Your “It’s Nice To See New Faces!” Thursday Night Football Open Thread

Kinda feels like things are coming apart at the seams, huh? WILL THE CENTER HOLD? Was there even a center in the first place?

Newsy Notes:

-Center of attention-grabber J.J. Watt has announced that if the Texans go into rebuild mode he doesn’t want to be around for it. Now that he’s injury-plagued and being paid too much, you wonder what team would give up serious assets for him.

-Ben DiNucci’s time in the sun has come to an end. This week’s starter will be either Cooper Rush (or is it Rush Cooper?) or Garrett Gilbert. I didn’t even bother to look up the backgrounds on these sacks of meat that will soon be fed to the Steelers D-line.

-The Bears and Texans facilities have been shut down as Covid flexes its pipes. Oh, there’s more on the way…

TO THE GAME!

Packers/Niners:

-I really don’t know how Rodgers has done it with the likes of Equa.. St. Brown, MVS and Tonyan catching his balls. Maybe Lazard is back next week but he’s just another guy, just slightly better than the others.

-The Packers backfield of Dexter Williams and Tyler Ervin has seen all of 15 NFL carries. Aaron Jones is a “go” but the coaching staff would be nuts to use him on more than a handful of plays. I think the over/under on Rodgers passes is 50. I kid but the Niners stop the run very well, having given up the least amount of points to rb’s.

-The Niners wr spots are an equal mess. Trent Taylor, Richie Jones (maybe), Kevin White and River Cracraft may all see action. So it’s all aboard [ruffles through non-existent notes] The JaMycal Hasty Train! He’ll likely do well given that Green Bay has given up the most points to rbs this year. (and remember Mostert’s gaudy 220 yard effort in the NFC Championship?

-This looks like a sloppy game. Who will emerge from the muck?

Have at it.

Up late (or early for you East Coasters) and Biden is now ahead in Georgia — Hippo’s bet is looking better all the time and that is perfectly cromulent

I do not understand why you all care about this stupid election.

Mr. Ayo

I would very much like to not hear about the antics of Trump for the next 4 years.

Unsurprised

That’s what I figure.

It’s also the saddest possible reason.

Mr. Ayo

What’s the happiest reason then?

Who’s in charge doesn’t affect me.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Georgia vote differential down to 1,709

Doktor Zymm

You always should exercise your demons. An out of shape demon is a horrible thing to behold.

Sharkbait

I dont think I’ve ever seen a demon depicted as out of shape. They usually are pretty ripped.

Doktor Zymm

That’s due to excellent demon-keeping

Senor Weaselo

No-Face after gorging itself? Eh, but No-Face isn’t a demon, it’s a spirit.

Papa Nurgle is disappointed. It is his year after all

That covers the over at 48.5

Horatio Cornblower

Poor North Carolina; fucking up their counts just as long as everyone else and getting absolutely no attention.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

U*NC education doesn’t include counting.

Vladimir Putin plans on stepping down next year due to health reason. Speculation in Russia is that Putin may have Parkinson’s.

Sharkbait

Well that’s a shakeup at the highest level.

TheRevanchist

Just imagine the Putin handy.

Unsurprised

Boo this man

Recovery Whiskey

There goes Trump’s money

Horatio Cornblower

That’s a shame

Doktor Zymm

The twist, he’s got Parkinson’s Synod, not Parkinson’s Syndrome.

Conversely, we have overthrown governments for less cheating and fuckery.

Doktor Zymm

I’ve finished counting and eating all the Reese’s peanut butter cups I bought at a discount on election day, so everyone else should follow my lead and finish counting and eating all the votes

Nevada: /goes home early to mow the cactus

litre_cola

Mowing cactus.

“What is going down after neither of you have shaved for 4 days Alex?

Senor Weaselo

Did chocolate or peanut butter win?

I REALLY don’t need Aaron Rodgers in commercials during football games with Aaron Rodgers.

Recovery Whiskey

Like every Brady game for 10 years

Redshirt

Yeah, they’re back to drinking the Kool-Aid.

Horatio Cornblower

While the wait is killing me, I’ve found that thing that convinces me the most that Biden is going to pull this out is the GOP establishment leaving the Trumps out to dry. Those rats don’t leave a ship until the water’s pouring in.

I’m switching over to Fox News to see how they are handling this. Standby for an exorcism in case I get brainwashed.

Horatio Cornblower

They’ve been fact-checking the shit out of Trump all night.

Of course Hannity’s on now, so that’s a totally different, and totally bat-shit, kind of thing.

I said exorcism, not sexorcism!

Wait, are we talking incubus or succubus here?

Get?

GOP: “YOU ALRIGHT! WE LEARNED IT FROM WATCHING YOU!!!”

Horatio Cornblower

The Cowboys line is +16.5, or at least was when I was on ESPN doing my picks.

That seems awfully, awfully low.

Redshirt

If you know of anyone in Georgia that didn’t vote because “My vote will never matter”, you now have permission to punch them in the throat.

Horatio Cornblower

Has it been called? It Trump +2,500 last time I looked.

Redshirt

Trump +1797 Its a statistical tie at 49.4%.

Senor Weaselo

Right now it’s 1900, and last I checked the only non-99% counties were the Atlanta and Savannah metros.

Horatio Cornblower

That seems promising, pending a recount in a state controlled by the GOP, which I’m sure is nothing to be concerned about.

Redshirt

They may use NBA Jam rules:

“That ballot was recounted while the person was on a x4 circle. It counts quadruple!”

(watching Fifth Element)

How did we let Chris Tucker happen? Who allowed this?

That movie still rocks.

litre_cola

Seconded.

Redshirt

I remember watching the promotions and previews and going “What is this?!”

I was painfully mistaken.

clint greasewood

Nominated for a Razzie the worse new star, lost to Dennis Rodman in Double team.

Unsurprised

Chris Tucker is the best part of that movie. As for how he happened, it is probably related to how he ended up on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet with Bill Clinton.

Recovery Whiskey

Eagerly awaiting Seattle defense’s potential upgrade from “terrible” to “mediocre”

Recovery Whiskey

Idea for TikTok challenge. Do a drinking game tonight during Hannity where the words “lie,” “cheat,” “fraud” and “steal” are the drinking words. If anyone remains conscious after five minutes they win.

Doktor Zymm

That’s like the smurf drinking game where you drink every time they say smurf or smurfy

litre_cola

Did that once. Nightmare results. Was on LSD so I was ok.

Man presenting to the emergency room unconscious…..

Fuck your christmas ads. It’s November fucking 5th!

They want to get that important Guy Fawkes Holiday demographic.

Senor Weaselo

I mean this could be the best Guy Fawkes Day ever… because at this point fuck, burn it all down.

litre_cola

I already hate the argument that this world has been so shit in 2020 let’s brighten it up with more Christmas Cheer. Fuck you.

You guys still have Thursday football day coming too!

Doktor Zymm

Right? We’re supposed to remember to burn Catholics in effigy today, NOTHING ELSE

Unsurprised

The Judiciary and the House are, along with the Executive all too soon, led by rich out of touch and extremely conservative Roman Catholics. So let’s not pretend this isn’t going to happen for real.

Will be putting up some of the lights on the weekend as its going to be nice out and I need to be on the roof. Did it in a blizzard one year and will never do that again.

The current plan is that they are not on until after Remeberence day. Ha

Senor Weaselo

Under 2K difference in Georgia, and it looks like the counties not at 99% reporting are the Atlanta and Savannah areas.

litre_cola

Well, I never.
