Your NFL-Quality Football Fixture: An Open Thread

Look, at least they’re wearing pads and such so that we can pretend, right? It’s a scrimmage on steroids but we have to stretch our eyeball muscles as well.  And who among doesn’t need a little Easton Stick in their lives? I haven’t done this in a while so bear with me…

Tru Da Gamble!

Nope, that’s not it.

Two Le Contest!

That’s not it either.

To The Game! (nailed it)

Chargers/Lions:

-Remember when Goff had that sorta bridge QB status until Detroit found a real guy to put under center? Hendon Hooker, he of the gaudy stats in college had some folks thinking that they’d found the replacement. Oh well. We’ll also get a peek at Trey Lance, who everyone has talked about forever and he’s just 25. Folks, don’t draft a QB that’s got all of 12 college games under his belt.

-Another fella we’ll see calling signals will be the Chargers DJ “The Human Vowel” Uiagalelei!

-Coincidence? Both teams are 2-3 in their last five tilts.

-Can I Look At The Rooks?: Dan Campbell says, “Chew on this-I’m not playing the 1st and 2nd round picks.”

-We will see Lions wideout Isaac TeSlaa-despite being prone to software glitches and battery degradation in rookie mini camp, he will try to earn a place in the wr room.

-Speaking of that spot, now that stalwarts Mike Williams and Keenan Allen are gone, it’s interesting to see how that unit will shake out. The young Ladd acquitted himself nicely last year and now LA is looking for someone to fill the slot spot-Tre Harris has the job off the hop.

-There was a bit of talk as to whether the Lions SB window was closing, what with them losing both their OC and DC but as I mentioned at some point Campbell should have seen this coming last year and prepared for it. I think that most of that yakking was offseason chatter fodder. One reason is that-looking over a few Detroit sites-there’s not a single position battle for starter on either side of the ball. Everything is in place. I wonder what the hell that would be like, Jeezuz!

Welcome back, everyone!

Terry McClaurin wants out of the Commies? He does know Danny Boy doesn’t own them anymore, right?

Doktor Zymm

That’s why he’s still talking to them instead of on a different team 5 months ago I assume

WCS

You know, the Stillers have one more shot with Qaron, will be picking their next franchise QB next year, and a pretty ludacris amount of capital in the Draft and salary cap…

My 11:05PM flight from ATL to BWI is now delayed until 2:00AM due to thunderstorms. But the Atlanta Delta Club bar closes at midnight!

What kind of Southern Hospitality is this shit! I need booze, dammit!

Dunstan

Ah, you should have taken the Midnight Train to Georgia, they serve all night

blaxabbath

Spam doesnt understand how I even got to ATL.

Gumbygirl

You’re in Atlanta? That must have been one hell of a tsunami!

BIG DUMPER!

I said sorry…where’s the plunger?

blaxabbath

This 16 year old refugee kid who used my bathroom during the tsunami clogged up the toilet.

Then he plunged it and I was like — good.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

This has got to be the most preposterous box score I have ever seen.

Mr. Ayo

This was a fun watch. I think I enjoyed it more than Redshirt, but only because of the final inning.

Horatio Cornblower

/points to 8th inning

See, there’s your problem, right there.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’m told you should always split 8’s but this is ridiculous.

SonOfSpam

You’ve been waiting 29 years for this. Happy for you!

Dunstan

I’m not gonna lie, those bears were terrible to work with.

SonOfSpam

The first one was too hard…

Gumbygirl

Dammit, Spam! I was just going to lurk to see what I missed, but I had to scroll the whole way to the bottom to log in (again!) just so I could +1 this. Don’t you realize Gumbygirl is old and tired?

I like fennel, but I agree it can be a bit overwhelming. You can tone it down with wine. Drink 3 or 4 glasses and your tastebuds will be numb. Speaking of wine, I’m having a glass of Joel Gott Sauvignon Blanc. It’s light and fruity, nice on a hot evening.

