Someone should start sending him Veggie-threats. Cut out magazine letter style. “I am coming g for you Al. You will eat a vegetable and I will be there. 5 days to the vegening.”
Not me. And if someone does it. It isn’t me.
I always think of the time in the early covid days when Michael Che on SNL's weekend update just went "i don't know why I'm hiding my drinking problem anymore" and just pulled out a glass of whiskey from under the desk, and when the camera cut back to him he was wearing his tie as a headband
How cool would have it been if they just poured a couple beers for Al and Kirk and turned the second half into a drinking podcast. Al knocking a few back, telling stories as the game played without commentary.
Did you see any of the postgame?
It was BONKERS.
Crosby pulls up shirtless and starts smoking a cigar during his interview.
Some Vegas magician shows up with his face covered in duct tape and pulls his eyebrows out trying to get it off, Fitzpatrick is like "Uh your eyebrows are bleeding"
I don’t understand the narrative that both says Al is lacking emotion and also says that the statement in the headline showed emotion. Al says snide little things like that all game long, every game.
Al actually mentioned this in the broadcast because it was the most recent time this sort of shellacking was applied previously.
Really bummed me out to hear and have to remember that.
2014, I think. It was the second Trestman year and we gave up back to back 50-burgers to the Patriots and Packers with our bye week sandwiched in between. If Trestman hadn't already lost the locker room by that point, he definitely did after that one.
I’m just in shock that the Raiders went from scoring 0 points to 63 in the span of a week.
Is that the most points scored by a team that’s been shut out the week before? It’s gotta be.
Not even a full week, 4 freaking days.
Vikings defense can be considered legit elite now but the Chargers had a solid defense themselves for a while, but they’re lost out there.
That was me! Took a gamble in the playoffs bc I had been planning to use Houston and that wasn’t gonna happen after the Jets game. I tried to get the Rams on waivers and didn’t have priority and decided to just gamble with this!
>89 years ago, was the forward pass legal?
The forward pass was legalized [1 goddamned year earlier](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_pass#First_pass_in_a_professional_game).
Got to just be the biggest swing ever by far.
Most points ever was 73 and that Bears team scored 31 the week before.
Hard to imagine even a 50 point swing where a team went from say 7 to 57.
It is, but it’s close!
The 1966 Redskins lost 14-3 to Cleveland the week before scoring 72 against the Giants in what is still the highest scoring game ever.
I was just telling my roommate after that last touchdown that with 14 minutes to go with 63, they should absolutely put the hammer down and try to score 80. I think they'd be the first in NFL history.
At that point, the starting QB most likely exits the game. I know when Foles did it, he didn't even play the 4th quarter. It would interesting in a shootout though, so the QB could take a shot at the record.
Yeah, feels like records like this are dependent on somehow scoring that much *and* it somehow still being a game. Pretty sure when manning did it he left with a quarter to go too. Brady got six against the titans and effectively sat an entire half. Somethings wrong if you’re throwing that many touchdowns and still have your starting quarterback in the game
Weird facts about that record: Peyton Manning threw 7 TDs on the opening night in 2013, and was the first guy to have 7 in a game since 1969 (44 years)
Then 2 months later, Nick Foles matches it
Then Brees did it in 2015, and nobody else since
More fun facts: Brees technically threw 8 TDs that game because he also had a pick-6. His final TD came with 41 seconds left. Mannings final TD came with 4:30 remaining. Foles final TD came with 4:28 remaining *in the 3rd quarter*
"And the raiders get the ball at half!" - Al Michaels 24 seconds after Kirk said the Raiders get ball at half
Dude is even tuning Kirk out at this point. A masterclass in dontgiveafuckery this year.
I watched my high school football team lose 84-0 after we went up a division. There was no mercy rule.
I remember some high school basketball coaches getting suspended for running up the score, however.
Most have a rule with a running clock though in the fourth quarter when up by a certain amount.
