Your “No One Likes Us; We Don’t Care” Thursday Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

  • So, the market cap is now set at 5 years, $137 million, with $74 million guaranteed.
    • I don’t know who they’re going to have in front of him, though.
    • Meanwhile, Tom Brady is turning 41, and his backup is Brian Hoyer.
      • Maybe they can turn that second-round pick into something tangible.
      • But at least they’ve got former Colts head coach Josh McDaniels back as OC in New England.
  • On that front, the Colts are looking to interview Leslie Frazier for their HC vacancy.
    • He spent two years as an assistant with Tony Dungy on the Colts staff, so he has an Indy pedigree.
      • It seems like more than a Rooney Rule interview.
  • Now the [Redacteds] are blaming Kirk Cousins for them trading for/signing Alex Smith.
    • They claim “mixed messages”, because they couldn’t understand what he meant by “pay me or trade me”.
  • Robert Kraft is probably a little miffed that Bill Belichick didn’t fill him in on the Malcolm Butler plan for The Big Game™®©
    • “Coach always gives me a pretty good overview before the game,” Kraft told CNBC the Friday before the Super Bowl.
    • This article’s thoughts on why Butler was sat date back to Super Bowl XXV, when Belichick was the Giants DC against the Bills.
      • He let Thurman Thomas run all over the Giants, in order to keep Kelly from throwing the ball.
      • Thinking is, he wanted the Eagles to be similarly lulled to sleep by keeping Butler on the sidelines.

Finally, because God hates us all for revelling in Patriots schadenfreude, si.com asked Tim Tebow about playing in the XFL.

  • Never mind he is still trying to become a NY Met.
  • I’m reproducing it here so you don’t reward such media buffonery with extra page clicks:

SI.com: When Vince McMahon announced the return of the XFL, everyone on Twitter wanted you and Johnny Manziel in the league. Were you aware of that?

Tebow: I’ve had a lot of people ask me about it, but I didn’t know those were the two things on Twitter. I can’t say I follow it that closely.

SI.com: On his conference call, McMahon said you’d be welcome in the league. Have you thought about seeing what happens when that league launches?

Tebow: That’s very nice of him, but 2020 is a long way from now. I’m focused on today, I’m focused on spring training and a lot of things before that. I’m not even close to thinking about that right now.

SI.com: So that’s not a “no” or a “yes.”

Tebow: What if it’s a “I have no idea?” That’s in 2020 and I’m super excited about baseball.


Jason Kelce had the best time at the Eagles parade.

Something tells me he can crowdsource the fine. Stone Cold should chip in based on the bump in merch sales.

Update on my weird youtube glitches…

I thought maybe it was just a firefox issue. It’s not. I disabled all plug ins/add ons. Same thing. Same thing also is happening in every browser, even new ones I just downloaded just to check/troubleshoot.

This is really weird. Oh well, I’ll figure it out tomorrow. I gotta get to writing if you guys want sexy tomorrow.

I’ll belay resupplying the spank bank for a week in the name of PATROITSM. I’ve probably got most of whatever you have in store, anyway.

theeWeeBabySeamus

That, Sir, is a very interesting point. Perhaps…and hear me out here…perhaps YOU should be the one to guest write it? I for one would love to read that.

Or at the very least supply me with a selection of your favs so I don’t fuck it up?

Seriously. Consider the guest writing. Even co-writing it would be cool. Think on it.

Unsurprised

The horse-poop eater is getting a SB ring, right?

WCS

It’s Philadelphia, he’s getting a statue.

Shit.
Vegas has 2 goals on just 5 shots on goal.

LOBSTERS AND CIGARETTES!

Unsurprised

I saw I, Tonya again while I waited to get my phone battery replaced. I also caught the very end of Lady Bird and cried again.

Anyway, at least Tonya gave as good as she got. I haven’t seen that many nut shots in one movie since the I watched the Jackass movie.

Unsurprised

Is posterizing still a thing?

Still not even the worst thing to happen that game.

