I’m not gonna lie, no matter the announcers of the game between Brady and Rodgers (and really, that’s pretty much everyone that’s playing) the amount of ball-washing that’s going to take place just turns me off. They’re both unlikeable folk and it’s merely a matter of degrees. Aw hell, it’ll probably be on in the background and I’ll probably be right here because I can’t quit you guys.
So I guess while we wait for that to unfold the soccer dudes can fill the void. A very quick peek at the tilts on offer tell me that Cola’s Fulham plays Burnley, that rockingdog’s Chelsea is at Luton and ManU and Liverpool are going to go at it. Perhaps others could tell us what they’re watching on ye olde telly or what’s being read or done. Otherwise… [shoulders slump]
TO THE GAME!
Bucs/Packers:
-A.B is out for this one but perhaps more importantly (for Tampa) Vita Vea is in. Who’s he? He’s a man mountain space-eater guy that plays nose tackle and clogs up the running game. His contribution to stopping the run game is not insignificant and he can also get after the qb. He’s missed the last thirteen games so I’m not sure how many snaps he’ll get.
-Yes, the Packers have played well but they have done so against the league’s easiest schedule. They’ve only beaten three teams that ended the season with a winning record. (I don’t recall them moving to the NFC East though, huh)
-Much has been made of the first game played between these two-the end result being Rodgers’ worst game of the year by far.
-How did the Bucs do it? They blitzed. And blitzed. They went balls-out 21 times and the Packers averaged 1.9 yards per play. Everyone knows what Aaron can do from a clean, unobstructed pocket so the Bucs got it all dirty and such.
Have at it.
haha old ass Rodgers cant run away
I hope Terry Bradshaw get busted in a prostitute sting operation during Super Owl weekend.
I’m sure it’s happened plenty of times before. But let’s hope THIS is the year he actually gets prosecuted.
Or shot and left for ded. You know, potato/potato pronounced wrong
A. A. Ron is in his 16th year?
I am very old.
I’m old enough to remember when you needed a VCR or even magazines to masturbate.
I usually just use my hand.
Almost as many years as spots fallen in the draft.
Ooh, “explicit”!
Fuck Yeah!
Based on the number of fans in attendance, I guess we’ll find out in two weeks if Bud Light & cheese are effective COVID barriers.
It’s a clever ploy by Gov. Evers to kill off some MOAR of the GOP base
Very lively Cup tie at Goodison. FUCK JOE BUCK AND FUCK MRSA DREAMBOAT
oh, fuck’s sake, Lesser BLEERGH takes the soocer point off the board
Who took the OVER?
Mike Evans catching footballs now? Packers in trouble
Dammit!
I got Bucs/Bills in the Supe. WHO YA GOT?
Chiefs/Packers but I wouldn’t mind Bills/Packers
I second this.
#MeToo
Bills/Packers
Rooting for the ‘rona (Rats/Chiefs)
Rams/Jaguars
(I think we could win this one)
Nice to see Joe Buck’s completing his transition into Steve Austin.
Tampa Bay and Tom Brady both share initials with Tuberculosis!
And the hull type for an obsolete class of naval vessels
Also, tepid blowjobs
To be fair, Gisele’s an aggressive pegger.
Next year’s FFL is Gizzy’s Aggressive Peggers
So who are the quarterbacks in this game? I haven’t heard anything about that.
Discount double check and some guy who smells like a goat.
Some old underachieving bloke that refuses to call his momma vs some sort of football Methuselah on his like … second team
“Since the start of the Super Bowl era, these two quarterbacks are the two best ever at ghosting family members.”
Shoutout to Bridget Moynihan for NOT making it s stretch.
I’m choosing to skip kickoff for a little sunshine, so tell these guys not to do anything too exciting until the second half.
Just find an online radio that does play by play that doesn’t make you want to dropkick a woodchipper and still get that sunshine?
I’m going to shovel snow off my deck as soon as they start to piss me off. I should put my boots on now.
Litre got me thinking-
Who was that guy that turned your moribund team’s fortunes around? Just got it finally, FINALLY! going in the right direction?
I’ll do Daniel Alfredsson-he was a stupid 5th rounder that started running the power play in his 3rd exhibition game. No one at the game knew who he was, he wasn’t mentioned in the game program.*
*I may have dated myself. meh…
People shit on him, but the Steelers were nothing before Chuck Noll put Terry Bradshaw at QB. Yes, defense built that team, but Bradshaw scored points to win games they otherwise wouldn’t.
Yes. I chose Bettis because there was a long ugly dry spell after the 70’s era,but the Steelers entire history before Bradshaw was…unfortunate.
