Or is someone on the left coast going to insist that it’s still night? I kid, I kid. Well, here we are with the first of two straight across the pond at the heart and home of the finest of the colonial oppressors and also the first of five ‘away’ games out of country. (when are they going to schedule a game in Halifax, by the way?)
So what are you doing to fit in? Are you wearing your houndstooth cap? Perhaps watching one of those oh-so-cheeky-in-the-60’s “Carry On” movies? (check out the double entendres on Imogen Hassall!) Maybe backing a local warlord in Burkina Faso in exchange for the rights to mine some sweet, sweet manganese? I’m having a dibble wabbler with some pickled onion crisps on the side.
To The Game!
Falcons/Jags:
-That burgeoning offense which caused many a skilled player on the Jags to get a wee bump in your fantasy drafts is currently stuck in neutral. They’ve strung together games of 9 and 17 points scored.
-It might look a bit better had Ridley not dropped two TD passes last week. Oh yeah, this is one of those so-called ‘revenge’ games which now happens every single time a fella plays against the team he was traded from.
-There’d be no point in flying back and forth again seeing as they’re playing Buffalo next week here but I’d like to think that most players would just prefer to not be in Florida for two weeks.
-Temper your expectations for Bijan maybe a little. The Jags D are top 3 in Expected Points Added per play vs the rush. The DC’s motto is “Stop the run, then have fun”-meaning then pin your ears back and have at it with the QB. Whatever floats your canoe…
-There is one problem though. The Jags don’t do well in space. They’re sixth in missed tackles and don’t expect them to improve because that’s exactly where they finished last year.
-As you might have guessed, Desmond Ridder is a league winner…in turnover-worthy plays. Can’t help but think that the team could easily end up 9-8 or thereabouts with league average QB play.
Good Morning!
Man do I hope THE NARRATIVE pencils the Chiefs out of the AFC Championship game in favor of a Miami-Buffalo matchup.
THESE GUYS THE PORTUGAL RUGBY TEAM I CALL THEM THE LAS VEGAS RAIDERS PLAYING AGAINST A QUALITY OPPONENT BECAUSE THEY GOT A QUICK SCORE AND BRIEFLY HELD A 7-3 LEAD AND MADE ME THINK THEY WERE GOING TO MAKE A GAME OF THINGS BUT ARE CURRENTLY DOWN 24-7 AND IT’S NOT EVEN HALFTIME YET.
I just looked at the Disney+ Toy Story broadcast, next to the ESPN+ broadcast.
What a hunk of shit. You people deserve what you get in entertainment VFX. I tried to help you. I’m going to devote my talents to faking news and history and you plebes will never know the difference.
Just like high school, I missed another mandatory class.
I slept right through it and I regret nothing.

“Man, I wish I had no regrets about some of the things I slept through.” – Deanna Favre
Given how inaccessible the broadcast of this game was, it’s been downgraded to “optionally mandatory”.
I got up at 11:08 this morning, wandered out to the garden, and now I’m having scrambled eggs with peppers and tomatoes for, I guess, brunch.
Today’s off to a decent start, even if it’s also half over.
A Carlin reminder:
Heaven is where the police are British, the cooks are French, the mechanics German, the lovers Italian and it’s all organised by the Swiss.
Hell is where the chefs are British, the mechanics French, the lover’s Swiss, the police German and it’s all organised by the Italians.
The singing of “Sweet Caroline” outside of BAHSTAHN should be grounds for immediate execution.
Booger is talking about ayahuasca on the Toy Story cast
Every kid knows MOAR about drugs than almost any adult. But yeah, that’s odd.
I ENJOY DRUGS. HELLO, KIDS
I do love watching Arthur Smith play the “field position” game down by 2 scores with less than three minutes left in the third quarter as though his team is capable of putting points on the board. He’s a graduate of “The [Shrugs] Hey, You Never Know” school of coaching.
He is very much going to kick a FG to cut the lead back to 10, if a 4th and short arises.

