Your Sunday NFL Open Thread
Here is your designated spot to yak it up about all things football. For instance, you can talk about the myriad ways the Browns will piss away a two score lead to the Giants. Just an example....
Your Division Series Open Thread
Ai! Somehow this disappeared, no? There were comments, there was yakking—I'm very sorry. Won't happen again. As I said before—it's the A's in Detroit to face Verlander (who has already given up a run) and then Cueto vs. Cain in San Francisco at 9:37 p.m. We'll link back. Enjoy the games!...
Your College Football Open Thread
Hey, they didn't save all the good stuff for the night games this week. The Big 12 has a Big Afternoon coming up, highlighted by Kansas at Kansas State (a grudge match made all the better by Charlie Weis taking impotent shots at the KU student newspaper) and Oklahoma at Texas Tech. At 12, Northweste...
Your Monday Night Football Open Thread
Tonight the Cowboys host the Bears. Romo. Cutler. Other guys. At the end of the night, one of these teams will be tied for first in their respective division. It's gonna be so sweet. In less-sweet news, the Cowboys and Tony Romo have tabled contract extension talks until the offseason. Nobody seems ...
Your Sunday Night Football Open Thread
Tonight, we've got the Giants and Eagles. It's another important divisional game and we've got two 2-1 teams. Right now there is a three-way tie for first place in the NFC East and no matter what happens there will be a non-Dallas Cowboys team in first place at the end of the night. So that's good. ...
Your NFL Sunday Open Thread
Here is where anybody who's anybody will be discussing the return of the real referees. Oh and you can talk about the actual football games, too, I suppose....
Your College Football Open Thread
Our game of the morning is probably Baylor at West Virginia, though our shame expert (aren't we all, in some sense, shame experts?) told us to be on the lookout for a potential "DOUBLE trap game" in the N.C. State vs. U. of Miami game. Also look out for Penn State at Illinois, because Illinois may h...
Green Bay Packers At Seattle Seahawks: Your Monday Night Football Open Thread
The Packers visit the Seahawks this evening and, honestly, all I'm hoping for is to see just how far we can take this rotten officiating. The Seattle crowd, of course, is responsible for letting us all know, the one or two times a year they are a game we all actually watch, which team leads the lea...
NFL Sunday Open Thread
Your open thread is here and we will be linking back to it throughout the day for your convenience. Early topics include Tony Romo and Mark Sanchez interceptions already and 73-yard wildcat touchdowns thrown by people not named Tim Tebow....
Your College Football Open Thread
Early games—I don't know, maybe Virginia at TCU has potential? West Virginia will probably curb stomp Maryland and that could be fun. Don't forget Northwestern Oklahoma State at UT-San Antionio, which you can watch on Nowhere via your handheld Nothing, at 2 p.m....
THIS GUY Is Back On Monday Night Football
If you watched any of ESPN's pre-game extravaganza you know that Jon Gruden is positively jacked up for this game. And why shouldn't he be? Peyton Manning is back on Monday Night Football! Woo! Yeah! Fist pumps all around....
Your Belated Week Two NFL Open Thread
Whoops! Hope you didn't have any thoughts during the first, oh, 80 minutes football this weekend. Luckily the games are flying fast and furious, so everyone was probably too discombobulated to think of anything witty. Right? Yak here and we'll link back throughout the day. Here's the best gif ever, ...
Your College Football Open Thread
Early afternoon: Florida State might (but probably doesn't) have a game on its hands in Tallahassee with Wake Forest coming in. That's practically it until things get kind of hectic in the later afternoon, with Alabama probably crushing Arkansas and taking us into a very good slate of night games. M...
Your Monday Night Football Doubleheader Open Thread
Getting under way shortly on ESPN, it's the Bengals and the Ravens. Possible topics of discussion: is Baltimore ready to let it fly with Joe Flacco? How does Marvin Lewis still have a job? Public viewings at football stadiums and wakes in general: weird, or weirdest?...
Your College Football Open Thread
A pretty light slate of early games, so you have plenty of time to get drunk and overly optimistic before the real action starts. Things get good in the early afternoon. Full schedule, with TV coverage, right here. We'll link back to this yak throughout the day, so all yakking can go in the same pla...
Your College Football Open Thread
Watching college football? Wanna yak about it? This here's the place. Notre Dame vs. Navy is already happening (because it's in Dublin, Ireland) and being psychotically danced at, but the rest of today's full slate of college football is still before us. Full schedule, with TV coverage included, rig...
Your Home Run Derby Open Thread
Do you want to know the terrifying truth, and see All-Stars sock a few dingers? The Home Run Derby is on ESPN now, right now, and it's going to be Bermanly unbearable, and also fun to watch because it's fricking home runs, you Communist. Matt Kemp captains the Senior Circuit, Robinson Cano the Arcad...
Your Sunday Open Thread Smorgasbord
We've got baseball, Spain-Italy in the Euro 2012 Final at 2:45 p.m., Golf at 3:00 p.m., Nascar and more baseball. If I left anything out, it is OFF LIMITS and you are prohibited by law from discussing it. If that's a problem, contact my lawyer, but he's busy handling a blackmail case, so leave a me...
Your Saturday Afternoon Open Thread Smorgasbord
We've got "The Fortnight," baseball, some Nascar and soggy golf if that's your cup of tea. Let's discuss!...
