Your “What’s Staubach Doing These Days?” Thursday Open Thread

Nuts & Bolts can go fuck themselves!

Assorted NFL Bits & Bites:

  • Matt Forte is likely out for at least one of the Jets’ preseason games.
    • Pfft – wake me when he starts missing regular season games and I have to adjust my lineup.
  • Darrelle Revis is open to moving to safety from corner if either injury or team need requires.
    • Makes sense. I just don’t think he fits the requirement for the number of children a Jets corner is expected to have.
  • Making that franchise tag look appropriate is Alshon Jeffrey, who missed practice today due to a hamstring injury.
  • PFT says Jim Caldwell doesn’t have to make the playoffs in order to save his job. Wayne Fontes wants to know what the deal is?
  • Michael Bennett was kicked out of practice for fighting with the O-line & had to be restrained by Cliff Avril of all people.
    • Pete Carroll called it “passion…that crossed a line.” BUT COULD IT MELT STEEL?!

Legal briefs:

  • Atlanta waived Torrey Smith Green after learning of four (4!) sexual assault allegations dating from his time at Utah State in 2015. [edited to reflect correcting name]
    • Owner with-no-more-fucks-to-give Arthur Blank released a statement, saying, “We don’t want anybody connected to the organization who has those kinds of accusations around them.”
  • Roger Goodell’s balls might appear a bit bigger today, after the 8th Circuit court ruled in his favour over his handling of the Adrian Peterson case.

Finally, Kyle Shanahan picked off Matt Ryan at Falcons camp.

That’s…not good.


The first Coaches Poll is out, and – surprise, surprise – Alabama is ranked #1. You can tell it’s horseshit because Notre Dame is in the Top-10, and Baylor is ranked 21. Expect Jim Harbaugh to have something to say about Michigan at #8.

Tonight’s sports & entertainment:

  • CFL: ESPN2; TSN
    • BC at Montreal – 7:00
    • Saskatchewan at Calgary – 10:00
  • Battlebots – 8:00 (ABC)
  • Olympics 2016: Men’s soccer
    • Sweden vs. Colombia – 6:00 – USA
    • Fiji vs. South Korea – 7:00 – NBCSN

With Kellen Moore hurt and Dak Prescott nowhere near ready, the Cowboys need a backup quarterback. With Nick Foles having signed with the Chiefs Thursday morning, nfl.com has a list of actual legitimate candidates, with Josh McCown leading the list that also includes Mike Glennon, TJ Yates, and Michael Vick.

But that’s not DFO.

This is DFO – it’s time to engage in the best kind of speculation – wild speculation!

Tim Tebow

Let’s just get this weak-armed consistent rumor out of the way now. Nope. Never. He’s firmly ensconced at the SEC Network, and busily prepping his 2018 run for Congress representing Gainesville.

Plus, he’s a virgin, and while Jerry Jones might trust him to help with the cover-up, he doesn’t trust anyone who’s never done coke off a hooker’s behind.

Johnny Manziel

A logical choice, given his love of hookers & blow, plus you know Jerry J would like to right the wrong he was talked out of during that draft. Plus, the four-game suspension awaiting him upon his return to active playing is on the moderate side of what the Cowboys are used to these days. In addition, helping an A&M boy right his ship would get ol’ Double-J the positive press he loves.

The downside – no one can find him. Why, he could be behind you…RIGHT NOW!

Rex Grossman

“I like it when my wife calls me Sexy Rexy.”

OH YEAH – THE SEX CANNON!

Seriously – he’s only 35, and a full 2 1/2 years younger than Josh McCown. He’s got an arm that’s been proven somewhat capable, and he was last in training camp with the Falcons in 2015, who cut him just before the season started.

He’ll always be a hero to me because the Browns tried to sign him to a one-week contract in December 2014, and he said no because he preferred to stay on vacation. Vacation from what? DOESN’T MATTER!

Kyle Orton

Retired at the end of the 2014 season, he’s always considered a favourite because he has worn Cowboys colours in the past. Plus, there’s the immeasurable experience in cleaning up Romo’s messes.

But he seems to really be enjoying retirement, as he’s mused running for Congress from his current hometown of Baton Rouge, LA.

Jon Kitna

Don’t laugh. He’s done the fill-in duty for the Cowboys before. A downside is that he’s 43 years old, he is teaching & coaching high school in Waxahachie, Texas for $95,000 / year, and why the fuck would he?

But, if the Cowboys don’t have someone under contract after they face Seattle in Week 3 of the preseason, desperate times and all that. Plus, don’t discount JERRAL hitting up Mammy & Pappy Kitna about whether their son wants to come out and play again.

Jordan Rodgers

Not really an option, but Jerry did see him on TV the other night, trying to make an honest woman of some hooker he met who was down on her luck.

However, there have been stories lately about how he doesn’t get along with his brother Aaron. Probably because Jordan doesn’t approve of Asian girls*. And if there’s one thing Jerry can’t stand, it’s someone who’d turn down quality poon discriminate based on race.

* = unproven allegation

Snagglepuss

  • Upside: Has great lateral movement.
  • Downside: Unfamiliar with playbook. Might be unable to read.

Plus, he’s constantly being hounded by the law.

Sounds like the perfect 21st Century Jerry Jones draft pick.

