I don’t really have anything to add. There’s no “NFL Notes” today. I put this post together in spurts over the weekend, because it’s a holiday and I didn’t feel like putting in much effort, like Mark Sanchez. I did put more effort into crushing beers, like Matt Leinart.
But I will point out that tomorrow, August 8, ESPNU will become “the Ocho” for a day, and broadcasting sports rarely seen on American TV and only mentioned in groundbreaking places like DFO’s “This Week In Violence” posts by The Maestro.
Courtesy SBNation, here’s the lineup for Tuesday on “The Ocho”, because ESPN’s site wouldn’t let me cut & paste the schedule:

I’M NOT READY FOR A NEW SCHOOL YEAR!
Anyone else just yearning for UBI right now?
Well this UTI is horrible- R. Mexico
Is that the plural of Uber?
Why is there a Get Shorty TV show now?
Presumably because Elmore Leonard died and his family wants to cash in.
I was wondering the same thing. The answer, as with much else, is that Hollywood is bereft of ideas.

Suck it, Anaheim.
“The public wanted it. Their fans demanded it!”
Did they, Pay-Per-View trying to get me to buy Mayweather-McGregor? Did they really?
to quote myself when my two young nieces are trying to vainly pull me into the next room for some sort of practical joke:
I have no idea on earth what you’re hoping to accomplish here
I actually give him credit for not dropping the cable and letting the weights crash.
Also, I really wish I was better at making gifs:
This is how my day went, just because I know you’re all dying to know, right Señor?
You’ve already gotten a pair of Zapdos? Damn non-eastern time zones, getting the changeovers while raids are still going. (3 Articuno, 3 Moltres, 1 Lugia here.)
not all in one day lol, unintentional deception on my part
Well the Zapdos were today, that’s what I meant. There was one kinda in the area late but my phone was basically dead from Moltres-hunting. And I wanted to make nachos.
but I also hunted a moltres today, and the way i interpret what i said, was that I caught all six of those in one day, which would be insane, even if you live in the city.
just glad i can give the game a rest for a while, its been fun, but man, puts a strain on your other activities, more than expected anyways.
…Until Ho-Oh, the beasts, Mewtwo, and Mew? Ho-Oh’s confirmed this summer.
I assumed I smelled toast because someone probably made toast. This conversation is making me rethink that assumption.
dang, i hadn’t heard of that. well, i get a small reprieve i guess
and i know realize that you weren’t accusing me of that necessarily lol. even when assuming things i’m arrogant.
Congrats, you have friends that play this stupid game.
[Can’t solo a legendary, grumbles, spins ‘Stop and wanders away]
This one I just like because….well…
Now if you’ll excuse me…
Timing is everything….
Ninja Warrior, Model Edition?
Only the pitchin-a-tent man shall pass.
On the catwalk, the catwalk….do a little turn on the…. OH FUCK!!!!!
/suspects angry pegging
how can it be angry if its consensual?
FUCK I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT GRAVITY!!!!!
(hey, at least she laughed it off…respect for that)
“Pfft. Amateur.” -Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West
“Guh.”
— every guy who’s been dragged to Wicked by his awful fucking girlfriend
There are many shows I need to see. (Hamilton, Sweeney Todd, the play version of 1984, Cursed Child when it comes here, Puffs, Spamalot…)
Wicked isn’t that high on the list.
Ahem…so Quinzee…whatcha think about this ya queeah?
Just wait until Edelman finds out about this.
NAE ROLLS!!

I need this
So do I. Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s still for sale.
Holy shit! They have it!! I just bought one!
I am really happy you have taken to Burnistoun
Hells Angels Oakland chapter president Sonny Barger imagines what it would be like to crack Mick Jagger’s skull right the fuck open:
Speaking of Stabby.
Nice.
Blue Water Cafe or Cardero’s for seafood; Pink Pearl for Chinese; Strange Fellows Brewing or Parallel 49 for drinks.
For some reason these guys were once considered “dangerous”
They had no regard for pool safety.
Those sick fucks were in the pool at least 20 minutes after eating
I hear that Mick Jagger once crossed a street without looking both ways.
The late 80s, 90s pop stuff you posted after I left never did really fill the hate box; by that time I had a cool cassette deck in the ol’ Toyota and had the choice to crank some Zep’ if’in I didn’t like what the local DJ was layin’ down.
You obviously have mistaken me for someone else, Sir. I have no idea to what you are referring. Please get out of my bathroom now, please. But take this with you…..

