This One’s For All The Bananas. It’s Sunday Night Football!

It really doesn’t get much better than this. That it comes from the NFC North is a question that football historians will debate even two weeks from now. I remember way back in the day when the one win Giants and Niners met on a Sunday(?) night in 1990. This clash is right up there.

To The Game!

Vikes/Lions

-The loser is the most ridiculously powerful #5 seed that has ever been and going on the road wouldn’t be an impediment to success. (feel free to correct me)

-There was a look-a-like Dan Campbell Contest. Several entrants suffered knee-related injuries.

-Can I say anything more about Goff? He’s flinging it at a 77% rate. Deniers will go the “Dome” route but I’m in the “right time, perfect place” camp. It’s the offense running on all cylinders because he makes the perfect pass every time.

-This is going to be fascinating-Gibbs has gone nuts (thanks fantasy champeenship!) but the Vikes D is holding teams to 88 yards per game. OC Ben Johnson doesn’t turn away from the rush that easily if stymied so we’re going to see a chess game.

-Lions linebacker might be back from the walking wounded squadoo but from what I’ve seen of Alex Anzalone..yeah, he’s a tackling machine for runners up the middle but that guy is slow tracking tight ends or rb’s out of the backfield.

-The Lions have won four straight vs their Minny opponents for the first time in a while.

-My sneaky game-breaker tonight? He goes by the name of Jalen Nailor. He’s a #2 wr in the making that is 4th in the pecking order behind JJ, Addison and Hockey. He’ll only get, at most, four looks but if they’re at the right time he’ll do damage.

Enjoy.

yeah right

Well, just took my first whisky shot of the evening.

That’s life!

I wish this game had been more deserving of such an A+ effort by the kommentist party. That’s a wrap on the regular season – let’s hit the showers and wake up tomorrow in playoff mode.

LET’S GET A GODDAMN SNACK!

I’m loving the fact that Tyreek is having his hissy fit in front of a Giants anti-gambling integrity poster.

My SIL brought this rum back from the Bahamas, with a rum cake. I had them with French Vanilla pudding. It was delish, the Big Black Dick of my dreams!

Based on tonight, Hate Week is already starting to come into focus.

Any suggestions are warmly appreciated. Gmail is always open.

How do we find mails?

The Lions’ eventual loss is going to be something else after all this buildup.

WCS

They’re either going to be ’85 Bears Tier, or ’98 Vikings.

Bogdanski

Broken wifi on southwest flight but looks like I didn’t miss much

Downfield Matriculator

I feel like showing Jones on the sideline was a clean set up for Tirico to talk about throwing him into the Lions den, but he ain’t that quick and Collinsworth would have explained it and ruined the humor anyway

Doktor Zymm

I tried wearing a pair of compression socks and I think the secret is that they are just really uncomfortable socks

Gumbygirl

I think it’s just such a relief when you take them off that it seems like it must be good for you?

yeah right

If I said I’ve never seen this movie before I would be a liar.

And no.

I’m not going to Inglewood next week.

Well that’s not true because I practically work there.

Gumbygirl

You at least have more hope than those of us who are of the Yinzish persuasion. We’re going to get absolutely trucked by the fucking Ravens!

Downfield Matriculator

Losing 2x in Bawlmer to end the season sounds about right.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Might I suggest Reseda instead?

Fun Fact: Olivia Manning once had a nightmare that there was a freeway running through her yard.

We are enemies now (for eight days).

Perhaps we can break bread afterwards.

yeah right

I would like that.

Que es un catch?

WHAT IS FOOTBALL MOVE?

Downfield Matriculator

Oh good, one last “Is it a catch” for the regular season. Somewhere, Calvin Johnson is chuckling to himself.

Downfield Matriculator

I stand corrected; there will be one more

Doktor Zymm

Detroit should probably sit their defensive starters now and play their… What is it, 8th string now?

WCS

18th

It was funny to see the same people making this joke for 20 years lose their minds over Christmas about H-1B visas.

They have had an incredibly aggressive awards campaign. We get a copy of Variety every week (we are not subscribed to Variety) shilling the hell out of that movie.

They were never, ever snapping that.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Yeah, I know that Dan Cambell has a reputation but come on.

King Hippo

Maybe that reputation helped sell the fake/made them extra jumpy? I dunno, they were fucked even with 3.

Doktor Zymm

Definitely helps him pull off those sorts of bluffs

Horatio Cornblower

Detroit’s DC is about to crack a beer while sitting on the bench.

fleshwound_NPG

hold it, two more injuries and he gotta suit up

Brick Meathook

I’m so sorry! I got wrapped up with these two 33 year old hookers that I neglected to follow this game thread. I’m reading back on the comments made while I was in the hot “sex” tub with them; I wish I could have commented. Oh well. At least they’re both sleeping face down. Anal sex time! 😀

King Hippo

You wouldn’t expect the guy named “Muhammad” to pick #69, but there ya go

You’re allowed to do that?

Horatio Cornblower

Somewhere, in a lonely corner of the sportswriting universe, a man named Greg with way too many g’s in his name writes ‘Game Over’ in a tattered notebook. His coffee has grown cold and stale, and there is no one there to refill his chipped cup, nor to care about the contents of his tattered notebook.
