“Let Lesser Footy Be Thine Escape” Sabado Open Thread

Hey, did y’all notice?  Darkest Timeline got darker.  As a Karmic punishment, #NuAIDS for teh win!  But chaos is not the ally of the progressive-minded American right now.

So…let’s not think about it.  Lesser Footy and JV NFL slate, commence!

No, you are not waking up (intentionally) for Chelski hosting Palace.  But it streams on Peacock at 7:30, before the real action begins.  Yes, your ONLY 10a window fixture is beat-the-fuck-up-but-still-PERFECT Everton welcoming the Trashbirds (NBCSN).  Brighton have been surprisingly watchable, in the early days.  Should be a reasonably open affair, at minimum.  We get two weeks off to heal up, and that will feel much better sitting on 12 points, rather than 9 or 10.  BUHLEE DAT!

Spotlight dance is City away to New Media Darlings Leeds (12:30, NBC).  As our collaboUrations, eh? panel told you…everyone hates these jammy fucks.  And as such, we Lesser enthUsiasts will expect and welcome the “Angry Pep” beatdown that’s on its way.  Too bad the line will be unbettable, for all practical purposes.

You aren’t streaming Team White Lives Matter away to Barcodes, period, end of.  Our many Spurs supporters – along with bk’s wife (is she unofficially Tank Girl??) and Wakey – will look forward to Sunday Funday’s best entertainment (11:30, NBCSN).  Bleeds into Glorious RedZone time, but everyone remember to wave hello.  You weren’t raised in no goddamned barn!

TCU (+11.5) at Texas (Noon, Fox)

Steerfuckers South are the luckiest sumbitches on the JV planet.  This is perhaps my bet of the week (Bloodeyes to cover in front of God and Gus Johnson).

Texas A&M (+18) at Alabama (3:30, CBS)

Perhaps Roll Damn Tide will have the same jaw-dropping dropoff we saw from LSU last weekend.  But I suspect we will not.  Afternoon nap time MEANS MOAR.

Texas Tech (+2.5) at Kansas State (3:30, FS1)

I know, I know.  TOO MUCH TEXAS.  But this really is fascinating.  Guns Up!! couldn’t be any more deflated, losing like they did against Steerfuckers South last week.  Unded Bill Snyders?  Complete opposite, coming off a most improbable comeback win over Steerfuckers North.  And they aren’t even getting the standard 3 (or 4, since is JV), which screams SUCKER BET.

Ole Miss (+6) at Kentucky (4:00, SECN)

This is a pretty big number for Kenfucky FITBAW against pretty much anyone.  Even Lane Kiffin.  I have a sneaking suspicion that this will be wildly entertaining.

Auburn (+7.5) at Georgia (7:30, ESPN)

These seem like two even squadrons to me, and that’s likely EXTREMELY generous to Jawja.  They have no quartered back, and struggled with freaking ARKANSAS last week.  War Damn Eagle has a terrifying front seven.  Put those factors together?  Have to love Aubie ML and maybe even the dreaded under bet.

Arkansas (+17) at Mississippi State (7:30, SECN-Alt)

Yeah, I think we all want to see Mike Leach’s encore.  Hopefully, his QB’s arm ain’t fall off from all that LSU embarrassing duty.  Pig Sooey were scrappy last week, but I am mostly seeing that as UGA weakness.

Oklahoma (-7) at Iowa State (7:30, ABC)

Both these teams ought to be right pissed off.  Vegas thinks Steerfuckers North is the side who can do sommet about it.  I always like Cornpone State more than I should (see pictured cheer squadron).

[complains to DFO’s HOA about Fronkenshteen’s loud commenting]

scotchnaut

I never fail to laugh when a soccer dude has everything lined up, no defenders in front of him, a perfect pass headed his way, a wide-open net.. and he boots it 20 yards left/right/over the goal.

Gumbygirl

Gumby and I know a guy who used to pick up single mom’s at Chuck E Cheese.

Fronkenshteen

Saints down THREE starters in the defensive backfield. Stafford smash?

litre_cola

My option is Russ or fatso in ure pool Hippo.

litre_cola

I did week one because I am stupid and i am 2-1 for that reason.

scotchnaut

I’ve got Ryan and him and is reconsidering. I figured Ryan was a no-brainer the whole year.

Gratliff

Here I was thinking about how shitty this season is with my team being 0-2-1 and somehow one win away from taking the division lead. A cancelled season would be better than watching them shamble on to become the first 6-win playoff team in NFL history.

litre_cola

Now do the EPL next please.

scotchnaut

I want a team from the NFC East to be the very first to win the division and have a top ten pick in the draft based on their record. MAKE BLEERG HISTORY HAPPEN!

bk109

Look on the bright side – maybe, just maybe, the NFL would decide to do a bracket-style playoff with seeding determined by the performance in the real season when/if the season resumes 😀 Hell, we may even see the seventh seal get broken an’ have the Browns go on a run XD

scotchnaut

A Brown run? Ewww.

bk109

Fuck it, make it a double skidmark and have a “not really” Superb Owl between Cincy and the Factory

Gratliff

And I do mean shamble

At some point, their entire training staff needs to be criminally liable, right?

scotchnaut

Giants had the same issue three years in a row and fired all of the training staff/strength coaches. Things got noticeably better afterwards.

litre_cola

Leipzig is kicking the living shit out of Schalke.

