Your “Money Is Burnin’ A Hole In Your Pocket” Saturday Evening Open Thread

I hope you are enjoying your weekend. If we can get through it without WWIII starting, I think that’ll be the true victory. And that’s talk I haven’t used since Reagan unveiled the SDI.

Took the doggies to a Bernese Mountain Dog get-together at a lake east of town today.

  

I think they had fun.

Oh – feel free to keep Justin Trudeau if he’s in your country. His idiot finance minister actually contemplated taxing employee discounts against income, before massive public outcry turned them against the idea. Why, they almost wiped out the teenaged workforce in one fell swoop while taking away any incentive to work in the service industry. All Trump’s doing is ending subsidies on health care his voting base depends upon.

Your move, Mexico. Let’s bring NAFTA home!

+150 on a successful extra point

Besides, don’t they let kids into Buffalo Wild Wings? Dude can get wings for him and his kid, plus booze, which DQ does NOT sell. Maybe his old lady is a bitch about that.

SO this Audi driver won’t SAVE LIVES because doing the right thing would result in him losing the enjoyment of his daily commute.

Not if the C-Hox take him first!

blaxabbath

To also get turfed behind that O Line?

Unsurprised

What O line?

blaxabbath

I somehow wonder how these QBs ‘come out of nowhere’ every March.

Maybe it’s the smart teams fucking with the bad teams by giving support to QBs whose names ‘sound right’.

blaxabbath

Throw the fucking ball, UW QB!

Wakezilla

Jr Seahawks are going to miss out on the playoffs because their kicker can’t kick for shit. Also, taking a half off didn’t help

blaxabbath

ASU is such a strange team. A little run-heavy but otherwise pretty decent and balanced with some hints of talent. But they play and like, some nights they look like absolute dog shit and other nights they show a little spark and they play like they discovered their potential.

WCS

See also: Every team coached by Todd Graham, and Rich Rodriguez (Arizona)

blaxabbath

I think Arizona, you know exactly who they are (without Tate). WIth Tate — yeah, they’ll overachieve if he stays healthy/doesn’t get arrested. ASU is just a better or worse version of themselves — but the variance is enormous.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Maybe the PK will be ready to take Blair Walsh’s roster spot in a few years. He can do a couple years with the Vikings before going to the Seahawks.

WCS

HEY! TRIGGER WARNING FOR YEAH RIGHT AND DREW

Oh! Tim Tebow Florida Gators commercial!

It makes me happy that Tom Petty talked Mike Campbell into dropping out of UF. Think of all the great music we would have missed out on if he had got his degree in architecture.

blaxabbath

I’ll just assume you didn’t just make this up on the spot and that it’s all actually true.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Well, true according to interview with Petty in Peter Bogdanovich’s Tom Petty documentary “Running Down a Dream.” A film worth your time, if you are interested in Tom Petty’s career.

Senor Weaselo

I haven’t seen a Washington team choke with a chance to advance their playoff stature like this since… well, since Thursday.

Why is it that Hawaii has a college football team but Alaska doesn’t?

The moose keep eating the goal posts.

Nothing attractive about that lifestyle. CFB players comes from the deep south or CA. At least Hawaii is in Hawaii.

Man, I should have gone to Hawaii.

Unsurprised

It’s for Samoans who can’t make USC’s roster.

Flight from prosecution is an education of sorts.

I’m still wrestling with whether to trust soft brained Kelce.
But my shitteh backup TE was bought late and only to buy time to wait on Kelce status.

He’s cleared so it’s stupid not to start him. That was the whole point, right?

blaxabbath

Just gotta play him.

It’s like hitting on a soft 15 when dealer shows a K.

Who has two thumbs and broke 80 this morning for the first time in over a year?
Not this guy!!!!!

I was on pace, then fucked up my shoulder badly again (not sure how/why…it just kinda went kersplodey) and went +6 on the last two holes, including snowman on the par 4 coming in to the clubhouse.

Plus my shoulder is killing me. Though the weed is helping.

blaxabbath

Wow — that’s some good golfing.

blaxabbath

I feel like I should become good at golf considering, you know, business.

theeWeeBabySeamus

It does lend itself to deals.

Mr. Ayo

Why does Florida get all the cool shit?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Honestly, today was just a perfect storm in a good way. Well at least thru 15.
Truth be told, I’ve been in the mid 90s lately way more than in the 80s.
Left shoulder, arm and hand are revolting on me…but I’m a stubborn idjit.

blaxabbath

How’d you get good at golf. Lessons with the local PGA pro at your local clubhouse?

theeWeeBabySeamus

I started playing when I was just a tiny little dude. My best friend and I basically lived at the course in the summers when we were kids.

Yes, also some lessons when in my teens. Then again in my 20s when my game inexplicably went bye bye for about three months.

Col. Duke LaCross

Hey! Right on man!

theeWeeBabySeamus

I was happy with it overall to be honest.

I was actually kinda proud I got up and down on the par 3 where shoulder went boom. I skulled it badly, barely cleared the water hazard fronting the green, and ended up short. Fortunately no bunkers on that one, LOL.

blaxabbath

Rosen is going to be a nice little career NFL backup who’ll maybe get a season as the QB1 for a rebuilding team…say, SF in 2021.

I hate Arizona’s uniforms. They look like the matching home-made uniforms the Big Green wears before they get the really nice ones from the sports apparel store or wherever.

FIX YOUR UNIFORMS, RICHROD!

montythisseemsstrangetome

A lot of college uniforms have gotten bad, Arena League-looking.

blaxabbath

I mean, i get the crazy shit (like Florida being gator-prints) but UA just looks like a create a team from NCAA 2002. The gradient is unimpressive. The colors are cheesy, the helmet logo is always a little too small, the numbers just aren’t right.

WCS

Yeah, but, can they stop Miami or Ohio State’s offense? Are they a spread offense, or, a run-heavy? What about the defense? Is their stadium a dome?

WCS

(This is a very esoteric NCAA Football video game joke)

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

It only takes one to be esoteric.

blaxabbath

UCLA’s are fucking terrible too. Not classic nor modern.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

You should write for Vogue.

Spur

Porn Star U is taking to the Huskies. Is that legal?

WCS

Probably in Texas, Arkansas, Kansas, Tennessee, and, yes, Arizona.

blaxabbath

We are lawless as hell down here.

Unless you’re colored….then we’ll find something.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

*Except spray tan

**Not the player

Spur

Told you Big Love would fuck up

blaxabbath

Targeting makes no fucking sense.

But I guess since we don’t pay these kids, it’s not like you can come up with a fine system.

Gratliff

You better goddamn believe the NCAA can and will take money from these kids they don’t pay

blaxabbath

That’ll probably be what they come up with the protect their business model from the FBI/Congress.

It will be celebrated.

Gratliff

It’ll be worth it to cause the debate that finally prompts Shannon to blast Skip Bayless on live TV.

WCS

Spur called it.

Mr. Ayo

Well, they tried.

Viva La Tabula Raza

My takeaway, therefore, is “don’t try.” Or was that a Simpsons quote?

montythisseemsstrangetome

I love Puig even more after that interview.

Gratliff

I need a good comedy show to run as background noise when I’m bored. Anything obscure that’s awful in the good way?

blaxabbath

Think the longest college football drive I’ve seen this season has been, maybe, seven plays.

Tonight: about five plays.
