Your “You Know, For Your First Time, That Wasn’t Half Bad” Monday Night Football Open Thread

As The Hippo-ster mentioned earlier, that was a mighty fine Sunday of the footballing…

Fallout-

-The phenomenal play of the Panthers Kyle Allen has provided some haters of people that have unique fashion sense a bit of cover. They’ve got at least another week to explain why a guy that wears a different hat each week to a press conference should be jettisoned.

-Daniel Jones totaled 37.2 fantasy points yesterday-that’s the second-highest total ever for a dude making his first career start. He’s only behind Eric Hipple’s 42.7. Pump those brakes, scotchy, pump those brakes Still, he was pressured on 48% of all his throws and completed 80% of them.

-Yeah, Saquon is gone for 4-8 weeks with a high ankle sprain. I’m sure he’ll be back sooner rather than later because he’s almost not human. For now Giants fans are jumping on the Wayne Gallman Express.

-The most dynamic qb out there isn’t Kyler or Lamar!, it’s none other than Josh Allen. He’s a gotdamn whirlwind out there and his dizzying array of talent and wonky decision-making is a joy to watch. I didn’t have a clue that Bills Stadium could be that loud. The Pats D should bring him back down to earth next week but it sure looks like there’s some ‘there’ there.

-The Eagles blew a winnable game vs. the Lions while being understaffed at wr. Now they have to travel to Green Bay for the Thursday Nighter-1-3 is a distinct possibility.

-Jalen Ramsey called in sick today. Asked for comment coach Rivera said, “he’s already been disciplined for pulling Suzie’s pigtails at recess last Friday. I don’t know what to do!”

TO THE GAME!

Bears/Potato Skins:

Is it just me that thinks these stodgy old franchises should be in the same division? Anywhozizt… the Bears 0 has scored all of 26 points so far this year and the reason why wears #10. According to PFF his poor play is right down there with likes of Harvard Fitzpatrick and Case Keenum. Chicago should take this because of their excellent D and the fact that Washington’s D-line can’t exert any pressure at all. Any time an opposing qb drops back to pass the average completion is slightly more than 8 yards. Oof.

Open the floodgates!

I didn’t watch most of that but am happy with the outcome.

Recovery Whiskey

Justice ending for the redacteds. Suck it Snyder

Viva La Tabula Raza

Even though you failed, you tried. But don’t forget, you failed.

Fronkenshteen

Ha! Trump had Mulvaney cut military aid to Ukraine a week before that phone call.

Viva La Tabula Raza

It’s like Mel Brooks as THE GUV in Blazing Saddles, except he’s the president instead of the governor.

SonOfSpam

And he’s in no way amusing.

Recovery Whiskey

Like any mob boss would

King Hippo

I wonder how many folk have had carnal relations with Fatty Gruden, and had that serve as their rock bottom.

Duchess

Dc is a meltong pot of mediocrity filled with thirsty 6’s &7’s thinking tbey are 10’s and 11’s

King Hippo

kicking here is stupid, no way back into the game unless you can do something like block a kick

Recovery Whiskey

But assures a cover. Grateful for that.

SEE??

Recovery Whiskey

GrudenFace

King Hippo

If I just hold this pose, maybe my double chin won’t show.

/it showed

Mr. Ayo

BAN EST!. How do you neanderthals put up with games ending after 11pm?

Can’t wait to get back to the correct coast.

Recovery Whiskey

They pump themselves full of Dunkin coffee and are surly bastards at work tuesdays.

Sharkbait

Fact

Duchess

ZzzQuil, melatonin, advil pm to sleep at night, coffee or coke or “coke” to stay awake during the day

Sharkbait

A lot of alcohol.

King Hippo

coffee and naps

Duchess

People on the east coast are not happy people… no one wants to be here were all over worked, under paid cant sleep and want things done yesterday

Mr. Ayo

For the first time, I can see why you assholes don’t want good close games in “primetime”. That would be terrible.

Duchess

I do the population thins out the next day

Viva La Tabula Raza

The last Erhard Seminars Training session occurred in 1984.

Mr. Ayo

Weird, that’s how I live my life.

Recovery Whiskey

Bears offense has left at least 10 points on the table in the 2nd half

Recovery Whiskey

“Created by Apple, not a bank.” **

** card issued by Goldman-Sachs

Unsurprised

Goldman Sachs is a holding company for trillions of government dollars that does some banking.

