Your “Every Day Brings A Different Milestone” Wednesday Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

  • JERRAH doubled down on Wednesday, during an interview on NFL Network, ostensibly to promote the annual Red Kettle Campaign. 
    • The money quote, which will be everywhere, was, “How about let’s win some ballgames”.
      • Further adding, “I think all of us, including the fans, want to win a damn football game. OK?”
        • “I want Jason to get it done,” Jones said.
    • If they lose to 8-3 Buffalo on Thursday, that might signal the Cowboys’ new direction.
  • In other old-man talk, Tom Coughlin held a presser to discuss what the hell has happened to the Jags.
    • “I offer no excuses” was his opening statement, as he then led into a discussion on priorities and thanked the fans for their patience & continued support.
      • Especially considering he traded away Jalen Ramsey for first-round picks.
  • The Ravens are on pace to break the record for fewest punts in a sixteen game season.
    • According to Wikipedia,
      • Fewest punts – 16-game season: 34 – 1990 Oilers
      • Fewest punts – shortened season: 23 – 1982 Chargers
    • As of Sunday, they have punted 22 times in 11 games, which would add up to 32 in a 16-game season.
    • To borrow from Florio,
      • The Ravens’ last 24 drives with Lamar Jackson at quarterback have ended like this: touchdown, touchdown, kneeldown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, kneeldown, touchdown, touchdown, missed field goal, downs, touchdown, touchdown, kneeldown, touchdown, field goal, field goal, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown. 
  • On the Ravens topic still, Earl Thomas has called his shot
    • “When the Super Bowl comes, whoever we play, they’re going to be in trouble.”
    • This was in response to a question about playing the 49ers this weekend and it being a possible Super Bowl preview.

I just want to take a moment to hearken back to the KSK days & send congrats out to friend of the site Draw Play Dave, who on Monday published his 1000th comic.

Well done, sir.

    

May you have a 1000 more in you.

yeah right

My secretary reminded me that I have a social engagement this Saturday.

At the Forum.

For these guys last (yeah right) tour ever!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wRH9esYgnk

yeah right

So many social engagements, so little time.

BC Dick

My secretary reminded me that she doesn’t work for me and to stay away from her or she’ll use the bear spray this time.

yeah right

She had a point.

BC Dick

Indeed she did. Got me a few times. She’s coming around.

BC Dick

I have a good friend who is there. He will force me to watch many YouTube and self taken videos of this act. For weeks. So I hope it’s good.

BC Dick

What do you think about old punk and rock bands? Since rock and punk and metal, etc. Are a lot about rebellion and saying duck you to the man – can a punk, etc. group who is now in their 50s, kids, very wealthy, still actually do that? Or is it just a goddamn parody? Are they not now what they rebelled against? Rolling Stones are breaking their hips on stage. Has green day always been a bunch of poseurs or is this stuff now at middle age with kids in private school even worse? Or whatever they’re doing. They’re not fighting anything right? They are what they made their money flipping off. I should get some sleep.

yeah right

KROQ is having a block party weekend until Monday,

this sounded good on the way home.

First stage of Thanksgiving UNLOCKED!

I executed a flawless batch of cornbread that was just begging for something to sop it up with and also made a batch of 12 perfectly, cut, cooked and structurally perfect biscuits. Give me some sausage gravy to pour over that shit!

The hard part?

They got to sit and get stale ON PURPOSE!

Grandmommies dressin’ has strict rules.

And she’s a harsh mistress.

yeah right

Look at the layers!

Biscuits. Delicious. I went on a high school rugby tour to Bellingham once and ordered biscuits and gravy with iced tea at a restaurant. Being Canadian I expected biscuits comma with gravy and sweet tea. I got a bowl filled to the brim with gravy which contained several small, saturated biscuits and a glass of unsweetened cold tea. I did not enjoy this.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I have the hiccups. Not something I usually have to deal with. But tonight it won’t stop.

FUCK YOU DIAPHRAGM!!!!!

yeah right

Old stoner cure.

Pound a 12 oz beer, non-stop.

