Merry Football Christmas!

There’s plenty of chatter regarding these games having been salient when the season began and now they’re irrelevant. Or, more specifically, not as relevant as they could be. I say, “who is sitting down to watch this stuff with a keen eye on Christmas Day?”. To me this is excellent stuff to have on in the background as the eating and greeting and traveling and catching up is going on.

So what does that mean? I’ll not do a regular game intro for this tilt at least. Let everyone know what your day is like (should you choose, we’re all internet buddies and more here)

To The Game!

Cowboys/Commies:

-FUCK THE COWBOYS!

 

That is all.

Look when you’re our age and you’ve had a really big meal it can be more challenging to get it up

Beerguyrob

Hail tryptophan!

ANybody watch s2 of Fallout yet? Season 1 was “eh” but the Lucy character was hot enough to keep me interested.

But if it goes farther off the rails into nonsense-land, I am not sure I want to be bothered.

Lord knows it can’t be as horrid as s2 of The Last of Us, but the series kind of rhyme so I am skeptical.

NotShogunButShogun

We will be over the next few days. We found Silo on Apple to be great

King Hippo

I refuse to subscribe to anything Apple, but have enjoyed the Silo books.

SonOfSpam

I read the Silo books, will have to check that out.

I enjoyed Fallout season 1; close enough to the video game to be interesting.

Senor Weaselo

That whole game is misery porn.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’m concerned. Lisa Joy was in charge of Westworld when it really went off the rails. I think that’s her thing.

…and on cue, they kick a capitalistic, cowardly field goal on 3rd down.

King Hippo

But the spread was 9, da?

Redshirt

8.5 points. Like Communism, the ruling class of the Party profits from the losses of the Working Class.

litre_cola

9.5 si.

Beerguyrob

There’s gotta be someone in the stands thinking the team has gone to shit since Snyder sold the team.

Doktor Zymm

Look for tinfoil hats

Beerguyrob

I see Warshington has come close but hit a wall.

The Maestro

Merry Christmas, everyone. Babyman and Lady Maestro have been snoozing all the way through today’s early game which has allowed me to watch in peace. What a gift.

litre_cola

Mrs Cola got me a really cool booky book for Jesus day. Its snapshots of the newspaper pages from long ago. I am nerding out.

No mention of the Wacko Jacko statue from 2011…

Doktor Zymm

Such a nasty nickname, and now that I think about it the 80s tabloid press explains a LOT about Trump. As far as I know the statue was a nice thing though, cause the owner was a fan? Seems like no reason not to mention it, even if it was ridiculed.

litre_cola

Yes, Mikey was mates with Mohammed Al Fayed and did come to the Cottage a few times. A lot of stuff has come out about that guy too.

It was fun to see the Knicks put on a show for their fans for Christmas.

Eventually, speed up. Because he’ll drive home.

This is so good that I want to hang Tony Dungy parenting joke in here somewhere.

Afternoon, friends. Finally showered and up and did a little bit of grading (but I have to figure out class participation and how I’m gonna curve that shit because grades are due tomorrow!)

Thanks again for hearing me out.

Doktor Zymm

Just slap a minus on whatever grade you were gonna give, none of those fuckers participated

We are always here for you!

Anytime. Except for between 4:00 and 5:00 on Tuesdays.

Good morning. Deci was up at 445. That was quite early. Have already had the morning nap, now onto wine drinking!

Ooh, they have a goose special because xmas. With that apple red cabbage the Germans do and potato dumplings. I think I will!

BLEERGH got the message from NFL HQ. Ratings are dropping. Netflix is getting nervous. Keep the Commies in the game.

Hey only 5 more field goals and they are right back in this thing…

Fine intro!

Since I’m far more concerned with not getting sick than I am with jet lag on a 2 day trip, and because I nicknamed the guy sitting behind me on the flight ‘Mr Mucus’ I went to sleep as soon as I checked into my hotel. Now it’s 8 pm and gonna see if the restaurant is still open and maybe see if I can find the game on. There’s a chance in Germany.

2Pack

If you’re in Germany good luck. As I recall they lock down pretty tight on Christmas.

