Your “The Postponement Has Been Postponed” Monday Night Football Open Thread

Well, you’ve probably heard by now that Tuesday Night Football has morphed into (first ever?) Wednesday Night Football. All it took was a bunch of plucky Ravens team members/staff testing positive for eight days in a row. What kind of hellfire will The Commish unleash on this team after the whole thing blows over? He seems like a petty sorta guy that doesn’t like or want change of any kind. Maybe a fine that would cover any number of costs incurred by moving the game? A draft pick or two? If it is the latter he should bring Thor’s hammer down soon to serve as a lesson (in his mind) to the rest of the teams that perhaps have some dumbass jarhead in their weight room spouting batshit conspiracy nonsense. (some of these folks aren’t well edjumicated) Why yes, I do like to paint with a broad brush.

Fallout:

-How does this affect fantasy leagues? Will the points still count towards your week 12 totals?

-I find it funny that as I type this NFL.com doesn’t have the news up yet. Somebody’s asleep at the monitor!

-Much is being made of poor quarterback play yesterday (the Hill/Hinton combo especially) but there was a shit ton of lousy coaching as well. For my own cheering purposes, the Giants play on extra special teams almost blew the game if not for a desperate tackle on a punt with less than 5 minutes left. As Hippo has noted, dumbasses taking no risks whatsoever in order to get the W seems to be achingly commonplace now.

-The Niners have finished Raising Arizona as a possible place to play. It’s now a go.

-Thanks to some very grateful Lions fans, The Deshaun Watson Foundation has had its coffers added to. A heartwarming gesture, to be sure.

TO THE GAME!

Seahawks/Eagles:

-Both the Cards and Rams pulled out their stumblebum routines yesterday, giving Wilson and Co. an opportunity to tighten things up in the NFC West this evening.

-Maybe we see some Jalen Hurts tonight? The clamor to have him in there keeps rising and rising. “Why is that?”, you ask.

-There’s this boob that goes by the name of Carson Wentz and it sure does look like his time is drawing near. He leads the league in intercepts, (14) fumbles on sacks (7) and dropped intercepts (10). You know what that is, right? That’s when a defender is so astonished at a pass headed his way he muffs it. Either that or a guy playing in the secondary is there for a reason-he’s got the Stone Paws. [pours acid on open wound] Oh, almost forgot, his uncatchable pass rate is 25%.(!) One of every four, folks.

-He might still be passable [snorts] in this game because Oof!, every team that has played Seattle has gone for 300 passing yards, 2 TD’s or both.

-Injury-wise, Ertz has the hook and Chris Carson and his hard-running style is back in after four weeks.

-The Eagles have gotten stingy with wr’s recently and haven’t allowed a TD to that position since week 7. I’ll bet both Lockett and Metcalf break that streak tonight.

What say you about all these shenanigans? Type away my friends.

If Wednesday’s game is postponed again, i win. If not, i need Wentz and DK to score some more tonight.

Fronkenshteen

So we have a 3:30 Wed. afternoon game, no Thursday night game, and a triple header on Monday?

Recovery Whiskey

12:30 PT. Like NFL in London

Gumbygirl

Gumby has a doctor’s appointment at noon on Wednesday in Loma Linda. We’re going to miss the whole fucking game, assuming there is one.

Viva La Tabula Raza

We did a field trip to Loma Linda Med College or whatever the fuck it’s called, back about 1975 or so. They had this museum room full of freaky fetuses and such. Hydrocephalics, anencephalics, Siamese twins, you name it. Creeped me the fuck out. I wonder if they still have that room. All the displays were obscured until they raised a venetian blind in front of each one. Seventh Day Adventists, what will you?

Gumbygirl

Yeah, they’re weird as fuck but the docs there are the best around.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I actually was accepted at their university/medical school out of Redlands High but decided that medicine was not how I wanted to spend my life. Too much gross stuff to look at.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Evening.

Recovery Whiskey

We finally got a guy to rinse out the bad mouth Walsh.

Fronkenshteen

Who in the philly secondary is making Lockett invisible tonight?

litre_cola

Maddox I think as Slay is on Metcalf.

Recovery Whiskey

Theres the DK fumble

Viva La Tabula Raza

So, is this drama with the BAL-PIT game merely the first domino of the ultimate cancellation of the season due to hurrying back to work too soon? I hope not, but I am not optimistic.

Recovery Whiskey

If they have to they’ll just call off a couple weeks then go playoff bubble(s). Way too much TV money on the table to close down the year

Sharkbait

I heard the Ravens were threatening to not play. Is that true?

Fronkenshteen

I read they were prepared to strike for the right to at least one physical practice before playing a game.

Viva La Tabula Raza

You’d think it would be the Steelers not wanting to play the Baltimore Typhoid Marys.

Recovery Whiskey

And?

Fronkenshteen

If they don’t have the playoffs in a bubble situation, they’re nuts.

Doktor Zymm

They’re only now considering a playoff bubble. They’re idiots.

Sharkbait

It’s not like the other major sports went with that approach successfully already.

If “I shouldn’t have eaten all that cheese” isn’t on my tombstone, then I’ll know I had no true friends in life.

litre_cola

Deep ball coming to Metcalf. Book it.

Recovery Whiskey

We’ll pound the rock first. Or try to

Unsurprised

I wish Viva’s civil war came to pass.

Viva La Tabula Raza

2020 is not over yet.

Sharkbait

We closed on our condo today and I’m already coming up with ideas for running cable through the walls to underutilized rooms.

Plus I need a spot for my server

Unsurprised

That reminds me. I need to look into the fastest possible connection before the end of the year so I can write it off.

Oh, right. I’m too poor to get deductions thanks to the Republicans.

