First Covid-delayed game Open Thread

Today there’s BONUS football! It’s the Cleveland Browns visiting the Las Vegas Raiders at the Al Davis Memorial Mausoleum!

With Jim Harbaugh shitting the bed yesterday (Yes, I still think he made a bad decision), the Browns have a chance to create a 3-way tie with the Ravens and the Bengals for the AFC North lead. In addition, should the Raiders lose today, that would no doubt be the final push that gets Rikki Tikki Deadly to once and for all renounce his Raiders fandom and enjoy life without bitter disappointment.

Which means the Raiders will win because RTD touches himself and can’t have nice things.

It would be pretty funny, though, to have a 3-way tie for the division with the Steelers only a half game back.

Fantasy-wise, I would think that if your team featured Browns or Raiders, you wouldn’t be in the playoffs, but then I remembered that some leagues have consolation playoffs too.

I won a “Consolation” playoff game yesterday when my opponent topped out at 35 points. Seriously. I won’t break a 100 and I consider that to be an embarrasing win.

In the Vodka Freezer League, my Regular Season #1 team that scored 182 points last week decided 44 was good enough this week. To be fair, I saw it coming last week. I actually didn’t like scoring 182 points because I KNEW this was going to happen.

That softened the blow, to be honest. You’ve played FF for so long, you come to expect these things.

Let’s see how my team that was on BYE this week (#2 ranked) shits the bed next week!

Balls somehow lost his bio and didn't realize it. He's now scrambling to write something clever and failing. He likes butts, boobs, most things that start with the letter B, and writing in the Second Person. Geelong, Toluca, Barcelona, and Steelers, in that order.

Mr. Carlson has rebounded quite nicely from that whole ‘dropping turkeys from a helicopter’ fiasco.

Mr. Ayo

At least their fans got to watch them lose twice!

Doktor Zymm

The Browns are innovative industry leaders in losing!

If they pull this off, are you still a Raiders fan?

They pulled it off, which makes me a Raiders fan!

Doktor Zymm

Go something!

scotchnaut

The Raiders wr unit should be called The Dropped Pass Brigade.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

At least this way I’ll be able to go out HATING the Raiders, instead of just feeling sorry for them.

The Maestro

I can’t believe I’m watching this game of my own accord. Since the 2nd quarter. Dear god.

scotchnaut

“Make it so.”

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I mean, these *are* the Browns.

But then again, these *are* the Raiders.

Gumbygirl

Garrett pulled his groan. Owie.

Doktor Zymm

If he had pulled someone else’s groin they probably wouldn’t show that

I can’t make fun of RTD. My team nearly lost to one of Elway QB Draft Rejects yesterday.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Hey! Why would you be making fun of me – the Raiders are the ones who suck!

litre_cola

I see I haven’t missed much. Good.

Browns finally decided to ride their Chubb.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

That’s (soon to be not) My Raiders!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Pretty impressive for Carr to fumble twice in three plays.

Fronkenshteen

I’m out. Life’s too fucking short to watch this horseshit.

I consider this game to be ‘enhanced’ Monday Night Football, kind of like how hotels consider cutting housekeeping and eliminating breakfast to be ‘enhanced’ Covid services, or how airlines consider cramming 50 extra slimline seats with no padding into the back of the plane an ‘enhanced’ passenger cabin

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

For the Browns? It’s not that embarrassing, they are missing tons of players.

Redshirt

Actually I’m impressed. If they keep this close, some of those backups may earn themselves some more snaps.

Redshirt

So, how’s the shitshow?

ArmedandHammered

Living up to that description.

Fronkenshteen

Wow this game is iced shit.

Horatio Cornblower

Ah, barista? I distinctly said “no ice”

ArmedandHammered

Yep. Gonna go read a shittily translated web novel, gotta be more entertaining.

Found a funny;

mayor of whoville: i’ve had it with the grinch

wife: isn’t he good now?

mayor: not good enough

wife: he wrote us a christmas song. he is making an effort

mayor: but he called the song “fuck city: born to die.”

wife: yeah and that rules. why are you being such a little bitch

Now The Grink, on the other hand, would never do that.

Kurt Warner needs to scrape some of that makeup off, he looks like a cheap skank.

Who is the Browns backup QB?

scotchnaut

Tobe Announced?

/it’s actually Kyle Lauletta, a Giants ‘prospect’ that did some drunk driving, got into an accident, didn’t report it and then denied everything.

So half a Kerry Collins, then.

Well, you certainly never go full Kerry Collins.

The Browns wish.

One of the reasons (among many) I love being married to a lawyer is that she has no issues with playing the bad guy by raising the rent on our rental house by 25% (we have not raised it for 2 years due to nuaids and even cut it by 25% when the quarantine happened). I mean they are going to be renting a 2,000 sqft house within walking distance to downtown for $300 per person. Comps go for $2500 a month, those kids have been getting a deal.

SonOfSpam

So there are 15 people in the house?

ArmedandHammered

Nope, only 4, so we are losing out, but they can leave any time when I decide to sell. Plus one is a Marine vet going to NCSU, who has been a champion in keeping it clean and doing handyman work at the place.

Gumbygirl

Lemme tell you about this fuckweasel Nick Mullins. He was a verbal commit to UAB, and then on National Signing Day he pulled a fast one and announced he was going to Southern Miss. Fuck him with a sharpened spork, I hope he gets murdered today. Go Raiders!

Redshirt

So you’re saying he’s has a potential future as a College Football Coach?

ArmedandHammered

Maybe S. Miss offered a better deal – more money, valet parking, personal scapegoat, and a different coed bound and drugged every night deliveredto his room, aka the Baylor Package.

Time to see the NFL remake of the 1916 Cumberland-Georgia Tech game.

The high school I went to made the national news in the late 60’s, early 70’s, for losing a basketball game 19-1.
