Thursday Night Football Preseason: New England Patriots vs. New York Giants (NFL Network, 7:30 p.m.) — Speaking of football, I’ll be flying across country to Las Vegas on Friday for my fantasy football draft. I will try my damndest to ensure that this is the last time I mention fantasy football on Warming Glow because I know that very little annoys people who don’t play fantasy football more than other people talking about fantasy football.
Melissa & Joey (ABC Family, 8 p.m.) — Second season finale. The title to tonight’s episode is “Mel Marries Joe,” so I guess I’ve spoiled the whole damn thing for you. Bygones.
Oh Sit! (CW, 8 p.m.) — I guess I shouldn’t be surprised since this is The CW, but I really thought it was not out of the question that extreme musical chairs would be cancelled before the first episode finished airing. I was wrong. 1.3 million people watch this show, which is actually a good number for The CW.
Republican National Convention (ABC, NBC, CBS, 10 p.m.) — It is my understanding that, beginning in late September, the Romney ticket has decided that Paul Ryan will appear shirtless at all campaign events, and his body-fat percentage will be included in all campaign materials. The move will provide 98 percent of the closeted gay vote in November, just enough to allow Romney to edge out Obama in the general election.
Goon (Amazon Prime, Any Time) — Amazon Prime members can now watch Goon for free, and seriously, YOU HAVE TO. It’s one of the best hockey movies to come along in a very long time, and one hell of a rousingly great sports flick. It’s Rocky meets Slap Shot meets a mouth full of broken teeth and probably the cult hit of 2012. Trust me on this; Goon will rock your world.
LATE NIGHT LISTINGS — Michelle Obama is appearing on Letterman to steal some RNC thunder, Bill Maher will smug up Leno, Jeffrey Dean Morgan is on Ferguson, and Herman Cain is on The Daily Show.

Damn you Dustin for making me think it was Thursday.
Goon was a really good movie. I was surprised how much I liked it. I thought I would just make excuses for it because they make so few hockey movies.
I as well enjoyed Goon.
He got me too! Why is the show called Thursday Night Football on Wednesday? Also, not only did I love Goon, so did my wife, and she HATES sports movies. Hates ‘em.
Just watched Goon earlier today on Netflix streaming…it’s great! Might actually make the wife watch it.
Best Buy is having a sale. Buy 100 bucks worth of TV on DVD and get a 25 dollar gift certificate. I’d check that out over anything on TV now.
That’s a good deal.
I need some new coasters.
Futurama 1-hour season finale? No, I guess a Melissa Joan Hart reality show and some preseason football is better viewing.
Goon is one of the best sports movies I’ve seen in a while- just solid all around good movie. … and I realize that the horrifyingly annoying chick from The Newsroom is the love interest in Goon, so I guess she’s not all bad.
You shouldn’t refer to someone with Downs Syndrome as “horrifyingly annoying.”
Also on Netflix and Amazon steaming: PARKS AND REC season 4. Ron FUCKING Swanson > Goon.
I was under the impression that the GOP already had most of the self-loathing closeted gay vote wrapped up. “Self-loathing closeted gay” pretty much sums up about 87%* of the Republican Party. The remainder is comprised of racists and robber barons.
* statistics might be estimated and/or made up
That is horribly inaccurate and bigoted.
A great many of those Republicans are actually repressed BISEXUALS…..which is why they believe sexuality is a choice.
Ryan doesn’t get the gay vote because he basically promised America tonight that he wouldn’t fuck them in the ass.
“Wouldn’t”? Have you read his budget?
I liked how Ryan blamed Obama for the GM plant closure in his hometown, a closure that happened before Obama was even inaugurated.
“God, Obama sucks! He let Hitler and disco happen! BOOOOO!”

I’ll be watching my one guilty pleasure tonight: Big Brother. I think this has been the best manufactured drama BB has put on in several seasons.
GOON was solid but the thing that kept it together was Lieb Schreiber. Every scene that fucker was in was riveting. Often forget how underrated he is.
I love that guy. Been meaning to check out Goon, glad to hear it’s Netflixworthy.