The hold your breath for 30 seconds.

If that doesn’t work?

You gotta cannonball that shit.

BC Dick

A pool, and a pond. The pond would be good for you.

TheRevanchist

I hear masturbating a lot helps. I suggest posting a vid to let us know if it does. I’m sure we won’t put it on Motherless.

Unsurprised

The only bad thing about The Irishman is that it could be longer, but the problem is that it feels like the last time you talk to someone who’s lived such an amazing and tragic life. And once they’re gone, that’s it. That’s all gone.

But it also feels like someone making sure that what we take away isn’t just that the world they made was all tough guys and bad guys, but there was something genuine and heartfelt about what they did. They wanted to make things a little better for a hell of a lot of people. And if some people at the top killed each other to get it done, well, that’s the price we pay.

Unsurprised

One if my favorite politicians went to prison for nearly a decade for mail fraud. However, he also spent his entire life fighting for the little guy and for his community. But he also knew that how you get things done isn’t exactly legal. Not always. But when you build a career on the law and what’s lawful and principled, then eventually you’re going to get nailed because the people trying to take them down have no problem using the law or using media when it’s to their advantage.

It’s hard to be right and legal 100% of the time. There’s a book about how we all commit three felonies a day. So at some point, so it’s not a matter of what but when.

BC Dick

But if someone who used those same practices did something you disagree with, would you say the same? He would’ve believed it was just as righteous and so would his believers or backers. That’s why the law matters. Everything is justified if the justification is belief in a cause.

BC Dick

Three felonies a day? Those are pretty bad things, no? Maybe on the weekends. Do regular folk steal a car, stab a stranger and sell crack every day? I don’t know exactly what makes a felony but that seems high. Or I gotta get to know this guys friends.

Sharkbait

Buddy Cianci was elected Mayor, arrested for assault and corruption as mayor, went to jail, and was reelected upon his release.

BC Dick

Did he do it every day though? Captain Spaulding might do three a day, but you’d have to fuck a chicken and have a dedicated poop cam to do three every day. I like Rhode Island reds but not that much.

Unsurprised

They ran out of brown shugga. I’m stuck with fat tire

Unsurprised

And a sweet potato pie

Sharkbait

Unpopular opinion: sweet potatoes are gross and besmirch the good potato name.

Unsurprised

The pies are good

BC Dick

I do find that disagreeable. I like my sweet potatoes roasted with olive oil, salt and pepper. And Tabasco when they’re cold.

yeah right

You could almost…

make a hash out of that.

Sharkbait

Could be worse. Could be bud light lime

Unsurprised

I’m not that Mexican

blaxabbath

So weird to read Logan Thomas may take a snap. He was a BAAAAAAAAD Bruce Arian project like a lifetime ago. He was never close to ever being an option at QB and knew he’d been a TE but come on….

But nawww — some billion dollar team hasn’t figured a decent metric for measuring out health predictions and how to staff a 53 man roster to always have just eleven competent players on the field for any given play.

King Hippo

There really should be MOAR roster spots (and more gameday actives). To me, that’s an easy way to create more jobs for the union (maybe in exchange for 17-game season, with everyone playing an “overseas” fixture).

Unsurprised

The PA is really limited by being run by players. It’s almost like them being uneducated is a long term benefit to the nfl owners

BC Dick

And that the owners are billionaires and the players are only new millionaires. And with short career spans. That to me is the difference and why the other big sports leagues have guaranteed contracts. If a majority of your members would lose 1/4 or so of their career earnings by striking for a whole year, you’ll never have the leverage to beat 32 guys who could flush $100,000 down the toilet every day and not notice.

BC Dick

And ladies. Not just guys. Love you, Jody Allen. Please don’t sell.

Unsurprised

And so it’s so hard to say “this isn’t just about you but about the kids who are in pop Warner now who will be affected by the outcome of these negotiations or of a strike.”

They already put in all the work and time and risked everything. How do you ask them to sacrifice even more against these billionaires?

BC Dick

The Blue Jays can’t do it with a 25 man roster.

