Your Thursday Night Thanksgiving NFL Football Open Thread

I sincerely hope that all of you folks are well sated, that what you chose to fill your plate with has in turn filled your belly. And now, maybe some board games or a movie or maybe even some footedball! Let us know how things went, down in the comments. And I encourage anyone who hasn’t said hello in some time to do so as well.

To The Game!

Bills/Saints:

-The bloom is off Josh Allen’s rose. Again. He’s had 5 picks in his last three games. That represents almost a third of all of his interceptions since the beginning of last season.

-Still, you know what he’s going to do. Especially against a Saints D that was talked up earlier in the season but currently ranks 22nd vs the pass.

-Sorry to those of you that were forced to start Singletary this week-the Bills still can’t run, the Saints can stop the run and Matt Breida actually looked okay last week. As well as one can look while his team was getting blown out, anyway.

-It must scald Sieman’s buttocks that Taysom got a generous contract extension while he’s doing all the heavy lifting. Yes, his record as a starter is 0-3 but that’s not on him. His TD/INT ratio is an outstanding 8:2-you can’t ask for much more from your backup.

-With both Kamara and Ingram both out it’s Tony Jones’ time to shine. I don’t know much about him but he’s 5’11”, 225 and a north-south runner type. The Bills run D had better hope they fixed their issues from last week.

Enjoy your four days off, Americanos! And stay safe.

So the moral of today is… everything still sucked?

yeah right

While there are a great many disadvantages to hosting a gathering, copious weird stains and excessive dishwashing, the pro that I don’t have to drive home?

I’ve wiped up pee before.

I’m hosting Christmas. There may be Tamales!

yeah right

Now I can blog that shit.

Gumbygirl

I drove home from Riverside. But I spent an hour in their hot tub before I left, so that was nice. Tamales at Christmas is a hell yes! There was an organization in Birmingham called HICA that sold them as a fundraiser every Christmas. I bought dozens, they freeze really well.

yeah right

I figure with the assembly line we should have a dozen each.

Happy Thanksgiving Gumby Girl.

I’m torn between the Chile verde and the Chile Colorado so I’mma do both.

So would shitting on the field be considered “False Start” or “Illegal Shift”?

Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson was ready to rock adult diaper to beat Cowboys (msn.com)

ArmedandHammered

I thought shitting on the field was expected if you are a Raider.

Horatio Cornblower

I mean, the Cowboys did it for 3 quarters; I don’t see why the Raiders should be left out.

Anthony In TX

Lamar Jackson’s ears just perked up

King Hippo

Tony Jones, Jr. is ABOVE 1.0 points WOO!!!

King Hippo

/Hippo misspells “was”

King Hippo

I care more about money league, so I hope that TD stands.

/it do nae

Sharkbait

How did I miss the double defer in the first game??

King Hippo

Still…THREE consecutive BLEERGHs on a FG attempt. That’s hard to top.

Senor Weaselo

Who’s on first, Bearistocrats, all sorts of comedy gold.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Just saw this. I really am too hard on the Raiders, aren’t I?

I’ve always kind of like Sean Payton. Had he just ASKED Hippo, I’d have told him Monkey Trev ain’t no good.

Gday Thanksgivingerinos. This game is less than special.

Horatio Cornblower

It’s been a pattern today.

The buttfumble was the last entertaining Thanksgiving day game I can remember

Listen, if you don’t like seeing the Lions obliterate any chance they might have to win by getting penalized for calling two time outs in a row and then giving ten yard cushions to receivers on 3rd and 4, then YOU DON’T LIKE LIONS FOOTBALL.

King Hippo

#1 – shitshow
#2 – beautiful performance art
#3 – can consider it 75% of a good game? Saints offense missed their wake-up call.

yeah right

Reedley fucking Tigers drop for Josh Allen! Drink!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[runs naked through clubhouse with a Raiders bandana wrapped around his wing-wang and clutching a turkey leg in each hand]

King Hippo

YOU BRING THOSE BACK! BLEERGH EARNED THEM!!

Gumbygirl

As soon as I can roll my blubber off this bean bag chair, we are going to head up the mountain. This may take awhile.

Redshirt

Since today is Thanksgiving Day, I am thankful for something.

Apparently The Sporting Year of Redshirt has extended into comics as Cassandra Cain, who was so “lovingly” done in “Birds of Prey” like Goku was in “Dragonball: Evolution”, is an active character in the latest season of Young Justice which a complete accurate deplication of her and gives a completely better reason for Barbara Gordon getting paralyzed other than “stuffed in the fridge female plot device”. I guess I’m getting HBO Max again. Too bad this won’t count in the comics…

…because DC has hit the reset button and had Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown both as Batgirl in the same time while Barbara Gordon returns to Oracle and all three of them are going to be in a new comic series. These are my three favorite characters.

tl;dr I haven’t won the lottery, found the love of my life, and Donald Trump is still the leader of my political party, however life is still continuing to send me a Sympathy Coin or two.

Don T

Instead of Serena as Wonder Woman, I’d watch the hell outta “The Sex Lives of Bat Girls”

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I want to root for Cincinatti to win the national championship for you but I’m worried that if I do I will jinx them.

Redshirt

Assuming they win out and don’t get screwed out, if they can just be competitive against their opponent in the Semifinals, I’m calling that a win. Anything else is House Money.

Don T

Saints D pulling most of the watchability weight.
Deranged gambling the rest.

Fronkenshteen

Well there goes the Over right in the fucking toilet.

Mr. Ayo

The clubhouse toilet is taking a beating today.

King Hippo

Seriously, I might need to leave the cleaning lady an extra $20.

Game Time Decision

There’s still hope for a buncha defensive TDs

Horatio Cornblower

Mississippi-Mississippi State is being played in horrendous rain. Good fun.

