It seems that in honour of tonight’s third and final Presidential debate, all NFL news is doom & gloom:
- Skipping practice: Joe Flacco; Odell Beckham Jr.; Terrelle Prior.
- Out multiple weeks: Eddie Lacy; Ben Roethlisberger.
- Fined: Vontaze Burfict – $75000 + no games.
- Benched: Ryan Fitzpatrick. Welcome back, Geno.
- Shoulda let Mom make the Chunky: Dez Bryant.
One shining light is that Tyler Eifert – the new poster boy for eliminating the Pro Bowl – has begun practicing with the Bengals.
At the League’s Fall meetings in Houston, the Rams, Raiders & Chargers all gave updates as to their stadium situations. Mark Davis gave updates on both Oakland & Las Vegas, most likely in the Lionel Hutz “truth” and “TRUTH” voices.
Finally, the NFL & NFLPA released a joint statement on the protocol procedures followed after Cam Newton got rocked in the Thursday NFL opener versus the Broncos. You can determine its tl;dr status here. The two main takeaways are that
- Nothing amiss occurred in the sideline evaluation; and
- Ed Hochuli was correct in forcing Tyrod Taylor off after his hit.
I’m shocked…SHOCKED that the League would investigate itself and find itself to have done the correct thing. This kind of arrogance & confidence is why no one liked Teflondre.
Hey! The Blue Jays are out of the playoffs.
As usual, not much will happen in the debate tonight. The only important question was asked & answered a month ago by Big Daddy Drew.
Fox News’ Chris Wallace is tonight’s moderator. His topics for the debate are: debt and entitlements, immigration, economy, Supreme Court, foreign hot spots, and fitness to be president. I anticipate he’ll be more fair than the average Fox journalist, possibly lulling Trump into a false sense of security. At this point, there’s not much drama, outside of the special guests,
and tarmac games of chicken.
On the Trump side, he’s flying in Malik Obama, Barack’s half-brother (same dad), and Benghazi-truther Patricia Smith, who lost a son in the attack and whose confirmation bias only blames Hillary:
“I know she murdered him … I do hope she will tell me something. I don’t think she will because I don’t think she’s got the guts to tell me what happened (in Benghazi).” (CNN)
Mrs. Clinton is countering with Mark Cuban and Meg Whitman, because who doesn’t have billionaire friends they can fly around on donor dimes?
The tastiest protest of the evening is the “wall of taco trucks” being built in front of trump’s Las Vegas hotel in advance of tonight’s debate at UNLV.
It’s not around the complex, but it does make for an impressive, delicious sight on the one side of the street.

And I really wanted him to be out.
Open discussion….that’s funny.
Call on the field rules the day I guess.
But that looked pretty clearly safe to me.
Safe.
Should have tagged his arm.
Yup. Dude’s reaching for the plate, you put the tag on the plate.
Wow…can’t believe that they upheld that.
They had to have ruled his hand was above the plate and didn’t get down early enough. That’s the only explanation.
That or they had a feed we never saw on Fox.
Apparently not.
Holy shit.

The Raiders have retained Barrett Sports Group, LLC, a nationally recognized sports management consulting firm, to evaluate the potential demand for a new multi-purpose stadium in Las Vegas. While no decisions have been made regarding a potential relocation of the team, the Raiders and the NFL are continuing to assess the potential demand for the development of a new stadium in Las Vegas.
As a valued member of Raider Nation, you are invited, and encouraged, to participate in a survey regarding the potential stadium project. The survey is intended to help the Raiders understand your opinion and potential interest in the project.

I believe that the Las Vegas market would support the NFL Raiders if they were to relocate to Las Vegas.

Twenty questions in:
PSLs represent a source of funds which can be used to finance professional sports facilities and minimize the reliance of public revenue sources. PSLs give fans the right to purchase season tickets for a defined period of time. PSLs typically consist of a one-time fee that gives the buyer “ownership” of a given seat for a period of time (e.g., 30 years).
PSLs are typically paid upfront or over time with financing options. The price of PSLs varies significantly between teams and by seating locations. Many NFL teams and stadiums have recently sold or are in process of selling PSLs.
If UNLV gets to use the stadium as well, this shit is getting built. PAC12 and Mountain West CFB will play their championship games there.
The stadium would be considered for a spot if the CFB Playoffs expanded too. Too much money as at stake for the LVCVA to let the Raiders not come.
Well at least Addison made good contact.
That was right in front of us.
Warning track power.
Better than Heyward who had a ball dead center in the plate and fouled it off weakly.
Fuck it. I’m taking a walk until I die or the sun explodes.

