Your “Let’s Just Agree to Disagree” Tuesday Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

  • ESPN says ankle sprain, but OBJ & the Giants are getting an MRI just to be sure.
    • And just to pour on the salt, PFT questions whether OBJ should have held out, to avoid the preseason bumps & bruises…and given them copy to talk about his petulance.
  • Cam Newton is expected to start this Thursday.
    • Likely, he gets a quarter, since they don’t want to push it, since the first two games have proven they’ve got nothing else.
  • Chuck Pagano – DEAD MAN WALKING!
    • “Scotty didn’t play bad. It takes 11 guys hitting on all cylinders offensively, defensively and special teams. So Scotty did not play bad.”
    • And with no timeline for Andrew Luck’s return, it’s pretty much too late in the process to consider bringing in someone like Colin Kaepernick at this point.
  • Hue Jackson will end the nation’s speculation & announce the Browns starter possibly as early as Wednesday.
    • It’s either Brock Ostweiler or Cody Kessler.
    • DeShone Kizer will likely be groomed for a late-season takeover.

Finally, it appears Rex has a crush on someone with quick feet & likes crab legs. Tonight’s “Hard Knocks” has the first meeting between two guys who have said many, many things that have had them called into account.


Tonight’s sports:

  • Baseball:
    • MLB:
      • Jays at Rays – 7:00PM | Sportsnet
      • Rangers at Angels – 10:00PM | ESPN / TSN
      • Brewers at Giants – 10:00PM | Sportsnet1
    • Little League World Series:
      • U.S. Elimination Game – 7:30PM | ESPN
  • WWE:
    • SmackDown – 8:00PM | USA / Sportsnet360

We’ve made it halfway through preseason.

HOORAY!

Why is my cat asleep on bald Dave Thomas?

Okay, here’s the secret reference from copied from my jags preview, I apparently tried way too obscure on this one:

Okay, so folks here’s the secret reference, In Hindsight, I’ll admit it was way too fucking nerdy for a sports Site, but I had made the exact joke before, to some positive response, the secret reference was:

They’re like an alien species that you forget about if you look away

this is a shout out the doctor who villainous aliens called the silence, who’s gimmick is that they can’t be remembered, so they subtly manipulate events around them with sinister intentions

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0e1NhF-uG4

The joke I was going for is that the Jags were so forgettable, that if you’re not looking directly at them, you can’t remember them.

This was the prize: a brillaint photoshop done on MS paint:

Seems like a well-behaved crowd. Let’s stay for a bit and see how this goes.

blaxabbath

In all seriousness, I was downtown earlier today and, look, Phoenix knows how to handle crowds. We’ve had Final Fours, Super Bowls, Trump/Clinton rallies, etc. Additionally, it’s about 105 out there on the pavement. Nothing went down and nothing will go down.

Doesn’t mean the crowd isn’t a bunch of Nazis…just that tonight isn’t the night.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

His sycophants do anyway.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Kind of amazing how a cult of personality works.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Word has it he also knows how to throw a golf ball (out of a bad lie and onto the fairway).

blaxabbath

I’d not put it past him to pocket the ball, drive his cart right up on the green, then reach over and say he must have holed it (only reaches to about 4 inches above the hole before putting his hand in his pocket with the shadow ball).

Someone should have told her that Taco Bell doesn’t really count for Taco Tuesday.

Senor Weaselo

I forgot to mention yesterday’s “kids these days” moment I had. Kids these days don’t know about Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner, because I was explaining violin shifting (I think) and used that and my student just looked at me completely blank, even as I described it.

So I’m driving around today, running errands. My nephew is with me, and he’s telling me how much of a thing he has for Winona Ryder. Not five minutes later, this song comes on the radio. I almost had to pull over I was laughing so hard. I think I shit myself a little, LOL.

Little did he know that barely 10 years later, while being cocooned on LV-426, he’d be begging to be back in Korea.

Then he had to deal Tom Cruise and his homoerotic bullshit in Miramar.

Poor bastard’s been thru some shit.

/head explodes trying to decide which joke to make first

theeWeeBabySeamus

It takes 11 guys hitting on all cylinders offensively, defensively and special teams.

Chuck no so good at teh math. That’s more than 11 guys.

Senor Weaselo

“The only math that matters is counting by 6s. And then adding 1 or 2 each time. And occasionally 3 for a field goal.” -Someone, probably. Maybe the U*NC football department?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Shit man, you keep saying shit like that and I might send you those peppers after all.
(also, how ya feeling?)

Senor Weaselo

I’m doing all right. Gotten back into the gig groove, got a follow-up on Thursday, and then maybe they’ll let me have those peppers! Because I miss them. And cheese. There’s a thing of 18-month cheddar that Madre Weaselo got me like a day before this all started and I need to devour the ever-loving shit out of it.

theeWeeBabySeamus

We’ll see ’bout the peppers, they’re coming in very nicely.

But don’t tell Hippo ’bout the cheese. He’ll disown your ass really damned quickly. But if it happens just start yelling “Everton” or “U*NC Sucks” repeatedly. That will confuse him and you can escape unharmed.

Senor Weaselo

It’s similar to the peppers, I prefer my cheddar blade sharp. Plus, if I’m part Italian I have to like cheese, I’m pretty sure that’s a law.

theeWeeBabySeamus

We’ll talk about the peppers. They need to dry some first anyway.
But dragons done good this year.

LemonJello

Maybe he’s saying you only need 11 out of the 53 man roster to be hitting on all cylinders?

*hopefully “hitting on all cylinders” isn’t NFL code for beating the shit out of your significant other

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yeah, Chip Kelly had a similar theory.

Duchess

unless those 11 guys are the Patriots than the only two that matters to the fans and announcers are Brady and Belichick.

Does mr robot season two ever get gud? Or is it fully a soap opera now? Show me someone loading a kernel module or I fucking quit.

Duchess

how far are you into it?

Watching ep 4 right now, realized I was fast forwarding through a lot of it so i asked a smart-ass question.

its a slow burn for sure the twists are pretty good

OMG, you guys! Kyrie Irving traded to the basketed ball Celtics.

I wonder what St Larry of Bird thinks of these shenanigans?

Duchess

So random trip by some shady business owners to the Bahamas and this random vendor/ owner friend and I were drinking and decided to play some craps.Now I have never played before and so I wasn’t doing too well. Turns out the guy being gracious about all the money I was losing him and feeding me tips was Kyrie Irving.

Yup I helped Kyrie Irving lose a couple hundred bucks on the craps table.

Yeah, I know. At one point, I was tempted to pull my car to the side walk to the front of the jam and play traffic cop.

I know this ain’t Request Line, but whenever I hear “agree to disagree” I think of this song.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

My GF hates that song. Mainly because I was practicing it for a gig and had to listen to it a gazillion times to get the timing down. Any time I want to rile her up, I start playing it unprompted. I am an idiot.

Not too many people can weaponize Dave Mason – well done!
