The “William Gaines Memorial Election” Wednesday Open Thread

Well, the NFL Competition Committee did the expected and passed the automatic ejection (or “Burfict”) rule today. A quizzical second change was the addition of the touchback from a kick now being placed at the 25 instead of the 20, which is pretty much going to ensure placekickers try to aim for the 5 yard line.

I can, however, picture him smoking.

Dear God – the Rams are going to be on “Hard Knocks”. Cue the whistful homage to the midwestern kid moving to LA to make it big! Then, get ready for a whole day of Jeff Fisher being clumily accepted onto movie sets in exchange for sideline access. I can’t wait for all the Hollywood mustache comparisons.

In addition, the Rams will host a game in China in 2018, whose leaders will no doubt give Stan Kroenke new ideas about labour management & stadium policing.

Some scouts have compared Jared Goff to Jay Cutler. That’s just mean – he’s had all his shots,

Over at the MMQB, there’s a video of Peter King spending four minutes blowing Jerry Jones. Even with the sound off, I could tell he swallowed everything Jones had.

Speaking of Peter King, his favourite rapist is apparently getting a plea bargain to serve between 15-20 years. I guess it beats consecutive sentences, and he will be eligible to purchase admission to the Hall of Fame in 2031 at the earliest.

Sean Payton is staying with the Saints for 5 more years, so will be around to pick Drew Brees’ replacement.

Merchandise note – Mitchell & Ness released their “Best selling jersey by state” map – links here and here. I’ve got nothing to say about the list, but I do love their product.

Politics: I suppose it was inevitable that the wives eventually got dragged into it.

Strangely, they had no problems with Nancy Reagan.

First, this happened: (she is purdy)

Some PAC affiliated to Cruz sent this picture to Mormon followers on Instagram. I’m not exactly sure whom it besmirches more – Trump, or his wife – since they more-than-seem to imply to Mormon voters that voting for Cruz would keep both a political and actual whore out of the White House. But either way, it’s goal was to encourage people to vote for Cruz.

Trump, naturally, took all things in stride and…NOPE! It quickly degenerated into, “You took a shot at my wife, so I’m taking one at yours.”

I’m guessing he used that crack research team he had lying around after checking out OBUMMERS birth certificate was put to use trying to find dirt on anyone left opposing him competing against him in the race.

The best part is that Cruz can claim plausible deniability because it wasn’t his campaign but a group friendly to his campaign that put out the tweet. But do you really want to start a political dirty war with Donald Trump?

Random athletics: If you want to lose a good four minutes, please to enjoy this video on the changing nature of Wrestlemania entrances. Come for the nostalgia; stay for the evolution of the mullet.

Let me get this straight. Avocado toast is a thing that people will pay for. In a restaurant.

I can understand ordering things in a restaurant because a skilled chef will prepare it better than you can do at home. But avocado? On toast? Come on, if you can’t pull off a decent version of that at home, you might as well just quit at life.

TRUE LOVE IS TRULY DEAD YOU GUYS OH WELL I GUESS IT’S AUTOEROTIC ASPHYXIATION FOR ME

“According to In Touch, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, the cult’s two leaders, have decided to call it quits after birthing 70,000 children together.

The primary source of their relationship troubles shouldn’t surprise anyone: it’s Josh, the son of theirs who is currently in rehab for like, what is he in there for again? Some kind of addiction that isn’t drug-related, right? Sex addiction? Porn addiction? Whatever he’s there for (or not there for, depending on who you believe), ‘the handling of Josh’s return’ has made Michelle ‘speak up.’ Jim Bob wants to welcome their son back ‘with open arms,’ but she’s a little more hesitant—due to the fact that ‘some family members don’t want Josh around their children.’ Though they’ve fought before, sources say Michelle ‘isn’t giving in so easily this time…'”

Oh, and before you say, “Its not terrorism. Its a fictional cyborg race.” TNG did an episode on Terrorism (“The High Ground” S3-E12). It was thought provoking.

There was a thing on Deadspin (aka Hulk Hogan’s new cocaine and hooker fund) about Alex Rodriguez playing two more years. Dude is 27 bombs away from 714. He hit 33 last year. What the fuck are the Yankees going to do? Because there’s no way they let him become the AL home run king. Will they shut him down at 713? Will they double his salary so he’ll allow a trade to an NL team? This is the first interesting thing to happen in baseball since Perdro judo tossed Don Zimmer.

They’re totally stuck with him and will have to acknowledge him passing truest of the true Yankees Babe Ruth and I will laugh hysterically.

Senor Weaselo

It costs them $6 million if he passes Ruth. They’ll make that much in merch sales within 3 hours, in addition to the A-Rod 700 merch. Which they will peddle. I went to the game he hit 600, shirts were on the shelves as soon as the ball left the bat.

Sill Bimmons

Why would the touchback rule change encourage placekickers to aim for the 5-yard line again?

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

I think (assuming, mind you) that the idea is that the extra five yards for a touchback will push the cost/benefit calculus back in favor of “try to get them to return it- if you hang it high and give our gunners time to get down there, maybe we can pin them deep/cause a fumble/take the returner’s head off”

Sill Bimmons

Ah.

I was seeing a coffin-corner type situation, which would make no sense on KOs because of the illegal procedure penalty.

I still think that kickers are going to aim for TBs because of coaches’ risk-aversion and kickers wanting to add to the only measurable statistic they can accrue to show their proficiency on kickoffs.

Redshirt

They would kick the ball high into the air. That could cause the defenders to get closer to the returner and possibly force him to call a fair catch. He cannot let the ball go into the endzone because unlike a punt, it is a life ball. If it is recovered in the endzone by the kicking team, it is a very long onside kick recovery for a touchdown. They cannot let it go out of bounds though as that is still a penalty and ball at the 35 yard line. They would have to aim towards the center of the field.

I can’t believe they passed that idiotic 2x personal foul rule. Did the referees not already have the discretion to throw players out of games? Yes? Then fucking use it!

sunrisesunrise

At least they didn’t make it like soccer where they could carry over those penalties and earn suspensions like multiple yellow/red cards. Or would that be better? How does the AFL handle it?

Sill Bimmons

Onfield infractions considered to warrant a more severe penalty than a free kick are handled off-field by a league tribunal. Such incidents include deliberate or reckless acts of violence, such as striking, punching, tripping, kicking or endangering the head of an opponent, as well as misconduct such as abusing umpires or other players. Field umpires, boundary umpires and goal umpires are all permitted to report players for such infractions; in matches where there is video footage and where league rules permit, players may also be reported based on video evidence. For players who are found guilty of reportable offences, tribunals can issue fines or suspend players for a certain number of games.

Throughout Australia, there is a Player and Official Deregistration Policy, which allows players and officials with a poor tribunal record to be deregistered from playing football for life. As of 2011, this deregistration is automatically applied to any player or official who, since the age of 16, has been suspended for a cumulative total of 16 matches or more in any suburban, country or state league, or in the AFL, except that for the purpose of the cumulative total, suspensions in the AFL count only 50% of their value. Players may appeal for re-registration, but if successful a further suspension will result in deregistration without the right to a further appeal. The rule was first established in 2007, and is applied uniformly across all levels of football in Australia.”

Sensible. It would never work in the NFL.

Sill Bimmons

Not enough lawyers involved in the AFL rules-making process to fuck it up that badly yet.

Don’t worry. They’re coming to ruin the AFL too.

ballsofsteelandfury

No one gets kicked out in AFL, that I’ve seen, but a Match Review Panel goes over every game and imposes future match bans as appropriate. They also give the players the option to reduce the ban by pleading guilty early.
