Your “Welcome to Beautiful London!” Sunday Morning NFL Football Open Thread

Welcome everyone, to the first morning game of the year. (Uh, what? -Left Coasters) I love quadrupleheaders. Pyjamas are de rigueur today as you settle in with your bowl of cereal or whatever else the help put together.

I myself will be having a Bloody Mary. For others going down this same road I suggest a wee bit of horseradish in there for an extra kick. It doesn’t do any favours on the ‘presentation’ side of things but then again, you’re presenting it to yourself. In lieu of celery I’ll be dropping some pepperoncini’s in there. That’ll wake you up.

To The Game!

Jets/Falcons:

-Okay, it isn’t the bestest of games but whatsay your team was in the playoff hunt and had to travel overseas for an important game and ended up losing? You’d feel as though that were not really fair for their chances wouldn’t you, given that this is an asterisk game? That’s why they shovel a garbage game at us. On the other hand, it’s extra football!

-Do I have the balls to insert Olamide Zaccheaus into my of my fantasy lineups? If the name doesn’t sound familiar then you haven’t read your Old Testament lately. He was a wise old king in the Book of Ezekiel that settled a dispute between two farmers by having both of them killed. That’s where the saying, “No farmers,  no problem” came from. (I just looked down my pyjama bottoms and no, I don’t have the balls)

-Matt Ryan has taken to the dink and dunk game recently although he fixed that last week. I feel kinda sorry for him because when all the stars of the league grabbed all the best ad opportunities at the beginning of the year the only thing left for him was a Tide commercial. It’s dumb and bad.

-Expect more from Corey Davis-he has 75% of the Jets passing TD scores. (it’s 3 of 4, but still) The Falcons secondary hasn’t scared anyone for three years now and things haven’t changed.

Let us all know what you’re imbibing or masticating on while you wait on pins and needles for this mighty clash.
