Your Monday Night Football Doubleheader Open Thread

Hey, yesterday didn’t suck, ya know? Oh, maybe your team sucked but the day? Nah. And tonight we have a couple of young-ish qb’s whose careers really could go either way, facing off against some D’s that could cause some skittishness. How will they do? [shrugs shoulders] I don’t know but let’s have the old looky-loo, shall we?

Steelers/Giants:

Last year New York gave up the third-most turnovers in the league and the Steelers had the most sacks and takeaways. This doesn’t look good. I’ve been told that Watt, Heyward and Dupree are jonesing for Danny Dimes. Three new faces are featured on a rebuilt offensive line that was a rebuild last year that was a rebuild from the year previous. Yikes. Stunts, blitzes, bull rushes-Pitt is going to make this game as physical as possible, get up early and win going away. I see a doubling up along the lines of 36-18 or 40-20.

Titans/Broncos:

Drew Lock got five games under his belt and had 7 tds and 3 int’s which seems like typical ‘rookie under fire’ numbers. It looks as though Courtland Sutton is a ‘not-go’ tonight so rook Jerry Jeudy and second-year te Noah Fant might have to do some heavy lifting-a sign of things to come? [looks at wr backups] Tim Patrick? Diontae Spencer? DeaSean Hamilton? Wow, your depth chart might be as skinny as the Giants! The Von Miller-less D has to somehow stay away from third and short situations because the Titans (using you-know-who) were the best in the league there once Tannyfanny became the starter.

Enough of my barking-it’s you guys that make the site the delightful place that it is. Do that thing you do.

Still no power in Big Bear. They claim it will be back on by 8:30 and that it wasn’t caused by the gender reveal fire. We shall see… but hey the Steelers won!

Doktor Zymm

At least you still have internet access! Hope the power comes back before your battery dies 🙁

Don T

Hope the power comes back soon.

litre_cola

There is some Fant action right there Horatio!

Played basketball!

Stars tie it up after being down by a pair; more PROOF that you never want to be up by two goals in hockey

blaxabbath

The Postmates fan cam thing is terrible

Doktor Zymm

I assume people volunteer to be on it, which really makes me wonder what kind of a person would do such a thing

blaxabbath

I can’t honestly think of any scenario for the rest of my life where I would stand for the anthem.

Don T

Kern Time woo!
/kickschair

Doktor Zymm

Sloppy start, but nice recovery!

blaxabbath

Delay of game in an empty stadium.

I don’t see why this guy can’t lead the Dolphins to 0-16 this season.

Horatio Cornblower

The only Denver I support:

What other industry is made up entirely of private corporations that kick off the workday with a tribute to the country where those corporations are based? It’s just pro sports in the US and a bunch of factories in communist countries, isn’t it?

Sharkbait

I’ve never thought about it like that, but you’re probably right

hippofant

The CFL plays the national anthem too, but I think that’s probably just because the NFL does it.

blaxabbath

Is it true that teams never even used to be out for the anthem til the govt started paying them as part of their Salute to Fake Patriotism? I read it on a meme so I’m not as committed to the fact as, say, Republicans are to child rapists.

herodotus450

mid-2000s is what I think I read, about when they started playing the anthem before every game.

Doktor Zymm

I’ve heard that too, but my source is the ‘offhand mention’ which is about as reliable as a random meme

herodotus450

Private schools that still recite the pledge?

Sharkbait

Ok. Putting that kick “in the air” is a bit of a stretch there…

King Hippo

Instead of anthem, I would have played the video for Public Enemy’s “Bruthas Gonna Work It Out”

litre_cola

Is 10 Pts from AJ Brown too much to ask for Gamblor?

Sharkbait

Nowhere near enough. MOAR POINTS

clint greasewood

we need like 20+

Horatio Cornblower

If I can get your support for 10 points for Noah Fant, I will throw my support for 10 points from AJ Brown.

litre_cola

Done!

King Hippo

So…Donks the only franchise I noticed with a white devil anthem singer.

Sharkbait

Does Denver have actual fans?

Doktor Zymm

Looks like it, I know there were 5 teams that were considering it

King Hippo

I’m not real, do not count.

Sharkbait

You vary well may be a morphine/codine/demerol induced apparition

Fun fact, when I fucked up my leg, I was on a combination of that at once.

King Hippo

LUCKY!!!

Lindsay. Standing.

hippofant

I prefer Linsday Stirling.

Don T

Worth repeatin’: the ESPN Deportes crew is great. Fun Fact! They call the QB pocket “bolsa” (“bag” en español). Methinks the right side of the TEN OL will suffocate Tannehill.

herodotus450

Know what they call Intentional Grounding in Mexico? Royale Grounding.

litre_cola

In Mexico for every flag the whole bar would yell CASTIGO! Was hilarious and never got old…

Horatio Cornblower

That would have been such a great name for BLEERGH.

Please be a shootout.

Assuming the Tits have one sentient CB, I put the Donks o/u at 2.5

Maria Taylor is yum.

That is all.

That suitcase asked wonderful questions.

hippofant

I missed much of the game because I took a nap.

Why do these announcers also sound like they need a nap?

WCS

You should have been listening to the Yinzer radio broadcast. All of them have clearly been drunk since noon.

King Hippo

Psst, he still won by like 50

litre_cola

Oh, I was fucking god awful in Hippo lge this week. A fool and his money has parted.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

No fucking way am I staying up late on eastern time for this. #old

I took a nap so I could make it through this late-night Donks-icide

Oh yeah, its a Hippo Don T derby!

There may even be a very loosely defined shame bet element….

Nicotine gum. Pairs well with whisky.

That’s just CLASS right there.

Vodka is properly frozen.

If by coffee you mean rye…

Its homemade hot wings time here on the Best Coast. Goes well with 200 AQI air

Please, may I have another interception?

Pretty easy to identify the last year there was one good team in the NFC East, but can anyone remember the last time there were 2?

Don T

Too soon? Dying over here.

BTW in iceball, 1-0 Ice Raiders after 2. It would be nice if I could read!

Ice NgCp need to stand down and let us get a game 6 at least.

Since I wasn’t paying attention… how in the fuck do you end a 19-play drive with a pick?

Sharkbait

Giants gonna Giant.

Mr. Ayo

Hilariously!

Eli probably snorted his chocolate milk through his nose on that one.

So it appears I need a big night from Tennessee. PRAY TO GAMBLOR

Hmmm, surely they won’t run the shallow cross yet again this play? LET’S BACK OFF!!

Fronkenshteen

Big Snell run here?

King Hippo

I did pick up Snell in DFO League this afternoon. Because I could only cut Vikes’ D for someone whose team ain’t played

clint greasewood

Stupid commissioner in my FFL didn’t set a weekly waiver time or order, so now its a complete shit show.

Real happy I didn’t take Connor in any league, he seems a bit injury prone.

plus a real cancer imo