January’s hit comedy is getting renewed for the Autumn Season!
If they can hold on and win this one, Prison Gurlfren has promised the OK line beans and bangers.
I just checked on the Toy Story broadcast of the Jags game. Great tech. Very excited at the the future applications of just being able to listen to the 1985 Frank Gifford, O.J. Simpson, Joe Namath MNF booth team cover any event in AI.
they have the director with finger on the dump button in judgement day mode in case any of them go Jimmy the Greek mode
I’d like to see Toy Story Chuck Bednarik destroy Toy Story Frank Gifford.
The Picture of Dorian Thompson-Robinson to start today. Adjust your #ThePauls expectations accordingly.

I have totally checked out mentally from fantasy. And FFS, the byes ain’t even started.

Truth!
Why are you surprised? She was a fucking whore.
George also had a cuckold kink ,, ppl forget that
For the last time, just because she showed her ankles and bangs doesn’t make her a whore!

“Guys, if you’re the Jags . . .” If you’re the Jags you wonder who you pissed off to end up here.
Looks like there’s a bar with Red Zone about an hour walk away, might stroll over instead of watching the rest of this game… Although might watch this bizarre German tea time segment first
Schnell!
Are they doing a British bit here?
I assume so, and I’m very amused at the hideous floral lampshade they’re using to throw shade on the English
They have a real tendency to go full up frumpy on the decor.
Ja! Super!
13 minutes of stoppage time for Praise Beesus to find a winner.
Shouldn’t the animation gimmick/inculcation broadcast be Wallace and Gromit themed instead?
[raises hand] I’d watch the hell out of that.
Okay, that was mean. Toy Story animation just showed the Falcon’s o-line as three traffic cones and a crossing guard stop sign.
I’m a little disappointed to learn that “road cones” as they are called over there aren’t visibly different from American ones.
Is Ridder being portrayed as a
retSpecial Young Man?Bijan vs The Entire Jags D. Let’s see who wins.
[hears the words “Entire D”, makes dismissive wanking motion] – Deanna Farve
THESE JAGURAS I CALL THEM THE RAF IN WW2 BECAUSE THEY ARE INTERCEPTING A LOT OF STUFF IN THE AIR OVER LONDON
And they’re both causing lasting, untreated, un-talked-about brain injuries for generations to come!
Guys, I am just not quite sure Desmond Ridder is a legitimate franchise QB, SoUrry for the HAWT TAEK.
How about pulling that Ridder fella?

The Caribbean Delegation checks in, buenos días. We’ve been here a while, just making the breakfast chores. Mandarory Mimosas* to follow within the hour. Stash Status: must replenish by CIN @ TEN, keep paint thinner locked until 4th QRT
* +/- half bubbly, top with GOOD passion fruit cocktail
Arthur Smith might be available soon, to re-unite with el Tractorcito
Hah. Good thing I keep the thinner under key. HIDDEN key 😉👈🏼
It’s passion fruit season around here (and my own vine is growing nicely, though fruit won’t happen until next year). I was thinking of making passion fruit cocktails tonight, in fact.
Passion fruit is delicious. Passion fruit juice + any gin is bliss. With mezcal is 😛
The trick is making a GOOD passion fruit cocktail. You can either put the sseds in a colander and press awaywith a spoon (🎶no fucking way🎶), or liquefy evereything and then filter. The add enough sugar and water to nawt ruin it.
I’ve got two that I normally make – one is rum-based with lime and allspice dram, the other is gin-based with cardamom. For both I just dump the passion fruit innards into the shaker, mix it with everything else, and let the strainer do the work.
Let’s see some life on this DFO thread, kids.
Don’t make me come out there.
It’s 9:30 AM mom. You’re lucky I’m not just going right to bed!
I’ve been awake for three fucking days, kid. Don’t forget to say hi to your mom, I put your allowance between her tits. God bless.

