Your “24 Hours to the Most Anticipated Exhibition Game Of The Year!” Wednesday Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

  • Injuries:
    • The Rams defence has suffered another fatal blow for this season: Dominique Easley has torn an ACL & is out for all of 2017.
      • It’s his third; he had two in college.
      • In his four-year career, 2016 was the only year he didn’t finish the season on IR
    • Giants WR Sterling Shepard either rolled or tore up his ankle in practice Wednesday.
      • The ambiguity comes from viewing the injury versus waiting for test results.
  • Apparently, the impediment to the Ravens signing Colin Kaepernick is owner Steve Bisciotti.
    • He is apparently quite upset both that someone leaked his name and that John Harbaugh has been so effuse in wanting him on the team.
      • It’s putting him in the role of “bad cop”, which is something good friend Ray Lewis is uncomfortable with.
      • If Harbaugh keeps pushing the point, it could be an issue at season’s end, if the Ravens fail to make the playoffs.
  • In the “I thought he was already dead” department, famed Notre Dame coach Ara Parseghian died Wednesday morning, aged 94.
    • He won two national titles in 1966 & 1973, and retired with a record of 95-17-4.
      • The 1973 Sugar Bowl victory over ‘Bama is considered one of the best college games of all time.
    • He is generally considered the man responsible for returning the Irish to national prominence.
  • Does this come under irony: A lack of coaches has forced Vince Lombardi High in Green Bay to suspend its program for the 2017 season.

Finally, per ESPN, for the second year in a row, the Cowboys start the season the League leader in suspensions.

  • This will cost the Cowboys a minimum of 25% of the three players lost salary – about $91,000.
    • Furthers suspensions will cost the Cowboys 33%.
  • The suspension of Damontre Moore last week pushed the Cowboys up to three suspended players, exceeding the minimum, and no doubt making the ghost of Al Davis laugh.
    • The funny part is that Moore was suspended for something he did while with the Seahawks.
  • Three more Cowboys are possibly facing suspension: Ezekiel Elliott, Nolan Carroll and Damien Wilson. That could bring the fine to $500,000 — the maximum, per NFL rules.

In case you didn’t catch Big Daddy Drew’s WYTS on the Jags yesterday, he threw in a Door Flies Open reference:

HOWEVER, they did make one notable hire after anointing Marrone permanent interim head coach…

 (Ford Crown Victoria door flies open)

OHHHHHH SHIT YEAH HE’S BACK! Yes folks, the glory days of the Tom Coughlin era are here once more. Early meeting times! Hands on hips! Yelling!

I’m seeing that as a shout-out to his interview with Yeah Right‘s interview with Drew last Sunday.

Cool story bro alert!
This guy, Jake Jabs was a fixture on TV ads for his furniture stores, always using animals and family members, awkwardly of course. Not quite as hated as Dealin’ Doug car commercials, but close. One night some friends and I were at a bar and it turns out he is friends with the owner and frequents this place. Jabs gets up on stage and plays guitar and sings with some woman……. I was as close to murder that night as I would have been if Peter King would have showed. After some heckling I was asked to leave.

Cool story bro alerted over.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

That’s not even a good story.

I’ve always loved this song and never knew the words. You have just blown my mind.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Rock the Catbox goes really well with this song.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Funny you say that. Friend from college named his cat “Shareef” for that very reason.
He’s an idiot like us.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Probably in my top five fav all time songs.
Agreed about the words tho. When I first finally understood them all it was eye opening.

I just thought of a weird question. Instead of Alzheimer’s will Trump get Altzheimer’s where he forgets alternate memories?

I’m out of weed.
This is probably a safety issue for the general public locally.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I’ve got some extra, whiskey and whisky too.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I’m thinking tequila tonight.
This could get ugly.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Moose; Hey, you wanna go to a party tonight? There will be a lot of drinking, a lot of fightin’ and a lot of fuckin’.
tWBS; Well, two out of three ain’t bad, I’m don’t really enjoy fighting that much. Where is it at?
Moose; My house.
tWBS; Really? Who all is showing up?
Moose; You and me…….

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

So yes; plenty of tequila too.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Ummmmm….I might have to clarify a point first.

Are you an angry pegger?

blaxabbath

I got a bunch of weed

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Did you get the novel finished?

comment image

theeWeeBabySeamus

Nah. I’m just trying to create kontent for you assheads to dickjoke to.
I missed my chance at a publishing deal a few years ago so my trilogy and short stories shall die on the vine. Which is fine.

That stuff I write for me anyway. So, good enough.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

OK, ’cause in two hours ’bout all you could produce novel-wise is a Stephen King ……..

