Substitute Week 12 Late Afternoon Window Thread

We laughed, we cried, we maybe self-abused and then took a nap.  Disgusting perverts.  Here’s your sub-optimal, 3-game late window:

Donks (-5.5) at Raiduhs (4:05, CBS)

It would be very, very Denver Broncos to break Vegas’ 6-game, putrid losing streak.  But it’s really just a matter of containing Brock Bowers (dunno if they will break tendencies and put Surtain on him – but I certainly would).

Tomsulas (+6) at Packers (4:25, Fox)

This line (not even a full tuddy???) shows waaaaayyyyyyy too much deference to Baby Shanny.  On the road, with BRANDON ALLEN?  Yeah, they are gonna take an epic beating here.  Let me get on the record early with Throw The Damned Ball to Watson, you cockwallets.

Qards (-1) at SeaTruthers (4:25, Fox)

Just Asking Questions bowl in the Pacific Northwest!  Though the national coverage tilts to GB, this is without question the Match of the Window.  Winner really leaps into poll position for the dicision, especially if that winner is Xbox, Jr. and pals (Mike Bidwell’s sexuality aside).  Who would have believed, going into the season, that they’d be road favoUrites today?  Life comes at you fast sometimes.

In addition to losing to a liquid poop team, Washington also lost both top 2 RBs

litre_cola

Holy shit are the 9ers disappointing this year.

fleshwound_NPG

nah, they just decided to be disappointing early this year: before thanksgiving rather than less than 2 min left in the super bowl, again

litre_cola

I can’t say shit as the Iggles shit the bed the year prior v the Chefs.

fleshwound_NPG

but they succeeded once! shanny has been leading in the 4th several times in the superb owl and has yet to win one

Doktor Zymm

Nice catch, seattle

Mr. Ayo

What is it? Barefoot?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Yup

BrettFavresColonoscopy

(wish they’d offer a companion sponsor of “and Pregnant”)

Doktor Zymm

Isn’t that Barefoot’s low alcohol line?

(buy a case and get a 30 day supply of prenatal vitamins free!)

That legit is one of the worst brands in all of the wine kingdom.

Doktor Zymm

My friend had to do a tasting as part of the Olive Garden waitstaff initiation

ballsofsteelandfury

Wait, there’s a tree lighting ceremony at The Grove and they televise it and it’s the 23rd year already???

How the fuck do I not know about this? I live in LA for fuck’s sake!

fleshwound_NPG

minshewmania!!!

ballsofsteelandfury

Clearly there’s a urinal underneath Scott Hanson’s podium there…

litre_cola

Or he wears those new men’s underwear I see advertised nowadays. NO DRIBBLES OLD MAN! PISS YOURSELF WITH DIGNITY!

Cecil Rhodes

I’ve always assumed that he is sitting on a toilet when he is shown sitting down on the Red Zone broadcast.

Doktor Zymm

He should be so lucky!

scotchnaut

Audience: “How Hardcore is Scott Hanson?”

DFO: “HE’S SO HARDCORE THAT AFTER DOING SIX LINES OF COKE HE INSERTS THE CATHETER HIMSELF!”

ThePirateSloth

Look Google, I can talk to myself just fine. I don’t need some bullshit AI that will answer my rhetorical questions with facts.

Doktor Zymm

And sometimes with ‘facts’

Horatio Cornblower

Just back from Treehouse, where they enclosed an outdoor drink area and called it ‘The Snow Lodge.’ In the gift shop they’ll also sell you a hoodie labeled ‘The Snow Lodge’ for what I’m guessing is $40-$50, but I wasn’t falling for that one.

But they’ll also see you hot chocolate, and I do like me some good hot chocolate.

Me: “One hot chocolate, please”

Bartender: “Sure. Would you like that spiked?”

Me: “I would like that spiked! What are my options?”

(we agree on peppermint schnapps, as due to some oversight they do not have Grand Marnier)

Bartender: ‘Would you like a marshmallow?”

Me: “I would like a marshmallow, yes! Thank you.”

(bartender crams a roughly 8″x11″ marshmallow into the cup)

Bartender: “$13 please.”

Me: “What the fuck just happened?”

-The hot chocolate was delicious, but not as delicious as sipping it while in the back room in front of a TV screen the size of my house surrounded by Patriots fans watching the end of the game

ballsofsteelandfury

Isn’t the Snow Lodge the room where everyone does coke?

Doktor Zymm

That’s the snow Lounge

Horatio Cornblower

Definitely more of a lounge activity.

scotchnaut

I wasn’t falling for that one*

*Because my wife locked me out of our joint account again. Damn you, woman!

Horatio Cornblower

I did spend $16 on finely ground coffee for the new coffee machine she bought herself recently and is learning to make lattes and espressos on.

That oughta keep her from getting too worked up on how much I just spent on beer.

Doktor Zymm

I bet you that marshmallow was artisan something

Horatio Cornblower

I’ve seen smaller paperback books.

scotchnaut

Math Hard Update: My entire bench of 14 guys has scored 9.2 points. Did I pick the right guys or is my depth for shit? The answer is, “entirely”.

Horatio Cornblower

If it makes you feel any better, my Bye Week strategy of relying on the RB tandem of Cam Akers and Jerome Ford has paid off to the tune of 3 combined points.

litre_cola

GTD is in bye week hell and he is still going to beat me.

Doktor Zymm

I think he was still the right call between Akers, Charbs, and the Gus Bus

scotchnaut

Correction: 11 fellas.

ballsofsteelandfury

Why is there a B. Allen at QB for SF?

Did Byron Allen get his talk show cancelled?

litre_cola

Well, GG Allin is dead I think.

Horatio Cornblower

Turns out smearing your own shit over your own open and self-inflicted wounds does not lead to an extended life.

