Nightcap of Saturday Sportsballgasm

What a start, eh?  SKOL breaks Frank Reich’s all-time comeback record, against Frank Reich’s former charges.  It was 33-nil at the half.  It was 36-7 late into Q3.  Captain Dingleberry STILL tossed what looked like a back-breaking Q4 pickerception.  But the Humps ultimately humped it all away, on a long TD “screen and rumble” by Dalvin Cook.  36-all, before we even hit 2:00.  Sheeit, Minny even got the ball back with 1:10 and the chance to win (and predictably didn’t make a single first down).

But OT was just a trade of punts, followed by a gassed Indy D surrendering the winning FG drive.  39-36, and yeah right will scope out local “Nutcracker” options every gameday going forward.

Let’s not speak much of Ratbirds aways to #ThePauls.  Plus, I am writing this in advance.

LOLfins (+7) at Bills Mafia (8:15, NFLN)

Most importantly, despite the playoff impact fpr both squadoos – the FORECAST, as of 5:30 Hippo Standard Time:

Snow this evening will transition to snow showers late. Low 27F. Winds WSW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 100%. Snow accumulating 5 to 8 inches.

No wussing out and going to Detroit this goddamned week!  Y’all will play in the snow, and allow our inner 8-year olds to rejoice in the sweet entropy.  Buffalo has the better defensive front AND offensive line, so I still give them the advantage.  But maybe chaos will bring us the Most Glorious Draw we almost had in Minneapolis.  As always, Hippo shall root for it.

There are also bad JV exhibitions on ABC and ESPN, should you hate yourself enough to flip over.  DID I MENTION SNOW GAME??

Please, Allen went down like an Italian soccer player and/or $5 whore, not that there’s much difference.

Gumbygirl

That was an outstanding punt, let’s see if Allen can channel his inner Baker Mayfield.

Gumbygirl

Narrator: He could not.

yeah right

Hey everybody!

The Nutcracker was great. Fantastic production values.

The Wahini played a “Dream Mouse.” She hit her spots!

Glad I gave up on the Vikings game though.

33-0 at the Half? Fuck that.

I don’t need that.

Horatio Cornblower

You’re a good man, Yeah Right.

yeah right

Thank you. It’s been my soul intent my whole life. Appreciate that.

TheRevanchist

I love this game!

Horatio Cornblower

God clearly has a sense of humor, as the lake effect snow hits 10 minutes before thousands of drunks are going to try to get home.

Redshirt

Announcer: “We’ve secretly applied a Teflon coating to game ball. Let’s see if Josh Allen notices.”

Did no one properly explain aging to Alanis Morissette?

Gatoraids

or makeup Alice Cooper wore it better

Horatio Cornblower

Ironic, isn’t it?

(it’s not actually ironic, but since nothing in that fucking song of hers about irony actually is ironic it’s perfectly appropriate)

SonOfSpam

She’s getting older, but doesn’t know how?

Well isn’t that…silly, doncha think?

herodotus450

She oughta know better

ThePirateSloth

I have no interest in either the Bills or Dolphins, but for whatever odd reason, I want the Dolphins to win this game.

Purely for the chaos, really

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

A decent reason to root against Buffalo is that they didn’t deliver the snow that was promised.

Horatio Cornblower

Also those red unis.

Gumbygirl

I’m pretty sure we blamed Lake Erie for that.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

My friend Maxx doesn’t like Fast Twitch.

Redshirt

Okay, Saturday NFL Games are batshit insane.

Horatio Cornblower

If they try to take those Make-A-Wish kids to the North Pole in a Tesla they’re going to have an entirely different set of health problems to deal with.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Yes but at least when the car catches on fire it will keep them all warm.

Senor Weaselo

CANYONEROOOOOOOOO…

Game Time Decision

So I’m still in the LDB challenge. 3 + hours on Xmas music and I’m still in.
And got most of the gifts wrapped!!!

Horatio Cornblower

Same, and I was in several stores and a bar tonight. Fortunately the bar had their radio turned to a disco channel, which cut down the risk considerably.

Redshirt

Same, and that’s after family turned on Alexa on the Christmas station.

