Your Thursday Night NFL Football Open Thread

What have we got here? Ah, it’s the old ‘mirror game’ (8-2 vs 2-8) and it’s a divisional tilt so anything can happen. [snorts] C’mon, we know how this ends. At one point the Steelers were 3-2 and then a certain package of crushed monkey testicles from the Honduras ‘magically’ appeared and was ‘accidentally’ burned over a fire made of the doors of an abandoned insane asylum. Next thing you know the Steelers reel off five straight wins.

Minutaie:

-Piling On The Jets: Sauce Gardner threw his new coach under the bus, saying that tackling wasn’t an issue. Who badly missed a tackle last week? The same guy that hasn’t recorded an interception in 35 games. As a Jets starter, Rodgers winning percentage is lower than both Zach’s and Sam’s. Woody Johnson acknowledged that he considered benching Rodgers-if you can count on anything, it’s MAGA types throwing their kin under the bus.

-Useless Gabe Davis is done for the season after getting some meniscus surgery done. This does not affect the Jags outlook in any way whatsoever.

-NFL Security has sent out a ‘Burglary Alert” after the homes of Mahomes and Kelce were broken into. In related news, Nick Bosa’s velvet painting of Jesus kissing Trump’s feet is now under lock and key.

-The Seahawks facility is still without power due to yet another weather phenomenon being described in war terms. (Bomb Cyclone?) Not asked for comment by anyone, Pete Carroll opined, “This totally has the fingerprints of the ghost of Kenneth Lay all over it!”.

To The Game!

Steelers/Browns:

-Jameis Winston’s O/U for interceptions is .5. Put a mortgage on your house RIGHT NOW and get in on the over.

-Can Haz Blizzard?: Weather is calling for rain and gusty, busty winds (please feel free to post pics of busty weather patterns below) for this tilt. The O/U for the game is around 37. DRAIN YOUR SAVINGS ACCOUNT AND PUT IT ALL ON THE UNDER!

-Related To Above: The Steelers kicker Boswell was responsible for all of their points last week. It’s the second time this year that he’s accomplished that. It won’t be the last. Why? Because the Steelers are goddamn boring, that’s why.

-Winston has never played against the Steelers. I’ve the notion he’s going to be feeling crabby after the game and not in the usual way.

-I Laughed: Stefanski, who is feeling a bunch of pressure from the usual social media crowd, claims he’s not bothered. He cites the fact that he grew up listening to Philly sports radio as a reason that he’s inured against the relentless squawking.

Have at it.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuckity Fuck.

I was told the Steelers defense was good.

ArmedandHammered

In comparison to what?

litre_cola

Shitty defenses. Where is the pressure on Crab Legs???

Doktor Zymm

was it a Samoan guy with fabulous hair who told you that?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Jason Momoa? He’s actually Hawaiian. Shame on you for implying they all look the same.

Doktor Zymm

Polamalu, but I will condescendingly pretend it’s understandable that you would confuse the two while simultaneously talking shit about you to my Tongan neighbor

ballsofsteelandfury

They are. It’s the offense that’s not as advertised

Doktor Zymm

Only team to put up 20 on the Chargers until the Bengals last week

Wait a sec here. Is it still the 2nd or is my Amazon feed slow?

I’m jacked up on a dozen barbiturates so help me out folks.

I could settle a lot of scores with an operational tank. But, I’d rather do it with a Panzer, mostly because of all the Sgt. Rock comics I read growing up.

It matches the national mood that no one cares about the AFC North.

Every fucking Thursday seeing the Prime panel ‘New Boot goofin” before the halftime show throws me into Fozz level rage.

Things I’m going to print on the 3D printer for Xmas gifts

Pentagram – for my mother in law
Bottles of bourbon – for me
Replica of Thor’s hammer – to smack my kids with during Xmas morning
Pinhead replica mask – to add spice to Xmas dinner

ArmedandHammered

Dude, I look forward to the reports about your family dinners, makes me miss mine.

jjfozz

Well, the lineup for Thanksgiving looks to be a good one.

