Your Oh So Hot Double-Heading NFL Football Football Open Thread

Not one but two tilters tonight mes amis. For non-fans of these teams this might be a bit difficult but I’m going to give it a try. But let’s take a look around the league and see what’s going on.

Tidbits:

-Corey Davis, in what some would call a fit of sanity, has decided to ‘walk away’ from the game at 28. We see this happen more and more. I didn’t really see many details/explanations but some folks just value their health, mental and/or physical. Over The Cap tells me he’s earned just over 52 million in six years and I think he just wants to spend some quality time with his money.

-Jeudy, Jeudy, Jeudy: They say it’s but a hammy thingy but he was carted off the field. All I know is that wr’s and damaged hamstrings do not a good match make. It seems as though every wideout that has a hammy inevitably reinjures it. Good luck.

-Isiah Simmons, the ‘do everything’ defensive piece that scouts were drooling over back in 2020 has been sent to the Giants for a bakers dozen of doughnuts. (a 7th rounder) I guess he made some demands as to what position he should play and then messed up on the field last week, allowing two TD’s to be scored.

-In Your Face!: Sam Darnold has won the backup qb spot for the Niners. [cue Redemption Arc music please…]

To The Games!

Steelers/Falcons:

-No starters are playing for ATL so we don’t even get another quick peek at Bijan. Guh!

-Pitt has been mentioned as being in the running for the Trey Lance, uh, what’s opposite or adjacent to ‘sweepstakes’? GM Lynch says he’s not going anywhere but can you trust the word of a man that traded three(!) first round picks away so that he could draft Trey Lance?

-What to look for? Atlanta has been penalized up the wazoo this preseason so maybe cheer for less whistles? Jeebuz.

Colts/Eagles:

-The most exciting thing regarding Indy is JT shopping his wares around the league, trying to secure a deal before Tuesday.

-It’s just a matter of time before Irsay says another dumb, petulant thing and makes things worse than they are.

-Tuesday is also Drop Dead Day for over 1,000 players eager to make a living destroying their bodies. That dream will die or perhaps be resuscitated on the waiver wire or on a practice squad.

Goooooooood mornin’ Vietn.. DFOstan. How’re you all feeling this fine-arse day. (It’s weird, when I’m in such a fine mood, but then again – it’s not everyday I’ve got reason to be, lol)

LemonJello

And what has you so happy today? Got a line on a slightly used, but still in good shape BMPT Terminator to add to the collection?

bk109

Godno.. Firstly, if I could get one (and thanks to us in the EU backing the Ukries, it’s not an option for awhile) – I’d rather call my guy at UVZ and just get a quote for a “non-combat capable” (hehehe, as if I can’t find unplugged autocannon barrels to remedy that) new-build export model. Secondly, if we have to get technical, what the Russians are using to good effect’s the T-90-based Terminator 3 (I won’t bore the DFOers with the differences). Thirdly – the smart (well, as long as one can call buying “surplus” military gear smart) money is in the shit we’re sending to Ukraine, since the Ukries (God bless their corrupt little quartermasters/state bureaucracy) are selling all kind of neat stuff via the Baltics or Moldova on the cheap like 10k for a working M113A2, 25-30k for an M109 variant, slightly more for rarer shit like engineer vehicles)

Nah, I’m in a really fine mood, because I managed to close the last of my short positions with a rather decent profit, plus (more importantly), I got a pristine set of first edition Japanese CDs from Maiden, Purple (and their related bands like Rainbow and Whitesnake) and the like with absolutely no shipping damage or blemishes (that I’m now happily ripping to FLACs). And the cherry on top is that a buddy of mine is shipping me a M-105PF engine block from a Yak-9 that belly landed during the Kursk battle, with copies of the plane’s combat history and with info on the pilot, which means that my project got upgraded from a “replica” to a rebuild 🙂

I am still trying to process that the Qards just traded a no-doubt very early 5th round pick for #ThePauls’ waiver wire fodder, 3rd string quartered back.

Then again, Blax been trying to tell us, Mike Bidwill’s sexuality aside.

SonOfSpam

He has no eyebrow, which lowers overall wind resistance. The Qards are savvy.

