Your Monday Night Staggered NFL Football Offerings Open Thread (with bonus pic of kids showing Anthony Richardson how to slide)

I mean, we can’t call it a double-header, can we? Just a quick note-I’m getting bum-rushed in both Math Hard! and Freezer Vodka and the injuries are piling up and I’ll be winless in both leagues. YAY!

To The Games!

Titans/Fins:

-Will Levis-there’s room for improvement. Folks that drafted Cal Ridley might be wondering why he has underperformed. The folks at a certain fantasy site point to a stat of theirs that avers that he’s been thrown a catchable ball 56% of the time!. If said Levis wants to hold on to his job he’s going to want to make better decisions. He has two pick-sixes and two strip sacks to his name already in this young season.

-But there’s good news! The Titans haven’t lost to Miami on Monday night.

-Snoop Huntley is back! Great. Tyreek playing without Tua, he’s a shadow of himself-he averages 68 (whew!) yards receiving per game and has no TD’s at all.

-The Fins onky scored three points last week, the lowest total since coach McDaniels came on board. Right now they’re the worst scoring offense in the NFL.

Seahawks/Lions:

-Zach Charbonnet is doing backup rb right. Last week he ran for 91 and scored a deuce of TD’s. This week he stands aside and let’s Kenneth Walker take over lead back duties.

-No Balls, No Glory? That seems to be the case with Geno so far-he’s thrown into the endzone all of one time so far this year.

-All He Does Is Score-David Montgomery has barged into the endzone in six straight affairs.

-Memories of Legions of Boom Past? Seattle is the best team vs the pass. [looks at notes] Huh, they’ve played against Skylar, Nix and Brissett. If they weren’t the best I’d be wondering.

-He’s So Close! Dan Campbell is 25-26-1 career-record wise as a coach. He’ll get to a winning record at some point and join the illustrious group that is Potsy Clark, Buddy Porter, George Wilson, Joe Schmidt, Garry Moeller and Jim Caldwell as Lions coaches that somehow won more games than they lost. That’s 20% of all coaches that have led Detroit.

Always enjoy someone sliding on these new artificial turf surfaces. Three yards and a cloud of toxic rubber scraps.

Oh hey all the teams have the same tartan, woo for the fuck cancer tartan!

It looks like it has every teams colors in it. Pretty cool. I like it on the ski caps too.

BC Dick

I’m so glad we got razor wire thin accuracy on that play. It only took 13 minutes to satisfy my desire for a football game to become a math equation. Her. Raw.

Gumby used to work with a Lithuanian lady. She brought us back some delicious mead when she went home once.

Doktor Zymm

Lithuania has the best beer food in the world, the best brandy, the best so many things. Nawt surprised they have amazing mead

Horatio Cornblower

His backup is my only hope of somehow not getting relegated out of the Lowratio League, so this is good news for me.

Not so much for McCaffrey.

Bogdanski

And yet I can’t beat the team starting him for some reason. Along with out-in-the-first-quarter Anthony Richards. Fuck 0 points Kyle Pitts and fuck me for missing 9 points for playing the wrong d (i played bills v ravens vs chargers v chiefs).

Depends what league.

Gonna be 2-2 in my cash league, but I still love my team and 2-2 is very much in it. I’m having a vibe year for fantasy football.

Yes, wait wait comes through again!

I do occasionally get these weird news things from other sources but you are totally right that I learned of this one from wait, wait.

I’m in chicago enough i should go to a taping

That’s skibidi rizz, or whatever the fuck the kids say.

Thanks/how dare you! Not sure, could be either!

TIL that SoFi went public via a SPAC then de-SPACed a year later. Sketchy as fuck

I just proposed Williams for andrews in a FF league to my wife as I am only missing a te and I am solid for this lge. She accepted and Williams tears one

Doktor Zymm

No one has a TE, Lady Cola got the best of that deal

Related: getting rid of kickers is passe, the hot new thing is getting rid of TEs and subbing in a WR/TE flex

4th and an inch and you waste a timeout challenging the spot?

That’s a Re… VERY SPECIAL decision!

They figured, correctly, that was their best shot of getting the first down. Which is sad.

Here’s the product photo, the tabletop locks in place over the open doors and when it’s closed you can just slide it into a small storage space.

That’s cool. I like all the storage too

This is what I get for trusting the Miami defense. To be fair, I was expecting Will Levis incompetence. Instead I got Mason Rudolph slightly more competent.

Doktor Zymm

The perfidious curse of the slightly more reliable backup QB!

I saw Fronk’s early comment re: Huntley vs Rudolph and the horror of having to watch them in week 4 but five years ago who could have imagined Jared Goff vs Geno Smith would be, at very least, cromulent. What a world

Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield agree.

NFL is gonna force us to watch the Tits/Fins slap flight

twitter/X is now valued at 9.4 billion, 79% decrease

now, if you want to invest in something that could be worth money soon, invest in bone saws soon to be sold in saudi arabia

Unsurprised

Elon did a great thing for Saudi Arabia by being stupid. The Saudi government was one of the five largest owners when it was public. KSA underwrote his court-ordered purchase. Kingdom of Saudi Arabia now owns Twitter almost entirely as it owns Elon by the balls. In case you haven’t noticed, they’ve been exploiting the fuck out of that fact.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The funny thing is that that’s almost the exact same decline in value as Truth Social since the day Trump took over the company.

Sitting at the table last night at the wedding.

My wife’s cousin’s husband – who believes 5G can kill you – dropped this bon mot:

“LeBron James is a Satanist because he was at one of Diddy’s parties.”

“Really? I’d like to see some receipts on that bullshit.”

He didn’t talk to me the rest of the night, which was awesome.

Dunstan

A lot of nutjobs rely very heavily on the assumption that other people will be too polite to call them nutjobs in social situations. It can be fun to see their reaction when they realize you’re not playing that game.

one of the very few good things about the internet

back in the day it was harder to spot the morons, or know if your neighbor/etc was a fuckwit. because there is more conspiracy sewage to consume, and encouraged to share, it has made it easier than ever

there are not more of these people, the masks are all gone

He’s a fucking twerp. Whenever he’s around, and one of my kids asks a question – or acts a fool – he’ll say, “I’m so glad i never had kids.”

Yeah, me too because then you would be producing more ignorant assholes for the world to deal with.

Also, my kids have nicknamed him “Bubbles” since he closely resembles that character on Trailer Park Boys, but just not as good looking.

fleshwound_NPG

miami is gonna tank to draft another QB to kill later

Doktor Zymm

“shit, that was my plan!”
– Panthers, Browns, Tits, Bears

Spur

Panthers win the #1 pick in the draft. Shedeur Sanders vows not to play for them. Dallas trades Dak and a few picks for the #1 draft pick.

Doktor Zymm

Both games are two scores to one score. This is where the similarity ends

WCS

Not true. They’re both on TV.

fleshwound_NPG

now three scores to one!

On both, creepy!