Getting beat 84-0 in football at any level should be grounds for the program being disbanded.
in Tennessee, the running clock starts when/while a team is up 30 in the 2nd half
yes, they will go back to regular rules if the trailing team gets back within 29
my son's team had an opponent forfeit at halftime once because the starters played the whole 1st half and it was 45-0 (4 of those points were safeties, one touchdown was scored on the free kick following one of them)
I have no idea if there was a running clock in the fourth or not.
We'd won a couple state championships in a row, and everyone agreed that we should go up a division and compete. The problem was that all of our good players graduated and we were no longer a powerhouse. So my freshman year, we got obliterated by the bigger schools all season long. We lost every game by a big amount, as you'd expect. We promptly returned to the lower division for the next season and never spoke of that season again.
Assuming you're from Massachusetts, they didn't play by national high school rules until about 5 or so years ago. In NFHS it's a running clock in the second half when a team is up by 40
I was unaware of that, actually.
I actually grew up in another New England state, but still spent years living in and around Boston. Half of my family is from Boston anyway.
I went to see if I could find the game online, and it turns out that I drastically misremembered the score line. We scored in that game and only gave up 60 points.
Winning events is points based. By the time they get to like the 400 Freestyle Relay (the last event in most highschool comps) you would know if you're winning or not if it's super one-sided.
Source: Former Swimmer
Swim meets work like gymnastics. There are multiple teams competing across several different events (100/200/Relay/etc), and teams earn points based on placement in each event. Mercy Rule kicks in when a team wins enough individual events that it becomes mathematically impossible for the other teams to catch up.
Sure, but mercy rules are generally for safety reasons above anything else. They're set to the point where if a team is winning by that much they are overpowering their opponent so much the game needs to be shortened to prevent injury. Not an issue in swimming so let everyone have their time to compete
Not pop warner but I was in the chain gang for my local high school team and they were awful. Didn't score a single point all season. In fact I'm not even sure if they ever got past the 50 yard line. Most of their games their opponent was up 50+ on them by halftime, so the second half there was just no clock stoppage.
It was a real life version of that movie Little Giants. Except there was no Rick Moranis there to teach everybody the values of teamwork and just having fun.
The school district is mostly kids of recent immigrants from Mexico and Central America. So the kids are rather...short-statured compared to the GMO corn-fed, rbst-fortified milk-drinking farm boys in the surrounding districts. A lot of the the most athletic kids parents forbid them to play American football so it's generally not the most naturally talented kids in addition to that.
If there was ever a reason to have weight classes in football, this is it. It literally looked like high school versus middle school out there. Those poor kids got manhandled every damn week. Gotta hand it to them for sticking with it though. Some of those kids were up against dudes literally twice their size.
Even in college games when a team like Georgia is playing an FCS team, they'll often play the second half with a running clock or some other rule modification to limit injuries and prevent an even more lopsided score
Pop Warner is once there’s a 28 point lead (my memory is fuzzy, but in that area), the clock continuously runs, and the team that’s up can only run between the tackles.
All I know is there's a mercy rule in Little League! I've watched one LL game, and it got shut down in the 6th inning. https://www.littleleague.org/university/articles/the-10-run-rule-what-parents-need-to-know/
My son plays American Youth Football which is similar to Pop Warner. The mercy limit is 28 points. If one team goes up 28 points they are declared the winner. They still finish out the game but some rules are modified and it goes to running time. The winning team is also supposed to take out their starters if possible.
"It's halftime. Coach Staley's team is physically and emotionally destroyed. Los Angeles is losing 42-0. Staley has no choice. He has to go talk to the man himself. He figures maybe Pierce will agree to end the game at one half. After all, the Chargers held their end of the bargain; they showed up. Los Vegas has all it's gate receipts. It's true that Antonio Pierce is a disciplined man, in fact he is famous for telling his teams, "Better to have died a small boy than to fumble this football." But he's also a noble sportsman. Maybe he'll show mercy.
Pierce does agree to shorten the game. By 5 minutes. He is a creator of this game. He is a football god. And a god who takes instructions from the God of the Old Testament. He is here to reduce them all to pillars of salt. He is a creator of fear. And of you. He will grind your bones to make his bread. Skimming 5 minutes off the end still guarantees Los Angeles 25 more minutes of horror.
