Thursday Night Football Open Thread

The Raiders and Chargers are playing on the NFL Network. Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech are playing on ESPN. Case Kennum is about to pass for over 1,000 yards in a game against Tulane on CBS Sportsnet. So enjoy whatever game you're watching, leave comments, and don't be a troll.

    Too bad ESPN finally gets a watchable Thursday Night game and it's versus an NFL game....

    An aside: I'm calling shenanigans on this Mickey Redmond Soundboard from Fox Sports Detroit. First...he actually got an award for his broadcasting? Second, only one grumble about the refs???

    "Protect the field goal," Mike Mayock? Chargers still could have kicked a 37-yard field goal from where they were backed up to.

    Mayock: "Mike Mitchell gave me the finger to say 'Come here, pal. I want to talk to you.' He didn't like what I had to say when he was drafted."
    Nessler: "I'm glad he said 'He wanted to talk to you.' Didn't know which finger he gave."

    Why did I expect more out of the Chargers tonight? Was their offensive output on Sunday only because of the leaky Packers D?

    Beamer's been in Blackburg forever. Hell, even Bud Foster has been a coach there since 1987.

    My school is hosting the Division II Field Hockey Final Four and National Championship game this Friday and Sunday, respectively. The games are being streamed on NCAA.com and yes, we are playing in it as well. That the stadium about a quarter of a mile from my apartment should make the scenes outside my apartment very fun to say the least.

    Too bad I'll be in class when we play on Friday and the Eagles are on the same time as the national championship game. I might have attended my first ever field hockey game. Provided of course I took time to learn the rules.

    Agreed on Pat Haden, Keith. He decided to go and clean up what I used to call a "Chernobyl" of a program. It's merely a "Three Mile Island" (#SimpsonsReference) compared to recent events.
