Your Thursday Night NFL Football Open Thread

Welcome back! There was some quality participation in various threads last week and it was great seeing the usuals come hard after taking the summer off. That’s some good commentin’!

Notes:

-The Pac 12 is rising slowly from…something. Basically they offered membership to any school with State after their name and [waves hands around] a general West-ish location. So welcome aboard Fresno State, Boise State, Colorado State and San Diego State. Oregon State and Washington State breath a huge sigh of relief.

-Looks like Malik Willis starts at least one game for Green Bay after being acquired in late August. My only notion of him is that he’s really, really raw.

-Detroit Lions legend Joe Schmidt passed away at the age of 92. For those that may not know, he was one of the most prominent remaining links to the excellent Lions teams of the 50’s. As a linebacker he was the gold standard in that his no-nonsense play caused folks to compare Butkus to him when the latter first entered the league. He was an eight-time All Pro and get this, he coached the team from the mid-sixties to the early 70’s and had a career winning record!

To The Game!

Bills/Fins:

-Rodgers loves to blither about owning Chicago but Josh Allen is 11-2 vs Miami and has thrown for two or more TD’s in every game.

-James Cook’s best buddy just might be OC Joe Brady. Since Ken Dorsey was fired Cook’s usage has gone bananas though I think he’s a bit too small for this kind of work. Then again, it’s not like he gets those goal line carries. He’s a good fit between the 20’s for the most part. I figure Ray Davis would get some action there but did I get sniped? Yes.

-Mostert is out and Achane is limping and a game-timer. Are we going to get a Jeff Wilson day? McDonald brought him onboard from San Fran because he’s trustworthy in pass protection but he’s a bit of a plodder which doesn’t fit the speed-demon profile that Miami’s backs tend to have. Rookie Jaylen Wright fits that bill but it might be too early in his development.

-Ex-Bills safety Jordan Poyer and his punctured lung have been cleared to play for the Fins but not to fly home. Something’s wrong there, just can’t put my finger on it.

I’m impressed Tua can even play without a brain

Big Ben was powered by R–

King Hippo

I’m not paying very good attention to this sportsball contest, and worried that Ginger Hammer will be disappoint with me.

ArmedandHammered

It is not attention that he is worried about you not paying. Buy a fucking Jersey from the official shop already!

Unsurprised

Nice hat. Is that Cam?

Doktor Zymm

Oops, forgot to replace the Dolphins D in Freezer Vodka

A loss to BGR’s autodraft would not be good. The bastards drafted him 2 kickers high.

Doktor Zymm

At least it can’t get worse than -4….

Unsurprised

It can’t get worse … YET

King Hippo

Hard to describe just how goddamned difficult that throw was. And it was PERFECT

jjfozz

ARE THESE FUCKHEAD REFS GOING TO CALL HOLDING?

fleshwound_NPG

one team made cops look bad this week and the refs are gonna stand in solidarity

Gatoraids

blaxabbath

My wife just brought me mexican food.

The day she gets rid of me and takes half my smokes is gonna be unwelcome.

Unsurprised

Tyreek is proof that SPITE is a powerful motivator.

Doktor Zymm

This is true, they even made a t-shirt about it, and a t-shirt wouldn’t lie!

litre_cola

This shirt is brilliant.

Unsurprised

Indeed. Shame I only wear solid color tees.

Gatoraids

so has Tua’s and Cousins agent

Wakezilla

So the refs aren’t going to call holding on the Bills all game but they will on the Dolphins? Sounds about right

blaxabbath

There’s a car at my gym with plate WNBAPG.

At least I’m hanging with professional athlete women (possibly retired).

Randy Moss and Jason Williams were teammates on the 1994 DuPont HS basketball team. Somehow they lost the championship game. Randy Moss is still salty about it.

Top Amazon and NFL dudes in the same booth. That my friends is a vortex of evil.

ArmedandHammered

Probably the other way around.

Unsurprised

Bezos would wipe his ass with an NDA

If Kamala convinces Joe to send a drone strike to that booth, she wins in November. Even The Donald will vote for her; he’ll just deny it but we all know he will.

Someday AI might be able to highlight small things like a football or baseball or basketball or tennis ball in order to help viewers track it on the screen. The “Glow Ball” they could call it. But we’re just not there yet.

welcome aboard Fresno State, Boise State, Colorado State and San Diego State. 

They’re rebuilding the fucking WAC.

It worked so great the first time, why not bring back a classic?

Sure, Canva, every office is like that when planning a presentation. Get fucked.

