Your “And One Game To Rule Them All” Sunday Night Football Open Thread

Well, now that the day’s tilts have a.) made the playoff situation a whole helluva lot clearer or, b.) made the damn playoff situation that much more frickin’ muddier* we can now feast the eyebulbs on an interesting and curious matchup featuring two teams with different approaches to getting the treasured W.

*please pick one-this post was recorded at 10am this morning

TO THE GAME!

Titans/Packers:

-These two teams rank first and third in offensive efficiency but they also have D’s that love to ride the roller coaster. Should be interesting.

-As you might have expected, Aaron Rodgers leads the league in passing yards off play-action. Actually, nope. The Tannyhill possesses that number which is a hefty 1,580.(!) So for sure he leads the league in TD’s off run fakes, right? Again, nope. That belongs to his counterpart Rodgers. He has 18 scores from that play.

-Since 2018 in weeks 14 to 17 Derrick Henry has averaged 6.5 yards per carry. The Packers D ranks 27th in the league at stopping the run, surrendering 4.5 ypc since the start of the season.

-One might think to lay off the Titans wr’s in this spot but Tannyhill has thrown a TD in 11 straight games and has two or more scores in nine of those games.

-Lazard might be your sneaky play in this spot. He finally passed MVS in snap counts and routes run last week, recovering his position in the balls-thrown lineup that he occupied earlier in the season before he got injured. He definitely won’t get the attention that Adams demands.

I’m leaving it all-up to you, down below.

It is raining hard in Los Angeles tonight, and it is beautiful.

Unsurprised

Found a funny.

Also, props to Mr. Daly for getting the pronunciation of every guest’s name correct, and being 100% on board with the female plasterers and bridge designers. I know he had advance notice, but still well done

Doktor Zymm

You could write to Univac. What did people write to what was, at the time, the most advanced and inaccessible computer?

Unsurprised

I would write to the quantum computer at LANL because I don’t have to do anything. An alternate universe version of me wrote to it for me.

Unsurprised

I hate cold. I hate snow. I hate long nights. I hate winter.

Doktor Zymm

Move. Although it may not help as much as you think

Unsurprised

I would if I could.

Doktor Zymm

Also, they just had a Senator as the celebrity mystery guest. He disguised his voice, and they guessed who he was, because celebrities were that familiar with members of government back then.

Doktor Zymm

Wow, I didn’t realize that SMOG was a term in the 50’s and there was already a civil servant tasked with managing it at that time

Gumbygirl

I was a card carrying member of GASP in the late 1960’s. Group against smog and pollution. I remember clearly when the fish were dying in the Great Lakes, and when the Cuyahoga caught on fire in Cleveland. Things are better than they were then, despite efforts to roll back regulations.

Viva La Tabula Raza

The pandemic kind of stole the thunder of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day this past spring. Trump was happy.

Doktor Zymm

This was broadcast in 1955, so while the causes for these environmental effects were certainly going on at the time, not sure if the consequences were well known?

Unsurprised

Internet sleuths have tracked down newspaper articles from the 19th century.

Gumbygirl

They were known, they just figured it was the cost of doing business. We moved out of Pittsburgh to the burbs when I was in 1st grade, partly because my younger brother had asthma from the pollution. My mother, who lived there all of her life, had it too. They knew why people had it, they just hadn’t been forced to come up with any technology to mitigate it yet.

Doktor Zymm

I have relatives in Erie, and they definitely had health effects and knew it was from the mills. I guess my query was more that they didn’t connect it to more long term effects

Unsurprised

It’s someone else’s problem.

Doktor Zymm

I had a really solid, industrial-type pogo stick when I was a kid and it was AMAZING

JerBear50

I was unaware they had industrial purposes. I would like to be in that industry.

Doktor Zymm

it was kind of like this, springs you wouldn’t want to put a finger into type thingcomment image

Sharkbait

I think I got tetanus just by looking at that spring

Unsurprised

Like herpes and Gronk

JerBear50

Oh shit, I guess not.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

We’re watching “Bridgerton”. It’s not as sexy as I was led to believe.

Sharkbait

Mrs Sharkbait watched a bunch last night. It kinda gets there. At least that’s what I saw as I half paid attention to it.

1900 addition or subtraction operations in just one second! Univac!

Gumbygirl

The cool thing about watching old shows like that is that you’re watching them literally from The Future! Those people would be totally gobsmacked by things we take for granted.

Doktor Zymm

Like the meteoric decline in girdle sales!

Viva La Tabula Raza

First calculator I ever saw was in 1970, TX instrument, red diodes, add, subtract, multiply, divide, square and square root was all it would do. $450 in 1970 dollars. 5 years later they were giving them away for free if you opened a savings account at the local bank.

Senor Weaselo

We have drinking chocolate. The bottom of the mug was INTENSE.

