Look, it was about time they got a break and besides, as a literary genre it is a bit self-limiting, don’t cha think? Also, it’s Thanksgiving and we are supposed to think about the less fortunate. Or was that Arbour Day? I get things mixed up here and there. Fear not, we’ll have some ‘psychopath on hobo action’ soon enough but for now we’ll have to content ourselves with the last game of the night on offer.
TO THE GAME!
Vikes/Seahawks:
-Give Brian Shottenheimer some credit for adjusting the Seahawks offensive identity. That ‘we will run you into the ground’ mentality was wearing a bit thin and became increasingly easy to game plan for. (it also made my ‘no-brainer’ Chris Carson pick-you know he’s going to get all kinds of touches if he’s healthy-look a bit sillier than I’d thought).
-Yeah, the team that ran the 9th-most run plays last year has now dropped all the way to 22nd.
-Vastly under-appreciated qb Wilson took the task to heart and has responded with a performance through the first quarter of the season that not many saw coming. Will he cook for Zeke? The question remains unanswered.
-Speaking of qb’s, what’s up with Kirkie? His PFF passing grade thru the first three quarters of each game is 66.5 but then he revs it up to 87.1 in the fourth. It’s attributed to the team having to play catchup but there’s something else going on as well.
-That thing is that he leads the league in average depth of target at 12.1, meaning he makes his longer strikes count but they come in the last 12 minutes of the game. Maybe do something earlier, guy who draws up the plays?
Do what you do best, just try to not get it on your monitor.
Mini-soda going into the half with quite the lead over Sea-cattle
WTF? Just noticed that they have a dragonfruit cut in half in that bud lite commercial fridge. Not half a dragonfruit, a whole dragonfruit that has been cut in half with neither half touched or consumed. Dragonfruit ain’t cheap people! Do you peel your banana and then leave it in the fridge for a day or two before eating? NO BECAUSE WE AREN’T MONSTERS
and to imagine A DRAGON HAD 2 DIE FOR SUCH WASTE
Is there some Game of Thrones crossover here?
I think there’s been a breakthrough because dragonfruit is being added to a bunch of consumer shit right now.
Maybe having fans in the stadium really does make a difference
3rd and 24? NFL BLITZ!
Oh look, Polamalu is still making that sweet shampoo endorsement money
mah wyyyyfe was mad that he was having to share it with Mahomes who shes feels isnt in the same hair class

Is a good Minny gameplan. But Holy Christ, does it make for awful teevee.
Joe Bob Briggs is so far the only television personality I’ve seen with the correct take on election interference in America: Yes, the Russians will meddle in ours, just like we do to literally every other country.
Ignore Saudi, Israel, China, Turkey …
Death Cab bumper music. Feels right.
The Hox defense is going to be tired after this 99 yard TD drive.
Pretty much. Adams out ended any hope of being tough to move the ball on.
He is a dick confirmed many times over
These sorts of really nasty fractures remind me of where horse racing ended up. Very glad we don’t euthanize football players on the field, although I think that the training staff on most NFL teams is significantly less competent than most large animal vets
Explains the football team staffing from the Alpo Institute
They should bring the tent out onto the field like they do on horses being euthanized

Didn’t think elway ever played for the chargers
I haven’t seen anything as nauseating as the Seahawks uniforms since…well, actually, about two hours ago, when Dak went down.
Don’t think I can deal with any non-Tirico “TAEKS” from the NBC folk tonight.
DAK! has a broken ankle, and is undergoing surgery.
THE OL’ DOUBLE J is doing ALL THE COKE, and killing A LOT OF HOOKERS tonight.
His Karma will come from signing Red Rocket to a long-term deal.
Karma doesn’t exist, and is a fucking joke whenever billionaires are involved.
Yeah, just looking at that injury you knew at least one surgery was gonna happen. Hope he pulls through; Dak seems like a genuinely decent guy and he got hosed just before being able to really cash in.
I have a soft spot for him due to his openness on mental health. I hope he goes somewhere else as JJ is a fucking scumbag.
I don’t think there was much of a chance he came back anyway. His team seemed pretty ripped at Dallas. Unfortunately, going back for whatever low-ball offer that shitbird Jones offers him may be his best option now. I really hope I’m wrong.
Yeah, that was brave. When I saw him in tears on the cart, all I could imagine was that Bayless motherfucker chortling through his nose.
I hope he chokes to death
He kept a lot of people hanging with that answer.