Gumbygirl

So Joel’s a bit light and fruity himself?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’d have wine but I have to pick the Dr. Mrs. up from the airport. Then, wine.

Gumbygirl

Have you vacuumed the entire house? Tick tock.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I actually have cleaned the floors.

Its an acquired taste…

(reading phone “Update: Atlanta 11 – Cincinnati 3”)

Me: “Oh, I hope this is a preseason NFL game.”

Redshirt

8 runs in the 8th inning. Way to go Bullpen!

Mr. Ayo

And so many errors. Glad MLB TV had it on for the laughs.

Redshirt

…and on cue, we’re flirting with going plaid.

Redshirt

The courting has begun!

Mr. Ayo

PLAID confirmed. Damn.

Redshirt

Maybe they did go to Paycor for the 8th Inning.

Gatoraids

Well, I’ve done it. After over two decades in my current Fortress of Bachelortude, I’m going to be moving to a new place with my girlfriend.

My liquor cabinet is fiercely guarded.

Brick Meathook

Don’t leave the toilet seat up.

Dunstan

It’s ok, I’ve been peeing sitting down for years. Standing is exhausting!

Gumbygirl

Hero.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The upside of the Dr. Mrs.’ flight being delayed by like four hours is that it gives me extra time to shoo away all the blackjack and hookers.

Dunstan

You told me she liked hookers!

Oh, wait, no, I guess you said “Hoovers.”

Gatoraids

be sweet to leave a bunch of vacuum cleaner cards on sidewalks of vegas

Gumbygirl

TeSlaa has a magnificent mullet!

I was NAWT expecting that hair!

The NFL is too rough for such a gentle soul. I feel like he’d be more at home working as a bartender on love-themed cruise ship.

Ok, I’ve seen enough. Clips are winning the Owl, place yer bets!

Gatoraids

Boltman would celebrate but he was sold by Spanos to be consumed by Grok to generate shitty AI gambling ads

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

A story about Grok ingesting Boltman only to become Boltman would be great for Halloween.

King Hippo

I can turn this off after Q1, yeah? That should be enough NFL Healing, and we can get those goshdarned guns back in our schools where they BELONG!

It’s Doinkmas in July!

Gumbygirl

DOINKKK!!!

This game used to be methadone for football fans; these days it’s methadone for fans of gambling on football.

Fronkenshteen

Happy goddamn football everyone! I’ll be doing homework all night, and I might only be drinking fizzy water, but holy crap does this feel nice. I’m not even annoyed with Colinsworth…oh, wait. Yes I am.

fleshwound_NPG

nfl football in july, even if it is a fake game, is an extreme un-christian act. nowhere in the bible nor quran does it say play football on the 7th month

almost as bad as school beginning in the first week of august

Gatoraids

yeah our is starting 2nd week of august , super shitty for high school football players down here

fleshwound_NPG

even worse for field turf stadiums, but at least it isnt astro turf fumes in the hot august sun slowly killing 1990s phillies baseball players levels of bad

that we know of

July football is for the CFL, damnit!

I would say that’s a bad omen for the lions, but both of these teams are cursed, so who knows

is that a name of a town in England to move the Jags to?

Doktor Zymm

They won’t be moving to West Bromwich, they already have a footy team with a kickass mascot

Weird way to spell “plausible deniability” but OK.

My Cleats, My Cause would be cool if it gave us all players wearing shoes that support shooting up the NFL offices.

If TeSlaa can trap a ball even half as well as his namesake car traps passengers while on fire and/or sinking into a lake then he’s got a bright future in this league!

What have we done that we deserve Collinsworth part 2 electric boogaloo?

That’s easy. We touch ourselves.

It’s Scuzzlebutt’s leg!

I notice you left out the fact that we get Tirico and Collinsworth.

MUTE BUTTON ENGAGED!

Gumbygirl

Aaaaaaaaaargh! What the fuck are those talking HOF busts!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Will listen briefly to hear if Collinsworth sounds any closer to death then hit mute.

They might be too woke. It’s Ted Nugent and Emil Bove.
