Motherfucker

At what point is a team just going to stop trying to win against Kansas City and just go full Bounty Bowl on them?

WCS

I don’t know why any team bothers attempting third downs against Kansas City.

WCS

I’m not suggesting it’s getting tired and old to hear, but Stillers radio has made us listeners more aware the home team is undefeated on Christmas Day (2-0 wow) than Jerome Bettis being a Detroit native.

ballsofsteelandfury

Well, luckily that will end today

The TSN simulcast is actually enjoyable, because there is no picture flutter. I can see the refs helping the Chiefs in clear 1080p.

King Hippo

Lucky motherfucking sumbitches.

Redshirt

I knew the footballs were remote controlled!

Unsurprised

Netflix sucks.

This seems like a huge mistake on my part, which is already saying something.

oh well. I am getting Thai for lunch and that’s my day

Beerguyrob

That’s a real Christmas miracle.

Redshirt

Chekhov’s Missed XP?

Fronkenshteen

And they show the stupid fucking celebration in slo-mo after it costs the team a point! We really are the dumbest fucking country on the planet.

WCS

Jesse Watters suggested Elon is doing such a great job, the latter should run for President.

The former also has repeatedly said his favorite document is the US Constitution.

Redshirt

Don’t worry, Trump will veto the Constitution on Day 3.

King Hippo

We seriously should feed this goofiness. Have him sink millions into a Constitutional amendment. Trump will go apeshit with fury.

Redshirt

Trump will fire Musk by May. Then who knows what happens after that.

Brick Meathook

Musk is an illegal immigrant. Deport his ass.

WCS

HAIL SHANK’LOR ON THIS BLESSED DAY

ballsofsteelandfury

Did I just see a bunch of fat chicks advertising donut-flavoured soap?

Unsurprised

“Cookie”-flavored soap. Yes.

Redshirt

Referee: “Unsportsmanlike Conduct, Kansas City, #1, 15 Yard Penalty” (beeper buzzes) “What? Really? Uh, Palpably Unfair Act, Head Referee. I am disqualified from the game.?”

Jimbo

Nailed it!

Redshirt

Two timeouts in four minutes? Huh.

Redshirt

I think the next thing is to have helmet cams for all the players, so you can see their POV as they run the plays.

Mr. Ayo

Also get a first person view of getting CTE without the brain pudding!

Unsurprised

The CTE costs extra

Redshirt

The next step after is to show the POV as the CTE is formed

yeah right

That’s a pretty damn good looking picture on Netflix.

Much better than the Tyson fight fiasco.

King Hippo

REALLY SWELL of the Yinzers to lie down and let the Chefs tickle their bellies from the jump.

Redshirt

Option A: Root for Steelers, as a Kansas City loss will mean they play to win Week 18 and a Steelers win and a Ravens loss could backdoor the Steelers clinching Week 18 and resting their starters against Bengals.

Option B: Recognizing that I’m the Bad Luck Guy, I can weaponize the curse and root for the Chiefs. I’ll be able to root for a winner, the Clubhouse doesn’t really have a villain, and lets be honest, its kind of refreshing playing the Heel.

Option C: Rooting for Gravity. If I can’t have happiness, I can root for Gravity, strap myself down to something bolted down to the ground and sit back and watch the world slowly end as everyone floats into space and enjoy the sweat release of death as the Earth’s atmosphere leaves the planet leaving Earth as another dead rock floating in space.

Any suggestions about which choice?

ballsofsteelandfury

Yes

Jimbo

Wow, Mariah looking good.

WCS

I do find it hilarious the NFL just shat all over the NBA’s Christmas Day inanity.

Game Time Decision

Went by it looking for football and was so confused

We had one of those bb guns that look like a real Winchester.

Dad got to choose what we would have for Christmas Dinner: TACO WEDNESDAY!

To be fair, after getting shafted out of a hotel room and forced to give birth in a stable surrounded by complete strangers who randomly showed up bearing gifts and a drum, odds are Joseph and Mary would take the next day easy by getting a takeout order of tacos and watching football.

ballsofsteelandfury

Taco Bell Chicken nuggets are surprisingly good

WCS

It best be gently used.

King Hippo

Kay Adams, showing Hippo some Xmas shoulder. God bless her.

The rib roast is in the smoker set for rare/med rare. I made Welsh Rarebit from scratch last night for bacon, tomato, and toasted English muffins which we pour the rarebit over. Plenty left over rarebit for the asparagus to be glammed up ar dinner, with yorkshire pudding. And caramel apple tartlets for dessert.

Merry Christmas to all!

Doktor Zymm

Yummy!

Unsurprised

Can I come over?

So one of our Christmas traditions is to make bread in the bread maker gizmo so it’s ready when we get up Christmas morning.
Here’s this year’s bread
comment image

I don’t think that I put enough water in so it didn’t work. Like at all. There’s still flour all through the “loaf”.

