Your Thursday Night Football Open Thread

I apologize for the tardiness of this post but a tortuous hiking trail waits for No Man! And I am No Man! hmm that sounded better in my head I should grab one of them thar GoPros and show you what I do. But then I thought, ‘meh, the vast majority of commenters already have vids of sweaty old men grunting and breathing hard’.

-Our Sunday morning tilt say it with me Hippo, Which Is Completely Mandatory will not be featuring both Cal Ridley and Russell Gage. Fantasy owners everywhere yell, “throw it to Pitts (the Younger) please”. Meanwhile, Corduroy Patterson laughs in vulture.

-Baker ‘not TD maker’ Mayfield has a torn labrum and Browns fans nod their head, thinking that’s the reason he’s been tending to suck this year. Oh, but it’s his non-throwing shoulder though. Fans will have to go back to the drawing board.

-Do I have to mention the NBA? Fine. Some retired fellas tried to gouge the “Health Fund” with false receipts and whatever. I laughed reading the espn article because after naming the major characters involved there was this sentence. “Among those who were charged (names some random ex-players) were the only ones that averaged double figures in their career.” So congrats, dude that only averaged 9.4 points per game in your career, you didn’t get outed in an article regarding the fraud you committed.

To The Game!

Rams/Seahawks:

-Russ Wilson is 9-1 on Thursday nights as opposed to Josh Gordon who is 420 on all days ending with “Y”.

-I’m liking the look of the Rams this year but Fatt’s stellar play (last week excluded) has obscured the fact that L.A.’s D has lost Brandon Staley, three starters and has played Brady, Kyler and Wilson in successive weeks.

-If Kupp gets cb Udo Amadi defending him in the slot it’s all over. And Cooper The Catcher is getting thrown at on 33% of his routes, while Udo has a PFF coverage rating of 38.6. Yes, it’s just a number but it’s a bad number.

-Speaking of wr’s, will we see a bomb to DeSean? His steadily increasing usage rate suggests that we will. His aDOT is whopping 19.9 yards.

-This Just In: Christopher Carson will not risk his neck tonight so start your Alex “Shoulda Been Tom” Collins.

Type away. You know you need to.

One of the great healers.

This is a quote from Coach Pete after the game. His beliefs are questionable on every level.

Hey, is Beatie Mixon going to play this weekend? I don’t want to Google it.

SonOfSpam

Still a mystery.

Redshirt

Uncertain. He didn’t practice today. Look like a ankle sprain or maybe a high ankle sprain.

Samaje Perine and Chris Evans (not the actor) are the backups. Not great but good enough for GB to not tee off on Joe Burrow every play.

If you have Burrow, Chase, Higgins or Boyd, consider starting them because they may go a bit more West Coast Offense to make up for the running game.

Oh yeah, Higgins is fo sho in the lineup. Have to choose between beatup Beatie or Devin Singletary (or the dessicated remains of Peyton Barber).

Brocky

That’s game

That was a game.

Someone won, someone lost. Really had everything I look for in a game.

What do you have against the Irish?

Anthony In TX

Is “Mc” his middle name?

I love how Geno Smith is trying to draw the defense offsides, like that extra five yards will make all the difference.

Another lighthearted and carefree kick.

Big Gay kick!

Seattle’s Neon Green things are nicely set off by the Rams “Forgot To Do Laundry” whites.

Yowza!

Geno Smith is still in the league?!

CORRECTION:

Why is Geno Smith still in the league?!

Dunstan

It’s true what they say. When you’re a Jet, you’re a Jet for life.

Edit: Yeah, ok, not really his fault. But then, being let down by your teammates is part of being a Jet, too.

A-Rod, Big Papi, and Frank Thomas as the post-game announcers. Two guys who made their careers off of shady supplements and a guy who’s making his current career off of shady supplements.

Mr. Ayo

GENO TIME!

King Hippo

you were rite

Mr. Ayo

Technically correct?

Horatio Cornblower

I may have to root for a National League team in the WS this year. Can’t root for the Red Sox, won’t root for any team LaRussa coaches, (and won’t have to soon anyway, since the White Sox are a total fraud), the Astros are cheating garbage, and the Rays play in a concrete dungeon in front of 12 people during the regular season.

Senor Weaselo

Whoa, what do you have against concrete dungeons, comparing the Trop to them?

ballsofsteelandfury

I didn’t realize Seattle’s defense was in Russell’s finger…

SonOfSpam

“Russell’s Finger” is Ciara’s new perfume.

This referee in the Mexico Canada game is completely incompetent.

King Hippo

Or receptive to cartel “encouragement?”

ballsofsteelandfury

Honestly, just plain incompetent. He has had bad calls against both teams.

litre_cola

We need to hang on for this draw big time.

He has been awful.

Dunstan

Pete Carroll doesn’t feel too confident with Geno Smith in the game, but he’s consoling himself that at least they’re not playing Pittsburgh. He knows a Jet can’t bring down Steelers.

Gumbygirl

Oooh, look at Rikki’s Big Ole Banner. Girthy!

Horatio Cornblower

Little wordy, but it got there.

Brick Meathook

RAMMIT!

I guess VAR really doesn’t exist in Concacaf.

How the fuck that was not a penalty is beyond me.

Horatio Cornblower

“Hi, we’re Concacaf! Apparently we haven’t met!”

Mr. Ayo

I miss having DK on my fantasy team. Lockett just isn’t the same, man.

Horatio Cornblower

He can’t carry the tune to ‘Holiday in Cambodia’ for shit.

Being on the Jets really gives a guy the motivation to prove to the world that he doesn’t actually suck

TheRevanchist

My question is if The Jets cause the sucking, or are they just that bad at drafting.

Doktor Zymm

I’m going with ‘yes’

Brocky

I completely forgot about geno smith and assumed you were entirely talking about sam darnold

rockingdog

Shit dicks
Russel Wilson got injured
That’s not Rocking.
Glad I have Ryan tannihill on my bench.

Yoooo
Dude just stole home.
Yea Red Sox are dead 💀

Mr. Ayo

That was awesome.

Horatio Cornblower

It wasn’t even close. I think he started his slide before the pitcher threw the ball.

Hoping for a safety here

That thing was creepy.

Anthony In TX

Yep. And massively popular. Quizno’s still somehow lost to Subway, whose bread is about 30% pure plastic.

ArmedandHammered

From what I remember, the franchisee had to buy ingredients from the franchise, the franchise raised the prices of ingredients and would not let the franchisee raise their prices at the counter.

Ahh, the classic Cluster of Fucks* business strategy.

*Mrs. In TX prefers “cluster of fucks” instead of “clusterfuck,” and I am all the way on board with it.
