Good afternoon, all! Today we have an extra bonus game thanks to the Ravens’ strength and conditioning coach being a complete moron. Actually, that’s not really fair. I read somewhere that they found 4 different strains of COVID in the Baltimore Ravens franchise.
So, it wasn’t only the strength and conditioning coach.
Today we have the Washington Football Team of the incredibly shitty NFC East facing the Pittsburgh Steelers who are, so I hear, undefeated this season.
Admiral Akbar, anyone?
The Seahawks certainly know what I’m talking about. I am still smiling about Los Gigantes going into Seattle and shutting down the Seahawks’ offense. I’m not a Giants fan, of course, but I love love love dominant defenses giving their teams an opportunity to win.
On the bright side, the game is at Heinz Field, so the chance of a career-ending knee injury to a player on either team is minimized.
Speaking of knee injuries, the Steelers will be without Bud Dupree, who tore an ACL on that same Heinz Field last week against the Ravens. It doesn’t look like anyone on the Steelers caught the COVID from the Ravens, so that’s good news. Ben was gimpy and did not practice all week, so it will be interesting to see if Washington can put pressure on him and sack him repeatedly.
If they do, Washington will certainly have a good chance to win this game.

No wonder you don’t hear about Falcons players getting COVID, they can’t seem to catch anything.

Gotta think Michigan is tanking for Trevor Lawrence.

Washington is gonna have to remove “Football” from their name next.

THIS WASHINGTON TEAM, I CALL THEM FOIA DOCUMENTS BECAUSE THEY WERE AT LEAST MORE INTERESTING WHEN THEY WERE REDACTED!

NFL knows exactly what its doing by telling the Donks tough shit on not having a QB. We’re all going to watch this game now.

Haha, the interesting thing is now every commenter has hobo blood lust and will have to fulfill it on their own.
Mr. Ayo
Eric Ebron drops more passes than anyone I can think of.
Someone referred to him as Droptimus Prime. I think @worldofisaac on the Twitterverse.
It’s kind of a shame Megatron was a great receiver. And is retired. That could’ve led to a fun … Ah, this is boring to me already.
Trying to find stats for 2020 and expect that Evan Engram will be right there…
Hooray one score game! Urge to feel guilty for truancy, fading.
(triggered in Game Seven)
I’ll never understand it. Team has the Pitt D reeling, has the ball at the one and then runs right up-no misdirection-the middle into the teeth of the Steeler D. Jeez!
If you’d ever coached, you’d understand the intricacies of such things
I coached kid’s soccer for 3 years so I feel that I’m more than qualified.
How did you survive?
He coached youth sports for 3 years and kills hobos for fun. That’s not a coincidence.
I didn’t notice it was scotchy
I feel the same way about my 10 years or so coaching Little League.
No one associated with any of my teams feels that way, but I do.
Damn, would have loved to have heard what Sims said that made the defender laugh.
“Trickle down economics works!”
WTF

She’s been committing the egregious sin of publicizing the actual Florida COVID numbers, which naturally makes her a threat to national security or whatnot.
Also, DeSantis is a cunt.
ACAB
What kind of Nazi shit is this? Fucking Florida. I wish there were a way to saw it off from the rest of the country like in that Bugs Bunny cartoon.
That’s super fucked up. I follow a bunch of infosec people on Twitter and they’re all bullshit over this.
found a funny:
When people on dating apps say they love adventure do they mean like discovering a secret door in the forest that leads to another world where they are the chosen one and must fight to protect a half human/half frog species from evil or do they mean like idk skydiving naked
I’ve always assumed it means “I like the idea of you paying for expensive vacations.”
The Virginia Military Institute took down their statue of Stonewall Jackson today, marking the second time Jackson was taken down by southern military.
General Sherman thought too small.
Need a gif of Rivera angrily ripping off his mask only to reveal a second mask.
This is some quality refereeing.
That “Two in the thoughts, one in the prayers” comment deserves to be chiseled onto Mt. Rushmore.
Wife just came home. “Fuck it let’s order pizza and wings. ”
I have been home with an ill toddler all day so this sounds perfect.
Funny. That was what I did when I decided to take the afternoon off.
More credible than the chances of Team’s O scoring a TD
Why isn’t this guy in Trump’s cabinet?
UM WHO ELSE HERE DOES NOT TRUST THE FOOTBALL TEAM’S MEDICAL STAFF WITH ALEX’S SMITH REMAINING GOOD LEG?
I wouldn’t trust them with a reasonably fresh corpse, much less any part of an actual, living person
Redacted medics were pioneers. They were the ones who invented the sideline shed, first seen when they ruined RGIII’s career in that playoff game against the C-Hox
You can stop there. You won.
I feel like there should be a compromise for people who have Red Zone, but not DirecTV where they just cut into Fox’s programming to show the bits that would have been on Red Zone

