Your “The Rex Countdown Is On” Friday Evening Open Thread

“So, I leave that way?”

NFL News:

  • The Bills defence was horrible last night – “horri-awful”, to borrow an old Shaq quote – so naturally they’ve fired Offensive Coordinator Greg Roman.
    • I guess Rex wasn’t “the first motherfucker to go” like he promised he would be.
    • Next question: how do the Jets rack up 493 yards of offence? It made Ryan Fitzpatrick look competent, and almost worth the contract he tried to hold out for.
  • Sidenote from last night: not too many people seem to have issue with Ed Hochuli forcing Taylor off the field and into concussion protocol.
    • It was a pretty solid hit, and there was helmet contact.
      • Also, lying there playing dead kinda forced Hochuli’s hand. Taylor shouldn’t complain when he sold the impact like a ManU forward.
  • Helping once again to take years off of his life by dragging him up there in memory of long-bygone days, the Browns are honouring Jim Brown Sunday by unveiling a statue of him prior to their home opener against the Ravens.
  • TAWMMY & WELKAH are gonna play some catch this weekend. Maybe Brady will even buy the little fella some ice cream when they’re done. No sprinkles though; gotta have a ring to get those.
  • A tender hammy (plus Boltman’s wrath) will keep future trade bait Joey Bosa out of the Chargers game versus the Jags this Sunday.
  • Russell Wilson says he’s “ready to go” for the game versus the Rams on Sunday.
  • Get ready for all the HAWT TAEKS Peter King can muster, because the Hall of Fame nomination list was released Friday, and included was 5-time Pro Bowler and 16-time raper Darren Sharper.

Finally, if you want to spend a few minutes wondering whether steel beams can actually melt, SB Nation has a pretty good story on how Jeff Fisher is basically a coaching Ponzi scheme. I find it amazing that Rex will be fired long before he is. Colonel RAMIT looks like every used car salesman stereotype, and a shower & blow dry away from being Jim Tomsula.


For those who are interested, the World Cup of Hockey officially starts this weekend.

 

A veritable “DON’T GET HURT!” of players from rosters representing the elite of the NHL, plus a couple of Swedish & Russian guys no one outside the deepest hockey boards has heard of.

I do like how they’ve got a kids team,

so they could include guys like Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel without costing other players spots on a national team. FYI: The “XXIII” in the logo is for noting the team is comprised of players 23 and under.

The “Europe” team is how they found a way to include Slovaks, Slovenes, Latvians and various other Europeans so it’s not just the usual suspects/8 teams taking part.

Opening games are Saturday & Sunday. The full schedule can be found here. Don’t be alarmed that you’re seeing hockey on ESPN.


Tonight’s Sports:

  • College Football:
    • Baylor at Rice – 8:00 PM | ESPN

There’s a full schedule of Euro footy, followed by College footy before we get our NFL actio of Sunday. REST UP, MY PRETTIES!

So I just saw I had a message from the guy I am helping out for my mom eventually that I had just assumed was gonna be a 9:30-11am tomorrow thing now because she schedules in language of:
“How about Monday 10, Tuesday 11am, Thursday at 11am or Saturday at 9:30am?”
“Sure I could do that? Tuesday and Thursday are out because I have class. Let me know what works or just give me the guy I am helpings number”
/ Never calls until she calls my dad 5 times on Wednesday morning because my phone was on silent
// Claimed I agreed to a Wednesday pickup
/// Finally gives me the guys number

I never got in touch with him but I said this weekend would work. I was in class and missed his Thursday call but I just got his message from late today call that wants to do it next week. I was mostly ready (cloths, trailer hitch ready but not in, trailer ready etc) and had my alarm set before I just saw his call (well like 30 min ago now, but meant it to be the last thing I checked before bed).

Not even sand and seawater could make that unappetizing.

On second thought, maybe there is time for the old in out.

No chance @realDonaldTrump could be on @ABCSharkTank. The Sharks need to have millions of their own cash to invest. https://t.co/awrosmSnU1— Chris Sacca (@sacca) September 17, 2016
