Merry Holiday, you delightful miscreants! I just noticed that I labeled last night’s thread as a Sunday night. Was I distracted by the notion of having to socialize? Was I rushing to get it done? Was I just going thru the motions? Most certainly. I sincerely hope that all who read this have a minimally stressful day as possible under the circumstances.
To The Game!
Packers/Fins:
-Miami was looking much better three weeks ago when they possessed a sporty 8-3 record and were battling Buffalo for the division lead. But then they caught three straight losses and are now 8-6.
-Here’s some sweet news, “Even if the Packers win out they have no guarantee of getting into the playoffs“. FiveThirtyEight gives them an 11% chance to get in at present and with a win their odds increase to 28%.
-And it’s not as though they’ve turned things around from earlier in the season-you can still run on them and hell, you can pass on them as former shutdown fella Jaire Alexander is having a down (for him) year.
-Is the NFL coaching fraternity a closed circle that loves to recycle? [Brian Flores nods] Well, coaches McDaniel and LaFleur have worked as assistants together in Houston, Washington and Atlanta. But I guess it’s like any other profession in that one must network and get one’s name out there in order to succeed. And we should know by now that coaching in college is a whole n’other bucket of fish. So, yeah.
-Just Trade The Guy: Mike Gesicki, who everyone acknowledges is a talented player, has been targeted five times in the last four games. He had 73 catches last year. I think there’s some talent being left off the field by the coaching staff.
Go get ’em.
Some of us like to talk about how the NFL is scripted/rigged/fixed, but not even the NFL could orchestrate interceptions as awful as the ones Tua has thrown in this game.
The plate of empanadas grows!

3 straight series that end with a pick.
/snaps fingers
The Miami Dolphins!
Might wanna re-check that concussion protocol with Tua — some of those picks were pure brainfarts
Shades of Neil O’Donnell
Now watching the game from the United Club in National airport. First time departing from here since they moved the concourse airside, I guess that’s all the construction they were doing last year.
I love travelling xmas day, not crowded at all even with all the flights that were cancelled.
If we’re asking litre for wine recs, what pairs with venison?
Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, preferably a left bank Bordeaux for Cab or right bank Bordeaux for Merlot blend, it usually has a bit of Cab or Cab Franc in there to give it some backbone.
Something nice and dry but not an Aussie Cab as that has way too much residual sugar comparatively speaking.
This dutch place didn’t have that by the glass so Guala?
Miami shooting themselves in the dick all 4th quarter.
Tough day for #TuAnon
Ugh, these fucking Packers are going to win.
Went for a walk with the dog when Miami went up and came back just now to A.A. Ron trying to close it out. WTF LOLfins?

McDaniel seems to understand how and when to change the game flow. He might be a good’un
Seems evident that the Raiders hired the wrong McDaniel.
Nap was short lived. Back to football and booze.
Since you’re up, what would you suggest as a pairing for turkey with black mole? I’m thinking zinfandel or petit syrah?
Syrah most definitely. I am having a GSM with ours.
Zinfandel is usually very high in alcohol and sugar so you don’t want to over power the bird
Come on, Tyreek! Beat these Green Bay defensive backs like they were children who found their way onto your “naughty” list!
Alright, I’ve ignored my family long enough. I’ll be back for the night cap.
Clash of the Titans is on. I can feel myself being pulled away from this game to watch the Kraken get released.
Depends on which version.
While I honestly think the remake was better than expected, it can surpass the cheesiness of the original
’80’s version, pre CGI and cheesier than Green Bay.
Two words: Harry Fucking Hamlin.

My two oldest brothers who I’m kind of a bit distanced from are here. It’s the 4 bros on Christmas! Somewhere Ma is shedding a tear.
Start talking about politics and record it!
Watson gets incremental gains, fuckshit for Jones. Hippo APPROVED
Nap time!
Qaron turning it over here counts as another Christmas present.
TAKE THAT MAN’S PRESENTS AWAY
I don’t know what I ate yesterday/last night, but, wow. There’s lump of something black and smelly in my Christmas bowels today that is probably a biological weapon.
My mother bought this ornament in July at a thrift store and has held onto it all these months to give it to me
Mexican sandwich, nice.
Yep.
It’s also a running joke with me and my family that I love tacos.
For years the only fast food place by my job was a taco bell.
I got one of those foam taco hats. I had a tacos license plate
Don’t get me started on taco images. I don’t even need Google I got that shit on my harddrive
Merry Christmas, tacoboy!
Ooooohhh that’s another one for the collection!
Slide that right into the tacos_notaeuphamism folder!
Packers playcallers finding a lot of coal in their stockings!
Rodgers probably believes in the healing qualities of coal anyways so who knows
“Joe Rogan says it’s never been conclusively proven that mining can cause lung disease. Not only that, vaccines HAVE been proven to GIVE you low doses of diseases for your body to fight off! It’s insane!”
Blame me for this if you are a Pack fan.

He says he’s an introvert that just likes hanging out at home but really, he’s galivanting around the country and spreading his seed everywhere he goes.
Baby hippos are freaking adorable

Aaron Rodgers powered up by the joy of not having to spend time with family for Christmas

THIS GUY AARON RODGERS, I CALL HIM RON DESANTIS, BECAUSE HE’S AN ANTI-VAX ASSHOLE WHO’S DOING THINGS IN FLORIDA THAT PISS ME OFF WHILE FOX PRAISES HIM
GB secondary takes like a whole passel of The Legend of White Mac
I bet on A-A Ron hence the no td there.
I have C Watson that killed me. And fading Aaron Jones
Waddle: not a great name for a receiver, but clearly it’s not holding him back appreciably.
And he waddled away! Waddle, waddle
Bubbles cracked, a nice Blanc de blanc while preparing dinner.
If you eat a whole tourtiere in 24 hours, it in fact is too much for your internal system.
There must be a tourtiere based eating challenge somewhere
In my mid 40s with still a good metabolism plus work at not having a dad bod, but eating a rich meat pie in one day was not a good idea.
Fuck you LOLfin!
Got a sweet ice-maker that I can use in my cubby hole above the living room. My wife is a fantastic enabler, I love her so.

Mass in the morning, Jewish rehearsal in the afternoon… anyone know a Muslim gathering in need of a violinist this evening?
You have to rehearse to be Jewish? The minute you get fondled by a priest you’re a Catholic for life. Easy Peasy.
You should call Robert Saleh, maybe there is some sort of Islamic curse removal you can perform for the J-E-T-S
That sexy banner pic looks like a George Santos partyboi!
That’s not his divorced wife!
/It would be a whole lot funnier… IF IT WASN’T MY FUCKING DISTRICT
Definitely not his beautiful house or his beautiful wife. I’m asking myself: how did he get here?
I think we should all run for office in your district
Another favorite film set during the holidays is on.
(It isn’t Naked Gun)
Started the day with nice churrasco and baked beans to warm the day, Hope your Christmas started out as well
That’s the Shitsmas spirit!
