Your “You Like Those Odds?” Tuesday Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

  • Dust off those Tebow rumours – Josh McDaniels is now the Colts head coach.
    • Based on the premise Andrew Luck is broken forever & not even Jesus can save him.
      • Although, Jacoby Brissett must be happy to see a familiar face in Gravytown.
    • A press conference Wednesday will make it official.
  • UPDATE: CANCELLED!
    • The new rumours are that McDaniels has language that will promise him the head coaching job if/when Belichick quits/is forced out.
      • Belichick’s contract runs through 2018.
  • Good news: DeShaun Watson ran for the first time on Monday in his rehab from knee surgery.
    • It was on a treadmill, and the article throws out RGIII warnings, but it seems like a positive step for a kid who lit it up last year.
  • Bad news: Ryan Shazier isn’t able to walk on his own (yet)
    • This counters Adam Schefter claiming Shazier has a regular walking routine.
    • You kinda hafta believe the player over the rumourmonger.

  • According to NFL Network, “a perfect storm of issues” contributed to Malcolm Butler not playing Sunday.
    • Among them:
      • He was sick & missed Opening Night
      • A week of bad practices
      • An unspecified violation of team rules (curfew?)
      • Attitude
    • It’ll likely be up to Butler to spill the beans, but not until he knows what 2018 holds for him & where he’ll be playing – lest he get Kaep’d.
      • Because it would be like Grumblelord to fuck the kid over if he speaks out of turn about discipline.
        • As evidenced by Butler’s afternoon Tweet-splanation.

  • A total of 326 players have been invited to the scouting combine February 27 through March 5.
    • Among that number are 30 RBs & 19 QBs
      • Not all invitees are expected to attend.
    • They better name-tag the janitors, or the Browns might try to draft them.
  • This slid under the radar last week, but FOX paid $550 million/year for the Thursday Night broadcasts through 2022.
    •  It amounts to 11 games between Weeks 4 and 15 (excluding Thanksgiving Night), or $50 million per week.
      • Up from the $45 million CBS & NBC paid.
    • One key to the deal: FOX doesn’t have to use their #1 team for the game, so no Joe & Troy on Thursdays.
      • I know we’re all crushed.

Finally, it doesn’t seem big enough to garner an investigation, but prop-bet site TopBet.eu lost $41,000 on Timberlake’s choice of Prince song.

  • Two individuals places multiple bets against declining odds on “I Would Die 4 U” being the Prince song covered.
    • Starting Thursday, the odds went from 50-1 to 25-1, then 18-1, then 10-1, then 8-1 before closing at 5-2. The odds dropped with each bet placed by the same people.
  • Looking at multiple sites, it appears that “Let’s Go Crazy” was the favourite.

I guess I don’t mind Bruce Willis in a Deathwish remake. The original was stupid, so why not.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Hopefully the remake is as racist as the original.

Meh…he’d never have been this good in Raleigh under that “coach”.

Inside the NFL has no less than 45 angles of Brady’s drop. *masturbation intensifies*

King Hippo

Don’t worry, I know where you can get some extra skin if ya rub it all off.

King Hippo

Watching Georgetown fixture, and still think Providence’s coach should wear one of them English driving caps. My Dad (started balding around 28, like my little brother, HAHA!) loved his!

King Hippo

solidarity FOAR the endangered Florida panther!

Well, Fleury’s allowed five goals in a row.

…and Vegas scores 18 seconds later. 5-3 Ice Stillers.

The Patriots just lost the Super Bowl, and humans just sent a car to Mars*. It’s been a pretty damned fine week so far.

*Mars’ orbit

WCS

Can we send the Patriots to Mars’ orbit next?

King Hippo

ok, just don’t blow 6 pts in 15 seconds, and the rest of my GAMBLOR night is covered.

Fat little kid just got on this plane wearing an Eagles SB champs hat. He looked so happy. I almost feel bad for him, not knowing the rest of his life is downhill.

Coupled with the remainder of his lifetime of crippling playoff losses in every sport.

Unsurprised

Yes. Hell yes.

scotchnaut

No car chases so far though….

theeWeeBabySeamus

$250 on KU ATS -7.5. Dey gon’ kill TCU.
That’ll get me to an even grand again.

King Hippo

that line was suspiciously low

theeWeeBabySeamus

Agreed.

Unsurprised

The Disaster Artist’s extensive special features include audio commentary with director James Franco, Dave Franco, Tommy Wiseau, Greg Sestero

Unsurprised

Probably.

I admired Tommy in the movie for being insanely (and I do mean insanely) optimistic about being a star, and Alison Brie was really hot in it, but otherwise it was pretty mediocre. There were so many comic actors in the movie who obviously wanted to be a part of it for whatever reason that it was fucking annoying.

scotchnaut

Ya know, back in the day (before marriage) when I was fit as hell, a fit girl was my thing. These days, not so much. Weird, right?

