise as much as any German scat kunstlerin is on the chest of a hairy middle-aged businessman but this is just a matter of returning some phone calls that were made over the last two months.

-Everyone marvels about the Pats “historic” D but San Franny is only giving up an average of 128 yards passing per game. Yeah, the Pats are in 2nd with 148 but the Niners average over the last 3 games has been 66.

TO THE GAME!

Fins/Steelers:

These guys are 2-10 combined. Abysmally average Mark Walton takes the helm as Miami’s go-to back. He’ll set the world or his offensive line on fire-there is no in-between! You’re here because your sense of humor veers toward the macabre or you’re behind in fantasy and need JuJu to come up with some points. Hell, we don’t discriminate here-think of DFO as a wide-open trench coat, inviting one and all to have a good, hard, lingering look at all the goods on offer.

I can’t hear any tippity tapping. But I can hear a police car siren. Gotta Go!

Absofuckinglutely.

Doktor Zymm

It’s a fine, fine line between semi-competence and semi-incompetence

Gratliff

Ah, the Keenum Line

Miami reverting to form or Pittsburgh reverting to form?

I need to rewatch Hannibal. I can’t believe that fucking show got on network TV.

Dr. Lector and Clariiiiissssse are the best love story of modern times.

Gatoraids

Going to get so many shit trade offers from every Connor and Schuster owner this week

Gatoraids

Fantasy football EPA declared this game a Superfund site

WCS

Driving home from my parents’ house, and now know what Harry felt after Lloyd slipped the Turbo Lax into his coffee. I hope the toilet works.

Viva La Tabula Raza

How does the mo-taur pee and poo?

Doktor Zymm

Exhaust pipe, duh

Viva La Tabula Raza

He must have a very complicated gastro-intestinal tract.

Doktor Zymm

At some agri-motor colleges they have a fistulated mo-taur so students can study the fuel-injection ruminant

Gatoraids

You say glass is half empty I say nice arm punt

Mr. Ayo

This game is quite entertaining.

If you don’t like competent QB play.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Better than a punt, probably.

Doktor Zymm

I miss the first half

Gatoraids

Still mourning game of thrones too

Gatoraids

Mmm nother timeout on the 40

Gatoraids

Favorite episode of Mad about You since we brought it up

Doktor Zymm

Did anyone tell the Dolphins the half wasn’t over?

Gatoraids

What? Over? Did you say ‘over’? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!…

Game Time Decision

We’ve secretly replaced Rudolph with Rex Grossman. let see if anyone notices

Gatoraids

Hahaha timeout woekrd as planned

King Hippo

WOW, LOLfins.

Mr. Ayo

LOLfins come through in the clutch

Petronel

NICE BLOCK

Gatoraids

Montcrief was chewing gum so obviously couldn’t run at same time

Doktor Zymm

I think the most interesting thing about penalties being reviewed is how often they still manage to get shit wrong in slo-mo

Don T

And yet the NFL won’t use GPS to measure first down conversions to the angstrom. Big Chain at work!

hippofant

Is pulling the DB’s arm down while he’s trying to up for the ball possibly OPI? That’s the only thing I could see.

Is the name of that band “Dildo Rising”? I may need to put the closed caption on

Game Time Decision

Paging balls.

Petronel

Which could be a search term in itself.

Master class in dickhead heeling by Jericho, and the big moment with the punch. That’s a segment that sold a whole shitload of t-shirts.

Dunstan

I didn’t watch much of “Mad About You,” but Helen Hunt was a serious hottie.

Gatoraids

Any imagined Congress with Paul Reiser ruins it

King Hippo

yes and yes

hippofant

I went back to watch the show during the 00s, and honestly, it was pretty good.

There’s still one episode that really sticks with me, an episode where they pledge to let their daughter cry herself out at night. They filmed the whole episode in one take and it’s pretty amazing. Still sticks out in my memory now.

Fish shit talking. Love it.

Dunstan

Well, there goes the shutout.

(Hey, I just wanted to try “confidence in your team” on for size.)

Covalent Blonde

“Oops. I don’t think this is my size after all.”

