Your Sunday Night Football Open Thread

Oh, Hai!

Yep we have substitute teachers all over this Sunday! They selected the two futbol freaks who also have mental problems when it comes to their respective NFL teams. I believe Rev was laughing at me pacing like a lunatic last year in Vegas during an Eagles game.

During this visit I became friends with Sir Spam, but tonight? Friends Off. There will be no RAMMIT.

I’ll speak to my many earlier statements about Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts. Did I think Nick should have been fired at the end of last year, and during this season? Absolutely I fucking did. He’s a cheerleader who makes dumb fuck decisions. Can it work? I do believe that it can. It seems the defense has come together. They are executing Vic Fangio’s defense and they have been surprisingly good moving forward. I was pleased when Kellen Moore came over from JerryWorld and it seems that he has figured out that the offensive line is great and Saquon should be the focal point of the offense.

Now, Jalen. I am still not sold, he seems to gap out at important times during the game. That being said, he has come on lately and is better than whatever the fuck is out there. It hurts that AJ, Devonta, and Goedert have all been injured at various times this season. This would totally have forced Moore to concentrate more on Barkley which is why the results have been so successful of late.

Lastly, the defensive backs the Eagles have drafted have been fucking unreal. I have bitched for the 9 years that we have been here, and even at KSK, that usually the Iggles defensive backfield is usually one all pro and 3 guys from the Home Depot parking lot.  DeJean and Toledo boy have been lock down corners and having Slay on the other side has been glorioUs. Shall we look at Quinyon Mitchell’s year? We shall.

Jesus Christ on a Motorbike that’s good. Dude should get Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Which leads me to RAMMIT.

“Fuck dem picks” is still so solid and I believe that this is the point where we see them go after the Quards or get stuck in the mire. Timothy McVeigh is a hell of a cooch.

Matty Stafford can still throw the ball on a dime. Nacua has that Poly-indestructible vibe, Kupp is a PNW lad, solid.

RAMMIT has been injured all season but looking at the injury report I recognize absolutely no one on that list.

I worry about this game as it is a must win. Iggles have Ravens and Yinzers next so Birds must win this one if they have any chance of keeping up with the Lions.

Should we do wine time? Why not, it’s been a while.

I petitioned for questions on last nights thread and stated that if I didn’t get any I would make them up;

A very good friend of mine (Irish) yesterday in a group chat asked this question.

“Is there anything against putting wine in the microwave? I know I will get slapped for this.”  

Fuck this shit. Do not radioactive your wine. Do you know what warms wine? Hands. Warm the fcking glass of wine up with your hands.

I was once at Lollapalooza in Chicago and a buddy of mine bought a bottle of wine in some plastic bottle. I asked him “Is it any good?” His response was perfect. “Do you like hot wine?” It was 35 C so his answer made sense.

Wine lists are made to confuse you. Never buy the cheapest wine. The markup on that shit is astronomical. After that one you will see the more inexpensive wines have a markup of 300% theen as they get more expensive that margin will drop. So your key is to know what you like and how light/heavy you want it. Years ago I put a chart down for the degrees wine, here’s another one courtesy of Wine Folly.

.

Now when describing sweet or dry they are not describing the substance as wine is a liquid and wet. Dry would be the sugar content in that there is not a lot and you will feel the dryness on your teeth if there are a lot of tannins within the wine. In general the darker the wine the more tannins and less fruity sugars will it have. When eating a steak you would want a heavier, bigger wine as the fat from the steak will coat your tongue and mute the boldness. If you had a light Pinot Noir with a steak you wouldn’t be able to taste any of the nuances of the wine as the fat would completely mute it.

BFC has brought to my attention that the official wine of the NFL is fucking barefoot. Without question the worst mass produced shite available on the market right now. You can bring me all of the shit wines from your neck of the woods but Barefoot is 6 dollars here in Canadia where booze is super expensive. In the US there are sooo many options to get drunk for free and good cheap wine. Barefoot is for lazy people who like flavoUrless wine and do not want to learn about anything. Embarrassing. Am I a wine snob? No, I am educated and know what I like. Do I think box wines are getting better and better? Yes. Wine snobs do not drink box wine or wines in a can, I will try everything once except square dancing.

Hope this helps, and if anyone has questions I will be rage watching the game tonight and am always more than happy to help.

Spam? Get RAMMED by a tush push.

Go Birds.