My sisters and mother will cry cause my dad died in October.

My sister’s husband will be fucking blind drunk. He gets quite nasty. It is a blessed experience.

His mother, who once regaled us with her first semi-lesbian experience at Christmas dinner, will be there.

Also, my sister’s sister in law – who looks like a pig – will be there. She is married to a black guy, and it’s a small blessing my dad won’t be there because his dementia caused him to say some um, pretty racist shit.

THEN we go to my sister in law’s house to hang out with the Trumper Jesus Bible Thumpers.

I’ll wear a body cam and bring back all of this to DFO.

ArmedandHammered

And for your own protection as well?

Unsurprised

Call Trump all the things your dad called your … brother in law in law?

Redshirt

My family dinner went from a gentle 10 persons to a gargantuan 28. I expect to be on the news next Thursday night.

Unsurprised

A MAGA crowd that big without the big guy?

Gumbygirl

Fuck, Wilson! That guy barely touched him

LemonJello

What’s Groper Cleveland doing on the opposing sideline?

jjfozz

Two bare chested Browns fans, even though it’s November, I bet they smell like rotten entrails.

Doktor Zymm

How can you tell over the stench of Cleveland?

jjfozz

To be fair, it’s all the same stench

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It smells like burning river.

Beerguyrob

They’re the ones not on fire.

Doktor Zymm

Someone was telling me about this Hundreds of Beavers movie, thinking I’ll have to check it out

Unsurprised

Shit. That reminds me that I could still go see Anora in an hour.

Doktor Zymm

If you do, let me know how it is. I’m gonna be in Chicago all next week and it’s playing at Music Box

litre_cola

80’s porn?

BC Dick

Nursing homes can be very erotic.

jjfozz

That’s what they’re calling the Rockette’s show this holiday season?

BC Dick

Hundreds of beavers and not a tail to slap.

Beerguyrob

The lesbian version of the Houston 500?

BaldingSpiritually

Dave Doeren’s halftime speech to his team: You know, when you were a baby in your crib, your father looked down at you, he had but one hope – “Someday, my son will grow to be a man.” Well look at you now; you just got your asses whipped, by a bunch of goddamn nerds.

We returned that motherfucking 3D printer. But luckily, we ordered another one.

Jesus, just go outside and throw bottles at passing cars. That was fun when I was growing up.

litre_cola

We used to throw hockey pucks at cars in North Winnipeg. Nobody ever stopped because they knew. They knew.

Doktor Zymm

That’s one of the most Canadian things

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The only way it could get more Canadian is if they drizzled maple syrup or poutine on the pucks before throwing them.

ArmedandHammered

And waste either?

Doktor Zymm

I assume all the cars were on their way to the poutine shoppe

jjfozz

Or maybe the Mackenzie Brothers Film Festival

litre_cola

Silly yanks, they were on their way to the fur trapping festival.

ArmedandHammered

Is that where they are showing “Hundreds of Beavers”?

jjfozz

i remember being about 5 years old, standing on the top of my sliding board and hucking dirt bombs at cars passing on what was a relatively busy street. well, we pegged a guy really good, he pulled over and came storming into the yard, screaming at us.

My father came out and said, “Hey, if you want to kick his ass. Go ahead.”

The guy yelled and left. Then my mother and father got in my grill. Big time.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

If Tammy Reid had divorced Andy in 1990 or so and married your dad instead, Garrett would still be alive and would be a successful district attorney working closely with the city’s popular three-term mayor, Britt.

BRICK MEATHOOK UPDATE

In response to many of your requests about my condition, I still have a common cold that is, thanks to Jesus Our Lord and my lovely Mormon wife, is healing up nicely aided by OTC cough syrup, cheap vodka, opiates, and some chili.

Thank you for your support.

BUT DOES SHE HAVE UTAH HAIR?

