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.

Oh! Today is the second anniversary of Epstein not killing himself.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Well at least Fox has got their jam band sound guy working tonight. Just heard Phish’s “Tweezer”.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

And there was an ad for a cryptocurrency service of some kind. This broadcast is getting curiouser and curiouser.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

WOOOOOOOO!

King Hippo

We have a competitive, meaningful game, and of course Troy needs to get his licks in on MRSA Dreamboat’s balls.

Fronkenshteen

Fucking nauseating.

Dunstan

I loved that he said that Tampa got the win, but “more importantly” Brady got a record. Hmmm. Interesting.

King Hippo

Huzzah, comeback Brasil!!

rockingdog

HomeRun Nelson Cruz
Rays up 3-0
Red Sox not looking rocking

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It’s not easy to play baseball in a circus tent if you’re not used to it.

ArmedandHammered

Aw, I wanted to see them do the “interception at the goal line play”

Mr. Ayo

If I was mean I would downvote this.

Instead, I’m just ignoring it.

King Hippo

Coach Carroll makes the same face he does when someone says they believe the 9/11 Commission Report

King Hippo

Toss. That. FISH!

rockingdog

Is that a game show?

King Hippo

We welcome our first contestant, KATE McKIMMON!

Brocky

Part of me wants to print this out and post it on my wall

Mr. Ayo

I’m getting flashbacks to the 6-6 tie between HOX and Qards.

King Hippo

That may have well been the best night of my life.

litre_cola

I was in Thailand!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

“Oh, this matchup has potential…” – me, earlier, stupidly thinking that a Thursday night game could somehow ever be anything other than a horrific waste of time

King Hippo

Has this been a week shitworthy enough FOAR #FourthPill? SURE HAS, Other Hippo!

Anthony In TX

Not sure I’ve ever seen a “throw it away in the back of the endzone oh fuck oh shit it’s a pick” type of interception.

Anthony In TX

All I can think is “why didn’t you throw it into the 40th row, chief?”

That’s rocking! 🎶

Fronkenshteen

Valley Girl soundtrack!

Mr. Ayo

FATTERCEPTION!!!

King Hippo

FATTYception!!

King Hippo

My betting strategy of “I’m bored, fuck it, something will happen” ain’t working so hot.

King Hippo

ooooh, Canadia v Mexico. Litre, are your Black guys playing??

litre_cola

They are.

litre_cola

Our Serb keeper is not, but we have a Frenchie with spirit. His name is Crepeau, what could go wrong? We would happily take a draw.

King Hippo

That’s too close to “Crap” – bad juju

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I HATE it when people opt for dangerous idiocy instead of circling a block

Anthony In TX

Thank you! Just take the next exit, cuss at yourself in the car, and move on with your very-much-still-intact life.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

As a resident of the real-world version of San Andreas, I am amused by their depiction of that highway as “busy”.

Anthony In TX

It’s busy for Ohio

There were functioning vehicles

ArmedandHammered

I have seen that once, except they did not pull over and stop, then back up., oh no, we stop in the leftmost lane and back up along it till we make the exit. On Sunday evening as everyone was coming back from the mountains on i40 in Raleigh.

Dunstan

My eyes right now: “These Seattle uniforms are torturing me!”
My ears right now: “Um.. I’m dealing with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman.”
Eyes: “Ok, you win.”

Anthony In TX

I’m less concerned about my eyes and more concerned about my TV screen. It’s 5 years old! It can’t handle brand new colors!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The Dr. Mrs. has requested that we watch the SAWX instead of The Charmslinger Show.

Mr. Ayo

DK just leveled that DB while making that catch.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I am enjoying hearing Ugly Kid JJFozz’s opinions about Seattle.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I would like all touchdowns scored tonight to be by DK Metcalf or the Rams defense. I will not be taking questions at this time.

litre_cola

Fozz, Seattle is awesome. It is phenomenal.

King Hippo

Oregon >>> Washington

litre_cola

Too many glutenfreeists. I mean both have too many, but Oregano and their dietary needs are ridiculous.

King Hippo

Yeah, but you LIKE PEOPLE. I like “pretty things and silence.”

Mr. Ayo

This is a terrible take and you should be embarrassed of yourself.

litre_cola

Don’t you live there?

Mr. Ayo

I’ve lived in both. Currently in the better one.

King Hippo

Washington state is Oregon’s redneck cousin (at least on the coastal side).

jjfozz

Maybe. i just hate everything tonight

litre_cola

That’s fair. When shitty and rainy there are superb bars for that. Every one is friendly but dreary which is nice. Food is great, beer is superb. Wouldn’t live there due to suicidal tendencies in 250 days of gloom, but a week visit is amazing.

rockingdog

Hoping Russ cooks up 4 TD’s and like 400yrds passing.
That would be Rocking!!!

When a CFL player gets in trouble like that receiver who just got a DUI, the commissioner suspends him for dishonoUring the Canadian Shield.

jjfozz

i hate the space needled and sea-tac

jjfozz

i hate the number 12

jjfozz

i also hate mountains in seattle

rockingdog

Found a funny;

Serial killers have ruined my opinion of people with three names. Sorry Carly Rae Jepsen your music is great but I dont trust you

rockingdog

Red Sox down early
Vibe at the bar is definitely not Rocking
Yikes 😬

King Hippo

suggest that it is NAWT fay-uh?

jjfozz

Please tell every sox fan there to eat shit and die. thanks!

