NFL News:
- The darkness that enveloped the continent around 10:21 AM Pacific came as news emerged that Roger Goodell had signed a five-year extension to remain League commissioner.
- As the League is no longer a non-profit entity, details werent disclosed, but two things are certain:
- His is the only guaranteed contract in the League.
- Given that he’s reportedly earned over $210 million in the last 10 years, his average salary should be in the $25 million range.
- It leaves him in charge until 2024.
- As the League is no longer a non-profit entity, details werent disclosed, but two things are certain:
- Welp, it’s official – Trevor Siemian is your starting QB in Denver.
- Because the options were many, and Peyton wouldn’t return any phone calls.
- Anquan Boldin made the Bills regret trading Sammy Watkins by retiring today rather than spend the season catching bounced passes from Tyrod Taylor. As Deadspin eloquently puts it, two weeks in Bills camp will do that to a man.
- He says he’s retiring to spend more time devoted to his charity & outreach work.
- He won’t reverse course and return to play because “my passion for the advocacy work that I do outweighs my passion for football.”
- He says he’s retiring to spend more time devoted to his charity & outreach work.

#Vikings coach Mike Zimmer says he wasn't bummed about missing the eclipse. Moved inside because of it. "Hey, I only got one good retina."

Game preview: Giants at Browns
Probably the only time in recent memory the Browns will show up on a Monday Night, it’s likely because of their opponent, the Giants. Big Blue View doesn’t think much of the game or the Browns, already projecting beyond starting lineups to where the key backup battles will be and whom the Giants could trade for key backup positions. Why, they’re even excited about Eli hitting the field:
There might be an occasional deep ball that floats a bit, but all-in-all Eli Manning has looked terrific this summer as he enters his 14th NFL season.
Yessir, that’s solid fan support right there that won’t turn on a dime after getting pummelled by the Cowboys. No way, Jose!

THAT WAS FUN!
ALL THE TURNOVERS!
My TV just turned itself off in protest of this shitshow.
Oh Browns. Never stop being you.
Those last 2 plays. What in the actual fuck was that?
Welp. Much like Eli, it’s past my bedtime.
Later, Taters!
You can take the player off the Jets, but you can’t take the Jets out of the player.
I don’t know anything about dance but I think that flourish at the very end really ties the whole routine together.
I still wanna know where I can buy that snappy backless dress shirt.
Greetings from Oregon. Hey, did you guys know that there was an eclipse today?
No way. Next you’ll be telling me that Antonio Gates once played basketball. Pssh
I stared at that fucking sun for like three hours straight and didn’t see shit.
Does that mean there’s a full moon tonight?
Calling this “Pro” football is a bit of a stretch there Jon
The Browns season hopes in gif form.
Hey, Rex Ryan did color commentary on national TV without putting his foot in his mouth. It’s a miracle.
Wouldn’t that considered masturbating? For him at least.
Hopefully at some point during the season, he’ll say “Let’s go get a goddamned snack” into a live mic.
We can only hope
Sup.

Damn that was a good show.
Good evening, gents.
So tired. Must go for snoozies. Goodnight you wonderful bastards.
Nite-nite!
“flex muscle” sign?
“Browns are winning? What the…? That was not the plan!”
-GOP
Suzy…is she concussed? The teleprompter down?
Namath whispering into her earpiece from the control room.
Broadway Joe went in hard and fast and there was a collision of skulls.
Hey remember that gif that got posted that one time?
Heh heh yeah that was funny. Good times.

This picture raises so many questions.
A few of the answers are “Deserved to die.”
Mark Davis?
I remember.
?resize=315,210
Can I quote you on that?
“….. …”
How much of a boost do you think this game’s ratings are getting thanks to Trump’s speech?
Is that The Edge down front? What about the other The Edge?
Come on, Cleveland, just like the Pittsburgh game…
So…this is going to be a 3-0 snore fest isn’t it?
3-2 nail biter*
*you’re probably right
If you want to get all riled up before bedtime you can always watch the President’s address.
And by “riled up” I mean of course “Riley Cooper’d up” by which I mean have hateful racist rhetoric spewed at you.
No thanks, I went to boot camp already.
“Oh, you too?”
Sean Smith
I’m assuming we are going to atomic bomb the moon for stealing the sun today?
“M–O–O–N, that spells Armageddon!
The Brownsiest of penalties right there.
Jeebus, that was the longest meat-wagon golf cart I’ve ever seen!
Did the Browns just pull a guard on a PASS play? Oh Hue Jackson, your offensive play designs are so CRAZY!
(and stupid)
So Brock Lobster had a choice between football and basketball in college. It would appear he chose unwisely.
What are you talking about? I’m pretty sure nobody would have paid him $50 million to suck at basketball.
He could have always sucked for Phoenix, not sure about the 50 mil though.
Tom Coughlin agrees:
As a Gints guy, I’m gonna go with OBJ being the drama fella that he has always been.
I was a big fan of Deshone Kizer until he stole the number twenty.
I was a big fan of the color orange until November of last year.
It’s still ok in my book
DeShone Dickity
Young kid coming out of college with two years of eligibility. Concerns about his maturity and experience?
Can’t think of a better place to develop him than the mistake by the lake.
RIP Gints
And OBJ is lost in the tunnels.
Dear god everything in Cleveland is just…fucking….pathetic.
No juice box for Eli after that almost-INT.
Yeah I think OBJ straining his MCL and ACL…we don’t need to see more from him for the night.
Epic commentary there John.
OK. Fine. I’m not good with the Giants taking massive amounts of Ambien before the game but I trust the coaching staff implicitly.
So I assume Richard Sherman has a no-trade clause including NYG?
I don’t understand this eclipse thing am I the only one who notices the sun goes away for like 8 hours every day?
Nerd!!!!
Say what you will, the Browns are committing penalties like its the regular season.
Curling ads on my Canada channel. Oof!
You best not be besmirchin’ curling! That’s a paddlin’ round here.
It seems a bit early to me. But those curling fuckers are so eager to get things going.
I can see why.
And a warm and friendly greeting to you all, my Imaginary Internet Friends!
I have successfully traversed the mediocre state of North Carolina, delivering my spawn to their new abodes without being caught in any fast-moving currents or contracting dysentery, so I’ll call this weekend a success.
How are you all this post-ecliptic evening?
bout same.
Browns upcoming season in gif form…
Are we the guy on the liquor-cycle?
Fuck…a massive skunk just walked across my patio. I am not too big of a pussy to go outside and smoke.
I seriously don’t want to get sprayed, especially since I am giving training to customers all this week.
Think of how little they’ll bother you after class if you smell like you got sprayed
MY SOON TO BE FREE AGENT CLIENT, B-ROCK OSWEILER
Oh, we’re too good to go by our street name, Brock Lobster, now, are we?
We are really…really going to be made to suffer for that 2nd round draft pick…
Really polishing that Osweiler turd

Wow, I honestly thought this was a parody video. I looked it up and Holy Shit this was a hit single! I know the name JayZ (from crosswords) and I vaguely recognize the hook part, but wow if you told me this was by Weird Al Yankovic I would have believed it.
I have returned from a weekend of gluttony and light hedonism in Milwaukee. It’s a minor miracle i do not require a stent, statins or stations of the cross.
/looks at calendar…shit I gots a preview to write!
