Your Second Post-Christmas Footballing Open Thread

To The Games!

Bears/Seahawks:

Is there anything riveting about this game? Both teams are wallowing in mediocrity and the most salient question regarding each is, ‘who survives the fallout at season’s end?”. I guess I should point out that with Fields out for Chicago, one Large Appendage Nick Foles gets the start. Oh, something else-I discovered yesterday that one of my nephews just started playing fantasy football this year. We had a nice chat about the merits of Lockett vs D.K.-that was nice.

Steelers/Chiefs:

The Chiefs are gonna break out tonight! [listens to earpiece] Uh, sorry. That was, outbreak, the Chiefs have had an outbreak. Of the Omicron, of course. As mentioned by Boris, Hill is back. Tomlin might be my dark horse candidate for Coach of the Year given that there’s nothing about this team that says, ‘above .500’ and yet they somehow are. Like Old Bill, he makes games ugly and weird and then seizes on opportunities when they arise.

Broncos/Raiders:

Well, well, well, speaking of .500! Shall we go over all the scenarios whereby these teams can snuck into the playoffs? Do you want to fall asleep? Ok then, we won’t. Denver’s Fangio-tastic D has an albatross around its neck by the name of Drew Lock. Of the 55 qb’s to drop back to pass more than 30+ times this season he is ranked 55th. I imagine he’s been told, “when you make a mistake-and you will make several-try not to have them be back-breakers, okay?”

Do a thing, word-wise.

You’re down 0-30. What do you have to taunt about? Draft position?

What did I miss?

Other than Hunter Henry being fucking useless as my Kelce replacement, that is

Don T

I made succulent fish tacos.

Aw, hell. I just realized the team effortlessly dismantling the Steelers is the team the Bengals play next week. Oh, this has “Overconfident Bitch Slapping” written all over it.

Mr. Ayo

Dead Carr. Hope they have a sideline mechanic.

Doktor Zymm

He’s only 1/4 dead!
But you should replace tires and shocks in pairs, so call it 1/2

What year is he? ’79? Oh, he should be okay to replace. He’s before they installed chips and sensors into cars making them more expensive at their old age.

Dammit Progressive, I’ve always been like that. It’s called “planning ahead and not assuming that everything will go your way all the time”.

I forgot Andrew Jackson was still in the league!

An appropriately named song if ever there was one.

Hate the most: Not going to link here for everyone’s protection, nor will I specify the song name, but if I say “Whitney Houston” you’ll know the one.

Kickers, made of glass toothpicks? Or are they souffles during an earthquake?

TheRevanchist

Kickers are just soccer players that couldn’t make it to a European team. They just need some of that magic spray to return them to full health, but it’s been ruled as a PED by the Shield.

I wish I could say I’m enjoying watching the Steelers implode, but this is kind of sad.

Red (v/o): Redshirt was lying through his teeth. He’s thoroughly enjoying this.

This is one of the few cases where it’s okay to think it’s better if they’re crying

What game is Romo watching?

Doktor Zymm

Probably one where he throws a backbreaking interception

THIS amazing husband just got really high and decided to make fake Shepherd’s pie out of yesterday’s leftovers. I’ll now field any questions you have.

A Katamari ball of stuffed animals is a very specific type of nightmare.

Doktor Zymm

I haven’t thought of that game in ages! So fun!

Wait a minute. I’m off all next week. Why am I still sober?

RedZone is so desperate they’re rerunning this Bears QB tragic history lesson

Doktor Zymm

The Bears are interesting, in that they only want a QB as a scapegoat. If they somehow ended up with a great QB Bears fans would be SO PISSED

King Hippo

Great work by Patrick, keeping his eyes wide open for a Hardman opening.

Doktor Zymm

Would you say the Stillers are mimefrauds?

King Hippo

It’s neat that Chi**** has a Montgomery AND a Burns on their roster.

Gumbygirl

I’m going to make a shocking prediction here: the Steelers are not going to win this game. I’m going to take a bath, see ya later.

jjfozz

To call my sister’s stepson a drooling retard is a compliment. he’s now in the drug selling business and is stupid enough to get caught. he will last 45 seconds in jail. maybe.

Doktor Zymm

Ooh, maybe he’ll be arrested for vagrancy in Towson!

jjfozz

He’s legitimately stupid. Talking to him is like having a conversation with a cantaloupe

King Hippo

Just remembered office is officially closed tomorrow. Helllooooo, bonus pill(s) and shame pizza!!

Doktor Zymm

Shamepizza is surprisingly good

King Hippo

the BEST. So good, I manage to even enjoy the post-eating shame a little.

Oh hey, Al Gore is still in the league!

Crypto com is HQ in Singapore, and they’re here to pay Matt Damon to fleece some rubes, from the look of it.

Cryptocurrency is a con? No way!

It’s great for laundering converting moneys into one’s GAMBLOR account!

Heck, I thought all those MGM/Caesar’s commercials were telling me it’s legal now.

Tony traded in his black and yellow kneepads for this game, and is inhaling Mahome’s johnson like a starlet at Studio 54 in 1975

Horatio Cornblower

Did Tony Romo just say a cracked rib is “like a bone”?

Pretty sure it is a bone, Tony.

Redshirt

My dad fell and cracked his ribs and he can confirm, it is a bone. A painful ass bone.

Mr. Ayo

No, no, the ass bone is the coccyx.

Redshirt

Quit talking about my dad’s coccyx.

King Hippo

I don’t hear your dad complaining!

Mr. Ayo

Well I wasn’t about to bring up your mother’s!

I’m still sweating Montgomery not crossing the plane, despite being out of the fantasy playoffs and not even a consolation round in this league.

After Fromm today, one hopes Horse Cock Lock will have improved to next-to-last!

Da Brrrrs, frozen out again

You would think this would be perfect Bearistocrats! weather, no?

This window has SNOW, and both quartered backs famous for…packing a hog.

I love how the weather was just fine and Jim dandy in Foxborough and Kansas City. Just not in Winter Wonderland Seattle!

Doktor Zymm

Global warming is all a ploy to inconvenience people in the PNW

Mr. Ayo

This is not an inconvenience. This is Snowmaggedon. Pray for our survival!

King Hippo

oh noes, do you have enough freezer vodka to make it??

Mr. Ayo

The freezer was freshly stocked before the deep freeze.

King Hippo

Does that make you king of…King County now??

Mr. Ayo

Soon to be Mayo County.

I’m surprised the NFL didn’t postpone the game just at avoid fans having fun.
