Your “The Playoffs Are Near” Friday Evening Open Thread

Yup.  Wildcard Weekend is upon us.

Easy there.  I know it’s exciting, but be careful.  Don’t hurt yourself or you’ll end up in the blue tent.

My Ratbirds finished in a big way, so they don’t even have to play this weekend.

14-2 Baybeeeeee!!!!!

Sorry, gotta get it in before they get upset at home in the divisionals.

But I can maybe get some sleep this weekend.  KC, GB and SF fans also can get some much needed rest this weekend.

The rest of you can suck it.

OK, let’s just get to it before I say something I’ll regret later.

But not before expressing gratitude to the one guy who might get the Ratbirds their 3rd Lombardi Trophy.  But also who more or less single handedly got me the FF league championship this year.

Do I miss Flacco?  Yeah, just like I miss having diarrhea.

Have fun freezing your ass off on the sidelines in Denver, Jerkface.  If it wasn’t for your ineptitude, SF would never have gotten back into the game in XLVII.  Yet they still gave you the MVP somehow and you rode that to the bank.  And then some…

Yes, I prefer Lamar!!!!!!!

NCAA FB Bowls

Sorry, this one will be over by the time you read this.

Wait, no, I’m not sorry.  You should be thanking me for that.  The wrong Ohio vs the wrong Wolf Pack.  They don’t even know how to spell it correctly, and they tried to steal NC State’s logo (seriously).  Plus it’s the Doody Bowl.

Fuck ’em both.

Same as usual.  No nationals on TV on a Friday.  And only two matches at all.  One of which I might decide to go see live and in person tonight (Caps @ ‘Canes) if I’m still sober enough by then.

However…..It’s looking unlikely at this point.

Full Schedule

[…] Divisional Weekend.  And even though I more or less did the same theme last week for the Wildcard Weekend, we’re doing it again.  And you’ll just have to live with […]

New Japan using clips of Stan Hansen-Andre the Giant to sell their streaming service would be great if the commercials ever made it to US TV since Impact’s parent company bought AXS and effectively blocked NJPW from airing.

Now the last time the Bills played Houston in the playoffs almost 27 years to the day, shit got wild. The comeback was cool and whatnot but I shit myself in a North Tonawanda bar!

You know what’s a great way to while away the hours? Old episodes of Psych

Operation: Sleep Before Wrestle Kingdom was a complete failure, so the next 48 hours are gonna get super interesting with playoff football mixed in and work on Monday, but sticking it out for the unification tourney. Put the belts on Naito, cowards.

Goddamn it feels like I woke up from a coma.

There’s this nasty ass strain of a head cold floating around local that will turn you into a goddamn snot factory.

I spent my two already elected days off on New Years Eve and Day and all I managed to do was get snot on my pillow.

Motherfucker, I’m finally feeling good just in time for work on Monday?!

This will cheer me up.

Am rooting for the Vikes, because the only realistic path for the Eagles is blowing them out in Philly again

Might as well be -701 now.

Horatio Cornblower

We were supposed to take the Jesus tree down tonight, but instead one of us got dragged to his wife’s company party and decided to get drunk and talk about flooring options with the other husbands instead. Heart pine? Sure, I’ll pretend to know that that is. A fun time was had by all, and the tree gets another night to show off before I throw it on to what, if I’m being honest, probably isn’t my property.

In short: comment image?w=636&h=325

Gotta use oil-based paint on that type of flooring.

Horatio Cornblower

/nods knowingly
Oh, absolutely.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Leave it to Horatio to be the one guy to go to a party where they are talking about “options” and there not even being any cocaine there.

yeah right

Don’t go all the way heart pine.