King Hippo

This might be a strange tourney year, Xavier and Wahoowa are legit good, y’all.

/I’m scared to

theeWeeBabySeamus

UVa actually has enough offense this year to make a deep run.
It’s weird times, y’all.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Oh sure, she wasn’t at TopGolf the night I was there. Or ever at TPC Scottsdale the days I was there.
I think she’s avoiding me.
I should stalk her probably, huh?

Hitler took a sub from Bertesgarden(?) to Argentina? Please, Subway wasn’t even a franchise yet. This doc just gets more and more ludicrous. smgdh

Gratliff

I don’t think I saw this on the open thread yesterday, so Quentin Tarantino should be done for saying the girl Roman Polanski raped actually wanted it, so it doesn’t count, and then doubling down on it when both Stern and Robin Quivers pushed back on air, right?

Gratliff

More importantly, how did this fly under the radar as long as it did?

Sharkbait

God damnit Tarantino

Unsurprised

A lot of Polanski’s defenders, and there are many who are quite famous, basically make the same argument but couched in slightly more diplomatic terms like “it was the times” because, as fuck up as it is, that was how things went then.

Gratliff

The lot of them deserve every ounce of derision they get for it. The fucking actual rapist pled guilty before fleeing.

Unsurprised

You’re preaching to the choir.

King Hippo

McDaniels is gonna get the P*ts job when Grumblelord and Dreamboat retire, and it will be GLORIOUS

WCS

Offensive coordinator/QB coach Tim Tebow!

Where is my #ShameFood, Pizza Hut? I gave you 48 hrs after the Superb Owl to recover.

Someday I’ll remember to order one o them desssert pizzas that they have at the buffet.

So I guess we’re not getting rid of TNF any time soon then.

I could see Fox showing TNF on Friday, though.

goddamned Butler ain’t missed a shot in the 2nd half

scotchnaut

Butler has really rebounded well from his benching in the Superb Owl.

Gratliff

I haven’t watched Inside the NFL in 12 years. Gonna watch this shit like 15 times. Gonna go find a fucking blank VHS tape somewhere.

King Hippo

I still have my VHS tape of the Donks/Favrenis Superb Owl. Don’t think I ever watched it again, maybe deep down I was afraid the result would change. Maybe someone can burn it to DVD.

Gratliff

I bought a VCR on ebay 6 years ago to convert all my VHS shit to digitial. It has never been taken out of the box it was shipped in. Could be filled with coke for all I know. Should probably go check on that.

King Hippo

lmk if the box is full of coke

Gratliff

Regret to inform you that the box is in fact full of VCRs

King Hippo

/sad trombone

Unsurprised

In a museum?

scotchnaut

Watching an Argentinian(?) doc on the possibility of Hitler escaping to South America. Btw, the ‘Umbrella Man’ at the Kennedy assassination was announcing to the leaders of The Business Plot 2.0 that Hitler had passed away.

/the sex that The Babushka Lady and Lee Bowers had on the night of Nov. 23rd 1963 must have been incredible…

Jim Irsay is a national treasure.

It makes one wonder what it would be like if, say, Baltimore, were run by an actively using crackhead. Like a character off The Chapelle Show.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Oh, so now we’re talking BOB Irsay huh?
Are you people just trynna send Fozz into a homicidal rage or what????????

Unsurprised

This is the closest brush with utter doom Indianapolis has faced since the time Shake Shack ran out of ShackSauce during Gen Con.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

That is the smartest decision Josh McDaniels has ever made.

Gratliff

That is the smartest decision Josh McDaniels has ever ever made for the Colts. Teams need to stop grasping at dicks to suck just because they were under the Belichik tree.

Spanky Datass

Haven’t the Clots aready hired a few coaches that McDaniels wanted? Fuckin’ mess.

WCS

Irsay is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo high right now.

Unsurprised

Naturally. It’s almost 8.

Luckily, it’ll make taking the news easier.

Schefty reporting live from The Philippines?

I’d shoot under par with her fo’ sho’.

Meaning I’d prematurely ejaculate, for those who aren’t following along at home.

Oooooof.

I’d page Paige to my white courtesy telephone, if you know what I mean.

Gratliff

Deviant Art is great place to find photo realistic fantasy landscapes that belong in a museum with a thumbnail of a suggested piece that consists of Sonic sucking one of Crash Bandicoot’s 3 dicks.

scotchnaut

I knew Crash was holding out on me! He told me he had only 2 dicks. I want my money back!

My $200 ML bet on Xavier (+165!!??) looks pretty good. Also have smaller MLs on BC and Georgetown. And a similar ATS bet on UK against the Vols (-3).

theeWeeBabySeamus

I almost went +800 ML on G’Town the other night and didn’t. Fortunately they lost and I felt smrt.
Well…smrt-ish.

that one where they blew late big-ish lead and lost in OT?

I almost bet that too
