Your “It’s A Facial Hair Foofaraw!” Thursday Night Football Open Thread

A special/limited edition Pepsi can goes to the winner! That strikes me as a half-decent marketing gimmick-good job soul-less international corporation.

I wasn’t too happy drafting 5th in a couple of leagues this year but it turns out it was one of a few sweet spots this year considering who has gone down to injury. You weren’t high enough to grab Saquon/McCaffrey and not low enough to be enticed by Thomas. Sometimes the sun shines on this old man’s arsehole.

TO THE GAME!

Fins/Jags:

-The Jags are the youngest team in the league at 24.9 years. If Miami didn’t have Fitz they would be the youngest. That tends to happen when you jettison all your assets for draft picks I guess.

-The Fins are without wins this year but not by design so there’s a bit of grumbling amongst the faithful. But last week’s game was going fine until cb Byron Jones went down and was replaced by the youngest player in the league (wish me luck spelling this)  last of the first rounder’s cb Igbinoghene. Diggs went a-feasting and the game turned. Sometimes it’s that simple.

-You do want to keep an eye out for  6’1″, 230 pound rook “plays all the skill positions” Laviska Shenault though. He’s an entertaining player that runs in a violent fashion and he gets the ball all over the field. His problem in college was staying healthy and so far so good.

-The over/under on this is 49 and the Jags can’t pressure the qb yet and Miami gives up the most yards per play two weeks in.

-Minshew has been exceptionally efficient with a 75% completion rate, a 7.9 yards per attempt and 6 TD’s to boot. His only two interceptions came on a batted pass at the line of scrimmage and rook wr trying to catch a pass that was not meant for him.

-Fantasy sweetheart come-lately is UDFA rb James Robinson who had 120 combined yards and a score. Good for him.

Well, that was my best effort to make this game look good. I actually do think it will be entertaining however. Go get ’em!

Look…I am all for BLM, but can we please acknowledge that a shit ton of suburban kids have come into black communities and destroyed shit?

Also, how many more times is Portland City Hall going to be sacked? We are on something like day 200 of rioting. Portland doesn’t even allow black people to own property in that fucking city.

Unsurprised

I want to agree. However, there are enough people I know secondhand who work at the justice center and hate it because they are under siege, and whom I hate, that I am ambivalent.

JustStopDude

Its hilarious, in the way you have to laugh or you will scream, how all along east lake street in Minneapolis, every single black own business was hit by rioters, but the hipster bars managed to not be touched.

Or how the Chaz self defense force managed to murder more young brothers in two weeks than the Portland PD in over 50 years.

As an African American, I really get uncomfortable when white people create roving justice mobs…given American history.

Unsurprised

Portland replaced the black people with BLM posters.

Nice move by my player* Robinson!

*My player whom I was unaware of, existence-wise until a couple weeks ago.

King Hippo

Fucker. The website crashed on me, or I would have nominated him for $2 as my last auction nomination.

/Spam had #1 waiver priority after Week 1, I got Gaskin #2 at least

SonOfSpam

It’s ok, Gaskin looked good slamming into the line 3 times in a row.

King Hippo

TRUE Hippo Story! In the Year of Our Lord 2019, I lost a fantasy matchup to a guy who started two dudes on bye.

I considered this my rock bottom, except that I kept getting worse at everything.

*except pill refilling

Sounds like code for: you had a fantasy about two bi dudes and you were getting rocked as a bottom?

Dammit. Scotchy has Preston Williams. And I’m sure he started him against me instead of keeping Kirk in his lineup.

He did not!

My octogenarian parents recently sold their ranch and bought a smaller place in Kerrville. Due to my foot I have not been able to help them move, but was happy to hear that they actually hired a moving crew for all the large stuff..

King Hippo

Guess who started Gaskin in his money league??

/yes I am 0-2 y due u ask

SonOfSpam

Why did my opponent start Lambo, who is currently on IR? Is he generous or stupid or both?

Also, he is starting Minshew and Shenault. As is a different opponent in a different money league. Times are strange.

King Hippo

Shenault y Robinson in DFO/no moneys league. I was just bored.

Fitzpatrick has turned full hipster.

Sweep the leg.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I’ve been keeping my beard trimmed for the last 9 months while stuck at home, once every two weeks or so. Coming up on time to do it again, and the thought crossed my mind that I should grow out a big old ZZ Top masterpiece. But seeing Fitz’s interview, I think I’ll charge up the trimmer tonight.

Video Game Update (because the Real World sucks ass): After numerous (honestly lost count) trial and error efforts, I was able to find a way to NOT be drafted by the Miami Dolphins in Madden NFL 20. In retrospect, its now seems obvious that being barely adequate in the College Playoffs and then simultaneously sucking/blowing in the Combine would guarantee Cincinnati taking you in the 4th Round. Either way, being taken by the Bengals means I was able to complete the Redshirt NFL Revenge Tour and completely murderdeathkill every team I faced. True, it was on Rookie, but this wasn’t for sport; this was therapy

And I don’t have to ever think about the Miami Dolphins again.

(turns on Thursday Night Football game)

Aw, shit.

In hindsight I have too much money on this game.

An anti-masker (who was wearing a mask) was trying to convert me in the coffee shop today. I was way too polite.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

I like to imagine a vaporization was involved.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

So I was ordering coffee and he asks me what I thought of this “mask nonsence” I said something about science then he asked if I’ve heard of a British “doctor” who does stupid YouTube videos and I just said I don’t need to waste time on that shit or some such.

Viva La Tabula Raza

“mask nonsence”

Was he a Brit?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Another typo, sorry.

Viva La Tabula Raza

As this guy Moose would say, “that’s the joke.”

I got the colour, just wanted make sure it wasn’t my joke. This guy was pure MAGA.

I need to actually read what you said. The Fresh Prince of Epstein.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

This needs bannered, and not just because Jeffrey is just hanging around.

Sharkbait

Epstein jokes are just low hanging fruit.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Listen; you are just sticking your neck out repeating jokes.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Has there been any more reporting on Epstein? I haven’t seen him in the noose lately.

Sharkbait

I think the news squeezed the life out of that story a while ago

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

But the conspiracy theories keep on giving.

Gumbygirl

He’s quite the swinger!

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

He was three sheets to the wind.

That shit comes naturally to you to do well, no worries, if fact you probably do well with some weed and some time pressure.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

One episode I typed on my mother’s couch the night before Thanksgiving, since we had to go visit her last-minute due to a health scare. I think I got it done a few hours before it was supposed to pot.

Sadly, no weed was involved.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Since I see you were keeding I withdrawing the comment, but not the gif.

comment image

Beastmode Ate My Baby

You’re not wrong, though. I did some pretty good eps under a real time-crunch on the first go-round.

Now I try to get them done by Monday or Tuesday so I don’t have that nagging pressure.

Gonna be pretty awkward when “Color Rush History” gets it’s own month, and that month has more than 28 days.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

If it was 28, it would have to be red.

Excuse me, is this where I come to indulge in Minshewmania?
