Your “What Fresh Hell Is This?” Monday Evening Open Thread

The first stills for the HBO Sandusky movie came out today, and the best comment at Deadspin was about how it’ll be the second time Pacino has played a blind guy.

NFL News:

  • Today was franchise-tag day for teams to negotiate deals or leave players alone for the season.
    • Winners include Kirk Cousins, Le’Veon Bell and Trumaine Johnson, who will each play one year at at Top-5 salary & then either hit the marker or attempt to negotiate fresh deals.
      • If Cousins gets franchised a third time, his salary will leap to $34 million.
      • Bell apparently wanted more than LeSean McCoy’s five-year, $40-million deal.
  • The Panthers fired GM Dave Gettleman today.
    • Bitter ex-Panthers reacted accordingly:

  • Zeke’s had more fun in Dallas bars. He’s being investigated for punching someone in the face/nose during an argument between two groups of people.
    • This happened in advance of the NFL deciding upon his penalty for spousal assault allegations from last year, which surely doesn’t help the cause.
      • Obligatory.
    • On the Zeke front, SBNation’s Cowboys blog had a delightful post earlier about how the League now just set the bar for the “unprovable accusation” at one-game, allowing vindictive partners to effectively blackmail the accused a paycheque.
      • They’ve since realized the error of their ways meekly apologized for being douchebags.
  • Finally, in what seems like a very sancimonious “FUCK YOU!”, the Lions have extended an offer to Megatron to come to training camp.
    • It’s very obviously a trick so they can try & reclaim more of the money they feel he should pay back.

Tonight’s sports:

I woke up on my own without beeps at 5 am. I had hoped they were finally done with the one corner next to my house after 3 years. Still a pit and the equipment is here now.

Wait, we’re doing a DFO death pool? Why not a tontine?

After obsessing way too much about it, here goes: Washington can only lose with this Kirk Cousins franchise tag business.

Yeah.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

At least the tag business is costing them way more straight out money than if they would have signed him when he was an “unknown commodity”, when it was pretty clear Griffin wasn’t the deal. They are not convinced; but they only have much worse choices at this point.

THAT’S JUST GOOD SITUATIONAL MANAGEMENT.

Don T

I agree. It’s the safe, expensive bet. Good for Cousins. He’s the bizarro Flacco.

WCS

How coked out were the movie executives that decided, “HELL, YES, AN ‘ANNABELLE’ PREQUEL IS A GREAT IDEA”?

theeWeeBabySeamus

We’ve got coke?

Mr. Ayo

No, we’re just big fans of horizontal mirrors.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I have no idea of the concept. I rank their coked up more then the people they had tied up for the movie.

WCS

I don’t what’s weirder: the fact that Annabelle was just plain shitty, or, it’s sequel (somehow) is apparently… really good?

Of course, Cleveland a pro sports championship, and Trump is President. This is the Upside Down.

By the way, picking me in the DFO Death Pool would be a bad choice. I wake up every morning feeling a little bit disappointed that I didn’t die in my sleep. This ALONE guarantees that I will live to be 90, because God is a spiteful prick.

So I’d figure I’d throw out a story of the day since no one else is saying anything. I clomped down the stairs today, walked like Frankenstein’s monster into the kitchen (still have hurt ankles). My dad was making breakfast. Got Ice from the fridge. Got a soda. Then my dad saw me and completely freaked out like I was someone trying to kill him. Yelled like I had stabbed him or something. Told me to never sneak up on him again. I just walked into the kitchen. He then yelled at nothing.

That happens to me a lot. I’m pretty sure it’s cause I don’t have a soul.

There is talk of a DFO death pool and no one is picking me? WTF. I thought I was gonna seize to death last night

King Hippo

ahem, Heath Ledger anyone??

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The word “seize” triggers me after all those 3rd and long defensive holding penalties on the Raiders.

Shogun Marcus

Did you eat yet? Answer had better be yes. Food, not alcohol!

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I was good yesterday. Still had a thing happen at like 2 am

*actually I think it was much earlier than that. I would have to check the other post to confirm a time*

Shogun Marcus

Boo. Unlike.

Brick Meathook

I picked you.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Thank you. I like this guy

ballsofsteelandfury

To be fair, I didn’t want to skew the odds. Buy low sell high, that kind of thing.

…then either hit the marker or attempt to negotiate fresh deals.

Fun fact: “hitting the marker” is what Ryan and Todd have to do with an errant Sharpie when they have unable to negotiate any fresh deals lately.

And this is a bad thing how?

I’ve got a little good news to share. Got the lab results from my annual checkup today. As most of you know I’m not exactly a young person. The doctor looked at the results and said “If you were to hand these results to any doctor or nurse practitioner with the age of patient covered up they would probably say these are the lab results of someone in their 20’s.”

He cleared me to travel and even “Climb Machu Picchu.” He said I should live into my 90’s and should have an excellent quality of life getting there.

I told him “You know, I really do try to be healthy.”

He said “No. You’re not trying. You’re DOING! Keep it up.”

I feel so good that I’m going to pound the shit out of some alcohol when I get home tonight.

No joke. These were the best lab results I’ve EVER had.

That’s pretty goddamn cool.

ballsofsteelandfury

Good job, my friend! Well done!

laserguru

My cholesterol is 164.

164!!!!

That’s outstanding! I always say, what’s in your mind means more than what’s on the grill.
I don’t always say that, actually that was the first time, but you get the idea.

laserguru

I feel so good I want to get high!

herodotus450

Shit, I ALWAYS pick the wrong person in the death pool.

ballsofsteelandfury

Oooh! A DFO Death Pool! Should we post odds? My bet will vary depending on whether Sill knows where Blax lives.

If he does, I pick Sill.

herodotus450

Picking cbque would be cheating I think

Senor Weaselo

Padre Weaselo is motorcycling his way around fuck-if-I-know and found a store called Condoms Galore. I feel like I need to ask why you need an entire store for condoms. I can see an aisle, but a whole store? That seems excessive.

ballsofsteelandfury

and now we see why Senor Weaselo is not getting laid as often as he would like…

Senor Weaselo

I could probably do a series on that, it would be the antithesis of tWBS’s Tina EFF!

ballsofsteelandfury

DO IT!

Call it “Stealing Chastity from the grasp of Promiscuity”

Do they carry some of the, um, smaller sizes? Asking for a friend.

JustStopDude

I have to admit, I once pissed off a group full of people when I tried to make the point that being a famous athlete is not necessarily a good thing when it comes to getting into legal trouble.

Especially if you are black athlete, lots of prosecutors want to make their nut off of sending off an “uppity” athlete.

Lots of shit that would never cost the average person their job, will fuck up an athletic career because so many parents scream “think of the children!!!”

It can either be really good, or really bad. Tis rarely neutral, is the thing.

On the carrier, I shit you not, we would get grade “D” meat. It was the meat that the Air Force purchased, but expired, and since the USN had lower standards, it could be sold again to us.

I shit you not, the outside of the boxes would say “FOR USN AND INSTITUTIONAL USE ONLY”.

Needless to say, I would go vegetarian every deployment. I’m not sure if they still do it, but this was the case in the early to mid 2000’s.

Senor Weaselo

So the Air Force gets Grade C meat?
/Something about an ejective diarrhea joke

JustStopDude

I honestly think it goes from A straight to D.

Carcass maturity
Approximate live age
A
9 – 30 mos.
B
30 – 42 mos.
C
42 – 72 mos.
D
72 – 96 mos.
E
> 96 mos.

I think somehow sitting on the shelf ages the meat age or something. Maybe? Hell if I know.