Who knew?

litre_cola

You don’t get art man.

Doktor Zymm

Longer than anyone would have though

Horatio Cornblower

Fair

Senor Weaselo

The comics are no longer unleashed.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Wow I didn’t really appreciate how shitty this slate is if Rikki’s Raiders and Hippo’s Donkeys are the featured matchup in DC.

jjfozz

“This is a seven stud game.”

LemonJello

What is “A great weekend at Buddy Cole’s condo?”

I’ll take An Album Cover for $800.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

That’s anal bum cover, sir.

“What is Nathan Lane’s rider before any Broadway show?”

Doktor Zymm

Lol, shanny

jjfozz

Now that the Chiefs were almost defeated by the Panthers, can we abandon the fact that they’re fucking bulletproof?

ArmedandHammered

that was the Shield reminding KC to keep those ShieldAssist payments on time.

LemonJello

At NFL HQ:

Horatio Cornblower

Wow, a team as good as KC failed to cover an 11.5 point spread against a team as bad as the Panthers while the NFL relentlessly promotes legalized gambling?

No way.

jjfozz

Informed today I’m permanently banned from Reddit. I called someone “stupid” in the comments section. I’m appealing. Fuck Reddit.

jjfozz

Just pounded 4 Bud heavies in honor of my grandfather. Ah, the memories. After dinner, he’d sit in his chair (with orange reflective tape covering tears) drink Bud in grenade bottles, smoke Camel filterless and generally complain. I had a knack for standing right in front of the television, which would drive him nuts.

First bar I ever hung out in was his local dive. Lots of cigarette smoke and draft beer. He’d give me a few quarters, have a shot and a beer, then drive me home. No one complained.

Those days were the fucking best.

Gumbygirl

My Uncle Henny and Aunt Cass owned a shot and a beer joint on the South Side of Pittsburgh. It had one of those bowling machines that you threw a puck down a slippery surface, like shuffleboard, but there were pins that lifted up into the top. I can still remember how it sounded in there, and how it smelled.

jjfozz

He once bought some stolen coats from that bar, and then never wore them because he was afraid of getting arrested. They were really nice coats.

jjfozz

Also, in his neighborhood some guy was selling tvs that fell off a truck. So everyone bought one. Well, the guy got arrested, and everyone in the neighborhood had to throw the TVs out (receiving stolen goods).

scotchnaut

Was there a poster of a topless Terry Hanratty above the bar?

Gumbygirl

Ha, maybe!

Horatio Cornblower

The best/worst dive bar near me just closed, and the building is for rent.

I wanted to make one of the absolutely worst financial decisions I could ever make, but Mrs. Horatio put her foot down, simply because “that fucking building is infested with bed bugs (true, actually), and I will murder you if you even go into it.”

Probably the better decision.

ballsofsteelandfury

Former strip club?

ArmedandHammered

I would be more worried about crabs.

ArmedandHammered

with that business having occupied by a strip club

Horatio Cornblower

Not a former strip bar, just a complete dive that had some shitty pool tables, a great jukebox, and would sell you bottles of Millers and Pabst for $2.

Rumor had it they’d also sell you cocaine, although probably not for $2.

ArmedandHammered

You normally don’t see that much movement in backfield except at a Dinner Club dance.

yeah right

Three straight road games.

Three straight W’s.

Nine and two

This has been your Vikings update.

SKOL Motherfuckers!

litre_cola

I would prefer if you lot had to play the Lions in the playoffs please.

yeah right

Stay tuned.

litre_cola

Trickeration in Raider Nation!

ThePirateSloth

I swear they are saying Feral Brown instead of Pharaoh Brown.

LemonJello

Is Kyler wearing an oversize novelty helmet or is he just that small and regular helmets look big on him?

ThePirateSloth

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

That was a fumble

Gumbygirl

Well, I laughed and cried. I went through a box of pictures, and letters. It was emotional, but I’m glad I got them sorted. Tomorrow I’m packing Gumby’s sports memorabilia up, and putting it in storage. Keeping myself busy and getting the house ready to go on the market. I haven’t been paying much attention to football, but somehow Blax is right on my tail in FF, despite him starting two guys on their bye, and Dak Prescott! What the actual fuck?

BC Dick

Keep trucking, G.g.

litre_cola

From what I gather in Ligue 2, Brick can’t log into his yahoo account and Blax just doesn’t.

But they both have won a few games! Fantasy Football is weird.

jjfozz

Stay strong. My father loved snowballs. And we have a snowball machine. I was getting ice from the freezer, swung the door shut and was face to face with a picture of him and me at a Ravens game – back when he was happy and in great health. Fuck. That hurt.

I’m making oyster stew in his honor for Xmas. Cream, butter, oysters. I can’t fuck that up. Right?

Gumbygirl

I love oyster stew! With lots of pepper, and those little oyster crackers.

Horatio Cornblower

If you buy the oysters in a month without an ‘r’ you sure as hell could!

/I actually don’t think this is true anymore, but eating oysters in the warmer months used to be a great way to lose a lot of weight.

Doktor Zymm

Yeah, you can nowadays and you’ll be fine although they might not be as tasty

litre_cola

Raises hand. I took a nap.

BC Dick

Lowers hand, raises hand, lowers hand, etc.

Doktor Zymm

Are the Bears maybe the third most cursed team? Buffalo is #1

Doktor Zymm

Raiders might be second

I’m glad I didn’t go to the bears game, I’m not prepped for those sorts of emotional crowd swings right now

jjfozz

Plus, ducking all the shell casings is a pain in the ass.

“I think I’ll sit Keenan Allen.”

19 POINTS LATER…

1-11 in DFO Fantasy

Such Bears. So loss.

ballsofsteelandfury

Oh Bears. That was a very Bears loss.
