Your “I Hope You Like Fireworks” Thursday Night Football Open Thread

I just jinxed it, didn’t I? You can blame me after the game when you look at Hopkins’ 3 catches, 45 yards stat line. The game does look promising and there a number of quality tilts on offer this weekend. (unlike the first two “Point and Laugh” games featured on Thanksgiving)

Newsy Notes:

-The Giants have an new offensive line coach! They’d been slowly improving and a New York-centric podcast had noted that Judge had been spending quite a bit of time with the unit. He’d also gone ahead and hired a consultant by name of Dave DeGlugielmo to help Marc Colombo along. I guess when the latter heard the news there was a ‘wordy kerfuffle’ and someone lost their job. I think it has been very well established that questioning Judge’s judgement is verboten these days so, so long.

Bruce Arians, when questioned about our fave nutball wr said to the  reporters gathered, “He’s a model citizen-everyone here has gotten angry at some time. If you haven’t, I invite you to cast the first bike.”

-The Raiders now have 11 players on their Covid list. Wasn’t The Grinder fined some shekels a while ago for not following protocols? Weird how these things happen.

TO THE GAME!

Cards/Seahawks:

-Carson is out but Hyde be in. Perhaps some semblance of a running game might halt Seattle’s “lost 3 of the last 4” slide.

-The twice-baked failure pie that is the Seahawks D didn’t have a sack or even a hit on Murray the last time they interacted. They give up around 57.1 fantasy points each week to opposing wr’s, a number that is 11 points more than the next-worst team. So… “Play ‘Em All!”

-Much like some of the models Unsurprised likes to post, this NFC West division is very top-heavy. The Rams D and offensive line has really gelled the last few weeks and the Cards still have to play them twice. If Seattle wins this one they get a Fluffer’s Row of Philly, both NY teams and Team and they should be looking pretty.

-Are you kinda disappointed in Drake/Edmonds production? Well, Arizonny has 15 TD’s on the ground so far and the Kyler kid has 10 of them. Ball hogger. Can’t do that in baseball, buddy.

-Reminder, last time around Lockett went bananas-200 yds and 3 TD’s. DK was not OK because PP shadowed him and he ended up with 23 yards gained.

-Is Wilson forcing it too much? The most interceptions he’s had in a year was 11 and he’s at 10 already.

Type as though you’re staving off boredom.

/Hey, there’s a Tulane/Tulsa game on at 7:30 if you can’t wait for footed ball

Are you sure? He went from winning the Super Bowl to watching the other team march down the field and kill his dream right before his eyes. People have turned into supervillains over less.

That was Ditka’s fault. He still has a SB ring.

Not even a little. First ballot.

Recovery Whiskey

Nah. First ballot.

Arizona isn’t the mark of the damned like other franchises. Besides, you can’t argue with the stats.

litre_cola

I have been seeing things such as Charcuterie houses instead of gingerbread houses. I am all for the cured meats, however you probably can’t leave the meat house out like you can the gingerbread.

Sharkbait

That just seems like a waste of perfectly good cured meats

The Cardinals are proving that my NCAA Football 2005 Create-a-Team‘s uniform of black jersey with purple numbers outlined by white could work in real life.

Now why do you have to go insulting shit like that?

His soul is starting to reject his body.

He was just trying to convince a Federal Judge in PA to override the PA election results and have Trump declared winner there. I thought it was hislast bit of shame escaping.

If that doesn’t bring Moose back to argue with you, I guess nothing will.

We argued over Sherman tanks. I miss Moose.

He had a gif for every occasion. You could say he was gif(t) ed. Maybe someone could email him and tell him we miss him?

That would be my responsibility. I shall work with the high command here to try to make that happen.

As a form of protest with our missing comrade, I’m going to have ice cream and cookies non-stop until he returns!

I made it. No work until Nov 30.

Well, i still have to term a salesperson tomorrow, he quit on his own. I’ll also need to book a contractor should Sierra Vista deal happens + some idiot decided to switch us from Webex to Zoom this weekend. 1 tiny issue, DoD doesn’t support Zoom.

Am being being asked to get creative by IT. FUCK THEM. Fix my shit keyboard bitch! Am not blinking they’ll need to wait until Zoom is approved by DoD.

Well, go tell IT maybe disrupting communication during the busiest 2 weeks in Q4 is the bad idea.

Evening lizard people. Rough day in the Weaselo household as we lost our 15 year old kitty. We found her in our window well abandoned by her mother at only a few days old and took her in, a few days after a Saab ran through our front yard fence (it stopped right at the stoop). Cali was, and is, and always will be, my little flufftail.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Sorry to hear. Man, I hate that part of pet ownership.

Sorry to hear that.

Sorry about your furry buddy. You gave the little one a nice long life and she’ll forever be grateful.

Fun facts
-Survived outside in one of the biggest snowstorms in NYC history because she didn’t bother coming in after doing whatever outside. Came back two days later basically pissed off that nobody had fed her.
One of her pseudoyms was DJ Fancy Feast, and even last night refused her broth style food because it was that plebian gruel Friskies.

I’m so sorry. I keep telling my 12 year old Henry that he has to stay a kitten forever, because I CANNOT DEAL WITH ANOTHER LOSS!
