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.”
Even better if I type it correctly: Gabbert getting a job ahead of Kaepernick was my "black ball" line of demarcation. Just crossed.

The No. 1 reason Colin Kaepernick is unsigned: He's not considered a starting-caliber player by any NFL evaluator anymore. Work from there.

- 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.

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.

You brought up Santa Clause 3: Escape Clause.
All you arguments are invalid!
Are you saying that is not a cinematic masterpiece, one that will live in the very highest categories of appreciation of the art form? That this very Tim Allen is not the Maurice Auguste Chevalier of our generation??
Oh, yes. Its on pace with Vegas Vacation Chevy Chase and Rocky V Sylvester Stallone.

STORNG TAEK ALERT!!1!!
They were just talking on the news about how junkies are stealing Imodium and taking 100-150 tablets at a time because there is an opiod in the formula that can give them a high. Side effects include heart, kidney & colon damage. Naloxone won’t work because it will stop the overdose but not fix the heart. The government solution is proposing to make it (& others) behind-the-counter orders.
At what point do we decide to just let the herd thin itself?
You’re not shitting me!
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?
True. No family members, but I’ve had students who have died during this epidemic. They should have known better, but felt the partying was more important.
So just let the multitude of people with addictive disorder wreak havoc then die early instead of focusing on the causes and treatment?
Nope – keep working on trying to provide what can be, with the resources available, but prioritize & maybe admit that we can’t save them all so lets save the ones we can.
Get on with gifs, man!
NOT NOW! I need opinions outside my employment & local social group.
And I will admit we need more rehab facilities. And doctors; and nurses, social workers, teachers, and …
But I’m also tired of the same junkies getting revived 3-4 times/week.
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.
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.
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.
Um, which will never happen.
God, I wish (the science, not the on-the-doorstep).
Thanks for the chat, Moose. I need other opinions sometimes.
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.
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.
Praying; convincing yourself you are doing something when you are not.

*Never watched it, not even sure I was aware of its existence.
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.
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.
Saving Grace
Was Superjail! conservative?
I just had a thought. A Conservative Show that shows a normal Republican family in the 2010s might be good…
…for a least a season until Executive Meddling turns it into what they think Conservatives is (makes Family Guy’s views of Conservative look compassionate).
I prefer my villains to be less comically evil.
Anyway, you’re describing an update to King of the Hill.
Hey, Conservatives aren’t evil…in theory.
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.
No they canceled that show?! I’ll miss that…

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?
What about driving? How can you possibly be able to concentrate on driving while you are driving?
Do you mean thrusting?
I know, you should be working on your short game!
… 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
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.
People are stupid, they suck, and shouldn’t be allowed to operate phones let alone multi-ton machines that produce enough force to liquify the human body.

Fine. Gettin’ any sleep there, pops?
Yeah, in 3 hour stints. I can change a diaper like a Nascar pit guy now. When decilitre wakes up in the night, I change him get momma what she needs and I go back to sleep.I figure the least I can do is change diapers.
Does the word “meconium” mean something to you now? 😀
Gramma Cola was here and with a C section 2 days in the hospital! I saw no meconium whatsoever.
I hope you made Grandma a nice THC pound cake!
I had some leftover cigarillos for her and as much wine as she could drink, which turns out is a lot. She is gone now sadly so slap some decals on me because I am the pit crew now.
That is some pretty weird porn.

“The fuck is wrong with this asshole?” – ghost of Richard Milhaus Nixon
Nixon is just pissed at what he can get away with and how loyal the party is to him.
If I didn’t live on this planet and was an outside observer, from say, Betelgeuse Seven, I would be morbidly curious about what it would take for Trump’s staunchest supporters to abandon him and/or for Congress to actually do something.
Cognitive dissonance; apparently the second strongest force immediately behind idiocy.
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.
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.

Upon consideration of an idea I had as I hit the button, I now want Kaep to ditch football to replace Feinstein and make Goodell’s and the rest of the owners’ lives Hell as a senator.
Yes, because Kaepernick has shown an willingness to have an open dialogue with people with opposing viewpoints rather than just make showy statements that do nothing to advance the cause or address the problem.

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