Your Monday Night NFL Football Open Thread

Newsy Notes:

-Darnell Mooney is done for the year with a significant ankle injury just as he was getting going. Poor guy. My poor fantasy team gets even poorer.

-Watson is all set to play for the Browns and there’s been another victim found. Qb Joshua Dobbs has been cut from the roster to make room. (that may have been a bit dark, sorry)

-OBJ was escorted from a plane, apparently he was falling in and out of consciousness. Story is just weird.

-Lost The Room?: Russell Wilson was berated on the sideline by a defensive player. Now he can add the players to fans and management that are not happy with him.

To The Game!

Steelers/Colts:

-With Ryan back behind center perhaps Alec Pierce will regain fantasy relevance-he disappeared for a bit there but will be matched against the struggling Ahkello Witherspoon who also has a bad hammy.

-The Colts have lost 7 straight to the Steelers but Pitt has lost three of their last four.

-Wherefore Diontae Johnson?: Boy does he miss Big Ben’s pitiful excuse for an arm. He hasn’t scored a TD since last January.

-The Colts will wear a throwback uni tonight-the jerseys will have 3 stripes instead of 2 and the numbers will have a slightly different font!

-Back From The Dead: With Jaylen Warren hot on his tail, Najee has run for 189 yards in the last two games. This is vitally important because he needs to be effective on early downs so that Pickett has manageable third downs to work with. That hadn’t been the case recently. Expect the rook to improve if Najee does.

yeah right

The ending of that game was the equivalent to ordering dessert at Applebees.

For all you photography/imaging buffs: https://29a.ch/photo-forensics/#forensic-magnifier . It gives you several analyzers to see how much a photo has been retouched. Now you know as much about the tool as I do.

How did I find this? It turns out Governor Possum Queen below is retouched. Her cleavage is much brighter under analysis, which is a sign that it’s been messed with.

Altogether Ooky. And Uncle Fester!

Lot of ways to do this. Take an image and put it in an imaging program like Photoshop, and just run viewer gamma up and down. Different comp parts tend to change differently. We have have hundreds of tricks like this in VFX.

Fuck Pat Boone

WCS

That was kind of random, but, fair point.

Gumbygirl

Counterpoint: I would not fuck Pat Boone with a big ole gay dick. No sir. I would not fuck Pat Boone!

Doktor Zymm

I knew I liked you

Awww, shucks. I like you too!

And i was fucking on edge too. My opponent had Pittman. 5 catches for 45 yards in the second half. That was almost a classic “God hates brocky finish”

Gumbygirl

Woooooo! Just got home for the end. Crazytown!

IMO, keep Tomlin thru this season as this team looks good. They are fast, young and will buy into his schtick.

Doktor Zymm

Even by the standards of NFL owners, they would have to be idiots to get rid of him

Brocky

There is literally only one group of people who want him gone and we know it’s for a certain reason

Gumbygirl

That group has always been around in Yinzburgh. Fortunately, they are just a vocal minority. The Steelers don’t fire coaches for one bad season. He’s not getting fired!

BugEyedBoo

I’ve noticed that, but can’t qwhite put my finger on it.

ballsofsteelandfury

Dude, it’s not even a question. He ain’t going anywhere.

litre_cola

I see you aren’t on the racist message boards.

Doktor Zymm

Are they called that? Like, can you choose between “Steelers message board” and “Racist Steelers message board”?

litre_cola

This place is a sanctuary, most are rotting filth. Since KSK I do like reading teams message boards. It is a roller coaster of madness, and racism.

litre_cola

Especially a “react reasonably” type of event, it brings out the crazies.

BugEyedBoo

Those guys want Bill Cowher back so bad that it ain’t funny.

BugEyedBoo

OTOH, firing Matt Canada would be a damn good idea.

Doktor Zymm

Probably good that they’re pulling people off for potential head injuries, but skeptical me things they wouldn’t do it equally for all players, and that it’s probably just some guy who read a pamphlet doing the pulling and it’s all actually BS

Doktor Zymm

My Amazon FireTV Stick is preventing my TV from turning on. Whenever I turn it on, it turns it off.

Does it know something about tonight’s game that I don’t?

SonOfSpam

(considering you’re in Ohio, gonna assume the problem is you trying to plug a FireTV Stick into a 1973 Magnavox console)

Redshirt

You know I am tired of you guys bashing Ohio. We are not a bunch of backwoods hillbillies.

Ah, I got it! The aluminum foil connecting the HDMI stick to the rabbit ear antenna was lose. I’m back online!

WCS

Did you forget to prime it? Or, did you prime it too much and flood it?

Redshirt

I don’t need to prime it. I got it duct taped directly to the fuse box.