MACHT YARDS!!
Oh hey! I found the game on a German channel!
Today I learned that ‘football move’ in German is ‘football move’
but like, way MOAR aggressive sounding I bets
[Sudetenland braces]
oh, they NOE they like it rough!
Fun Fact: The German version of Shan’Khor is Das Bootengott.
Forest on a red!
Looks like my hotel in Lisbon has lesser footy, bicycle racing, and snooker on the sports channels. Lol, gonna be a while before the NFL tries having a game here
Oh, and an interview with the Portuguese kempo team
Let’s go DUUUUUUUUVVVAAAAAAALLLLLLL
Is that Trevor Lawrence, the lanky redneck hippie hillbilly? I thought so!
In a shameful play for the DIRTY SOCIALIST YOUTH demographic, That’s Rikki’s Raiders! are starting AOC at quartered back.
Are they wearing a memorial patch for Diane Feinstein? or is that only the Cali teams?
Trent Green is wearing his “Feinstein 90” kit. While standing in a pool of his own urine, as is custom.
I believe you mean a “large Farva” at quarterback.
Apparently in the UK, refs turn to the other side of the field.
They turn their backs on the penalized team as a mark of dishonor.
The key to a Blood Mary is celery salt:

Dr Cox – No – YouTube
The Jaguras just stay across the pond all week? They just said they play the Mafia next Sunday morning, too (NFLN this time).
Sooo, “London Jaguars” very soon then?
You shut your dirty whore mouth!
But, yeah, probably inevitable.
as Shad Khan likes to say….Prepare Your Anus!
nd I have to say, Kay Adams boosting my .25 idiot parlay on FanDuel? That’s good marketing, Lou.
There is NOTHING we old farts like better than the pretend approval of an attractive young lady.
A Ridley catch in the endzone! Well, I never!
Since I cannot watch the game I’m watching this instead (which I’d not seen before):

What I always think of when I hear Bijan’s name:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rl7eailGzo8
I always think of Bijou Phillips, who is apparently, uh, newly single.
Putting Ridder in 3rd and long-I think we’ll see this quite a bit.
Watching the Toy Story animated version on Disney+. So far it’s been pretty underwhelming.
I would rather listen to Goofy call this game than Booger McFarland.
I’m here, what channel is this game on?
ESPN+ streaming. They’re trying to lure you in with a shitty game.
But you also get SO MUCH random Lesser Footy!
No no no nope! I’m not paying for that.
Exactly. I’m going with the Disney+ feed, even with Booger running his suck over everything.
It worked great for hockey. Football not so much.
Not paying for that either!
“Why Gumbygirl, you sounded like Mike Brown just then.”
College volleyball for us dirty old man volleyball fans.
AFN Sports
You know we get 10 AFN channels now… including a Sports 2.
What a world we’re living in! Do you still get the state quiz instead of commercials?
Several times daily
Channel YAAARRRRRR!
I’m still up tonight and where is the London game? I have FUBO and Amazon Prime and I don’t see it. I could Google it, but you are my Google.
Dang, I also have ESPN+ and I never knew it. I really need to do an audit here.
I’m convinced there is no Income Crisis; its only everyone hasn’t realized they have unused subscriptions that take up 65% of their income.
5% of my income
They let Cassidy Hutchinson sing the anthem? Awful sweet of them.
Falcons-Jaguars? It’s Thursday Night Football…on Sunday morning!
I think Inglen just did the DUUUUVVVVAAALLLLL shout!
I respect Mandatory Sunday Morning Football Open Threads but not enough to get ESPN+.
[pours straight gin into an unwashed glass, sits down on the couch]
Wait, this game isn’t even on real TV?
[downs gin in one gulp, goes back to bed]
It IS fucking night!!
I KNEW IT!
And a good afternoon to you all. I get to see a couple in my time warp.
I’ll bet Scotchy is referring to me, from yesterday. Oh those Canadian scampers!
