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.

If that ball had been five yards further it would have been over his head, you moron!

Gratliff

Oo, do we get Goff derp and McVay face? That would be a welcome change of pace

Doktor Zymm

The Bears haven’t had a decent offense since the rest of the league discovered bear spraycomment image

Axe body spray will drive them away too

Axe body spray: when you are so sexy but need to be even more sexy for all the ladies.

My opponent has the Bears D

Yet Yahoo says I have a 99% chance of winning. Total BS.

Bear Party! comment image

Viva La Tabula Raza

Why the Bears gotta celebrate like they just won the game?

Gratliff

lol nobody gave a shit about his celebration

blaxabbath

Not a good sign for CHI that RAMMIT is literally celebrating conceding three.

Gatoraids

Bears o really tripping over their own dicks tonight

ballsofsteelandfury

Well, when they’re as big as Nick’s, that’s understandable.

It’s a Happy Brocky Halloween!

Seriously, thank you!

Brocky

it’s a coping mechanism at this point

Duchess

Fun Fact: Jimmy Graham once played professional football

blaxabbath

That’s for a paycheck.

I wonder which sport is his true passion….

Dunstan

I know you’re all tense about the Saskatchewan election results tonight. Don’t worry, I won’t spoil it.

Spur

Woodchuck beats Moose in a stunner.

Senor Weaselo

Moose attacks are ultimately what sunk it.

Gumbygirl

Gumby and I dropped our ballots off today in the drop box at the library. Voting feels good.

blaxabbath

Rams unis have proven pretty solid.

Their logo is an absolute disaster.

It’s growing on me, for some reason.

You know what this game calls for? The Poochie episode of The Simpsons.

Brocky

I have legit never wanted to fight a coach before tonight, but nagy is making me want to throw hands

BrettFavresColonoscopy

When he’s really far away, he’ll probably just run

Spur

Did i just hear the announcer say university of Vagina?

ballsofsteelandfury

I WISH I went to the University of Vagina!!

ballsofsteelandfury

I applied and got into Cal Poly Pomona for engineering school. It’s one of the best. Then I got into UCLA and that was that.

I still remember the cow smell…

ballsofsteelandfury

Ha ha ha!

Viva La Tabula Raza

I had to settle for matriculating at Grundle Community College.

Dunstan

I applied to the University of Vagina, but the Registrar kept transferring me to nearby Clittoris College.

Spur

Oral Roberts credits didnt carry over?

Dunstan

Oral Roberts had a, uh, “different” curriculum. Let’s just say they didn’t cover the same area as U. Va-CC

Dunstan

Well, I did not see a University of Regina reference coming

Spur

The Tongan family down the street is having their yearly BBQ on Saturday. No invite this year but they just came by to say they’ll drop us off a few plate – Covid and all. I got to make sure to tell the Samoans. These guys love to 1 up each other.

Also, if Haku is representative of Tongan fighting prowess, I’d avoid any direct confrontation

Some might find the devotion the Bears, who are averaging -2 yards a rush, have to the run this game endearing.

King Hippo

they TOTES won’t be expecting it!

Ron Howard voice – They were definitely expecting it.

King Hippo

Pyhrric replay win? THAT’S SO BEARISTOCRATS!

Gratliff

the 4th down pitch should be outlawed

herodotus450

But what if there are runners in the crease?

Spur

Its a bear necessity

Wakezilla

If movie comedies showed bewbs like the 80s and 90s, she would absolutely be perfect for random hot chick who has her shirt hilariously ripped off to show off her magnificent knockers.

No, i need the Bears to score to keep the RAMMMIIITT offense fully operational

Gratliff

holy shit that catch

Duchess

85% the fact those gloves when new and lightly wet are like glue

Dunstan

Good lord, that Bears QB statistic makes me feel better about the post-Marino Dolphins

King Hippo

Also demonstrated the maxim “You always think you can do better than Catler, then see what happens when a C-minus GM tries.”

Duchess

Oh I have always known that Cutler has been the best option available for the Bears.

Henne beat the jets. And the gawd Chad Pennington vs the Virgin Cleo Lemon

Senor Weaselo

Apparently Steve Cohen buying the Dirt Jets is on hold because he employed a felon in his hedge fund and Citi Field is on city property. This sounds like bullshit but, if this fell through, it would be supremely Metsy.

