Sports: Sunday open thread … [Darleen Click]

Dodgers lose. USC Trojans lose. I don’t even have a local NFL team to root for.

Have at it.

    Fooking Dodgers. First the Pirates, then the Dodgers.

    I’ll take comfort in the Red Sox stomping Detroit. And that my hockey team is killing it.

  2. 11B40 says:

    Greetings:

    But LA is beautiful this time of year, right ???

  3. LBascom says:

    I went to a Dodgers game a couple of weeks ago (v. Rockies), and yes, it was gorgeous weather. The game sucked, but it was a very pleasant evening.

    Fresno State Bulldogs are kicking ass and taking names. Rated 17th now.

    I’m happy the Broncos game will be televised tonight. They don’t usually make it on TV here unless they’re playing a California team.

    Darleen, you could cheer the Raiders, they’re semi-local, sorta. They even have a team worth cheering this year. Their new QB is fun to watch.

    I still hate them of course…

  4. leigh says:

    I was a Raiders fan before it was cool and the gangs started wearing their team jackets. The Rams I never had any use for and it was tough duty being a Charger fan when I lived in Sandy. The Niners were always a rival of my other teams, so I never loved them either.

    At least there were many teams to love and hate in Californistan.

  5. McGehee says:

    I watched the Vols beat South Carolina (or at least, the second half thereof) and was much cheered; Mother-in-Law of Slog is a Tennessee alumna.

    If only Arkansas could have beaten scored even once against Alabama (we always root for whoever’s playing ‘Bama), I would have had an even better Saturday.

  6. Darleen says:

    Lee

    Raiders? I’ve always hated them. I’d rather root for the Chargers, but eh.

    I used to root for the LA Rams when Roman Gabriel was the QB (yes, I’m old)

  7. BigBangHunter says:

    – If you plan on being a Chargers fan you need to know about the Bolt FU mode curse that has plagued the team since the 90’s.

    – The FU mode is a condition the Chargers enter if any of the following should occur during the game:

    * The Chargers are scoring easily and have moved two touchdowns ahead of their opponent. Any sort of easy win potential immediately shifts tem into FU mode.

    * The Chargers need one more score to put the game out of reach for the other team.

    * The Chargers can only lose if Rivers, or whoever is the current college football coach, has to make a decision in the last 3 minutes of the fourth qiarter, or if a fumble or pass interception will cost them the game.

    * All they need to do is hold onto the ball for 12 seconds and run out the clock.

    * If anything is on the line such as a playoff game they will automatically enter FU mode as soon as there is the slightest chance they might win. If its a Super bowl playoff game the other team can’t lose, even if they spot the chargers 4 touch downs..

    * Both teams show up for the game.

    – For instance in todays game they managed to not score from insude the 3 yard line in three drives, finally having to settle for a field goal which they also tried not to get when the coach, who doesn’t apparently know the rules of the game, threw a review flag on an unreviewable play. The clueless quarterback, Rivers, told him to pick up the flag, but too late. The bummbler telling the incompetent what to do too late to matter.

    – Yeah, I’ve been suffering it since the madness of the Fouts days.

  8. serr8d says:

    Looking forward to that Manning v Irsay retribution-fest tonight. Peyton’s annoyed enough to perhaps drop 60 on the hapless Colts. That outcome would bring a smile to my stone face.

  9. serr8d says:

    Jets win. Belicheat loses. Good!

  10. BigBangHunter says:

    – I’m thinking the days of the unbeatable Cheatriots are over, at least for awhile.

  11. BigBangHunter says:

    – BTW the Chargers did win, but only because the happless Jags are even worse than the Dolts if thats possible.

  12. cranky-d says:

    I expect the Vikings to give the Giants their first win of the season Monday night.

    If they could reschedule Monday night games, they would have. It will be a real battle of the lamest.

  13. newrouter says:

    pit 19 bal 16

  14. leigh says:

    It’s tough duty being a Stiller fan this year, for sure.

  15. BigBangHunter says:

    – Well we can’t lose next week, its a bye, then the following week we play “the team who’s name shall not be uttered”, which should be a pretty good game (until FU mode sets in).

  16. BigBangHunter says:

    – Belicheat has always struck me as sort of the male version of Nancy Pill-face. He knows how long he’ll last if the Pats don’t have a winning season, so every loss gets him closer to walking the NE plank and hes showing it.

