Your Sunday Night NFL Football Open Thread

Oof! This one sure looks like an unquality tilt. Of all the divisions I feel that the NFC North provides the most boring football year in and year out. Give me a Jags/Texans game any time! Okay, I may have exaggerated a wee bit. Will the Bears be resigned to their fate and lose to the Pack yet again or did Rodgers words get their gumption up?

To The Game!

Bears/Packers:

-After Dalton did a Dalton (four interceptions, who does he think he is, Taysom Hill?) Nagy has come back to Fields of Fire. At least that cat can run.

-If wins against the Lions don’t count-and they shouldn’t-Chicago would have all of two on the season. There’s no way the coach survives the Monday after the end of the regular season, don’t you think?

-Here’s hoping that Dillon has powered his way into a significant timeshared backfield with Jones. He’s done everything to deserve it and with a likely run in the playoffs being in the cards, it would be smart to keep the latter’s legs fresh.

-Every NFC team worth its salt has hung 30+ on this sad sack Bears D and Green Bay should be no different.

-So then the question becomes: “Can this O unit keep up the pace?” I say no unless there are plenty of turnovers and wr Mooney goes bananas. Yeah, not happening.

Do that thing.

Is the SNF game….good?

litre_cola

Dunno seems everyone is watching Le Coupe Grey

Horatio Cornblower

Go Bombers!

Mr. Ayo

We have time to assess that next half.

NotShogunButShogun

Actually…yes‽

Doktor Zymm

Okay, I should try to make barkeep’s life difficult by requesting the Grey Cup, shouldn’t I? I’m the only one watching the Bears game on multiple tvs

litre_cola

Espn2 I believe?

The Maestro

That’s right.

herodotus450

Make sure to clarify that you’re not asking for a Grey Cup, which is gin and olive juice poured over shaved ice I believe.

Dunstan

Get another woman to support you, so you can tell the bartender that two girls want one cup.

litre_cola

Bomber football, the stadium has gone quiet. Brilliant.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I feel like by virtue of me rooting for them the Ti-Cats have taken on all the characteristics of the Raiders.

ballsofsteelandfury

ROUGE!!

Petronel

The look on the little girl’s face after that bike hits her snowman friend is AWESOME

Sharkbait

Well shit.

The Maestro

Nic Demski is a bad, bad man.

ballsofsteelandfury

Oh this Grey Cup is REAL good!

Dunstan

Three minute warning!

NotShogunButShogun

This just might be a close game.

Doktor Zymm

NEW BATHROOM DEVELOPMENT! A couple years ago the bathrooms at the bar went unisex, with a period of one bathroom being the staff bathroom. Now they’re both unisex for the public bathrooms, but with a sign that says, in large print, ONE AT A TIME PLEASE

King Hippo

I have done very few adventurous things in my carnal existence (side-eyes Balls judgingly). But I very much DID have sex once in my local’s loo.

Doktor Zymm

The sign is for you! (wink wink nudge nudge)

Redshirt

I’m still watching the Grey Cup, but based on the comments below, I’m glad the Bengals lost to the 49ers twice or else we would have “Super Bowl winner Cris Collinsworth” to deal with.

King Hippo

TRUE JUKEBOX STORY – A friend of ours in college once played “It’s A Waffle House Christmas” repeatedly (drunk at 3 am, as all Waffle House stories start), over the warnings/objections from the kitchen staff. The chef leaped over the counter and chased him out with a knife.

Also, I am disappearing into Footy Manager now, I have written my column and the competitive portion of this fixture – like my fantasy season – is done and dusted.

Fucking Bearistocrats!, man. Always with the sucking and fucking, and fists up the asshole.

Mr. Ayo

IT’S A 3 POINT GAME.

THE GREY CUP IS A 1 POINT GAME.

POP AN UPPER AND STAY DAMMIT.

ballsofsteelandfury

Winnipeg is coming back!

ballsofsteelandfury

Litre,

You can catch the Liga MX final on another screen. Starting now.

litre_cola

You know me very well sir.

King Hippo

what should my rooting intersante be?

ballsofsteelandfury

Atlas

hippofant

Really Cris? Aaron Rodgers has been open and honest about everything this year? He hasn’t lied or misled the public about anything this year? There weren’t even a slight equivocation ‘ere pass’d through his ‘outh?

herodotus450

Is an audible technically a lie about the playcall in the huddle?

King Hippo

Is something art just because you hang it on the wall??

NotShogunButShogun

Picksixerration!

Petronel

Cris…just shut the fuck up, please.

Mr. Ayo

Evergreen

hippofant

Y’all are making me feel like a bad Canadian for watching a fucking Bears game instead of the Grey Cup.

litre_cola

Its a really good tilt.

ballsofsteelandfury

You really are. The CFL game is good.

Mr. Ayo

You should feel bad and say ten “Sorrehs” in repentance.