I am nowhere near Brick standards on these. Note the finger framing. And you always note these things when your subject matter is now 150 miles away therfore no chance at a reshoot. And of course… this is the one picture that I took… that Wifey did not… and the only one she’s expressed interest in. Life in microcosm.

Wifey does have great taste.

4th and 2 and the Iggles decide to go in shotgun formation and run a draw. Terrible.

Iggles with the interception. I’m kind of surprised it wasn’t a pick 6

I can do better than this. MUCH better. But you have to ask me first. Thank you and God bless America.

Make him look like the sultriest lot lizard. PURTY PLEASE.

/then, let’s go raid a pharmaceutical warehouse, bet George can get us some intel

Mr. Ayo

I posted this specifically to challenge you to do better. So, pretty please?

I love that they didn’t photoshop the ginourmous suit.And is he wearing a red tie or did someone stab him in the throat with garden shears? I know which one I’d vote for!

He didn’t ask what you thought.

They should give Fatty McGoo prison clothing in sizes appropriate for 215. Let him walk around the yard with his milkshake and love handles hanging out.

Wakezilla

So, we’re all calling bullshit on Trump ‘s 215lbs claims, right?

Brocky

Of course. I’m just trying to think of a good joke

Redshirt

I see Trump is going for the sympathy vote from the jury by feigning dyslexia.

herodotus450

If he claimed he caught a 215 pound clam it woulb be more believable

WCS

Alternative weight/gravity

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’d have thought it would go without saying.

Brocky

Good lord I just saw the height and weight of trump.

My dad is 6’3 and 315 he’s got that classic offensive tackle build and it’s only been in the last few years the doctors have been on him about his weight because he’s broad shouldered.

I was expecting trump to say he’s like 250, you know in “it’s more believable if you give yourself a “b” type situation. But fucking 215?

Hey the way I see it we’re only in this mess because so many people got too comfortable not calling out lies

If I’m the prosecution, I’m bringing in a scale as Exhibit A to show he’s a compulsive liar whose afraid to show weakness or flaws. He opened the door.

WCS

There’s so much for Hippo tonight, and he’s passed out in the hallway closet.

SonOfSpam

Hopefully he’ll come out of the closet soon.

WCS

It’s an important event. Give him time.

SonOfSpam

Oh he has all our support*

*except financial

We’re just trying to get him to Vegas!

Are all the batman costumes in the house accounted for?

So he’ll be Jeudy in Disguise for a chunk of the season. Sucks.

Piping hot hubris! Get your hubris here!

His eyes are red. I bet he cried, the fucking pussy. He bleached the fuck out of that critter on his head, probably while he was wearing it.

Long as you don’t mind scraping it off the wall.

I guess “election subversion” is better than “meddling” but I don’t understand why they don’t call it what it’s been charged as – racketeering. Even simple “fraud” would be fine.

SIL is seeing Dave Matthews tonight. I’m babysitting her dog. I think I got the better deal, the doggo is awesome and I cannot stand his voice. Nails on a chalkboard for me, sorry!

I think he’s…ok, but his fanbase is annoying. Very cure-like.

I know the 28-3ers are liquid ass, but this is still quite enjoyable.

re: trey lance…the mitch trubisky trade-up-and-draft is still a disaster, but at LEAST he started for the team that drafted him AND made two playoff berths!

if ours were a true justice system kyle shanahan would be fired tomorrow exactly at 3:28pm

Wow. Bray Wyatt died.

Why the hell would the Steelers be interested in Trey Lance? They are set at QB.

It seems people make up shit just to make up shit.

WCS

People spreading rumors? On the internet?!

comment image

ballsofsteelandfury

At least make it something believable!

Gumbygirl

I’m not hating what I’m seeing, but it’s way too early to be counting all of our eggs in one basket. I will predict that Calvin Austin is going to bust one open verra soon. He is fun to watch!

SonOfSpam

Trump’s weight is showing on the courthouse site as 215 lbs.

So they just ask, they don’t weigh you.

Gumbygirl

Lolololol.

Gumbygirl

Add 100 to that. At least.

Someone tweeted that Obama should demand Trump’s Official Girth Certificate.