Good news guys!
I finished up my first book of the year!
Its called Capitalism without Capital: The Rise of The Intangible Economy

Really dry, economic analysis but overall it was interesting!

I’ll wait until Michael Bay makes the movie.

I’m reading a book on the Whiskey Rebellion. Alexander Hamilton was an asshole.

Seriously, can someone drag Rand Paul off the Senate Floor? He’s not even filibustering!

Can we then drag him behind a truck after?

As far as you know.

Anybody else having a glitch with youtube tonight?
Can’t tell if it’s just me or not.

Mr. Ayo

It’s you

theeWeeBabySeamus

It usually for most things so that was my presumption as well.

I can load vids I’ve got bookmarked. But searches are a no go and clicking on different links on the little side thingy are a no go.

Weird.

WCS

Just go to pornhub.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Later.

Mr. Ayo

I just searched for seamus and got this. Seems right.

I’m truly LMFAO’ing right now. That’s awesome.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Additional info…if I right click and tell it to open in new tab from the links on the side thingy, that works.

I think my computer is fucked up again. Goddammit.

Wait a minute…(turns around)…ROMONOBYL!!! GET OUT!!! DID YOU NOT NOTICE THE TIE ON THE DOOR KNOB?!

I thought the signal was a wire hangar!

No! Wire Hanger’s a solo act. Tie is a group ensemble.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

YOU’VE GOT TWO MONITORS NOW??

blaxabbath

If you want any proof that the pac-12 deserves 0 tournament teams this year, just watch UA/UCLA. This is two bad teams wearing uniforms that, in practically any other year, at least one would be worn by a Sweet Sixteen squad.

And ASU still manages to be in the bottom quarter of conference, even this year.

Romonobyl

So how many of you would be willing to give the luge a try, and how much alcohol would be required before strapping on the sled?

WCS

I’d have to die from alcohol poisoning before you got me up there.

Romonobyl

Getting up there is easy, it’s the getting down part where things can become a little dicey.

Redshirt

Not really. Once you get started, gravity and low drag coefficient pretty much takes over.

Romonobyl

How could that end badly?!

Mr. Ayo

“…….”

/crippling fear of heights

Mr. Ayo

Yes please. No alcohol required.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I’d try it, but I’d prefer not to be drunk while doing so.
Maybe a little high, though.

Senor Weaselo

I did the alpine slide once, which was lower-speed luge but with wheels. So none, it’s actually one of the sports I’d want to try! Ski jumping would be another one, but I’d end up killing myself.

Skeleton on the other hand, different story. Okay, I’d probably still try it.

Romonobyl

Wide World of Sports killed ski jumping for me.

comment image

Brick Meathook

He’s the greatest ski jumper of all time

No alcohol. But money would have to be required. Nothing outrageous. Just something for me to retire on or at least have my family have fun after my funeral.

The local news is 10 minutes into their newscast and have talked about nothing but the Duke/U*NC game so far. They just ran Roy Williams’ post game presser live (I shit you not). But the funniest part is that when they went back to the anchors, the dumb girl turned to the dumb guy and said words to the effect of….

“Roy seems pretty happy. I don’t know if his players will have to go to class tomorrow!!!”

Yeah, Honey. “Tomorrow”.

Yes, I’m still giggling.

Me (looks up to Heaven): “Nice one, God.”

So Spirit Airlines told a 21 year old woman she couldn’t take her support hamster on the plane, so she flushed it down the Ladies Room shitter.
I stopped at “support hamster”.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I had a support hamster which inadvertently got flushed down the shitter too!!!!

That was a gerbil. Git yer urban legends straight ya rookie!

So let me get this straight. For the first time in while, we had both political parties, both bicamerals and the President all agree on something and it doesn’t work and we’re shutting down the government.

WHAT IN THE HELL?!

Basically a penis measuring contest at a global scale.

theeWeeBabySeamus

It’s kinda funny hearing all the hype leading up to this Duke/U*NC game, and being able to remind everyone involved (most of whom didn’t attend either school) that we lowly wolven sort kicked both dey asses already this year.

