Your “Peak Philly Fan Achievement Unlocked” Tuesday Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

  • Ben McAdoo looks destined for Cleveland.
    • They are also looking at Mike Mularkey, because if you put all the 2017 failure in one basket you can’t help but germinate success!
  • Get the the-NFL-helps-the-Patriots conspiracy bandwagon fired up: Leonard Fournette was in a car accident Tuesday morning.
    • He was rear-ended, the head of a three-car incident. As his was the last to be impacted, he was able to drive it home.
    • No injuries were reported.
  • Aaron Rodgers has moved on from Olivia Munn to Danica Patrick.
    • May I be the one to use this data and politely ask that we now cease with the “no homo” attitude around Mr. Rodgers references?
      • It’s quite stale.

  • Rumblings in Steeler nation that some in the ownership group want Mike Tomlin removed as head coach.
    • Florio is the point man on this story.
      • He says it comes down to issues about team discipline and lack of situational urgency.
        • “As one source observed, Pittsburgh would be undefeated if Bill Belichick were the coach, given the talent on the roster.”

Finally, in what may be the greatest story I steal from Crimebeat! all year, an Eagles fan named Taylor Hendricks (of course) was arrested Saturday night for punching a police horse after being ejected from the Falcons-Eagles game for intoxication.

  • From FOX Sports Philadelphia:
    • Police say it all started when the 22-year-old Whitehall Township resident got ejected from the Eagles-Falcons game for being intoxicated and not having a ticket. After he got tossed, police say Hendricks approached a mounted police officer—punching his horse repeatedly in the face and neck, then striking the officer in the legs.

  • He was charged with aggravated assault, illegally taunting a police horse, simple assault and defiant trespass. He could also receive an animal cruelty charge when he next appears in court January 30th.
  • The CBS link above helpfully includes related video of a Newcastle fan punching a horse, for context & visualization purposes.
    • I don’t want to show it; I need to show it. Really, it should be the cover page for each Saturday morning Lesser Footy post.

I also want to go to Birmingham so I can visit the coffin museum and the pen museum. Maybe weird European museums and displays will be my March vacation

Unsurprised

Did you read that Twitter thread from the guy who stumbled upon the typewriter museum in Figueres, Spain? I want to go see that. I’ve been to Figueres. It was nice, and I almost went to it myself then but it was one of the days when it was closed.

Doktor Zymm

No! That sounds pretty awesome though

I'm excited for him re-reading it now. So cool.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Okie doke, time to go eat dinner and finally watch the last two eps of TWD on the dvr I’ve never watched yet. And experiment to see how much vodka can be consumed in rapid succession before the respiratory centers of the brain really do shut down.
But no worries…I’ll probably hang myself from watching TWD long before that happens.

Vodka!?!

I can’t find any more from this set, Yet.

Senor Weaselo

Sounds like a cheery evening.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Could be worse. I could be without vodka.
(snow overnight tonight…I planned ahead)

Doktor Zymm

TWD?
I’m afraid I’m not ‘hip to’ the TV shows people be watching nowadays

Mr. Ayo

The Worst Drama AKA The Walking Dumbs

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yup, more or less this.

theeWeeBabySeamus

The Walking Dead. It’s gone off the rails lately, but I can’t seem to look away.
Having not watched the last two eps yet of the first half of this current season is actually progress for me.

It’s now more or less like that girl you can’t quite quit. You’re invested, but you know she’s only gonna keep putting the screws to you.

Unsurprised

At least the DVR can’t stab you in your sleep.

Hey, WeatherChannel.com….stop asking me to turn my fucking adbocker off.
If you want me to turn it off, use the ad money to streamline your website so it doesn’t get fucked up every time I turn off my adblocker.

Also, it’s gonna snow tonight. I knew I shoulda gone to Ft. Lauderdale when I had the chance. Water temps still in the mid 70s, no shit.

WCS

YES. DEADSPIN, TOO.

Doktor Zymm

I really enjoy wielding my ad-blocker technology like a sword of web site design righteousness. Almost as much as I enjoy clicking on expensive pay-per-click search ads of companies that piss me off so I cost them money and fuck up their metrics.

Unsurprised

The per-click payment of ads, and ad-based revenue model of the web was a mistake.

Our president is the thicc boi.

Unsurprised

If he’s 6’3″ then I’m Yao Ming.

...

I’ve seen a bunch of photos of him standing next to Obama, who is 6’1″ and they appear to be the same height, so I’m on the Trump is 6’1″ train.