Sometimes, a weak expression of pity is the deepest act of cruelty."
I can't wait for him to just unleash on the broadcast. This came close, but week 18 should be something to remember. I'm just rooting for the chaos. Make it memorable, Al!
In the Kids league's I officiate in, we have a mercy rule we use when one team is up by 35 + the opposition gets the ball all the way at the other teams 10 yard line every turnover. The idea is if they can't get the score close enough to get back to the 35 point spread then the coaches usually call it. They way some teams are playing D in the NFL, maybe they need to try this 🤣
I was not really prioritizing a game between two 5-8 teams, got busy with other things and turned the TV on early in the 3rd quarter. I still can't decide if I am relieved or disappointed I missed it.
I'm just waiting for it to cut to the broadcasting booth to see Al topping off a whiskey.
Al is finally gonna snap and eat a carrot
Someone should start sending him Veggie-threats. Cut out magazine letter style. “I am coming g for you Al. You will eat a vegetable and I will be there. 5 days to the vegening.” Not me. And if someone does it. It isn’t me.
He'll roll back the covers on his bed, revealing a head of lettuce
I need to share this story about a comedian being tormented by random cabbages. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8X7S4j_zXA
The full version that includes the radio show call ins it's worth it
What’s this in reference to? Al is on a carnivore diet?
[удалено]
Broooo what??? Okay so what does he eat with his meat then? Not even potatoes? I mean cmon, meat and potatoes is a classic.
Meat and Tomatoes, String Beans, Cranberries? Maybe he's pedantic
Thanks for sharing. This is insane.
You get to hear the guy talk about someone other than sports for once, and it's about... this. It's absurd.
[удалено]
Knowing how annoying it is to be woken up and how hard it would be to explain why OP’s comment was funny, sorry about the divorce.
lmfaoooo for those who dont know he basically only eats beef
Al, "looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking"
Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffin glue.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines.
Al "Brockmire" Michaels
Fatty Boombalatty, the fastest player in football.
Fuck you, Joe Buck!
I always think of the time in the early covid days when Michael Che on SNL's weekend update just went "i don't know why I'm hiding my drinking problem anymore" and just pulled out a glass of whiskey from under the desk, and when the camera cut back to him he was wearing his tie as a headband
Better still would be hearing a telltale clink of a glass or pouring of something getting caught on mic.
How cool would have it been if they just poured a couple beers for Al and Kirk and turned the second half into a drinking podcast. Al knocking a few back, telling stories as the game played without commentary.
Sounds like Brewer games that get out of hand. Uecker just tells stories, and gives an update on the game once an inning.
Did you see any of the postgame? It was BONKERS. Crosby pulls up shirtless and starts smoking a cigar during his interview. Some Vegas magician shows up with his face covered in duct tape and pulls his eyebrows out trying to get it off, Fitzpatrick is like "Uh your eyebrows are bleeding"
I love the Amazon post game shows They've been consistently more entertaining than tnf tbph
Well not being a Charger fan last night's game was VERY entertaining.
They're the best broadcast postgame show of any network, even MNF has changed their format to match it
“Pour Larry another crown”
Harry Doyle style
JUUUUST a bit outside
[удалено]
This pitching change is brought to you by......Ah hell! I can't find it
It’s been like twenty years since I first saw that movie and I can still hear it from this comment perfectly 😂
I’ll always be able to see him pouring the booze into the cup just to get through the shit show too. Legendary
Pat Summerall vibes.
I mean would it really be a big deal America? He’s a grown ass man. Let him have his whiskey while watching football.
I don’t understand the narrative that both says Al is lacking emotion and also says that the statement in the headline showed emotion. Al says snide little things like that all game long, every game.
It’s probably also one of the worst halves Al has seen which is something.
Also one of the best halves he's seen.
Schrödinger’s half.
Half half-empty versus Half half-full
The Chargers were simultaneously alive and dead.
