Your “Quick Turnaround” SNF Open Thread

We’re almost there, another Sunday in the books.  I hate this as much as you guys do, but the shitty week’s finish line is in sight.

But first we gotta get past this one tonight.

No, those aren’t my words.  That’s what I would expect to be overheard in the Gigantes’ locker room right about now.  Probably the front office, as well.

But take heart Giants, there’s always a chance to turn it around.

But probably not this week.  Sorry guys.

NYG @ Denver – 8:30pm – NBC

Injuries and record don’t affect Giants’ confidence (Giants.com)

Well, it should.

Already behind the 8 ball with an 0-5 start, the Giants’ injuries on both sides of the ball have piled up.  Among others, WRs OBJ, Dwayne Harris, Brandon Marshall and Sterling Shepard….all out.  And the bodies they replace them with will be facing the Donks’ top ranked defensive unit.  Sad Eli is sad.

They’ve also got plenty of wounded out on the defensive side of the ball.  As well as as the suspension of CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (hide the furniture!!!!).

So I’m happy for the Giants that they are still able to at least lie about being so confident.  That’s commitment.

The Donks’ Trevor Siemian hasn’t exactly been tearing it up thru the air so far (though he’s had his moments), but that could change tonight against the Gigantes’ patchwork depth chart.  And even if it doesn’t, the Donks still should be able to run the ball, control the clock, and win this one without too much sweat.

But I think Siemian will use this opportunity as a springboard, at least for this week.

The Line : Donks -13.0, o/u 38

Take the Donks, give the points.

But don’t go anywhere near that o/u.  Not this week.

Here’s your scores from earlier today if you missed them.

Pssssst….There’s Also Baseball Tonight

  • Game Two | CHC @ LAD – 7:30pmEDT – TV: TBS (Dodgers 1-0 )

 

OK guys….here’s the playcall…

Drink on three….ready…..BREAK!!!!!

IT’S BROCKING TIME!

Glasses on folks, we are moments away from achieving Full-Eli!

How the fuck did the Cowboys lose to this team?

RUN MONKEYBOY RUN!!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

That’s a pretty good Howard Cosell impression.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Oh, wait. Were you doing Rush Limbaugh?

WCS

#GEOSTORM is just Mans: The Hands of Fate with an eleventy gillion dollar budget.

Senor Weaselo

So which ones of us are going to riff it?

Spur

Wait, that’s not a SciFi channel movie?

Romonobyl

Soon my friend.

IronAvenger6491

I wish they would just tie it in to GI Joe. That shit is just the Weather Dominator.

King Hippo

Thinking about losing to the 0-5 Gigantes:

Who’s going to help Rodgers put his dick in the Glory hole? His sling is going get in the way.

Shogun Marcus

Zekes got free time.

ThePirateSloth

The Ms Sloth is outta town, and I’ve been working for 9 days straight, but now it’s time to treat myself: 3 cheese pork pinwheels, topped with apple mostarda (with black truffle mustard), served over white wine risotto.

Imma be a happy pirate during the second half.

Romonobyl

Fucking Danger Zone?

King Hippo

I like #84, he’s absurd but harmless

WCS

McKenzie just ran 75 yards for a net of two. SMRT!

King Hippo

/you have no idea how awful his predecessor was

technodanvan

That had to be more than 75 yards.

King Hippo

Wasn’t the whole game supposed to look like this?

Spur

Why the fuck do the Giants love draws so much?

Romonobyl

It’s the only thing Eli ever got an “A” in.

Unsurprised

They can’t read?

IronAvenger6491

That’s a great way of starting this drive.

herodotus450

Bruins waived their backup (third?) goalie last week. He was picked up by Vegas, is starting in a game against Boston, and is shutting them out with 2 minuets left. In conclusion, fuck Boston.
/Also the goalie, Subban, is a Dahkie no ofence no homo.

Horatio Cornblower

Subban? PK’s brother? Oh that is fantastic.

herodotus450

Yep, he was their touted goalie of the future until about two weeks ago, it seems.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Is that the first time he took off his mask in front of a home Boston crowd?