Dunstan

Seriously. I don’t trust the Fins to hold this lead until halftime….

Gatoraids

Fins have had all the 2nd half adjustments of a noose

Covalent Blonde

How in hot fuck am I older than Roethlisberger? Every time I see him I am confronted by the inequities of time!

Spur

Lindelof’s Watchman has taken hold of me. The Luddite Fascist world has me wanting more. It’s unabashedly political . I love it.

King Hippo

it’s not too comic book-y?

Spur

If you never read the Graphic Novel, shame on you.
But you can enjoy it coming in fresh. It will only make you want to read it.

Gatoraids

Well Alan Moore disavowed it so not too comic books. Starting pretty heavy but good and supposedly 2 was worst of first 6 so should get even better

Spur

Would anything make Alan Moore happy?

hippofant

Death.

King Hippo

crowd quiet enough you can hear MIA shit talking

Gatoraids

We have saved up a year’s worth of material

Covalent Blonde

Holy JUJU

Petronel

What is the flavor of Yinzer angst? (Stale beer and machine grease come to mind.)

Doktor Zymm

Brat that’s been dropped on the floor and now has a pubic hair stuck to it

Dunstan

That’s Yinzer joy, not angst.

King Hippo

with a pinch of git ‘er done!!11

Covalent Blonde

Mason Rudolph is looking forward to the Genesis Halftime Show

Gatoraids

Don’t just stare at a loss to the Dolphins eat it

Col. Duke LaCross

Werner Herzog in the Mandalorian? Holy shit.

Covalent Blonde

Did Marino get somehow much thicker in the neck region than normally humanly possible?

Gatoraids

Isotoner should make scarves

King Hippo

a leather scarf would have lots of traction in the auto-erotic asphyxiation community

Gatoraids

Connor flopping this bad doesn’t bode well for the new Terminator movie

Spur

Evening Folks

Covalent Blonde

Howdy!

Covalent Blonde

It’s like Joe Thronton is a QB

herodotus450

Hockey reference! I get it! Another one of us!

Game Time Decision

The qb is 90 years old?

Covalent Blonde

I’ve been learning that if you want to keep your 90 year-old forward company, you should reunite him with his other 90 year-old companion… you know, one who just chooses to not sport a Father Time beard

Unsurprised

I’m trying to start a rumor that Ryan Fitzpatrick played basketball in college, to see if I can get every sports person’s head to explode

Gatoraids

Ryan Fitzpatrick-Graham

Dunstan

Which college was that?

herodotus450

Someplace in Boston I think, Fahk U.

Doktor Zymm

I think golf instead of basketball would be an interesting twist

Unsurprised

Ryan Fitzpatrick played basketball in college? Wow!

Redshirt

Steeler Nation booing? Beautiful.

WCS

Glad to see Randy Finchtner has Rudolph in the 47-step dropback game plan.

King Hippo

I am sure PIT talk radio will have some very measured and not-at-all-raycess TAEKS on Tomlin in the morning.

Covalent Blonde

Because: P O C K E T

King Hippo

Does Yinzburgh have some crippling OL injuries I didn’t notice before? This is wretched.

Game Time Decision

Checking fantasy scores ( fuck my teams suck if I need players from either team) and couldn’t figure out whose winning from the app. What a shitty matchup

King Hippo

I FUCKING DESPISE THAT E-TRADE AD, PUT THEM AT HEAD OF THE LINE FOAR BLOODLETTING

Doktor Zymm

I second this motion

King Hippo

you and I can recruit for the DFO Select Bloodletting Committee

Redshirt

My dad always said his two favorite teams are Cincinnati and whoever is playing Pittsburgh.

King Hippo

1 out of 2 ain’t bad?

King Hippo

By winning this fixture, MIA makes the #1 they get from the Yinz (for other FitzMagic) MOAR valuable. Getting a QB and LT in a draft high in quality for both.

herodotus450

Ha! Forgot Pittsborgh went all in this year. Wasn’t that after Roethlisberger got hurt?

King Hippo

yup, they stupid

herodotus450

I was going to say that the AFC North might have the top four draft pics this year, but I guess not.