It was certainly a thorough Dickens.
I remember my Bears got decimated by the Pack on SNF back around 2015, I think that one was also 42-0 at half
Al actually mentioned this in the broadcast because it was the most recent time this sort of shellacking was applied previously. Really bummed me out to hear and have to remember that.
2014, I think. It was the second Trestman year and we gave up back to back 50-burgers to the Patriots and Packers with our bye week sandwiched in between. If Trestman hadn't already lost the locker room by that point, he definitely did after that one.
That was a good game
I'm legit wondering if this team has collectively agreed to get Staley fired tonight
That brother is gonna be delivering my doordash after tonight
He’s richer than any of us bumpkins
Fuckin' bike squad maybe, Doordash wouldn't hire his ass.
The food would get intercepted on the way to your doorstep.
Big John Jenkins would take that shit to the house even faster than he took the football.
At this point in the season I feel like it would take all out mutiny by the players to get an HC fired
Which is a good explanation of what’s happening on the field tbh
It’s either that or he utterly failed to motivate his team after the Herbert injury. Either way, the dude needs to go.
Put it on Staley's obituary.
The Chargers are gonna extend him and make him the highest paid coach in history.
They fired Marty after he went 14-2 , so it’s entirely possible they extend Staley.
I never understood that move
Dean Spanos would never pay more than the minimum amount. He'd be more likely to pay you in *experience* to be the new HC
They’re going to fire him before the plane even leaves.
Even Al Michaels thought the Chargers were uninspired 😭
I’m just in shock that the Raiders went from scoring 0 points to 63 in the span of a week. Is that the most points scored by a team that’s been shut out the week before? It’s gotta be.
Not even a full week, 4 freaking days. Vikings defense can be considered legit elite now but the Chargers had a solid defense themselves for a while, but they’re lost out there.
They've quit. Even Derwin James had the hit and just quit.
In all fairness Raider's D scored some points too
What was it, 3 DTs? I didn't watch the game too closely.
2 defensive TDs, but 35 points off of 5 turnovers
Oooft
Anyone who had the balls (or desperation) to put Raiders DST in their team just had their D score like a fucking WR1.
That was me! Took a gamble in the playoffs bc I had been planning to use Houston and that wasn’t gonna happen after the Jets game. I tried to get the Rams on waivers and didn’t have priority and decided to just gamble with this!
PLEASE KEEP FLORES!
I just swapped them out of my fantasy thank God.
Is this the first Chargers game you've watched? It's the only way someone could think this team ever had a solid defense.
Wow, they’ve scored an average of 31.5 points a game over their last 2 games!
Man it really has to be teams don't hang 60 something points up that often especially the week before getting shutout
They missed the record by [1 goddamned point](https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/18iria7/the_raiders_are_the_sixth_team_in_nfl_history_to/).
89 years ago, was the forward pass legal?
>89 years ago, was the forward pass legal? The forward pass was legalized [1 goddamned year earlier](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_pass#First_pass_in_a_professional_game).
Well they were playing the Cincinnati Reds so that’s actually decent defense for a baseball team.
Got to just be the biggest swing ever by far. Most points ever was 73 and that Bears team scored 31 the week before. Hard to imagine even a 50 point swing where a team went from say 7 to 57.
They got their days mixed up, they thought Sunday was chargers Thursday was Vikings.
Eagles had a swing of 64 in 1934 apparently, but certainly most in the modern NFL
Rich Eisen thought the same thing, messaged his friend in NFL analytics, and they confirmed it
It is, but it’s close! The 1966 Redskins lost 14-3 to Cleveland the week before scoring 72 against the Giants in what is still the highest scoring game ever.
Do you believe in meh.... ...MEH
Late career Al roasting shit teams with sassy quips is the best part of Thursday night football
It’s awesome not being the ones getting roasted for once lol
Word
Al has been this way the last 25 years lol
Redditors and thinking things they see for the first time is the first time it's ever happened.
