Your “Talk Amongst Yourselves” + Monday Night Football Open Thread

I’m barely aware it’s Monday because multiple days off tend to confuse the hell out of me. So there’s that.

Fallout:

-TEAM’s Jonathan Allen took a swing at a buddy yesterday and called it a “brotherly disagreement”-no word on whether Hulk Hogan has been flown in to mediate.

-The “Clinchers of Division Crowns” phase of the regular season has begun. The first two entries are the Chiefs and Cowboys. (spits)

-Panthers owner Tepper has sounded the death knell-he’s been quoted as being ‘tremendously supportive’ of qb-swapping aficionado Matt Rhule.

-Burrow’s 525 yard throwfest came within two yards of 2nd-place on the list. There are two guys at 527 (not looking, I swear) and my guesses are Warren Moon and Dan Marino. Woo! I was correct with Moon but the other guy was fookin’ Matt Shaub. C’mon!!!

To The Game!

Fins/Saints:

-Combined, these teams are 7-7-7-7.

-Ian Book gets the start tonight. (despite the Saints reaching out to Brees?) I took a very shallow dive into a few of his draft assessments and positive phrases such as ‘good in the pocket’ and ‘can throw short and intermediate’ bubbled to the surface. Other worrisome words included ‘unpredictability’ and ‘throws a lot of 50/50 balls’. So… Taysom Lite?

-With 86 grabs Jaylen Waddle is within reach (hah!) of Anquan Boldins record of 101 catches for a rook. (anyone recall the latter’s first game in the NFL where he went for 217? That was bananacakes)

-Tua has shown a bit of improvement over the last six weeks (last week excepted) but he seems to be on a career track as a boosted game manager at best.

-If the Fins win they will be the first team to have followed up a 7 game losing streak with a seven game win streak and will have captured the #7 seed in the AFC playoffs. I’ve no doubt that on Xmas morning coach Flores said, “What’s in the box???”.

Keep on typing.

We’ll, that was certainly a football game that happened. It would seem like that should be it for the Saints. The Dolphins could sneak in with the seven seed though if they win out, they can move up to at least the six seed by virtue of winning two against the Patriots.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Davante Parker getting shut out means I’m in the FF championship game!

Doktor Zymm

New Letterkenny. Guess it’s time to subscribe to Hulu for a month.

JimU

There’s only six episodes, you can get through it in two and half hours. There’s some shady streaming sites I can direct your way if you’re interested.

Sounds like someone wants to jerk off while watching my childhood seizures.

Game Time Decision

That’s what I appreciates about you

Doktor Zymm

Eh, it’s worth the $7 to me. Plus I can catch up on some other stuff or rewatch older ones.
If you got any leads on unlocking the DRM on amazon videos though I’m all ears

I wonder how many antivaxxers would convert if this were a more common side effect?

How many of them still have their testicles?

Between this and Ivermectin supposedly causing infertility, I say we just play it out

…Ivermectin supposedly causing infertility…

Oh yeah? Then explain this:

It doesn’t cause EQUINE infertility, unless you consider the fact that dead intestinal worms can’t reproduce

Run the fucking ball

A friend of mine from back east is flying in tomorrow. We’re going to spend an ungodly amount of money on fancy restaurants over the next week, starting with Sons & Daughters tomorrow. I appreciate that they are unwilling to accommodate vegans. https://www.sonsanddaughterssf.com/eat

Sharkbait

Holy fuck that looks awesome

Doktor Zymm

I will take pictures

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I think it would be more fun if they were unwilling to accommodate kids.

Don T

I have a patent pending on that dreamworld.

Doktor Zymm

Probably true in practice!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

They should have a kids menu where everything on it is more expensive than the most expensive adult entrees. Like a $250 plate of fish sticks or something.

Doktor Zymm

I like Waddle because he makes me think of the Duck Song

Since I’m toast seasonally I decided to watch the Big Fat Quiz of the Year. I think I chose wisely.

Is it just me, or did #TransformerNuAIDS perk up Sean Payton’s tits a little?

Kevin James went The Machinist diet to play Payton.