    – Botox witch bitch, on the other hand, is tipping off the move to Hildebeast as the cult dear leader, and her move to campaigning for ’16 has clearly begun . In one short week Pilosi went from chief appologist for OCare to actually bad mouthing the Wans pet bill, and at the same time glowing words of praise for Shrillary. Just a few days ago any critique what so ever of Bumblefuck and the gestoppo was unacceptable.

    – One good thing about Progs is that they are so fucking predictable.

  17. BigBangHunter says:

    – The Affordable Death Panel Act marches on…..

    Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is even refusing to testify before the House Energy and Commerce Committee in a hearing this coming Thursday. HHS claims she has scheduling conflicts, but we hope she isn’t in the White House catacomb under interrogation by Valerie Jarrett about her department’s incompetence.

    – Its not bad enough for these Aholes that the majority of Americans hate this bill, but now its turning out you can’t even be allowed to know what the fuck your being forced, under penalty of law, to buy.

    – Every time you think the Left has fucked up as badly as any group can, they raise the fuck-up bar another 10 notches.

    – An enigma, wrapped in a cloud bank, under an HHS desk somewhere in a DC wharehouse.

  18. leigh says:

    How can Sebelius refuse to go testify in front of congress?

  19. cranky-d says:

    The fact that The Team That Shall Not Be Named lost today was nice.

  20. BigBangHunter says:

    – Well she can be subpeoned to appear, but so far the hearing is just asking nice like.

    – Ok, the Progs have made the move away from Bumblefuck to the Hill, and now that they see what a total flaming train wreck ObamaCare is going to be, they’re trying to cover that by offering Hilldebeast as the “alternative” to Jug ears total mess in office crappola. Which only makes sense for them to do, plus shes the only candidate they have for 2016, period. Yeah shes started her run alright.

  21. newrouter says:

    > Yeah shes started her run alright.<

    yea go watch

    Harry and Louise on Clinton’s health plan

  22. Ernst Schreiber says:

    I expect the Vikings to give the Giants their first win of the season Monday night.

    The Steelers had similiar thoughts on the plane to London.

  23. cranky-d says:

    The Vikings can only win on foreign soil. No worries for the Giants.

  24. John Bradley says:

    OT: “Separate but Equal” healthcare. ‘Cause it’s not racism when the Right People do it, I suppose.

  25. cranky-d says:

    So Obama is going to roll us back 50 years. Awesome.

  26. John Bradley says:

    Well, the Dems fought tooth and nail against desegregation way back when, so it’s only appropriate that they re-segregate the races now that there’s no opposition party to, you know, oppose them.

  27. cranky-d says:

    Their spiritual leader, Woodrow Wilson, did his part by re-segregating the military and likely putting race relations back 60 years. I guess they are doing a homage to him.

  28. Pablo says:

    Oh, that’s going to work out hilariously when all the doctors are Indians and Pakistanis.

  29. leigh says:

    Pablo, I thought they already were? That is going to be problematic since blacks don’t like Asians. At. All.

  30. Pablo says:

    I’ve still got a Jooooo doc, with blessedly small fingers.

  31. LBascom says:

    I wonder if I should register as Jewish. Everybody knows all the good doctors are Jewish.

  32. LBascom says:

    ohhh, small fingers. Small fingers are good for an over fifty guy.

    Is why I don’t want a chick doctor. ‘Cuz of the nails…

  33. eCurmudgeon says:

    Botox witch bitch, on the other hand, is tipping off the move to Hildebeast as the cult dear leader, and her move to campaigning for ’16 has clearly begun .

    Color me skeptical. The Professional Left – which is rapidly becoming, if not already, the core of the modern Democrat Party – neither likes nor trusts either Clinton.

    I still say it’s much more likely that 2016 will see an Elizabeth Warren/Wendy Davis ticket. And, sadly, will probably win…

  34. newrouter says:

    “Elizabeth Warren/Wendy Davis – the dead baby joke -ticket”

  35. newrouter says:

    proggtardism is insane

  36. LBascom says:

    I know Warren is the fake Pocahontas, but who the hell is Wendy Davis?

  37. Drumwaster says:

    She’s the one who did the stompy-foot routine in Texas because she wanted tax dollars to fund abortions.

