Good morning all, are you excited for today? It is a marathon not a sprint but how are you getting ready? What are you doing today? Going to a party? Participating in our open thread? Day drinking?
I have been up awhile now and have made my bets for the day;
Over the 1:44 on the anthem, Aretha going to go long to unite the nation and keep peeps mind off Kaep’s kneeling.
More than 3.5 field goals, boys can kick
over 44.5 yards longest field goal, easy.
Under 56.5, run, run, run. I am nervous about this one but then I can cheer for low scoring.
James White to have 2 touchdowns. 9-1, too good not to take a 20 dollar flyer on.
As for libations, I started with Baileys and coffee and will move on to breakfast wine, then beer, then probably bourbon and red wine. I do not work tomorrow which is of much importance.
Before the game we have Foxy Footy v Man U, then Man City v Arsenal. Those are quite good matchups to kill time before the real drinking starts. After that there is 3 Ice Footbaw games because Bettman knows to get the hell out of the way of the Shield.
What will you be cooking, drinking, doing getting ready to hopefully see the meteor hit Megatron’s butthole?
To all of those who stay on the sidelines or lurk enter your information today as the powers that be will be approving them this morning. Except you pesky Russians.

Folks
Gotta love Unai Emery
Interviewer: In the second half, did their level go up while your level went down?
Emery: Yes.
Just no fucking around with that one.
Did the interviewer spell it that way?
I just opened my bedroom window for the first time in two months. I wasn’t outside to confirm, but I think I recreated the scene where Peck shut down the Containment Grid in Ghostbusters.

This site has enlisted me to ask a few questions of the Commentariat.
How many of you have successfully committed suicide?
Three and a third times. Oh, you mean my own suicide? Then, none. Zero.
That one hangover was VERY close.
If you gonna do the crime, you gonna do the time…

Oh, great. So not only did they create an International Incident by arresting someone with Dipolatic Immunity, they put an emotionally fragile person who powers goes out of control the more emotionally unstable they get in jail?
Way to go South Carolina, you’ve killed us all!
They should’ve just let it go.
Can anyone recommend an online betting site other than bet online.ag?
Just go to the liquor store.
dot org?
After you consume your purchase, yes.
For the record, I also took tomorrow off.
Like a veteran.
Saddle up gay space cowboys wearing shorts! We’re in for another….. day.
man, I really wish Carl would do a Lock of The Century of The Week for this game….

This Just In:
Arsenal? Maybe a few bullets but no gun.
It’s gonna be a rebuilding year or six.
The great cathedrals took hundreds of years, man.
*Has nothing to do with this.
This is a first. Eldest granddaughter is not feeling well and all the brothers are working.
Looks like I’m flying solo today.
There will be drinks and smoke and most of all…
Motherfucking Frito Pie!
Come on over I’ve got plenty of food.
ONE OF US! ONE OF US!!
Granddaughter’s Frito Pie is what got Jared in prison.
On to the red wine. I have been up since 3 am. Don’t judge.
Not waiting until 11.
Nooooooooice
I’m in the same, uh, canoe. Hopefully passing out soon and then wakey, wakey for the game that I have no interest in watching.
Good ol’ American ingenuity that got us to space ahead of those gotdamn commie-nazies

One thing I like about Kevin The Broom is that no matter the circumstance, judging by his flushed face he seems to be out of shape. And then he makes a brilliant pass that Zidane would approve of.

what a 2nd by City. Cracker of a match.

Usually a light white like gewurztraminer, pinot blanc. Low alcohol, residual sweetness, fruity even.
Good morning gentlefolk. While I will be limiting my participation in today’s visual festivities, I must, of course, acknowledge today’s event. If professional football had a Super Bowl, today would be it. Please enjoy the libations as you grouse and distract yourselves from the Straight Oscars featuring Who Gives a Shit vs. Fuck, Not Them Again.
I got nothin but love, DFO/former KSK. NOW…if you don’t mind, I have to go clean the gallon of piss my son left in his bed, by which I mean my goddamn bed. I may check in later, but if I don’t, Sexcelsior!
But what about the Professional Bowl?
Always good to hear from you Mr. Porky.
holy shit, that grock in goal…
Every Friday I drop some paperwork off at a bus depot. (I know, right?). The woman that owns the business is quick-witted and we trade zingers back and forth if she’s not busy.
Just this past week she told me that her 35 year-old husband suffered a heart attack recently, had a stent put in and was scheduled to have two more done. I asked if there was a family history and she replied that his father had heart disease and had a massive attack at the age of 50 and a cousin had passed away at the age of 41 due to same.
After a few more verbal exchanges I indicated that I had to go and said, “I’m glad (husband’s name) is doing well relatively speaking, huh, huh?. To her credit she laughed.
She’s a keeper.
let me guess, gives ya good hobo leads too ,, amirite?
I used to work for a company that made those stents! It was nice being able to feel halfway decent about the end product, because it made peoples’ lives better.
slept in this morning, woke up, then smoked a bowl. watching Steve Harvey do the NFL honors thing, he is OK.
THIS ARSENAL DEFENSE I CALL IT THE LA RAMS, BECAUSE THEY ARE A DISORGANIZED MESS AND GETTING TORN APART AND IT’S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE PATRIOTS DO THE SAME THING BECAUSE THERE IS NO JUST AND RIGHTEOUS GOD AND WE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS!!!!
Jesus, Aresnal really are playing the part of the Rams. Looking really good early and not capitalizing on chances like they need to in order to not let City win in the end. It’s like I’m getting a horrible, horrible preview of the Super Bowl.
Was looking at the website for the NZ band The Clean, wherein they listed past bands influenced by their sound, as well as current bands. They then listed some current bands and ended with “and a band from China called ‘Carsick Cars'”. So I checked them out and yes indeed! They sound very much like the Clean. If you have housework to do before the Owl, you might check them out too. (Let this one run till @2:22, then WHOOSH)

