JV NFL – Special Shame Friday Edition

Good hangover and fat shame morning, Commentist Party members!  The footy gods are kind today, at least.

/also LMFAO at Colt McCoy

Texas at Kansas (Noon, FS1)

All the Steerfuckers have to do is beat Waiting-on-Les-Miles to make the conference title match.  Can they possibly fuck this up?

Houston at Memphis (Noon, ABC)

In case you missed all the scoring from MNF, and can look past the lack of quality.

Arkansas at Missouri (2:30, CBS)

Pig Sooey are 23.5-point dogs, but they ALWAYS play well on Thanksgiving Friday.  I am smelling upset!

Virginia at Virginia Tech (3:30, ABC)

The Seminoles’ fall from grace has camouflaged the fact that VPI has fallen every bit as far, and as rapidly.  4-6 entering today.

Oregon at Oregon State (4:00, FS1)

Civil War, bitches!  I love rivalry matches with clever names.  The Quackers might be a little hard on the Beaver this year, though.

UCF at South Florida (4:15, ESPN)

Only the Bulls stand between us and more hand-wringing about the Hitler Mice only being able to beat the schedule that’s in front of em, yada yada.

Oklahoma at West By God Virginia (8:00, ESPN)

We really might have lost Sen. Manchin if not for all the various conservative coaches cutting that ad for him.  As such, much good karma to Fuckers du Cousins.  Nobody will even pretend at defensing.

Washington at Washington State (8:30, Fox)

Finally, the main event!  Oh, how I want to see Pirate Mike Leach take Wazzu to the PAC championship.  So, a moneyline bet on the boring-ass Huskies to win the Apple Cup is the only sensible play.

So, I just spent a few hours with this guy I work with and have known for over 10 years as a contractor, also happens to live about 4 miles up the road, and also ex Navy (12 year sonar tech CPO, then a nuclear physics degree, followed by 12 years SWO/ship driver, retired as O-5 LCDR). A real fucking poindexter, makes his own wine, tequila, and whiskey, all of them exemplary, and knows how to fix all kinds of shit. I’m going to go live on his property after the Trump-induced post-apocalyptic hellscape becomes a reality. Dude just put in a huge solar array, solar powered water well, he’s practically living off the grid already. Should at least extend my lifespan by a few months… Did I mention he made good booze?

Canada won the repechage playoff & qualified for the Rugby World Cup in 2019.

Their reward: Pool B at next year’s World Cup alongside top-ranked New Zealand, No. 5 South Africa, No. 14 Italy and No. 23 Namibia.

Senor Weaselo

So you’re saying there’s a chance?

Wakezilla

It’s a damn shame they cut rugby funding in Canada. 6 years ago, if Canada were to get this group, they’d be praising Xenu because 3rd place and an automatic World Cup birth in the next World Cup would seem very attainable.

Interesting that Repechage is also a skin care product line.

So I went to four hardware stores looking for a dirty water sump pump with a float and at least a 15 foot cord (my backyard is low and all water from the neighbors drains to my backyard) and all I found was indoor clean water sump pumps with 8 to 10 foot cords. I didn’t know devices could be downgraded to Theoretical or Hypothetical.

So apparently something fucked up and the Tiger-Phil no-one-cares-a-thon is streaming free.

That makes it a 1% chance I’ll watch.

I believe it’s been re-marketed as the “We Got Paid Already-Care For A Bit Of Empty Nostalgia?”

I’d rather watch a sex tape involving Donald Trump and his dominate hand.

“Phil Versus Tiger: I Ran Out Of Money For Elin” would be a more accurate title.

Still too expensive for me.

How generous and giving is this commenting community? No one threw me under the bus after I did same to Amari Cooper and he proceeded to go off. Thanks for recognizing that I’m just trying to maybe bring a smile to your faces in the intros by being a sarcastic/cynical fool almost all the time.

I’m just biding my time waiting for Cowboys fans to confront the sticker shock after they see what kind of contract he’ll demand.

He’ll be less happy when it’s clarified that it was the 1890’s.

Shrug. Makes about as much sense as us getting excited about stuff the Raiders and Cowboys did before we were born.

