Your “Sin City, Here We Come!” Monday Night Football Open Thread

Look at that shiny new machine! Them Raiders are going to take it for a spin tonight but without the delightful characters that usually inhabit the stands. I think that’s a minor victory for you and I, the average viewer. I’ve a few observations but I think we should first take a stroll down Injury Lane. [holds out hand]

C.J. Uzomah-Achilles tendon ruptureroo

McCaffrey-High Cankle Strain

Saquon-ACL owchie

S. Shepard-Toe is turfed, concussion scheduled for wk. 8

D. Adams-Strained Hamster

P. Campbell-Sprained MCL/PCL/IPO/CIA

Jimmy G.-Ankle Kablooie

R. Mustard-MCL, with the Candlestick, on the field

T. Coleman-“Mystery Knee Thingy”

C. Akers-Ribs (Un-sauced)

C. Sutton-taking courses at ACLU “GO TORTS!”

D. Lock-“Labrum? I hardly know him!”

Tyrod T.-Chest Pains caused by painkilling injection*

*might be a fact

TO THE GAME!

Saints/Raiders:

-The Raiders generous D gifted the (“We’re thinking about tanking, we’ll see how it goes”) Panthers with 30 points last week so you may want to take the over on the Brees getting 2.5 TD passes.

-Yeah, sure Michael Thomas and his lion’s share (32%) of passing targets is gone but the Raiders D ranked 31st in Football Outsiders DVOA stat and they didn’t really upgrade that much. I’m guessing that Kamara and Sanders eat a part of that up and that there will be a renewed focus on the ground game.

-Rb Jacobs scored himself 3 TD’s last week and that puts him at almost 50% of the way towards his 7 total from last year. I don’t imagine he’ll have the space to run tonight that he had last week. That Saints D has playmakers at every level, as a certain Mr. Brady discovered last week.

Any score predictions? I’ll do 35-13 Saints. Give me yours down below. Speaking of below, closest to the final tally gets a virtual pat on the rump.

Mother Puncher

is the lead singer made of plastic or is that just what being Mormon does to you

litre_cola

Yeah the other dudes have aged, where as he looks fresh out of the plastic.

Doktor Zymm

This is far more PG than I would expect or prefer for the first Raiders half time in Vegas

Horatio Cornblower

THIS HALF TIME SHOW I CALL IT THE 49ERS DEFENSE, BECAUSE IT LOOKED GOOD ON PAPER BEFORE WEEK 2!!!!

Mother Puncher

The drummer of The Killers always looked like he’d be way more fun to hang out with than the rest of the band

Viva La Tabula Raza

The cameraperson seems to like him.

Unsurprised

No one should be working. The only reason anyone is working is because every institution in the U.S. has collectively failed so catastrophically that it’s only because our collective apathy and fear that the entire world isn’t on fire.

Mother Puncher

What would Nick Bosa’s jersey say if they were allowed to customize them like the NBA?

Viva La Tabula Raza

“Rittenhouse.”

Mother Puncher

Say His Name

Sharkbait

Matron!

Unsurprised

Is that a real photo in the banner?

Doktor Zymm

Oh no! Carr crash!

I will never be this frightening in my life

Unsurprised

Nothing is more frightening than Death

Mr. Ayo

That’s just Breesus’ house warming gift.

Doktor Zymm

Much more thoughtful than a fruit basket!

Naked down!

rockingdog

that was a sick catch
this better stay as a TD

Fronkenshteen

Ten completions in a row? I think Carr gets a comped breakfast buffet at Caesar’s Palace for that.

JustStopDude

Watching the raiders not matter and doing blow…IM GONNA LIVE FOREVER!!!!

reality is that I am in bed, gently falling asleep while sipping warm milk.

Do you think Richie Incognito has a good twin somewhere named Poorey Unconcealed?

litre_cola

2020 – Nelson Aglohor caught a football.

JustStopDude

Yo my bad everyone. My black ass sat next to richie on the bus so his head ain’t in this game.

LemonJello

How many of the visitor’s lockers has Incognito shit in at the “Death Star”?

Horatio Cornblower

Thanks Lisa, but I’m pretty sure this is far from the first time Richie Incognito has been called “questionable.”

Sharkbait

Fucking Trump ad. Drink!

Horatio Cornblower

TRUMP HAS CREATED 10.6 MILLION JERBS IN FOUR MONTHS!!!!
/please do not ask us about the 30 million lost over the preceding 3 months

Mother Puncher

Donald Trump: Look how high I made this dead cat bounce

LemonJello

PornHub has the strangest ads*.

