Damn right it’s on! Whew, what a frickin’ ride to get to this point. I just want to thank all the hardcore commenters that kept this thingy of ours afloat when there was so little sports going on that we resorted to Korean baseball and made the best of it. Things aren’t normal-far from it, but a veil of normalcy in the form of the return of NFL football has dropped on our collective heads. I’ll take it. I’ll take it and run with it, thankyouverymuch.
I’m curious, perhaps like many of you, about how the crowds will look/sound, the response to kneeling, coaches interactions with refs, the quality of play, how Covid will be managed, and a hundred other things. Let’s tackle all that shit down below but for now we need to go…TO THE GAME!
Texans vs. Chiefs:
-the spread is 9.5/10 which seems about right (because Vegas does what it does). The game script to me looks like the Chiefs getting on all their horses early and Watson and Co. struggling to keep up. I think he’s got a shot at it because KC’s secondary is not quite the same unit that came together at the halfway point of the season.
-Both David Johnson (play him while he’s upright) and Edwards-Hilaire should get plenty of touches in the form of catches out of the backfield. The rookie will get some because coach Reid is a master of putting his rb’s in space and DJ will do the same because even a coach like Bill O’Brien knows that the Chiefs gives up tons of yards (100 catches for 951) to them guys wandering out from behind the qb.
-what of the absence of Hopkins? What does it really mean for the Texans O? Well, in the two games they played vs. one another last year Hopkins came up with 12 first downs. That’s huge for a team. Right now Cooks is a game-timer and I would think the medical staff wouldn’t take the chance. What’s left? There’s Fuller, Cobbs and Kenny “He’s still in the league?” Stills-not much to look at. They’ll put it together as a unit over the course of the season but tonight is not the night.
-Players props, you say? Take the over on everything regarding Kelce. Due to injury he’ll be defended by Lonnie Johnson Jr, the owner of the very worst PFF score for a cb with 30. No one else was under 40.
As I always say, if you’re new to the site please say hello-we have a shit-ton of fun here on game days. If you happen to already have an account and haven’t said ‘boo’ in a while, we’d love to see your smiling text. Have at it, one and all. We’re back and I’m real fucking happy.
TheSean is wearing a toque? Christ, it’s 56 degrees. Come on.
Did he just threaten to give me Tony Dungy’s thoughts on the social justice movement?
Oh, I’m just hanging on his every word on that subject.

You’ll all be happy to know the Lakers won and have a 3-1 over Houston.
Thanks for being such great fans of my team.
Relax, Ms Buss.
Most loses for Houston tonight since General Zod
Gonna hit a pothole and shoot himself right through the carotid artery, and nothing of value will be lost.
The bullet?
it goes out a hero.

Medical professionals have found that some percentage of COVID-19 patients just can’t seem to kick it.
Hippo will bet on anything, so earlier this evening we made a wager on who would die first. Obviously we had to bet on ourselves yet I made a few side bets on him. One rule was that it could not be a self-inflicted death, which would be morally wrong and cheating as well.
Here is what I believe will be Hippo’s death bed “last view” of this mortal coil:
Why does it look like the cat in the upper left masterminded the whole thing?
Because he’s confident enough not to have to keep an eye on you. He knows he’s in control.
In Soviet Russia, pussy eats you!
I’ve long said that if house cats were 40 lbs heavier, they’d bite you in the neck, kill you and never think twice about it.
Nailed it!

Suck it, Houston!
Oh she did. There was a movie about that.
I think Balls even did a 25 questions on it.

THAT’S MY KICKER!!!
Then he should become a Trump Republican.
Reid even about to see through the fog in his mask?
I’m disappointed. I was hoping for a hamster ball filled with feed on the bottom.
He has so much experience with the sneeze guards on steam tables that it is clear as crystal to him.
This game has been pretty clean with no mistakes. Good bye, Preseason Games.
Praise Bleergh!!!
Dallas 1 Vegas 0
all about them doritos, boss
New Beast Mode Doritos
They plow through your colon like it’s the New Orleans D line
They hit your taste buds like they were a safety in the open field.
All hail the stale chips coated in orange powder that makes a spectrometer go “..the fuck?”
What, what do they taste like?
Wait, don’t tell me.
Skittles?
I still hope Tom Brady fucking dies, and I now feel strangely almost-neutral about the P*ts. Did they move to WICHITA??
I’m the opposite. I’m now slightly indifferent to Tom Brady, yet I want the Patriots to crash and burn in a way that will make Super Bowl XX feel like a day at the park.
Nah, fuck the Patriots. As for Brady, meh?
Wouldn’t be football season without the NFL giving the military a nice handjob mid game.
Hey, that’s the American tax payer’s money paying for the handy. Show some respect!
The TV guys sometimes know to not talk at all. You ain’t even on TV.
Trying more vodka this time.

What’s the over/under on the KC COVID spike over the next two weeks?
I would love to know what the tailgate scene looked like if it was allowed.
Making a Rootbeer float at halftime. Can’t remember the last time i heard one.

My guy gets a carry from the 6 inch line, gets stuffed.
Thanks, Mrs. Favre.
true, he wouldn’t have made it from 4″ out, neither
(different league) Same, AND going against Mahomes. So that’s cool.
I though those guys were excellent at stuffing 6 inchs.

Nick Saban is quite the commercial thespian.
Fuck.
Hurrah! I finally got into this thread!
How about Collinsworth being a pussy and not calling the NFL out on Bieniemy not getting a job?
You could have stopped at “pussy”.
Naomi Osaka rulez.
Bill O’Brian has zero idea what he’s doing.
NAWT A TOUCHDOWN, THE SEQUEL
Mahomes so on fire must be in California
Some dick did it.
You’re sorry for going in her room without permission?
Oh I didn’t know that Andrew Yang also did cheesecake photography.
What flavor did Reid choose for his super bowl ring: ribs, onion rings, fries, or gravy?
Yes
Its like one of them BBQ flavoUred ring pops.
Ah Cris, blithely dismissing the NFL’s institutionalized racism with a chuckle. Never change, Cris, you mealy-mouthed chucklefuck; never change.
Can’t wait til here praises Bellichecks piss boy coaching the Giants
It’ll be 42-3 (Los Gigantos, of course, having the 3), and Cris will still compliment him for something.
The Patriots are so fucked if coordinators just keep wearing masks. Talk about building a wagon wheel empire just before the car comes out.
This makes no goddamn sense. Fifth bourbon, you have cut me down in my prime. I’ll see my way out.

Edwards-Hellaire got him some burst.
I think he went 2nd in our FF draft, which pissed me off, because I intended to take him with the 4th pick.
I bought him for $74 at auction. Was very pleased.
Mr. Richardson?
his NAME is now TOBY!!!
I am enjoying this fine FITBAW product. In the context of Our Timeline, not sure I will ever complain about FITBAW again.
HAWT
“Me Coal, Hard Man,” also Trump’s West Virgina campaign slogan.
David Johnson will be the difference maker here.
Nobody has ever said that outside a medical clinic’s financial office.
I was very happy to see a Mahomes down. I was less than thrilled to see it going to Kelce. Mrs. Sharkbait has him and we’re playing each other this week
Has football always been this boring? I feel like we should be in stoppage time already.
It’s insane how many commercials they show. That drags the game down.
This is taking for fucking ever.
Yup
Travis Kelce has taped at least two people’s buttocks together, he got the idea from Breakfast Club
I thought he learned it from Nick Bosa at the Pro Bowl
Looks like Miley Cyrus is starring in a remake of Labyrinth.