Senor Weaselo

Was the twist “It was his sled”? Because that’s already been done before.

theeWeeBabySeamus

There’s a “Rosebud” joke here, but I shouldn’t be the one to make it.
I’m already in enough trouble.

ArmedandHammered

Considering some of the books I have seen on Amazon, you should try self-publishing there. I mean. After reading a lot of your kontent here, you would be a lot better than 80% of the stuff on there.

WCS

@midnight has an all Kids In the Hall panel.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

Take my cheap +1.

Senor Weaselo

In “Good job dumbass” news I just realized I got on the wrong train, but fortunately I realized it at Columbus Circle (a one-stop detour) and not, like, 168th Street (go through the entire Upper West Side and Harlem). So I’ll still get home by 12. Maybe.

ballsofsteelandfury

Following a hot chick, huh?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Her name wasn’t Brittany, was it?

Senor Weaselo

I’ve never been that drastic, but it does work if we get off at the same stop. And also on the same bus. Which happened once. Added her on FB, saw she had a bf, so I didn’t pursue, never bumped into her on the bus again.

This was not one of those moments. The only thing I chased today was a Moltres on the way to rehearsal. (Which I caught, so score one for me.)

ballsofsteelandfury

You kids today crack me up. BF…

SMDH…

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

she’s a fullback?

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

At a bar in Rhode Island, and both NESN and ESPN are on two TVs right next to each other. There have been multiple moments when I can’t tell them apart.

Did anyone read the transcript of the wsj Trump interview? Holy shit.

Apparently tonight’s Last Week of @midnight has Kids in the Hall. Make of that what you will.

/Missed Harmon last night due to getting home late

Unsurprised

I haven’t gone outside all day and I have no excuse. So hopefully I won’t be back until most of you are asleep.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I spent about an hour today filling out 3 different 360 reviews. What are the odds that was a complete waste of time? 90%?

Unsurprised

Easily.

...

Depends on the company but it’s definitely over 50%.

Unsurprised

In tactical lawyering news, I just learned that A Tribe Called Quest did the “right” thing and got clearance from Iggy Pop to use Walk on the Wild Side for Can I Kick It, but the clearance cost is 100% of whatever Can I Kick It earns. So ATCQ would have almost certainly been better off not getting the clearance, getting sued, and settling with Iggy. That’s fucked up.

Goddamnit. The Brightest Timeline is where dipshit falls into the ocean and his corpse is eaten by seals.

Yeah, I hate Parcells, too

Unsurprised

I don’t know why I hate Brady so much, but I really do want him to die.

He’s a dumb jock who is celebrated as something special when he’s nothing more than a dumb jock.

blaxabbath

Because he’s a cheater and the false mainstream narrative doesn’t just minimize his cheating but, worse yet, denies/justifies the cheating while applauding the results of his cheating and accredit that success to not-cheating.

Nothing at all. But sometimes that dragon got himself an empty belly.

So I finally got around to redoing ‘my’ room (had to tear down a wall, relocate the fan, paint, etc) and was looking for some furniture online (I’m only ponying up for an overpriced desk chair) and, to make a long story short, Walmart.com has seriously put together a good search engine. I found the same armchair for $100 less than wayfair and free shipping.

Going to Walmart is a terrible experience that will never be lessened — but their take on e-commerce is actually pretty solid.

Brick Meathook

I totally loved the Crown Victoria and would rent them whenever I could. I drove across the Arizona desert in one at 110mph on cruise control and it was like sitting in someone’s living room. I would occasionally crack open a window just to hear the roar, and then shut it again and there would be silence.

I was introduced to the Crown Vic on a free ride in one many years ago, courtesy of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. I exercised my right to remain silent except for asking the question “what kind of car is this?”

scotchnaut

I want to know more about you.

SonOfSpam

My grandparents had a ’77 Crown Vic that, if I remember right, was legally classified as a yacht. Each door (of course it was a 2 door) weighed approximately 3 tons.

nomonkeyfun

That is one thing Detroit was always the best at. Long distance comfort on a middle class budget. Crown Vic’s, caddies, Buicks, all great.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

A 1976 Crown Vic trunk hold two large bodies and a cooler.

Ah, so they tell me.

What are “things Olivia Munn said about her panties” ?

blaxabbath

I went to high school with Parsegian’s grandson (also named Ara) and will just say that their entire family is upstanding people.

SonOfSpam

Yeah, but they’re probably distantly related to the Kardashians.

Unsurprised

Nothing wrong with that.

Even as a Bears fan, this is the better Sterling and the better Sharpe:

The play at 0:41 is beautiful.

How many times did he break his fingers because DongSlinger always had to throw as hard as he could?

Game Time Decision

Sterling Sharpe is the reason why i still cheer for the Packers. As a younger kid, loved watching him.
