Your Monday Night NFL Football Open Thread

Well that was a weekend of games, wasn’t it? All but two games went under the Vegas total so there vast swathes of game time that featured much ado about nothing. Oh, and the injuries, wow. Myself, I’m safely in last place in Freezer Vodka, need 35 points from Herbert to get the W in MATH HARD! and Skull Fracture Boy blew the engine on his ’16 pickup. The hits keep coming!

Fallout:

-Prison Girlfriend has but three days to get his knee right because he’s under the lights this Thursday. Might a call to Aaron “I Did My Own Homework” Rodgers be in order?

-Nothing worse than steadily improving play from your qb during a Tankathon season. So I’ve no doubt that the news of Fields’ dislocated thumb was met with stifled giggles from the Bears front office. No doubt he’ll return with ‘all deliberate speed’.

-The Porta-Potty Row of lousy teams includes the Bears but starts with the Panthers and includes Denver, the Giants, the Pats and the Cards. Of course Caleb is the shiny toy but the mock draft I saw includes a UNC qb (Hippo spits on ground) the son of a Hall of Fame wr, an Edge and a couple of Fat Boys on the o-line.

To The Game!

Cowboys/Chargers:

-It’s always tough for me to make a call on a game between two teams that almost always shit the bed in big tilts. Not that this one has long-term ramifications but it is a stand-alone fixture.

-Ready yourself for lots of shots of Dallas fans in the stands. Have the Chargers ever really had a home game since they arrived in L.A.? It must be exceptionally bad when they play a squadoo whose fans travel well.

-“Ekeler’s Back!” Nope, that’s not what the Dolphins medical staff exclaimed while checking out his high ankle sprain. He’s finally returning. (sniffs haughtily, “Saquon was only out two weeks with a similar injury”)

-Did the Chargers fix their secondary during their bye week? They are a qb’s Afternoon (or Evening, as the case may be) Delight, surrendering an average of 329 passing yards per. There should be some improvement given that they get back both Bosa and Derwin James.

-Get ready for an earful of Kellen Moore talk-revenge game, revamping the offense, the parting of ways was mutual but he wants to win-and all the other usual crap.

Let’s do this again.

Ekeler has dropped about 4 points this half. Need a 40 point second half, sir.

I don’t want this getting lost further down, but since bum wine was mentioned…

There was some linguistic analysis of rap lyrics and one of the correlations that jumped out was that any rapper whose name included “Lil” had a very limited vocabulary.

Tickets for the Steelers at the Rams at SoFi next week start at $137.

With parking they start at $526.

fleshwound_NPG

that is a lot of money to watch a matt canada team score 17 points

ballsofsteelandfury

And lose

ballsofsteelandfury

I’m surprised there are tickets available.

Horatio Cornblower

The Chargers head coach is retar, intellectually challenged, and he’s still the second-dumbest head coach on this field.

He was a runner. WTH?

Troy just used the words “finger” and “bang” in the same sentence. No way he did that on purpose.

He vaguely remembers hearing his high school teammates talking about doing that with the cheerleaders.

Look, I enjoy your work, guy-who-voices-Joe-Swanson, but Barefoot Wine is what you drink if you’re out of Sutter Home.

jjfozz

Or Thunderbird

litre_cola

Both are abominations.

SonOfSpam

Even us non-somellyays know that

jjfozz

“I sampled Thunderbird, it was wrapped in a devil may care paper bag, that lent a certain ‘real world’ ambiance to this tasting. After unscrewing the festively colored cap, I inhaled hints of cigarette butts, human body odor, and piquant whiff of feces. I then realized that was emanating from the gentleman standing next to me. While the bouquet was pungent, the first taste carried hints of rubbing alcohol, rotting lemons, and the tang of cirrhosis. All in all, the perfect match when consuming half of a cold hot dog that’s been marinated in gutter water.”

OLIVIA MANNING: …Both are abominations.

Aikman just openly disgusted with the Dallas play-calling. Gotta love it.

“If that was me, I woulda thrown to Irvin, then run Emmitt on a draw, then hit Novacek for an easy TD and I’d be suckin a big dick at halftime, and wait that last part should’ve been quiet”

He meant doing loads of cocaine – M. Irvin.

“Light in the box” was Deanna Favre’s post coitus evaluation of Brett.

Horatio Cornblower

For now.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

And you can count. On him, waiting for you in the parking lot.

(don’t worry, after all those concussions there’s no way he’ll remember what he’s actually doing out there)

SoFi stadium is actually just down the street from me. I wonder how much it would be to get in from a scalper at halftime? (probably a lot because it’s Dallas)

Brick Meathook

Although tickets for CHI-LAC on Oct 29 are starting at $47

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Can’t imagine why.

(It’s the smell)

Brick Meathook

WAS-LAR Dec 17 starting at $32

Brick Meathook

CLE-LAR Dec 3 $32

Col. Duke LaCross

That was a really pricy ticket two months ago when I was thinking of going.

Brick Meathook

DET-LAC Nov 12 $54

Brick Meathook

Of course Steelers next week start at $157 to sit in the parking lot.

