Your Sunday Night NFL Football Open Thread

We’re four weeks into the season and from my vantage point, this year is even more entertaining than it was last year. (Cue purists crying about the dreadfulness that is ‘parity’.)

To The Game!

Chiefs/Bucs:

-Oh look, another qb ball-slurpage marathon just like last Sunday night. We never get tired of them.

-Were you to give me all your money (and you should) I would lean on the Chiefs here, even though Tommy has some weapons coming back. Why? They should be on limited snap counts.

-Both Godwin and Julio are something of game-timers according to Schefter. If just one of them goes it should give some needed oomph! to the passing game.

-Not sure how much longer Brady’s ego can handle only throwing an average of one TD per game.

-The Bucs D is off to a phenomenal start, giving up an average of three field goals per game. (points-wise) I do think that Mighty Mahomes might fiddle with that number though.

-Don’t expect the Chiefs to get things done on the ground. Last week they totaled 58 yards and the Bucs have the 5th best run D.

-Is it time to talk about CEH’s bust? I’m kinda leery about any back that doesn’t thrive in an Andy Reid offense. I mean, the guy has coached Brian Mitchell, Duce Staley, Brian Westbrook, LeSean McCoy, Jamaal Charles and Kareem Hunt and they’ve all been remarkably successful in his scheme.

That’s it for me today. Keep tapping at those damn buttons-show them who’s the boss!

Doktor Zymm

Fine. worth it.

You coulda just watched Season 1 six times, what a blunder!

My number one issue with Quantum Leap series:

WHERE THE HELL IS SAMMY JO FULLER AND WHY ISN’T SHE THE MAIN CHARACTER?!

She is literally Sam’s biological daughter, as smart as he is, was involved in the 1st project and having her be the impulsive idiot who travels in time and gets themselves lost would make so much sense, its hilariously stupid she wasn’t involved.

Dunstan

Have they said on the reboot what happened to Sam? Still sticking with the “never returned home” from the final credits, or not saying? They probably don’t want to commit until they know if Scott Bakula will make an appearance. (Sadly, Dean Stockwell can’t.)

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Tupac would have.

Sam Beckett lost contact with the project team in 1999. Al Calavicci died the year before (the character died with the actor). However, Al’s daughter convinced the new guy to leap for reasons he couldn’t say into a recorder in the time it took for him to go from his car to the lap to leap. All the new guy knows is the new programing he put into, has one 4D coordinates circled, so it sounds like the new guy is leaping towards it.

Al’s daughter wasn’t involved because she was too close to the original project and seems mentally unstable-ish.

yeah right

Cue the Ice Cube.

Today was a good day.

Won the work pick-em without Monday even coming into play.

I came from a time where this was popular when I was born: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1POru2g5mQU
This was popular while I grew up : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na3u8S9tF9o|
And this was popular when I was in high school: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOCWma5vOiQ

Girls growing up now don’t have it as good.

Horatio Cornblower

Guess I’ll tune into ‘House of Dragons’ and see if they age the characters 15 years in between episodes.

Again.

BugEyedBoo

Gonna do it next week, no lie.

Brocky

So…. who wants to hear my fantasy woes?

Mr. Ayo

All of us!

Brocky

I was down by a bit, mahomes came out putting me up at a somewhat decent lead, my opponent has TB defense and fournette.

In the fourth quarter the mahomes threw a pic, got sacked twice, and forunettr got a shit load of receiving yards and a touchdown.

Now have a slim lead and they have two players tomorrow. Win probability swung from 70% to 23%.

0 and 4 here I come.

yeah right

I had J Jefferson, Penny, Hockenson, Chubb and Wilson in my line up so go ahead

yeah right

And Mike Evans.

Dunstan

Oh, are you waiting for George RR Martin to finish the next book, too?

Redshirt

I was the first one of my generation to go to college. With my IQ, everyone expected easy success. But everyone ignored the warning signs of my struggling, and just chalked it up to my slacking off. And before you know it, all that potential become unrealized and…

Oh, you mean “fantasy football”? Yeah, I don’t do that.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Quantum Leap guy just jumped off a space shuttle towards Mir. And no, he didn’t make any fancy calculations about orbital mechanics, HE TRUSTED HIS GUT, DAMNIT!

Dunstan

Ugh. I was just going to give that show a try, but now I think I’ll pass.

Brocky

It was one of my dad’s favorites and was the first show on DVR he auto recorded when he got the option….