Sharkbait

Telecom in this country is a fucking joke

Unsurprised

No kidding.

Gumbygirl

Griese borrowed that fugly jacket from his dad.

King Hippo

These Goeddert points do help.

Recovery Whiskey

Theres the Region of Room.

WCS

Barry > Myles Sanders

Recovery Whiskey

Jeffery v Flowers should be used on every play. Flowers is bad

Viva La Tabula Raza

These ESPN graphics effects make me feel 20 years younger.

Doktor Zymm

They’re programmed in LOGO

A course they use a break in play to show the Chiefs and Bucs highlights.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I’m kind of pulling for Iggles here, in thanks for the big va fanculo of votes they gave the Orangeman (that didn’t go to Syracuse) during this last election.

Plus if they win they’re back in first!

Viva La Tabula Raza

I neglected to mention that! Which also puts DAL in last place in the NFCE.

Unsurprised

These are all good things

LemonJello

Welp, I guess we’ll do this all again on *checks sundial* Wednesday?

Later,Taters!

Ya know. I grew up on Sportscenter and Primetime; everyone did. Really trying to remember the last time Berman sounded good. Its been years for me. Maybe decades.

Fronkenshteen

Yeah. This is sad.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Those shows used to be as cool as the other side of the pillow.

clint greasewood

Back when the League was ruled by Favre, Elway, Young, Marino, and Kelly.

Unsurprised

Joe Montana would not tolerate this slight, but he’s already gone upstairs for the night to masturbate.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Neil O’Donnell led the 1995 Pittsburgh Steelers to Super Bowl XXX.
And let’s not ignore the magnificent leadership of Stan Humphries.

Congrats on the nut, blind squirrel!

Guess I will watch the 2nd half.

Gumbygirl

Lookee there, a touchdown!

Unsurprised

Touch … down?

Gumbygirl

If you don’t cut that out, you will end up with hairy palms in hell!

Viva La Tabula Raza

That’s an old wives tale. At 61, my palms are still hairless, despite…

Doktor Zymm

I always wondered where that idea came from. Does anyone ever have hair on their palms?

Viva La Tabula Raza

Even lower primates don’t have hair on their palms, and if my visits to the zoo throughout my life are any indication, those guys are worse than 13-year-old human males about that activity.

Unsurprised

Every lawyer here is looking down nervously.

Gumbygirl

Are you calling Sister Virginia a LIAR! She will bust a metal ruler over your knuckles and make you say fifty Hail Mary’s on your knees in the basement of the convent.

Recovery Whiskey

Good drive. Helped by the non call on grounding but Hox have had plenty of chances to get stops

BrettFavresColonoscopy

So i should hold on to Jalen Hurts?

Recovery Whiskey

Grounding.

Doktor Zymm

How the hell did Philly manage to win 3.5 games?

clint greasewood

NFC East and crippled 49ers.

King Hippo

Griese wants to have Dakota Jeebus’ babies

Senor Weaselo

So is this game anything close to good?

Sharkbait

Not unless you’re praying at the altar of GAMBLOR tonight.

Doktor Zymm

How much do you enjoy seeing dudes pile on Wentz?

Recovery Whiskey

Might be my favorite porno. No homo because clothes stay on.

Recovery Whiskey

Liking it so far. Spoiler: Hox fan

Viva La Tabula Raza

So, is that lady Baker Mayfield’s wife IRL, or just some actress?

Recovery Whiskey

If noted authority ‘the knot news’ is to believed

LemonJello

She must have pissed off the make up artist on those commercials. She looks a lot better in this photo.

King Hippo

She’s not doing the “ultra wide open eyes thing” that insurance (and most other) ad makers think is totes awesome.

Viva La Tabula Raza

She’ll probably end up, at some point, as the right wing blonde replacement for the Hasselbeck woman or Meghan McCain on The View.

Fronkenshteen

are those map coordinates tattooed on her arm?

Viva La Tabula Raza

Highlander/Connor McLeod-like immortal who accidentally got caught up in the whole Dachau thing?

Senor Weaselo

Takes a new meaning to “There can be only one.”

Viva La Tabula Raza

Of course, it may be a UPC code-bar, so maybe “There can be only ones and zeroes.”

Doktor Zymm

Who has the ‘game over’ notebook? Best get writing in it

Recovery Whiskey

Chris effing Carson. Sucks he can’t stay healthy

Recovery Whiskey

Threw it away too well

LemonJello

The charm was slung, indeed.

litre_cola

Penalties are not helping here.

clint greasewood

So the O/U was 49.5 and Seattle -6.5

LemonJello

+1 Vegemite sandwich

Viva La Tabula Raza

I tried that stuff when I was on liberty in Perth back in 1984. Shit was fucking awful.

litre_cola

It is absolutely the worst. Aussies say it is an acquired taste. Fuck acquiring that one.

Sharkbait

Vegemite is god awful.

Viva La Tabula Raza

It made that Colin Hay singer dude from Men at Work get Marty Feldman Eye.

Fronkenshteen

Wonder what the 2nd half line will be, given Philly’s inability to offense whatsoever?

ETA: it’s 3.5. Holy shit that seems low.

ESPN really stirring the shit to set up their talking heads HAWT TAEKS with the consent zoom-ins of Hurts, the GM and Owner and now a graphic with Wentz’s salary.

last funny:

Republican senators who used to say they hadn’t seen Trump’s tweet that was read aloud 17 times on CNN every hour are suddenly going to be intimately familiar with years-old tweets from Biden nominees.

Unsurprised

And if they had any balls they’d tell those Senators to go fuck themselves.

Recovery Whiskey

Metcalf hasn’t had his weekly fumble yet.

I would much rather keep seeing Wentz in there