Brick Meathook

HELL YEAH.

I insist, she obeys.

I think I caught a stuffy nose from you through the internet tubes

Everybody’s got it. Not the flu, not Covid, just the common cold.

Chili is a good idea, it cuts through the snot.

Prayers – “Please God, show this fucker the login screen”

THAT’S GREAT HUSTLE!

Can we finally shitcan the “Steelers fans travel well” narrative? People from all over America root for those assholes because they don’t have anything better to do.

I’m thinking many of them traveled to Cleveland, it’s a two hour drive.

Horatio Cornblower

Yeah, but to Cleveland.

jjfozz

But it feels like a lifetime spent in hell.

Our favorite sports bar was infested with them down in Miami, best side was that they usually spent all their time blaming and fighting with each other

5. Music. Write a piano concerto. Orchestrate and perform it with flute and drum. You will find a piano under your seat.

6. Engineering. The disassembled parts of a high power rifle have been placed in a box on your desk. You will also find an instruction manual printed in Swahili. In 10 minutes a hungry Bengal tiger will be admitted to the room. Take whatever action you feel is appropriate. Be prepared to justify your decision.

7. Sociology. What sociological problems might accompany the end of the world? Construct and experiment to test your theory.

8. Management Science. Define management. Define science. How do they relate? Create a generalized algorithm to optimize all managerial decisions. Assuming a Cray X-MP supercomputer supporting 50 terminals, each terminal to activate your algorithm, design the communications interface and all necessary control problems.

Based on your knowledge of their works, evaluate the emotional stability, degree of adjustment, and repressed frustration of each: Alexander of Aphrodisias, Ramses II, Gregory of Nicea, and Hammurabi. Support your evaluation with quotations from each man’s work. It is not necessary to translate.

10. Economics. Develop a realistic plan for refinancing the national debt. Trace the possible effects of your plan on these areas: Cubism, The Donatist Controversy, and the wave theory of light.

11. Epistemology. Take a position for or against truth. Prove the validity of your position.

12. Classical Physics. Explain the nature of matter. Include in your answer an evaluation of the impact of the development of mathematics on science.

13. Modern Physics. Produce element 119. Determine its half-life.

14. Energy Resources. Construct a working fusion reactor.

15. Philosophy. Sketch the development of human thought. Estimate its significance. Compare this with the development of any other kind of thought.

16. General Knowledge. Describe in detail, briefly.

17. Extra Credit. Define the universe. Give three examples.

LemonJello

Seems like a lot to ask of a nuclear reactor to answer all of these.

ArmedandHammered

I thought he found the list a woman wanted me to complete before she would date me.

There’s no way a tiger takes out a lion.

Huh. I guess they would – and have! The Romans used to match them up against each other in the Coliseum and the tigers would usually win.

Gumby and I watched that game in the bar of the William Penn hotel. We were there for a giant hotel ballroom New Years Eve party. It was a total bacchanal!

blaxabbath

And I love the Steelers fans and their chip with the Terrible Towels. I mean, it ain’t more than it is but that’s a legit cultural attachment that’s pretty neat. Having it associated with team success is probably part of it.

RTD should get one when the Raiders finally break him in 2026 and he just needs his first win in like 13 months.

Totally agree on the two bets. HOWEVAH, this is a trap game for the Steelers. I would not be surprised if they drop it.

They are not that good that anyone should think they would walk all over the Browns. I could see this game being a low scoring slog and Cleveland catching a break at the end to win the game.

blaxabbath

Bullshit. Cleveland fucking sucks and Tomlin is dealing right now.

ballsofsteelandfury

They do, but the Steelers haven’t blown anyone out. They’ve all been close games. Plus, division rival and the Steelers just beat the Ravens, which is a big rival. It’s still a tough game

Let’s be honest. The Panthers upsetting the Swifts are more likely than a Bolts-Poes Double Loss and the Bengals figuring out that running the same three zone defense plays doesn’t work.
