Your Early “Talk About Whatever You Want To” Pre-Pre-Superb Owl Sunday Open Thread

There’s going to be a lot of hours of annoying pre-game today.  You’ll want to murder yoself before a ball is finally kicked.  Trust me.  Today isn’t about Footedballzing.  You all already know that.  It’s about folks who haven’t watched a game all year suddenly becoming fans on the last day of the season.

It’s annoying, I get it.  But it comes down to this…..

It’s still the last game of the season.  Whether we like the match up, the game or what it is that it’s become, there it is.  Today is it.  That’s what it’s come down to.

In all honesty, this is just a placeholder of sorts for your angst and random musings.  The “Big Game” won’t get going for another 12 hours.  Hopefully, there will be moar kontent to follow this during the day.  But until then, say whatever you want to say here.

What are you cooking?

What are you drinking?

Who are you….hugging?

Heh heh.  That’s way better than this game will be methinks.

But I digress…..

It’s the last game of the season folks.  And even though most of us don’t care for the match up, we just can’t help ourselves.  You know we’ll be watching.

And also….Gamblor!

Personally, after the house juice from yesterday’s college basketball, I still have just under $700 in my Gamblor! account (thank you Auburn for not fucking me completely yesterday like everyone else did) and am looking foar betting advice.  So tell me your opinions….

Who should I bet?  What should I bet?

If I place it well, it can pay foar “extras” during my upcoming jaunt to SoCal.  Woooooo!!!!!!

Anywhooo….

Talk about whatever you want to talk about here in the early portion of the day.  But have faith…Something better than this poorly thought out post should come along soon enough.

“Better” being the keyword there.

Or maybe “Bettor”.

Meh, we’ll see.

Imma start drinking now.  Yes I’m serious.  Yes, it’s not yet 6am here.

DON’T YOU JUDGE ME!!!!!!

Is kick off at 630 or is that like introduce the teams, anthems,pre-game preformance etc?

Gratliff

There is a zero % chance this game starts before 7

litre_cola

Yep. 5 pm here. No chance before that.

Shout Out To Aunt Fran-

She immediately stepped in when she recognized that my mother was not remotely up to the task of being a part of our support network. She made herself available by babysittting our boys after daycare. She helped my oldest son with his paper route. She hosted ice cream parties for all the kids on her block. She made sure that all of her nieces and nephews were aware that she loved them. She’s gently declining in a hospital bed now. She gave everything of herself without any expectation that it might be returned back to her. Love you Fran.

/fuck everything

Good woman, good memories. All the best to you scotchy.

If not for the fact that it wouldn’t make sense out of context, this would belong on the banner.

...

Arriving three hours before kickoff and finding 250+ posts is just like me showing up an hour before opening at a great Chicago beer bar doing it’s barrel-aged beer day and finding 30 people in line in the blowing snow waiting to get in.

No, I did not wait in line for beer.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

That is actually kind of cool, not that I’d wait in line either, but I like it a lot better than lines for Black Friday DEALS or iPhucks.

King Hippo

agreed, but the number of things I would wait on line like that for is quite low indeed. Especially when there are non-line alternatives.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

The only line I’d want to wait in is the tightly packed one for a female strippers’ audition. I wait in queue enough when traveling.

...

I’d need to find the tap list but holy hell, it was a Hall of Fame lineup of beers. Just amazing stuff you’ll be hard pressed to find in one place.

makeitsnowondem

Back in Austin, the Whole Foods did a rare tap day literally on Black Friday. I don’t know if there was a line, though.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Maybe to the pisser……

Also glad it wasn’t figuratively. because that would have been weird.

Gratliff

The sports writing divas are currently pissing and moaning about the fact the NFL is making them wait outside in -15ish wind cihlls during security screenings and somehow, fewer than 0 people feel any sympathy whatsoever.

The cops will do it to the black or brown dogs anyway.

Wakezilla

As I mentioned earlier in the week, Wakezilla-ette has gotten into Sesame Street. One thing I’ve noticed about musicians who go on Sesame Street is that they usually produce arguably their best song of their career for the show. Name me a better Usher song than this. You can’t!

I’m watching to see if the dalmatian takes a paw during the anthem.

Year 6 of the Super Bowl Pre-Show continues. The laws of space-time are being warped around every possible Minnesota special interest story we can get our grubby hands on. Can not wait for Tony Dungy’s interview with the double-headed dong.

Spur

Puppy bowl is about to kickoff. they have a chicken playing the anthem.

