Chefs and Ricky’s Raiders – 3pm game open thread

ArmedandHammered - November 29, 2024November 29, 2024

The image above was taken last night as we went non-traditional. My rib eye was delicious and my mac and cheese delivered as usual (side note - can Hippo eat Kraft Mac & Cheese as it does not really have any cheese). Not pictured are the rolls nor the wild

With apologies to Rikki for using two of his recurring post titles but I can't think of anything better to set up this week's drink. Let's set the scene: Wednesday, October 2nd. I'm going to check the mail, and go downstairs to the front to find a package with my name

Hey look, we got ourselves a third game on Thanksgiving! But we always have a Thursday night game during the season so not a big whoop but I do recall when it was only a doubleheader and we thought that was enough. At that point we'd wait for the prime

TGIF! Have to make this a shorty today what with not having power since Tuesday and none expected until Saturday. But that's a me problem, not a you problem, so we roll on! Survival - Personal Edition Let's flash back to college and open some beer bottles (or near-beer or not-beer, whatever)

First and foremost, I want to wish everyone a Happy Buttfumbleversary to those who celebrate. I don't know what is the best part about that whose sequence. Is it the fumble itself? Is it that it is the second touchdown in a matter of seconds after the Patriots had a 1

What have we got here? Ah, it's the old 'mirror game' (8-2 vs 2-8) and it's a divisional tilt so anything can happen. [snorts] C'mon, we know how this ends. At one point the Steelers were 3-2 and then a certain package of crushed monkey testicles from the Honduras 'magically'

That thing that everybody saw happening has now happened. The American landscape is such that bald-faced lies are not only acceptable but almost expected so of course it was called 'a football decision'. So now he goes home at night and stoically sits on his moneypile and ruminates about what's

The Jets did a Jets thing and I'm such a happy puppy. It's the little victories (in this case, losses) that count. Will a sullen and snarky Rodgers throw everyone under the bus at the post-game presser? God, I hope so. -The Lions are that good and I'm glad they've got

I've railed constantly about the lack of options in the later afternoon but I'm not angry at the offerings here. To The Games! Falcons/Broncos: All Aboard the Nix Bus! Well, me anyway-I'm streaming him today. He seems to have made some strides after a less than cromulent start and now the offense is

Not that you would ever seek them out but yes, the Giants (and the equally putrid Panthers) are on bye along with the Cards and Bucs. Things are looking up! To The Games! Ravens/Steelers: I hope you like your closely engaged smashmouth football first thing in the day. I can't see either of

Sharkbait - November 15, 2024November 15, 2024

Hello and happy Friday yet again. The theme of this week is 'simplicity'. Mainly because it was a short week and somehow time got away from me. It's a good thing that I keep a running list of recipes I come across that are easy, either in one of my

There sure were a bunch of games yesterday, weren't there? (look, I've got close to nothing) Let's check a few things out. Fallout: -Going into the bye week the Giants have the second pick in next year's draft. WOO! The only thing to be concerned about at this point is when to
