Your Thursday Night NFL Football Open Thread

We’ve got so much freaking football going forward, oh my god! Gird Your Lions! And your Bills, Ravens, Eagles and…maybe even your Vikes? Maybe these few loss teams are legit? I’ve no clue.

Minutiae:

-Welcome Pat Taylor Jr. of the Niners to the starting running back role of the Niners. He must be so excited to get his chance. Others are super excited to bet on which debilitating injury will knock him out for the rest of the season. The Niners have to win out to get into the postseason.

-There’s news out there that Qaron would be willing to mentor a newbie QB should he stick around the Jets next year. If Woody wants a surly, sour, self-involved, conspiracy-minded signal-caller, he’s all set!

-The NCAA president and the NFLPA Pearl Clutchers are aghast, aghast I tell you with the amount of sports betting that they’re not getting a slice of-just yet. So naturally they’ve asked Congress to “Do Something”. The NCAA also asked if legislation could be enacted whereby they could grow their balls back.

-He’s Just Like Us!: Mike Penix was eating a hot dog at Costco when he was informed that he’ll be the starter for the Falcons this weekend. Given the news, he splurged and bought the $5 roasted chicken.

To The Game!

Broncos/Chargers:

-If Denver wins they get a playoff spot. I prefer that than going over all the permutations and combinations the last few weeks of the season.

-Bo Nix isn’t getting nearly the credit that a rook qb guiding a four game win streak while headed down the stretch should. Sure it’s been a bit bumpy but the kid is an asset and his skillset will grow.

-Conversely, the Chargers are stumbling, having lost three of their last four and they’re on the road for two weeks to close out the season. Yeah, it’s the Pats and Raiders but still… A win here runs their playoff entry chances to 97%-a loss drops them to 73%.

-Since Dobbins was lost for the season (who could have seen that coming?) the Chargers have laid off the running game and the results are showing.

-Piling On: Last week vs Tampa they gave up the most yards (500) and points (40) this season.

-Both Herbert and Nix are tied for second in the league. Thing is, the stat is dropped passes.

Have at it.

I asked youngest fozz for a beer. he poured it into a giant glass. with ice in it. i can’t yell at him cause he’s such a fucking angel.

litre_cola

He’s the least insane yeah?

jjfozz

in this scenario, he is. this kid is such a love. he cries too easily, but you just can’t get mad at him. his heart is bigger than the moons of Jupiter.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

THIS FOZZ KID I CALL HIM SECRÉTARIAT…

Horatio Cornblower

It’s never too early to yell at anyone or anything for putting ice in a beer.

jjfozz

If you met him, you would actually ask him for ice. This is the kid who kept me from losing my mind when I got furlooughed. His heart is the size of a watermelon.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Might want to have that checked out

Game Time Decision

So he’s Grinch post gift returning?

Horatio Cornblower

Me, explaining to Fozz #3 what a great kid he is but to never put ice in a beer for any reason ever again.

I may go see John Valby in New Haven tomorrow night, depending on what kind of shape I’m in after the office Xmas party/dinner/whatever.

Guy’s 80 and still doing this stuff.

Definitely funnier when I was in 7th grade and first heard ‘Eat, Bite, Suck, Fuck’ for the first time, but I am kind of curious how he’s still upright considering I first heard him, like I said, when I was in 7th fucking grade.

My Day, by JJ Fozz:

Wake up at 530, sing along to Run Run Rudolph, Mrs. Fozz yells at me to stop singing

2 hour drive to work

Work: complete overhaul of a project I’ve worked on for a year.

2 hour drive home

Wife losing her mind due to hormonal implant. She is now crazier than Jerry Jones on a meth binge.

Pick up son. He drives like Burt Reynolds in Cannonball Run. I am on verge of a kill spree.

Get home. Mrs. Fozz bought new used car for my son. Drive car. Car is making horrendous sound on back left tire.

Slam my head repeatedly on steering wheel. Scream in car. Wonder if my wife is brain damaged.

Wife calls. Crying. “I made a huge mistake with the car.”

I pray to St. Jude. (Patron saint of lost causes.) He does not answer me. I tell him to eat shit.

Get home. Wife says, “I’m at my mom’s, wiping down her floors because she’s tired.”

My left ventricle sends out a ‘cease and desist’ notification.

Get home. Kids hungry. Go back out. Buy shitty food for them. Get stuck behind a fuckface in a lowered Honda Accord. Kill factor increased to 1,000.

Home.

I am on my fourth bourbon. Fuck the world.

jjfozz

Also, dog got into trash 3x. Table surfed once. Are dog fur coats de riguer these days? Fucking goddamn cur.

WCS

This promises to get interesting.

Hide your bridges.

