Your Monday Night Football Open Thread

Yesterday was a hoot, wasn’t it? The Sunday Nighter was a keeper and it seems like there’s so much happening it’s hard to keep up. I’ll try.

Fallout:

-Players that have fallen include Dalton and N’Keal Harry (concussed), Dede Westbrook and OBJ (torn ACL’s) and Drake has a slight ligament tear in his ankle.

-Ben DiNucci looks like the starter next week on the road in Philly. It does a heart good to see the Cowboys struggling this hard but I’m rooting for this kid. As a 7th rounder he’s been put on blast long before he’s ready (one assumes) and I hope he surprises. I mean, with two successful throws he piled up more yards on O than Sam Darnold did in the second half yesterday.

-I read the stat-4 yards the entire second half, and had to check it myself. Jeebuz. I noted that I think Dimes isn’t going to progress in his current environment and I don’t think Sam has a chance either. Let’s just scoot ahead to next year-he’ll be under a new head coach, a new coordinator and starting from scratch again. His career is being set up to fail.

-Not so with lover of the long ball Justin Herbert-your very latest QB1 in fantasy. Tyrod, we hardly knew ya. Suffice to say, I think the Chargers coaching staff didn’t know what they had on their hands.

-Baker Mayfield did himself a huge favor by having a huge game and thereby fends off the local media, otherwise known as the Cleveland Wolves.

TO THE GAME!

Bears/Rams:

I didn’t see the Bears going 5-1 but in my defense I wasn’t paying them any attention whatsoever. Are the squonkiest one loss team around? Surely they are. That D can’t carry sub-sub par quarterbacking all season long, can they? Seems like fans are walking on eggshells hoping he catches fire again at some point. I spoke up above about qb’s in bad environments and Goff is my best example of a fella that thrives when there’s a slight improvement in o-line play. Credit to McVay and Co. for not jumping the gun and dissembling the line or buying something shiny on the free agent market. They just TRUSTED THE PROCESS.

Have at it.

Going to have the best 3-4 start to fantasy after this game, fu Drake the time Of Edmunds has come… After the bye week

Duchess

Funny listening to Griese talk noise about the Bears and QB play when he couldn’t play QB for any of the teams he played for.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I’d like to see Charlie “Clipboard Jesus” Whitehurst in the booth doing color. But from what I understand, he had a good agent and made more money than any other perpetual backup during his career, so he probably doesn’t need the money.

So I finished one of my Queen Majesty bottles and am basically done with my Torchbearer Zombie Apocalypse. So I can totally order Last Dab Apollo right?

It’s an interesting thing that the memories that make it hard to look at are the same that give it any worth at all. Otherwise, it’s just an organized array of wood, metal, and plastic. An unintended consequence of being part of a family with multi-generational poverty/dysfunction/insanity/terrible decision making was never having to spend very long in a house that belonged to dead loved ones, or dead unloved ones if we’re being honest. It wasn’t until my father-in-law passed and I saw the way none of them could look at any one spot for very long that I realized what a blessing that was. I don’t know how much it played into the way I go into a peaceful state when I think back on the people I’ve lost, but I know I fully intend on leaving behind a loving home for the people I leave behind to be comforted and haunted by in equal parts.

Canada Dry Bold Ginger Ale because “Vernor’s” was already taken

It’s better than their regular ginger ale, but Senorita Weaselo has gotten into ginger ale and beer.

There’s a company called Buffalo Rock in Birmingham that has been making a really fierce ginger ale since the civil war. Vernor’s is good, but BR is spicier.

jjfozz

This guy and I were born on the same day, same year. I consider him my brother. He knows me better than anyone. I have been blackout drunk with him more times that I dare to remember. The very best.

I didn’t know that kids could be Jesuits, I thought you could only be a Jesuit once you finished a program at one of their schools. Learn something every day. Off to Wikipedia!

jjfozz

To confirm, he’s being taught by Jesuits. Some Catholics hate them because they’re viewed as “liberal” in their teachings. Those are the Catholics that are fucking paranoid, judgemental fucks who forgot about what CHrist said: Don’t judge, love people.

IIRC, five of those assholes are on the Supreme Court now.

Smythe also
-Was nicknamed, among other things, “Little Dictator”
-Was part of the ownership that renamed the Toronto hockey team to the Leafs, but opposed switching the Canadian flag to the current maple leaf design so much that he wrote to hundreds of members of Parliament and switched political allegiances over it.

herodotus450

I also read that! Built in the middle of the depression in 6 months for $500,000 by offering negotiating a deal with the unions to pay partly in shares. I guess that’s how he got the name Conn.

herodotus450

Meanwhile, on the Conn Smythe wikipedia page…
It turns out he
-Demoted two Leafs players to the minors because they got married without his permission
-Claims the Maple Leafs colors are for the blue sky and white snow of Canada but probably he just liked those colors or had leftover paint from his sand and gravel company with the same color scheme

herodotus450

He was granted a car, driver, and office for life after he was fired quit so probably not.

herodotus450

Seems like he had a feud with just about everyone everywhere he went, I can’t keep em straight after a very cursory reading of wikipedia.

Mayfield will suck again as soon as they play a team with a winning record. My true hope is that he gets traded to the Cowbells, so that young kid they got in the 7th round will start in a few quarters after Mayfield is taken to the sideline after getting his head shoved way up his own ass (even further, I mean).

i’m excited for a Democratic President and Congress to throw their hands up in defeat. “We’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas”

Meanwhile, I would like to completely replace the federal judiciary because it’s a fucking disgrace.

Unsurprised

No one will or could ever even answer a simple “Why do we do this fucking stupid single judge trial court, three-judge appellate court, 5-9 judge supreme court system for review?” Because the only fucking answer is “That’s the way it’s always been” – as in, “since English judges were wiping their asses with those same robes back in the dark ages.”

We use the same worthless fucking law school system that was invented to funnel a Harvard asshole’s favorite students to his friends in Boston’s law firms. Lawyers are fucking idiots. Lazy, incurious to the detriment of humanity, idiots.
