Your “The Lesson Learned Is ‘Not To Care'” Monday Evening Open Thread

Well, I believe I speak for the majority when I say, those were some real Week-1 preseason games.

Oh, and fuck Dean Spanos with a rusty shiv. μαλάκας!

NFL Notes:

  • The Lord giveth, and BLEERGH taketh away:
    • A week after signing a new five-year deal, Devonta Freeman is in concussion protocol.
      • He’ll sit out 1-2 weeks of preseason, just to be safe.
  • Andrew Luck may or may not be ready by Opening Day, based on when Jim Irsay is asked and whether the drugs have taken effect.
    • If all else fails, there’s Scott Tolzien.

  

What the Colts hope for, versus what they are probably getting.

  • You know the Jets are fucked when the headline coming from their preseason game is that Christian Hackenberg “inspires hope“.
    • Josh McCown concurs:
      • “I was so proud of Hack tonight because you have little hiccups here and there that happen, that weren’t necessarily his fault…he kept battling and played within the game.”
        • PLAN THE PARADE!
  • Tavon Austin will miss another week. I don’t think the Rams will recover.
  • Yay! Both the race card and his dad are about to enter the Ezekiel Elliott suspension drama.
  • The Bears picked up waived Bucs kicker Roberto Aguayo Sunday.
    • He’s competing with Connor Barth, whom the Bucs dropped last year when they drafted Aguayo in the second round of the 2016 draft, for the starting job.
    • A delightful coda to all this disappointment is that it will end up part of “Hard Knocks”, so it’ll live forever as a testament to Bucs’ GM Jason Licht’s ability to measure talent & get fleeced at the draft.
      • Aguayo’s kids will get to see their dad talked about in the most glowing terms by his former boss:
        • “We’ve ripped off the band-aid … and we’re moving forward.”

Finally, the 49ers have hired the second full-time female coach in NFL history. Katie Sowers has joined the team in a currently undeclared position.

  • Expect the message boards at PFT & Yahoo! to be full of supportive comments and congratulations.
  • She previously worked for the Falcons as an assistant receivers coach, and was also a scouting intern under Kyle Shanahan, her new boss.
    • “Sowers’ Kansas City-ties to Falcons assistant general manager Scott Pioli led her to [the Falcons] opportunity.”
  • Sowers played professional football, functioned as an adviser for USA Football, and was general manager of the Kansas City Titans of the Women’s Football Alliance. She had also been the senior recreation director and athletics director for the Kansas City Department of Parks and Recreation.

Tonight’s sports:

  • Beisbol:
    • Rays at Jays – 7:00PM | Sportsnet
    • Mets at Yankees – 7:00PM | ESPN / TSN
    • Orioles at Mariners – 10:00PM | Sportsnet1
  • Lucha:
    • WWE: Monday Night RAW – 8:00PM | USA / Sportsnet360
      • the “go-home” show before SummerSlam this weekend.

Remember, Week-2 of preseason season kicks off Wednesday with the Bills at the Eagles. I can’t wait for the tailgating.

I love this movie so much

theeWeeBabySeamus

I heard this today for the first time in a long time.
Fuck you Sirius/XM….dicks.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Serious Dicks.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Indeed. I’d be much better off if I stopped listening to their shit.
They always find a way to make things worse.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I had it for a while when I got my car, but mainly switched around the comedy channels, which helped at work. Not worth the monthly $ for me.

theeWeeBabySeamus

When I bought my truck, there was a trial of course. Then I let it expire for similar reasons. Last year before my cross country drive I got a 6 month for $20 deal, figured it was worth it to not have to find new stations every hour while driving.

Then I got hooked on a couple of stations.

But now….especially considering their technology can’t outsmart leaves…

Fuck ’em.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

They certainly like to send me emails.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Holy shit yes. They’re gonna “give” me a new vehicle/home package.

*Give means buy this shit and commit to a new subscription.
HEY ASSHOLES, I CAN’T EVEN LISTEN TO YOU NOW BECAUSE….LEAVES.

Yes, I sent them that feedback.

Just up your fucking power 5% dudes, it’s not that difficult. Leaves aren’t that smart.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Taking the night off of drinking. Regrets.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Me too. Amazing how difficult it is to write shitty shit while sober.
/looks at freezer vodka with a longing

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Fuck that; your Painters preview was very entertaining.

theeWeeBabySeamus

It was a piece of crap I churned out on no sleep and, well the second half on vodka fumes.

But I thank you for your kind words. Sincerely.

Nonetheless, you might want to save kind words until you read the crappy Bucs preview tomorrow. It’s truly gonna suck unless I start drinking soon.

Mr. Ayo

To the freezer! STAT!

