NFL News:
- ESPN had someone follow future broadcaster Tony Romo around a golf course during his US Open qualifier.
- I don’t think they cut back enough.
- Future broadcaster & futurer GM Jay Cutler advises the Bears to not play Mitch Trubisky if the season goes into the shitter.
- “If it’s going downhill, there’s no way I’m playing him. For what? So he can go out there and take a beating and he can get off to a rough start as an NFL quarterback?” said a man familiar with John Fox’s handiwork.
- ¡Hola Crimebeat! Second-year Jets WR Robby Anderson was arrested in Miami for scuffling with security & then resisting arrest. Because why go half-assed?!
- ESPN dropped Jerome Bettis today, probably because Trent Dilfer can’t even get laid off without taking a quality running back with him.
- Not cut by ESPN? Tim Tebow, who had his contract extended today.
- Wait – he’s not Roy Hobbs?
Finally, the NFL has purchased a 3% stake in Fanatics, the sports retailer that also runs its official online shop.
- This way, they make money off both the licencing of trademarks and the profits the company makes off of sales.
- Fanatics is the “master licencee” for the NFL, meaning that companies go through Fanatics in order to make branded products.
- allowing a sub-licencing fee to be collected
- FYI:
- MLB also has a 1.5% stake in Fanatics.
- Fanatics just bought Majestic Athletic, which produces jerseys for MLB.
On a quest for science videos of birds of prey today, I stumbled across a fantastic livestream of a Peregrine Falcon nest on a Baltimore rooftop, which became extremely interesting once the mother brought a rat up to feed to the chicks.
It looks like I now have an educational distraction to keep open on my desktop, one that knows to finish the Patriots its prey before celebrating feeding it to its young.
Anyway, the top of the Transamerica tower has never looked lovelier, or poop-strewn.
Enjoy!

I wanted an ice cream sandwich. Even though the deli on the corner’s open 24 hours, they lock the door when it’s late. That was enough of a buzzkill to not get an ice cream sandwich. So I cracked open a beer. It isn’t quite the same.
WHY CAN’T IT BE BOTH?!?!?
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY??!?
There’s gotta be an ice cream sandwich stout somewhere.
A shitty local chain made one here two years ago.

I need to get new walking shoes. It turns out that actually walking my fat ass wears out sneakers.
Wooo! How about dem Ice Slurs?
Did you mean BOO!!!?? Because then, yes. Because Washington sports fans are the worst, with apologies to Dok, tWBS, and the Commentists who are the exceptions that prove the rule.
The upside is I will watch zero of a Disney v. whoever or a NYR/WAS series, so I can spend MOAR time dedicated to my depressing reading and dark thoughts.

Is Matt Murray, like, ded? I mean, I guess it doesn’t really matter if you score 0 in a home Game 6, but Flower is gonna be covered in his own shit before the Game 7 puck even drops…
Fleury’s always been like this, though. His success has been entirely dependent on hot streaks and an absurd level of scoring talent.
yup. And every time, people seem convinced it will end differently, but it NEVAR does. Clock strikes midnight, and he shits all over the place. Which is why he’s good to have as a backup for a few games, sure. But you can ride him through an entire playoffs.
I barely understood Ice Footy at all, but even I can see this pattern.
So a ……………FLEURY OF VICTORIES???
Most Glorious el beisbol Cardinals’ Miguel Socolovich got one of them 3-inning saves we discussed awhile back.
This one was preserving a 9-3 lead and ending 9-4, so marginally MOAR save-ish.
When the Yanks win, first place in the NL Central will be wearing jorts!!
There was the guy who got the save in the 30-3 game.
There’s a lot of pressure in being under so little pressure ,, ppl forget that…

They’re bringing back Love Connection?!
