Substitute Week 12 Early Window NFL Thread

Good morning, reprobates.  Scotchy had some fresh hobos to skinfamily bidness to take care of, so y’all stuck with me.  You get paroled for SNF, when Litre takes over.  To the action!

Vikings (-3.5) at Bearistocrats (Fox)

Touch of Downs continues to show signs of hard regression to the paste-eater we all know and mostly tolerate.  Will he go full-you-know-what against the surprisingly competent Chi**** pass defense?  Will the home crew score enough points for it to matter?

Lions (-7.5) at Fat Humps (Fox)

I wanted to try and sell this as a potential banana skin, but couldn’t keep a straight face.  Runaway NFC freight train continues unabated to the Lombardi.

P*ts (+7.5) at LOLfins (CBS)

Finally, a home favoUrite, and Tua seems to be getting a bit of his mojo back.  Though let’s not make him think too hard about that stuff.  Drake Maye has been doing his best “Bad Josh Allen” impression, which is still a whole lot better than the Massholes faithful have been used to seeing under centre.  Sleeper good matchup.

Bucs (-6) at Vertically Enhanced Persons (CBS)

OK, fine.  I can’t think of anything nice to stay here.  Good news, Jerseyites!  You are free of the Dimebag boogeyman.  The bad news is…everything else.  MRSA Men have a very soft defense to welcome Dr. Mantiss Toboggan back to the active roster.

Non-Gendered Cowpersons (+10.5) at Commies (Fox)

No seriously, this is a game that will actually happen.  Just be thankful it wasn’t cemented into the SNF window or sommet.  Cooper Rush is gonna have a bad time.  Dok Zymm will have quite the opposite.

Chefs (-10.5) at Black Panthers (CBS)

Ah, the universe snaps back into balance, with a 10.5-point road dog to balance out the Commies rawdogging of the ‘Persons.  Let’s just hope Wee Bryce doesn’t die, and that KHunt gets me lots of evil fantasy points.  Spoiler – the first part is far likelier than the second.  Pacheco Truthers have to wait another week to see if his leg falls plum off.

Tits (+7.5) at 500s (CBS)

Classic Surly Duff matchup here, and I have low scoring vibes.  Sooner or later, Tennessee will successfully keep its opponent down in the muck for 60 minutes.  Or dare we hope 70, and Most Glorious Draw?

Well, the Cowboys are doing Cowboys things and Yeah Right has Jayden Daniels and the Washington D going against me in the Lowratio League, so I think it’s time to order a bunch of beer from Treehouse, then take a ride.

Unsurprised

BWAHAHAHA

Napoli won, remaines on top. Time to party with Marika, I’d let her stay on top too.

Outstanding.

I’m pretty fucking happy right now.

ArmedandHammered

I was – looking down at my ritz crackers.

Unsurprised

I love seeing a rusher just true through multiple defenders.

I would do that as a kid. I should’ve played in HS. Brian Urlacher and I could’ve destroyed each other.

Unsurprised

At least I have my real hair.

/kicks rocks

Gonna go out on a limb and guess that ‘Going Dutch’ doesn’t go into a second season.

Tennessee over Houston by 10 points, as we all expected.

DAL-WAS has had every variety of field goal so far: made, blocked, doink, and shank.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I guess “fake” counts as a variety too; hopefully we’ll get one of those. And maybe a fumbled snap!

Fair Catch Kick or GTFO!

Just saw an ad encouraging seniors to get vaccinated against COVID and the flu. I wonder what it felt like for the worker in Health and Human Services to put in the ad order with the network. My guess would be something along the lines of running along the beach and realizing you just stepped on a clutch of eggs of an endangered species of turtle.

WCS

RFK Jr. insists that clutch of eggs is actually vital to preserving one’s precious bodily fluids.

Unsurprised

I just hope he immediately makes Ozempic OTC.

And given his proclivities, he very well could.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I should probably be watching the Bearistocrats on an illegal stream, but I’m taking legal Commies-Boys until we go out and experience meatspace for the afternoon.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I made rib roast last night so I get to experience meatspace right here at home!

I made Birria and it was superb the next day.

So this was an unexpected thing to see in the NYT

a subtle reminder we are all fucked.

To be fair, at least people are cleaning them. You know there are those who haven’t even thought of that.

Somebody needs to scare up an old X Files “I want to believe” shot that can be posted in response to all future AI attachments. Like we do with duplicates with the Blair Witch bit.

Aww. I just looked at the Thanksgiving slate, and it sucks worse than today.

No.

Just don’t stop drinking

Did you have to shout?

Unsurprised

OCTOBOX! TRANSFORM!

Doktor Zymm

When I went to the store to buy orange juice I forgot to buy orange juice. So dryest possible mimosas or a Hopewell ride or die pale ale to start the day?

Unsurprised

Mimosas

Mr. Ayo

I have OJ, so I’m doing mimosas. You should do the pale ale.

Col. Duke LaCross

Very lightly colored mimosas

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Dear [god of hangovers] please provide me with succor before the vacuuming begins…

CBS is broadcasting Chiefs-Panthers on the entire west coast. Who on earth wants to watch that?

Chiefs fans and snuff film enthusiasts

Unsurprised

Someone should legit try that.

Mike Evans might have a day-QB’s that throw 20+ yards downfield vs the Giants have a 77% completion rate. Also, Deonte Banks, their #1 cb, is 2nd-worst in coverage. Great.

litre_cola

This has to be the shittiest slate of games in awhile.

ArmedandHammered

I may check in on red zone, but I believe my day would be better spent putting together my Lego Dune Ornithopter.

BeefReeferLives

Shoulda called em Livelloúlithopters, IMHO. That’s what they really have the wing motion of…

Doktor Zymm

Annoying, since it’s the first time I’m able to watch the entire morning window in awhile. Although as long as the Cowpersons get appropriatly humiliated I don’t mind

Horatio Cornblower

Awwww.

Ipswich thinks they’re people!

Mr. Ayo

They is! They is!

litre_cola

They have been all over them.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’d prefer it if they were sandwiches.

Clearly it was the coaching that was the problem at ManUre.

With apologies to the Right Reverend, this slayed me:

That’s why you’ve got to admire what the Pegulas are doing Jessie Pegula has become one of the best tennis players in the world. But she’s never won a major — before September, she was 0-6 in major quarterfinals. There’s nothing she can possibly do on this world to better prepare herself for eventual ownership of the Bills.

Whenever I hear that name, I think of Vampire themed, buttstuff porn.

Ciao Hippo. Napoli plays Roma here in a bit. They need to win if they want to maintain the slim one point lead they have atop this years crowded table.

Probably is. Especially if you have a normal iPhone and not a Plus, Max, whatever.

I’m up early and in Chicago. Contemplating trying to go to the game, but also contemplating wrapping myself in fuzzy blankets and drinking mimosas while watching Red Zone. Oh, or I could find a cowperson’s bar and go point and laugh! Although at this point in the season they’ve had the cowfolk still showing up at a team bar are probably worthy of respect so I would do so in a friendly way.