    She tried to parlay it into a run for the Texas Governorship, and from that loss to a slot on MSNBC.

  38. Drumwaster says:

    Well, technically, the election she’s gonna lose is scheduled for next year. Adjust verb tenses as necessary.

  39. eCurmudgeon says:

    I know Warren is the fake Pocahontas, but who the hell is Wendy Davis?

    You know, Ms. Pink Sneakers, The Anti-Cruz, etc.

  40. BigBangHunter says:

    – Looks like Andrew is taking Peytan to the woodshed tonight.

  41. BigBangHunter says:

    the core of the modern Democrat Party – neither likes nor trusts either Clinton.

    – They have no choice if they want to compete, they have no other viable candidates and they’ll lose a lot of woman/youth support if they throw her under the bus.

  42. LBascom says:

    Ah, ok. Thanks.

    Yeah, I don’t think so. The Dems bench is pretty weak for 2016, but not that weak…

  43. My primary doc is Jewish and has long, thin fingers – this way nothing gets missed and it don’t hurt…much.

  44. serr8d says:

    Wendy Davis, AKA Abortion Barbie. Her claim to brilliance is for pushing late-term abortions in the face of aghast Texans. Of course the Democrats love her, because aborting babies is their only trackback to eugenics, which they miss terribly.

  45. BigBangHunter says:

    – So the tally for the weekend: The Buckeyes won, The Chargers won, The Browns lost but so did the Cheatriots, and Manning got ripped. Good times.

  46. BigBangHunter says:

    – House negro squables.

  47. Physics Geek says:

    As a St. Louis Cardinals fan, I’m actually in a good mood this morning. YMMV.

  48. I Callahan says:

    The Tigers lost, with pitching that set records. Which tells you something about their anemic hitting. Same as last year.

    Since my team is out, I have to root for the Cardinals, if for no reason other than the fact that they did it without Albert Pujols, who got paid 1/2 of the national debt to play for the Angels, who didn’t come close to making the playoffs. So good on the Cards.

    And besides – I hate east coast elitists. So go Cards!

  49. Pablo says:

    Small fingers are good for an over fifty guy.

    Over fifty? Seeing as how I’m not there yet, I’m going to have to have a serious talk with Doc about his behavior over the better part of the last decade. Unfortunately, we’re going to have to have that talk today.

  50. Pablo says:

    they did it without Albert Pujols, who got paid 1/2 of the national debt to play for the Angels,

    Correction: “got paid 1/2 the national debt to NOT play for the Angels.”

  51. Slartibartfast says:

    Unfortunately, we’re going to have to have that talk today.

    I have a female doctor. My first exam with her had her making a rather bawdy joke that had me bust out laughing, which distraction she used to perform the dreaded one-finger exam.

    Which was more pleasant, really, than previous exams, although it didn’t rise to pleasant.

    Yeah, I know. Shut up.

    I hope that “one finger exam” is not also a reason for having a bone to pick with your doc.

  52. I Callahan says:

    Pablo – Mea Culpa

    :)

  53. serr8d says:

    So, if Peyton Manning is at home in Lucas Oil Stadium, the Colts will always win.

    Good to know. I’ll update my #bookiefilez.

  54. sdferr says:

    Jim Leyland has hung up his cleats. Onward and upward, Tigers.

  55. serr8d says:

    Oh. Bud Adams died, 3 days after Bum Phillips died.

    TITANS! NEW OWNER!

  56. serr8d says:

    Goodbye 8-8 seasons.

    Hello! ?-? INFINITY!

  57. serr8d says:

    (Damned ‘?’ should be that sideways-8 infinity symbol. WTF is wrong with this WordPress thinger, denying higher math ? )

  58. serr8d says:

    “I’m extremely saddened to hear of the passing of Bud Adams. Mr. Adams gave me my first opportunity to be a head coach in the NFL, and I’m eternally grateful to him for that. We enjoyed a great deal of success together during my 17 seasons with the organization, and I’ll cherish those memories for the rest of my life. My respect for Mr. Adams goes well beyond the owner/coach relationship that we shared for many years. He was a pioneer in the football business. He played a key role in creating and sustaining the American Football League, which helped push the popularity of our game to where it is today. My thoughts and prayers are with the Adams family during this difficult time.”
