Your “Hold Off On Drinking, It’s ‘Annie!’ Day” Wednesday Open Thread

Because when it’s preseason,

https://youtu.be/Yop62wQH498

there’s football tomorrow!


NFL Headlines:Homer - that bean I ate

  • Bruce Arians has been released from hospital. Must’ve been that bean he ate.
  • Steve Smith passed his physical. Looking forward to his demands people ice up.
  • Tomy Romo is expected to play Friday versus the Dolphins.
    • He has to, or they won’t let him at the post-game buffet, and you know how much he loves eclairs!
  • John Elway is “not fretting” about the Broncos QB situation.
    • Well, why should he? He won last year with a combination of Y.A. Tittle and Dan McGwire.
  • Tennessee has faith in Andre Johnson returning to form, because why else would they trade 2015 second-round receiver Dorial Green-Beckham to the Eagles?
    • Mind you, the Titans have a better quarterback (at present) so for this year maybe it’s not so dumb.
  • Adding another floor of sadness to the Factory is news that RGIII has filed for divorce.
    • Nice to see the Browns putting their preseason to good use developing his eventual excuses.


Finally, on a serious note, si.com has a worth-your-time story about Erick’s Kramer & Hipple and their separate but similar suicide attempts.

Like the previously told story about Eric Kramer in the Detroit Free Press, Duchess’ soapbox, and of course Ape’s seminal piece back at the old place, it references symptoms like depression and CTE and tells tales about guys who had reached the end of their ropes.

All of these stories will make you reflect in some way, and are a constant reminder that any disease or injury of the mind is a serious thing that needs to be treated professionally.


Tonight’s sports:

  • MLB: Red Sox @ Orioles – 7:00 (ESPN)
  • Olympics:
    • NBC – 8:00 – Track & Field; Women’s beach volleyball gold medal match
    • NBCSN – 9:00 – Men’s basketball – Serbia vs Croatia; bronze medal beach volleyball
      • Note: if you can, rewatch the “Once Brothers” 30 for 30 on Vlade Divac (Serbia) and Dražen Petrović (Croatia) prior to the game

Scotchy’s got you tomorrow and Friday for Week 2 of preseason Open Thread action. In the meantime, and in between time, enjoy your evening, and remember – it’s not a dream.

DON’T LEAVE THE HOUSE NAKED!

Comforting. Feeling drowsy already.

I didn’t expect it to be so relaxing either.

Disappointingly aerodynamic.

I prefer the original.

Brick Meathook

I was totally digging “fissapoingly.” I thought it was a new word. I’m going to use it anyway.

WCS

If a North Korean athlete doesn’t medal, are they sent to the gulag? Better question, if they do medal, are they forced to “award” it to Kim Jong-un as “tribute to his Gloriousness”?

ArmedandHammered

I was only half joking when, upon hearing that no medals were won by Chinese gymnasts, I said to my wife “Wow, the prison camps in North Korea are going to soon have a permanent gymnastic team courtesy of China!”

After hearing about some of the stuff Sadam did the Iraqi athletes who didn’t win, I’ve often wondered how many people who failed miserably at the games, just disappear in these totalitarian countries.

Kordell Stewart, how gay was he?

On the rainbow scale, he was a huckleberry hound

Is that on a scale from Tim Tebow to Steve Young?

He was a solid George Garcia.

I will laugh when I hear about him dying after sticking a fork into an electric socket.

As the guys on my college track team who were allowed to say this kind of thing said:

MOAR BUTTS THAN A BOX OF NEWPORTS

I also just noticed that the thing in the right-hand corner is an upside-down Nike swoosh.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I agree; squirters are GREAT!

Sill Bimmons

Usain Bolt is so much more impressive to me than Michael Phelps will ever be.

Every human who has ever lived that can run has run a footrace from here to there.

No other human has run their footrace faster than Bolt.

Kungjitsu

Oh my God! Your only saying that because Bolt is black and Phelps is white. Your such a racist, Bomani

One of the things about getting divorced is that you dig up all the depressing hardcore shit you used to listen to.

This is so that at least when you’re banging your head against the wall you’ve got a decent soundtrack.

EMBRACE THE MADNESS

Shogun Marcus

Watching the decathlon.
Who here remembers the Dan vs. Dave marketing campaign fiasco? Reebok yes?

Brocky

I can steeplechase to the list of events I didn’t known existed.

Where the fuck was that in high school?

Sill Bimmons

You don’t steeplechase in high school unless you go to a really big/wealthy/private school.

Installing and maintaining a steeplechase track costs a fortune compared to a regular track so most high schools don’t do it.

Brick Meathook

My high school was so poor that the only sports were competitive floor-mopping, singles and doubles knife-fighting, 200-meter ditch-digging, and the box-lifting decathalon.

Damn, Lorde is shilling for Omega.

This 18K rose gold Skeleton Tourbillon Complication is over $62K

Doesn’t take long for any of them to take the money.

If i ever got a watch that cost $62k, I’d never wear the damn thing for fear of breaking it.

You insure it against loss, theft, and breakage.

Gotta set my keepers by 11:00. I don’t fuckin’ know anymore. I can keep up to 4, but don’t HAVE to keep any. Thomas Rawls, T.Y. Hilton, Kelvin Benjamin, Michael Floyd. Would anyone use these as keepers, or should I just take 4 off the top of the deck?

Sill Bimmons

That’s not the best keeper situation I’ve ever seen.

I’d go top 4.

Fronkenshteen

When you’re right, you’re right. I just cleared the decks. Thanks.

Sorry about the edited version

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I can edit BeerGuyRob’s comments the way the site is set up, not my own. Is there a way to fix that? I really want to fix my last post

And apparently Beerguyrob can edit my posts too.

Apparently everything is an Olympic sport but fucking baseball…

Although I have to admit, this indoor bike soccer is pretty impressive.

On a related note, don’t be afraid to get your testosterone levels checked if you’re over 35.

I never would have gotten my life back on track if I hadn’t gotten my T-levels sorted.

Mine was 180.

Fuck. Now you’ve got me worried as I’m nothing but flab (aka estrogen).

Sill Bimmons

Don’t be worried.

If this is a problem that you find you have it is SO EASY to fix.

The first day I was on treatment I felt a difference.

Get checked out.

So I’m testing out that Gun Club playlist I recommended. Happy to report that it’s still solid.

Can’t fucking wait for Raiders preseason game tomorrow. Is this what it’s like to try to quit heroin?

I would aim you towards a RHCPs playlist if you want to know about a heroin addiction

So I’m watching handball.

I legitimately did not know this was a sport. I’ve never seen any footage of it.

All I can gather, doesn’t the goalie slow down his reactions by keeping his hands up the whole time?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

“Handball? Yeah, I don’t know what that is either.”

Scottish referee Hugh Dallas

JustStopDude

Why not just have the goalie doing jumping jacks during the 30 or so odd penalty shots a match?

I might have day drank today. I miss having friends that would just want to be in charge of the music and make their own playlist and introduce me to great stuff while also playing my favorites, I just always go back to my favorites and don’t branch out because by default I am lazy.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

This is probably my favorite DFO Radio list. Lots of great stuff on here.

I was a big Erik Kramer fan when he was the Bears. Tough player, quality guy, and my heart goes out to him and his family. Glad he seems to be managing better, and hopefully the dark times aren’t as deep as they were in the past.
