Your “All This Talk About Black Balls Is Going To Summon Either Nat Turner or Buddy Cole” Thursday Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

  • Josh Gordon has been denied in an attempt to be reinstated.
    • No reason has been given. Gordon last played for the Browns in 2014.
    • He can reapply in the fall.
    • FYI: his CFL rights are owned by the Calgary Stampeders.
  • In reinstated player news, Daryl Washington was cut by the Cardinals, 16 days after his reinstatement & 11 days since the Draft.
    • Mostly because they have younger, cheaper players on-hand.
  • Victor Cruz will be visiting the Jags on May 23rd.
    • Maybe Shahid Khan wants to learn how to salsa?
  • Much like the Seahawks aren’t trading Richard Sherman, the 49ers aren’t trading NaVorro Bowman.

Finally, Blaine Gabbert signed a one-year, $900K deal with the Cardinals.

  • While this would normally be reason enough to proclaim the Cards are “going with the Flow”, we now live in an alt-facts world.

  • Most reaction to, again – a Blaine Gabbert signing, has been, “KAEP’S BEING BLACKBALLED!” or “Kaep’s just not a good QB anymore.”

  • It’s getting to the conspiracy point where reporters are creating theories & questioning who is creating & disseminating disinformation.
    • Even Florio, who is smaller than Peter King and thus able to better fondle Roger Goodell’s balls, has started examining the facts and finds evidence to suggest a coordinated attempt to have no one consider Kaepernick for a vacant position.
  • Other notable players who accuse the League of blackballing them in recent history include Ray Rice, Greg Hardy, and Johnny Manziel – although all three were pretty much self-induced.

Tonight’s sports:

Nationally, it’s pretty thin…

  • NBA: Game 6: Spurs at Rockets – 8:00PM | ESPN / Sportsnet1
  • MLB: Mariners at Blue Jays – 7:00PM | Sportsnet

Hopefully, you can something more enjoyable on local TV.

The NHL starts the third round on Friday – Preds at Ducks.


I’m seeing U2 tomorrow night – The Joshua Tree Tour 2017.

I saw the last Joshua Tree tour in 1987; that t-shirt sure don’t fit anymore. I’m scared that if I drink enough I’ll wake up in the desert, with Balls & Low-Commander poking me with sticks. At least, I HOPE THEY’RE STICKS!.

It’s 2017 and I still have no idea who killed Laura Palmer. Considering the new show starts soon, I should probably figure that out.

Watching Con Air and I just realized something. Bad Guys plan essentially involved on getting the gun from the pilots’ lockbox. What if the pilots decided not to open the door, giving them access to the only gun on the plane. True, the guards are as good as dead, but so are the convicts when that plane hits the tarmac.

Well, the physical addiction produced by prescription painkillers that are making the pharmaceutical industry huge profits might be a place to start. Doesn’t sound like you have had a family member who is an addict. You think these people want this?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

So just let the multitude of people with addictive disorder wreak havoc then die early instead of focusing on the causes and treatment?

blaxabbath

Get on with gifs, man!

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Reviving is not treatment.

We would not need more rehab facilities, doctors, nurses, social workers for this particular plague if there was more effort put into the brain science of addiction and more put into research for alternative less or non-addictive sources of painkillers.

Who am I fucking kidding; logical policy will never be put in place. Let ’em die on your doorstep.

Redshirt

You do have a point. Work on the cause (treating and preventing addiction) as well as the effect (relapse).

The sad fact is that you cannot save everyone. Addiction is like a pit.. You can help pull them out of a pit, heal their wounds from the fall, show them where the pit is, tell them to how avoid it, and repeat the process if they fall back into the pit, but sometimes the next fall will be the last.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

That is avoiding the legal and pervasive distribution currently being practiced and the science of brain chemistry involved in the addiction itself; what you describe is an ineffective bandaid. I am not suggesting saving “them all”, I’m suggesting a logical scientific based policy to provide effective long term solutions.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Um, which will never happen.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I would need other opinions, but I’m always right.

Just kidding; I was wrong once when I doubted that I was right once.

JK again.

The profit and emotional motives will govern policy; what I’m advocating would be a small percentage of enacted policy. I’m pissing in the wind. I also appreciate the chat.

Redshirt

Typical government response: punish all to save a few.

The best you can do is help those who are addicted, and pray for them to get the strength they need.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Praying; convincing yourself you are doing something when you are not.

JustStopDude

Alex Jones is saying its a conspiracy by left wing ABC because it was a conservative show.

Methinks the fact that its ratings were bottoming out and that the salary for the crew was fucking significantly high is the more likely cause.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

A conservative sitcom?? Like Reba or whatever that was?

Thing is Alex Jones always has a strong foundation for his statements in science, logic, verifiable and back-checked, multisourced facts.

I just had a thought. A Conservative Show that shows a normal Republican family in the 2010s might be good…

Anyway, you’re describing an update to King of the Hill.

Conservatism is based on obedience to those with power, essentially might makes right, because the future is scary and the past was always better. Edmund Burke was literate and eloquent, but a scared goon nonetheless.

Why is it illegal to drive while using your cell phone but it is completely acceptable to eat an ice cream cone while behind the wheel?

… eating an ice cream cone while driving is like trying to tie a sailor’s knot with your mouth and one hand. While going 70mph. And driving a car.

Once, during rush hour on I-40, I saw a woman reading a fucking book whilst driving 70 mph

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I have seen that, a cop typing away at his laptop, guy finishing off a 1/2 gallon carton of OJ with carton full in front of face, doing nails, doing make-up, shaving.

A friend got hit from behind and it fucked up her neck; the lady got out and was blaming her while she had a huge streak of eyeliner completely across her forehead. People in 3,000 lbs pieces of steel…..

In Drive Thru, I once handed a fat lady 2 ice cream cones who drove off. I was going to call the police, but I just figured I’d let Natural Selection play its course.

Cognitive dissonance; apparently the second strongest force immediately behind idiocy.

Unsurprised

Nothing. There is literally nothing they won’t protect him from.

Especially because conventional methods of protest and grievance don’t work, and no one with any reach will contemplate just how radical things must change to get their attention. I mean like a nationwide general strike. But that will never happen, so fuck it.

I actually had no problem with the pledge of allegiance stuff, but they asked the dude follow-up questions…and he’s dumb as a box of hammers. Much better role models on social/racial justice issues out there.

And yeah, he’d be signed if he wanted to take $900K and be a backup liek The Flow.

Seems a fairer comp is Catler or Fitz, low-end starters who ain’t nobody want, at least until a catastrophic pre-season injury or three.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

So because he is not the sharpest knife in the drawer he should just shut up and stand up?

From the news available no team is offering him a back-up role either; we don’t know if this is true or not.

This is an especially bad take given that Nixon and Kissinger were out finding the best ways to napalm civilians at the time.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

No because he’d actually have to make showy statements that do nothing to advance the cause or address the problem. His outrage is far too muted and without scapegoats that will gather the ignorant masses to feverish outrage themselves.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

“Showy statements”; quietly sitting during the national anthem. :Nothing to advance the cause”; bringing attention to the issue of unarmed black people getting killed by police at a 20x factor than whites and donating time and money to various charities involved with the issue. Do those with opposing viewpoints say unarmed black males being killed, detained with due cause, searched, targeted, etc. say that that is happening at just the right pace or not enough. I’m not saying he is a genius, but he saw and experienced racism and felt he had to act in some way and he did.
