Your regular host asked for a fill-in, so he could sharpen his tools for the winter “harvesting.” What did we learn early?
- We got an announcer boo-boo late in the Commies/Tits fixture! The name that shall not be named.
- Clippers du Merde and #ThePauls are the stupidest teams in the NFL, and should play MOAR often.
- Magic Undies started against somebody in the TE slot. Probably Brocky. An all-time monster performance.
- Go ahead and crown his ass, Brian Daboll = COY.
- Hey, at least the Redshite lost. Gooners are rightly top of the Table.
- Refs gift MRSA a win for tackling Dreamboat. In other words, water still wet.
- No, I won’t discuss every fixture, that’s what teh Monday is for.
Team WKRP (+3) at Ratbirds (8:20, NBC)
It’s the Division one can never predict, and perhaps the two most schizo franchises of the young season. I read a long piece in The Athletic earlier about Beatie Mixon and the Bungles’ run-blocking struggles. Does this presage a breakout? Stoma Fuckers Utd. sure hope so. I wouldn’t bet on it.
Lamar! is having an MVP season, in a universe where there is no Brokeback. He is still appointment television, especially with a defense as leaky as this one. I very much could see this Division coming down to the CIN/BAL tiebreaker, so no exaggeration to say is yuuuuuuuggggge and not just mandatory.
But obviously, still very goddamned mandatory.
Enjoy the Fozz/Redshirt Derby, everyone.
Folks, if anyone of you had the Mets winning the 2022 World Series I have some news you may want to sit down for.

SUDDEN SEMI EXPECTED TURNAROUND
Augh.
That little “hesitation” caused by the rushing DE threw Lamar!’s timing off.
The office where Ryan is making them work on a weekend for Dunder Mifflin Infinity is on.
Our the second half? I haven’t watched any football this weekend.
They’re gonna go to NY to club with him now.
On a MANDATORY viewing day? Kolor Koach Kliff Koncerned
Can we make. joe Burrow be David Bowie in Labyrinth for Halloween? I think he could pull it off with the right hair and makeup
I wish I had photoshop skills
Did I just see a Scientology commercial?
Worked for the Mormons
Was that nationally aired? Or was it just Los Angeles (which I at least would understand)
Are you sure it wasn’t one of Rick “I swear I’m not a Republican anymore” Caruso’s attack ads on Karen Bass?
Can’t say I’m thrilled with the way Bass sucked up to Scientology, but having seen politicians kiss the pope’s ass forever, I can’t get that worked up about it.
our racism is now only IMPLIED
What about the Mermens?
Some flags in Baltimore:
One of those looks a lot like one very close to me at the moment.
No coincidence that talisman has y’all in 1st!
It’s getting faded all to shit, but no way that thing’s coming down. At best it’ll get non-game days off during the winter.
Thats very close visual to in front of McGinty’s in Silver Spring MD. Almost like the region has some theme going
Oh crap, totally forgot next week is coweagles in prime time. Good thing I will be in Chicago and probably very drunk and eating Thai food
I’ll be at a bonfire.
Chicago Board of Zoning Appeals, Tuesday on CBS. Because fuck it, why not?
The episode where someone spikes the break room coffee is gonna be tense, folks.
That’s NBC. CSI: FBI: NCIS: NASA: TLDR: II is on Tuesday.
Don’t give them any ideas.
NCIS: Barrow. Because elfs and elks matter as well!
Not hobbits though. Fuck those hairy-footed weirdos.
That was a touching story from Melissa Stark about someone yelling “Hey, isn’t that Joe Burrows’s mom!?”
Too bad she left out the part that Zach Wilson was the one yelling it.
Evens going in!
It’s negroni time! Also avocado hummus time, them thar brits don’t know how avocados work
I’m not even gonna make the joke(s), but who possibly thought it was a good idea to base a commercial around Andy Reid getting personal?
I’ll show you my son’s letters from prison!
State Farm still has Aaron Rogers commercials, so vetting ideas isn’t their strong suit. Although that one where the girl saves shrimp tails makes me laugh every time I see it.
