JR Football Alert! Your Thursday Night Open Thread

scotchnaut - August 28, 2025August 28, 2025

By the by, this is your last NFL-less Thursday night until January the 8th. It may seem like a long time but it'll probably go by quite fast. Credit what's left of money hungry NCAA/the nascent sports monolith ESPN/the money hungry Mountain West Conference and the money hungry American Conference

Slouching Towards Passaic: A Giants Preview (with bonus game thread that will illustrate many points!)

scotchnaut - August 21, 2025August 21, 2025

Before I get into the meat of the preview I would like to say that anything positive typed below should be offset by the fact that the schedule begins with Commies, Cowboys, Chiefs, Chargers, Saints, Eagles, Broncos and Eagles again. General Outlook: I'm just so glad that Saquon and Dimes have been

A Disappointing Thursday Night Open Thread

scotchnaut - August 14, 2025August 14, 2025

Disappointing? Why? Well, today was one of those days when one has their own list of things to do, plus some of the responsibilities of another fella that is off and is also being pulled left and right with other issues that come up over the course of doing business.

Karen Carpenter Visits Shannon Sharpe: An Open Thread

scotchnaut - August 12, 2025

Looks like there's nothing going on as far as a night thingy so here I am thrusting something out there. Shannon Sharpe, on the cusp of something really big, gets his ass fired. I've no idea how this will eventually shake out but we should all learn something from this.* *stealing an

It's a bit disorienting going from 0 to 60 but that's what's going on this weekend and we start with three organized scuffles tonight. For the most part it'll be, "Spot the Starter Before He Disappears!" but that's better than the void that we (I) experienced during the summer. Let's

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

A Tool Meets His End-Your Thursday Night Open Thread

scotchnaut - July 24, 2025July 24, 2025

I'll get to Hogan/Bollea in a bit but this here is a football blog and and there's some obligatory-ness that must be attended to. Notes: The Hiring Cycle is a Snake Eating its Tail: Nathaniel Hackett, he of the egregious coaching tenure in Denver and then the OC of the Jets for two

This Just In-Swedish Women Are Still Good-Looking! A Thursday Open Thread

scotchnaut - July 17, 2025

Even though they lost. I do giggle at their tendency to adjust their ponytails automatically after celebrating a goal. I don't have that much to say today because work is so busy I can't take an hour or more of time to jot down notes for my consistently middling post! As I suspected,

Nunsploitation Thursday-Catch The Excitement!

scotchnaut - July 10, 2025July 10, 2025

Why yes, I've just begun 1975's Images In a Convent! I'm beginning my (director) Joe D'Amato phase, as one does when going down these sploitation holes. It would appear that the genre consists of either a high falutin' society lass forced to enter a convent and she eventually learns of

I had to leave work early today because I legit thought I was going to fall asleep at my desk. This has been happening occasionally and here we are again. I've seen specialists of many ilks and all have given me a clean bill of health. Now as mentioned, I
