A Very Carpenter Opening Day Open Thread

So we were just chatting in the back rooms

(It looks just like that, but with more crumbs and beer stains)

celebrating that in, (checks wrist), 13 MINUTES!?!?!?!?!?!? the 2026 football season will be upon us for reals, and we can all check out of the depressing reality that is day-t0-day life, and check in to various mild gambling addictions, fantasy sports, and dick jokes while watching football while ignoring our jobs, our families, and our basic hygiene requirements.

I know I’m excited for it!

Tonight the, (checks internet), New England Fahckin’ Pats play the reigning, defending, Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks, in Seattle.  Will Seattle repeat their Super Bowl beatdown of the Patriots?  Will the Patriots recover some shred of dignity and not just roll over and show their belly?  Will Mrs. Vrabel one-shot Diana Russini right out the press box!

TUNE IN AND FIND OUT!!

EIGHT MINUTES PEOPLE!!!  EIGHT MINUTES!!!!

EMBRACE THE CHAOS!!  LET’S FUCKING GO!!!

Sharkbait

Holy shit Cris. We get it. The O line was trash in the Super Bowl. Shut the fuck up

Don T

Serious question: between Skattebo’s dog food and Arby’s steak nuggets—which?

fleshwound_NPG

no meat is edible anymore

litre_cola

But it is 25% off!

Sharkbait

Local farm share FTW!

Doktor Zymm

Can I deep fry the dog food?

WCS

“You can deep fry a garden hose and it would be good.”

(he’s right you know)

WCS

They’re both the same wombat meat with fillers, so it’s not like there’s any difference.

Odds Skattebo has tried the dog food he’s shilling?

WCS

There’s a reason he’s shilling it. Goes down great with a hearty serving of CTE, bro!

Gumbygirl

In a bowl on the floor.

“You’re the only one who understsnds me” /pets pup, is licked in face all over with 2nd hand dog food

fyi the mets and marlins are both outscoring ne/sea right now

Unsurprised

Evergreen reminder that you can watch in Spanish.

Don T

1st down on a D penalty, drive stalls, punt at the 5. Pray for a safety. Purists cum.

Backrooms freaks me the fuck out, and I love it more than bourbaon.

Taking an extra laptop to Greenland so I can stream Red Zone, mmmm addiction

Gumbygirl

Oof, GTD, there goes your wr. And he’s also my qb’s wr. Our fantasy game is off to a craptacular start, we’ll each be lucky to get to 60 points at this rate.

I’m hoping for double digits at this point, like total for the week

Spur

We waited half a year to watch Drew Lock play football. Something is wrong with us.

Sharkbait

Not liking McDaniel’s decision making here

fleshwound_NPG

double digit insurmountable

WCS

Okay, Yinzer reporting for duty again.

LemonJello

Wouldn’t it be humorous if instead of the challenge flag, Vrabel tossed a pair of Russini’s ‘dainty underthings’ onto the field?

fleshwound_NPG

that would insinuate that she wore them in the first place

Don T

Ah yes, the Vrabel review threat. Weak thatRe

jjfozz

Follow the money

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

When you have Angelina Jolie (at her peak) and then lose Angelina Jolie (still pretty much at her peak), there’s pretty much nowhere to go but down.

Don T

Maybe the magic wears off after the 7th adopted child.

Gumbygirl

He looks like Bad Santa for real now.

King Hippo

Now HE don’t shit right for a week smgdh

Every single second of NFL content beyond actual game action is completely unwatchable, and listening to even that raises the blood pressure. Did anyone read or hear anything positive about Cris Colinsworth’s performance or style after last season? I didn’t. But I heard exhaustion and irritation regarding his persistent horseshit from all directions. Yet here he is week 1 in midseason form, absolutely smothering the viewer with his unnecessary gushing and fawning, refusing to let the viewer relax. All I want is a button to turn it all off; just cut the booth and leave the sounds of the stadium. I genuinely do not understand, with the technology that now exists, why someone can’t make that happen.

jjfozz

THIS GUY COLLINSWORTH, ICALL HIM PETER NORTH BECAUSE HE COMES LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN OVER AND OVER AGAIN!

Sharkbait

Well fuckity doo