JPP has been a nice addition to the Ravens, which is better than he’s been to his own hand, where he practices addition by subtraction.
No defensive holding calls!
I miss the roughly 5 year period where all the technology we have now was mature enough to work well but not mature enough yet to be over-engineered and full of bloatware
Pepperidge Farms remembers
Missed most of the Cowboys game while at a bonfire.
Based on how the D performed you can expect most of eastern CT to burn between now and the end of the season.
In French, bon means good! You went to a good fire! Fire, GOOD
It was good! As was the beer!
Fire IS always good. Holy fire. Cleansing fire.
inorite???
Joe Burrow is looking like a caucasian Grace Jones in those outfits they just showed.
And on the sideline, it looks like someone dumped a Slushee on Lamar!’s head.
In short, the Ravens are a land of contrasts.
Jesus, my dreaming mind is a big enough asshole without the “crippled pets” commercial.
The Bengals did a… good??
Is that allowed?
shhhh, nobody tell God!
hmmm, maybe we can indeed has game
Bengals are…uh…uh…leg passing? Ground-gaining? Its been so long, I forgot what it was called.
Okay, time for a throw back, anyone wanna guess the origin of this pic?
Shoulda been Trogdor.
Not exactly… keep guessing
2006? Sex Cannon’s weekly stats.
Bengals do a good?
but they have to offense now
Oh, yeah. That.
Does Cincy even have a first down? My mind is drifting.
I think we got one the first drive. Maybe.
Yes. Only one until this series.
They have one. I think
Chucky legit scared the shit out of me when I was really little. Like ages 3 to 6 I was terrified
Ok, I guess I’m the only one whose first thought was shoplifting
Or someone with an impeccable sense of humor.
If you can combine petty larceny with a fine joke, you are my kind of criminal
I wouldn’t steal it; I’d hide it in the employee break room.
It is very charitable of Yahoo to think there is a 3% chance of Josh Jacobs getting 18 more points than Mahomes tomorrow. I will go ahead and congratulate Spam for beating me in Vodka league right now
Need booky-book recommendations – the LemonJello Booze Cruise shoves off Thursday.
Prefer Sci-Fi or Historical Fiction.
And. GO!
Do you enjoy steampunk? If you haven’t read them, the Clockwork Century series by Cherie Priest are great. Start with Boneshaker
N. K. Jemisin’s Broken Earth trilogy won back to back to back Hugos, and were that good.
The “Fractured Europe” series. Perfect for travel.
Neal Stephenson’s Baroque Cycle, if you want history-flavored Stephenson. Has the same problem with nearly all of Stephenson’s books, though; they don’t have endings so much as they just stop.
Iain M. Banks’ Culture novels
The Three-Body Problem
For historical: the Aubrey/Maturin novels by Patrick O’Brian
A beer should be, at very most, three dollars at a bar.
It’s bread water. That’s all it ever was. Tasty, but simple. Let’s not kid ourselves.
We lost our way as a society when we allowed inflation to end dollar beer nights at the bar.
How does it feel being an old man, old man?
I’ve been waiting for this my whole fucking life. I feel incredible, which considering I’m apparently now an old man, means of course that I feel like shit.
Tie an onion onto your belt and go yell at the clouds!
Here’s a guy in Baltimore:
a true booze artist, no less
In a crazy twist, they don’t have the game on in the lounge, just NFL Network highlights. Had to bust out my laptop, just in time to see a Geico commercial. Forgot my headphones so don’t have to listen to whoever is doing talkies tonight
Tirico and Collinsworth. So not missing much
Nobody within 10 yards and he fair catches
NFL Owner Is Expected To Fire Head Coach On Monday – The Spun: What’s Trending In The Sports World Today
We got our first Black Monday.
Meanwhile, Hippo broods in the Fortress of Pillatude, and crosses the eyes out of another picture of Nathaniel Hackett.
You don’t even have to coach a NFL team for a full year to have an era named after you. Kinda cheapens it
“Eh, I’m okay with it.” – Wm. Harrison
So after all this turkey and family and card playing and what have yous, I have finally returned home and get to sit alone in my basement in complete silence, with a beer and an edible, and get to watch SNF.