King Hippo

Bruins fans react reasonably

IronAvenger6491

The hell did Vegas do with the two other Goalies they got in the draft from the Av’s and the Islanders?

litre_cola

Pickard was put on waivers.

herodotus450

I had the same thought, trying to figure it out now. They drafted 3 I thought, and none of them are currently around?

Yeah, Pickard, Fluery, and Berube. Their current goalies are SUbban and Maxime Lagace (NOT Manny Legace)

Spur

NBA season starts next this week. With my team not looking so hot get ready for some threadjacking. The NBA is slowing replacing my Sports attention. The League isn’t that evil and the players are somewhat likable. It’s like the NBA wants the games to be fun.

IronAvenger6491

How about them……Dallas Stars?

blaxabbath

Just. So. Many. Games. And. So. Few. Potential. Champions.

Spur

True they could shorten the season by 10-15 games.

King Hippo

uh….what?

blaxabbath

Alright, the Mrs is coming home later and I’ve spent the entire weekend sitting around with my dogs (though I did coat the trim on my Jeep today so that was a thing — we’ll see how it holds up, I only gave em about three coats) so I should clean or whatever.

Also, I think Mike Evans is overrated — at least if he’s gonna stay with TB.

IronAvenger6491

please don’t let Charles score it..

herodotus450

This game isn’t surprising if you remember that the Broncos QB is Trevor Siemian.

Horatio Cornblower

The dog is glaring at me. Time to take him for a walk. If you happen to see any stories about “CT man lost in woods near reservoir” you should take that as the cue for someone else to write about the Cowboys and their fucking bye week.

Romonobyl

Well, they didn’t lose at least.

Unsurprised

I volunteer. It’ll be 10,000 words consisting of “FUCK JERRY AND THE COWBOYS” over and over again.

blaxabbath

Hillary killed him.

Holy shit — what if Hillary shot and killed someone in self-defense while out hiking?!

Spur

If Eli wins he’s going to Casa Bonita.

Romonobyl

He loves him some Casa Bonita.

Unsurprised

Pull up a seat, buddy!

WCS

Al knows that CU is in Boulder, not Denver, right? Or, is he just wasted. Again.

King Hippo

if he stops being wasted, he’ll prolly die

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

All right, I’m about to head downstairs. I fully expect to get yelled at by my wife for being too drunk.

WCS

There’s another option: keep drinking.

Horatio Cornblower

Or head upstairs.

King Hippo

try the dong show option!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

[cues up ELO’s “It’s a Living Thing”]

Spur

I have to be up at 4am and I’m still drinking!
Dilly Dilly

Unsurprised

You can’t wake up hungover or drunk if you never go to sleep.

Romonobyl

I actually went from drunk to hung over without sleeping. Do not recommend.

King Hippo

I prefer afternoon drinking and this happens to me TOO MUCH. It’s awful.

IronAvenger6491

To the pit of misery!

IronAvenger6491

RIP Grape-Kun. May you find your Penguin waifu in weeb heaven.

ThePirateSloth

Great throw Eli, hurt MORE of your receivers

litre_cola

Evening commentists. Just tuned in. Is Tebow back?

JustStopDude

Warming up on his knees.

litre_cola

Like a good catholic

Unsurprised

If he was Catholic I’d have to kill someone.

Horatio Cornblower

Hey everybody, Unsurprised is Ian Paisley’s reanimated corpse!

Unsurprised

Speaking of “what is dead may never die” …

Unsurprised

Practicing his wrist action (for circumcisions and jerking off Republican blowhards).

IronAvenger6491

I need either the Giants to run up the score (lol) or CJ Anderson finding his groove.

scotchnaut

Giants always level the playing field with unimaginative play-calling.

King Hippo

/raises hand wearily

IronAvenger6491

I imagine the Browns are Pennywise and the Giants are Georgie, warning them about how they’ll float too.

Only McAdoo’s play calling is way more scarier than any clown/alien/demon

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

You’re giving Eli nightmares.

