11/19/2018 – 11/25/2018 Thanksgiving Week Thread

Just in time to claim on taxes good girl

This Celtics team is BS. Down 20 early to the Knicks!

Losing to the Knicks would be rock bottom, right?

Don’t understand the Lions not going for it there.

I don’t understand them going for two when it was 16-13. Then again, it’s the Lions, doesn’t matter who’s coaching them

Austin Carr – why can’t we get players like that – Lobel, B

Random thought: Remember David Given’s reception in the Carolina in the Super Bowl where he shoved the CB to the ground then caught a pass? Just wondering if that’s still legal or not.

If it’s not now, it will be soon. After all the “greatest game ever talk Monday”, I’m sure the NFL will keep moving in that direction. I’ve heard a couple of analysts say that they need to make it legal to bump a receiver for 10 yards to give the defenses a chance. Those guys aren’t getting it. The league wants this and more. It’s more likely they eliminate any contact with a receiver. I wouldn’t be shocked to see them remove the 5 yard rule all together if scoring slips.

This current NFL management is ruining the game but by all means, what we watched Monday was the greatest thing ever.

Losing to the 3-15 Hawks to fall under .500 would be rock bottom, right?

Blowing a 20 point lead to do so might be. Not happening though.

Bob McNair won’t be down for Texas Toast.

Letterman jackets for the pallbearers?

Will he not be down to make DeflateGate innuendos and alienate players over the anthem issue?

Needed a refresher on what he said as it’s hard to keep track of them all.  JJ  Watt wouldn’t have destroyed his cell phone!

Nothing like being woken at 6:15 because your neighbor had his kid for the weekend and was pounding on the horn screaming get your f’n stuff, get the f’n dog and get the f in the car now.

Two kids home for Thanksgiving. Youngest has been asleep more than awake. All my beer is gone.

I have to run the youngest to the airport sunday morning and want to leave by 7am . That should be a hoot and a half.

I never had Chico’s experience with kids and cable, but I definitely learned to change my viewing habits. After my daughter was born, I heard from someone that infants can’t really focus on anything beyond a few feet for several months. I never bothered to verify this and took it as permission to watch what I usually watched if I was giving the baby a bottle. This worked fine until one feeding where I saw that Alien was just starting. I figured not much happens early in the movie and put it on. After about 30 seconds of the opening music, the baby starts crying. I change the channel and she stops. I change it back to the movie and she crying starts again. The opening credits were still rolling, we hadn’t even met the crew or landed on LV-426. That’s when I realized I was going to have to watch what the kid might like.

Then there was the time Austin Powers was on and my oldest heard “shit” for the first time as a 3 year old. I laughed and thought nothing of it. Mrs RB comes home and the first thing the kid says is “shit”.

Brother Jim can’t win a meaningful game to save his life

I liked Fox advertising it as fiercest rivalry in sports. Meanwhile in Argentina…

But a guy on BC jumped offside on 4th and 5 TWICE, giving Syracuse a first down both times.

Then, on 4th and 10 he jumped offside AGAIN. But on this one, for good measure, as the “free play” went on, he roughed the passer.

Somehow, after all of this, the kid was still in the game and his ass wasn’t glued to the bench. Couldn’t believe that.

The Celtics really have the #1 three point defense this season like Grande says? I’d have thought that that’d be one of the areas where they backslid in this early season mediocrity.

So, Dwight Howard has had an interesting day

not that there’s anything wrong with…….

This is infuriating to watch, these frigging refs.

And we thought Ed Hochuli was bad…

Blatant hands to the face by the Jets on both drives there.

Andrew Luck missed the better part of two full seasons with a shoulder that is like hamburger.   So, the refreshing Frank Reich has had him go out for passes in each of the last two games and today he got tackled fairly solidly.   Hate to see the guy get hurt, but if they keep this shit up it would serve them right if he gets hurt again.

I think the Chargers roll the Steelers next week. Last 2 weeks Steelers look terrible aside from limited stretches where they seem to be completely out of it and just wing it and are 50/50 on that working out. I also think the Chargers beat KC in a few weeks. If not, I blame the beer.

Amazing how often they fuck up the penalties on roughing or running into kickers

I’m not going to put the game in the hands of a kicker.  Because leaving the game in your hands has produced what exactly?
