NFL News:
- The day was filled with Cardinals rumours.
- Bruce Arians wants out of the desert at the end of the season.
- Counterpoint: he says he’s not leaving.
- Colin Kaepernick is being considered to replace Carson Palmer.
- I find it hard to believe they’d go that route with the combo of Drew Stanton & Blaine Gabbert just sitting there.
- Bruce Arians wants out of the desert at the end of the season.
- Warn the lady reporters: Doug Pederson thinks Carson Wentz reminds him of Brett Favre.
- Or, he’s subtly warning us that he’s a sexual predator. Really, the language could go either way:
- “He’s got that aggressiveness that Brett had.”
- “One of the things that Brett was able to do is just elevate the play around him.”
- “Carson’s a little more calculated.”
- “Favre was that way, and I see a lot of the same characteristics in Carson.”
- Or, he’s subtly warning us that he’s a sexual predator. Really, the language could go either way:
- Redemption story? The Panthers have signed former Bucs kicker Roberto Aguayo to their practice squad.
- Current kicker Graham Gano has knee soreness, so Aguayo is more insurance that replacement at this point.
- Golden Tate’s bad shoulder has led the Lions to sign WR Jace Billingsley off their practice squad to the active roster.
- Tate is expected to miss several weeks.
- Billingsley spent 2016 with the Lions’ practice squad for the entire year, seeing no game action.
- He is expected to see limited duty in his first game, but they expect him to be around long enough to see if Matt Stafford will finally lick the pole.
- The Seahawks have signed Dwight Freeney to a one-year deal.
- Ostensibly, to replace Cliff Avril, whom they expect to be out for a while, given they put him on IR.
- But don’t try to talk me out of thinking Pete Carroll is going to convert him to Left Tackle. “Gotta keep Russ healthy” is forever the logic.
- As is Seahawks tradition when signing a near-retired future Hall of Famer, they are expected to dust off Cortez Kennedy’s #96.
- Ostensibly, to replace Cliff Avril, whom they expect to be out for a while, given they put him on IR.
Finally, oh God the Browns:
- The Browns announced they will sacrifice DeShone Kizer to the Vikings defence in London this Sunday.
- Myles Garrett is in concussion protocol.
- ESPN has decided to showcase the misery of being a Browns fan overseas.
- Joe Thomas had successful surgery on his triceps.
- He’s still out for the season.

RIP Fats Domino. I wanted an English version, but Italian will have to do.
MOLTO BENE!
The pitcher is talking again. I bet this makes Peter King hard. “oh, the tradition!”
I wish group went well, but I missed the last half hour because my stomach decided I needed to paint the restroom in Skyline chili.
Wait, did that Masterpass ad just cover the fielder’s face?
Instead of Bright they couldn’t get the rights for Fables – Wolf Among Us?
Rudy Gay is close to shooting 60% for the admittedly very short season
Kyle Anderson has the largest forehead-to-ear size ratio in the NBA. But at least he doesn’t have those giant meat slabs like Boban Marjanovich sported. That shit creeped me the fuck out.
Boban looked like an XXXL size Batboy.

Didnt even realize he had one going. Goes to show how much I’m paying attention
I’m sure it made sense somewhere.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug?
Everytime i switch from Spurs to baseball, Baseball is on hold for the pitcher to talk to someone. NFL needs to be careful or it’s the new baseball.
Get in a time machine and ask someone in the 50’s/60’s if they thought baseball was end all be all of sports in the US.
I can only wonder what they say to the pitcher. “Man, stop throwing those shitty pitches.”
“So, where do you wanna go for dinner?”
MY KIDS ARE DOING HOMEWORK SO WIFE SAYS CANT TURN ON TEEVEE WHAT AM I MISSING?
Oh, is that all?
The speed of these 1st 2 games has been fantastic IMO.

Finally got around to John Wick 2. Those two films are some of the best I’ve seen in the last 20 years. Fully expect the third to be a cash in shitshow.
With a fucking pencil!!!
And then the callback later on when he murders the shit out of some people with help of a pencil was wonderful.
The beauty was that the pencil reference called all the way back to the beginning of the first movie.
Jesus this baseball is boring.How do people watch this? Good thing the Spurs are on.
And playing very well, I might add.
Folks.
So they didn’t get to seven runs last night? Is that why there is basedbalk on my teevee tonight?
Chili’s Ready!!!!!!!

Also that looks delicious, it’s just that there are consequences.
There always are. That’s why I planned ahead. I have no required out of house tasks tomorrow. Imma chili my ass off tonight. Tomorrow, I’ll catch up on reading….so to speak.
Have some of this on hand?
Hold the fuck up. Angel Hernandez is umpiring in the World Series?