Only 4th? Sheeeeet (Baltimore), I figured you would have stashes all about the Fozz lands.

My grandfather was notorious for hiding miniatures of Carstairs – pure paint thinner – around the house. My uncles found empties shoved into the goals of their table top hockey game.

Horatio Cornblower

I don’t know anything about Maryland’s Lemon Laws, (like, for starters, if they have one), but if they do and it’s anything like Connecticut’s run that piece of shit back to the dealership and make them fix the tire or give you your money back.

jjfozz

We’ve set up an appointment for tomorrow – i will shove this car down the throat of the fuckface who brokered the deal

Horatio Cornblower

He started it. I saw it. Most justified case of self-defense I’ve ever seen.

I’ve got a Terrible Towel

Redshirt

Quick story. I bought a Terrible Towel and gave it to my friend, a Bengals fan, as a gag gift (I used it as wrapping paper that goes in a gift bag that covered the actual gift of a Bengals hat and a Skyline gift card).

I found it funny. He nearly ended the 20 year friendship.

LemonJello

Kraft Single and Groper Cleveland nod in agreement with this statement.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Canon is that [kommentist] would run though the clubhouse wearing only a [franchise] bandana wrapped around their wing-wang (or covering their hoo-hah), so the presumption is that at the very least there’s one bandana for each sports team.

fleshwound_NPG

frauds everywhere, some team is gonna go on a surprise deep run and that owner/gm is gonna be delusional and do something stupid in the spring

it will either be super bowl or sirianni gets murdered at halftime in the very 1st game

no in-between

Either will be hilarious.

Just saw this. It looks good. Not all dark, moody and edgy. It appears to be uplifting. Superman is meant to inspire. He’s a God who helps no matter how small the problem, setting an example.

Someone pointed out that as Clark Kent he kind of looks like Moss from The I.T. Crowd and while I am looking forward to the film I also am very amused by such an image.

“I’ll just put this over with the rest of the kryptonite…”

Wow, I thought the Bears were playing for a second there.

too many points have been scored by them

A half-finished, untested interloper claimed to be the savior for a flawed system that ultimately destroys what did actually work?

Yep.

Spur

Already saw some clip about a active solider crying about not getting paid before the Holidays. “Don’t they know what it does to us when were treated as pawns”.

Fuck you! You voted for this. We all tried to warn you. That’s my mindset for the next 4 years. Eat pigs! You voted for your own slaughter.

Spur

First week of the new job is going well. No remote work but the commute is maybe 15 mins. I got an office but no window. Even as a salary employee, I still get paid weekly.
Lots of AP and AR work in Oracle BI. My understanding is that the person I replaced was basically autistic and couldn’t interact with staff.
I can ham it up when needed.

Thanks for everyone well wishes.

But I thought not being able to interact with staff was a strength…..SMGDH

I don’t think Nix can keep up if this really stays a shootout.

I’m hoping the wheels fall off soon. Sorry Boris! [not sorry]

Time to see if the Bengals sole remaining path to the playoffs is a slim chance in Hell or a snowball’s chance in Hell.

Which level are we talking about, I think a snowball would be fine in the 9th circle.

Nope, the name of a running back is identical to my last name, which is why I had him on my team. So, I was joking in a way that only my stoned, on the spectrum ass could understand.

Not having Ryan Clark (because of his sickle cell anemia) was huge…

I’ll remember where I was for this the same as I did on 9/11 and learning I was going to be a dad thrice over until I shuffle off this mortal realm.

Do with that information what you will.

I remember just laughing. That’s all I could do.

Horatio Cornblower

It’s the end of the year and I’m just signing everything in an effort to get it off my desk and if my assistant has any sense of humor I’ve signed at least one letter that says ‘Good night, San Diego, and go fuck yourself’

I never saw the witch show but I recently learned that TV’s Frank was a producer and the voice of the cat. Was it any good?

Fuck yeah, it was. It was great teenage trash, and had more adult-adult humor it seemed. Plus, even the aunts are nice to look at, too.

I’m not man enough for Joe Burrow. Besides, per the lady on the police report, he’s already filled that position.

Speaking of the which, I move that all models and mistress that pro athletes are seeing on the side are called “under their employee”.

Taylor Swift is the exception, to both not incur the wrath of the Swifties and acknowledge the unspoken truth that Kelch is the bottom of that relationship.

Calling Mike Brown rich royalty would be a stretch. He’s at best a descendant from a once great royal bloodline. He may be technically an Earl but when the family goes quail hunting, he stays at the hotel because he can’t afford the ammo.

If only we knew someone in the sort-of area with experience restoring royal bloodlines.

Bearkats just pick-sixed their way to an early lead in the N’awlins Bowl (on ESPN2).