Duchess

“We like our felons not to be caught”

Wall Street

Brick Meathook

Getting caught = stupid

Gratliff

I see we’ve reached the end of the competitive Bears illusion

Doktor Zymm

It lasted longer than I expected

Duchess

That IS what she said!

Viva La Tabula Raza

Ol’ Nick done stepped on that big dick.

Wakezilla

Is it just me, or is this game pretty boring?

Duchess

Is there a game going on? Has anyone told Chicago?

Viva La Tabula Raza

Rams fans might be enjoying it, but I agree.

King Hippo

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!! competence is that way. When they are a shitshow, much more entertaining.

Duchess

“Lily” working back at ATT on the floor is such a 2020 thing she probably worked her ass off got a better job but Covid happened and she was laid off leaving her with only one last ditch effort to come climbing back to ATT. Sure she now has the experience to be a manager there… but sexism and covid is keeping here back at that entry level position.

jjfozz

well maybe if she published some topless photos, people would notice

jjfozz

So th eAT&T gal got a haircut.

I am diamond hard.

Shannon Elizabeth?

thanks for the intro to month of macabre

jack frost (1997 horror film) is most notable for its release only a few months before the 1998 michael Keaton film, other than that it features a killer snowman raping poor shannon

If you send me a Xmas card, fuck you.

If you send me a Xmas card with your family dressed in matching outfits, you are dead by New Year’s Eve.

If you send me an Xmas card and you guys are dressed like Santa, I will skin your family alive, tan their hides, and wear them at my Fourth of July Party.

The War on Christmas: First Blood

Senor Weaselo

Hot take: There is a war on Christmas, but it’s a defensive war. Thanksgiving has been steadily losing ground, and if it gets to Halloween, it’s all over.

Doktor Zymm

Dude, it’s already taken Halloween, I’ve gotten multiple Black Friday sale emails already and I swear I heard carols at the supermarket the other day

Duchess

If it comes for Columbus Day we go to the mattresses!

Game Time Decision

Have got the matching outfit card along with a generic “this is what we did this year” letter. Lol

Spur

Love the recap letter. Funny how the Mormon neighbors left out Chad coming out of the closet

Doktor Zymm

Mormons can pull off the trick of simultaneously being genuinely nice and super judgmental way better than evangelicals

Viva La Tabula Raza

In my 61 years, I’ve never sent a single Xmas card. I’m really weak on birthday cards too, probably been a couple decades on that.

Gratliff

I did it for the first 2 years of my kid’s life with baby pictures, figured they got the idea, and never bought another card.

Ok, I chose to do yoga during the first half, here now

might want to go back to it

Gumbygirl

Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

Spur

Remember people Friday is basically end of month. Turn in your receipts w/correct coding, any timesheet fixes and for sales – NO sandbagging!

Spur wants to get drunk early on Friday.

What should the angle be on the staple on my TPS report?

Spur

another Dinosaur. Scan your reports to TPS mailbox!

Where is that mailbox* located? I can drop it off on my way home

*Have had this type of conversation as an IT type

The angle of the dangle is inversely proportional to the heat of the meat, provided that the maxis of the asses, and the gravity of the cavity, remain constant.

Hard seltzer drinks are the wine coolers of the 2020’s.

People who drink them should be dragged behind wild boars.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’m not sure I can agree with that. Wine coolers actually had some flavor to them. I don’t know why anybody would drink hard seltzer.

Duchess
WCS

Because it’s in the fridge, and there’s nothing else to drink.

jjfozz

If I wanted a buzz that bad, I’d lick the freon tube on my HVAC unit

WCS

Chugging Listerine is probably better, and cheaper.

Duchess

Listerine…the dip for alcoholics

Viva La Tabula Raza

My parents bought a ranch west of San Antonio in 1999. It was still a dry county at the time. Apparently the previous owner was a total alcoholic; in the pumphouse by the cistern we found a pile of a couple hundred empty bottles of Walmart brand mouthwash.

jjfozz

At least you die with a mouth free of bacteria

Sharkbait

What if I make my own because I’m out of tonic water?

Doktor Zymm

I think of them more like Zima

Duchess

do you… d you put jolly ranchers into them too?

Viva La Tabula Raza

People who drink them should be dragged behind eaten alive by wild boars.

Uhh you spelled “Steely Dan” wrong.

agreed. discovered this movie on accident through comcast on demand.