Wakezilla

Send the chicken over to the Superb Owl because I hear Pink has the flu and sounds like shit.

That’s why you don’t have kids, folks. They give you every strain of the flu for like 6 months

I was warned that my personal days at work were no longer my own.

It’s good to break that seal at pre-school, rather than waiting for kindergarden. But it gets broke no matter what.

Well, the burn pile is a heap of smoldering ash and there’s still 4 hours till kickoff. Guess I’ll do a couple tequila shots and a pipeload, see if I can get in an hour or two nap.

Both wife, oxipug, and decilitre are napping. I just burned one and poured another cider.

Dear KSK Refugees:

Enjoy the game. Heading to the location of this awful Super Bowl party. Pray for the best and prepare for the worst. Best wishes to all.

Mariucci showing a slide show of the Harrison pick-6 to Fitz and Warner seems exceptionally cruel.

no cameras in the kittens locker room is disappointing

King Hippo

So…the demons have spoken (I was up $325 yesterday, thanks U-Dub!!) and here is my Superb Owl GAMBLOR…

$150 on P*ts -5
$225 on P*ts ML (-210, pure reverse jinx bet)
$250 on YES there will be an OPI called (+200)
$100 on James White to score first TD (+1150)
$100 on Danny Amendola to score first TD (+1200)

Will watch ZERO seconds of it, perhaps will follow RiveBrog, while my chilluns are at work.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Really hope you lose all, nothing personal.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Unless it is OPI on Gronk or Amendola……

King Hippo

I want Amendola TD, early OPI on anybody, then an absolute Iggles blitzkrieg

Naw, just an intervention……. ON TV!

GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT:

Aside from earning enough money so that my wife and kiddlings didn’t starve, I’m going with scoring 39 points in an intramural playoff basketball game.

King Hippo

Ha! Mine is similar, I called timeout and drew up the winning play in an intramural hoopsball game (our law school ragtag bunch’s only win of the season). I was player/coach, and wisely kept my minutes limited.

/no, I most certainly did NOT take the shot, we went FOAR 3 and the win. Natch. I think we also fouled with the game tied, Valvano-style. to make sure they couldn’t have last shot. Can’t recall 100%. I definitely put myself in to foul.

scotchnaut

You? You I like.

King Hippo

phrasing…you read The Last Policeman trilogy, Spirit Animal??

scotchnaut

The first book is in the mail. Tana French-Into The Woods. If it’s not one of the best 3 mysteries you’ve read in the last half-dozen years…

King Hippo

SCARY. The main character says the “You? You I like.” to himself quite a bit. It is a fantastic series. I am off to Amazon now with thine recommend.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I picked up something that an old lady dropped once….. and actually gave it back to her.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

First ever season playing (roller) hockey at age 11, down 3-0 in the second, and I bury 5 in a row to take a 5-3 win.

I was playing in the lower division because I never really played organized hockey before but I played outdoors and skated religiously (also was tall for my age and could shoot), so the team was in an age 8-11 B league. I finished second in league scoring as a defenseman.

So then our coach gets the bright idea to move us up to the 8-11 A league where we promptly lost every game but I had a pretty good season.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Sports-related: hitting anchor in a foursome best ball tournament and sticking the green on a par 3 that all my teammates had missed – while a really hot drink cart girl was watching.

Non sports-related: banging the drink cart girl.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

[full disclosure – it was a different drink cart girl. But she was actually hotter than the first one]

Wakezilla

That’s pretty measty right there. My favorite intramural playoffs basketball performance was when I drained a game winning 3 from half court with no time left during highschool. I finished with 9 points (I was more of a Ben Wallace type rebounder).

litre_cola

I went down to Fargo as a 17 year old to Braves and Reds camp. I made it til day 4 when some hick from North Platte, Nebraska (I remember) threw me a slider. I was fucked. All I saw until the end of the day was sliders. I was cut day 4. Fuck sliders. I could hit them in my 20’s but not at 17.

Senor Weaselo

Sports-wise, I’m gonna say throwing 5 shutout innings in a playoff game when I was 14. I probably could have asked to finish it, but since the manager was on duty (he was a firefighter) whoever was covering for him decided I was good for the day and I didn’t argue the point.

It was noted that if Donks sign Captain Dingleberry to play QB, then we could surely draft Bradley Chubb at #5….and then have a Chubb and a Butt on the roster. Would The Shield allow such shenanigans??

Kick off is listed at 6:30 pm EST. Probably closer to 7 hours.