Gumbygirl

I had some hot chocolate made with dark Mexican chocolate a few years ago. It was definitely not like Hershey’s!

Unsurprised

Hershey’s isn’t even legally allowed to be called chocolate in the EU. (It’s okay in Britain, though).

JerBear50

If you’re thirsty enough, it’s all drinking chocolate.

Doktor Zymm

I think I’m gonna open another bottle of wine, eat my feta bites, and watch more “What’s My Line?”

Doktor Zymm

Oh, this is good. Mystery celebrity Pearl Bailey.

Doktor Zymm

I wish I knew more about NYC theater in the 50s

Gumbygirl

She was cool.

Sharkbait

I poured more rum, so you’re good

Doktor Zymm

Remember when companies used to be named after what they did? Nabisco = National Biscuit Company

Also, UGH, Salvation Army Captain

yeah right

I may have converted my eldest granddaughter to be thrash metal head and I’ve never felt more proud.

That girl can thump a bass.

Doktor Zymm

Yay for good things 🙂

Gonna win my second consecutive FF title.

Doktor Zymm

Why did I just pop feta cheese/filo appetizer bites in the toaster oven when both the game and my current bottle of wine will be finished before they’re cooked? Poor planning Zymm.

Gumbygirl

I made oven smores because I was too lazy to toast my marshmallows by the fire. Not any difference as far as I could tell, but just as likely to catch on fire.

the Alpha and the Amoeba

Woooooolooollloooooo
Merry Christmas guys, how’s tricks?

litre_cola

Goodness me. How you goin?

the Alpha and the Amoeba

Packers are stomping face and I’m drinking a Tom n Jerry. Couldn’t be better, you?

Brocky

I spent the last hour googling to make a voodoo doll till i realized I don’t own any objects valued by Steffan Diggs

the Alpha and the Amoeba

You could try the old “photo of the target under running water trick”, but that takes time to show results

Brocky

word of mouth is also how guys told each other that the girl from the AT&T commercials got some big ole titties

comment image

Brocky

I’m sorry if this attitude is blatantly sexist, just its distracting

ballsofsteelandfury

Tig ole bitties

JerBear50

Emerson?

Doktor Zymm

Can you seriously not tell just because she has a button-up shirt on?

litre_cola

Yes.

Brocky

i spent over two decades thinking the term approximate meant “exact”

NEVER underestimate my abilify to not notice things

ThePirateSloth

Shut. The. Fuck. Up. Cris.

litre_cola

Zymm, this is my new aftopop tune. Figure u’d like.
https://youtu.be/lG-klvI4yzI

Doktor Zymm

Sweet! I’ve been in kind of a music rut, what with not leaving the immediate locality and all, appreciate new stuff

litre_cola

Work at home now, am all over the place musically for my whole workday. Afropop is so different and so positive.

Doktor Zymm

I should listen to music while working, it would be nice to be distracted by music instead of by the futility of whatever I’m doing

litre_cola

Even when in the office I wore 1 earbud. I loved my 4 office mates but cant deal with clicky clack from folks in both ears. Plus new music! Language never bothered me. If its good its good.

Doktor Zymm

If I’m really listening to music it takes enough of my concentration that I can’t fully focus on work that requires thought, but I don’t really think that’s any of my work right now. Conversely, if the music is crappy enough that I can multitask effectively, it’s not really worth listening to.

Sharkbait

Listen to RPG soundtracks. They legit help when doing menial (work) tasks. The Skyrim soundtrack is a go to for me when I have a bunch of shit to do

Doktor Zymm

This is a solid idea. They’re kinda designed for that aren’t they!

ThePirateSloth

I have a station based on the Westworld soundtrack, that quite often pulls in music from Skyrim, Dragon Age: Inquisition, and another one I can’t remember now. As well as most John Williams movies and some random sci-fi movies. It’s great for background music.

litre_cola

So I find a language I dont understand is easier to work to. I was useless during French alt rock werk as I listened too intently.

WCS

Murdering the clogging family directly above you is justifiable homicide.

The Maestro

As the legendary Michael Caine himself said… “There’s only two kinds of people I can’t stand… those who are intolerant of other people’s cultures… and the Dutch.”

Sharkbait

Slowly and painfully as possible

Senor Weaselo

The Weaselo family favorite is the neighbors fencing

WCS

Wish those two would fatally stab each other at the same time.

BugEyedBoo

Aunts.

Brocky

the “rat problem” commercial is hilarious though.

Unsurprised

I’d rate it as Praiseworthy.

litre_cola

Senor, dm me your address for your prize. Spam, much disappoint.

Senor Weaselo

Sent, check your Slack!

Brocky

Hazaah!

SonOfSpam

I sucked hard like a Ukranian at the end of her visa stay.

Senor Weaselo

Made a hell of a run to take down GTD and Don T though, props.
