    Here!! ::waves hands madly::

    Um, not that I expect to participate in said open thread, as I’m about to hit the road for Asheville and will be BJ-less for the next few hours. But I’ll gladly sign your petition.

    Thank goodness football is back.

    Meh. I like football, but its return heralds the end of summer. I always have mixed feelings about the beginning of the football season.

    Congratulations Michigan Wolverines for a well deserved hard fought victory over dreadful Notre Dame. Brent Musburger is somewhere drunk and crying.

    The SO is watching The Derek Dooley Show. Because we didn’t get enough Vols pr0n yesterday. I’m going out on the porch to read.

    Well, maybe “football” is back for some you. But there are those of us for whom football, real football, the kind played with feet and head, has been back for the past month! :)

    Where, oh where has Randinho gone for the fanatics of “the beautiful game”?

    A Steelers fan AND a Michigan fan?! What am I doing here?

    Will LeBron James be guest posting in the future?

    STILLERS!

    Opening with the hated Ravens, no less. Can’t wait.

    After what will hopefully will be an epic victory on enemy soil, we will be having stuffed green peppers. Got these gorgeous and HUGE peppers at a local farm and I can’t wait to dig in. The sauce will be from our own tomatoes and onions. A little Pinot noir and I’ll be fat and happy.

    Steelers vs. Ravens, this is designed to handicap both teams for the next 4-8 games at least. There is approximately a 99% chance one or both teams will suffer a major injury during this game.

    Also I apologize to anyone who tried to sign up for bjfl League of Last Chances. We received 12+ inches of rain on Wed here in Mt.Wolf,PA and I lost all 3 of my computers, my modem, and my router in the resulting flash flood.

    I’m in on the request for an open thread, or for seizing this one. My sweet dog Bailey took a terrible turn on Friday, spent all day at the vet, we got one last night together at home, and then I had to take him to the vet on Saturday morning to let him go. And there hasn’t been a single thread since then where I felt I could say anything.

    Fuck the NFL and their fucking disaster porn 9-11 tribute. Shut the fuck up and kick the fucking football.

    [xpost with WaterGirl. I’m really sorry for your loss, and sorry for the jarring juxtaposition.]

    Raven (formerly stuckinred)

    They have off switches on nearly all electronic devices and many allow you to change channels, websites, frequencies. When there are thread about stupid science fiction shows I go somewhere else. If you don’t like football di-fucking-di-mau!

    Raven (formerly stuckinred)

    @Joey Maloney: They were all over it at the Georgia-South Carolina game yesterday. I guess no school or team could think of NOT doing something so they do.

    @WaterGirl: Aw WG, I looked for you all day yesterday. I’m so very sorry about Bailey. Words don’t mean much but you’ve always been so nice and caring here. Please take care.

    @jeffreyw: Awwwwwwww! Congrats on your new baby! She’s adorable. And, what are bacups?

    @WaterGirl: Oh, I’m so sorry for your loss, WG. Gentle hugs to you, and a white light to guide Bailey to the other side.

    Go, Stillers. Fuck. Raven TD.

    @BD of MN: I cut a round of rye bread out with a biscuit cutter just because I had the bread going stale on me. I think your hash browns idea has merit. I’ll put a short “how to” post up over at W4Dinner in a bit. Yes, there will be pictures, tho no arrows or circles.

    Oh, Water Girl, I’m so sorry! That point is coming with our Henry and my heart breaks for you.

    In other news, I’m sorry about that horrid display our D just put on. Fuck.

    @ WaterGirl, Just saw your comment. Oh man, I am so sorry. I feel for you, as I’m sure everyone else does. Thinking of you.

    @jeffreyw: It has been 35 years since I have not had at least one dog. I always have two, and after I lose one, when the time is right, I get another buddy for all of us.

    But after my kitty soul mate Quiver dies, the kitty I wanted 4 months later came with a litter mate, so I got both of them, but then I couldn’t afford a second dog. So here I am, not only without Bailey but without any dog at all. Of course, I keep hearing and seeing Bailey everywhere, but that doesn’t make it any better.

    The world is just not right for me without a dog. Take a walk? Without a dog? That would be the loneliest thing ever. Water the flowers? Without a dog to help me? Heartbreaking. For 13 years, Bailey was always at my side. For everything. I could barely make myself go to bed last night. It just felt so wrong.

    Skol Vikings! Wouldn’t you know my DirecTV receiver crapped out this morning – locked in a start loop. Oh well, down to my favorite sports brewery to watch the Vikes later.

    My prediction is for All Day to have a massive game – maybe break his own record. He will want to show everyone he is worth all that money he just got. Skol!

    I’m not getting the Steelers game on the teevee, but keeping up with it on ESPN.com makes me wonder if it’s too early for scotch.

    @SIA:

    Actually I have procrastinated so much that I’m still here! (But leaving any minute now. Really.) (No, I mean it.)

    Staff retreat tomorrow and Tuesday. I’m going up early to enjoy the scenery, and to avoid getting up at first sparrow fart tomorrow.

    Okay, I’m going now. ‘Bye!

    Go Packers!! Back to the Superbowl.

    A shame the Packers and Steelers won’t meet up again. No regular season games.

    God, how I detest football. To me it is about the most boring sport around. 4 hours to get in what, at best, has 30 minutes of action. Must have been invented by whoever came up with Cricket.

    My brother wanted to wager and was willing to take Indy and I just couldn’t. It felt like cheating somehow. Darn..morality sucks. He also wanted the Bears and that one, I passed. The Falcons look like they are still playing a preseason game.

    Enjoy it while you can. The links between football and irreversible brain trauma are now pretty well established. Any parent who lets their kid play this game should be reported to Child Protective Services.

    Your grandkids won’t even know what football was, and the biggest week of their sporting year will be the last week in May, with the Champions League final and the final four in NCAA lacrosse.

    Cole. 2:30 left in third quarter. Ouch.

    On the bright side you still have that bottle of fine Scotch, perhaps a half rack of Rolling Rock and the love of your dog.

    Oh and a Towel. Keep that TT close at hand, Lily hates to see you weep

    Well…wide open Atlanta receiver not a bad pass but a drop. Is it possible the bears did some drugging of the Atlanta team? What did the Falcons eat and when did they eat it?

    @FlipYrWhig:

    Maybe if your grandkids grow up in Baltimore. Otherwise, not so much. Although they could end up with names that should belong to porn stars, like Virginia’s Steele Stanwick.

    Check out the stats for participation growth at the high school level. The future is carrying a stick.

    @Corner Stone: I, fortunately, don’t have cable or satellite or any thing else resembling a wanton waste of money so I don’t get ESPN 8 though I miss not getting WRC, hasn’t been here for years. NASCAR is fast beginning to resemble he NFL what with all the “competition” yellows. Haven’t watched in years.

    @Allen:

    4 hours to get in what, at best, has 30 minutes of action.

    You can barely get to 30 minutes even if you count replays. Here’s a breakdown from a WSJ story from January 15, 2010:

    11 minutes: actual playing time
    17 minutes: replays
    67 minutes: players standing around
    75 minutes: commercials

    That’s not comprehensive, because it only adds up to 170 minutes. I’m not sure how long a typical NFL broadcast lasts, but it’s longer than that. So I guess the remainder of the time is announcers, sideline reporters, shots of the crowd, etc.