Jeff Sessions?
Inlaws day 3. Went golfing today with bro in law, and dad in law. Drank a lot of beer, had to pound one into the water on 18 to lose by 1. I will destroy dad in law on wednesday. Seems I now have control of the wine room, yet no sign of scotch room yet.
Don’t they have Home Depot and Liquor Stores up there? Build one, ya lazy fucker.
Also, no idea why I capitalized Liquors Stores, but fuck it, I’m not changing it.
We need to send Rex in for the save.
“Had to pound one into the water”
Did you feel light headed afterwards?
Is that Canadia for Chappaquiddick?
-T. Kennedy
Chinatown after 2 am. Seriously.
then go shit on Wakezilla’s porch so his wife makes him move to Calgary
Championship of bags? Is that where a bunch of guys with white sunglasses and barbed wire tattoos punch each other in the dick?
I’d watch that only if the loser was fed to a pool of baracuddas.
/also the winner
It’s cornhole.
/yup that don’t sound no better
//that’s a w”hole” other competition
Tell me more… -A Rodgers. Did it foar you.
I believe that’s Ro-Sham-Bo. The reigning champion, of course, is Eric Cartman.
I am trying to get a Michael Bluth clip from Dodgeball but every one is not you tube or doesn’t look like it will play. I have gone through 20.
espn could make The Ocho, just air “Dodgeball” all day every day, and it would be a top 50 cable channel.

God damn it. I got tipsy again. I have til 9 am to be awake and mowing my lawn. That is a good 3 hours after the construction equipment woke me up anyways.
Ooh, Moxie!
Please tell me the host is David Eckstein.
You Only Move Twice is on now.
That’s my all-time favorite episode.
Same here.

“Hmm. Why’s that guy turning of— FUCK!”
Is the plan trying to bunny-hop that last car? Looks like he might be giving it a shot and of course gets nowhere close.
One thing I liked about this weeks Game of Thrones was when every shitty blogger got the episode last week wrong where they said you are an idiot if you think she is going to Winterfell. All because none of those mother fuckers understands a callback line.
Oh … That’s what you were referring to. Yeah, everybody’s GoT takes are fucking stupid.
Usually you have to pay extra for that kind of action.
You think that’s the first time he’s be floored by a giant black cock-looking object?
Judging by the smile on his face: No.
Belch
[table knocks three times]
“Yo, whatchu want?”
Well, you had to take a shot.
That shore is a purty retainer wahl ya gots derrière!
-E. Smiff
A Star is Burns is on now. Excellent.
Starburns, great minor TV character or THE GREATEST minor TV character?
His name is Alex, dude.
Yep, still funny.
Yep, ticket to hell punched.
Yep, that was already decided long ago.

hell, you say? Have a university classic!

I see someone hasn’t checked in on Slack today.
#random
Trust me, you’ll love it.
Oh, I saw it, but once Hippo posted his song it had to be the next step.
I like the bag, btw.
No, I meant Hippo hadn’t seen it.
Sorry…reply fail.
I’m watching Most Glorous el beisbol Cardinals on the Slack-enabled computer, it shall have to wait. I checked this morning.
YOU NEVER SUPPORT ME IN MY LIFE’S WORK OF HATING RG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I WANT A FUCKING DIVORCE!!!!!!!
I might DVR that trampoline dodgeball shit, sounds bonkers.
So we had a government worker over at the house today for in interview with my dad about getting my brother top secret clearance in the army. I was gonna dress nice and act the part, had nice clothes out and everything. I was told I wasn’t needed. So instead I hung out in my room and wore gym shorts and an Aqua Teen Hunger Force T-shirt saying “I’m gonna get tore up” inside out because in case the guy saw me I didn’t want him to see it.
It is one of my rare T-shirts that isn’t already falling apart
If the fuckers don’t like Meatwad, then fuck their clearance.
Only thing woulda been better is a T-shirt saying “9/11 was an inside job”.
(Glad it went well for you, sincerely)
No Water-skiing Squirrel Championships?! And ESPN wonders why they’re failing…
*flips around* Shit, there are some good Simpsons episodes on tonight. Mr. Plow, A Star is Burns, You Only Move Twice, that’s a stacked roster.
Sharing “Mr. Plow” with my kids was a nice moment.
Having a form of Dodgeball on at 4 AM Eastern instead of during primetime is a bold strategy.
Boldly stupid. Like the rest of ESPN.
So, given there are a shit ton of cable channels, why isn’t The Ocho an actual thing???
Honestly I don’t know. Back when ESPN2 just started existing it would show really random shit all the time and I would watch. The poker craze even started there.