Joe Thomas is seriously…or I guess was…the only reason to watch the Browns take the field.
I need a fucking vacation. I am so sick of talking through this training. Its not really the people in the class so much as its a shitload stuff I don’t normally work on. The other thing is that the guys will just nod off completely in the class, which is understandable as this stuff is dry under the best conditions and these dudes are dealing with a 12 hour time zone change. But it keeps happening where I will ask if anyone has any questions after every 30 minutes or so and after about four hours, one of them will ask me to just start over from the beginning of the day.
Hi all! My wife has been hijacked from me! So I’m very pleased about this.
You think I keed? Fuck yourself where your ducks dare to step!
I wanna ask a question but I don’t wanna get yelled at.
Is it because you can finally show off your “very special set of skills”?
Kidz Bop is some kind of punishment designed specifically for adults, right? This is some Project MKUltra-level shit.
Did you not listen to the Kidz Bop version of Macklemore’s “Thrift Shop” when I posted it? Because that would be for the best on your end.

Fave comment I’ve seen attributed to Vin Scully:
“Sports writers lean on statistics the same way that drunks lean on lamp posts-for support rather than illumination.”
Vin Scully should be throwing out the first pitch from the press box, right?
Fun fact: “press box” is why GHWB is suddenly back in the news.
Vin!!
Hate the dirt RAMMITS but I love me some Vin.

So am I supposed to root for Wall to own Ball tonight because Ball’s dad is such an asshole? Haven’t seen such an annoying dad since Tiger Woods came up. Or the last time I got together for drinks with my dad, anyway.
you have to wait FOAR Spur to arrive before asking queries liek that ,, none of the rest of us speak Portuguese, commie
Thanks for the tip, amigo. Still feeling my way here, not familiar yet with all traditions.
I’m just joshin’ with ya. 😀
/some ppl do watch teh NBA, I just no understand
For me, it’s because the Spurs are the only game we have in this town. It doesn’t hurt that they’ve been pretty good this century.
just so happens that everyone here who follows hoopsball seems to like teh Spurs. WEIRD
Indicative of good taste! OTOH, my NFL team is the P*ts.
*dodges slings and arrows*
I’m just hoping that John breaks Lonzo’s ankles with a SWEET stop-and-go move, so the headline tomorrow can read “Wall Stalls, Ball Falls.”
Probably only going to get a lamer “Ball Hits the Wall”
Maybe Lonzo throws up a brick that misses everything and the crowd lets him have it, then they can go with “All Call, ‘Air-ball’.”
“The Vanilla Ice Project” has taught me that if you’ve ever been famous at some point and want to put in a bit of work, you’ll always have a source of income.
Also that apparently people will watch anything, given that there’s apparently a market for a show about Joe Flacco making homemade ice cream (which is what I assume the show is about).
Americans…are really fucking weird.
/thank God there is footbaw tomorry
//even if just Ratbirds/Fins
Such an oddball game to feature on a Thursday night when a ton of NFL fan’s eyeballs are tuning in….
It’s funny to me how hated the Dodgers are. I’ve always preferred the Angels, but I’ve never really had anything against the Dodgers. Their fans, I understand, are stabby and mostly awful, but the team itself is not that hateable. Or, am I missing something?
I don’t get it, either. Then again, I’m a fucking Cardinals fan.

Go back to Brooklyn, ya bums ya.
I don’t hate anyone on the team, with the exception of Puig. It’s the whole bloated payroll run amok thing that I hate, going back to the Yankees of the 90’s and on.
I also have a general dislike of the fans as I’ve had enough bad experiences with them over the years. I think my favorite recent one was a guy in a Kershaw jersery last year who didn’t know what the CY Young was.
Is it possible to feel sorry for Joe Thomas and the millions he’s made playing for Cleveland?
/I’m conflicted a wee bit
Just think of all the time he’s saved himself. He won’t have to waste a moment of his retirement dusting or polishing any championship trophies.
The wear and tear on the body during non-existent playoff games. That has to be factored in.
/btw-all the millionaires I know hire folks to polish their trophies
Yeah, I guess you’re right. Hell, I’m not even a millionaire and I have a lady that comes in to polish my trophy.
Well, no way fer The Donks to pry him away from #ThePauls now, to keep #SwagKelly alive for a late season cameo appearance.
On a fun hockey note, Phoenix has 0 wins and 1 point on the season so far. The next closest team are the equally laughable Canadiens with 5 times as many points.
Phoenix is basically the Jacksonville of the nhl: constant threats of relocation, and despite all the young talent in the world still terrible.
Your team. Who is it?

With the week I’ve been having…

And if the Dodgers win tonight…
With you 100% on the Dodgers taek
If there’s any common ground between Giants and Padres fans, it’s that the Dodgers must fail.
Absofuckinglutely.
