NFL Notes:
- well, I expected nfl.com to have little if any mention of last night’s fiasco. All they’ve got is a short piece on the need to replace the field, without laying any direct blame for last night.
- in follow-up, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
- RGIII has been named the pre-season starter for the Browns. Future Cowboys QB Josh McCown will be one of his backups.
- that makes him the 25th Browns starting QB since 1999.
- Ohh, that’s not good – Joey Bosa’s mom is on record as saying they wish “we pulled an Eli”.
- Their side of the beef is that they feel the Chargers won’t structure his contract akin to previous #3 picks.
- Poor Bears fans – Hroniss Grasu has torn his ACL and is done for the year. It’s not like Jay Cutler needs a center.
- Completely related, Big Daddy Drew’s WYTS column today is about Da Bears.
I think I consider everyone delighted as much as I did in last night’s idiocy from Canton. I’d feel bad for game attendees, but they still got their Lee Greenwood concert.
We all know what happened. In brief:
- they had the field covered for two days, to accommodate a Tim McGraw show and the induction ceremony
- the field was painted about 10:00 AM
- the paint refused to dry
- someone got the idea to use heaters
- the heaters melted the rubber to the paint, creating a hard shell
- the field was declared unplayable.
Now come the recriminations. Or they would, if it wasn’t the soulless leadership of the NFL directing employees to say an authoritative “Fuck you” to the fans.
The only refunds currently being offered are for the cost of game tickets. Tickets bought through resale sites other than the official NFL partner, Ticketmaster, will not be refunded by the League. [StubHub has offered full refunds.] They have refused comment on whether they will reimburse for other expenses like hotels, despite the fact that it wasn’t an “Act of God” that forced abandonment of the contest. Someone, somewhere is contemplating a “Turf-gate” class-action suit.
The League has confirmed the game will remain in Canton.
When Randy Moss is able to hold the moral high ground, you there’s been a problem.
You know you done screwed up big when Peter King feels confident getting off his knees and joining the chorus. “It’s an embarrassment of the highest order.” Mighty strong words from a fellow intent on voting a rapist into the Hall of Fame.
Jim Irsay – JIM IRSAY – has the balls to talk about “incompetence”.
Yet, somehow, he will stay Commissioner.
Tonight’s sports:
Unless you like (on ESPN) Little League Qualifiers – AND WHO DOESN’T?! – it’s all Olympics.
The big deal is Michael Phelps going for Gold Medal #20 tonight.
You can watch it LIVE! in Canada, or on tape-delay on NBC.

Im behind in the Olympics. Phelps looks like he wants to murder that South African in the ready room.
“50 GOP national security officials sign letter attacking Trump:
“He responds: they own Iraq.”
This is beautiful.
I like that he got upset that the media twisted the crying baby thing. The reality was that the mother was actually leaving and he was throwing shade at her while she was halfway out the door. In my mind, he looked better just telling her to get out.
That is easily the stupidest part of this whole thing that anybody gives a fuck about.

Have you seen the list of the signers? It includes such notable war criminals as John Negroponte and actual criminals like Michael Hayden, but I guess if that’s what it takes to get flag-fuckers to change their minds, then so be it.

I’m one of the few people who love what a cesspool the internet is — but, my god, this gender shit is unreal. I mean, we have some serious issues with regard to gender equality in the United States — but none of this fabricated Cokie Roberts/Cory Cogdell shit is it.
A serious issue was co-opted and picked over by detailed-obsessed and empathy-free lunatics? ONLINE!? Get the fuck out of here.
SJW’s are the scourge of the earth.
As I always say, the only thing worse than SJWs are the MRAs that justify their existence.
I’d watch a PCP fueled brawl between 50 SJWs and MRAs.
This whole MRA and SJW crap is because white people have nothing better to do with their time but get into internet fights and twitter stalk each other…
We need a good long ground war and a draft with zero deferments. Cull the herd. I hear North Korea is game!

You still have to use the html code that only shows up on the desktop version of Youtube. You have to click Share and then Embed and the html code will show up. Copy it and paste it onto the comment and it should work.
Never has before. I always figured ’twas bcuz I am on the bottom of the totem pole. Not a complaint, I belong on the bottom (phrasing). But I’ll give a shot again and see.

Why is the fat guy from that dreadful Top Gear America show doing a segment on NBCSN?
I don’t want to hear from him about fucking cars…WHY WOULD I GIVE A SHIT ABOUT HIS PERSPECTIVES ON THE RIVALRY BETWEEN ARGENTINA AND BRAZIL?!?!
About 700 hours of Olympic events that NBC could chose to show…and this crap is still going on.

I suspect it’ll be a long time before I break the habit of hearing Joey Bosa’s name and muttering, “BOSA DEEZ NUTS” under my breath.
I hope he just sits out a year and gets redrafted. Did he already sign an agent? Probably, so no going back to school.
WHAT IS THIS SHIT?!?
I DON’T HANDLE CHANGE WELL AT ALL!!!!
Jeebus. 25 starters since 1999? That takes a special kind of incompetence. Or, as the Browns call it: Tuesday.

Sweet Jebus these GE commercials make me want to throw the dog into the TV.
http://s2.quickmeme.com/img/8e/8e4aadb59384174ce70d48bbc79e2ca19af67de03b2d220461a7cc6d63ca1583.jpg
I work with a company that used to be partners with GE along with having an ex that currently works for them.
I have no fucking clue what their PR perspective is…because to me, as an engineer, I find their commercials rather insulting.
In a related note, the way they run their company is insane. Pretty much they routinely fire about 20% of their engineers every year which just causes them to become top heavy as fuck. I get a lot of work just doing really expensive legacy work because our customers will pay more just to not deal with GE directly. GE…”Good Enough”….
I’m sure that firing of the bottom performers makes them feel really smart as a company too.
It goes back to when Jack Welch implemented his 3 tier ranking system. Basically 20% are A’s. 60% are B’s and are threatened with getting fired. The remaining are C’s and they get cut.
Naturally managers don’t want to let go people they know…so GE turned into a revolving door for new people. I have coworkers that were let go and rehired by GE multiple times in a row.
Welsh basically turned them into a massive bank, sold off and fired most of their engineering departments, and then when the global downturn hit, GE was fucked. So now they are trying to get talent back and go back into drives, motors, and automation.
Their image in the field is terrible. I’ve been offered up to 20% raises to work for them but everything I have heard makes it sound like a terrible idea.
They are a company that will spend millions of dollars purchasing a another company and then arbitrarily decide to just cut their losses. No rhyme or reason.
So, Yahoo before Yahoo was Yahoo?
Snazzy. So do I take my shoes off? The pants stay off, this is not up for debate.
The pants were on in the first place?
I had earlier obligations. Stupid societal norms and graces. Decency laws…pshaw.
And sometimes, Japanese wrestling is exactly what you expect.

Everything was going according to plan with the paint drying process until Andrew Luck decided to break out the Ark of the Covenant to speed things up a bit.
I practically touched myself to the hate in the Bears’ WYTS. I definitely loved the “I don’t have to go” guy’s story.
I liked the dude puking on his sandwich and still eating it.

I finally got a “hear it from the fans comment” in there. Even the good times with that team are covered in shit.