Watching some of Ken Burns’s baseball documentary and there’s not much that pisses me off more than the brutal racism that kept blacks out of the game until Robinson. What a fucking waste, and by that I mean a waste of lost talent from the black players and all the oxygen wasted on the fucktards that kept them from playing.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Racism will always be a refuge for people (and this goes for people like myself who try their best to resist it) who are confronted with a situation where someone with different color skin is better at something they want to be good at than they are.

scotchnaut

When I can pay for a ride on a time machine I’d like to go back and see Paige pitch against Ruth and others during the barn-storing tours that were done in the off-season. And I’m not that big a baseball fan. Maybe on the third or fourth trip I’d take care of Hitler.

I lasted 30 seconds on that game. Her “sports” voice is grating, like it’s a parody. Does that mean I’m sexist? No, it means that I have ears.

I think the best vacation we had with the kidlings was taking them to the Atlantis water park. Everybody was happy and I discovered a treadmill with a tv screen attached. I lost 5 pounds in ten days.

There’s almost too much sports on.

Wait, isn’t he describing something positive? Are you suggesting that in addition he won a third thumb?

Kansas takes it away, then gives it right back after not putting up much of a fight. I haven’t seen a Kansan side do that since 1866

Instituting a “No Alcohol on the Premises” policy in a blue collar town of 1,100 people went over about as well as you’d think.

My wife is begging me to take her out into the maws of Black Friday shopping (Target and Costco). What do I do?

Get high to make it tolerable.

Tell her ok, as long as she brews beer with you then services you, then don’t go anyway.

Go for it. I’ve been out there. It’s not bad at all.

I would follow this advice, but won’t this set a bad precedent for the next time when it’s NOT fine?

I put guacamole on my sandwich and now my wife is trying to have me condemned as a heretic.

I regret nothing.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I want my sandwich and/or wife back.

Horatio Cornblower

Both wives went to Kohl’s. I’ll tell them the deal is off when they get back.

blaxabbath

Anyone land any good deal today? Wife and I bought a mattress. Guess that was fine. But I don’t even know what I’m getting anyone this year so I don’t even know what to look for.

Horatio Cornblower

Bought two pairs of sweatpants at 30% off, so that’s pretty much the same thing.

Also spent some poker winnings at the bookstore. Got Beschloss’s Presidents of War and a book about Siberian exiles during the time of the Tsars called “The House of the Dead”. which has been on my list for a while, and is now on the enormous pile of “to-be read” books that is threatening to topple over and take out the chimney.

I was THIS CLOSE to getting a Kitchenaid 5 Pro stand mixer for $220, but then I pulled out. Might end up getting a Trager grill instead.

Well, if you pulled out it’ll probably show up in nine months anyway.

Trager may or may not be your best grill option.

So I just went to Total Wine for the very first time. HOLY SHIT! They have pretty much anything alcoholic you can think of…

That place is incredible. The one in Redondo is practically a mall by itself. I found a bottle of Pappy there, 16 year old.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Two months in LA and LeBron is already opening up a storefront…smh

blaxabbath

I’ve always been sorely disappointed by mine. More in terms of the service — when they had neither the beer nor the rum I was looking for, each time it was just like, “nope, ain’t got it.” Without any help getting it or something similar/adequate as a substitute.

SonOfSpam

That’s too bad – the one nearby us has excellent (and even knowledgeable) service. I guess what I’m saying is, Arizona sounds awful.

ballsofsteelandfury

Yeah, I had 6 different people ask me if I needed help and one guy offered me a free sample of a beer cocktail (which I accepted) and didn’t hesitate when I asked to sample the beer by itself. I will definitely be back.

The one on Bell Rd in the North with the old people is fantastic. I found the Goodyear one lacking.

I like it magnitudes more than BevMo, which is stupid since they should be equal.

I hope everyone’s Thanksgiving was good. The smoked turkey turned out great, the sides were perfect, and the dessert was great, or the fact that I had consumed a complete growler of beer from the brewery my son works out (and he did not tell me was 8% ABV till the growler was gone) made everything taste better.

Horatio Cornblower

Horatio’s post-Thanksgiving weigh-in came in at a surprising 218, well under Hippo’s O/U line of 219.5.

Not gonna lie, I could have done better, but the I think the beer held me back.

Football at noon today in this house, however.

For the record, dinner was absolutley flawless yesterday. Everything was top fucking notch.

My understanding is you can buy online and pick up at the store. That saves hassle.