Fronkenshteen

Fuuuuck. Chris Christie is as good as dead.

Having this kind of day already.

Evenin’ lads and lasses! I hope your day’s grand so far (or that failing that, you haven’t done someone you’ll regret in the morning!)

Fronkenshteen

I think I’ve landed here at nap time.

TheRevanchist

I find myself suddenly rooting for the Changs.

Fronkenshteen

Leeds ain’t sneaking up on anyone here. Unfortunately they get Man City coming off a humiliating loss. Let’s geddit ON!

Fronkenshteen

Aww. I like those guys.

scotchnaut

TCU/Texas has more penalty yards than positive yards for the offenses.

scotchnaut

You spelled postrona-ed wrong.

bk109

Holy fuck, I think we’re rapidly approaching the “We’ve made the difficult decision to suspend the season” statement from the Ginger Revenger himself… Damn, I had 50 on “after week 8” in the work pool

Per the 506, most of the nation was going to get that as the CBS late matchup. Guess we’ll be seeing Buffalo at Raiders instead.

Oh Gamblor I just can’t stay mad at you. French Ligue 2? Don’t mind if I deux…

scotchnaut

I voir what you did there.

Brocky

who has 2 thumbs and just added the chiefs defense in fantasy?

herodotus450

Lipitor? No, no, that has less than two. And it’s been added TO the chefs defense… against triglycerides.

Brocky

kinda redundant, cuz I’m already starting the rams d against the giants, but still, good hustle on my part?

scotchnaut

Aaron Donald is going to have several field days tomorrow.

With Cam Newton out (‘rona) i need to choose 2 out of Joe Burrow, Carson Wentz, and Nick Mullen. Any advice from anyone other than Horatio?

litre_cola

Mullen and Burrow.

TheRevanchist

He’s actually picked it up since week 1. Should do okay for you.

litre_cola

Iggles have 1 active WR….. its Greg Ward.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Yeah, Burrow is the given. Hell, I’m thinking of preemptively picking up Kyle Allen.

litre_cola

Don’t worry they be coming with a certain team from West London that shall not be named due to utter incompetence.

BaldingSpiritually

Cam Newton now dancing with the Rona.

litre_cola

2 qb lge I have The Ben, TanneyFanny, and Cam. Bahahahahaha. I now have picked up BloodSugarFitzMagik and Haskins. The last 2 starters left….

Jesus, we’re a 2 qb league and those guys are long gone. I picked up Taysom Hill just in case.

litre_cola

I meant 2 qb lge. And those were my 3. This makes this season very interesting.

montythisseemsstrangetome

Gibby and McCarver were Canadian?

montythisseemsstrangetome

forgot where I was for a moUment.

litre_cola

That’s better.

Wait, Putin sent Trump a telegram of well wishes? Was his carrier pigeon on the fritz?

I heard it came with a complimentary cup of tea, delivered by brand new White House employee Boris Notrussian Definitely Americanov.

He missed the last auto gyro to Siam.

Please tell me BOLTMAN has one more transportation to Walter Reid in store for LAC’s doctor.

Congress and the President should have to go to the local VA for any medical needs, then maybe the VA would get some upgrades.

“Although you can’t see them, you just know that she has the kind of shoulders you can rest your hopes upon.”

-Anon, N.C

yeah right

I will absolutely second this thought. Greatest pitcher I remember seeing pitch. He pitched the first baseball game I ever watched live. Cards at Dodgers in August of 1969. Mostly I remember being in the outfield pavilion at Dodger stadium in left center between Kurt Flood and Lou Brock.

When we woke up the next morning there was some kookiness about some hippies who murdered some Hollywood types ritualistically.

Memorable.

The LOVESAC is a little ol’ place where…

The Constitution clearly states that if everyone in the line of succession for the Presidency dies, then it goes to the current holder of the DFO banner quote.

Gumbygirl, prepare yourself.

Gumbygirl

I am ready! Let’s form a cabinet, just in case. BK for Sec of Defense, cuz he has the tanks! I don’t care if he isn’t American, Trump isn’t human and he got elected. Canadians are eligible too! Let me know what job you want, I will make it happen. That is my solemn pledge to you. First order of bizness, legal and cheap weed everywhere. Mandatory in red states, those fuckers need to Chill Out.

montythisseemsstrangetome

Canadians not only eligible but preferred!

Unsurprised

I didn’t know Norte Dame’s president was at the Amy Barrett whatever event and now has COVID-19.

This has officially become the funniest week in the funniest year of my entire life.

People might not like to hear it, but I think the best hyperbolic parabola saddle shaped-proccessed potato based snack is Stax, not Prangles.

montythisseemsstrangetome

Actually I DO like hearing “hyperbolic parabola”.

So you’re betting that Crotone is going to toss Sussuolo’s salad?