And then turn the game on! It’s ROCKING!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Unoucceptable

King Hippo

I feel ya, ah am a bad Son of the South. I have really truly NEVAR even held a real gun, let alone fired one.

litre_cola

What a catch! Bombers are marching. Some would say its rocking.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Look at me, watching the Grey Cup!

Mr. Ayo

*BIG BEN HARFS AND BLUSHES*

Doktor Zymm

Does it look like Ben’s dick?

Redshirt

This is the first CFL game I’ve seen in years. Its a bit jarring with the larger field, the dark orange flags, the 55 yard line and of course only three downs.

Sharkbait

Ok Jussi Saros can stop being good now.

Doktor Zymm

Goddamit about to check if I have touchtunes credits

Doktor Zymm

The jukebox is offline but I was just gonna play Mariah Carey anyway

Sharkbait

Wouldnt be surprised if they took it offline the day after halloween to prevent that.

Doktor Zymm

The bartender and a dude were having a conversation about how everyone in the bar was having emotions, so I figured ‘you got me feeling emotions’ was appropriate

Mr. Ayo

Self safety is always a great plan.

?!?!?

Sharkbait

Like an intentional safety like the Patriots – Broncos game a few years ago where you have faith in your defense to make a stop?

Or the Dan Olrovsky special?

ballsofsteelandfury

It was the first one but it’s backfiring.

litre_cola

They held them to a FG. Lots of time left.

Mr. Ayo

Not the Orlovsky special kind. Still confused why you’d give up 2 points and possession when behind. Unless you’re a submissive.

Redshirt

Not to mention you’re basically telling the punter to take a safety because you have no faith in them to flip the field with a great punt.

Brocky

Evening

BrettFavresColonoscopy

WHERE?

TheRevanchist

Catches the ball during a return.

“What is Not the Bengals, Ghost of Alex.”

Redshirt

Zack Collaros is playing for Winnipeg? Go Winnipeg!

litre_cola

League Most Valuable player this year

The Maestro

KAMERON KELLY IS A PICK MACHINE

Mr. Ayo

Well, looks like at least one HAM will win today.

Fronkenshteen

grumblegrumblegrumble

The Maestro

Kameron Kelly had great vision to jump the receiver’s route there. Hamilton responded in kind.

(Watch the Grey Cup, you animals.)

Mr. Ayo

Winipegging it!

litre_cola

They need to hold them to a FG then they get the wind.

litre_cola

Narrator : They did not.

litre_cola

The CFL game is very good.

Redshirt

Aw, Fields is back? I was hoping for some Prime Time Andy to heal from the Bengals OT loss.

rockingdog

Found a funny;

landlord: the cost of rent has gone up

businesses: that’s a natural part of doing business

suppliers: the cost of materials has gone up

businesses: that’s a natural part of doing business

worker: the cost of my labor has gone up

businesses: listen here you little shit

Doktor Zymm

Considering the history of unions in the US compared to Europe this isn’t unreasonable. Reading about the history of the shipping container right now and goddamn the IFL was corrupt as shit. Throw in the fact that unions were perfectly happy to bankrupt GM and contrast that with German unions that have a spot on corporate boards and are willing to enter ‘opening clauses’ when a company is foundering and I take everything American Labour says with a grain of salt

*this comment brought to you by the Taking Jokes Way Too Serious Foundation

Doktor Zymm

To clarify, I am in favor of organized labour, but not if they are just as shit as Elon Musk who is the most shit of everything ever

BrettFavresColonoscopy

The other day I bought half a blueberry pie on a whim and then only ate half of that and then realized I was flying so I packed a quarter a blueberry pie for this trip.

Doktor Zymm

Solid planning pie is nawt a liquid!

litre_cola

It is a sandwich though.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

You sonuvabitch

Sharkbait

No No NO!

Fuck now I want pie.

Mr. Ayo

You mean a pastry sandwich?

Doktor Zymm

Bar was the right decision. Fun convo about franchise QBs and the 85 Bears with the peeps on my right, and the people on the left asked if my phone was a blackberry

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Go Mike Tomczak!

King Hippo

Tell them I said Erik Kramer would have owned the town if he had been there a few seasons earlier.

rockingdog

That’s Rocking!

Mr. Ayo

I hope you invoked the mantra of “Fuck it, I’m going deep” at least once.

Doktor Zymm

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Ugh two 9.9% abv beers and a 6.5% before this flight means I just don’t want to fly. But these are the sacrifices we make. Now get me another beer.

Sharkbait

You’re in too deep. You need to maintain a constant state of inebriation for the duration of the flight now.

Sharkbait

Dan Snyder taking the “leathal turf” game up a notch today

That’s like the 3rd time this season scissors have been on a field. Wtf?

Mr. Ayo

If it was legal I would have bet the under on this much lesbian references this season.