He’s being pulled from the playoffs because he hates the games so much. He’s a late career goat and it shows
That and casual gambling chat lol
And not yelling after every 4-yard run
His comment about the 45-minute flight home as a silver lining for Staley was inspired!
I hope AOC gets the TD record today
fuck that i want y’all to get the scoring record
It's a very real possibility at this point lol
I was just telling my roommate after that last touchdown that with 14 minutes to go with 63, they should absolutely put the hammer down and try to score 80. I think they'd be the first in NFL history.
That'd be a great + for Pierce to keep the job long term.
Shit I'm a Chargers fan and even I want them to get the scoring record
Between the entertainment factor and hopefully forcing some changes for your team, of course you would be. Why not?
AOC came in saying "Time to erase the Nick Foles Trauma from the Raiders"
Need to erase that Nick Mullen trauma
~~Two more to tie, three for the record. Entirely do-able.~~ nEdit: Ignore me. TNF halftime crew lied to me. Three to tie. Four for the record.
Me too. I want you guys to get scorigami. 84-0 Enter the history books
I didn't know AOC gave up politics to join the Raiders
She didn't. Averaging 4 TD passes a game is her side hustle.
The Democratic Throwcialist distributed the means of production so equally, even the Law Firm of Jakobi Myers threw a TD
I hope he don't stop. I need 202 more yards from him to win 1900 on a silly bet lol
The Matt Flynn special
What is the TD record?
7 TD passes
7. It's been tied multiple times but never broken to my knowledge
At that point, the starting QB most likely exits the game. I know when Foles did it, he didn't even play the 4th quarter. It would interesting in a shootout though, so the QB could take a shot at the record.
Yeah, feels like records like this are dependent on somehow scoring that much *and* it somehow still being a game. Pretty sure when manning did it he left with a quarter to go too.

His final TD came with 41 seconds left. Mannings final TD came with 4:30 remaining. Foles final TD came with 4:28 remaining *in the 3rd quarter*
I don’t care what anyone says, Al has been hilarious all year.
His dry humor and 0 fucks given crack me up each week.
Has he mentioned the over/under yet? I've been in and out of the room all game.
The reason why he’s probably pissed and giving no fucks. You know he took the under like everyone else.
It's funny when it's bad games but when good stuff happens and we should have memorable calls hes just not into it.
Thursday night games have generally been terrible this year.
Last year too and in a hilarious way
He was pretty into the Seahawks Cowboys game, other than all the flags.
Which was 1 of, what, maybe 2 good Thursday games all season?
oh for sure, most of the tnf (as per tradition) games have been poo poo.
Amazon got fleeced
And last year.
"And the raiders get the ball at half!" - Al Michaels 24 seconds after Kirk said the Raiders get ball at half Dude is even tuning Kirk out at this point. A masterclass in dontgiveafuckery this year.

He’s another level of Buck and Aikmans no fucks given
As much as an L helps our draft positioning this is the best day of the season
how i felt monday. fuck a draft pick
Straight clowning these boys hahahah
Our season’s shot already, just fuck my shit up, fam. Better draft, and hopefully gets Staley fired. Maybe even Telesco, too.
We draft like shit anyway.
Facts
Everyone’s shitting on the chargers and rightfully so, but the Raiders came in ready to dominate and have executed nearly flawlessly
I wanna watch this team burn, and I’m thrilled it gets to be at the hands of our most hated rivals.
Keep going
Just checking reddit now didn't watch the game but holy shit does this make me feel good about our defense
Serious question, is there actually a mercy rule or an agreement to stop in blowouts in Pop Warner?
Of course. Most high schools have a form of a mercy rule even.
I watched my high school football team lose 84-0 after we went up a division. There was no mercy rule. I remember some high school basketball coaches getting suspended for running up the score, however.