WCS

Did you fill it with 2-cycle by accident?

Redshirt

No, I got that fueling my dial-up modem. I just upgraded to the 56K and that requires a lot of fuel.

Doktor Zymm

I don’t need to bash Ohio, your dwarven overlords that pace the boundaries chanting o-HI-o, YO-ho, do a fine job and I’m NAWT gonna fuck with them

Redshirt

That’s why we haven’t been invaded. I wish we had them in the Michigan-Ohio War. We lost the war and was forced to claim Toledo.

Nice kick return by Dallis Flowers, which is also a slang term for the brainstains on JFK’s limo.

Dunstan

Too soon!

Spoiler Alert!

Doktor Zymm

I think I saw that Georgia O’Keefe painting

TheRevanchist

The kick return was great and all, but did you see Tomlin throwing a tantrum? That made it more fun to watch.

Chris Boswell is rocking a serious Aryan Nation look lately.

He definitely wants to invest in Fight Milk.

Dunstan

Seems like a good night to make turkey chili

SonOfSpam

Also, any night.

White beans and tomatillos?

Dunstan

No, I’ve done that in the past, but I think I’m just going to go with black bean and tomatoes.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I had black beans tonight myself! We put them on our nachos.

Dunstan

How were the apple brandy/ginger cocktails the other night?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Nobody complained. Nobody had seconds either, though (of that or any other kind of hard liquor) so it might need an extra kick of something to put it over the top.

SonOfSpam

Also (always) acceptable

I love chili even more than Chili’s

Doktor Zymm

Tomatillos are wonderful

WCS

This is the correct answer.

The Maestro

Damn. Now I want chili.

King Hippo

ah, I be going to bed early next Monday night, then

LemonJello

This game has been…whelming? Adequate? Definitely not cromulent.

Doktor Zymm

I don’t think I would describe myself as whelmed by this game. It is decent background to rereading the Zola Story though.

SonOfSpam

Better than any Denver game?

King Hippo

TOO SOON, Abed!!!

Sorry Yinz lost the clean sheet. And I’m not referring to the cartoon box of shit that thinks I should have started using his service 4.5 years ago.

I had forgotten how Troy and Joe make a terrible game so very much worse.

I’d pay for a “Dennis Reynolds and Charlie Kelly” broadcast, for sure

“Up in the booth, let’s pass it to Buddy Cole and Spam. Guys?”
“(sigh) Spam, I haven’t been this bored since my vibrator ran out of juice.”
“You’re exactly right, Buddy. I sure wish priests had access to vibrators back when I was an altar boy.”

Doktor Zymm

This is a case where I probably wouldn’t hate an AI generated broadcast that was 40% cromulent and 60% absurd

Those residents got a free car wash out of it, so they should quit yapping. They live in Martinez.

Doktor Zymm

I miss the pre-crisis 2000s, I had a great decadent life as a student/poker player. I miss getting comped nights at the Venetian cuz of my Ballmer poker buddy who didn’t know how firewood worked (he pulled up an entire sapling instead of collecting dry sticks)’s craps play. His name was actually Eric but we all called him Billy because Gypsy Pete said he looked like a Billy.

I’ve been there!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Some people I housesat for had a signed Charles Schultz illustration. I thought it was really cool.

Gumbygirl

Going to watch as much of this as we can stomach with SIL in Riverside, then we’ll drive home. I’ll try not to get into a head- on crash on the 10.

WCS

One has the real potential for serious injury or worse, the other is a car crash. Sophie’s choice, indeed.

Gumbygirl

The Matron Saint picked us, wooooooooo!!!

If you do please at least try to take out someone that deserves it.

Is Rodgers out West after that Philly game?

This is a fantastic song, but she probably should have gone to rehab

SonOfSpam

She say no, no, no.

WCS

27 Club is always looking for new members!

herodotus450

Having your first major hit song be about going to rehab is like having viewer mail on the first episode of your tv show.

Horatio Cornblower

Her father and boyfriend were real pieces of shit.

Doktor Zymm

And they probably benefited the most from her success. Fuckers.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Given the piddling quality of tonight’s game one might hope that there would at least be an interesting end to my fantasy matchup, but I’m on the happy side of a fifty point difference and all my opponent Internet Dad has left is two Colts receivers.

Horatio Cornblower

I’ll beat Don T so long as my two players don’t score -5 points.

I could bench them, but I prefer to live dangerously.

Gumbygirl

Gumby would have won his yesterday if Green Bay’s defense hadn’t sucked so hard.

Doktor Zymm

In Vodka League, Maestro will beat me if the Indy D scores at least 31 points more than Jonathan Taylor

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I need 37 points from Pickens and Freirmuth….
