Your “I’m Here For The Brady Slurp Fest” Thursday Night Football Open Thread

It’s gonna be bad guys. Real bad.

-the Bills/Titans game seems to be hanging in the balance. As noted by yours truly before, let’s get some Wednesday Night footballing going. Ya know ya wanna.

-Every Little Bit Helps-Falcons cb A.J. Terrell has finally graduated from Covid U and should see game action on Sunday. Let the torching commence. All told, five members of Atlanta’s secondary are hammyed, concussed or IR’d. This qb Ryan trying to throw his team back in the game looks like a year-long thing.

-Team’s qb Haskins is down and out in Washington. Destroyer of wide receiver’s competency, Kyle Allen, gets another shot at mediocrity. What did I say about being leery of one-year wonders coming out of college? Huh? Huh? Best of luck to anyone behind that garbage fire of an o-line though.

TO THE GAME!

Bucs/Bears:

-You had to think that at some point-given the quality of Tampa’s receiving corps-that Brady would go off sooner or later. That it happened with Godwin out and Scotty Miller and Cam Brate scoring, well that was a bit unexpected.

-Your Super Sneaky Fantasy Start is going to be a fella that grabbed himself a score last week and that is Ke’Shawn Vaughn. Tampa is so banged up at rb that they may only have him and Dropper Of All Soft Passes Out Of The Backfield, Ronny Jones III available. Horny Fourny didn’t practice on Tuesday so he’s likely a sitter-outer.

-If he dons the cup tonight keep an eye out for Darnell Mooney-last week his target share, route run percentage and air yards were second only to Allen Robinson II.

-Much like Foles, you should keep a sharp eye on Vita Vea-this alliterative interior lineman (along with Aaron Donald) is the only player at his spot to have more than a 20% win rate on pass rushing downs.

Give me your best down below.

Didn’t get the job. Wife hates me. Bourbon. Wine. Bourbon. Fuck my life. Fuck every last fucking cuntwad who ever went into human resources.

So how is everyone else?

PS eyeing the vodka

Unsurprised

I get to take the train home tomorrow.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

No fucking comparison.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Yeah, a couple quantum levels or three.

Unsurprised

Indeed. I can’t help being a fucking asshole.

Don T

I’ll have some wine too. Fuck HR.

jjfozz

In my life I have never felt this hopeless. The black dog of depression is on me like stink on shit. I want to punch the world.

Unsurprised

The one thing I’ve been able to muster and tell other people in your position is that at least you’re not alone, and it is 100% not your fault. You have things in life I would murder a continent to have (not just Antarctica, either). I’m in a temporarily different and ostensibly more secure position. But so fucking what.

What matters is what you have right now. What matters is that a lot of that – no one and nothing on Earth can take that away. Fuck the world. At least you’re still Fozz.

Viva La Tabula Raza

With the unemployment numbers like they are these days, I guess HR folks (and all their employers) can afford to be stiff pricks.

HR is generally made of suck at any given company, but I’m sure they’re even more inundated than usual with applications.

Doktor Zymm

HR is fucking awful, absolutely worth an arid vodka martini

jjfozz

I get it, I didn’t get the job. Fine. But you can’t fucking get in touch with me? explain why?

the other job i interviewed for – the guy was a cunt – they never acknowledged the samples I sent

or the thank you email

People eat shit

Sharkbait

I FUCKING HATE when jobs ghost you. Have the fucking decency to say I didnt get the job you fuckwits.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

That is cowardly shit. My company is not Google or some shit, but the policy is to get back with everybody who gives it a shot.

Doktor Zymm

A company that’s shitty to its applicants is usually shitty to their employees as well. Could be a blessing in disguise that you didn’t get the job.

jjfozz

Zymm, that’s a good point.

I emailed the person I interviewed with to thank them and ask for feedback on my interviewing skills.

Crickets….

That tells me alot.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Mix them all together in a peanut butter jar. That’s how I did it in my teen years from my parents’ bar and not have it noticed.

Sorry man. Just keep writing and applying. Also drinking.

