Your “I’ve Got No Mind To Worry” Sunday Evening Open Thread

So, for most people it’s the middle day of the three-day Labour Day holiday weekend. Please look forward to the embarrassment Roger Goodell should hopefully feel this week as it’s brought out that – which Deadspin discovered late-Thursday – the League may have been specifically hunting Elliott.

The NFL’s lead investigator, Kia Roberts, reportedly testified that she had recommended Elliott not be suspended, only to find her recommendation missing from the league’s final report.

Per the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Roberts testified that after interviewing Tiffany Thompson, Elliott’s former girlfriend, she recommended that Elliott not be suspended by the league. [snip] But Roberts’s recommendation was not included in the NFL’s final report on the situation, and according to what a source told the Star-Telegram about today’s testimony, she was barred from a meeting with commissioner Roger Goodell to discuss the league’s discipline of Elliott.

This may be what got Jerry Jones so upset when the suspension was announced – because the investigator may have hinted to him that all was good. Then he found out about SHENANIGANS! and this fresh hell broke loose.

Please continue enjoying the last of your summer beers, for soon winter will bring us the heartiest of ales. On the summer beer front, for the life of me, I just don’t get buying cans of Radler. Ooh – look at you, #UpForWhatever. It’s a fucking glorified shandy, but with a manlier name, for the type of person that goes nose-up at a Bud Lime-a-rita because it’s too macro. I just want to smack the neckbeard & fedora right off their stupid head.
