Your “Hump Day Brings Us Closer To FOOTBAW!” Wednesday Open Thread

[edited to add banner pic and CFL game info]

NFL News:

• Myles Jack has been moved up to first team reps at Jags camp.
• Leon Hall is getting interest from the Bengals and Giants, both of whom need additional help on the corner.
• Donovan McNabb would like you to know he has views on the current state of Eagles quarterbacking. VIEWS!
• Joey Bosa & the Chargers – still not talking.
• The Bennett brothers? Talking lots. Good stuff too.
  • My favourite?
    • Brock Osweiler
      • Michael: “I’ve got more sacks than he’s got touchdowns.”
      • Martellus: “I’ve caught more balls than he’s completed.”
• Jordy Nelson says Jordy Nelson is doing fine. Why would you question Jordy Nelson about Jordy Nelson’s knee, asks Jordy Nelson.
• The Dog Show
  • Good PUP: Darrelle Revis returned to limited practice
  • Bad PUP: Alshon Jeffrey & Danny Trevathan – day-to-day
• Stolen from the next Crimebeat!
  • Brandon Browner – no charges for assaulting his girlfriend’s father
  • Demaryius Thomas – President Obama commuted the rest of his grandmother’s sentence for drug trafficking.
    • Barry O has now freed two generations of Thomas women in consecutive years. WILL THAT HELP HILLARY IN COLORADO?!

Special Cowboys Schadenfreude Update:

• Ezekiel Elliot has a tender hammy, and will “miss some time”.
• Kellen Moore has a broken ankle, and could miss a lot of time because they had to cut him open to fix it.
  • Here’s the money quote:
    • “It’s a devastating blow for Moore, who has overcome a lack of physical gifts to survive five seasons in the NFL.”
  • That’s just mean; he’s not Tebow, for fuck’s sake.
• Thus, the Cowboys have decided – 24 hours after saying they had no interest – to kick the tires on Nick Foles. Wither Kyle Orton?!

Even the Hall of Fame thinks little of the Jets.

The Brett Favre locker on display at the Hall prior to enshrinement weekend contains a Packers & Vikings jersey, but no sign of the one year he spent in the Meadowlands. I’d like to think Jenn Sterger took it as compensation.
