Monday Night Football: Open Thread (Chargers v. Jaguars)

Matt Ryan reacts to the news of who's playing on Monday Night Football this evening.

If ever ESPN really wanted to push for flex scheduling to apply to Monday Night Football, tonight's contest between the 4-7 San Diego Chargers and the 3-8 Jacksonville Jaguars could be Exhibit "A."

Nevertheless, there are sizable fantasy football implications in tonight's tilt, so many of us will tune in anyway. If you're one of those who just can't get enough football, no matter who's playing, this is your open thread.

Back when I lived in Houston, I had an old male cat and my sister had a female.

This female cat had only recently started going into heat and one morning I came downstairs and saw my cat, which was three times the size of the other, trying to get it on with her.

It was one of the most pathetic sights I had ever seen, he had no idea what he was doing, he didn’t have any Marvin Gaye playing, total amateur.

Dual wielding has really cool animations

and the Thieves Guild quest line gives you some badass-looking armor. Well, so does the Dark Brotherhood, and all their missions are really fun anyway. Assassinate people? Don’t mind if I do! One thing I am pissed at myself about is that I didn’t realize that dragon bones and scales were used to make top tier armor, so I sold a bunch of them. Now that I have 100 smithing I am actively hunting dragons so I can get some damn dragon armor.

Have you gotten many/all the houses? The Markarth one is really cool.

Shit, you can do that?

I’ve been selling them all off. I’m going to save some, though I hear when you advance in the quest line, more dragons show up. Like, every 5 minutes.

97 yards on 4 catches with a drop that would have pushed him over 100 means he didn't look good?

AJ never was a guy that was going to explode past CB’s. A lot of his deep catches I’ve seen him make over the past few years are like the one he made Sunday.

Besides he missed 6 games with a hammy injury so Sunday was a pretty good day for him especially with a rookie throwing to him.

Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.

by Ethan Matz on Dec 5, 2011 11:37 PM CST up reply actions  

He showed me some seperation

When his feet separated from the ground on one of his catches. I mean did you see how high he got? He might have felt it before the injury happened again but early on he was good.
