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?

Great. More Bearenscheisse. Their humiliation in OT is going to have to be legendary given last week.

fleshwound_NPG

if anyone can fuck it up more than the bears, it is the vikes

Doktor Zymm

Bears recover only the 2nd onside kick since the stupid rule chances. This is gonna be brutal when it goes Bears up

fleshwound_NPG

Tough day for Buddy.

Mr. Ayo

LemonJello

Did Stroud just execute The Orlovsky?

Mr. Ayo

Looks like it!

Unsurprised

Two PI calls on KC?

Did the ShieldAssist check bounce or what?

Had a nice nap in my hammock. Looks like it was a good use of my time

Doktor Zymm

Woke up just in time to see the Panthers stoke the hopes of all the poor bastards stuck with that game

WCS

YYYYYEEEEEHHHHHAAAAAWWWWWQ

Unsurprised

If only Carolina’s offense could do its job

ArmedandHammered

In profile, the Texans’ coach looks like one of those heads on Easter Island.

Beerguyrob

Is Darnold pooping? Why is Mullens in?

Mr. Ayo

He has very special injury to his leg.

ArmedandHammered

he got an owie

Beerguyrob

Cooper Rush is having his Matt Flynn game today.

WCS

Unsurprised

I won’t be able to show up to Thanksgiving if the Commies lose.

Closer than I expected.

Unsurprised

Eat shit, Mahiomes.

And set up 2FA on your phone, dumbass.

I’m starting to think Richardson needs his nap.

fleshwound_NPG

hes overdue for his annual injury, that nap is coming

Unsurprised

It’s like someone put a curse on Washington.

Gatoraids

The Assassination of Terry McLaurin by the Coward Kliff Kingsbury

fleshwound_NPG

maybe the hail mary killed TWO teams

Beerguyrob

The real Hail Mary was inside us all along.

Redshirt

Actually, there was no curse. The poor talent and decision making was inside them all along.

BeefReeferLives

Oh, now THERE’S some prime Bearenscheise…

Unsurprised

So is Tua, but you’re still here nonetheless.

ArmedandHammered

Those “concussions” were used to reprogram Tua to be focused on football only.

LemonJello

Hey, you’re not alone! Just replace Stroud with Mayfield in my case.

ArmedandHammered

I hope he is getting some oxygen.

Beerguyrob

It’s been embargoed by the Jones Act.

Gatoraids

so are the Cowboys

Beerguyrob

Commanders playing down to the opponent like they’re hoping Trump will legislate them back to [Redacteds].

blaxabbath

Do you guys shop Rakuten?

ArmedandHammered

wife does, why?

blaxabbath

Just saw a commercial.

By name, if feels like they’re gonna steal my identity.

ArmedandHammered

Everybody probably has it, the genie has left the bottle. She has been using it for a long time, no complaints.

ArmedandHammered

oh and she is a lawyer who specializes in privacy and contracts for medical practices, so she ALWAYS reads the fine print.

Doktor Zymm

It’s been around for at least a decade and is totally legit

blaxabbath

KC trying to three peat. So they hit guys in the head on 2-pt attempts.

Is this what Pederson is coaching down in JAX?

Tommy Cutlets, more like Tommy Cutmywrists according to everyone in Bergen County

LemonJello

Trey Lance has taken the field! This is not a drill, people!

blaxabbath

I got home from barber and just turned on CAR/KC.

PLEASE LET BRYCE YOUNG GET THIS WIN!

Unsurprised

Motherfuck KC. I hope Carolina kills them, and I imagine that every player currently has that bloodlust

blaxabbath

Not the CAR defense

Unsurprised

Touché

Doktor Zymm

These games are only barely counteracting my desire to nap

Doktor Zymm

That’s a bit better

Mr. Ayo

HFX2 (Hippo Fade Hedge Fund) is waaaay up!

Unsurprised

Damn it, Blue

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Watching the Giants always reminds me of an old Gilbert Gottfried joke:

“When Rock Hudson died he didn’t have a single friend, but he had Nabors up the ass”

Beerguyrob

It’s nice to see the guys I sat in fantasy are doing better than the guys I started.

GM skills like that are going to get me both relegated in the [DFO] league & hired by the Jets.

Wakezilla

Did the Patriots defense not watch any game film? Miami has been painfully predictable and they’re just killing the Patriots like they’re Ashli Babbitt

ArmedandHammered

Knowing what they are doing is one thing, being able to actually do anything about it?

Horatio Cornblower

So I’m a big fan of Cormac McCarthy’s writing, and it turns out that when he was in his 40’s he got involved in a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old, (he’d met her when she was 16 and had been writing her erotic letters for a year before they ran away to Mexico), all of which is very much NOT GOOD.

The guy that broke the story wrote it for Vanity Fair and the writing is so bad that it will actually distract you from the fact that one of the greatest American writers was banging a teenager, and also doing it while married to someone else, and having a kid with that someone else.

Here’s a link to the article, which I have read so that you don’t have to.

https://www.vanityfair.com/style/story/cormac-mccarthy-secret-muse-exclusive?srsltid=AfmBOoo39RMsrC5sYLu98wahp3Gb5-aaGL2iFtKB0Ni2Yoxbgypfc3eb

If you’re interested in McCarthy, it’s probably a must read. If you want to see just how bad a Very Important (TM) story can be, you’ll also want to read it.

If you don’t care about either thing, or just find stories about grooming abused teenagers icky, probably skip it.

Horatio Cornblower

The stuff they highlight about his descriptions of landscapes is the same stuff that almost got me thrown out of the gym, I was laughing so hard.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Looking forward to his upcoming tenure as Chairman for the National Endowment for the Arts.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

(I realize McCarthy is dead, but I am presuming that they will call up Christine O’Donnell and get her to cast some kind of spell that resurrects him)

Unsurprised

I assumed you meant the article author

Unsurprised

OMG. That cannot be good for the kid.

Unsurprised

What the Hell is wrong with Washington today?

Gatoraids

nothing Cooper Rush cant fix

Horatio Cornblower

Trump got elected and everyone’s in a panic and…

Oh.

never mind.

Doktor Zymm

Don’t know but I hope they fix it

Beerguyrob

Flipping to the Cowboys game every ten minutes to see if they’ve found a new way to kill McCarthy.

Gatoraids

seeing more blockage than a Kansas City cardiologist

Horatio Cornblower

What really needs to be blocked in Kansas City is Britt Reid, from driving, amirite?

Unsurprised

I’m not gonna make the joke about who leaves you hanging.

(It’s Bourdain, because he was a snob and would’ve talked mad shit about KC)

Unsurprised

Tits game seems to be the only competitive one

Unsurprised

Well, fuck me

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Across the league that’s two blocked field goals and a blocked punt. Perhaps BLAPPPT can gain some adherents today after all!

Doktor Zymm

Being a good window for blocked kicks!