We’ve had a few times where the bread didn’t rise as much as it should but nothing like this.

Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate and happy feativus to everyone else. Or happy Wednesday depending on where in the world you are.

Doktor Zymm

I was hoping that was powdered sugar and it was apple streudel bread or something, oh well. Maybe mash it up with some more water and toss it back in the gizmo?

ballsofsteelandfury

It could be cocaine…

Game Time Decision

There’s no fixing it, it’s done at the bottom but raw or just flour in other parts

King Hippo

A Very Sam Darnold Breadmaker Experience

Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals.

My son just got Mrs. Horatio and I airline tickets to Key West for Xmas. We must have done something right.

Weird that they’re one way though.

Doktor Zymm

For Xmas this year I get to be Mike Tomlin 🤣

Offensive Coordinator? Fine. My offensive philosophy is to give Zac Taylor a broken headset and let Joe Burrow call the plays on the field. I’m also willing to take a paycut to help fund a Scouting Department.

ballsofsteelandfury

Great. I’m a kicker.

Better than being the mascot like me

Happy football day to all of you.

WCS

Love how my parents insist I eat something, yet *every* time I approach the kitchen, I’m told to stay out to keep from getting in the way.

yeah right

Happy festive day!

Gonna have a breakfast tea and biscuits then starting the 3 day cook for the mother sauce. Lasagne on Saturday when we gather the tribe.

Today I’ll be baking brined and breaded pork chops with gratin potatoes. Using a lovely aged gouda in the potatoes. Should be lovely.

Got a bottle of to shelf pinot noir too.

Doktor Zymm

I’m flying to Chicago today and have some Detroit Pizza waiting for me in the freezer, but might make borcht tomorrow. I’ve gotten close to my grandmother’s for the broth at least

yeah right

I was thinking about trying Erwtensoep for New Year’s. I’ve got a ham bone and some sausage and split peas are practically free.

Maybe some crusty bread?

Doktor Zymm

Sounds good, give it a go for sure!

Don T

I completed an evening / late evening party doubleheader yesterday (a blast and WOOOOO, respectively). Will also have another today, starting about the 1st pregame show 😶.
Yes, I am proud of myself for socializing, senkyooverymoosh. And also have been planting the seed to going Full Reclusin’ for 2024 Playoffs (Don’t Bother Calling)©️

ArmedandHammered

I see no problem with going full recluse all the time, so much easier.

Happy Jesus Birthday

Be safe today; don’t call me at work.

911, which family member is hitting which family member?
Also, how many weapons are being used by each person?

Doktor Zymm

Are any people on fire or just the pets?

ArmedandHammered

How many were caught in the splash radius as the turkey was drunkenly dropped into the fryer.

Caller: “Help, my nephew just stabbed my brother!”
WCS 911: “Did your brother vote for Trump?”
Caller: “Why yes he did?”
WCS 911: “Sorry, can’t help you.”
Caller: “Why not?”
WCS 911: “Budget cutbacks from Co-President Musk. Best I can offer you is directions to the nearest Walgreens and a Discount Code for a Trump Bible.”
Caller: “WHAT KIND OF… How much off is the discount?”
WCS 911: “There is no discount. Its only a Discount Code.”
Caller: “WHO OFFERS A DISCOUNT CODE THAT DOESN’T DISCOUNT THE PRICE?!”
WCS 911: “Ask the guy bleeding out. He’s the one who voted for him.”

¡Feliz Navidad! (🎶pa papa paaa🎶) & Happy Hannukah (🎶pa papa paaa🎶) too.

Merry Christmas, and to my Imaginary Globalist Pals? Happy Wednesday.

blaxabbath

It truly is time to celebrate an event that happened near Passover.

Doktor Zymm

Does making teams work on Christmad mean Goodell is an unreformed Scrooge that will be killed by the ghost of NFL future? I think Tank Dell is Tiny Tim because he is both tiny and has crutches, so hopefully he’ll get lots of toys and a turkey

Game Time Decision

I assume that both Tank Dell and Lowratio are getting quail and being told its turkey

Horatio Cornblower

Merry Christmas to my favoUrite imaginary people.

I’m up at the crack of 10:00 am today. I do love being an empty-nester.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I was up until 1 a.m. drinking with a woman who claims to have introduced Marky Mark and Jeremy Piven to each other (making her responsible for the existence of Entourage) and I’m headed to a Korean church service in two hours. This is going to be a day.

litre_cola

Will there be Bulgogi?

Horatio Cornblower

That’s a weird way to spell “throwing up in church,” but I’ll still go with ‘yes’

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Actually, maybe. I think we might head to Koreatown after church for some kind of meal.