It’s a fucking job. I don’t want to love. Just let me do my job duties and then clock THE FUCK OUT AT FIVE

Volkswagen: For the last time, quit asking us about 1935-1945!

WCS

And anything about diesel fuel emissions!

Unsurprised

VW leaving Germany is so fucking funny. If only the Germans had a word for this feeling.

Wakezilla

Fuck. Everyone Chosen Robbie to be the weak link today.

My hot take is that Ramsey should have been our WR3 tonight

clint greasewood

Why don’t the Bills just throw those cops that caught Hill into their secondary for a game?

ballsofsteelandfury

I read that like Lrrrr

comment image

Redshirt

The asshole in me justs love the fact that Hill was admitted being kinda rude and then as if summoned by fate, Buford T. Justice the IV comes down to open a can of whoop-ass.

If it wasn’t horrifically sad, it’d be poetic.

ArmedandHammered

I have seen videos of people (white) being complete assholes and all they say is good day. A black driver may as well get down on the ground face first when pulled over.

Redshirt

Yup. I’m pro-police but even I’m getting tired of the rotten apples.

Unsurprised

Good. Fuck the police. Their fucking job is literally to act professionally when people are at or acting their worse. This is the biggest bullshit excuse these losers can muster. Fucking pussies. If him being rude is too much for them, they are too big a bunch of losers to do the job.

Doktor Zymm

That fucker is killing my fantasy time

Dolphins hiring of Wile E Coyote as Offensive Coordinator bringing an explosive offense

Welll, except that one time. AT CAMP. (wink wink)

Brocky

So I googled his family, saw his wife was a cheerleader, and spent a good five minutes looking at cheerleaders.

Where was I going with this?

King Hippo

You see what keeps me writing my JV column on Saturdays, even if only like 3 ppls read it

ballsofsteelandfury

I’m one of the three!

ArmedandHammered

I read it. Not sure I fully understand it, but I do read it.

Redshirt

You were about to post the SFW cheerleaders with directions to the NSFWs?

If you said me, I’d believe that. My hips are shot

King Hippo

in truth, you DO fuck an awful lot.

Doktor Zymm

Redshirt

I’m convinced his hip is shattered into pieces but they are in enough shape to still be functional. Like moving gears instead of a ball and socket joint.

Wakezilla

It’s criminal that the Dolphins don’t wear these jerseys as their primary ones

Wakezilla

All aboard the Achane, baby! Choo Choo!

jjfozz

I’m -.46 right now in my fantasy league because Tua is a fucking bonehead

WCS

I’d thought that read .46 and just assumed that was your BAC.

jjfozz

Not tonight, for some reason I feel like shit. Maybe a gummie.

Brocky

…..

jjfozz

I loathe both candidates, so I’m writing in my choice. Here’s the short list:

  1. John Holmes
  2. Casper the Friendly Ghost
  3. That dude who bought me beer in the parking lot when I was 14
  4. The MILF i almost fucked when I was 21
  5. Aunt Jemima
ballsofsteelandfury

Always go with the MILF

jjfozz

I was inches from closing the deal. Pardon the pun.

Unsurprised

I’ll write in the MILF.

He looks kinda Haitian . . .

In the words of my grandfather:

that is both racist and accurate

So I see the Cheeto has been keeping company with 911 conspiracy theorist Loomer. Good times.

She saw Jean-Ralphio’s life not as a warning, but a life goal.

Good place, right person to exchange racist jokes. The SUPER obvious ones.

Redshirt

Even MTG thinks she’s racist and batshit insane.

WHEN MAJORIE TAYLOR GREENE BECOMES THE VOICE OF REASON, SHIT HAS GONE COMPLETED SIDEWAYS!!!!

Unsurprised

This fucking dipshit created a fan club for ISIS to own the libs only to get owned by the administration for creating AN ISIS FUCKING FAN CLUB

Okay, so you’re in “meat” sales and distribution. Now disposal seems so much easier.

Senor Weaselo

And now, great moments in soundcheck: Senor playing the world’s smallest violin track.

One person (the cellist) got the joke, so mission accomplished!

King Hippo

In The Devil Went Down to Georgia….don’t you agree that Old Scratch played better? I don’t even find it particularly close.

fleshwound_NPG

except for their slightly different late 80s/early 90s jerseys the phins should never stray from this uni set

Redshirt

Anything but the sun orange ones.