WCS

Elisha has fallen for this trick two dozen times.

JustStopDude

I am so fucking glad I do not gamble anymore or even play fantasy football because this fucking year would have driven me into a bottle by now.

Other than the Browns consistantly train wrecking, I have no idea which teams in the league are good and which are terrible.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

None are good and none are terrible. The Patriots are the favorite son and the Steelers are the second-favorite son. Everything else shakes out accordingly.

JustStopDude

The Browns ARE TERRIBLE….

I am fairly certain that one of us could make the practice squad for the Cleveland Browns. God knows we collectively get drunk and could draft better than the Browns.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I actually might publish a serious HOT TAKE post next week naming Hue Jackson the worst head coach in NFL history.

Romonobyl

A shame more people don’t have the same attitude towards Facebook and Twitter.

Unsurprised

I fucking hate needing FB to keep in touch with everyone I know.

Horatio Cornblower

Ok, I’ve been drinking. And posing for pictures wearing nothing but a tie and boxers while 20′ in the air. And drinking. And playing horseshoes very well for a white guy from above the Mason-Dixon line. And drinking. But despite all that weirdness I have to ask: what in the blue fuck are the Giants doing leading the Broncos 10-0!?

Unsurprised

Building up to a heartbreaking second-half collapse.

WCS

Better question: Why were you on a trampoline in boxers and tie?

Unsurprised

Yeah, what’s with the boxers?

Horatio Cornblower

It was a bucket-loader. I was in the bucket. And you clearly weren’t here earlier when I explained that a friend of ours is turning 50 next week and, for her present, the women, including my wife, got all the guys together for what is undoubtedly the most horrific calendar this side of Eli Roth’s imagination.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

When you said “bucket loader” I thought you were talking about Najeh Davenport.

Gratliff

Unsurprised

Phil Margera didn’t die, he simply moved to Vegas to be a gigolo.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I already told you, cause I picked the Broncos in my survivor pool and no longer particularly want them to lose.

Horatio Cornblower

Touche’

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

You just know they are calling New York trying to figure out how to rule this properly to maximize the benefit to the Patriots.

IronAvenger6491

Goddammit, i need CJ Anderson to do better.

Romonobyl

The Dame made a giant pot roast with carrots, potatoes and onions.
I married well.

blaxabbath

What? Not gigantic?

Unsurprised

A Giants pot roast meal has one worthless burnt end and disappoints you with its failings at every component of the meal.

Gratliff

I married a woman who burns canned soup. I had to learn to make the things I like. Very sad.

IronAvenger6491

As a Giants Fan and playing against a guy with the Denver D, i like that TD very much.

blaxabbath

Giants fan is an interesting thing to be.

Romonobyl

Worthy of a government financed study.

IronAvenger6491

What is dead, may never die. Friend.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

So of course I picked Denver in my survivor pool. And now that I no longer want them to lose because I don’t really care anymore (with the Raiders season in the shitter) they will of course play like garbage and lose at home to an 0-5 team.

King Hippo

welcome to The Darkest Timeline, the world really does just continually keep getting worse and worse

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

In all honesty all I need in order to die happy is for us to discover that intelligent life exists elsewhere.

blaxabbath

Not in this lifetime, bub.

IronAvenger6491

Eli…..do good?

Romonobyl

Chocolate Yoo-Hoo for everyone!!!!

WCS

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Yoo-Hoo is only for winners, champ.

King Hippo

grumble grumble grumble

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Yes, yes, we’ve all seen your Bill Belichick.

Horatio Cornblower

Listen if Hippo’s gonna go full Belichick he’s going to have to fuck Betty White, and no one wants to see that.

Especially Betty,

blaxabbath

From the Amazon Q&A of Romonobyl’s bug zapper:

Question: ultraviolet light is very bad for the eyes. how does this device handle the eye safety issue?
Answer: Rotate your head so that your eyes are pointed in the other direction.

Romonobyl

Yeah, those responses get pretty hilarious.