I’ve got all three down pat.

Gratliff

Lol of course these mother fuckers were part of that batshit protest at Lansing where they were in the Capitol building while open carrying

jjfozz

Here’s the deal.

It’s treason.

Plain and simple.

Put them up against the wall and fire away.

Gimme an Uzi, I’ll do it myself.

Fucking excrement. .

Viva La Tabula Raza

Maybe we should bring back having criminals drawn and quartered.

jjfozz

I’ll get the horses.

I love my country. Love it. I know it has plenty of blemishes.

But when you do that shit, and advocate violence, you forfeit your rights.

And you should die horribly.

Want to know how Trump’s got a cult? The same guys who SWORE Obama was spying on them online at every turn (correctly) and knows the system is in their business — if even passively— at every turn. Now, cuz Trump gives them the occasional empty nod, they went and TRUSTED THE GOVERNMENT NOT TO SPY ON THEM WHILE THEY SEMI-PUBLICLY PLANNED TO ATTACK THE GOVERNMENT.

These are the real victims of institutional white privilege.

Doktor Zymm

One of my friends dated a really emotionally unstable dude for a while, and the first indication we had that he wasn’t quite right was when he cried at a crab feast because he was having trouble disassembling his crabs and didn’t want to ask us to show him how to do it again (it was his first time eating whole crabs, and it does take a while to get the hang of it, but who goes off and cries instead of just asking for help?!)

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Dude

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Gratliff

Emotionally unstable people who didn’t get the support they needed when they were younger, struggle in every day situations, and face a constantly building anxiety due to a society unkind and judgemental to people in that situation.

Doktor Zymm

My friend went and comforted him and once we knew what was up we were happy to help him out, but it was definitely unexpected. They eventually broke up after he started frequently punching holes in walls.

Gratliff

Worked with alot of people like that when I was in retail and lumber. You can tell they just never really had a chance, especially older ones who didn’t really have the available support even if the parents weren’t garbage. My brother is a lot like that, though less ragey, and still struggles incredibly with it in his 20s but that’s the trash parents thing again.

Doktor Zymm

That’s a bummer. This guy’s parents seemed okay but no way to really know. I think this was his first time living away from home though, it was grad school but I think he went to undergrad locally and lived at home rather than a dorm.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

I always wondered what happened to those excess crabmen…

blaxabbath

How many crabs is normal? I’ve only had like the big legs and I don’t think that’s what you’re saying.

Doktor Zymm

These are L Male Blue Crabs, 6-10 per person is a good rule of thumb

Doktor Zymm

Unless you’re serving other food too, then more like 3-6

blaxabbath

Like other entrees? Or just sides?

Doktor Zymm

Just sides, or a lot of filling beer, crabs are one of the few times where a really cold lite beer is appropriate.

Doktor Zymm

That might be where I went wrong actually, I don’t have any shitty beer in the fridge so I’m pairing with an IPA. Tasty, but filling.

blaxabbath

Hmmm — when things go back to normal….

BrettFavresColonoscopy

If you’ve never been to a restaurant where they pour out a bucket of crabs onto a table and expect you to bust them open yourself and douse them in old bay… congratulations you’re not a marylander

blaxabbath

I bet I can find a place in a casino that mimics this…

Doktor Zymm

There are a lot of places that do seafood boils, but that’s more of a Louisiana thing although similar.

Theory: it’s the Bears’ uniform that turns QBs into shit. Like that black thing that ate Dumbledore’s hand.

Could be. My theory is that being bathed in the mild disdain that all Bears fans have for any offensive player that isn’t a RB eats away at them subconsciously

released in 1979, zombi 2 (“Zombie” in north America)was billed as the sequel to “dawn of the dead” (despite having no affiliation and none of the crew) zombi is the gory italian answer to what a zombie movie should be

Just got a very lucky win. Scored a few minutes in when the opposing keeper’s punt was blocked by my striker. Held on to the lead thanks to a missed penalty kick. Added another in second half injury time.

Now I know what it’s like to face the Chicago Bears.