I hope y’all talk tonight because I don’t want to fill this my insane baseball bullshit.
Dude, I’m still trying to figure out how to abduct Buck Showalter and get him into my basement for torture and dismemberment. You’ve got a ways to go before you get to insane.
Honestly, being one and done is actually preferable to watching a three-day-long drowning in a foot of water.

Hagiography-wise I hate the mother-loving shit out of Larry Bird. That said, the guy was a great ball player.
/20 years-that’s all it takes to not hate with a white-hot heat a guy. Who knew?
Let’s show a bunch of offensive stats with no context! Guess what? EVERY TEAM HAS BEEN POOR OFFENSIVELY THIS POSTSEASON.
I wonder if the fuckbrains who sign up for Naked and Afraid are aware that they do not receive any reward.
Christ, they’re dumber than my wife.
Is she really a Trump supporter?
Yup, she’s voting for him. I told her she was an idiot. That conversation didn’t go well either.
I’m shocked…shocked I tell you.
Condolences.
My ex and I had 99 problems but politics wasn’t one.
She was raised by a narrow minded, holier than thou, judgemental, prudish, unaccepting mother who calls herself a good Christian, and happens to hate black people, muslims, Jews, and anyone who is not a good white Christian who is also a rabid, brainwashed Republican.
You know, just like Christ wanted.
Praise Jeebus.
If only they’d actually read their book.

You’re very nice not to call baseball a shitshow.
Is it time yet?
The end…of…days?
That was a pretty toss.
Joe Buck announcing a game is never something you enjoy. You may tolerate it, you may not hate it, but you’ll never enjoy it. He’s, at best, cafeteria food and at worst something you spew across the room.
I suppose if he knew how to call a game if what happened on the field didn’t fit his pre-determined talking points, I’d cut him some slack, but alas…
“Joe Buck always gives me the shits.”
-Anon.
Joe Buck needs to have a flaming, barb-wire wrapped, telephone pole shoved up his ass.
Stop booing, Dodgers fans. If you’re throwing at somebody you don’t throw at their foot you fucking nimrods.

I’m staying off Cubs Twitter tonight. The only good Cubs tweet I’ve seen in the last 24 hours was when a guy said we (the fans, not the team) don’t deserve a World Series.
Trust in Joe.

Yes, Smoltz. That little bump pre-All Star Break that lasted about three fucking weeks where no one could pitch or hit. Just a small thing. No Cubs fans lost their minds then at all. Nope. We never do that.
OK, it’s time.

Just make it really shallow in the draft and broad in the beam.
Bernoulli once said “Give me a solid gold ship 30,000 cubits broad and one cubit deep and it will displace enough water vis-a-vis the volume to float!”
It’s not as catchy as Archimedes’ lever but every bit as applicable.

It’s all good, I follow what you were saying. The problem is, gold is a soft metal, do we even have the technology to rivet something like that together? I’m not up on my metallurgy.
You can’t rivet gold, you have to cast it.
Small potatoes FOAR TRUMPMERICA
One point no one has raised yet : Given Trump’s love of putting his name all over shit in giant, tacky, shiny letters, who here is ready to live in TRUMPmerica? Even if he can’t change the name, I’m pretty sure the giant wall he wants to build has nothing to do with immigration and everything to do with another surface to put blinged out TRUMP insignia on.
30 years from now he’ll need a solid gold aircraft carrier.
Crap, now I want to go do some calculations and figure out how to make such a thing float
Eh. He’ll just gild it and pretend no one knows the difference.

The Cubs didn’t do anything about lefties! They only scored three runs on seven hits off Bumgarner to drive him from the game after five innings. THEY CAN’T HIT ELITE LEFTIES!
Deep breath, my friend.
The game hasn’t even started yet.

Hehehe… tit.
I didn’t know Flacco was left handed. He must have suppressed it in his youth since it’s associated with demonism.
Kyle Hendricks is baseball Joe Flacco.

Remember, the Cubs offense is shit because they’ve only scored 25 runs in seven games.
Unlike the AL Champions from Cleveland who have scored a whopping 27 runs in eight games.
Always trust the narrative, folks. Always.

I am primarily pulling for the Small Bears, but holy FUCKBALLS is there a significant anti-Dodger fraction in there.
A friend of mine in L.A. tried to talk me into flying out there for one of these games. He said we could just buy tickets at face value for about $100 to any of them. Were my schedule not bad this week, I might have done it.
Consider that I had to enter a lottery for all Cubs playoff tickets.
It’s going to be so much fun watching you all watch this thing.

I guess my intent by saying “RICH ASS FAT CATS WHO DON’T PAY TAXES HAVE TO PAY” didn’t come across.
No, it did, I just wanted the Trump supporter reading this to have the clarity of a binary opposite to focus his aggression on.

I just got back from picking up Korean wings from across the street, and the liquor store next door was packed like it was New Year’s Eve.