I hope he has a cameo in Balls’s and tWBS’s visit to the suicide forest

What to watch tonight. Went with From Beyond last night. I could watch the Devil’s Rejects sequel that absolutely didn’t need to be made.
Yeah need some palate cleansing after the Dak injury try texas chainsaw massacre
Went with my go-to for horror background noise: Joe Bob Briggs and his porn star co-host who can’t be more than 15% organic material at this point
Yeah I’ve gone through all their shudder marathons. Looking for to upcoming one. Shudders a good cheap sub to have
$5/mo and they’ve got a legit library now. Not like it used to be when it was like 9 different Phantasm movies and a couple of grainy Korean films.
Love the korean movies. One cut of the dead one of my most favorite recent movies. Even before I saw it again on one of the marathons
There’s a sequel to Train to Busan out now, but it doesn’t appear to exist in any legit form in America yet. I’ll give it a month and then I’ll go find it in less legit forms.
Just don’t pick Misery
Someone needs to tell Kubiak and that other guy in the booth that wearing the mask over your mouth and not over your nose is like putting a condom over your nutsack and not your weapon when you screw.
Chin diapers
Catch the drool, but nothing else.
I counted that at about a 25-30% clip on sideline/owner’s seating shots today. Dumb motherfuckers.
Hopefully, they’ll get sick and die.
Pete carroll loading his team with as many people with Q in their name as possible. No longer a conspiracy when it’s in the open
They aren’t Anon though, what’s up with that?
Fuck this. I’m walking down the block for some treats and to be outside for once this weekend.
Rain reference. Drink
Hawks going with the lime green highlighter shirts, which might make Minnesota go blind by halftime.
Trafoya’s one section down from our normal seats. Hope she’s enjoying the view.
Mine are section 306. Where are yours?

Ooo we get a wal-mart cam. Seems like a waste unless they point it at the parking lot.
I have as much desire to watch ass-eating in the parking lot as I do to watching Dak’s injury.
He turned into Balls so quickly none of us really noticed.
Spicy pork tamales and a bottle of Pinot Noir
Did you throw the beets in the trash, where they belong?
How in the fuck do the Niners get negative defensive fantasy points?!
Because you touch yourself at night.
It was hot outside and I had a bowl of jello

Normally we get Canadian commercials with the football. Apparently on this feed we are in Bahstan and every fucking ad is about the election, and proposition this and that. How do you folk deal with this every damn commercial break???
Not live in a swing state. Minimal politics on TV.
By becoming nihilistic and not voting
Mute button.
So you miss the crappie tire commercials?
I think that dude is better than political misinformation. At first I thought Prop 2 was a good thing, now I am not sure. There also is a job creator in New Hampshire that is very forward.
Go take a piss, grab something out of the fridge, tidy up the dirty glasses from the spot where I read and drink in the other room, etc, etc, etc
See my previous comment about recording the games and fast forwarding through the commercials.
Shit, my team is playing right now and I won’t even start the game for another 45 minutes. I hope this explains my lack of viability during the live open threads.
Don’t need that shit either.
His 18 year old son’s suicide in 2005 was a great thing for him – freed him of those annoying parental obligations and let him focus on the SB in 2006.
And since suicides go to hell (obvs), no need for any pesky funeral!
This drug commercial with the acoustic version of Apache is really surreal to me for some reason. Some serious Late Stage Capitalism vibes.
Was so hungover this morning from drinking with the inlaws and BC Dick that I made myself vomit. I vowed to not have anything tonight…….then was offered some good red wine. I lie to myself regularly.

Love those weekends where I drink too much Friday alone and unexpectedly get invited out to binge drink on Saturday with friends
I have been drinking solid since the relatives showed up at 11:00. Beer, cider & scotch have been in the offing.
By sheer luck, I have always been forewarned, have been able to avert my eyes, and thus far have never witnessed Theisman’s LT injury.
I was making a drink when Dak was hurt, did not see it, and I hope to be able to avert my eyes from his injury for the rest of my life. I hate seeing stuff like that.
I saw the Theismann injury live. Luckily, it wasn’t in HD so it was a little hard to make out exactly what happened.
I saw it on MNF, and it was pretty fuckin’ obvious. Had a 90-degree bend in his lower leg. IIRC, they showed it on replay again, once, and warned everyone first.
I saw it live, and shrieked. Was LT’s immediate, panicked reaction that really hammered it home.
I was driving a cab the night Theisman got broke and listening to the game. Just hearing the announcers told me I didn’t need to see it. I’m with you and don’t understand the ghoul mentality.
I was in college and slinging pie at Domino’s during that game, listening to it on the radio, and remember that exact moment.
There was a lineman in some random SB that broke his leg. They must have shown the replay a zillion times that night. Yuck.
Not even going to try to find any info on it.
Tim Krumrie, CIN. I think I heard that on the radio. The John Candy SB?.
* Confirmed. Hail Google.
Apart from the commercials this is another reason to record the game and watch in arrears. Don’t need that shit.
Wasn’t quite a full Theismann but it was pretty bad.
Nawt gonna watch the pre-game. Gonna go to the kitchen and make my snacks compete for the privilege of being consumed.
Let’s never speak of the NFC East ever again.
Had to be an open fracture if they’re doing surgery tonight.
Hasn’t been this scandalous to show an ankle since the 18th century
If it bleeds, it leads. Fuck everything.
Its the maple syrup, it makes us crazzzzzzzzzzzy
Been up since 3:30am EST. Why? I’ve no clue. Nighters.
The worst Bloody Mary of my life? White Plains, New York.
Well the bar I managed was where in the 60’s they invented the Caesar and clamato juice, so you definitely would not like that!
Why are so many of you Canadian?
We were born here. Duh.
/was bartender in Calgary
/knows how to make a drink though
My old man claims that he just shows the vermouth bottle to the gin. In other words, he drinks straight gin over ice, with a habanero-infused olive. At 84, he’s probably drank enough gin to float an aircraft carrier.
It’s cold an we have nothing else to do but kill hoboes, smoke weed, contribute to DFO and look aghast at your president!