Also they just had one of the worst calls I’ve ever seen, the officials know it, and they can’t take it back, so State is about to get absolutely screwed to make up for it.

The winner of course, will be what always wins in Mississippi: Rickets.

Don T

Great execution by the punter of the CYA “What happened?” gesture.

BugEyedBoo

Matt Damon is trying to sell me cryptocurrency. And here I thought he was my friend.

Sharkbait

He’s solidly in the “doesn’t know what crypto currency is/invests in crypto” quadrant.

herodotus450

Which one… asking foar a friend.

BugEyedBoo

Dogecoin or gtfo.

/owns a Shiba Inu because I’m dumb

Sharkbait

People. I’m starting to think the New Orleans Saints aren’t good at this football thing.

Just run the triple option with the concussed Mormon in the 2nd half. Surely, it can’t get anny worse.

The essay portion of course being a 5,000 word dissertation on why French fries belong inside the sandwich.

Gumbygirl

Wait till he tells her about chipped ham. Her mind will be blown forever.

yeah right

Pierogies with chopped onions?

She’s a keeper.

Don T

If only the Saints offense weren’t a waste of downs.

Mr. Ayo

Carolina offense nods in sage agreement.

The Maestro

Trig Palin vehemently disagrees with your opinion.

Redshirt

Redshirt: “So, Dad is the ham done yet?”
Dad: “Close enough.”

(its been three hours since dinner, so the entire family is in the Food Poisoning Window)

Don T

If things get hostile, maybe you could spin it as a “failed suicide pact” to the authorities / media.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Sorry guys, I’m too tired for this time zone and the rest of this game.

King Hippo

Saints defense starting to agree with you.

Don T

4th down abandon woo!

King Hippo

Followed by the immediate 3 and out, it seems! Viva el entropy!

King Hippo

Nice sneak there, Monkey Trev!

IBS is no laughing matter, Hippo.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I once went to an irritable bowel syndrome singles mingle event at some resort in the Catskills, trying to score with hot chicks. They were pretty compliant and fun to hang out with, but there is one rule set in stone with them: No Anal!

King Hippo

I’ve refused to go see a specialist about it. I’m like what are they gonna do – say, you’re stomach is fucked up like EVERYONE on your mom’s side of the family, and there’s fuckall to be done about it? I already KNOWS dis.

Redshirt

I asked my doctor about it and he was like, “its probably nothing”. Yeah, doc. Its probably nothing that I spend a week with no urge to go to the bathroom and then suddenly my colon decides to turn into the conveyor belt from “I Love Lucy” all because my Large Intestines and Brain aren’t on speaking terms.

Seriously, you should look into this. It seems to work for me.

Garden of Life – RAW Probiotics Men – 90 Vegetarian Capsules – Walmart.com

Senor Weaselo

When you said “You should look into this” I thought you meant the conveyor belt scene.

Redshirt

Which one? The “I Love Lucy” scene or when I have an episode. Because both are funny in their own ways.

King Hippo

fuck it, I’mma try. This is like 3 episodes in the last 60-90 days, I will lose my shit (in a metaphorical sense in addition to the literal)

yeah right

I’m just gonna say this:

(H/T Monte Python) metamucil!

Senor Weaselo

We have Dobos. It is marvelous. And too big for the upload size for the site.

ballsofsteelandfury

Please tell us more. I’ve not heard of this…

Hungarian sponge cake with chocolate buttercream in between, and caramel on top. There’s a pic on the back channel.

Last funny;

date: who’s your favorite beatle

me, panicking: uhh, um- gregor samsa

King Hippo

saved the best for last, huzzah!

Viva La Tabula Raza

‘Bailey’ also acceptable response.

Redshirt

Redshirt (speaking): “Uh, uh, the black girl?”
Redshirt (thinking): Ha! Nice save, Redshirt!

Don T

Great stop! This game’s pretty OK.

Sharkbait

It isn’t bad (yet).

clint greasewood

I’ll take Trico and Brees over Al and Cris every time.

King Hippo

ah, Breesus Christ, working the holiday! Yes, this is much better. Word to word salad ratio is tolerable.

Redshirt

Hell, I’ll take Donald Trump and the My Pillow Guy over Al and Cris.

King Hippo

Who’s announcing with Tirico? Don’t sound like Flutie, and marginally less annoying than Cris (or Flutie, who is just as bad).

Mr. Ayo

Our lord and savior Breesus forgives you.

King Hippo

because ah noe not wut ah do obvs

Don T

Food… bad…
/fantasizes about Alka Seltzer

King Hippo

I wondered why, given my very spartan diet…I been on the terlet all afternoon. Sympathy pooping!

Viva La Tabula Raza

My meds had me doing the same. It’s a harmonic convergence!

King Hippo

violent maths done spread to our colons!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

So….no longer future in laws?

Don T

Very nice folks. Had fun. Ate everything.

King Hippo

Madre T will be happy you didn’t like their cooking, eh?

Don T

Heh heh. I have to rehearse my “No, never as good as yours!” in the mirror before seeing my mom again.

Sharkbait

Still full, but still drinking. Will be ready for meat and cheese round 2 by halftime..

clint greasewood

Fernet Branca is the Thanksgiving cure all.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Look at this fucking hipster

clint greasewood

Well let me adjust my oversized knit beanie.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I went 7 weeks without shaving or trimming my beard. Had a pretty good neckbeard going until I trimmed it on Tuesday. Beard is pretty bushy now, reckon I’ll buy a MAGAt ball cap so I can infiltrate their ranks with my .45 when the shit goes down.

Superb Footed Ball!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I’m very full and a little drunk

That’s Rocking!

Mr. Ayo

Time to balance that out.
