Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Your Pre-Thanksgiving Jets at the Bye Post

Reference point.

PREDICTION: Officially, 9-8, Rodgers retires, everyone is shown the door, back to square zero.

REALITY: Oh, it’s worse. I go back to the actual prediction paragraph:

This team could go any number of potentially hilarious ways. So… which one would be the cruelest and therefore most comedic? Things like, a GAMBLOR sniff of whether Aaron Rodgers will play more or fewer snaps than last year. Which, you’d think might be tricky to top four, but remember, it’s the Jets. Anything is possible aside from mundane basic logic. Does Sauce Gardner get suspended for accidentally saying something anti-Semitic? TOTALLY POSSIBLE. Have a 17-point lead in the Super Bowl, then rocks fall, everyone dies? Sure! 3-14? Yes, considering it won’t result in the first pick, because we all know the Panthers are going to be Carolina Reaper shit.

Here’s your comedy. Get Aaron Rodgers back, and have the offense be as bad or worse than with Zach Wilson. Start 2-1, then lose 5 straight. Include being pants in London with Rodgers getting picked off thrice and start getting people shown the door. Robert Salah? Gone. Suck a little more, so Joe Douglas? Gone.

The defense has gotten worse, where they can’t tackle. Or maybe won’t tackle, though with the aforementioned Sauce Gardner it’s more the can’t, but he’s also not winning a one-on-one open field tackle against a running back or tight end, and the fact that he has to do that is probably not great, where the one-on-ones he’s showing the most fight is on Instagram. But yeah, the corners were good but the defense has fallen apart now, probably due to back injuries from trying to carry the offense after the last eternity, as seen by giving up 37 to the Steelers and 31 to the Qards.

In conclusion, it’s a comedy that rival’s last night exhibition diceball where the bullpen just couldn’t get an advantage roll… or if they did it would leave the yard. Hence Brooklyn giving up 23 for the second time in 5 games. (Again, get these rolls out in the preseason, I hope…)

Revised Prediction: 4-13. Beat the Jags coming up which will do enough to dent the tank for whatever this team needs, who even fucking knows. Nobody does less with more like the Jets. Rodgers COMES BACK, which ends up being worse.

Fuck off to Britain, Woody. And/or sell the team.

Droogs don’t run!

yeah right

Gotta tell you, it’s a little bit weird not doing dinner prep for tomorrow.

Been cooking Thanksgiving dinner for the better part of 40 years.

I will have you know.

I am making the gravy.

Doktor Zymm

That is quite a few dinners! Take joy in letting others do the bulk and just bringing the gravy, yum

yeah right

And a nicely chilled bottle of Pinot Grigio of course.

Doktor Zymm

Oh nice! Seems good with turkey

Doktor Zymm

I only saw Sham 69 play once and pretty sure I was on E. I watched from upper balcony and enjoyed it, but in hindsight wish I had been down front.

I’m in accord with Litre that more horrible shit probably should have happened to me if you evaluate risks sensibly. The E I got from my Welsh friends that I knew from camping with them, but at the same festival I also snorted some misc powder that random friendly strangers told me was speed they found on the floor in the toilet.

Doktor Zymm

No active warzones at least! And never anything in draconian prison countries

Doktor Zymm

Oh glod, and I used to ‘minesweep’ aka find and drink abandoned beers

yeah right

I found my dropped hit of window pain on the floor of the bathroom right before I saw Frank Zappa play a Halloween concert in champaign Illinois.

I did not throw my panties but I was tempted.

Doktor Zymm

I feel like bathroom floor drugs are actually kinda trustworthy, because unless there is chicanery involved those are drugs someone wanted and just misplaced.

The speed was shit tho

Also, panties? Tighty whities or going Rocky Horror?

yeah right

He said “if you’re wearing bikini bottoms just wrip them off but if you’re wearing those old cotton jobs run to the toilet and take them off.”

That is pretty much verbatim Frank Zappa from the same show.

I also blazed a few lines on the old picnic tables that they used to have at the Roxy in Hollywood.

Remember this is all fiction.

yeah right

He said he was making a sports coat.

Doktor Zymm

It was the other yeah right 😉

Gorgeous. Both of them.

Such good teeth! Though dig and identify more with the smirk

That smirk has seen some things. That smile has participated in them.

Here I go being maudlin again, but I feel privileged to be part of the moment in time where this joke exists because it is goddamn hilarious

Doktor Zymm

I probably shouldn’t have opened this beer, it’s going to take a while to get through. Huh didn’t know there was a Cocksparrer song about trousers

yeah right

Happy Thanksgiving, Dok!

Cheers

Doktor Zymm

I’ve only been in the US on Thanksgiving a couple times over the past few years. It’s a great time to travel internationally. Although I guess it’s catching on now, there was a NYT article about it and also about Malort, lol. My aesthetic favorite was when I went to Turkey for Turkey Day. My legit favorite was probably Athens. Amazing city even without the Parthenon and other ruins (although those are also great and nawt crowded in late November)

ballsofsteelandfury

I was in Brazil on Thanksgiving one year and I’ve been other places a few other Thanksgivings. You’re right, it’s a great time to travel internationally.

