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.

This time next week I plan to be sitting on the beach, high as fuck, enjoying the solitude and the peace of not having to deal with anyone’s shit for a week. Not even my own.

Or, I might be dying tragically in the storm surge from Hurricane Irma.

Frankly, I’m good with either scenario.

Senor Weaselo

Dibs on the peppers if you die!

theeWeeBabySeamus

If you can act responsibly, I’ll try to get some shipped your way before I head down there.
Then every time your pancreas explodes, you can remember me.

(seriously, happy to send some)
((Imma surf those hurricaney waves…that wasn’t a joke))

Senor Weaselo

Hey, I act responsibly! Most of the time!

theeWeeBabySeamus

Fair enough, lol. I need to pick tomorrow and Friday anyway. If there’s enough to make it worth it I’ll get up with you privately (giggity) and get the shipping digits. Cool?

LemonJello

Ok, UCLA isn’t just poop. They’re playing like liquid shit.

Switching over to Turkeyfuckers v Cousinfuckers.

The Patriots are cheaters and, worse yet, every single person who roots for that franchise or “respects” the team is an unequivocally a Nazi.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Does drafting Tawmmy in FF make me a Nazi?
I kinda think it probably does, but I kinda also had to. I am not looking forward the dichotomy of tearing opposite emotions this will cause me.

King Hippo

just a sympathizer

Senor Weaselo

Well considering your stance on how you’re going to do this year I think it’s more like “Springtime for Hitler.”

/I’m expecting this to have to get approval

theeWeeBabySeamus

Turns out when you welcome family into the house for dinner, it often takes longer to get them to leave than one might expect.

At least when I feed the ducks, they know to go the fuck home and not fuck up the house when they get full.

Ducks >>>>>> Family

blaxabbath

Indeed.

Geese on the other hand, they can go fuck themselves.

Yep, you already know my stance on geese. Fuck those assholes.

Senor Weaselo

It’s my own. I keep my grudges, and those bastards still owe me pizza.

theeWeeBabySeamus

LMFAO. Indeed they do.

I just grab ’em and chuck back in the lake and dare them to come back into the yard.

I really think the sequel has the potential to not be just a money grab that’s 1/10th as good as the original.

Beerfest was alright, but, I thought Slammin’ Salmon was hilarious.

So UCLA appears to be not so good.

WCS is quiet, so I presumed a stasis of sorts

I talked to him skype-illy last night. He was pumped for this. Can’t believe he’s not rampaging.
I am disappointed.

King Hippo

It’s predictably as dull as televised badminton

Repeating Hippo’s earlier comment: “UCLA just might be poop.”

King Hippo

and the run defense…whatever is two rungs below that

Is Ucla ranked? Fox doesnt show it if they are

King Hippo

neither side is

theeWeeBabySeamus

They are not. Both were in the also receiving votes category.
Somebodeh ain’t getting dey votes next week methinks.

King Hippo

A&M should be allowed to legally confiscate them

theeWeeBabySeamus

Well they’ve already taken their candy and their lunch money. Might as well take their votes too. LMFAO.

Ran off to Ottawa again this weekend to participate in two fantasy drafts. It’s twenty years now we’ve been doing this. I want to quit but every fucking year I laugh so hard when we get together that my jaw is sore the next day.

Too bad re UCLA, they are always a side I kind of like as “hey, they aren’t really too evil, all things considered (ie, their League surroundings).”

Kind of like TAMU, actually.

Seamus recently told a story of an ex that was way too young and out of his lieague. I have one too, and she is in Harvey’s path, and I really hope she is ok.

9 years younger than me, and one of the most gorgeous women I have ever seen. 24 years old, and had never kissed a man. How is that possible? Social anxiety is a killer, folks. Every time a man would flirt with her, she would freak out and run away.

So how did I get so lucky? I met her online. Talked to her online every day for six months before either of us had exchanged photos. Six months before she got up the nerve to talk on the phone. And we continued to talk online every day for another couple of months before she got up the nerve to meet me. By then, we knew each other well, and we were crazy for each other, so her social anxiety was manageable.

And for awhile, everything was amazing. For awhile.

Here’s the thing. I had been in relationships. I knew how they flowed. This was her first. She couldn’t see what was coming, but I could. I knew….absolutely KNEW…..that she would soon reach a point where I disappointed her. She wouldn’t have me on a pedestal anymore. She would start to wonder if I am the one she wants.

And I couldn’t bear to live through that, so I broke up with her.

She married the next man who came into her life. She has been with him for 16 years now. And I’m happy in the relationship that I’m currently in, but I would be lying if I said that there aren’t occasionally days when I think about her, and wish I could have been the man that she needed me to be.

I’ll close the doors of the confessional now.

King Hippo

Fuck, man. That’s deep. Brave as fuck of you to handle that way, too.

Mr. Ayo

Cool story.

Where are the pictures?

theeWeeBabySeamus

I don’t believe I said out of my league.
But yeah, she was. I’m still very proud of that actually, LOL.

But more to your point, it’s interesting how often we find ourselves the “experience gained” which works out well for the next guy, eh? FWIW, it doesn’t sound like it was you who wasn’t what she needed, rather than her just not knowing what she needed. It happens. Meh.

Redshirt

Nice to share. Similar to my “One that Got Away” story, but I’m not brave or drunk enough to share it.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Drink more then.

it’s hot as balls at the Rose Bowl. I don’t know how these young men manage to stay hydrated and how those young ladies still have clothes on.

King Hippo

they don’t cotton to the notion of “rebuilding season?”

Redshirt

Reds call that a “refresh” and Bengals call it a “reboot”. Too bad the server has one bar and the boot files have been corrupted ever since Mike Brown tried deleting the porn from the franchise computer before his father caught it.

King Hippo

speaking of new QB, is the new Ted-fucker for the Cousinfuckers any good?

WCS

He’s supposed to be. I hope so.

King Hippo

Yet another new QB for TAMU

Redshirt

Okay, you’ve broken into the White House and have control of the Football. It is armed, but Secret Service is breaking down the door and you only have one target to make before you are stopped.

Who do you nuke:

New England Patriots or University of Alabama Football?

King Hippo

I enjoy hating Bama. The P*ts make me blackout crunk angry.

Unsurprised

Without football, Alabama is still cursed to continue being Alabama. Destroying the Patriots also gets rid of maybe one or two billionaires and puts the fear of God into the region for all of its other crimes.

litre_cola

You stage a game in a neutral city, oh say Wichita. Invite both teams for an opening weekend extravaganza. As you are the president you choose Notre Dame v Bama the Saturday, Pats v Cowboys double header. Boom.

this takes out boosters, good idea!

You’re not President, but I like your scenario.