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yeah, I’m leaning that way myself to be honest.

Re SB Nation: Part of the reason why I don’t write for a living is that all those sites typically don’t pay well and don’t pay on time. Usually they’ll try and weasle out of the pay check by saying the exposure is more than enough, as if that potential is going to pay for groceries and bills.

BOMP EE-DOO BOMP DEE.

Brocky

Lol, chicago wizard world comic con just advertised Michael rooker as from guardians of the galaxy, then the next frame presents Lennie James from the walking dead

is that some shade or just unintentional comedy

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I have no idea what you are talking about so I’m going with unintentional comedy.

Brocky

While Michael Rooker had a pretty extensive film and television career as an actor, his role on walking dead brought him a lot of mainstream exposure, which lead to a role in the highly recognizable guardians of the galaxy, in the mean time, walking dead has waned in its popularity,

so for rooker being advertised for guardians, but not walking dead, comes across as an intentional disassociation, as his former cast mate lennie james has no other choice

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Thank you; I may not remember this but for right now you have provided teh insight.

I’d bet her taste in bourbon is shit.

She clearly has no sense or taste for anything good or decent.

But she’s the type who will be offended if you aren’t impressed.

Regardless, Rand is a perfect hero for these twats because they’re all latent fascists like she was.

Shogun Marcus

blatant fascists like she was.
Fixed.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Eh, I had to be nice on the .0001% chance she was actually your wife.

I can’t imagine drinking enough bourbon to allow that to happen.

I had to look that up and now I hate her, you and myself, in no particular order.

Like much so-called Southern heritage, most of it didn’t start showing up until the people from the Civil War era was either old, dead, or long dead.

Related: the Confederate battle flag didn’t start appearing widely until the late 1940’s which times up with the second peak in the start and the beginning of the Civil Rights movement.

Unsurprised

Hmm.

comment image

Redshirt

Agreed. I’m all for heritage, but you have to at least have lived back then to know what your heritaging.

Unsurprised

Gee, I wonder what changed.

...

I consider myself more informed of history than the average person and I still discover stuff I was mistaken about all the time. So much of the history I learned was outright deceptive.

Gratliff

Sir, what part of “American exceptionalism” do you not understand?

Unsurprised

The exceptional part.

Wakezilla

Other “traditions” that people hold dear:

The national anthem at games. A sacred tradition that didn’t get played on a regular basis at pro sports games until the late 60’s.

In God we trust on money, also a Cold War concoction

What exactly am I looking at? What does this chart mean, exactly?

WCS

Jim Ross announces the Confederate statue’s removal:

https://twitter.com/bubbaprog/status/897254799841906688

Redshirt

Who was that?

Unsurprised

A dead traitor.

Redshirt

Ah, I checked. Its no one, so okay. If it was commemorating someone, than I would have a problem with it being torn down and disrespected by a mob.

Even Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis campaigned for unity and reconsolidation after the Civil War.

Unsurprised

Fuck them. They should’ve been hanged as traitors.

Redshirt

Right. Then lets hang the slave owning Jefferson, Adams and Washington next to them. What the fuck did they ever do anyway?!

...

It’s funny because if they’d lost the Revolutionary War, the British absolutely would have.

Unsurprised

But they won, and victors make the rules.

Unsurprised

They were shit humans. Their political service was admirable, which justifiably puts their horrible actions beneath their good work, but that doesn’t make them saints. Moreover, they won their war–and victor’s justice is fickle that way.

Lee and Davis were traitors who did nothing subsequent to the war that excuses their crimes and being on the losing side of history, the republic, and humanity itself.

Redshirt

Okay. Davis was a typical Southern, but for Lee…

Per Wikipedia: Lee generally supported civil rights for all, as well as a system of free public schools for blacks, but forthrightly opposed allowing blacks to vote. “My own opinion is that, at this time, they [black Southerners] cannot vote intelligently, and that giving them the [vote] would lead to a great deal of demagogism, and lead to embarrassments in various ways,” Lee stated.

Not giving them the right the vote is a mark against him, but two out of three ain’t bad

Last I say regard this. All I’m saying is just because they supported something that was completely evil doesn’t make them completely evil. If that the case, than every single German should’ve been killed at the end of World War II due to the fact that they supported Nazism.

Unsurprised

No, fuck Lee. He was the chief military commander in an insurrection against the United States. He doesn’t get a pass. He gave up his Army commission explicitly and purposefully to fight against his own men, his friends and colleagues, and his nation. He should’ve been the first one to the gallows.

