And away we go…
To The Games!
Chargers/Broncos:
Both qb’s have banged up o-lines to deal with so whoever can get the ball to their talented wr’s should have the edge. Though the sorta dynamic duo of Gordon/Williams must be salivating at the prospect of the atrocious Chargers “Right This Way, Ma’am” run defense. Denver also has good news in the form of Bradley Chubb being lifted off IR and apparently will play today. It should be a close tilt as the Chargers have played one-score games in 7 of 10.
Rams/Packers:
These two are a combined 1-5 (Rams had a bye) over the last little while and don’t exactly come off as world beaters. With Woods gone for the year OBJ switches from a luxury to an essential part of the passing game. I predict he’ll get off to a fast start and then lose focus just as he always does. Rodgers is starting to come off like the aunt that tells long, involved stories of her every ache and pain.
Vikings/Niners:
Both teams have responded very well in recent weeks to the point that they’re both sporting a 5-5 record. Jimmy G’s renaissance has certainly benefited the team-his 6-1 TD/Int ratio highlights his mistake-free play which has in turn taken a bit of pressure off the muddled backfield. Rb Mitchell is expected to play but Wilson should get his as well. Should be interesting as both coaches want to run the ball down the other’s throat but can also fall back on fantastic talent at the wr spot.
Go be you in the comments.
As someone that’s not familiar with labor union relations, why would an MLB player sign a long term contract before an imminent lockout preceding a new CBA?
Because the rules might change in a way that fucks you over?
They just had to relent on MiLB pay and housing. New TV contracts upcoming. Think the players can win this one.
All MLB Owners are already rich. They can afford to sit and wait.
Not all MLB players are already rich. Some have enough money to sit and wait, but not everyone. Suddenly those were planning on making league minimum and have already bought a house with a mortgage are going to get nervous.
Not to mention some of the team owners may not be on the same page. If I’m the Reds owner, I wouldn’t really want the current culture where teams in big markets that outspend me for my own players to continue.
The fact that the poorly run Cincinnati Bengals have a better chance of making the playoffs or winning a championship than the well-run Cincinnati Reds shows the system is really really flawed.
This. If they fear any CBA will include a salary cap, luxury tax or something to curb spending, they will want to get signed on the line before that happens.

Potential response:
”Well, at least I’m lucky.”
and see how long they take to figure it out, thus proving your point.

Did they make an “Ohio” face tho?
I really hate the “intentional grounding is OK sometimes” rule. It’s a contact sport and 21 other guys are getting the shit kicked out of them every play. The pretty boy can take a hit.
I’m okay with it, but it needs to be more strict. No more throwing at the RB’s feet or intended receiver was in the same zip code. If its not a catchable ball or at least close if the QB is getting hit, throw the flag.
My take on it is that if the QB has enough time to run outside of the tackle box and hurl the ball 30 yards out of bounds, then he’s got enough time to prepare himself to get tackled. It’s the hits they don’t see coming that lead to injuries.
That, and I really want to see Brady and Rodgers get hit hard and often.
After a decade of hounding my dad to try out watching RedZone, he finally did… and he’s admitted he’s hooked. Such a treat to finally enjoy the late afternoon games with him after all these years.
Fucking Lock. Fucking Ekeler.
Bahahaha
Red zone needs to mute Troy and Joe.

Thanks for leaving a bad taste in everyone’s mouth.

My recent experience with Chipotle laughs at your comment.
I mean, it’s right there in the name. No need to call Scooby-Doo.
My hatred for Green Bay is also fed by the fact my ex neighbors were deadbeats who put their house into foreclosure two weeks after mine went up for sale.
One day I will have blankets made from their skin and hair.
See, if they’d properly managed their Packers stock then they wouldn’t have gone into foreclos…Hang on, being told that stock is actually worthless paper peddled to dummies.
I don’t think anybody wants to see the Vikings as their Wild Card round matchup.

