Your “It’s Tuesday; What Now, Cleveland?” Open Thread

Title chosen because Big Daddy Drew has an excellent Funbag! response to a question about how Cleveland can avoid becoming Boston.

Win another, or you’re just Trent Dilfer.

NFL News:

  • Joe Flacco says the hardest part of his ACL recovery is the mental aspect. That doesn’t sound like a elite quarterback talking.
  • Marquise Goodwin of the Bills has Olympic trials in the long jump coming. He has the full support of Rex Ryan, probably because Rex misunderstood what Goodwin meant by “28 feet”.
  • Alabama junior Cam Robinson got the “insufficient evidence” tag attached to his offseason arrest in Louisiana, so expect a new Crimson-colored wing to be added to the Monroe, Louisiana courthouse very soon.
    • this comes on the heels of the admission by the DA that he let them off easy because they play football and he didn’t want to ruin their lives. Nice to see the Notre Dame excuse used in a situation not involving rape.
  • What the Hell, Davone Bess?
  • In the “I don’t think so” department, Matt Stafford thinks it’ll be harder for opposing teams without Megatron around. Losing what you call a “once in a lifetime receiver” tends to make life easier for opposing teams, because none of the other guys know how to bail you out.

Finally, the guy who owns this jersey says he’s going to retire it, thanks to the Cavs victory. Now that there’s been a success, he figures it’s time to stop dwelling in the past. “It’s time to let go of all that negative energy”, said a man on his first step towards becoming a Masshole.


In a couple of days, the British referendum on leaving the EU happens. As a Canadian, I have passing interest because it’s all over the damned news. You heard about the passions at play, because of that MP who was assassinated in her home riding by a nativist. It has even divided the political parties, pitting Tory against Tory & Labour against Labour.

Beyond the potential economic impact – the Pound has fluctuated wildly in the last two weeks; trade deals would have to be renegotiated – comes the national impact of the vote. A good number of the Scottish relatives have said they would want Scotland to have another referendum if Britain votes to leave, because Scotland wants to stay in the EU.

Here are some primers on what the stakes are:

Here’s the official question:

“Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?”

Given, as a Canadian, I’m used to Quebec sovereignty questions that border on the ludicrously ambiguous, I’m delighted that it’s a simple and direct choice for people.


Tonight’s sports:

Copa: USA vs Argentina – 9:00 – NRG Stadium, Houston

The victor gets the winner of Colombia – Chile on June 26 at MetLife Stadium. The loser gets to play for third place in Glendale on June 25th. SEEMS ABOUT RIGHT!

Coke’s new catch phrase is “Taste the feeling.”

There is so much wrong with that phase, I don’t even know where to begin.

‘MURIKA!

Unsurprised

People who use “butt hurt” are like people who use “man card” — fucking animals.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

What? Butthurt perfectly describes a Pats fan after any call that goes against their team. It’s a perfect term.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Also really comfortable while getting beaten by your classmates.

How considerate of Argentina to only score 4 on USTMNT.

Oh yes, that’s part of the new Trump Home Collection.

Porky Prime

Anyone see Zootopia? I caught a few minutes at the dentists office and surprisingly it seemed to have a theme of racism and police profiling disguised as cutesy talking animals. Was that a correct assessment?

He seems like a Hell of a tipper, though.

Racist cartoons? I think your just pc police.

Now I be done seen bout everthang.

JerBear50

Ever notice that they went back and re-colored the woman’s legs on all the Tom and Jerry cartoons? Same voice but white legs, so I guess that makes it better.

Wakezilla

Pretty much. It was a good film, too.

I love these talking heads acting like there was some magical line up that Jurgen could create, some fantastic speech he could deliver, and somehow…the entire Argentinian team would just roll over.

Porky Prime

Jurgen’s heart wasn’t in it anyway, since his grandfather was cloned there.

Overheard at the bar: “Slavery is a brutal brutal institution.”

Way to take a tough stand, dude.

JustStopDude

I actually worked with a programmer that tried to argue that slavery was not that bad compared to the post Civil War reconstruction chaos at lunch once.

I told the dude that if I ever saw him outside of work, we were going to have a situation.

SonOfSpam

Like a gay sex hookup thing?

JustStopDude

More like I was going to break a hand on his face.

SonOfSpam

Can’t it be both?

Also, yeah, the guy needs a beating.

JustStopDude

We are talking about an overweight, neckbearded, shithead that would spend lunch time talking about libertarian shit.

JerBear50

Something tells me if you’d kept listening, that statement would have continued with “, but…” instead of ending with a period.

So apparently the Ticketmaster free tickets has zero, count ’em, zero concerts in NYC. That sounds about right.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

They were making fun of it on @midnight. Also apparently you can get almost any concert that you’d never go to even if paid to do so. But hey; at least none of them are in your area. Maybe the ripoff judgement against them should of had a bit better wording.

Porky Prime

There was a $20 ticket special for New Mexico shows with Black Sabbath all over the ad and of course, no goddamn tickets.

Sharknado 2 was surprisingly actually kinda good. Sharknado 3, not so much.

LIES Each Sharknado is better than the previous one!
