Your Very Last NFL Exhibition Game Open Thread

I’m a bit kerfuffled in that I thought that the preseason sked always finished on the Saturday night. But here we are with a Sunday night (not even a matinee!) tilt. However, given the teams that are playing, I get it, no one cares.

Minutiae Alert!:

-Will Grier’s going-away present to Old JJ and his new toy was a 300+ yard offering. Don’t feel too bad for Grier-between his work on The Waltons and the league’s general manager’s tendency to recycle qb’s into their mid-30’s, he’ll land somewhere safe and sound.

-Just to belabor a point, these are some of the qb’s that played yesterday: Matt Corral, Nate Sudfield, Brandon Allen, Kyle Allen, David Blough, Tyrod Taylor and Blaine Gabbbert. I guess I get it-the longer you’re around, the more systems and attendant nomenclature you pick up the more valuable you become.

-41-0. That’s quite the statement that The Payton Boys made.

-Shoutout to Mark Davis’ last ‘tonight girlfriend’ (provided for free by a certain agent) and her advice to get a deal done with Josh Jacobs before the season started. The deal is worth ‘up to’ 12 mil, which means it’s actually worth about 9 mil with the rest being paid out in bonuses like being voted the Most Outstanding Player in the 2024 Grey Cup.

-The Panthers lb Bumper Pool was released today. Social media informs me that his sister Infinity is inconsolable.

To the Game!

Texans/Saints:

-Really?

-No, Really?

-I’ve nothing to say. I eagerly await the Thursday September 7th, when the Lions and Chiefs meet up and everything becomes real.

Have at it.

Let’s hope Napoli go undefeated

Uh, is that an Adam’s apple this person trying to hide with stock Instagram pose Nr3, or it’s just someone that decided to do skimp on the bolt on mods by going to the nearest FIAT bodyshop?

Also geeeeewd morning to any DFOers still awake in this ungodly (for them) hour

bk109

Nevermind, did some quick googling and .. yeah, I may be in the minority, but that woman looked better without the Pep Boys bolt-ons.

Doktor Zymm

Having some wild mood swings today. Sometimes I hate everything, sometimes I only hate 96% of things

Just concentrate on the 4%. And be well, we’re counting on you.

Well, there’s only one thing you can do in such cases – plan your meteoric rise to the White House and then you can actually act on your darker impulses 🙂

I could help her with that.

Owner: “I’m tired of us losing the games due to a kicker choking. Do you understand me?”
GM: “Crystal clear, sir.”

WCS

Kickers aren’t people.

yeah right

I did the unthinkable and reactivated my Facebook account after 6 years away.

It’s actually cool to see my people. I love these people.

And I get to share gratuitous travel photos with everyone.

Portugal in a little over two weeks.

Fucking ready for this.

Redshirt

What?! Two Sundays from Football’s Glorious Return and you’re abandoning us for Real Peoples?!

Doktor Zymm

That reminds me, I gotta send my hotel some extra info to pay city taxes or something

yeah right

It’s like 7 Euros a day or something.

Doktor Zymm

Yup, that’s the one

Ships in the harbor are safe.
But that’s not what ships are made for.

LemonJello

If the NFL can’t be bothered to put two professional teams on the field for this game, I’m going to bed.

Later, Taters!

And Lemonjello didn’t wake up until next January

Do starters just not play in the preseason at all?

King Hippo

Week 3 is the new Week 4 (almost none do)

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Jimmy Graham is still playing football? What happened to his basketball career?

yeah right

This looks almost like football.

Who are the other guys playing the Saints?

LemonJello

It’s got to be a college team, maybe? Like an all-star team or something?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

That would explain the star on their helmet.

Doktor Zymm

I thought they were India celebrating their moon landing with generic space imagery

BrettFavresColonoscopy

WOOOOOOO

At least you know you;ll get anal! – Ballsy

I call bullshit. No one should EVER get married without having sex first.

King Hippo

Two thumbs! Depressed FOAR Monday! Happy for rain!!

yeah right

Here we are.
Just shut down the Sunday Gravy Test Kitchen for the season.

Football soon come!

That was some great hustle. Visited Genny (cheese chick) the other day and loaded up. She still didn’t have the red pepper peceronchino… that stuff must be brutally seasonal. But… Eyes open Buddy.

Brick Meathook

Is the internet out? WTF? You people need to get on the ball. Chop chop, savvy?

Mr. Ayo

It’s too damn hot. It’s almost 90º here. Unbearable.

Redshirt

What are you talking about? Its Week 3 of Preseason, so I signed in, only made a comment or two and then called it a day.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Lucky you didn’t pull a hammy

Brick Meathook

Hello?

Loser has to keep the state in parentheses in their name for the whole season

Redshirt

That or loser can’t use the word “Miami” and has to use the city they reside in, “Oxford” or “Coral Gables”.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Wait, Gabbert? Are we looking at a long-awaited sequel to The Flow?

Game Time Decision

Finally finishing the last beer from my advent calendar. Lol.
Have been drunk a few times but went with vodka soda kinda drinks as that’s what Mrs likes, so in theory should have been done awhile ago, but here we are

Brick Meathook

I like the Will Grier Theatricum Bonanzacum up in Kabonga Canyon

ballsofsteelandfury

That’s a pretty cool helmet they made up for the banner image!

It’s part of the East vs West intro
