Your Next Open Thread

Let’s get to it.

Pats/Bills:

Does anyone care about New England any more? To me they’re a non-entity like Tampa-there’s nothing to distinguish them, they just don’t stand out in the crowd. If you miss this game they play again the week after next-I hate it when the schedule is done like that. It could somewhat be justified if the teams were competitive and battling for the division title. (at the outset of the year) But everyone knew that the Pats were going to suck this year, so why?

Vikes/Seahawks:

Sort of an odd matchup this late in the season, huh? Is anybody thinking trap game? A team with a great record that seems a bit suspect. (although their metrics aren’t bad) The whole ‘traveling across the country thing. When is Minny’s D going to get proper credit? Is McConnell going to win Coach of the Year? He’s vastly exceeded expectations and perceptions, that’s usually enough.

Jags/Raiders:

Why are they playing this game? Somebody could make up a score and put it in the paper and no one would question it.

Niners/Fins:

The Battle of the Disappointing Teams! With San Fran it was because of a series of devastating injuries but what’s McDaniels’ excuse? He just can’t beat good teams and that just might be a drawback when trying to get over the hump.

Good God, Justin Jefferson can PLAY.

fleshwound_NPG

niners will be a xfl roster by week 17

what a snuff film of a season

Doktor Zymm

They should all just go their separate ways and pretend this season never happened. They can reconvene in a different city as an expansion team and act confused when anyone mentions a Bay area team that played in 2024.
“Huh? There were only 31 teams in the league that year, I don’t know what you’re talking about..” – Guyle Incognitahan

Gatoraids

Unsurprised

Gas Leak Season

blaxabbath

Lynch should just say Shanny has been gambling on the season and get it erased from the books.

It’d be the honorable thing.

Beerguyrob

The Seahawks are intent on my paying for playoff tickets at a 1.5 exchange rate.

litre_cola

Where has this Seatruther team been all year? This is impressive.

King Hippo

They have been schizo from jump street.

Doktor Zymm

THIS. It’s not just good Geno/bad Geno, it’s the whole team somehow

Gatoraids

all the drone sightings have woken them up

litre_cola

Had a nap. Still hate Kenny Pickett. If them Cowboys win tonight I cash a parlay for 150 CAD, so a cheese steak and a large Mountain Dew in US currency.

King Hippo

THANKS, Maple Obama!!!11111

Doktor Zymm

Seems like a low price for having to root for the Cowpeople

ThePirateSloth

A fake punt! Well hot damn

King Hippo

Fact that pleases only me – that’s 3/3 punt fake successes on the day (that I saw/noticed) – and EACH AND EVERY ONE resulted in a punt anyway, 3 plays later. Symbolic of the futility of man’s struggle in this world.

Doktor Zymm

Clearly they should have fake punted TWICE IN A ROW

King Hippo

Nobody expects THAT!

Doktor Zymm

It’s written up in the playbook as “The Spanish Inquisition”

TRICKY TRUTHERS

aaaaand right back to where they were when they faked it

Also, a half dozen family members have sent me this picture of Ric Flair with some form of the caption, “I can also hear this picture”.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

So we watched that show “Is It Cake” last night and it was better than I expected. Probably because it’s sort of interactive; it’s like playing along with Jeopardy. It gets old fast, I’m sure, but it kept our attention for over an hour.

Brick Meathook

Was it cake?

Gatoraids

show created soley for inevitable porn parody

Unsurprised

That would be something to see

Beerguyrob

Very drunk. Need driver.

I’ll be there in 15 mins. In spirit.

Unsurprised

It’ll take me a minute to get up there.

litre_cola

Just driver faster than you normally do, you will get to your destination lickety split.

Beerguyrob

You’ve experienced it; you know it’s legit.

Doktor Zymm

Like the golf club? Or a limo?
I can’t actually help with either unfortunately, Uber or Lyft should be an option if willing to spend the $$

Unsurprised

I’m watching Tampopo on the TV and I’m crying laughing at the spaghetti scene.

Brick Meathook

In the west they don’t slurp.

Gatoraids

these games are impressively boring to be this close and late in fantasy season

King Hippo

Right???

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Walked to Trader Joe’s to get some provisions. It’s tits cold so that feels like enough of an accomplishment.

Doktor Zymm

Brick Meathook

A lot of you have been contacting me for updates about this, so I’ll just confirm to all of you that I pulled the trigger and bought the glass & tile drill bits, you know, the carbide-tipped ones. I’ll post updates when I receive them and then start drilling holes in the various glass and/or ceramic tile surfaces as I see fit. God Bless.

That’s me right now using the ½” diamond grit hole saw bit. Very refreshing.

Unsurprised

Isn’t the optimal position in the front of the skull?

imagining that is a full size floor carpet background

Unsurprised

I tried to take a walk. Wrong clothes. Wrong layers. No tunes.

nice of San Fran to give Pearsall a shot

Now THAT is a suit!

King Hippo

Norv Turner sighting? HOLY CATS.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Any of these games worth watching? I may go for a walk.

King Hippo

Only Vikes/Truthers, which is at HT

blaxabbath

YEAH RIGHT SAYS YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY GO FOR A WALK!!!!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Tell that Vikings fan to stop fat shaming me

litre_cola

He isn’t a normal one, he is quite lithe.

Doktor Zymm

Even Hanson sounds bored when he has to cut to the Jags/Raiders abomination

Gatoraids

Probably gripping viewing for Giants fans though

fleshwound_NPG

bears fans have now joined the server

Gatoraids

kicked from server for smurfing by having twice as many wins

fleshwound_NPG

ah, but if a three-win team wins the chance to move up the draft board goes up!