Plus, he can spell “cat” & Hollywood Henderson can’t spell “rehab”.
For hockey, Mario Lemieux. Football, Jerome Bettis.
How about Warren Sapp? He single handedly turned the Bucs laughing stock defense into a feared unit that eventually guided the team to a Superb Owl.
Barry Bonds. We didn’t win a big one with him, but you knew he would do something special when he came to the plate.
Yes, he was awesome in the 2002 World Series and they almost won but they lost game 7 and I was there and it was grand haha fuck you Barry.
Tim Duncan. Spurs have been around .500 most of their existence just never elite. Duncan made the Spurs an elite team for 22 years.
Earvin “Magic” Johnson
Jonathan Quick
One got the shots without any aid, and, hmm
Mark Messier to NYR.
Denis Potvin for the NYI. When a crosstown rival has an extra special chant for you whenever you touch the puck, you are doing OK.
Because fuck CBS, I’ve been spending the last hour or so trying to make my ancient Miracast device work so I can watch the late game on my projector.
Piggybacking off bk109’s dock question, how many HAVE a dick but don’t USE it?
Guilty as charged.
See Morari Patch video below
So, I saw the video. Is that just for added stimulation or does it help keep the pecker up?
Let’s setup a gofundme for a review.
How fucking expensive is it??
no price yet. But if you give my your number and duct tape your phone to your taint. i can text you a bunch of times.
premature ejection
Erin Andrews lives on a golf course in Palm Springs???
Did you get a good look at her doors and windows?
There was a really nice fake fireplace. Looked oblong, tho…
Am going for the Bucs. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Cant stand Rodgers and whole magically Lambeau field BS the lazy writers push ever playoff game. Fuck that and fuck Greenbay.
Then root for CoronaChan to cancel the game “due to an overabundance of caution”
It’s a dilemma. I hate Rodgers with every fiber of my being, but I hate Brady even more. How about this, Bucs win, but Brady has a gruesome, possibly fatal career ending injury?
Uhhh, can a mod/admin delete my article rating vote (misclicked on it while changing a battery), because the goddamn thing doesn’t allow me to do it myself?!
We can’t either. Don’t worry. You live across the pond from Northern Ontario. There’s no trains for hobos to hop onto.
It’s the principle of the thing – the article deserves its original rating, so bringing it down even by accident feels as wrong as leaving a small tip 🙁
“Small tip? Brother, you’re singing to the choir!”
-Jenn Sterger and Deanna Favre
You can make it up in the next article even if he mails it in and there’s no hobo murder story.
That One Special Co-Worker-
I had one that called in sick because she had a nightmare.
… having a bad dream… is a reason to call in sick and not a fireable offence? Welp, you learn something every day
Gumby had a guy call in and say he couldn’t come to work because his chicken’s feet were frozen to his driveway.
I have one that calls me on Sunday nights asking if we’re open tomorrow.
She wanted you to come over and lay in your arms.
Good day, colleagues. ‘Tis a fine day to watch four exceptional quartered backs duel for the opportunity to participate in the season finale. For the first contest, I predict that the Green Bay Supply Chain Workers will prevail over those seafaring ruffians from Tampa Bay. It is only right that upstanding members of organized society prevail over scallywags.
Huzzah!
You had me at ruffians and then you went full scallywags…
/Wow!
Hell yeah! Now bring it home, Toffees.
Unrelated – as I keep noticing that I’ve got a bit of a …blind spot for mass market computing, may I ask you lads and lasses a quick Q – how many of you have (not use, HAVE) a dock and/or a 3/4/CoronaChanG modem on yer laptops?
I have a dock at home for my work laptop. Had to expense for a expensive one that does
That’s odd, nowadays as long as a machine has USB 3.1 (3.0 is doable, but can get saturated) or Thunderbolt, it can use an universal dock (which is something quite amusingly not mentioned in the Dell, HP or Lenovo brochures 😀 )
Work issue docks dont provide enough power to 4k monitors.
Yeah, that was definitely an issue in some of the early ones, but that got fixed relatively quickly (also why I said 3.0 was doable and not good :D) – well that, or we’ve got a better budget (and more understanding oversight) to work with to procure stuff with an extended service life
we got old shit. for 99% of the office no issue. I have new shit I am the 1%!
lol – it’s the reverse for us – since we actually like repairable and maintainable machines, we’ve got some laptops going as far back as the Sandy Bridge days for general office work, because the keyboard is a joy to code on, unlike the current 0-travel abortions that people try to convince themselves are actually good 😀
Now, for more intentsive tasks we do use way more up to date gear (including VR/AR glasses, which got approved suspiciously quick, when we said that some units would be distributed “at random” to asses their general utility (I personally use mine to use to have essentially a sphere of monitors to keep an eye out on things to supplement my current (well, then current, most of us are work from home/tankbarn atm) 6 monitor setup 😀
BRUUUUUNOOOOOO

Conversation my buddies and I are having is.