Someone asked if we should sing Christmas carols and there was almost a Redshirt-shaped hole in the door.

Gatoraids

if they dont overturn here comes the snowballs

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Nah, the crowd knows it wasn’t a catch.

Col. Duke LaCross

Who’s the genius that benched Waddle because he thought they’d be playing in a blizzard tonight? THIS GUY.

I see the three shots bench points punishment in my future. Thank god Captain Dingleberry might win me my quarterfinal himself.

ThePirateSloth

What a great fucking pass by Tua

Horatio Cornblower

-Independent neurologist, after Tua doesn’t actually shit in his pants and is therefore cleared for football activities

Gatoraids

Chiropracter fixed his brain

That’s an awfully unsubtle and unfortunate move by Manfred, which is pretty consistent with all of the unsubtle and unfortunate moves he’s been making to destroy baseball.

Mr. Ayo

Boop!

Game Time Decision

He’s using 2 hands to hold her clear penis

Horatio Cornblower

I think she’s married to a hockey player. I can just imagine what would have happened if he’d been there for that promo. Free gloves for everyone!

Horatio Cornblower

Apparently someone had France to win the the World Cup as the final part of some insane parlay that involved multiple championships and which, if France won, would have turned $26 into well over $500K.

Took a buy-out today for $280K. Smart move.

SonOfSpam

I like the Frogs tomorrow but woulda done the same.

Horatio Cornblower

I agree. Refusing $280K to try to turn $26 into a half million plus is absolutely spitting in karma’s face. Take the money and watch the game with a glass of excellent bourbon.

Also I think France is the better team, but would not bet against FIFA doing whatever was necessary to get the “Messi finally wins the Cup” narrative over the line.

litre_cola

I am not a tinfoil hat guy but yeah, I can see some shadiness afoot.

Horatio Cornblower

You don’t have to be a tinfoil hat guy to suspect nefarious doings when FIFA’s around.

The Qataris own PSG who pay Messi and Mbappe, very convenient.

And when France wins…

“C’est la vie”

“Oh well” I say, flipping $280,000 in ones at several expensive prostitutes.

It was an incredible ticket.

Giroud has an owie, man was smart to take it. I have 50CAD at 10 to 1 on France from before the tourney. No cashout for me.

Horatio Cornblower

I was rooting for France anyway, but now I will do so even more.

litre_cola

I doubt that this time I will be the only guy who speaks french in the pub. No hot Quebecoise reporter for me.

herodotus450

Field goals and replay reviews should be banned in these mid tier Bowl Games

BugEyedBoo

Should ban all of them north of the Tennessee border. Who wants to vacation in Boise in December anyway?

WCS

North Texas (Mean Joe Greene’s alma mater!) has a player named Mose.

Horatio Cornblower

Who finished 3rd in the World Cup? I forgot to care earlier today.

Gumbygirl

Croatia, 2-1.

Horatio Cornblower

Thanks, saves me a lot of time on the rerun.

Gumbygirl

Oh, sorry! I wuz not thinking about spoilers.

Horatio Cornblower

I wasn’t kidding; I had no intention of watching it.

Horatio Cornblower

I don’t understand why Boise State is in the Frisco Bowl, (I double-checked this time; it’s them), because I thought they had a lock on the Idaho Famous Potato Bowl any time they didn’t get a New Years invite.

herodotus450

The Potato Bowl got stolen acquisitioned by England, didnt you hear?

Horatio Cornblower

Would’ve thought those thieving, bog-trotting micks took it.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Back from the second social obligation of the day, en route to the third. Hippo, sometimes you have a point.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

How the hell did *I* get COVID and not you?

[glances at Raiders hat]

Oh, right.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I also got covid

Horatio Cornblower

The Bills score…

You misspelled “dildos”.

Not to steal your thunder but we really should keep this handy in case it’s needed.

Horatio Cornblower

Thank you, sir.

ThePirateSloth

So this Mercedes Santa commercial means that Santa was going to put that dog in the trunk?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Santa Vick?

Brocky

….. that sounds like a poorly made meme from 2007.

