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:

  • MLB:
    • Rangers at Orioles – 7:00PM | TSN
    • Blue Jays at Red Sox – 7:00PM | ESPN / Sportsnet
  • WWE:
    • Monday Night Raw – 8:00 PM | USA / Sportsnet360
  • World Series of Poker:
    • 2017 Main Event – 7:00PM | ESPN2 / TSN2
  • International Friendly Soccer:
    • Real Salt Lake vs. Manchester United – 10:00PM | ESPN2

The answer to the headline’s question? ART BERGMANN!

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.

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.

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

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.

…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.

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.

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.

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!!!”

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.

4
Senor Weaselo

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

1
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.
