Your “Wilde Wilde Life” Thursday Evening Open Thread

Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes. – Oscar Wilde


NFL Notes:

  • Someone must have broken into Archie’s ‘juice’ cupboard, because Eli declares the Giants are “definitely” a playoff team in 2016.
  • The NFL released its roster of officials for the 2016 season. Among the ‘highlights’:
    • there are 124 officials total
    • all 17 refs are back, including 28-year veteran Walt Coleman.
    • one retired – rumoured to be Linesman George Hayward
    • two former players work as officials
      • Steve Freeman, who is on Jeff Triplette’s crew
      • Phil McKinnely, who is on Bill Vinovich’s crew
    • Sarah Thomas remains the only woman official
    • finally, as previously reported, due to massive fuckup-ery, Pete Morelli is getting an entirely new crew.
  • ESPN tried to parse out the new “catch rule”. Clear as mud!
  • Brett Favre referred to Derek Carr as “more polished” than he was at that age. But he needs to up his dick-pic game if he wants to be considered “elite”.

Finally, the Top-10 of the Top-100 Players was released last night. No great surprise that Cam was #1.


Only eighteen days until training camps open. 18.

A Canadian man-child of indeterminate age, he stays young by selling alcohol at sporting events and yelling at the patrons he serves. Their rage nourishes his soul, and their tips pay for his numerous trips to various sporting events.

Good lord, there’s a mountain of shit of misinformation already about the shootings. And fuck the media for implying this is a civil war and urban warfare.
