Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week Ten

Oh, we have seen some herp. And we have seen some derp. But Week Ten was chock full of some truly special stuff.

Start with the bestest. Elvis Dumervil. I can’t even. The Jaguras, without even enough time to run a spike play, barely get the snap off, and Bortles instantly falls flat on his ass. But lo, this is not university footy, so he may get up. Not that it would do him much good, except…Doom grabs his facemask, and grabs it good. 15 yard penalty, untimed down, 53 yard FG, Jaguras win and stay alive in the shit-tastic AFC South.

What discussion of derp is complete without a Nacho sighting? AND WE GOT ONE! Vintage form, too, as he throws a crucial interception to preserve the road win for the Dolphins. The Iggles are not good at this footbaw thing. NFC East, though. Good teams need not apply.

Speaking of not good…HAI DALLAS. Finding new and interesting ways to lose every week. The kicker even had the yips today! Rapey Jameis got in on the herp, dropping the ball as he was preparing to leap into the end zone for the go-ahead TD. But not to be out-derped…defensive holding on the Pokes, let’s have a do-over. Because Lovie is Lovie, he puts the ball in the idiot manchild’s hands again, but it works out. 10-6 Bucs. Dallas is 2-7, and of course, still totes in the hunt.

Looks like we have a new entrant in the “we ain’t even pretending to give a shit no more” club, and it’s the N’Awlins Saints. 47-14 losers at Washington. No, that’s not a drunken/pilled out typo.

The Giants get an awesome moral victory and beat the spread against the P*ts! Let’s not speak about that game any further. Or the inevitability of how the playoffs will end. Denial is a perfectly good defense mechanism. So is drinking.

No moral victories to be had in Mile High, I’m afraid. If PeyPey is headed to the glue factory, it’s a pretty lousy way to end a Hall of Fame career. 5 completitions, 4 picks against a piss-ant Chefs defense at home. The entire team was garbage today, from start to finish. I honestly have no idea what has happened since that lovely SNF ass-whipping of the Packers.

Not to say that the Packers have proven to be that fucking great themselves. Pretty derpy game by the Lions – TWO missed extra points gave the Packers a chance to tie late, then when they missed the two, Megatron dropped the onside kick! But for once, lady luck shone on Detroit, as Longwell badly shanked the 52-yarder that would have won it.

Welcome to sole possession of first place, Minnesota. Yeah, sounds weird to me too. Purple Jesus picked on somebody his own size this week, and the Raiders drop a home game they really couldn’t afford to lose.

The Ben comes on early for a hurt The Landry to slaughter The Factory. Looking pretty good for a Wild Card berth for the Yinzers, likely in the favorable “against the AFC South shithead” slot.

Great day for Cam Newton and the Panthers defense in a convincing 27-10 win over the Titans. The #1 overall seed in the NFC is starting to look like a fait accompli.

The Wally Pipp-ing of Matt Forte and the resurrection of the Chicago Bears continued, as Jeremy Langford and the Bears mauled the Rams in St. Louis. This will have no bearing on whether Jason Heyward re-ups with the Cardinals, so nobody in Missouri cares.

It’s time to complete the burial of the Seattle SeaTruthers. These fuckers are D-O-N-E, and I am fine typing this with 4 minutes left in the first half and going the hell to bed.

On behalf of everyone, but especially the good people of France…PLEASE stop being such a fucking dumpster of burning monkeyshit, universe.

The Donks; what? The defense played very well considering the Chef’s time of possession and starting field position due to the horrendous offensive showing.

The rest; keep on pluggin’.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

The hit on Sanders was exactly the same as the hit on Hylton last week that was call PF “Hit on a defenseless receiver”; the differences were that Hylton lowered his head slightly before the hit and that they are watching the big bad Broncos more closely (go ahead and eye gouge all you want Pac Man).

I stick by my earlier statement of hating my parents. I walked boy dog to see girl dog and ran into my mom right as she left for a lunch meeting. She knew I was still drunkish and was dickish about it for 20 seconds til I admitted it, but she is dickish about everything.. First, why the fuck was she there. Second, I need to make a call to make it seem like I am not fucked up. Third, I did get to cuddle on the couch with both of them for an hour. Seems like an even trade off. Fourth, I left the TV on out of spite because I know she fucking hates it. Fifth, she is insanely OCD and my dog visit left dog fur everywhere on the first floor which I am not unhappy with.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Do you have anyone in your life that calls you 3 times, then calls the house you are in because a landline was free with cable and internet, then calls your roommate? That is my mom since I moved home and she keeps getting hurt doing stupid shit so she always needs me. My normal response is to help the first 600 times then tell them to fuck off. Way over my limit and don’t have the luxury of a fuck off

My favorite is she goes on a ski trip to France when she is begging people for money. Skies into a tree and breaks her hip. I had to do everything for her for months, she still took out the time to ask me why I don’t spend more time looking for a job. This one is a bike accident where she broke both hands and her knee. Still a dick to me, finally going in to get her hand fixed 6 months later. Got a scolding about how I suck yesterday while going to help her during football which is the one time I say leave me alone I won’t help you.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Oh, so the money thing. My great grandfather financed Walmart at its start, gave it all away over 100 mil to mostly animal foundations, Grandma made a shit ton on the market on her own before she had a stroke and other horrible things happen. I think she has 8 figures still. My mom pretends she isn’t from money but she still steals from her mom as grammy rots in a terrible home. I got $2000 in a fund for college from my great grandfather. That didn’t cover 1 semester of tuition

Hold up on an unemployed Rob Ryan terrorizing the seedy underbelly of New Orleans without regard for the NFL’s personal conduct policy, Sean Payton denies that Wolfman Rob has gotten the ax:

Can someone give me a ride to the gas station, took my pups on a walk to my moms, laid in bed/couch after told to get fucked off and immediate leaving with both dogs watching an hour of Law and Order: CI. I still need cigs. I used to be the best fake sober driver so I think I can fake it unless someone is close to Appleton. I faked it on mushrooms. Still kinda drunk at 2 should be nothing.