*Or so I’ve heard

Doktor Zymm

I’m really curious what audience they’re trying to reach. The ‘undecided’ voter is somewhat of a myth, there are plenty of apathetic voters so you can use advertising to drive turnout, but is that really what he’s trying to do?

LemonJello

He just likes to see his image and hear his name on the teevee.

Doktor Zymm

Like babies and housepets!

Sharkbait

But at least those are likable.

Doktor Zymm

Damn right they are, that’s why they get their own channels!

Bow wow

JustStopDude

Both my parents believe Hilary Clinton create Covid to kill Herman Cain.

Why yes I had to secure power of attorney to protect them.

Doktor Zymm

So they think Hillary is a really inefficient assassin? The Russians are good at assassination

Doktor Zymm

Oooh, good place to come in. Although if that had been Calvin Johnson no way that would be considered a catch

Mother Puncher

this brewers first baseman is thicccccc

rockingdog

thats a cool job
design sports graphics packages for live sports/television

Brick Meathook

it’s a shitty job, as evidenced by the hacks who do it

Horatio Cornblower

Solid choice.

Don T

/sits down to write notes
“You good”

I do like the black and white aesthetic to the Raider Stadium. Corporate logo colors can deal with it.

Yea you look way better on the left dipshit

Spur

I think he looks fine – Kenny rogers

Brick Meathook

Who the hell is Travis Tritt?

Horatio Cornblower

Right wing country singer who had some moments in the 90’s.

Horatio Cornblower

One of the better self-owns I’ve ever seen.

Doktor Zymm

Wait, which picture is supposed to be the humiliating one?

rockingdog

LOL he didn’t identify the original & altered

Spur

some lucky Arab high roller is going fork over six figures for an hour with that stallion

litre_cola

Jacobs time please!!!

Mr. Ayo

Request denied. Your daily reminder that FF is a terrible disease.

litre_cola

Every. God. Damn. League.

LemonJello

Is this the first time the new MNF booth has ever been in the same place?

It’s like they just met in the parking lot before the game.

It would be neat if a QB did that KILL KILL KILL! call, and triggered a hypnotized assassin on the sidelines/pitch, who then started murdering everyone on live teevee.

herodotus450

Wow, made it 45 seconds into the Canadian intermission report before muting, as opposed to the 4.5 nanoseconds that I usually make it into the NBC one.

Beerguyrob

Kelly Hrudey or Elliotte Friedman?

LemonJello

Witten is a Raydah?

Spur

WHY do my IT guys insist one forcing out a security update NOW!
I bet one of dinos in sales clicked on a phishing email

LemonJello

Friday nights are for either Magic: The Gathering or Dungeons & Dragons?

Beerguyrob

Did he say he’d rather draft Michael Sam before Kaep?

litre_cola

If he is into God then he would be in to Lennay Kekua in my opinion.

litre_cola

In a chat with my buddies (Non DFoers), one guy made a joke that Carr can’t hear the plays because of all The Smiths he has piped into his headset.

Beerguyrob

Typical Fulham yobs.

Spur

Raiders still need a better line but I think Carr is not long for the desert.

Fronkenshteen

And Mariota waiting in the wings.

Beerguyrob

But it’s not a wet Hawaiian heat. He’ll melt just like Carr’s makeup when he’s standing in line at Macabre Mercantile.

litre_cola

He was just there perusing the political cartoons. Our JJD was very advanced for his age.

Viva La Tabula Raza

And Little Annie Fanny. Kurtzman was a genius.

herodotus450

Tampa falling back on their superior intelligence, superior firepower, to dominate this period

Spur

Tampa superior intelligence??? Are they playing a team from Tallahassee?

herodotus450

Well to be fair most of the players are originally from Moose Jaw or Saskatoon

Spur

Stop those cant be real places. Canada clearly has a cloning facility.

WCS

This reads like the beginning of one of Buddy’s stories…

Gratliff

Thinking I might rewatch Toast of London.

Interesting note, the actor playing Ray Purchase in real life is married to the Jen actress from IT Crowd

rockingdog

the cool new stadiums are cool

Spur

This one is painted black and not black from Crystal meth fumes.

Mother Puncher

Mark Davis. . . did a good?

Sharkbait

Mark Davis isn’t there? Was there a line at PF Chang’s?

Beerguyrob

He’s getting a haircut.

King Hippo

I think if you are penalized on the extra point, the try should only be worth 0.5

Sharkbait

You just want pushes on half point spreads

litre_cola

Aaaaanddd what’s wrong with that?

LemonJello

“.5? That’s my resting BAC.”
-Steve Keim

LemonJello

Dawwwww, we don’t get “HI! I’M MARK DAVIS” tonight.