King Hippo

I really want to bet on #BetterGuay.

jjfozz

i hate coffee, grunge, flying fish, pete carroll, flannel, nirvana, rain, lumberjacks, and the seahawks and pete carroll

jjfozz

I fucking hate evertyhing associated with seattle.

Anthony In TX

Changed my profile pic again. This is the original from the gravatar/KSK days. Feels like putting on an old shoe, or hooking up with an old ex.

I also feel quite strongly that there is no way Seattle should be home underdogs in a division game. So go and get all your money and put it on the Rams. Because I stink.

litre_cola

Done.

Rammit, over and Kupp td!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The Dr. Mrs. is currently telling her brother about how their sister-in-law confided to us that she really wants to retire in Scottsdale. They’re right to mock her.

litre_cola

Better than Mesa and all the Canadians.

Anthony In TX

Oh, Seattle is wearing their Ecto Cooler green uniforms.

My eyes! Ze goggles do nothing!

Anthony In TX

…and of all their combos, the Rams wear dishwater gray jerseys with a yellow ram horn on the sleeve that you can’t see and blue leotards.

Redshirt

I can see them from here and I’m stuck at work

litre_cola

I shall be with BC Dick Sunday morning for the Hippo London viewing . Odds on him being up at 630 local time. Nil. Odds of me asking him to return to write about rec league curling this winter? 100%

BC Dick is a Clubhouse member, even if he goes on walkabout a lot.

Jest/Falcons is MANDATORY for him, too. And you shall set a proper example for your wayward BIL.

litre_cola

I texted him. You see, we tend to get pretty loose on, well most nights we hang out.

King Hippo

Old school Conan was some pretty awesome, subversive shit.

SonOfSpam

“Neck-to-nuts Wesson oil rubdown” was delightful

SonOfSpam

Watching the US-Jamaica game and it turns out Jamaica’s national anthem is not “Jammin” so I learned that much today.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It’s crazy to me that the team mascot is not three little birds.

Anthony In TX

…resting on a joint like St. Louis’ birds and bat.

litre_cola

See Ajax for it.

Oh yeah, UEFA can fuck off. I have sung that song in Ajax Arena, goosebumps.

https://tribuna.com/en/news/football-2021-09-14-uefa-bans-3-little-birds-on-ajax-kit-fans-left-stunned-ajax-reply-is-peak-comedy/

Anthony In TX

Everyone talks about the NFL being the “No Fun League,” but nobody mentions UEFA or the ADL

Anthony In TX

Jamaica’s *official* national anthem.

Unofficially, it’s actually just Bob Marley’s entire catalog.

jjfozz

Middle fozz spawn has been in new school for four weeks, already got an email about him fucking around in class

after i handed down his punishment i was told that i’m not really his true father

i almost punched him in the dick

King Hippo

I gotta admit, the Truthers “Salute to Blind Fashion Designers” kit is pretty woke of them.

jjfozz

Goddamn the Oats Studio selection on Netflix is fucking bonkers

BugEyedBoo

I don’t think I could take a feature-length film based on the alien invasion shorts.

ArmedandHammered

The invading aliens wore shorts or did the defenders have shorts to wear specifically during an alien invasion?

Fronkenshteen

I have Collins!

Collins tonight vs LAR
D. Swift @ MIN
Clyde Ed-H vs BUF
C.Edmonds vs SF

Pick two.

King Hippo

Not Edmonds, for sure.

litre_cola
Fronkenshteen

Got it. Leaving Collins on the pine. Enjoy his 200 yards of rushing. (My luck, not yours)

Mr. Ayo

Nawt Mandatory! There’s not even lesser footy on.

Wait, there is an F1 race, though.

MANDATORY status restored!

King Hippo

Who feels all Billy Big Bollocks for making a ML bet on the Jest (+140!) before the Ridley news broke??

King Hippo

Even though non-mandatory 2nite (AS OPPOSED TO SUNDAY AM), I expect the response to Is DFO ready to RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!!? to be

yeah!

jjfozz

bananas don’t do well in the air fryer

ArmedandHammered

Did yours catch on fire too?

jjfozz

No, they just turned to horrible tasting mush. i have an oreo in there right now.

jjfozz

This whole “bullshit potential clients and say I can handle a huge project even though I’m a one man show” strategy is about to backfire like Andy Reid after an all you can eat franks and beans buffet.

Anthony In TX

Is it really a buffet if it’s only frank and beans? Shouldn’t we add some chili on there for extra rocket fuel?

jjfozz

it’s like putting a hat on a hat, but ok

WCS

The Oath Keepers?

Anthony In TX

Oathkeepers, 3 Percenters, Proud Boys, Fox News anchors, the entire GOP…

herodotus450

That’s what you get for trusting a Forsberg.

ArmedandHammered

I am so high right now, I can almost see the top of Trump’s ego.

jjfozz

proud of you. what’s it look like? i bet it looks like rotten pineapples strewn with ichor

ArmedandHammered

That is pretty much it, with the inclusion of a brownish sticky fog above it defending against anything that might deflate it.