Magilla Gorilla

Has the size Jerry Jones covets. He’s willing to play for bananas. Plus, he has game experience.

He’s also huge with the kids, a fact modern marketing can’t afford to ignore.

Now it’s your turn.

I’m going after Big Toothpaste next; the physical, mechanical action of brushing is what’s important! The only active ingredient listed in toothpast is fluoride, same as WATER! Wake up sheeple! Or some other ruminant quadruped with lots of teeth!

Dear Canada,

The Montreal Alouettes continue to disappoint.

As a future resident of the province I must register my frustration with the performance of the team.

I trust that this problem will be resolved in the shortest possible order.

Cordially,

JustStopDude

2-1!!! NIGERIA OFF THE KICK OFF!!!

THIS IS FUCKING CRAZY!!!

JustStopDude

HOLY SHIT NIGERIA!!!

Team manager has already decided that the team is not allowed to sleep ever again…

JustStopDude

Boo that call. The Nigerian defending cleanly got the ball.

Now 1-1…

Genital Issimo

I recommend Jimmy Carter for back up. He has documented experience managing a game for 444 days, then stepping aside and letting the glory boy take credit.

JustStopDude

I doubt however that Romo would be funneling funds to the Patriots so that they could send weapons to Mexican drug cartels to destabilize the El Paso region of the state…

Actually now that I think about it…I could see JJ attempting to pull something off like this…

JustStopDude

Come on Nigeria!

>Only rooting for Nigeria because the Japanese home office sent me to Houston just to get fucking food poisoning…

Sill Bimmons

USA Rugby may very well be a laughingstock these days, but in the days of men and rugby we ruled with an iron fist:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rugby_union_at_the_1920_Summer_Olympics
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rugby_union_at_the_1924_Summer_Olympics

Nevermind for a moment that it only took three match victories to secure those two Gold Medals.

USARFU are still the defending Two-Time Gold Medalists and will remain so until the true sport is restored.

JustStopDude

Its like Notre Dame…back when only the whites were allowed to play…

Sill Bimmons

Or…everything else…

Genital Issimo

How did Staubach not end up in politics? Military plus Football success? He could’ve been king of the plains straight up.

Sill Bimmons

Maybe he’s not a self-aggrandizing douchenozzle.

The Maestro

Is there a rule that states an actual catapult is not allowed to be a quarterback in the NFL? I feel like the Double-J may want to exploit this if not.

JustStopDude

I got another potential banner of a back up QB for the Cowboys…

Considered one of the BEST college QB’s ever. Ties to the state and community. Professional experience but not too much wear and tear. And with a wonderlic score of 6 out of 50…you never have to worry about him over thinking the game. He also seriously needs cash so you got a relatively talented, motivated player.

Ladies and Gentlemen…I give you…the Tony Romo Memorial Backup QB….

VINCE YOUNG!

Its a perfect fit. No downside.

JustStopDude

I got to go off on a side rant about Vince Young. As a person that has struggled with the effects of concussions due to the military, and mental health issues as well, the way the NFL, his owner, and the team handled his episode where he disappeared basically showed exactly why its so fucking hard for people to seek out help for mental health issues.

The Maestro

Sill Bimmons

Results coming in?

Sill Bimmons

BTW FYI IYGAF

This “rugby” isn’t rugby.

It’s Sevens.

Sevens is an incredibly difficult form of ground acquisition football, but it has nothing to do with rugby.

It’s like saying that 4.8 A Side would be at all representative of football.

Don’t be taken in by the ruse.

If there aren’t 30 players on the pitch it ain’t rugby.

Sharkbait

At least they use Union rules.

Sill Bimmons

True, but it’s fewer than half of the players that participate in the actual game.

Even Elevens, 5 forwards and 6 backs, would give the novice spectator some idea of what a rugby match is.

Sevens is just little men running around for 28 minutes.

Snagglepuss’s lateral quickness is negated by a tendency to telegraph his moves. Verbally, even.

They even have a Lowest Common Denominator!

herodotus450

I know the answer: LCD = 1.

herodotus450

Although, the real lowest common denominator would be… -∞ (negative infinity) since 11/-∞ and 22/-∞ both equal (types into calculator) low battery. QED.

Sill Bimmons

http://s2.dmcdn.net/Titb/1280×720-pm8.jpg

The least common denominator of any whole number and another whole number is 1, which makes it a mathematical non-standard.

The LCD = Mouthbreathing Yinzers.

Duh.

When the fuck did Tim Tebow start hosting a reality show on Fox?

I don’t get this battle bot show. Its like 20 minutes of video and people rambling on and on. Do the bots actually ever do anything?

Also…white people…stop making white dreads a thing.

Pros- Hungry…I mean literally hungry. Tough…once stabbed three fellow FTRA members with a pen knife over a can of beans.

Cons- At 49…there are questions about his chin. Also has never mastered an NFL play book. He can be difficult to remove from the facilities once he is let go. You also want to de-lice him before you let him into the locker room.

That’s my favorite photo of Johnny Manziel ever.

Yup, Johnny. Those women are totally into you for your looks and personality.

Which I guess might not really matter at that point, but I’ll bet ladies of that caliber are pretty thin on the ground around JFF nowadays.

Sill Bimmons

Oh, he does, just not of that caliber.

He’s still got more than enough family money to troll for alley skanks.