King Hippo

WOMP WOMP

Dolph Ucker

That’s all folks.

Recovery Whiskey

Hahaha

Viva La Tabula Raza

There’s no way that Case Keenum can engineer a comeback of such grand proportions. Of course, I never thought Trump would win the presidential election either.

Edit: SUDDEN CHANGE END OF COMEBACK POSSIBILITIES

King Hippo

apparently the Rooskies don’t favour Mr. Keenum

Viva La Tabula Raza

He certainly got his hair mussed tonight.

The Prevent Me From Winning defense

Recovery Whiskey

Mr. Irrelevant FTW

Duchess

4th quarter time for the Bearistocrats to truly shine!

Recovery Whiskey

Pretty sure “Trubisky” means “overthrow” in Slovenian

Viva La Tabula Raza

Absolutely!
—Melania Trubisky Trump

Duchess

Sure some people like to throw where the recievers is or will be but it takes gteat skill to throw to where the reciever will never be.

Brick Meathook

Here’s the different bar in St. John’s Newfoundland that has MNF and a Blue Jays game and I ordered a crispy Stella. It’s 12:18 AM here right now.

Col. Duke LaCross

Stella Artois, Belgian for Coors Extra Gold!

Brick Meathook

It’s all I could think of ordering. I’ll take nominations for the next round.

Opium

Mr. Ayo

These half hour time zones are a mind fuck.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Guy on the right looks like my libertarian hipster gun nut IT guy cousin. But he’s in New Hampshire, so it can’t be him.

Brick Meathook

He says that he’s none of the above. He manages a bar.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Manages a bar, is drinking in a bar. He must be the happiest man on the planet, obviously made the right life decisions.

Dolph Ucker

What bar? I lived in St. John’s for 6 years. Best people on Earth.

Brick Meathook

Kelly’s Pub on George Street

Recovery Whiskey

Theres still time to blow this. Dont crown their asses just yet

Sharkbait

BLEERGH willing they will

Col. Duke LaCross

They’ve looked shitty the entire half.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I truly hope that whoever came up with the large whiskey ice cube trays is being considered for a Nobel Prize, or at least induction into the Booze Hall of Fame. Fooking brilliant.
comment image

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I have that, plus another one that does round ones. I like the round ones better because they melt more evenly.

Viva La Tabula Raza

When I am drinking the whiskey, the ice never actually has enough time to melt before the whiskey disappears, so I went with the low-effort cubes rather than the trickier spheres.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It’s a little distressing to me how much I adore having the house to myself. This wears off after a single evening, of course, but at the time being it’s heaven.

Dunstan

Hasn’t worn off after 20 years for me…

Brick Meathook

Here’s the bar in St. John’s Newfoundland that doesn’t have MNF but does have Bluff City Law:

Mr. Ayo

More importantly, what are you having?

Sharkbait

This. I’ll attempt to re-create if possible.

Recovery Whiskey

Atlantic time is underrated

SonOfSpam

That’s fucking tremendous.

Viva La Tabula Raza

It’s too dark to make out there in the photo, but I guess the shelves are stocked with Canadian whiskey?

King Hippo

That’s Our Bollo!

Mr. Ayo

Careful, Brocky might screenshot this.

Brocky

Shhhhh

Unsurprised

Unsurprised

Imma head out

Sharkbait

Pinero cut?

entropy

Traded to the Redacteds mid-game, Dykstra-style

Col. Duke LaCross

How’s the slot?

King Hippo

dunno, somebody ask Tebow to check

Sharkbait

Fuck that guy

King Hippo

oh, after he checks to see if he’s clean according to Jewish law, I’m sure he’d be glad to

Recovery Whiskey

The Bears should just quit using FG kickers

Gratliff

That’s Super Bowl LII-winning QB Trey Burton

Viva La Tabula Raza

The Kase Keenum Kumback Kronicle is soooooo heartwarming.

Recovery Whiskey

This joke is old but Haha Clinton Dix sounds like something Monica Lewinsky would have said.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Or Ken Starr. Or Newt Gingrich.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Or Blackout Brett Kavanaugh.

Fronkenshteen

LET THE DWAYNE HASKINS ERA COMMENCE!!!

Sharkbait

I say this all the time, HaHa Clinton Dix is never not funny