Doktor Zymm

How did I only just notice from reading this that a 17 game schedule means a team can have pi as a record?

I feel failed as a math nerd

ballsofsteelandfury

Wait, how?

Doktor Zymm

3-14

Ed Zitron on Bluesky is describing just how fucking evil Facebook is.

@edzitron.com

Doktor Zymm

Yeah pretty much. It’s weird with my new job. I’m realizing both how unhappy and disengaged I was at FB but also how much I learned. Granted, among the useful stuff I learned was a lot of stuff that shouldn’t be useful e.g. Dealing with shitty managers and a lotta CYA shit, but turns out when you aren’t in a toxic workplace all that same stuff actually just makes you awesome.
My manager (who is amazing) thanked me today because she said she doesn’t have to worry about whatever task I’m on. And while that felt super good I realized later that it’s all stuff I originally taught myself because I had no support at all.
So yeah, I’m drunk and reasonably happy with life right now. I may have handled my love life horribley over the years but I did have quite a bit of great sex, I have fantastic friends, I just painted my hallway and it looks good, and the whole work/money/supporting myself thing has been pretty easy for me. Like, I was probably only working about 20 hrs a week my last couple years at FB.
This is super long, I think I mentioned the drunk thing. Anyway, y’all are awesome. Cheers and I’m thankful for here and all y’all

Unsurprised

I knew it! You did work for the Evil Empire!

ballsofsteelandfury

I don’t judge. The building I work in is labeled as The Death Star by my co-workers.

Unsurprised

But that’s awesome that you happy with work and life.

Doktor Zymm

Supervillains gotta intern somewhere yo

The Jets are reaping what they sow. First Favruh and now Rodgers. Get fucked, planes.

Has there been a GB update? If not, I submit in short one of my previous scribbles. One and out(if that), and with the 15th pick they take…a box of raisin bran crun, nope TOO good, Life.
The local media is absolutely on the rainman end of the spectrum. They’re ok. They will fall.

Go for it!

Oh, I approve. It’s a nice shape.

Just back from the bar where I picked my son up from Black Out Wednesday, when all the young’uns come back from wherever they’re currently living and run into everyone they knew in high school and get themselves too hungover to eat tomorrow.

The bar was packed, and all I can say is that there are going to be so many unwanted pregnancies in this area tomorrow.

Mr. Ayo

How many are yours?

Horatio Cornblower

None. Not many young chicks into balding 50+ year-olds who came to the bar, unshowered and unshaved, to pick up their son.

No one believes in magic anymore.

Mr. Ayo

Follwup, Lowratio’s total?

SonOfSpam

Several, all gymnasts.

Unsurprised

I didn’t know Lowratio was a Romanian name

Tell me you live in the suburbs without telling me you live in the suburbs. Chicago was more crowded than a normal Wednesday tonight, but quite a bit less than a normal Friday

Gumbygirl

I went to the store. Yinz were right, it was a shitshow. Should have ordered in. But I did see a car that was completely covered in Christmas lights! Verra festive, probably illegal.

Horatio Cornblower

I mean, what other reason could there have been?

SonOfSpam

He was wearing something even more offensive – a Band-Aid from his COVID booster.

blaxabbath

The Jets getting a bye late is so great. I hope they come back on fire and, please, bring back Aaron and pals

Beerguyrob

A-Aron’s only on fire after the break because ayahuasca doesn’t prevent STDs.

“Pfft. I’m not worried about STD’s, I’m in a monogamous relationship.” – Aaron Rodgers, having taken a massive dose of mescaline and about to mistake a saguaro cactus for his girlfriend

The last time jets caught on fire over New York the US got involved in two decades worth of war in the Middle East.

Very Specific Advice Alert:

The day-old sweet and sour pork at Centra Food Market in Barrie, Ontario that was listed for sale at $10.99 and then was discounted the day after to $9.99 and the day after was listed at $6.99 is just fine for human consumption, so far.

ballsofsteelandfury

I was going to say that you like to live dangerously but given your hobo-related hobby, that’s probably unnecessary.

Game Time Decision

Still nawt worth the drive up the 400 to Barrie

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

What units are those prices in? Loonies/kilogram?

Brick Meathook

Sweet AND sour?

Beerguyrob

In THIS economy?!

Gumbygirl

Somebody make me go to the store. I have done jackshit today, other than spending over two hours in the bathtub.I am pruney, and starving!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’m not sure any of us is enough of a jerk to insist that you go to the store the night before Thanksgiving.

ballsofsteelandfury

Exactly. Pizza delivery!

Gatoraids

sounds like a job for Chinese food

blaxabbath

Does your store have sweet and sour pork?

I really feel bad for Jets fans.
