We’ve got a small slate of four games to gorge on today. I’ll just go over some of the draft picks that you may see and take some cheap shots (as always) where available.
Seahawks/Chiefs-Seattle’s brain trust must have felt that both lines needed some strengthening so of their 8 picks they spent 5 at those positions. Petey loves his skill guys so the remaining choices were limited to 3 wr’s and an rb. The first rounder, ol Germain Ifedi has been duking it out with various defensive players on an on-going basis. Of course Head Truther Carroll loves his spunk. I’m curious about third rounder C.J. Prosise-he was recruited out of high school as a safety, was converted to wr for his soph and junior years and finished as an rb in his fourth year. That’s a unique Percy Harvin-ish skill set he has there. The Chiefs tripled-down on defensive backs and scattered the rest of their picks. The training camp star has been 5th round wr Tyreek Hill from West Alabama(?). He was drafted for his “world class” speed but lo and behold, it turns out he has hands and can run routes! Failed failure Nick Foles will fail under center for a while. Fail.
Colts/Bills-Indy seems to have done okay in the draft, having picked at least four full/part-time starters in center Ryan Kelly, safety T.J. Green, d-tackle Hassan Ridgeway and guard Joe Haeg. The success of the first two rounds of the Bills draft will manifest itself, uh, next year? Shaq Lawson celebrated his selection by opting to have shoulder surgery while second pick Reggie Ragland tore a ligament running down one of those pesky ball carriers. Let’s all hope that the injury bug that has devastated the Giants for the past three years has moved upstate.
Cowboys/Rams-Dallas qb/Simpsons caricature “Fat Tony” Romo will be watching 4th rounder DAK! Prescott and the undraftable Jameill “The Golden” Showers attempt to pull some talent out of the center’s butt. Keep an eye out for rook rb Darius Jackson who has been setting the Cowboy camp on fire which in a literal sense sounds like a right fine idea to me. Given that he’s got Elliott, McFadden, Dunbar and Morris ahead of him on the depth chart he probably should be slotted into the “preseason wunderkind ends up on practice squad” category. Rico Gathers finished up his basketball career at Baylor and then offered up his 6’8″, 276 lb. frame to NFL scouts. If you are an evaluator of NFL talent and say “I’M CRAZEEEEE!!!” quite a bit, the fact that Rico hadn’t touched a football since eighth grade is not a problem. The Rams draft was almost entirely offensive-qb Goff, te’s Higbee and Hemingway and wr’s Cooper and Thomas were chosen. Looks as thought nascent Triplet Gurley is going to find some other fellas to fill the remaining roles. Case Keenum gets the start but Goff should play into the 3rd quarter. By the by, more than 100k fans are expected to show for this. That’s a lot of disappointed people in one place.
Chargers/Titans-I’m willing to bet that rook rb Derrick Henry will out-score/out-rush DeMarco “Three Teams in Three Years” Murray. Take a peek-a-boo at fifth round wr Tajae Sharpe. The Umass grad led the nation in catches last year and has already grabbed a starting spot over the likes of [looks at Titans roster] hmm… Well, it’s impressive anyway. San Diego has yet to get Joey Bosa to put pen to paper. The third overall pick might improve the Chargers fortunes on the field, I don’t know. He is in good company though-both LT and Marmalard started their careers by holding out.
Now that’s done with…GET IT ON, BANG A GONG, PEOPLE!

Why in the hell did I pick an identity based on some middling journeyman DC anyway?

The fact you appreciate it washes away the shame.
Thank you.

I’m quite happy the person running the soundboard is potting up the field noise just high enough so I don’t have to hear THE DOUBLE J fellate Kroenke.
And the officials are in midseason form.
Chaz Green is having a rought outing.
I need to stop reading the news. On the plus side, if the Bears suck this year, I know where to find lots of infographics about Chicago getting killed out there….

It’s genuinely difficult to think of a way to think or act positively in this cultural climate.
Holy FUCKBALLS that sentence is awful.
At least as far as Chicago goes, it could be worse. Headed in the wrong direction though, and likely to keep going that way. The politics in this city would make Boss Tweed blush.

I like to try to teach you all medicine and stuff because I used to teach it and I really miss it.
Once I get my company into the black I’m going back to teaching part time at least.
That’s a good profession. Good luck. The world needs more teachers who care.
Thanks, and I do.
I just couldn’t keep up with the publishing demands.
This time I’m only teaching college kids and fuck research.

Don’t worry, I appreciate the word of experts because I understand the limits to my knowledge and don’t let FEELZ override most of my decisions.
That being said, I did drop a dentist after he gave me the creeps. Then I saw he reported a bad review on Google because it was written by a teenager and that violates Google’s TOS. Yeah, nothing fucking bizarre about that.
I don’t encourage second opinions when it comes to surgery.
I encourage sixth opinions.
In fact, I encourage seventh opinions.
Basically as many opinions as you can get.
Enough eyes on the problem will get it solved properly.
Insurance/Medicare will pay for as many opinions as you want when it comes to surgery.
They’d much rather foot the multiple consultation fees than the consequences of an unnecessary surgery.
Isn’t that all scientific fields?

But that photo was supposed to be just between us.
But now you photoshop a Romohead (lol…Romohead) onto it for shits and giggles?
And I’d never be caught dead in that piece of shit car, though the proportions are sadly more correct than I’d care to admit.
Don’t make me publish the dickpics you’ve sent me. This is your last warning.

So many memories…
How much did they pay a marketing team to come up with “Wings. Beer. Sports.”

The Internet:
Gambling. Porn. Sports.
Toyota spent $200 million, including sending the entire design and engineering teams to the Côte d’Azur, to come up with this:

I keep getting your Edit button for some reason.
Your secret’s safe with me, Trev.
The only time I’ve seen an edit button is on somebody else’s post and it never stays after I reload the page.
I’ve never seen an edit option on any of my posts, though.
Me neither.
I treat it as a suggestion to tell someone that they’re wrong and try to edit their post anyway.
I can’t recall where I read it, but I said Silent Stan was pondering involvement in a St. Louis MLS team.
Buddy, you’re lucky they don’t hang you from the Arch. No one will support that team knowing you’re involved with it.
That narwhal beard scarf he’s wearing would make an excellent noose.
Really?
The narwhal beard joke didn’t land with anyone?
Because narwhals don’t really have beards so having a scarf made entirely of narwhal beard must cost like a bazillion dollars and only a colossal billionaire fuckweasel like Stan Kroenke would even know such a thing existed?
Nobody?

Why do you buy beer that you don’t drink? I get not drinking your good beer when you’re too drunk to enjoy it, but are you really at that point?
Or you could just order beer….