Regardless of era, if you were starting a team which player would you take in their prime?
So far we have
Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, Jerry Rice, Mike Singleterry and it is ongoing.
Thoughts?
Jerry Rice played in the West Coast offense. All his passes were basically handoffs and he never went over the middle. Cowboys and Giants showed what a wimp he was, one smack and he quit. Replace him with Calvin Johnson or Randy Moss.
he never went over the middle
Are you as drunk as I am? He made a living doing crossing routes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ot7aWqlRMYE&ab_channel=droneqb
That’s what I remember, too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AX4nOwHyi4A
His career also started 10+ years before Randy’s. A WR going over the middle meant something different back then.
/Lawrence Taylor and Deacon Jones have entered the chat
Larry Allen, clone him 4 times and Bruce Matthews can play center
This hurts really bad-Brady has to be the qb. Fucker…
Dick Bukis.
We’re taking them in their prime, but will they have the same length of career that they had historically?
Punter goes to Ray Guy.
Walter Payton, only because it hurts too much to say Tom Brady.
I’ll take Ronnie Lott and Ed Reed as safetys. Maybe Jack Tatum if you want to send a message that crossing route will not be tolerated.
Anthony Muñoz?
Nate Newton. Great blocking and an alternate source of income for the franchise!
Joe fucking Green.
Lawrence Taylor. He was the highest on the list of great defensive players. Honourable mention to OJ Simpson. He murdered opposing defenses.
A slashing runner, that OJ.

Noticing a trend on the morning News programs. Nothing about what illegal or unethical actions the current did this week, just conversations on what actions the current President needs to do to improve things.
It’s crazy, right? So soothing.
“Nothing to see here.”
-Leslie Neilson, political reporter, representing all the major networks
Ironically, doing basically that line (on a loop) is what got Erik Nielsen (his brother) sacked in ’86 from Mulroney’s cabinet
Decided to make the full package of bacon today. I stand by my choice.
Weight loss program will resume tomorrow,. Tomorrow is1st day back at work in more then a month, I had holiday vacation and then Covid. I’m looking forward to it, getting some routine in my life.
Yeah, this weekend has been a bit cheat-ish for me, too. Not completely off the diet wagon, but leaning over the side to enjoy the breeze on my face.
Morning Folks.
Good morning! I just slept 11 hrs and 46 minutes and could go back for more. How are the rest of y’all?
Well, wifey is raiding my desktop for parts, my kiddos are giving themselves PTSD by flying over Stalingrad in a WW2 VR combat flight sim and 2 of my dogs are howling atop a WW2-vintage tank destroyer
So, ’bout average here 😀 Glad to hear that someone not only can but does in fact enjoy more than a couple hours’ sleep a week (I’m averaging about 12 a week these days)
Now BUF/KC and TB/GB can’t arrive at the city until two days before the Super Bowl. This is gonna be a shitty title game.
Going shopping for ingredients for chili. This is the biggest adventure I’ve had in weeks.
Don’t forget your MOPP and your clubcards, those points don’t collect themselves y’know 😀
Dunstan, we hardly knew you. Could you, maybe, you know, give me one of your credit card numbers? Just in case you never come back.*
*I checked the stats and the odds are pretty slim of you returning. You’re welcome.
Watching “The Comeback” on yubtub and I’m reminded of a very great commenter on the Deadspin before it all went to pieces. “Mark Kelso’s Migraine” was a cool dude.
I was a Kid Hustle fan. Kareem Cheese, too.
Same Sad Echo was a good one. Eddie Murray Sparkles was cool.
My personal favoUrite, other than Otto of course, (pours out a 40) (onto a sheet of politically oriented graphs), was Future Mrs. Rick Ankiel.
Just shooting her shot with every comment.
When I personally depose Trump and his minions of Spider People in World War IV, I’m going to mandate that all NFL teams must play in natural grass and they cannot cover their fields in tarps.
If our brave troops can handle fighting in muddy and snowy grass while retaking Palm Beach in the Third Battle of Mar-a-Lago, so can the NFL players.
What in the hell happened to Le’Veon Bell? Did he get the injury bug or was it all the Steelers O-line?
he has a shit ton of miles on him and is likely cooked
Also, the Jets were a thing
Steelers O-line.
