Your NFL Monday Night Football Open Thread

Anyone recall when MNF was ‘event’ watching? When I was in residence in university I finally found some other folks that liked football as much as I did and it was really cool to hang out, especially if favourite teams were playing against each other. Later on when I was bartending a bunch of us would close the dining room and head over to a bar. (the name of the bar was ‘Tramps’-when I first whisked future Mrs. Scotchy away to Ottawa, as we walked by I said, “Oh look, this bar is owned by all my ex’s”. It may have sealed the deal-she laughed her ass off) As we were all ‘resto folk’ we tipped like gangbusters and got all kinds of free beverages and snacks and the staff would sit down with us when they were able. Such a great experience that lasted for only two seasons…

Fallout:

-Chase Young is done for the year. Riverboat Ron was cagey about the injury but what the hell else is it going to be aside from an ACL?

-You can now pretend to own a piece of the Packers for a mere $300! The share offer is limited and extremely limiting. I mean, when they install a new piss trough you could say, “I own a piece of that!” but otherwise this fundraiser is silly. I guess if you were super-serious about having a say you could petition to join the 42(!) member strong Board of Directors.

-A Shining Light In A Dark Hole: Yesterday a Lions cb went down with an injury and a no-name, undrafted free agent dude by the name of Mark (“I’ve played 14 snaps this year”) Gilbert had to play the rest of the game. In a stupid-ugly game he broke up a pass on third down that prevented the Steelers from getting into field goal range. Also, remember when a Pitt wr had that long gain in OT but had the ball punched out and Detroit recovered? Yeah, same guy.

To The Game!

Rams/Niners:

-How bad is Trey Lance? Jimmy G’s total throws to TD tosses number is 3.8% which is right there with Mike White’s and he’s still starting. Oof.

-We’ll be seeing the two best wr’s in the league yardage-wise-Kupp is at 1,019 and Samuels has 882.

-Speaking of wr’s, Van Jefferson gets at least one game as a #2 but more importantly, when the Rams go three wide a fella by the name of Ben Skowronek will be the other fella on the field. I’d make fun of him but I read he’s 6’3″, 225 pounds.

-The yakkers out there are saying that OBJ might return some punts tonight. Maybe some “Go” routes as well? I’m keeping my eye on the locker room-which is okay so far-but then again, Odell is a slow-growing cancer.

I hate everything about football and will never watch it again.

See you all Thursday night.

Banner?

SonOfSpam

No, just irrational anger and hatred that I know is stupid and yet.

Which is being a sports fan.

Is McVay incontinent? Why kick a FG there?

Sharkbait

No plausible exlplanation.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

For the choice to kick a field goal or the lack of bladder control?

Sharkbait

Yes.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Great move, now only 3 TDs left in 3 minutes.

I’m looking at the box score and thinking about what montythisseemsstrangetome said earlier and I’m wondering if he was smart enough to immediately run out and buy lottery tickets after Stafford’s second pick.

montythisseemsstrangetome

Monty is never “smart enough”.

Gumbygirl

Smart enough to hang with us!

Seeing how another bad record team is destroying a good record team, is our broadcast turned to only the football broadcasts of the Alternate Earth? I’m not interested in escaping this reality (and possible risk destroying the Multiverse and/or the Space-Time Continuum), I just want to see what it looks like.

montythisseemsstrangetome

HEY! WHAT? FUCK YOU!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

When you said “escalated quickly” and “boy” I could swear I heard the Penn State fight song start up in the distance.

Never thought San Francisco would keep Gay from scoring. Maybe my FF skills would be great in Bizarro World.

Mr. Ayo

Is this a dick joke blog or a taint joke blog?

Why not both?

Wooohooo Samuel TD. 1 for 3 in ff this week

Fronkenshteen

Jesus, you had that five minutes before me. It’s like I live in outer space.

Doktor Zymm

This actually sounds pretty exciting via the radio broadcast, I think this is better than televisual presentation!

Fronkenshteen

Westwood One?

Kevin Harlan FTW

Good choice!

Fronkenshteen

Tim Brando does carbonate the proceedings, doesn’t he?
Harlan, rather.

This is why I always listen to the radio broadcast if I can. Its just so in depth and better.

One game back in 2003, I couldn’t get the broadcast in my apartment so I hopped in my car and just started driving east listening to the game. After it ended (a surprisingly close Bengals lost), I looked up and noticed the state route shield looked kind of weird. Then it dawned on me…I drove all the way to Pennsylvania!

oh boy howdy, is Spam ever gonna be annoyed

He is.

Huh, CNN is airing a Chris Christie special teasing him running as Republican in 2024. That’s an interesting settling candidate to vote for in the primaries. Let’s put him to the Settling Test I put Liz Cheney through:

Oh, come on?! Chris Christie?! Are you kidding me?! This is my only option?! Christie?! How did it end up like this?! Really God?! Messing with Fozz isn’t enough, now you gotta mess with me?! Noli me ignorare, Deus! Answer me!!!!

Hey, most promising candidate yet!

Fronkenshteen

Christie would’ve killed on Olde-Timey whistle stop tours of the prairie lands. The Pappy O’Daniel of New Jersey.

Redshirt

A fusion of William Jennings Bryan & William Howard Taft?

Fronkenshteen

Maybe Kevin James and WHT.

Gumbygirl

All we have to do is post the moose knuckle baseball pants picture over every right wing social media site, and they’ll be too busy barfing to vote!

“Wolf Blitzer here with a Key Race Alert, Christie is leading Ohio by 20 points. If you include Write In Votes, he’s actually behind by 65 points, but the Ohio Secretary of State says that the candidate “My Eyes!” isn’t a qualified Write In Candidate and all votes for them are not be counted.”