I have some bad news: the January 6th [DFO] Power Point Slides have also been obtained by the lame stream media, which contains such damning bullet points as:

  • Fuck this Roger Goodell guy
  • Why does my back hurt?
  • Who drank all the whiskey?
  • Oh wait it was me
BrettFavresColonoscopy

Thank the lord my ff opponent is tanking this week bc my team is sucking more than Katie Morgan

ballsofsteelandfury

She a Kings fan!

Mr. Ayo

Makes sense since they suck out loud too.

The beginning of Star Wars: Episode IX illustrates how good the new trio of Rey/Poe/Finn are working together, almost like Luke/Han/Leia but with new twists and differences so its not a complete copy, but then it quickly separates them because the produces hates the audience.

ballsofsteelandfury

We’re all watching the Grey Cup halftime show, right?

litre_cola

Arkells baby! Great live.

ballsofsteelandfury

Yeah, I really liked their set!

litre_cola

Wife and I saw them 6 years ago in Montreal at a festival. Opening act the Saturday, they still had a superb set.

What do Canadian Country singers sing about?

litre_cola

Beer, being cold, being polite during heartbreaks.

Redshirt

Oh, my wife and my best friend are eyeing each other.
And Lord know lately we haven’t been getting.
But though I’ll allow love her to death
And I cherish every moment we’ve had.
I’ll divorce her and give them my blessings.

Doktor Zymm

Tractors, dogs, and moose

Mr. Ayo

Yes. But it’s all been downhill since Shania.

herodotus450

Is it just a projector a mid-field showing Mac and Me?

The Maestro

Arkells fucking slayed it. Fantastic show.

ballsofsteelandfury

Yes, they were awesome!

ballsofsteelandfury

How the hell are the Bears on Prime Time 2 weeks in a row? They’re on MNF next week…

NotShogunButShogun

Is mnf really “prime” viewing though? It’s marginally better than Thursdays.

Sharkbait

It’s the shitty pizza of football. It’s the only option and we’ll consume it, but more often than not we won’t be happy about it.

Doktor Zymm

Bears fans are eternally hopeful. Lots of them are also Cubs fans, so they’ve learned that it is totally possible to hang on for decades and have it pay off. They will deliver the ratings.

Doktor Zymm

OKAY FINE I WILL PUT SHOES AND PANTS ON AND GO TO THE BAR TO WATCH THIS GAME. NAWT PUTTING ON A BRA OR BRUSHING MY HAIR OR MAKING ANY OTHER EFFORT NOT TO LOOK LIKE A DRUNK OPOSSUM THOUGH

Sharkbait

Pants as a social norm is ridiculous. Humans survived thousands of years without pants.

NotShogunButShogun

I do alright! I gotta tell people when I move to a new area, but that’s just neighborly right?

herodotus450

We used to wear two pantaloons, one for each leg, and now we’re down to one “pants.” By the power of extrapolation, in a few hundred years we should be wearing negative 16823 pants.
/Assuming the decrease is exponential, of course

Doktor Zymm

I am willing to accept that assumption without justification due to personal biases

Redshirt

I think I saw someone like that one morning working McDonalds Drive Thru. However the woman didn’t have a shirt, move like a throw-over. And with her weight, she didn’t really have curves, more like blobs.

My heterosexuality didn’t die that morning, but it did take a standing eight count.

Mr. Ayo

You’d have a lot more fun without the pants.

The shoes are a good idea though.

Doktor Zymm

I went with my painting sweatpants. Pretty sure most of the dudes here are gay anyway so they’ll just assume I’m a lesbian.

Mr. Ayo

Wait, you’re not a lesbian?!?

ballsofsteelandfury

I support women ditching their bras. It’s really quite unnecessary.

Doktor Zymm

They were a fine middle step between corsets and fuck-all, but their purpose has been served. Sports bras can still be useful though.

Petronel

And for the very generously endowed, they’re helpful for avoiding pain / inconvenience / excessive movement, of course.

Brocky

NAWT PUTTING ON A BRA OR BRUSHING MY HAIR OR MAKING ANY OTHER EFFORT NOT TO LOOK LIKE A DRUNK OPOSSUM THOUGH

Ngl this was common behavior back in college for the but between Thanksgiving and finals

Redshirt

AFC North is separated by 1.5 games. This may be first to 10 games wins.

ballsofsteelandfury

This was quite the second slate of games!

And now we get … this.

Redshirt

The awkward breakfast after the one-night stand.

Doktor Zymm

Plus side of leaving in the middle of the night: no awkward breakfast. Minus side: it is dark and you might leave your favorite hat behind. Decision: leave and get a new hat

litre_cola

Or you take a hat your prefer to yours!

Redshirt

…or if she’s way out of your league and is only using you for slump-buster/revenge purposes, take one of her hats by mistake and try to parlay the mistake into another date.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I never understood that. Do you not-interested-in-spending-the-night people not also desire morning sex?

litre_cola

That is why they invented Gambling. HAIL GAMBLOR