Fun week.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I don’t care about the teams one way or the other, but find it interesting that they are 50-50 and are two points difference or some shit.

*heard it on the radio; must be true.

theeWeeBabySeamus

It used to annoy me to be honest. Mostly because the idiots who talk the most shit never attended either school (or any school for that matter…including HS probably). I have some of them in my own family, frankly.

But then I discovered the magic phrase about a decade ago…

I wear an NC State shirt because I went to NC State.
You wear a Duke/U*NC shirt because you went to Walmart.

It’s funny how much that irritates people when it’s true.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

It is pretty amazing that is the case after 100 games and that fans of either team seem to think that one school is completely dominant.

U*NC-Dook is the All Takes Matter of rivalries.

Gilligan’s Island S:2 EP:4 – The Professor Finally Gets Some.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Big ass, like 10 feet of ass, but extremely well proportioned.

Brick Meathook

That’s the episode where the Skipper rapes everybody, and then rapes the Professor twice. Rarely shown since its original air date.

Romonobyl

That show premiered right after the JFK assassination so it was preempted. Ppl forget that.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Not sure what you were watching or drinking; the Skipper was watching Ginger and Mary Anne go at it through his favorite Hut Hole (TM). He is a watcher, not a raper.

theeWeeBabySeamus

How do I apply for that job?

Seamus has you tomorrow for (hopefully) a sexy Olympic Open Thread

That’s some kind of smarty pants reference about whether I’m sober enough to type straight, isn’t it????

WCS

It’s not not about that.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hehe, fair enough.

In all honesty, tomorrow was going to be your request. But that was before I realized how excited everyone would be over the Olympics. I kinda figured everyone would be meh re: Olympics so it was gonna be a tangential mention. But apparently I miscalculated on that.

So I’m bumping you back a week. Go sit in the green room and pout until next week I guess?
(Seriously, I don’t want your week to get overshadowed, that’s the real reason.)

Vikings pick up Eagles’ QB coach for OC. Time will tell if they actually have a QB under contract next year.

WCS

Vikes will trade for Cousins by offering a seventh-round pick and a Snickers bar. Dan Snyder will call it the greatest trade in league history.

Senor Weaselo

It depends, how big of a Snickers bar are we talking?

I just couldn’t see Son of Clem covering 18 in hoopsball. They almost gave it up in garbage time.

Lost in all that good, good chaos is how close we were to Bill Belichik not giving a fuck and actively reviling Patriots’ fans for enjoying one thing a year

This article’s headline might has well read, “Scotchnaut commits Seppukku”

That just puts the bullet in the head to end the Sens’ suffering this season.

Senor Weaselo

We would have also allowed “Maestro commits seppuku.” He’s had a rough week.

So, question for the IT people here:

Do any of you have experience with Supermicro servers? If so, how the fuck do you factory reset one?

Work was gonna scrap 2 servers. So they gave them to me. I only know the IP of one of the 2, and even then I can’t get in to it. So I want to factory reset to get rid of the configuration

Gratliff

We have one at work, but I haven’t had to deal with it much. Did you try the default un: admin pw: admin login? You will be shocked and appalled at how often that works anywhere in the world. Looks like the actual command is just ipmicfg -fd. This guy’s got a write up on the whole process using a DOS LiveCD to reset the password to start. https://www.servethehome.com/reset-supermicro-ipmi-password-default-lost-login/

I don’t enjoy watching the knob-slobbering Blues fixture (though for the first time in decades, I will actively cheer for Duke instead of JUST earthquake).

I don’t watch pro wrestling anymore but whatever Rand Paul is doing now — rediscovering (it’s all an act, I know) his libertarian roots right when a massive funding bill is up against a shutdown deadline — I’m waiting for him to throw on a McCoy jersey and powerbomb Mitch McConnell through a table.

Except from a powerbombing standpoint, Rand Paul is a bottom (as certain neighbors can attest).