HOWEVER, I believe he was once at least 6’3″ and has shrunk with age as people often do. As a tall man, I can tell you once you pass 6’1″ or so, you don’t lie about your height because you don’t need to.

Unsurprised

True. I’ll accept he was once, but not anymore.

...

I just realized that spiral is centered over his anus and oh my god CURSED IMAGE

Unsurprised

Wow. 1,267-day-old mole. Somebody Feed Phil is a great Netflix series, BTW.

...

My theory about Trump and this porn star is that he paid her off not to hide that they had sex but that he doesn’t want people to know he actually thinks sex involves rolling in a giant pan of flour and getting kneaded like a giant loaf.

Sharkbait

Or he can’t get it up and is paying to maintain an image. Come to think of it, that IS a very Trump move…

...

I like my theory that he doesn’t know how to have sex better even if yours is more realistic.

Unsurprised

The way things are going, the funnier/sicker version is probably the more likely one.

...

Which is one again proof that the Pee Tape is real.

Unsurprised

I’m totally onboard the “Trump has never actually had sex” train, and this is partly why.

Anyway, this is why NDAs are pointless when they involve people like Trump. Violating them is worth more to the parties and public than not violating them. Also, they should be illegal along with non-competes, but I’m a filthy commie.

...

Same. I just made a post explaining my true theory.

Assaulting police horses happens more than I would have thought, though I guess it kind of makes sense since they’re frequently used for drunken-crowd control.

http://www.cwbchicago.com/2016/04/wrigleyville-woman-kicked-by-police.html

theeWeeBabySeamus

As Dok alludes to here, the law stems from safety issues. Both for the crowds where they’re being utilized, and the officers mounted on them.

ie…horses are huge, dumb as fuck and easily spooked.

Doktor Zymm

The requirements and training to become a police horse mean they’re much calmer than your average horse, but that just means they won’t spook at umbrellas or whatever. They’ll still get pissy if you’re a dick, which is TOTALLY fair 😀

In other news, I think I found a stable in the area I like, I have an intro lesson on Sunday! Woohoo, starting to ride again!

theeWeeBabySeamus

That’s true, actually.
The one I stole in Vegas was awesome.

Unsurprised

That seems like the perfect animal to have around large, uncontrolled groups of people. Deadwood in the cocksucking 1870s. Modern American downtowns in 2018. I can’t tell the difference.

King Hippo

We need an Al Swearingen to straighten our bullshit out!

Unsurprised

A congressional whip who would absolutely use a bullwhip on recalitrant cocksuckers.

Doktor Zymm

Eh, if people are dumb enough to assault horse I really couldn’t give two shits if they get hurt. Horses have been in crowds for pretty much all of history, what with them being the primary mode of transportation up until about 100 years ago. They’re less dangerous than using a car in a crowd, more maneuverable than using a motorcycle in a crowd, and they can defend themselves, unlike a bicycle. Height and speed weren’t the only advantages cavalry had over foot soldiers, dressage is basically self-defense for horses.

Unsurprised

Come on, Dok, you lived in Chicago. “Assault” on a police officer (human, canine, or equine) is just as likely to be where they hurt themselves attacking someone. In an era where there is a term for encircling and compressing a group of non-violent people until the very act of survival means doing something to provoke a violent police response (“Kettling.” Thank you, Scotland Yard.), being allowing to do such with horses is unethical if not criminal.

Doktor Zymm

Seeing as I actually know a lot about horses in general and police horse training specifically, I can very firmly say that you’re barking up the wrong tree here. In pretty much every case where someone assaults a police horse there’s multiple videos, since it does happen in a crowd where people have phones out and are already recording. Frequently people are joking around, but if your version of joking around involves hitting an animal then, sorry, no sympathy whatsoever if the animal responds. Do you really think this guy was goaded by police into “playing drums” on a horse’s butt?
http://www.cwbchicago.com/2015/09/cops-man-played-drums-on-police-horses.html

Gratliff

In his defense, that horse was a cop

Senor Weaselo

Yeah, but doesn’t the horse have to tell you that it’s a cop?

Unsurprised

Fair enough.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Pitt and ‘Cuse might the two worst teams in the ACC.

Hold our beer.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Can we talk about how there’s a law against taunting a police horse?

Sharkbait

Aren’t they technically officers? Like police dogs?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yes

theeWeeBabySeamus

15 yard penalty.
Loss of carrots.

Unsurprised

There may as well be a law prohibiting the stuffing of squirrels down one’s pants for the purposes of gambling.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Does that help? I’ve been losing a lot lately and I need that good juju.

Unsurprised

It hasn’t not helped.

theeWeeBabySeamus