A.A. Ron is a semi-recluse who hates most of his family, loves athletic brunettes. What exactly is not to like??
/join Hippo on ESPN+ for Everton FA Cup MAGICK! at 3p EST, I was already boycotting the MRSA Dreamboat fluffery
Members are quitting ‘sad’ Mar-a-Lago after Trump loses – CNN
I never thought there was a schadenfreude sweeter than Steelers, Patriots and Michigan, but here we are.
Why couldn’t they have caught covid and died?
porque no los dos amirite??
Time to depreciate the property and sell it for a “loss”
I should’ve won that lottery. I would’ve turned it into the Donald J. Trump Memorial Central American Refugee Shelter and Food Bank.
… people are fleeing basically warzones (and countries with literal century+ of US-induced political instability and economic woes) … and you’d resettle them in fucking FLORIDA?!
Now, the Donald J Trump Hazardous Waste Disposal and Jet Ski Rental … that I’d get behind
Section 8 housing, you know for all the poors.
How about a new federal penitentiary … y’know, to hold the influx of new inmates from a certain …”administration” that we’re all hopin’ for 😉
So sad. I picture it all ending like this, but instead of “Rosebud” Trump will say “Ivanka” as he drops the snow globe.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4mQqVqRB7I
BS. He’ll say his own name. Its the only thing he really loves.
Personally I don’t care what his last words are, just so long as they’re recorded for history soon.
First two legs of my four-team footy parlay look to be home. Now comes the tricky bit; ManUre over Liverpool and Everton over Sheffield Wed.
Hey litre, it would appear Brentford is free and clear of a W. Can I send you some complimentary whiteout?
You’re back in the good books. I seriously am glad Fulham lost today. Less games going forward.
y’all should embrace your Whiteness and go hipster. An FA Cup run is just TOO MAINSTREAM
Hey guys. Bet my 401K on Conor McGregor lost night, but then ESPN+ had streaming problems.
Anyone wanna tell me what happened and just how rich I am right now?
Welcome to your own potato famine!
Everything’s comin’ up Horatio!
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EseXOQ1VcAA9PsL?format=jpg&name=small
Also there’s a museum about the potato famine down in Hamden, CT, with a very good reputation. And I never intend to go there, because short of the actual Holocaust I’m not sure I can think of a more depressing subject for a museum.
“Face The Nation”, “Meet The Press”-these Sunday morning news programs are deliberately antagonizing the introvert demographic out there.
“Evade Attention”, “Ignore Other People”, “Sulk in the Corner by Yourself and Don’t Look Up from Your Phone”. These are the Sunday shows the silent majority is craving.
“I Going To Have To Cancel, Something Came Up” would be a winner, winner, home delivery chicken dinner.
For the silent majority (and this is for both parties), I think the shows they want are “Smugly Superior”, “Let Me Explain Why We’re Right” and “Saving the Nation”.
Go Brentford!
Scotchy you were one of the good ones until that comment.
I love rockingdogs and underdogs, that’s just me.
/kill me last?
It will take me awhile to get through the list and Northern Ont is way outta the way.
I don’t know of a better story to write than an ordinary dude that goes on a road trip to murder his enemies while eating weird foreign snacks along the way.
I was somewhere around Moose Jaw when the Krowka Fudge from Poland began to take hold…
Which former Cowboys quarterback will cause me to mute the teevee more today, Aikman or Romo?
Fuck, I never realized that was what was happening again. I would rather hear coked up Scott Hanson on redzone.
Aikman. At least Romo knows what he’s talking about and genuinely seems to be enjoying the game.
Everyone Loves a Romo

It would really start my day properly of Luton Town beat Chelsea. Luton Airport does not have any chairs without arms. If you plan to sleep at the airport you are floor bound should you wish to stretch out.
What really matters is that EGGW’s got a tonne of easily accessble wall sockets for weary travellers, so a 13 hour Starcraft sesh while waiting for your connecting flight (gawd, how I do NOT miss flying student class) is still fun’n’feasible 😀
Agreed. Outlets and chairs with no arms are #1. Bars being open past 10 pm are a help too (lookin at you Denver)
Another thing that helps is .. well, if you’re travelling with enough people to look up VLJ/LJ hires – with all the baggage and other surcharges it may be cheaper than low-cost (per passenger) and unlike Ryanair and Easyjet, you don’t start to sympathize with that Germanwings pilot midway through a flight XD
Alternatively: Overwork yourself enough that one of the over-bosses takes pity on you and donates you (as a tax writeoff) his old Citation (to help you work yerself even harder ofc) – then you get to fly yer arse around whenever you feel like it (within reason / 3000 miles … whichever comes first)
