Your “Trade Deadline Headlines” Halloween Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

Trade deadline updates:

  • October 30th:
    • Duane Brown: from the Texans to the Seahawks
      • Houston gets cornerback Jeremy Lane, a second-round pick in 2019 and a fifth-round pick in 2018.
      • Russell Wilson reworked his contract to free up cap room.
    • Jimmy Garappolo: from the Pats to the 49ers.
      • For a 2018 second-round pick.
      • Of note, and specifically about the type of compensation involved:
  • October 31st:
    • Jay Ajayi: from the Dolphins to the Eagles
      • Miami receives a fourth-round draft pick in exchange.
      • The Eagles are expected to run a Czonka-Morris type of combination with Blount & Ajayi.
    • Kelvin Benjamin: from the Panthers to the Bills
      • Carolina receives the Bills’ 2018 3rd and 7th round picks.
        • I guess Cam has enough weapons.
  •  Didn’t end up on the market:
    • Martavis Bryant: not going anywhere.
      • Given he has a year & a half left on his rookie deal, he’s a steal at the price.
    • Josh Gordon: ?
      • The Browns tried to trade his rights at the deadline, but he has a meeting with the NFL on Wednesday to discuss reinstatement.
        • I guess no one wanted to bite, given his chances for returning would be up in the air.

  • Non-trade NFL News:
    • Jadeveon Clowney’s Halloween costume of an orange jumpsuit sure had a lot to say.
      • Clowney says it was a predetermined outfit, picked long before the current controversy about McNair’s remarks.
      • The Texans and Clowney offered a response. They told the Houston Chronicle that there “was no hidden meaning behind his Halloween costume”.
    • Kiko Alonso will not be suspended for his Thursday Night wallop on a sliding Joe Flacco. Ndamukong Suh likewise for his hand to the throat of Ryan Mallett.
      • They are, however, evaluating a few plays for possible fines.
      • Flacco is not expected to miss games, having cleared concussion protocol in elite fashion.

Finally, Jerry Jones is stirring the Goodell pot once again by claiming Ezekiel Elliott is “paying the price” for the League’s mistakes during the Ray Rice fiasco.

  • “Zeke is a victim of an overcorrection,” Jones said to local media.
  • Because Elliott has been re-resuspended, he would start missing games effective this weekend.
    • With the Cowboys playoff chances fading by the week, they need as many hand on deck as they can muster.
  • They could try to change judges, arguing conflict of interest.
    • The sitting judge in the case has a husband who is a partner in the NFL’s CBA/lockout law firm.
  • This plays into the working theory that there is a strong chance Goodell’s contract doesn’t get renewed.
    • Although Jerry only has 17 votes total on his “committee”; he needs 24 to ensure the hunt for a new lackey can begin.

Tonight’s sports:

Unsurprised

He has enough crazy women in his life. Not me, though. So maybe I should call her.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I won’t recommend that.

My interactions with her have only ever been online, occasional and brief. Which was more than enough.

theeWeeBabySeamus

FWIW tho, normally she’s platinum blonde and much more scantily clad in her photo sets if that appeals to you.

Unsurprised

It does.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Relatively speaking, this is tame…..

Brocky

Man, what is about bolted on tits that they look good in front revealing outfits, but not bikinis

theeWeeBabySeamus

Well, four sizes too big for one’s body type is a bad start. Also, I don’t recommend telling her that.

Brocky

I think she’s wasnt even remotely a femme fatal in the source material, but since the movie, she’s been more and more sexual

Unsurprised

Someone described Destro and her in the comic and original series as the guy who goes along with whatever nonsense his girlfriend is into because she’s good at sex. However, Baroness cosplayers have always been on edging closer and closer this way since she already wears the leather jumpsuit. Same with Black Widow, although her costume has had the cleavage in it forever while Baroness’s didn’t until I don’t know when. The last ten years, maybe?

Brocky

Exactly. Didn’t even have the voice of a 40 year old on the cartoon

Unsurprised

Baroness? She always sounded like Natasha from Moose und Squirrel show, didn’t she?

...

I’m glad the Cubs didn’t trade for Justin Verlander because I don’t think I could handle his idiot overrated wife being put on camera between every other pitch.

Brocky

Dude, it’s called a mute button

I like the additional subtle dig that it’s definitely not Trump who is punching the Nazi, cause he would never do that.

He’d be happy to claim that they used him as a hand model for that costume, though.

Anthony In TX

That is brilliant.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I’m kinda pleased. ND shot right up those rankings by beating the shit out of my alma mater.

I think that means we’re good.

Unsurprised

All universities that should be bombed into dust.

LemonJello

I was looking for a cousin fucker joke, but the altar boys messed that all up.

Unsurprised

Eh … No, it would still work. Plus, South Bend is in rural Indiana near Kentucky.

...

It’s not really near Kentucky but that’s irrelevant because the whole state is a fucking pit.