Unsurprised

Doktor Zymm

It’s a nice hotel, they have to have something open! Wouldn’t be surprised if I could find a kebab place open too, bless the Muslims, but that’ll be lunch tomorrow.

King Hippo

I expected nothing from this fixture, and still am let down.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It’s a little freaky how I switched to ESPN but Amazon Music refused to stop playing Christmas songs.

I love that guy! I need to dig out my Onion compilations, they always make me laugh.

Doktor Zymm

Could actually be useful for Google sheets. “How do I do this thing that’s really simple in excel but google decided not to implement for some reason?”
Of course web search works for that too

Other 31 teams, make the phone call. Bonus points if its the Giants, since its the Jets who caused this.

Lawyerball strikes again!

Unsurprised

This isn’t a bad broadcast during gameplay.

I think a huge problem with Cris or Joe and Troy is that they are personalities. That makes them eventually exaggerate all their particular bullshit points because they are the product in their minds (and wallets). Local guys or these NFL guys aren’t bulletproof to injecting their own bullshit, unless that is something the audience wants.

Anyway, fuck the Cowboys.

Redshirt

These retro Washington uniforms are perfect. Even the generic W logo adds to the design.

Beerguyrob

I assume all the players are working on individual bonuses today rather than team glory.

Redshirt

That’s how I placed my bets for today.

Speaking of which, Deebo just got paid.

Downfield Matriculator

LDB success this year for me. To keep the universe balanced, I suspect that means Myles Garrett will sack A.A. Ron at least 5 times to get the record on Sunday.

/and Merry Christmas, you animals!

Downfield Matriculator

Update: Just heard LDB a bit ago on a Knick-Cavs outro . . . kids are watching hoops and I am not fighting them to watch the meteor fail to hit Landover. I think this means an angel get his wings?

Merry Christmas from Lambeau and our front door. Riga refused to pose.

Goodell is a Xmas disgrace.

King Hippo

No Mina Kines nor Kay Adams on this year’s Netflix panel? Booooooo

King Hippo

scratch that, Kay on the other panel. But Irvin for Kimes is an AWFUL substitution.

Beerguyrob

Kay Adams likely chose to hang out with Seth Rollins. The girl likes the graps.

King Hippo

I was wondering who the fuck Seth Rollins was. Assumed I likely ain’t really want to know.

Gumbygirl

Merry Christmas my darling dears! I’m off to Riverside to hang out with my SIL’s cats for a few hours, and maybe watch the footieball if she has Netflix- I do not. And then back here for my rib roast, taters, and creamed spinach. Wine too!

King Hippo

let us know which Riverside kitty earns Xmas favoUrite status!

Gumbygirl

It’s a tie! Loki is sweet, dumb, and a majestically floofy Maine Coon cat. Luna is the tiniest full grown cat I’ve ever seen, but in her mind she’s a lioness! She is a badass, I love her.

Enjoy. Boune Natale!

such a fantastic moviefilm, dunno how it could NOT be in everyone’s Top 10.

Woke up feeling morose. Turns out, it was a light hangover 🙃
Hosted The Heiress and, gasp, her mother for a pancake breakfast. A fun and civilized time was had by all, gotta say.
Now I’m off to see Madre for lunch at my sister, and aggravate them by speaking well of my Ex Wife 🤣🤣🤣

yeah right

The two eldest rights are scheduled to visit thus placing all of the right brothers in the same house for football and food.

There will be drinks and lots of food.

That’s a helluvan intro to the Cowboys game.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Merry Christmas everyone!

We don’t have a ton going on today – it’s just me, the Dr. Mrs., and her mother. We’re going to make some Japanese curry with beef, carrots, potatoes and mushrooms. The weather has cleared for the time being here in Los Angeles so we’re headed up to Griffith Park for a short hike, and then later on today (after the rain comes back, or after dark) I y’arr mateyed a copy of the Muppet Christmas Carol for us to watch.

Oh, and booze. I’m not sure what we’ll be having specifically but there’s plenty to work with.

If I’ve learned anything from video games, the curry goes best with coffee.

Okay, one specific video game.
