Thursday Night Open Thread

Okay so the Chargers-49ers game tonight only matters to myself. You should still watch because this game actually has playoff implications. Gut feeling, the Chargers win big tonight. The 49ers are too inconsistent to play well in back-to-back weeks.

Now here's something off-topic that made me laugh. The Chicago White Sox have Ozzie Guillen selling ticket packages in front of a fireplace in a Christmas theme style of commercial. Luckily for us Deadspin found the outtakes from the commercial. In true Ozzie fashion this video makes you laugh and laugh. He even tries to sell you his nipples or something. And with that I leave you with this, enjoy whatever game you're watching, leave comments, and don't be a troll.

  2. I don't get the NFL Network, so I'm stuck listening to the game on the radio.

  3. "That's being physical with an F."-Niners radio announcer Gary Plummer.

  4. This lapper is really a "dagger in the side," like Bob Papa described the San Diego special teams.

    Keith, the NFL-N game isn't on a local channel?

  5. @RJBO: It is in the Bay Area, but not in Sacramento.

  6. Alex Smith should really trademark the over-the-head, impossible-to-catch screen pass. He's perfected them.

    Lucky you........

    An aside on the Ozzie video: I'm almost to the point that I'd rather read a blog that has its info stolen by hackers than regurgitating a philosophy about the need for a college playoff every 3rd post. #DeadspinVsTheBigLead

  9. @RJBO: I barely read to The Big Lead anymore.

  10. Mike Tolbert's not gonna try to tackle anyone without a helmet again...

  11. Been meaning to ask RJBO, do you want an open thread for the Rome Show Year in Review?

  12. Millen on Anthony Dixon: "He's a big guy from the waist down." #outofcontext

    ReplyDelete
  13. I might not be around, Keith. I'll let you know.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Will do, Keith.

    Theismann: "I like the poise of Alex Smith."

  15. Great challenge by Norv. Smith's knee was down before he scored.

    ReplyDelete
  16. The Niners season in a nutshell.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Millen on the 4th & goal stop: "Dixon's a big man, Siler is bigger." #Don'tLookDownInTheMen'sUrinals

    ReplyDelete
  18. I'm about ready to take Millen to the blood bank and tell him "Time to Die!"

  19. Niners are imploding faster than Wikileaks

    ReplyDelete
  20. Typical 49ers. Inconsistent all season long.

    ReplyDelete
  21. "It looks like a Q-tip dipped in tar" Theismann...yikes

    ReplyDelete
  22. Theismann on Willis' club: "Looks like a Q-Tip that was dipped in tar."

    ReplyDelete
  23. Why does Mike Singletary have the dark shades on? If it's a Tony Sparano-like story, I'll retract the question.

    ReplyDelete
  24. @RJBO: Singletary thinks he's a poker player at Caesars Palace

    ReplyDelete
  25. Just seems odd to see him wearing his sunglasses at night, he wears his sunglasses at night.

    ReplyDelete
  26. The Niners winning this game would make the NFC West interesting.....

    ReplyDelete
  27. @Justin: The sad thing is, the Niners could still win the NFC West if they lose this game.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Niners catch a huge break that Weddle is out of bounds as he recovers the fumble

    ReplyDelete
  29. The Tru Warier approves of that hair, Antonio Garay.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Pierre McGuire > Leafs announcers #reallylowbar

    ReplyDelete
  31. Cue the fail horn. Brooks just dropped a sure pick

    ReplyDelete
  32. Bolts in FG range because of a "late hit out of bounds"

    ReplyDelete
  33. I just saw video of the Seahawks-Niners game last week with Fox's music. Words can't begin to describe how terrible it is.

    ReplyDelete
  34. @Justin Adding T-hom/Billick made it worst and comical

    ReplyDelete
  35. The NFL-N guys had to find a stat that included Joe Theismann.

    Now if only they used a "winless seasons in the NFL" graphic, they could include Millen on the fun. #HadTo

    ReplyDelete
  36. @ Keith: The Arizona Cardinals are not even mathematically eliminated yet......

    ReplyDelete
  37. 100% agreed on the music, Justin. A live game is not like SportsCenter running highlights. Very intrusive.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Game Over. I'm going to a bar to drink the night away. Adios fellas.

    ReplyDelete
  39. See ya, Keith.

    At least Cal has a good Women's Volleyball team....

    ReplyDelete
  40. I don't blame you, Keith. Enjoy your night.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Kind of like how Michigan has a good soccer team? Sigh...........

    ReplyDelete
  42. Cal was at least beating U$C when I stopped on the game on the Deuce. #10SecondsOfChickVolleyball

    ReplyDelete
  43. Bolts might be looking at back to back shutouts

    ReplyDelete
  44. Alex Smith, keep your chin up. At least Joe Theismann has your back.

    ReplyDelete
  45. A facemask wipes out an 85 yard Ginn kickoff return for TD. Good God.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Cal will face Penn State in the Women's Volleyball Finals on Saturday after the 3-0 dusting of U$C. #WhyDidIWatchThat?

    ReplyDelete
  47. @ RJBO: Because the NFL game is a complete stinker?