I learned about a new adorable animal today. This is a honey possum.comment image

I’m thinking breaded, with a… Jalapeño mayo dip.

Tiniest wings ever

Mr. Ayo

Do you get their honey be squeezing them? Or does it require a full squishing?

Doktor Zymm

I think you have to make them puke it up

JimU

Unlike honey badgers, they do give a fuck.

I see your honey possum, and I raise you a baby platypus!

How great would it have been for Kaep to come in at age 47 or whatever and light up a few teams as a COVID replacement?

I would pay cash money to support this

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Lady BFC is making chili and I’m chugging beer, so…watch out neighbors

Any forward passes attempted by Miami the rest of the way are, like Phoenix, a testiment to man’s hubris.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Great, keep the ball away from Parker

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I can think of very little I’d like to watch less than an ESPN+ original fellating of Tom Brady. A Tucker Carlson defense of Hitler? A Donald Trump play by play of the pee tape? Those are really close calls.

Doktor Zymm

Ben Shapiro fellating Tom Brady while Jordan Peterson dry humps him from behind and it’s actually all an informercial for antivaxxer essential oils that you shove up your butt?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I might still prefer that.

Doktor Zymm

The essence that the oil is of is Brett Farve?

LemonJello

While Peter King dances around in assless chaps and a ball gag?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I saw a guy in a suit at Griffith Observatory at like 9 a.m. and was like “I wonder if that’s Ben Shapiro.” Then I realized the guy was taller than 5’4″ and realized it was just some other douchebag.

Nice “LACES OUT” license plate joke there. Its reminds me of the movie trying to pass Sean Young as a man dressed as a female and also a great joke that hasn’t aged well.

My mother swam with a Dolphin in St. Thomas, she didn’t say what position it played

ballsofsteelandfury

Did the Dolphin let her right through to sack the QB?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Did she share that dolphins also have sex for pleasure?

King Hippo

but do they know how SHAMEFUL that is??

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Just ask Claire Marino

Doktor Zymm

I own many AC adapters that I don’t know what they’re supposed to power. I cannot get rid of any of them, because as soon as I do I will want to power whatever they go to.

This is the NFL’s fault for taking away a week of Preseason. The Football Gods are punishing them by randomly replacing roster spots with Preseason Week 4/5 roster placeholders.

Horatio Cornblower

Good lord, why would Book’s parents come to see this live?

LemonJello

To be close by to identify the remains?

Fronkenshteen

I love how, on the tweeter, when you shit talk some asshole, they instantly show up on your list of accounts to follow.

Horatio Cornblower

That’s because Twitter knows that most people are on there expressly to shit talk assholes.

Doktor Zymm

It’s pretty much their business model

Not as loaded as the ambulances below the scissor lifts.

Welcome to the NFL, Book the Rook!

Poor Ian Book.

Should have retired after he hit his first pass.

The outcome of my Over 37.5 will become evident in the next five minutes.

Alan Kamara?

King Hippo

oh shut up, Griese. Like YOU know about “taking the next step as a QB”

Fronkenshteen

Babe Ruth pitched one game in 1930 and another in 1933 for the Yankees. Both were complete game wins. Fucking amazing.

herodotus450

Well sure, the league didn’t have any tape on him.

There will be no downfield passing tonight. Pretend there is fun weather.

I have 3 psylocibin capsules in my gun (weed) safe. I’m this close.

I need Kamara to produce a -3 to win my playoff matchup.

Fuck.

He IS the backup QB…so maybe??

I’m prepared for anything to happen in this game. I’m expecting a team to run a triple reverse tonight.

I need Davante to get knocked the fuck out before he can score more than 9 points in PPR

Mr. Ayo

I need MIA’s defense to score less than 67 points.

King Hippo

I need nothing, which is good for this Nihilist Era.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Kelce being injured and my inability to start Burkhead after picking him up last week will cost me the championship game despite having far and away the most points in the league.

Horatio Cornblower

Say what you will, at least it’s (not) an ethos.

Horatio Cornblower

Yahoo apparently thinks that there’s a 1% chance of the New Orleans defense outscoring Jaylen Waddle by more than 70 points tonight.

Not going to lie, I kind of want to see that happen.