SON OF A BITCH!
I forgot to collect my rebate for buying a 12-pack of Firestone Walker and it expired. Now if I want a rebate I’ll have to buy more beer.
If you don’t buy more beer, you’re losing money. Hate to see you losing money.
We need a weekly feature “Rikki Goes Through His Coupons” both for our own entertainment and so that Rikki stops letting his coupons expire.
I’ve long had a plan (have the cover graphic and everything) for a series called “The Hobo High Life” where I detail all the things we do to save money.
Oh fuck, if I told Mrs. Scotchy about this we’d have another commenter on the site.
He truly earned his 2020 Reader’s Digest “Champion of Thrift” silver diaper.
So last night, we had Thanksgiving for my wife’s family – they didn’t come originally because my wife had a head cold and they didn’t want to get sick.
Mind you, my mother in law isn’t vaccinated for covid, but scared of a head cold.
This was all my sis in law’s plan so she didn’t have to do any cooking and be catered to.
Soooo last night, we got pizza. $80 for six pies and guess who didn’t kick in?
I’m not cheap, but come on. My in laws covered them.
Yes, I’ve brought this up several times today.
So tired of my wife getting constantly taken advantage of by her sister.
It’s incredibly frustrating when family members don’t treat each other fairly.
My maternal grandfather was a racist asshole. The only reason I ever saw him after I turned 18 was because I loved my grandmother. I was going through a really tough time personally when she died, and after the funeral he said something along the lines of “I can’t believe that girlfriend of yours is still with you.”
Those were the last words he ever got to say to me. 12 years later, I’m happily married to “that girlfriend” and his old ass is rotting in the ground.
May you and your wife find peace with that awful situation.
Generational racism is horrible, I’m glad you got married. My wife has always been “the bad one” and her sister is the perfect daughter. Weird that my wife is better looking, more succesful, and more driven.
From the sounds of it, it’s not so much weird as “to be expected”
Forgot to add that grandpa *always* favored my mom’s sister over my mom. Emotionally, financially, etc. Always.
Glad you won the lottery between the two. That makes a shitty situation much better!
My aunt, on meeting my then gf, now wife:
I liked the last girl better.
The ex was crazy
“I liked the last girl better.”
“Well, you’re welcome to go fuck her all you want.”
“And yourself while you’re at it!”
Well, that was quite the TD by the Rams.
Hopefully it caused some fat fuck Packers fan to choke on his brat sandwich

The thing about a guy like Gronk is: he may not be smart, but he’s obscenely wealthy and has probably slept with more women than any of us have ever met, so I don’t think he’d care if they directly told him “we’re making fun of you.”
“You’re asking me to be what people think I am already anyway, and you’re paying me HOW much? Where do I sign?”
Love the shot of the mouth breather jumping up and down in a Manning jersey in Denver Hippo.
In-com-PLETE!!!!!
There is a LOT wrong with my FITBAW squadron. But fuck a duck, I love having a secondary that knows how to tackle.
In his defense, they gave him a case of gummie bears and a drunk sorority girl, so he doesn’t mind.
Found a funny;
unvaccinated people think theyre the most oppressed people in America? yeah right!
I can’t help but notice that sign is the same colors as the Cleveland Browns
Woulb be fun to tell the front desk I had a #ThePauls in your pool
What if I’m not *ill* with diarrhea but I recently had diarrhea and may have diarrhea again but overall I feel fine?
If anyone is worried about my hatred for Green Bay, don’t worry. It burns like a lava stream coated with Tabasco sauce and grease.
Ahh, the ol’ heartburn-and-the-runs hatred. That’s a good one.
I will take that Javonte Williams TD and clutch it hard to my chest.
D-O-N-K-S!!!
/fantasy doomed, so all about getting DEN playoff odds up to 2%
good spot, he ain’t make it
Wonder if Don Fangio is considering going back to the WR – who is still on the active roster – from last year’s COVID game.
In that commercial when Gronk says, “Oh, but I’m special” you know he’s been told that since he was 4 and didn’t know his colors yet.
Deebo gets like 4 more of those, I might check FF score.
Mrs. Fozz’s batshit crazy cousin texted an article to my mother in law that apparently the COVID vaccine causes AIDS.
And she’s on board!
I mean you knew as soon as the word “South” and “Africa” entered the conversation, this was inevitable.
I wonder if that has any nexus to my #NuAIDS campaign. If so, it’s far and away my best life accomplishment. LET ME HAVE THIS.
That cousin must love the HIV commercials going around now.
He is a fucking scumbag, has screwed his siblings out of money and has one shady scheme after another. I can’t wait for him to get caught in one of the MLMs he “creates” and gets sent to jail.