Unsurprised

And we did enact a whole process of de-nazification that went after a whole lot of people, and would’ve been even more destructive if it weren’t for the fact that the U.S. and its European allies decided that the fascists were useful allies against the Soviet Union. It’s a shitty excuse, but the reality is that if we hadn’t already begun fighting the Cold War before the ETO was even pacified, Germany would’ve had a lot fewer people when we were done with it.

At least that had a rational, somewhat legitimate geopolitical strategy behind it. With Reconstruction, the U.S. led by incompetent and unfaithful boobs like Andrew Johnson just gave up and let people get fucked over for another century.

I’m of the mind that Sherman did nothing wrong and should have proceeded even further to annihilating as much of the CSA’s political, military, and economic structures as was humanly possible, and that the peace that was accepted should not have been without a reckoning that involved the hanging of every CSA political and military leader and the wholesale conversion of their economies to literally anyone else but those who financed and backed the CSA and secession.

Redshirt

Politics ended Reconstruction. Basically it was Bush v. Gore only worse and more tragic.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compromise_of_1877

...

Any narrative about Lee needs to be considered along side the fact his descendants are militantly opposed to his personal papers being examined by anyone they don’t personally approve of. If you are lucky enough to see those papers, your work will be subject to the Lee family’s personal approval.

In short, the image we have of Lee is carefully crafted by withholding lots of recorded information about him. I’m betting what’s in those papers shatter the idea of him as noble advocate of reconciliation.

JustStopDude

Grant.

Not the brightest protesters…but damn motivated.

Unsurprised

I read that it was dedicated to Confederate soldiers.

It would be hilarious…and completely possible thanks to the shit quality of American History education today, that people would knock over the wrong fucking statue.

Take that Rose! SHIT! ITS JOE NUXALL!

...

I’m a bit stunned that some very well educated folks still say things like “American beat the Nazis” and seem confused when you point out the Soviets did most of the work.

herodotus450

Soviets died most of the deaths, but would they have won without the us joining the European theater and/or knocking out Japan?

herodotus450

According to the first search result I found
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties
China lost 15 million plus and I didn’t even know they were a part of the war

Redshirt

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Sino-Japanese_War

Japan and China got a jump on things.

herodotus450

So technically…. we were allies with China. And since we’ve never officially declared war on them (or anyone) since, we still are!

LemonJello

Isn’t that true of the Nationalist Chinese (Taiwan/Taipei) but not necessarily so with the Communist Chinese?

herodotus450

Ssshhhh. We don’t mention the T-word in front of our new friends, the C-words.

Unsurprised

Yes. We were allied with Chiang Kai-Shek, not Mao. We originally supported Chiang’s claim as head of the Republic of China when they formed the UN and were giving China a permanent seat on the Security Council. But that didn’t work out.

But anyway, Chiang’s China was the China in the Allied Powers during the war.

Gratliff

Japan was a fucking problem with a capital fucking. They were historically fortunate to be playing second fiddle to the first ballot Hall of Fame evil of the Third Reich

Redshirt

Yes. If we weren’t tired from invading Germany, Japan would’ve been destroyed.

Hell, if we didn’t fight Germany, Japan would be the 51st-55th states right now.

LemonJello

There were plans and preparations made to invade the Home Islands – casualties and civilian deaths were estimated to be huge, and if the atom bombs hadn’t worked, we would have waded ashore and the devastation would have been incredible.

Redshirt

Yeah, but after Europe and the Pacific War, America was all tired out.

Also, story goes that all Purple Hearts issued today were the ones created for the Invasion of Japan.

...

There’s a non-zero change American military leaders do not go forward with an invasion. Far from thinking the war was about over, there were fears of meeting the Japanese matched man-for-man and having an invasion drag out for months.

Gratliff

Japan doesn’t get near as much hate for what they did to China in ww2 as they should, but I guess that’s what happens when you become the test subject for doomsday devices.

Redshirt

Agreed. I read some of it on Wikipedia and had to take a shower afterwards.

Wakezilla

It’s because the Japs laid a beat down to the Commies who were trying to oust Western ally Chaing Kai Shek

...

Japan was in China six years before Hitler ordered the invasion of Poland and Japan did some ghastly shit there. That government absolutely needed to be crushed unconditionally.

blaxabbath

Yeah, they’re the Japanese.

Jeeze- read a takeout menu sometime….

Wakezilla

Look up the Rape of Nanking

...

They had been pushing the Nazis back for more than a year before D-Day, so I’d say they had things in hand. Stalin screamed for Allied help on the western front and the USA was willing to jump in as early as 1942 but the Brits wanted to protect their Mediterranean interests before going into France.

Plus, Japan and the USSR had signed a non-aggression pact as neither wanted to deal with a second front. The Soviets did basically nothing out east until days before the bombs dropped.