I love it

Horatio Cornblower

The Frisco Bowl as 5-7 Rice University in it, in case you were wondering if there were too many bowl games.

Horatio Cornblower

I fucked this up. Rice at 5-7 was on crawl below the score and are not actually playing in this game.

I am not even drunk, just deeply, deeply ashamed.

The QB for the Jags is one ugly woman.

The LendingTree Bowl is low-end and all, but Frank Gore Jr. has rushed for 329 yards and thrown a TD pass/ For what that’s worth.

Gumbygirl

How old is he, about 40?

SonOfSpam

Yes but Southern Miss (where Favre went) found a way to get him in the lineup.

Gumbygirl

His dad’s about a hundred, I figured his kid’s probably been in college for thirty or forty years himself.

jjfozz

Dear “Feeding America”, it’s nice that you got Scarlett Johansen to be a spokesperson.

But I have to be honest, when she’s pitching your message, the only thing I think about is “boobs.”

Sorry.

They didn’t say what they were feeding America with, now did they?

Well, then you’d have a nation full of lactose intolerant people. But still, I’d be in line.

You sit here and bitch and moan. I’ll help myself to some Scarlett Milk.

We’ve got ice balls getting thrown. How long before ice dildos get chucked on the field?

Soon as the fans are done with em

Brocky

Banner!

Horatio Cornblower

Ah yes, using reason to appeal to the better nature of NFL fans who have been drinking since sun-up.

Lemme know how that works out.

Brocky

Okay where was that shit on that Thursday night game hines?

Fucking dork

Brocky

Tell him to keep on blushing. I got a surprise for him

jjfozz

Yes, pelt your team with chunks of snow when they score.

Guess who forgot this was a Saturday night game and still had Tua starting (and Col. Mostert on the bench though that’s also because of Dobbins, Jones, and Pollard being my RBs and flex)!

Gumbygirl

Gumby sez that little kid who is the Miami coach is absolutely going to stick his tongue to a goalpost after the game.

It’s Andre 3000 #Obvio

Brick Meathook

yes this was completely real

Gumbygirl

It’s real to Litre, don’t anybody spoil it for him.

jjfozz

Sure the Ravens are dogshit, but the Colts blowing that lead warms my cockles. Cause fuck them and the Irsays. Yes, still bitter after all these years.

jjfozz

Memories of going to those games with my uncles and father, in a stadium that my grandfather helped build, will always be golden to me.

The day they moved was the day a piece of me died.

May the Irsays, their spawn, and all who come after them, be damned straight to hell.

Horatio Cornblower

Tough, but fair.

Brocky

My dad was working a cross country construction job when that all went down.

He had the misfortune of trying to buy beer in Maryland while having an Indiana drivers license. Guy refused to sell it too him. Said “it looked like a fake” cuz pops had grown out his mustache

jjfozz

Mayflower moving vans are still not welcome in this town.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

As I said in the other thread, it would be a lot funnier to me if the Raiders hadn’t lost to that same Colts team.

jjfozz

I want Greg Roman’s fat, greasy, brainless head on a plate

litre_cola

Wondered today how our President of Anger would take that L.

jjfozz

It’s like this.

Say you were dating a girl. And you were in love. But then it turned out she was a fat, incompetent fuckhole who consistently loses games, fucks shit up, and is protected by the Harb Ring of Fire.

So you bought a high quality pickaxe and buried it deep into his fat fucking pumpkin head.

And even though you went to jail, you were hailed as a hero and everyone brought you jailhouse liquor and gave you their comissary.

That’s what it’s like.

In all seriousness is a great track.

Horatio Cornblower

Jim Irsay has the same question.

Horatio Cornblower

When Scotchy advised us earlier that this game had snowmageddon potential I said I would arrange my drinking accordingly. At kick-off I have a). done some Xmas shopping b) gone to the dump with the week’s recyclables c) been to the gym d) walked the dog e) showered f) taken wife and son out to dinner and f) am easing in here with a two beer buzz from dinner in sweats and a throwback Leroy Selmon Bucco Bruce Jersey. As Blair Walsh might say, nailed it.