He couldn’t make it through ten minutes

Redshirt

They don’t have a Waiting Room, and there is no talk about how the Director is one of Sam’s Leapees he traded place with during the Vietnam episode. Yeah, you don’t think that’s not worth three minutes to talk about what a Leapee experiences after they return from 1999?!

King Hippo

Maths is FOAR NERDS ppl forget that!!

Horatio Cornblower

As one does.

Mr. Ayo

In his defense, do any of us here know that calculation?

“Screw planetary gravity, solar gravity, lunar gravity and the degree of your approach. I got guts!”

Doktor Zymm

To be fair, the lack of planetary forces do make shit kinda simple, assuming you have full life support functions which are mostly provided by hoses attached to the ship you are on, so jumping with no hoses is dead in like, pretty quick.

Redshirt

Not to mention you are one hole in an oversized suit away from…you know…dying.

King Hippo

Good MANDATORY hustle, y’all.

Horatio Cornblower

The Chiefs should go for it on 4th down.

Doktor Zymm

People forget, women also like nice asses.

CAN YOU IMAGINE HAVING TO DEAL WITH A 24 YEAR OLD?!?!?!

Horatio Cornblower

I mean, my son literally is 24, so yes, yes I can.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

We’re watching Quantum Leap. They’re in space and someone said that “up here it’s not about flow charts and [something something]. It’s about trusting your gut.”

Because there’s nothing the human body has better innate instincts about than being in outer space.

Horatio Cornblower

“MATH AND SCIENCE HAVE NO PLACE IN THE COLD VACUUM OF OUTER SPACE!!!”

Dunstan

Yes, when has math helped the space program?

Dunstan

See? They should have just gone with their feelings!

Redshirt

Yeah, its not looking good for QL2. Its taking itself too seriously. Also, Sam’s character had the background, skills and ability to pull it everything he did to pull of the leap. Ben’s character feels like he’s just LARPing.

Doktor Zymm

YES LETS JUST ALL EXPLODE

Horatio Cornblower

Arsenal v. Liverpool next Sunday? Maybe I’ll hop across the pond and see it live.

The way Liz Truss is going it’ll cost me $31 US, $62 if I bring the wife.

King Hippo

Leave room in your carry-on so you can bring back Jurgen Klopp’s skull for me!

WCS

Suddenish change..?

King Hippo

It would have been funny had they lateraled it back to a Chef. Me no want any MRSA Dreamboat stats-padding.

Brocky

Considering I’m paying mahoems and my opponent has the Tampa defense…..

Yes, four point swing

WCS

Is Bruce Arians’ seat inside a cartoon?

He sits wherever Brady demands he sits.

Good Lord, is Arians part-lobster??

Non-football person who deserves hate or possibly pity: Gwen Stefani

HATE HATE HATE!!!!

Horatio Cornblower

I enjoy the commercial about she and Blake fighting as a married couple, since I understand she broke up his first marriage.

Re: The Pecan Lodge recommendation below

You go there first thing in the morning when they open. Dinner is too late.

ThePirateSloth

I just asked my Dallas friends about it, they practically said the same thing.

Horatio Cornblower

When Brady audibles to ‘Alabama’ it means everyone the field is gettin’ paid.

King Hippo

Have you noticed that, just in time for the elections, certain right-wing corporations “just so happened” to drop lots of “funny” commercials themed around high gas prices?

Redshirt

Can’t tell. Since I’ve lived in Ohio all my life, I’ve adapted by tuning out all political commercials. Its either that or drink until the voices stop, but I’m not sure my liver can support the needed volume.

Horatio Cornblower

If my kids ever held a swear jar at me like that kid does in this commercial I’d slap the fucking shit out of them.

WCS

“Guess who’s walking home!”

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

And swear while you were doing it, presumably.

Horatio Cornblower

As one does.

Redshirt

Not watching the game. Has Tom Brady faked a career-ending injury yet?

King Hippo

I hope Revanchist is enjoying his continued erection, and that the clock continues to bleed dry.

Dunstan

What the fuck? Why would you wish that on him? And why is it bleeding to begin with?

Oh. You said “clock.”

Horatio Cornblower

Cris and Mike: “Andy Reid has won 2 out of every 3 games in his career over 24 years and all its cost him is two sons and his immortal soul.”

Oh, sorry, they left that last part out.

WCS

He’s Mormon, so he’s automatically allowed in Heaven.
