Your “THIS is League Stability?”Thursday Night Open Thread

NFL News:

  • The Raiders have officially filed their relocation papers with the League.
    • According to Yelp, the second best, but closest, moving company to the O.co is West Coast Moving Systems. They have a three-hour guaranteed response time, and proudly advertise having moved Gary Payton.
      • This seems right up Mark Davis’ cheap-ass alley.
  • Three relocations in two years? Who’s next – the Jags?!
  • The Seahawks may lose a second-round pick for failing to disclose Richard Sherman’s season-long knee injury.
    • According to Mort, this would be an elevation of their fifth-round deduction as penalty for violating rules surrounding off-season workouts.
  • Travis Kelce’s favourite official Carl Cheffers has been selected as the Super Bowl referee.
  • Jim Irsay announced Andrew Luck had successful shoulder surgery.
    • But he has absolutely no idea where Luck’s painkillers went.
      • Nope; no idea at all.
    • unrelated, but related to Painkillers:

  • Adrian Peterson announced his short-list were he to leave the Vikings.
    • But, y’know, he wants to stay.
    • If he doesn’t, it’d be to either the Giants, Texans or Buccaneers.

Finally, more Crimebeat! than NFL news, but Oklahoma CB Parrish Cobb was arrested on three counts of aggravated robbery for incidents in Waco, Texas between January 7-10.

  • Cobb, who was a Baylor committee until Art Briles was dismissed, is from Waco and is alleged to have been the driver of the vehicle responsible for transporting both he and the gunman.
    • As evidenced by the fact the car was identified by two of the victims, is registered to a relative of Cobb’s, and had an OU parking permit on the dash.
  • Posted bond was $90,000.

I can’t wait for some idiot to say this wouldn’t have happened had Baylor not done Art Briles wrong.


It sure was nice of the nfl.com “Super Bowl Challenge” to send me “Thank you for playing notices”, especially after KC & Seattle crapped out and cost me my remaining picks. But I guess my Scottish last name was confusing to them, because while I got the requisite notification in English

NFL - english

 

it seems they also sent Spanish

NFL - espanol

 

and German

NFL - deutsch

 

just in case. Not French, though, despite my Canadian address.

That’s what I deserve, I suppose, for picking the Chiefs over the Steelers & Seahawks over the Falcons. I guess I doomed myself by choosing mayo over Miracle Whip at the start of the season.


Tonight’s discussion question:

President Trump – will he be Warren Harding incompetent or Eisenhower hands-off?

  • Both had popular campaign slogans
    • Harding: “A return to normalcy”
    • Eisenhower: “I Like Ike”
  • Both started as popular presidents
    • Harding reinforced laws on Prohibition, despite being a raging alcoholic.
    • Campaigned against “communism, Korea and corruption.”
  • Both had corrupt underlings or party members they weren’t paying attention to until too late.
    • Harding – scandals: Teapot Dome; the Veterans’ Bureau
    • Eisenhower – Richard Nixon; Joseph McCarthy

History has been much kinder to Eisenhower.

I am open to other suggestions.


Make sure to pour one out tonight for George Clooney’s first cousin Miguel Ferrer. Throat cancer, age 61.

Like a 70% chance I am out for the night. One last Shirley Manson (of Garbage fame) before I take off

The car alarm defeats the main purpose, but there is some satisfaction in the results.

I can admit this is shitty (like the whole third verse or lack thereof). It’s embedded in my brain though due to timing.

Mr. Ayo

I think the theme is “borderline shitty” which is not yet shitty enough for us to comp to.

More or less.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

We are posting it at 3 am. We can just admit we like it now. Nobody is even gonna check the post tomorrow

theeWeeBabySeamus

No shush.
We have to live this down tomorrow.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

FUCK THAT; I’M POSTING STUFF I LIKE, MR. BUTTFACE.

I’LL ALSO RELISTEN TO IT TOMORROW.

theeWeeBabySeamus

WCS

BOSS TODD post is done and ready for launch. I just need a date and time to spit Kodiak chew on the rest of DFO.

I never trusted that guy. Why was he always hiding?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Fuck that guy.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

FUCK THE POLICE! THESE CHARGES ARE TRUMPED UP AND FALSE!!

LOYDERING??? FUCK YOU!

Mr. Ayo

BOSS TODD’s shift bagging groceries is done at 1pm. Then he needs another hour to clean up the BOSS CAMARO. Then, and only then, can the Kubiak spit be dispelled upon us.

Senor Weaselo

I think one of the worst things in life is having to substitute help someone out for your mom when she is hurt knowing the guy only asked her to help because he wanted to bang her. Then getting there to help and the dude is mad it is me and not my mom. We both know it. Then I have to do some bullshit task that takes all day. Then I go home and if I mention it to my mom I am the crazy one, even though she has ended many friendships with guys after because they were only trying to sleep with her.

/ End of rants. You might not like my terrible music I have ready though

Twice in one day? *checks clock* Well it is tomorrow…

Mr. Ayo

Your grasp of time zones is remarkable. I hope management takes this into account when your DFO annual renewal comes up.