I drew this as part of a short-lived webcomic I did back in 2000-2001, and it was then used by a local ISP for their ecard offerings. They stopped offering said ecards a few years ago and it has been hard as hell to find this thing (I colored it and made the GIF on their machines, and never got a good copy out of it. Lesson learned). It’s a shit scan and low-quality GIF, but I had a lot of fun drawing the original and may have to scan that in, even though it won’t be colored or animated.

We went to the Factory gates today and the fuckers were gone. No more suits. No more dogs. No more barbed wire. No more fucking Filth.

They were gone.

We all started fucking screaming, laughing, dancing around like Hearts just won the fucking Champions League.

THEY WERE FUCKING GONE.

“It’s fucking ours now, lads!” someone shouted, and no one has ever been more right about anything.

It was fucking OURS.

We set immediately to the graft–harvesting the plants, extracting that sweetest gum, baling the product, shipping it out as soon as fucking possible. Not only was everything ours now but we were tapping into a booming fucking market the likes of which hasn’t been seen in decades. Desperate people need it, and we desperately want to sell it to them.

So if you see a fellow Browns fan who is looking even the slightest bit happy, you can tell them where to go.

I went drinking with a friend of mine yesterday who owns a deli (the only decent thing PK ever did was mention it as, quite correctly, the best place for a sandwich in my town back when the Eagles used to hold their training camp here, even if he doesn’t understand the difference between “South Side” and “Downtown”), and at the end of the drinking day we went to the deli and made ourselves some damn good italian subs.

I mention this now not to brag, but because I am eating the second half of that sub and it even better now than it was when I was drunk, if such a thing is possible.

Here’s the life of a college teacher: I was up at 5 am, googling pictures of Taylor Swift to put in a Powerpoint for discussing the Paris attacks.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I have an irrational hatred of Taylor Swift. I will never forgive you.

entropy

Wow. No part of that sentence makes sense to me.

Lothar of the Hill People

Heh.

The best way I can summarize is to say that I’m asking how governments can respond (to terrorist attacks), and/or how should they respond, when one of the main goals of terrorist attacks is to prompt a response. Thus, should governments just “shake it off” when it comes to terrorist attacks, or do they declare “bad blood” and strike back?

My students got a kick out of it when I said no matter what governments do, “terrorists gonna terror.”

Lothar of the Hill People

Holy shit, what a crappy way to end a fantastic career. I don’t see him being effective, nor healing up enough to play this year. And I don’t think he has gas in the tank to come back next year.

He’ll end up playing another game on it, aggravating it, and saying “Fuck it, let Osweiler take the team”

The alternative is to do the Jason Taylor plan–multiple needles in the foot before each game. Fuck that.

entropy

It is a terrible way to end a career, but I do hope he hangs it up soon. I didn’t like Favre as a human being, but seeing him a Jets and then a fucking Viking jersey was just sad. I’d rather that sort of thing not happen to Peyton.

Maybe everyone in the NFL needs to listen to more Neil Young.

nomonkeyfun

This is the image I have in my head whenever I think of Peyton this year.

http://media.cmgdigital.com/shared/img/photos/2013/10/14/1e/9b/yatittle.jpg

The year before he had the best season of his career. Highest rating, most TDs, one of his lowest INT rates, then it was all gone in one offseason. Getting old is a bitch, but it happens so fast, and so embarrassingly to athletes.

Bloody Lethal

Isn’t Osweiler a decent backup?

Cuntler

He was pretty bad in college.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

He fucking sucked in relief yesterday. You should hope someone repairs Manningbot this week

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

He wasn’t bad coming in Sunday and should improve with more playing time and practice, the rest of the team is pretty talented so they should at least go .500. Dude has not started a regular season NFL game, so there is no way of knowing how good he can get. Without getting a gimmick offense and and a whole preseason to prepare it takes QBs game experience to learn the position. Everybody is so eager to proclaim greatness or permanent incompetence that there is no idea of learning and patience any more, which is fucking idiotic. Steve McNair is probably the last of the QBs that was trained and groomed for the position.

He is athletic and strong for a big dork, has descent pocket awareness and escapes much better than you’d think, has a strong arm and is reasonably accurate, down side is he’s a sub 60% CR, but so is Cam. We’ll see, there will be going pains at which time Hippo will say I TOLD YOU SO, and other times when he shows flashes of good that I will become overly optimistic, both of us will be wrong. My guess is that he will gradually improve until they loose patience and send him packing to a team where he will do well.

ballsofsteelandfury

Let me get this straight, you’re gulping Siemen?