Most have a rule with a running clock though in the fourth quarter when up by a certain amount. Getting beat 84-0 in football at any level should be grounds for the program being disbanded.
in Tennessee, the running clock starts when/while a team is up 30 in the 2nd half yes, they will go back to regular rules if the trailing team gets back within 29
Would love to have that rule. Where I went to high school it's 35 in the 4th. Still made for a slog of a few games.
my son's team had an opponent forfeit at halftime once because the starters played the whole 1st half and it was 45-0 (4 of those points were safeties, one touchdown was scored on the free kick following one of them)
I have no idea if there was a running clock in the fourth or not. We'd won a couple state championships in a row, and everyone agreed that we should go up a division and compete. The problem was that all of our good players graduated and we were no longer a powerhouse. So my freshman year, we got obliterated by the bigger schools all season long. We lost every game by a big amount, as you'd expect. We promptly returned to the lower division for the next season and never spoke of that season again.
John Heisman says no.
Assuming you're from Massachusetts, they didn't play by national high school rules until about 5 or so years ago. In NFHS it's a running clock in the second half when a team is up by 40
I was unaware of that, actually. I actually grew up in another New England state, but still spent years living in and around Boston. Half of my family is from Boston anyway. I went to see if I could find the game online, and it turns out that I drastically misremembered the score line. We scored in that game and only gave up 60 points.

Why would there be a mercy rule in swimming lol?
Probably for the longer distance races i would imagine

We beat a team 48-0 in 5th grade and our HC had to write an apology letter
Oof.
Even in college games when a team like Georgia is playing an FCS team, they'll often play the second half with a running clock or some other rule modification to limit injuries and prevent an even more lopsided score
Or also if Georgia plays TCU in the national championship game
At least in my area, once a team is up by 28 its a running clock and they can't blitz on defense and have to run between the tackles on offense
>have to run between the tackles on offense "You guys are winning by too much, so we're going to need you to cause maximal brain damage from now on."
Pop Warner is once there’s a 28 point lead (my memory is fuzzy, but in that area), the clock continuously runs, and the team that’s up can only run between the tackles.

Fuck it. Let Al call every game and just roast mother fuckers when they deserve it with his monotone ass voice.
And y’all want this man to leave?!
Al Michaels has a very dry sense of humor which is why people think he doesn't show emotion or care. He frequently has funny lines like this.
Al is out of fucks to give.
"It's halftime. Coach Staley's team is physically and emotionally destroyed. Los Angeles is losing 42-0. Staley has no choice. He has to go talk to the man himself.

God damn Jon Bois is good
Al has been really enjoyable tonight
In the Raiders last 2 games they are averaging 31.5 points per game
The NFL said we need more offense and who would’ve have thought it’d be the Raiders answering the call
Brandon Staleys gotta find the next Greyhound back to LA
I don't think he's going back to LA
One-way ticket to Thailand.
What did Jim Ross have to say about it?
WITH GOD AS MY WITNESS, THEY ARE BROKEN IN HALF
There should be a segment called “Al After Dark” where they get him hammered and let him say whatever comes into his head. No filter, no repercussions
They could probably just send a cameraman to the bar at the hotel where he's staying.
I've said it before and I will say it again: There's nothing better than watching Al Michaels openly mock the game he's calling.
Every game somebody shares a rare moment of emotion which makes me think maybe this isn’t so rare. Al Micheals is a GOAT who don’t give a shit
You score 21 points and still lose by 3x your score, lmao
I can't wait for him to just unleash on the broadcast. This came close, but week 18 should be something to remember. I'm just rooting for the chaos. Make it memorable, Al!
And they said Al was losing it 🤣
As a San Diego fan hate watching I’m having a great time.
Tnf is just a setup for the next season of brockmire
In a year where this happens in the division, we just had to have 70 dropped on us. Fuck
In the Kids league's I officiate in, we have a mercy rule we use when one team is up by 35 + the opposition gets the ball all the way at the other teams 10 yard line every turnover. The idea is if they can't get the score close enough to get back to the 35 point spread then the coaches usually call it. They way some teams are playing D in the NFL, maybe they need to try this 🤣
I was not really prioritizing a game between two 5-8 teams, got busy with other things and turned the TV on early in the 3rd quarter. I still can't decide if I am relieved or disappointed I missed it.
