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!

LeBron & company beat the Raptors into the ground, so now Toronto is out of sports teams to follow. OH, SO SAD!
So I made myself one of them mac and cheese bowls and I put an accidentally-too-vigorous shake of that Reaper powder. I’m not dead!
I believe that’s a balk.
Roger Goodell fines her $15000 for this hit as “not in keeping with our Heads Up program.”
And James Harrison $50,000.

I got tickets the other day to see Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, which I know must sound like a class on contract negotiation led by Cam Newton to some, but is actually an awesome punk super group that covers pop and love songs.

They’re great.

I thought Chris Christie was a Yankees fan.
he’s bi now??
Anyway, the “Twin Picks” title below reminded me of the sickest, most amazing PFTC joke I’ve seen in years.
FUCK! I just missed out on a half-priced coffee milkshake at Starbucks. Oh, well. It’s probably for the best since I got a bacon cheeseburger and fries at Five Guys for lunch.
lovely screed:

I mean, Caps failure is tradition, but Penguins collapse is delicious.

Skyfather’s goose is cooked.
Can’t tell. But deduction (lightning…probably on powerline, etc) would tell me it’s a flying rat….aka the urban pigeon. nasty little fucks.

It hailed so hard here I felt like doing that on my track; probably 40 broken windows in our parking lot

Being a proud Manitoban, the “locals” are more apt to huffing lysol or drinking mouthwash. Which is why they are both locked up at stores. Sadly I amnot joking

I still dig Angie Harmon.
Eventually you need to just leave the body alone.
The more you dig it up, the more evidence you leave. Plus…teh smellz.

there’s a variation on Lewis Black’s “two penguins blowing each other” joke to be made re the Ice Stillers’ performance since that 2nd intermission of Game 5…
Still hot EVEN IN THAT JERSEY.
She should take it off anyway.

This Just In: Crosby hit with errant stick-playoffs canceled. Penguins awarded Stanley Cup. Maple Leafs given first overall draft pick.
Errant?
Sorry. “Truant”.
My bad; I thought it was Keoahikamakaua’s will.

“Gillooly” was one of the ’90’s greatest names.
Tomorrows substitute gig is Middle school, with the emotionally disturbed. So I guess I’ll be doing an all-school assembly.
I did not know about the gig at DFO HQ.
Good thing you got gun laws.
NHL Playoffs: Come for the excitement, stay for the abomination that is Sidney Crosby’s “playoff mustache”!
Would also accept “chocolate milk stain”.
Mario is letting him have chocolate milk now.
Eli is totes jelly that Sid gets “choccy mikk.”
This is why you should exclusively buy your sports merchandise from dubious sources in China.

Is anyone reading anything?
I just got through Kavilier and Clay and am now slogging through Pursuit of Power:Europe 18something-1914 though I’m going to dive into Chryssie Hynde’s “Reckless” later tonight.
Quite a few people would like to dive into Chryssie Hynde…
Reading is outlawed now. Creates non-sponsored thought. Now go watch dancing with survivor drag race rules.
Just finished “Journey Into the Whirlwind” – highly recommend this booky-book
Not that there is anything wrong with that…….
Gnats getting shelled in the first inning…4-0 and the O’s are still up.

Fucking excellent Dilfer burn.
Bettis WAS one of the less irritating experts, sometimes actually enjoyable, IMO.
Did you know he was from Detroit?
He did not play basketball like Jimmy Graham either