Gatoraids

yeah the slightly lighter aqua ones anything but the newer derpy dolphin logs

Redshirt

Out of all the issues with the NFL’s names, mascots and logos, the fish having a helmet wasn’t even on the list.

fleshwound_NPG

just put down $1k in repairs to the wifeys car, and around half of that was rear brakes/rotors that my dad messed with 4 years ago and probably fucked up

i demand good thursdaykkake tonight

Due to “manufacturer parts only,” I found out it’s going to cost $1150 to replace the turn signal in mine.

Cool.

fleshwound_NPG

they offered to replace my key fob (which is held together by electric tape)

150 fucking dollars

fuck off, tape is practically free

King Hippo

No Pennsyltucky driver has ever used his turn signal. I call shenanigans.

WCS

Did I say (type?) anything about using it?

Gumbygirl

He just needs it for the inspection sticker.

WCS

The lady Yinzer is on the trolley.

King Hippo

A $50 bribe makes way MOAR sense!

King Hippo

(or even a blowie, we’re talking FOUR FIGURES here)

ballsofsteelandfury

You should have bought a BMW and then you wouldn’t need to worry about it

fleshwound_NPG

holy shit, the montana/marino bowl was 40 years ago, and is the last time the phins have been to the superb

the bears have been twice since

Redshirt

I’m about to play car service craps in a few weeks. And I’m due for that phone call…

“Mr. Redshirt? We took a look at your car and there some issues that need addressed.”

WCS

Damn it, Redshirt, again? When they’re dead, they’re just hookers! We’ve been over this!

Redshirt

Yeah, yeah, I know. You were very clear during the Screw Than Kill Incidents of ‘18.

Doktor Zymm

I kinda want to order shame pizza, but ever since I noticed how much more expensive it is in California compared to Chicago I’ve been irritated enough not to

blaxabbath

Yes! The consumer decides!

Unsurprised

Get a shame CALZONE instead

Hey, we messed up with Trump but we got Ro… wait…

McCain was a worthy…oh, yeah, Palin.

But Bush 43 was… oh, we have to get Cheney and his cabinet too.

Dole was…old and we were pretty much conceding it anyway.

Bush 41 wasn’t that bad…though again Dukakis you were also conceding it that time.

Reagan! Reagan was good…except for the drugs…and AIDS…and trickle down economics.

Ford. … he was pardoned Nixon but everyone was okay with that kinda.

Nixon. Yeah.

Eisenhower. He made interstates?

Yeah, I’m stopping now. I’m about to bring up Dewey, Wilkie and Smith. That’ll get me to depressed and I haven’t even made it to Hoover or Coolidge yet.

ballsofsteelandfury

If you go down that route, do the Democrats too.

Biden
Obama
Clinton
Carter

Who else?

Redshirt

McGovern.
LBJ.
JFK.
Stevenson twice.
Truman.
FDR.

Redshirt

Since I penciled in Hoover and Coolidge, you can throw in Smith and Davis. Plus Landen was in ‘36, not Smith.

That’s an awful offseason idea. Do a recap of every Presidential election.

blaxabbath

I don’t know how they grade sand.

But coarse.

King Hippo

also in case didn’t see other thread, vicuprofen is the best, readily-prescribed PILL GOD for back/neck muscle ailments. Can also get metaxalone as a non-drowsy muscle relaxer for working hours and such.

blaxabbath

Thank you!

I’ll see what the neighbor girl can divert from me on her shift tonight. Just kidding she’s an NP and these women on the street are swapping pills like it’s some kind of nursing home pog tournament.

ooooh, she got nice shoulders? AND low standards, maybe?

the MOAR distance in any relationship with Hippo, the happier the poor gal will be. TRUST ME.

I would fucking love Montana and Montana State to join the PAC 12. Montana is expanding its stadium to 30k.

King Hippo

Ayo can then be the PAC-8 Bastard Man Commisioner!

blaxabbath

They gotta bring on Hawaii.

King Hippo

PAC-9, and now you’re Ayo’s lieutenant

litre_cola

Can I have Montana? It’s too raciststy in Idaho.

WCS

You’ll get a Dakota and like it.

litre_cola

North, all day. Hockey at UND and football at NDSU. Also top 3 pizza that I have ever had in my life in Bismarck! Been there 3 times over 10 years, has never changed from perfection. Close your eyes you are in Italy. In a brewery to boot!

King Hippo

Wait, there’s a Texas STATE?? And why they not in PAC-7????

So instead of flying south for the winter, the geese in OH are flying south to avoid the Haitians?

All those people who bitch about Tee’s work ethic are the same people whose posted their comments while on the way to the casino with the unemployment and welfare checks partially funded by my paychecks.

Because if anyone understands the plight of the poor white man, it the blue blood who was born with a silver spoon shoved up his ass.