BC Dick

I told someone recently my useless and fickle thought that Don Draper is what Archer would look like in human form. Maybe don draper 10 years earlier? But that muddies the issue. They dismissed this as off base. I think I was close.

Unsurprised

Agreed.

Him or Henry Cavill. Either way Jon Benjamin would have to dub over all his lines.

BC Dick

I had to look him up and yep, I can see that. I’d stick with the real voice, partly because of badly dubbed westerns that grind my goddamn gears and partly because I’d be seeing Jon Benjamin. Like when you see the face of the radio voice and it ruins it forever.

Unsurprised

Cavill looks like he should be Superman, and he was great in The Man From UNCLE. But HJB is the voice and hearing the lines coming from anyone else wouldn’t be nearly as funny

BC Dick

I think Don Draper has a pretty good voice, for a human archer. So I think it would be better to have his voice. The radio thing again. I’d see this short weird dude in his wet hot american summer golf shirt. And it just isn’t right. But if it were flawless dubbing, I could get on board. And none of that de-aging bullshit. Oh damn. And who’s Lana Kane? I’ve never wanted a cartoon woman so badly.

Unsurprised

That was a crezzy hawkey match between the Ice Yinzers and Ice Liouns.

Unsurprised

I should get more booze for tomorrow. I’m already out of the sixer I got

Game Time Decision

Duh. YES

BC Dick

Yeah. Is sixer a dazed and confused joke? Six is like when ones phone dies mid-best-porn. I have prepared with close to 50 cans of beer, some ciders, 40 oz of whisky, very cheap wine, a few varieties of smokables and some gummies. I love second thanksgiving.

King Hippo

Rob Ford ain’t really ded, he’s just taken over BC Dick?

BC Dick

I wish I could keep up with Robby. Unfortunately some of it will last into Friday.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Looking at The 506 for this weekend, am I being cynical in thinking that CBS is capitalizing on dude getting conked in the head with his own helmet by showing Browns at Steelers rematch to 90% of the country? A game that would normally only be televised in Western PA and Northern Ohio? “Yeah, watch this game, there might be more outside-the-lines violence!”
Of course, looking at the other games available to them for broadcast, not much there. Although IND-TEN might be decent.

King Hippo

Everybody likes a good holiday weekend race war!

BC Dick

What are you saying about Pouncey? I want the violence. People die all the time. Let’s at least enjoy it so it’s not in vain.

A “French” connection? Yeah, makes sense. Detroit’s probably a solid place to score heroin.

blaxabbath

White trash is perpetually at war over holidays, political correctness, and tv broadcasting— but they’re so happy to threaten a civil war if their messiah is removed from office.

I’ll say it — I’m not concerned about a bunch of obese, uneducated, diabetic “Patriots” throwing a war against civilized America because they’d have to broadcast every single order and directive via Fix News because if Hannity or Judge Jeanine isn’t yelling it, these are millions of people who are too fucking stupid to pull off a simple flank anyways.

Jerry Jones will tell anyone that’ll listen that he wants a winner but deep, deep down, in a place that he’ll never acknowledge, he embraces adequacy.

Viva La Tabula Raza

As long as the stadium is full 10 times a year, any post-season action at AT&T is just frosting on the cake.

blaxabbath

The NFL sells hope. And if you pony up TODAY you have the opportunity to be on the ground floor of something special!

Horatio Cornblower

“he embraces adequacy”

You spelled “coke whores” wrong.

herodotus450

Possible emergency third goaltender situation a-brewing in Detroit.

herodotus450

Apparently the league has gifted the Mapplethorpe Leafs a two goal lead to start the game.

Horatio Cornblower

I’ve been a Cowboys fan since the days of Staubach, Dorsett, and Pearson, (Yeah Right’s eye starts to twitch), but even I am sort of hoping Buffalo wins Thursday if it means Princeton Red and his field goal fetish gets shown the fucking door.

You’ve been a fan long enough to know that the Cowboys will win by 20 and Princeton will get a contract extension.