The Pips don’t even get a credit for the waffles? SMH
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdN27HzoyO4
The very first time I saw this I larfed my head off. Now? I feel it was goddamn brilliant. An unintentional deconstruction of a hit song that put The Pips front and center.
It also works as a “we couldn’t afford Gladys but The Pips wanted a pay cheque” sorta thing.
I saw this when it was broadcast when I was a kid. My memory was SNL but it was The Richard Pryor Show which I think only lasted a couple of episodes. I never forgot it. I laughed hard back then but just now when I watched it I realized how perfectly executed this is.
The repeated cutaways to the mic stand are perfect.
I’ve eaten there. They shouldn’t change a thing. Other than the ownership they had to change when her son was grifting.
But the Pips should be madder than Aretha that none of them are singing the anthem tonight.
THE RARE DOUBLE-HEADER OFF THE CORNER FOR THE GOAL!!!
Arsenal winning 1-1!
fuck, that was an exceptional corner
Outstanding. You should have to call that for it to count.
Betis up 1-nil on Atleti
Now you’re just making up names.
es posible!
Think the line gets bet all the way back down to NE -1.5 this afternoon?
Also, what’s the odds on Burkhead scoring 2 TDs? I’d put a tenner on that.
Well, that’s probably not the start Arsenal were looking for.
y’all need to throw this ‘un. FOAR the Greater Good!
Oh I don’t think they need to throw it; Arsenal are quite likely to get blown out on their own merits.
hee hee, if Everton stay within 4 mid-week, I will be astonished
“The Super Bowl? Please… I’ll be attending an “Anti-Tangential Occurrence” by this band you’ve not heard of, @Righteous Banana!. Then there’s a later meetup at the Bridge That Goes Nowhere Cafe where we’ll be doing shots of tiny shreds of Mikhail Bakhtin’s The Dialogic Imagination mixed with absinthe. I pity you in a way that is not condescending.”
-A Bearded Guy
Got another book for you, TC Boyle’s ‘The Harder They Come’, which is not, in fact, a porno. Forgot I had it, mostly because my brother just returned it to me after stealing it. But very good read.
[doesn’t google] Bob Marley bio? I think there’s a doc out there by that name. Or maybe an album? Not sure.
Well, drugs do figure heavily in it, so, sure?
Greetings from Los Angeles, home of SuperStorm’19™! Now in its third glamorous day!
Sure, rain is a lot better than sub-zero temps, but I don’t own a coat! It’s all relative!
I still think of the Rams as being in St. Louis. Weird!
Bundesliga announcer saying that the white snow is helping the “all whites”, as if there wasn’t already enough of that in German history.
could be worse, didn’t reference the early 1940s ash storms at least
Yet
I mean, the snow didn’t exactly help the Germans last time in Stalingrad smh
I lorfed.
I’ll be doing a bunch of laundry, working out, cleaning the bathrooms, and that’s about it. Oh, and helping coordinate a community response to our shithead builder whose shitty roofs are now starting to fail.

You sir get a Black Star.
Ooh, we’ve got a nasty head injury in the Bundesliga.
betting that is the next sport to have a rash of “concussion awareness” issues. You follow a side for any length of time, you’ll see some nasty shit.
Lukaku scored an Everton winner that he couldn’t even remember, and earlier this season it looked for a few seconds like Michael Keane could be dead on the pitch.
Put em all in Cech helmets.

Who’s playing tonight? I usually stop paying attention after the Pro Bowl.
Birmingham Barracudas v the Barcelona Dragons. The league got weird after Pete Rozelle left.
ROZELLE LEFT!?!?
Oh man, the NFL’s never gonna recover from that!

Pre-game chores? Here’s one for me-

Since I’m still forbidden alcohol and most foods post-surgery, I’ll be sitting and watching at the house with my doggies. I was invited to a couple of watching parties, but prefer to avoid temptation and just stay at the house with my pipe. Also, don’t have to put up with a bunch of people making a racket and distracting from the action on the field.
“I’m just here for the commercials, I’m not even watching the game.”
“Tell me more” I say, as I struggle to pull the crossbow back into the ‘load’ position; “tell me more.”
How much longer until halftime?
/grrrrr
Is there anywhere I can parlay “James WHite 2 touchdowns” with “Cut after the game and never plays another snap in the league”?
I like how you repeated your bets verbatim. Yay Baileys!
I had to edit it when I caught it Brick. Didn’t think anyone would notice!
