Nice job last week, Johnny. Living up to the family reputation, I see. Watch it, kid. My season may be done, but at least the Ravens have a bright future ahead - unlike your prospects of returning to an NFL gig any time soon. Look, we may have gotten our asses kicked

NFL Speakeasy Stories: Relinquish
Angel’s Share, East Village. 2:47 am, May 22nd, 2019 Door handles. Door handles jiggle when they are locked. Why do door handles jiggle when they are locked but turn smoothly otherwise? This thing isn't even supposed to be locked. These are the thoughts of a typically straight-laced professional on the tail end
Boots On The Ground – The Jeopardy! Edition
There's this guy named James Holzhauer who has recently dominated one of the most beloved shows ever to appear on America's airwaves. (To clarify, for once I am not referring to Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.) He's won over a million dollars in just a few weeks and now holds

Your “Isn’t This the Part…” Final Friday Evening Thread of 2018
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4ZlWEQ17ns Another year, gone and done. Things happened, and now those things are part of the annals of history—no, I said annals, with two Ns, not, never mind. We got a lot to do in this final Friday post, so let's get it started. I want to start off by congratulating everybody
The Saturday Afternoon World War One Centenary Post
During the course of the year, I have taken to various Open Threads to teach about pivotal or interesting moments during the course of 1918, the final year of the war. The mutual goals were to keep you interested and provide reading entertainment on evenings when the sports calendar was
Your Decidedly Unsexy But Historically Accurate Friday Evening Open Thread
O HAI! It's your old pal Beerguyrob, and I've asked Seamus if I could host tonight's Friday soiree, since I have a particular interest in the date. He was a surprisingly tough negotiator, because Fridays are near & dear to his heart. But after sweetening the offer once or twice, I was able to
Your “Oh Gawd! I Can’t Feel My Eyes!” Sunday Afternoon NFL Thread
The football. It burns! But in a good way. There's still more to come. TO THE GAMES! Saints/Ravens: For the seeming twenty-eleventh year in a row, Baltimore has thrown together a magnificent smash-your-teeth-in defense that takes no prisoners. It's the sort of unit that had very little trouble white-washing the Titans last
Your “I Didn’t Say ‘Dude!’ I Said ‘Dud'” Thursday Night NFL Football Open Thread
It was a fairly good run, wasn't it? "The Curse of Thursday Night Football" that had descended last year had lost its way for most of 2018. Well, it's back and it's taking no prisoners tonight. So shutter your windows, bar the doors and maybe explore other entertainment options. There's

NFL News: This sucks: Jim Kelly has to go for more surgery. It's a follow-up to the procedure he had to have after his oral cancer returned. The Colts have introduced half-season tickets in order to drum up more interest in seeing their team. Four regular-season and one pre-season game.
TGISF… Early Bloomers
"The purple alien with 3 toes on one foot and 4 on the other, slowly crept up the stairs of the dilapidated apartment building on the outskirts of the city of Thorg. Thorg had been a whaling town in its hey day, but now the Yellow Flupgrup Whale had been hunted
TGISF…Let The Games Begin!!!! (errrrrr…continue, I guess?)
Because I miscalculated the interest you weirdos would have in the Winter Olympics, this week's TGISF theme was originally supposed to be a "by request" theme for one of our good peeps, with only some brief mentioning of the Olympic goings on. But you guys obviously zigged when I thought