Absolute perfection.
Plus all of you are here with me, so that’s even better.
I’m starting to think the Ravens may be better than the Jets and Dolphins.
Almost to the lounge, have I missed anything awesome or all suck so far?
Does your lounge give you free drinks?
Any airport lounge worth the name should do exactly that
I only know of one that doesn’t, this one has a pretty good selection
Divisional slugfest
JPP really has his finger on the pulse of the Cincy Offense.
JPP’s number is actually 3 1/2, but NFL requires integers, so it rounds up to 4.
Should be truncated instead.

So since I’m in a pissy mood already, went to a haunted house last night. I’ll go back to my old habit of posting horror gifs.
On that note, the sheriff’s death from the blob remake is one of the most painful looking movie deaths I’ve ever seen.
Thought the sink one was worst, the initial absorb of the doctor was good quality too
Nice 80s horror run of practical effects the Thing, The Blob and The Fly. All money into special effects none in trick titles
The Thing, with Kurt Russell, is the best of that list, by far. If you haven’t seen it you should.
To think I’m old enough to have to tell youngins to watch it.
..I saw the fly remake way too young. Was not ready for that shit
If you ever wonder how terrible i actually am at fantasy football
Considering BUF won 38-3 in a wind game…that Singletary line is a killer. God really does have His holy fist up yer asshole.
Yep. I assumed not practicing till Thursday would have made david montg not have his best game of the season, but no.
Also shame on me for picking up a new kicker
I heard, “Why the fuck don’t they use Singletary more?” on this site so often, that I figured his time has finally arrived this year, and drafted him for my team. In retrospect, that might have been a mistake.
Key and Peele made player intros be comedy forever.

Damn. Bengali’s cheerleaders ain’t skipping situp day.
Likely skipping a few meals though
<Insert ‘sausage’ joke here>
<insert ‘insert sausage’ joke here>
Maybe not a full sixer, but a 4-pack of Bartles & Jaymes fo sho!
Was ‘meh’ regarding Florio until I heard him go on a full-on rant regarding the MAGA crowd a few weeks ago. It was completely out of the blue. So obvious that he needed to get it off his chest. Loved it.
Is he related to the former NJ Governor, I wonder?
Its still funny when you hear that pause when someone picks the Bengals to win a tough game.
“I’m going to pick the… …. …. Bengals.”
… … … (thinking): “Am I insane? Do I still have COVID? Why am I picking them?!”
Didn’t watch the Cardinals game but am all in for the Cardinals Talk post-game show.
Sounds like just the same old bullshit with these idiots.
Please write this one up!!
Many, many thanks to The Hippo for filling in tonight-work stuff and family obligations drained me. Much love directed towards Carolina.
/raises pill bottle to a fine Spirit Animal
Don’t tell Horatio…
oh dear God, he’s gonna nuke mah state
Those are some hella throwback jerseys.
I ordered wings. Sweet red chili x2. Excitement is beating back the pending shame.
If anything, this game should show exactly which illusion is closer to what the Bengals actually are: the team who won two games in a row by protecting the QB, taking what the defense gives them and allowing the other teams to make the mistakes, or the team who lost two games in a row by getting their QB maimed, trying to go for the deep-pass killshots when it wasn’t there and putting themselves in too many deep holes to overcome.
Crippling injury to Burrow to complete the Bungles Bingo Card!
We would have also accepted “left tackle breaks leg”
Oh, gee. This is a toughie. If I have to choose one of those options, I’d choose Door Number Hippo.
that’s what SHE (never) said!
Ha!
Filling up your bungL card.
The spots already been hit (thank you Redcateds). Its not quite like Greg Cook’s injury, but its still a what-if question how a slightly more mobile Burrow would be like.
Brian Daboll has Danny Dimes looking… I don’t know if “competent” is the right word, but, yeah, COY.
“Cromulent”?
borderline playable?
Loose stools instead of liquid shit?