Unsurprised

People are fucking stupid and short-sighted.

It’s the same kind of myopic self-serving righteousness of the idiots who act like racism was dead and gone until Trump began running for President. I am so sick of dealing with shitheads like that that I just give up. It’s not worth my time or energy. I can pass for 100% European. I have my own shit to focus on and I’ve been worrying about other people impotently and without any regard for myself for my entire life and it’s gotten me nothing, nowhere.

I don’t understand the spitting on and flipping the bird to an inanimate object – are they trying to hurt it’s feelings?

That’s why you piss on it.

Its rains on that statue. You think pee is more harmful than rain?

...

No, but I really need to piss.

Redshirt

Fine, but I still think it would be better sprayed on a Klan robe or a Nazi symbol.

My sentiments exactly.

JustStopDude

Huh…I just read that a representative from Dakota tried to propose a bill earlier this year (January) that would have made the Charlotteville rampage legal.

He proposed a piece of legislation that would waive a motorist’s liability for any damages caused by striking any person who was “obstructing vehicular traffic on a public road, street, or highway,” including injury or death.

This was a way to effectively make is deadly to protest the Sands Pipeline in Dakota.

Five other states tried to pass laws or are in the process of passing laws, that would remove any form of penalties or civil liabilities for motorists hitting protesters with cars.

Unsurprised

I am finally submitting to a take home sleep study.

This will be hell for me. I have to strap a bunch of shit onto my body, up my nose, ect. I also cannot sleep on my back without waking up in the morning numb from the waist down.

This fucking thing requires me to sleep on my back.

I’m contemplating just trying to fall asleep in my recliner outside.

Redshirt

Go for the recliner. That is the only way I can sleep on my back. The only time I feel asleep on my back was when I was so tired, I passed out.

LemonJello

I did the sleep study prior to retiring from the Green Weenie. Made a hell of a difference getting that CPAP. I never realized how little real sleep I was getting and just got by on a combination of coffee, alcohol and pure, unfiltered hate and discontent.

Now, I’ve been able to cut back on the coffee.

blaxabbath

Oh I realize I have sleep apnea…however you spell it.

I know if I get one and get used to it, its a game changer in the positive direction. Everyone I know says the same thing…its a bitch to get used to, but once you go CPAP, there’s no going CBack…

It takes some getting used to, without a doubt. Personally, I recommend the full nose/mouth mask – I tried the nose-only model and just felt it was really uncomfortable.

Story time: when I went for the first sleep study, I really had no clue how bad my sleep apnea was – my wife was the one that noticed how often/long my breathing stopped during the night. So, I get all wired up and get what I think is a normal night’s rest. Follow-up appointment with the doc and he tells me 1) I set some in-office record for having something like 350 “episodes” during a 7 hr period 2) I have something going on that he’s only seen in stroke victims. Oh, and at the follow-up/fitting for my CPAP, the tech tells me “I thought we were going to stop the study and go straight to treatment with you”

So, yeah, it’ll make a difference.

Fwiw, one of the nose only models wasn’t too bad for side sleeping. Ask them to fit you for all sorts of masks so you can choose the one that’s least uncomfortable for you.

Why not just get super high/drunk every night like the rest of us so to pass out/escape reality?

Good evening Imaginary Internet Friends!

This week, Clan LemonJello makes the trek from OBX across the wilderness of NC to deliver LimeJello and OrangeJello to their respective institutions of higher learning. Pray for us.

Uh. What happened? Did I kill a squirrel again?

I wonder if some enterprising young hot-taker out there is willing to run with the idea that women can’t be good football coaches because they are (on average) too short to see the field well enough.

•You know the Jets are fucked when the headline coming from their preseason game is that Christian Hackenberg “inspires hope“.

Ah, that brings back memories. So many instances of false hope. So many broken radios and holes in the wall.

Unsurprised

Fuck everything.

Give me some quotes or something so I can make Quotables caption macros and not have to think about the real world. Also because otherwise I don’t give a fuck about football.

There’s a lot of what-the-fuck in this photo.

We need a library for these with a dfo watermark. We’ll change the face of internet commenting.

I spent last night playing Until Dawn and watching Rick and Morty without even realizing that the Football Clippers were playing. It wasn’t until I caught up on yesterday’s open thread that I learned they lost horribly and had hilariously pathetic attendance. If every Sunday/Monday morning follows that pattern, it…

When you said “river” and “dancing” it made me think of the flickering patterns of flames on the Cuyahoga.

Are you killing all the teens or none of them? Or multiplayer?

First time playing so trying to keep everyone alive. If a second playthrough happens, that will probably change.

Wednesday pre-season football games are almost as dumb as Thursday night regular season games

Almost…