Horatio Cornblower

Only 27 points up on Blax in the Lowratio League and he still has Dak Prescott to go tonight and…Oh. Oh dear.

blaxabbath

I don’t even have Dak on my team. He’s a locker room cancer and I won’t have that shit on my squad.

blaxabbath

Arizona lost to Carolina.

Kyler Murray has NEVER won a playoff or must-win-to-make-playoffs game. Dude absolutely fades away at the times a team needs it’s QB to take control. I’m not a lifelong Kyler hater either — this is him every single year. Dude is in the HOF for having a perfect QBR Week 3 against the DEAD Rams when nothing mattered — just doesn’t know how to manage a meaningful football game.

Bidwill outta just extend him again.

Horatio Cornblower

Hey, that’s the 4th round pick for my FF team that Yahoo sprained a shoulder patting itself on the back for making!

Well, that and something named ‘Hollywood Brown’ who I’m pretty sure is dead.

blaxabbath

Yahoo builds teams for the regular season, not the playoffs.

Horatio Cornblower

Judging by the regular season results they don’t do that, either.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

You had me at “Bidwell out”. I’m delighted that he’s finally able to live freely as himself.

Horatio Cornblower

Showing my age because I came in from a 4ish mile hike with the dog in 15-20 degree weather and celebrated by making myself hot tea with lemon and honey, and popping some corn.

It’s gettin’ weird in here!!!

ThePirateSloth

There’s gonna be some serious synchronized snoring action happening with my older dog later this afternoon.

Gatoraids

if I had a winning season and trying to make a Super Bowl run as the Bills I wouldnt be caught dead wearing those old uniforms

blaxabbath

I like the red helmet for the bills.

Gatoraids

yeah I like them too maybe they should let the team wear them except for the kicker.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

49ers fans are complaining that “you had one job, Jets” as though they aren’t putting more unrealistic expectations on an employee than if you’d hired a dog to drive a bus.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

(not you, rockingdog. I’d ride your bus every day of the week and to church on Sunday)

Beerguyrob

The dog doesn’t take Ayahusca.

Gatoraids

most of the Jets wont have a job next year

rockingdog

Found a funny:

I love the drone panic because its a reminder that despite all our technology and societal advancement we’re never more than one unanswered question from reverting to peasants worried we’ll make the stars mad

ArmedandHammered

yeah, but the peasants didn’t know better or have a basic education like these idiots

Horatio Cornblower

You’re assuming a lot there.

ArmedandHammered

I know, I have tried and tried to destroy those tiny threads of hope and optimism.

Gatoraids

that is verily a-rumbling

this holiday coca cola ad was made with ai*

*nobody got paid, cpus used more energy than a homeless shelter, looked only 95% finished (like all ai-made things), and you’re wondering why they just dont remaster their old polar bear ads from the 90s, like corona using the same feliz navidad commercial for decades)

blaxabbath

I’ll watch AI Gruden and Romo do Corona ads for decades.

Unsurprised

They ground up more hoboes for energy than scotch’s entire career.

ArmedandHammered

Holy shit! The combo of the Fins and 49’s uniforms is mind searing for some reason.

King Hippo

P*ts…lead?

Beerguyrob

Well, led lead.

ballsofsteelandfury

Oh, I CANNOT WAIT for Blax’ comments on the Cardinals!

ArmedandHammered

He’s headed to Hawaii, he ain’t got no time fer that! Wahinis to oggle, waves to surf, and fresh pineapple and fruit be taking up all his time. As it would for me as well.

clint greasewood

It’s Cardover

ArmedandHammered

The got Carded.

BaldingSpiritually

And that makes it two teams with tiny QBs who are officially eliminated from the playoffs

Spur

They came up short

Brick Meathook

Goodbye Arizona.

I’m watch NFL Red Zone for the first time ever (via a FUBO new subscriber free-month scam I’m doing for the fifth time) and man is this sensory overload.

Brick Meathook

Every time I look over at my laptop a different game is playing.

King Hippo

Very much a window during which Footy Manager will featUre

this OT really cutting into Kyler’s Marvel Rivals time

Spur

he mains Squirrel Girl

ArmedandHammered

She is one of the most powerful Marvel superheroes:

She beat Thanos! Thanos! Kicked the shit out of Doctor Doom as well.

BaldingSpiritually

Win or lose my Black Panthers gave up leads of 20 – 3 and 30 – 20. On one hand we really need a decent defense, on the other we’re capable of scoring 30 points

I saw a sideline staff member during a bowl game with a “JESUS WON” hoodie. Maybe the Clubhouse could get ya that for Xmas?

Beerguyrob

I’m sure Fanatics has it, but it’s spelled “Jesus Won”.

Unsurprised

“Jesús Won”

But Home Depot only sponsors a HBCU bowl game.

ThePirateSloth

Lol, he’s on 1st Ave? He’s usually posted up right in front of the Pro Shop.

Beerguyrob

There were a half dozen of them today, like Xmas made them panic about the reason for the season.

ArmedandHammered

I don’t get how people actually believe this shit, it was written (according to history I think may be correct) by a religious fanatic high on some sort of LSD type trip.

Gumbygirl

I dunno, we believe shit written here by people who are on all kinds of drugs!

Spur

Winner Winner. Parley is Good! Its been a great week.

Now we know where all of Bug-Eyed Boo’s good luck went this week.