I mean both were caused by monkeys hard at work in ‘science’ labs. That’s just…you know.

Ugh, I just noticed that my Carl’s Jr. coupons expired unused. Coach Andy is gonna have me running suicides until I puke up all the burgers that I failed to eat.
You monster. They just released the Monster Angus burger.

Troy Boyz of USC picked up Lincoln Riley
Up by 65 in FF, and Cuntler, (I think it’s him anyway), is down to Nick Chubb. Yahoo is giving him a 1% chance of winning, so if any of you are way down in your game, but still have Nick Chubb, I am in fact
Every person in this NFL Shop commercial looks like they are having fun except for the model wearing Jets gear.
The selection of teams in that commercial is mind boggling – Texans, Jets. Who in fuck is buying this shit?
Insert obligatory Baltimoron comment: THEY DON’T PUT RAVENS GEAR IN THERE BECAUSE THEY HATE US AND LOVE THE BROWNS!!!
Pats got the W today!
Patriots defense seems legit.
That’s Rocking! 💯
Next week against Bills should be ROCKINGGGG!!
Gotta love Rodgers-he’s so goddamn smart in his own mind that he parrots the words “woke” and “disinformation” just like all the other Fox News viewers.
Doesn’t “woke” just mean “politically and culturally aware”? How is it bad to be that?
I feel he used it sarcastically. He said he was going to be lambasted by “the woke crowd”.
I wonder if it would be fun to have Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir call a football game.
Probably not. But I bet they’d be good guests on the Manningcast.
No worse than Mark Schlereth.
my line on that mouthbreather is already in Hippo Thoughts draft
I still want Rebecc-ur and the Two Robbies on the call.
I’d have them call the postgame press conferences.
Especially for Cam.
*two hours later after fashion talk*
TL: So, how did the game go?
JW: And how did it affect your postgame attire?
Drew Lock time Hippo! Pill #2 time?
More like #117
#3, but it’s a #3 with PROMISE!
oh noes, Horse Cock Lock time. Mile High is now a morgue.
motherfucker fumbles immediately, starting tackle dies on the play. FUCKING GREAT
Purged Thielens, nice catch.

I believe that 3 games on Zona Rojo is the best number as you really can watch all three.
Yeah but what if one of those games involves the Jets or the Jags?
THey usually play those on Thursdays or in London!
my vote is 4. Though when Donks is 1 of 3, that works quite well.
Jorb done, fans sad. To the breakroom to watch packerramit until traffic dies.
Lincoln Riley pulls his wang out of his favoUrite steer, heads down to USC
From steerfucker to starfucker. Good luck asshole.
In news from real sports, the Habs fired Marc Bergevin, and hired a new director of hockey operations, Jeff Gorton. Who is either a NASCAR driver or a fisherman, I’m not sure which.
They tossed Mrs. Paul’s CV back into the job pool which I feel is a net positive for the team.
So, this is some PTSD for Fat Stafford, yeah?
Well Teddy ballgame gotcha one there.
there is no way anything good lasts
Lost all my bets and losing my $$ fantasy matchups. Am beating Game time Decision but that won’t last.
The only bet I considered today? STILLERS MONEYLINE. Thank fuck I forgot to bet it.
Yes it will. My team sucks
And teddy ballgame is hurt. Our prophet hippo has seen the future.
always go with DOOM. Hope floats, but like a turd.
Listening to Vikings radio for the Niners game. The pregame sermon was a thing of beauty.

Uh oh. Left too much time for, wait, no, lol, nevermind.
So that just happened! Can Dakota Jesus pull this off?
I think my original post answered that question
Enough time to break the spirits of Colts fans?
O dey broke. Like puppies shot.
Get drunk and jump in the canal sad?
Hell, too cold for them as it is. Bundled up like it’s January.
Those ain’t clothing layers, tis folds of fat.
Dare I say these 3 games could be good?
Nap #2 was glorious.

Decilitre was up at 3:30 this morning. I wanted to sell him.
Think you’d have to pay to move that kind of inventory.
He is an very tall 4year old, hearty, I guess I am going to Beijing to sell him then.