LemonJello

You can make that back “valet parking” for the rubes in attendance though, right?

Horatio Cornblower

The crowd’s louder for two Dallas completions than they were for the Chargers’ TD

LemonJello

The LA fans haven’t gotten to the game yet.

fleshwound_NPG

it wasnt quite as bad quite as often when they played in that soccer stadium

Brick Meathook

It was a junior college stadium

LemonJello

Troy showing some CTE signs trying to string words into a coherent sentence.

Horatio Cornblower

It’s been more noticeable lately. He’s going the Phil Simms route.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Uhh, that’s not Ekeler

Horatio Cornblower

Kellen Moore is going to hang 40 on Dallas tonight.

Good for him.

SonOfSpam

Wait…KELLEN MOORE SWITCHED TEAMS? WHY WON’T THEY TALK ABOUT IT???

litre_cola

Wait until I tell you about Jerome Bettis.

LemonJello

“Personal for Kellen Moore”

EVERYBODY DRINK!

jjfozz

When I was a youth, the Chargers were my favorite team.

This was when it was impossible to get jerseys, especially for a west coast team.

So this Chargers fan was walking past our seats and my father, god bless him, offered the dude $50 for his Jefferson jersey.

Guy said no, but that was a great memory for me.

Also, fuck the Irsays.

SonOfSpam

“Ok, $50 and you can do whatever you want to my son for 30 minutes.”

Another great story, well not so great.

My father was sitting with my uncles at a Colt’s game.

Drunk guy falls down the steps, his face hits the corner of those aluminum benches.

Forces his eye out of its socket.

My uncles try not to vomit.

My father takes out his handkerchief – always carried one – placed it over the guy’s face and walked him down to the first aid office.

Horatio Cornblower

“And that little boy grew up to be Angel Hernandez!”

Nope, Stuart Scott

The only one I’d be comfortable with is the Parsons sack. (Phrasing)

Oh right, October. The month the NFL pretends to care about women.

If anyone actually wants to do more than Goodell, hmu on slack. My annual (anti) breast cancer fundraiser is next month.

I’ve always been interested in the original climbers who conquered Mount Everest. I’m reading a book by Dan Simmons which is fiction mixed with fact, plenty of great information about methods, equipment, etc.

Then I went on YouTube and looked up summiting Everest and was immediately repulsed by the rich assholes who basically pay large sums to walk up the mountain via preplanned paths and assisted by guides.

And of course, the entire mountain is littered with all types of debris and garbage.

We are a virus that needs to be cleansed.

LemonJello

Don’t forget the dead bodies littered along the way as well!

jjfozz

Yes, it’s a very odd “tradition.”

Horatio Cornblower

It’s not a tradition, it’s too damn dangerous to go up to those altitudes and try to haul a dead body back down.

Personally I’d just kick them loose and slide them down into a crevasse or over a ledge but apparently that “disrespectful to the dead” and “violating a corpse” or some other such nonsense.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’m pretty sure the Simpsons addressed how to deal with that situation.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RpzYLOx67A

jjfozz

Or set them on fire and toast marshmallows, although not sure fire would burn with the altitude. Worth a shot

Horatio Cornblower

Hate these Dallas uniforms.

I’m not much of a fan, but he’s made me laugh enough times that I bear him no ill will.

Brick Meathook

Pete Davidson and Trevor Noah are both mysteries to me. Neither is funny nor belongs on television, and I’m right.

King Hippo

You are right indeed.

jjfozz

I asked the young kid I worked with what he did this weekend – something about cross fit, doing burpees, and relaxing.

His age, I was getting fucking wasted, smoking too many cigarettes, and making unsuccessful runs at women.

This generation is a bunch of weenies.

WCS

Q: What’s got Fozz pissed today?

A:comment image

LemonJello

If a gif could be a banner, this one deserves it.

jjfozz

Very long list. From the fucking assholes driving their Tesla’s (apparently when you buy one you are allowed to drive like you own the road) to the fuckwit client that rejects every project I come up with to me almost falling asleep on the way home because I slept like shit last night and was up at 530 am

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

A nice episode of Emily in Paris should calm you right down. Might I suggest Episode 6, where Emily blows her firm’s chance at landing an important client but later rectifies her mistake by barging into his box at the opera and bonding with him over their mutual love of Gossip Girl.

jjfozz

God jesus christ, OKAY! I will watch tomorrow. Christ, this series sounds like a thick slice of hell.

ballsofsteelandfury

He didn’t say he “worked out” because people that do cross fit can’t shut the fuck up about cross fit.

It’s like the Anti-Fight Club.

LemonJello

It’s a cult*.

*No, not a cure, Gumby.

Brick Meathook

because people that do cross fit can’t shut the fuck up about cross fit.

same with vegans and atheists

King Hippo

Ask Me About Vegan Athiest Cross-Fit, Bruh!!

Brocky

I actually know someone like that.

You would never know it talking to them

jjfozz

Vegans should be tied down and force fed head cheese on meatloaf until they fucking rupture