Unsurprised

It’s closer than I’d like, which is to say that being on the same side of the continental divide is too close.

Evening Folks. Anyone else have every light off in the living room?

Unsurprised

I have every light in the apartment on and the blinds open. I need as much light as possible to keep myself awake. I’ll grab my blue anti-SAD light after dinner.

Brocky

All my lights are on, but my motion light keeps going off, so I keep opening the door to turn it back on.

I refuse to meddle with it for no reason that I won’t know how to properly reactivate it.

litre_cola

No kids in this here condo so no worries.

LemonJello

Just the light from the tv and my laptop here.

Anthony In TX

No, because George Springer hit a home run when I had a ton of lights on, so I haven’t changed it… because what I do has so much influence on the outcome of the game.

Evening commentists. Hope you are all well and fuck the Dodgers.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I’m well, but I’d prefer not to fuck the Dodgers.
Well, maybe Bellinger. He’s dreamy.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Joc Petersen’s parents named him that in the hopes that he’d get to nail the prom queen. Sadly, the best he could do was getting to second base with the student council treasurer.

Fuck the Dodgers indeed. Go ‘Stros!

The best Halloween movie, I will fight those who disagree. Just the right amount of scare and fun.

Horror movies are great on their own, but feel shoehorned when given Halloween gimmicks.

Why people call a nightmare before Christmas a Halloween movie, I’ll never understand.

The only good parts of hocus pocus are the talking cat and a reminder of why people once thought Sara Jessica Parker was hot

I see there’s a glitch in the Matrix this evening…

Brocky

So, on a scale of 1 to 10, how much of an asshole am i for judging someone letting their seven year old daughter (I’m guessing here) wear the suicide squad Harley outfit?

A combination of obvious reasons:

1. It’s 40 fucking degrees outside, her teeth were chattering as she said trick or treat

2. There’s dramatically more age appropriate Harley costumes out there.

3. That movie came out last year, and was rated r, there has to be a cutoff point to exposing kids to that. I don’t care how “cool” parents are now, those ratings exist for a reason.

LemonJello

You are completely right for judging those parents.

/still rate you a 8/10 as an asshole, but that’s coming from a place of love. Kisses!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Since it’s Halloween, let’s make those Hershey Kisses!

Redshirt

If no skin is showing and the shirt isn’t tight, 7.

If she dressed exactly like Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, 1. If you didn’t call Social Services, 6.

Brocky

So….6.5?

theeWeeBabySeamus

You’ll always be a perfect 10 to me.
comment image

Unsurprised

If she dressed exactly like Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, 1.

This would probably be an instance where I’d have to inform them that by statute and the rules of professional responsibility, I am a mandatory reporter and am required to call DHS if they continue this course of action.

This would also apply if it was an elderly person. Being a lawyer sucks. I would be deathly afraid of shopping anymore if I didn’t walk to the store since, as noted in the child abuse reporting CLE I had to attend, 95% of calls lawyers end up having to make to the DHS hotline are for kids alone in cars or parents in stores doing or not doing something because the goddamn law is so vague.

Teams that put a fourth forward on the power play to play the point: what are they thinking?

litre_cola

The Ice Bombers use Laine, I support this.

Redshirt

The Browns have unlocked a level of derp so low, that derp may not be appropriate name for it, not even Derp: Condition Plaid. They screwed up so much that it not only affected their team but the other team their founder created.

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/report-bengals-agreed-to-trade-aj-mccarron-but-browns-fail-to-notify-nfl-on-time/

Senor Weaselo

First off, why? Second off, the level is Derp Condition Browns.

Redshirt

Hue Jackson is the coach in Oakland that gave the Bengals a 1st and a 2nd for Carson Palmer. That why.

Also, I must learn how to photoshop so I can create that.

LemonJello

There hasn’t been a factory stepping up its production like this since WWII.

Kiko Alonso will not be suspended for his Thursday Night wallop on a sliding Joe Flacco. Ndamukong Suh likewise for his hand to the throat of Ryan Mallett.

Yep, just as I called it. Once the league figured out the Dolphins next opponent was the Raiders, suspensions were off the table.

Brocky

If I had made some slight effort to keep up with the Simpsons, I’d be slightly more upset that fox apparently doesn’t run a bunch of Simpsons Halloween episodes tonight.

But i don’t, so I can’t.

Brocky

Shit, I legitimately keep forgetting about that channel

Unsurprised

So does News Corp.

Senor Weaselo

At first I thought the Rangers dressed up as a competent team with an early goal, but I was mistaken.

Unrelated: apparently suicine was released early today.

Senor Weaselo

Yeah, I’m 0/1. It has a floatier jump than the other dogs.

Brocky

Fucker can jump all he wants. He ain’t getting away from me

Senor Weaselo

Yeah, it’s just annoying when he jumps while the ball is midair. Like three times. It’s not often I get 12 balls to throw, I’m Instinct!