Come on safety dance

That shot of Ben with his hands sadly 4 inches apart while Villanueva’s celebrating in the background cracked me up.
Well, watching this game, I guess FOX made the right choice. Doubt if I’m going to make it to the half of this shitshow.
I really should live bet McLaurin right now to assure he gets nothing.
“Okay, we only have to go one foot forward, so lets run five yards sideways and two yards backwards.”
Trickery fools no one
“You know, Alex Smith, he knows where the bodies are buried”
WTF?!?
Aka spare parts for later
WFT*
Wounded From Turf?
Lots of people know where the bodies are buried, it’s not like Team’s medical staff was particularly secretive about it
I assume it’s something they made the cheerleaders do in order to get their passports back.
This was back when 45 got the Covids. In my short list of funniest stuff of 2020.

Steelers announcer after Washington does two penalties in a row.
I like the idea of putting would-have-been banner quotes on the Monday game thread, I say we stick with that until the un-borking of the actual banner!
Now to watch this game for an hour before I have to go have a meeting :/ Silly workday nonsense.
Huh, or not. Apparently my FOX affiliate is opting to show TMZ Live instead of football….that seems like a questionable choice
See RTD’s suggested site below. Working for me on DoD pooter.
Banner has been fixed
So it has! Hooray!
Woohoo! Now can somebody fix it so I get the posts in my email again, instead of having to scroll back in my history like a fucking savage?
Steelers radio play by play guy keeps calling them the Washington National Football Team.
hahahaha
I wonder if they’ll end up being named the Reagans, just like what happened with Washington National Airport?
If they’re being named after a President, it needs to be named for one that exemplifies how understanding they were to the feelings of the nation and having a understanding of their position in helping to heal the nation.
Ladies and Gentlemen and Variations Thereupon, your Washington Buchanans!

TD Steelers. Prob insurmountable
“That is Top Shelf Canadian Bacon, my friends!”
My local FOX affiliate is showing the Kelly Clarkson show. I can watch the game on my laptop or my phone on the site RTD mentioned below, but can’t cast to my big screen.
UPDATE: Still don’t have Coronavirus, despite my family’s best efforts to give it to me.
Huzzah!
Excellent
YAY!
You know, I find I like radio announcers a lot. Kevin Harlan does a tremendous job on the Monday Night Football broadcasts and this Steelers crew is pretty good.
It’s too bad it’s almost impossible to do a simulcast with the TV on and the radio sound on.
I used to be able to do it with games broadcasted over-the-air, but ever since games have gone online, the delay is too much.
Streameast.live is getting the job done for me. Lots of ads but once you get to fullscreen it seems to be okay.
I’m listening to the game on Steelers radio and the play by play guy is pretty funny. He already said that the Washington receiver forgot to “squeeze the Charmin”.
Steelers Radio is always the best. That’s why I’m not offended when Myron Cope invented the name “Bungles”. He earned the right.
I should probably go out to the car and listen to it there- I do like the Steelers radio guys.
And Myron Cope was the best!
Gibson out? Sounds about right.
Ya cause I need him to get some points. But with turf toe, so may be out for awhile. That shit hurts
Hey cool at least I’m not starting him in Hippo’s league so that’s just super.
Welcome to the punt
What is this bullshit that the game is not on TV in LA?!?
Which one of you nerds created plasma in your basement? Your kid is on the front page of Reddit now.

What the hell channel is this game on? The internet says Fox, but I’ve checked both the network and Fox Sports and it’s not on either.
Need to be a Direct TV and/or Sunday Ticket subscriber if you’re in California.
Apparently only the “Fuck Off, Plebians” channel
According to Redshirts link, you can only see the game if you were supposed to be able to see it on Sunday.
Did you nor read our whiny yet informative comments below?
Roger Goodell is a National Disgrace
Found it, channel 712 on directv if you have Sunday ticket.
I still get credit for longest Banner tenure, right? Like how Sylvester McCoy and Paul McGann were still considered The Doctor even though the series got cancelled and the FOX TV movie didn’t picked up as a series?
Until the next WordPress update.
Nobody gets that reference, virgin.
NERRRRRDDDDDD!!!!!
Just curious if anyone found the game coverage. I’ve got it on the Sunday Ticket channel but not on either Big Fox or FS1.
Dammit. I don’t have that channel (I have cable Red Zone, and no luck there).
Wow, it doesn’t get ANY national coverage?? I thought was just losing me mind
Because Spectrum sucks donkey dicks. In hell.

My mind immediately went to “Marc Andre Fleury Monday Afternoon Football Open Thread”
Hockey needs to come back ASAP
While looking for the NFL game, I saw that NHL TV is showing the 2002 Canes-Leafs playoff game. I admit I am tempted to watch the Leafs lose again. That shit never gets old.
Aloha.
I have the afternoons off all this week. Time for day drinking.
