NFL News:

• Set your PVRs for Thursday, August 2nd – Ravens-Bears is your 2018 Hall of Fame game
  • I’m guessing so Urlacher & Stabby can get all weepy at the game they love so much.

• Mike Shula is leaving the Panthers for the Giants to be the offensive coordinator.
  • This has got minds working that the Giants may draft a QB that can be tutored to take over from Eli.

• Not content to play in Canada, Johnny Manziel is sniffing around teams needing a QB and trying to finagle a tryout.
  • He claims to be receiving treatment for a bipolar disorder.

Night 2/2 of the Westminster Dog Show is tonight. (8:00PM – FS1 {USA} / NatGeo {Canada}.)

Last night’s winners were the

• Hound: Borzoi

• Herding: Border Collie

The order of events tonight are scheduled to be:

• Sporting
• Working
• Terriers

• Best In Show

Naturally, I’m pulling for the Bernese Mountain Dog, as I have owned or own four in my adult lifetime.

Of course, a Bernese has never won Westminster, and I don’t expect that to change tonight based on the tight-asses who were judging last night. So, once the Berners are discriminated against again eliminated, I will throw my support behind litre_cola & Oxipug and root for Biggie.

Thanks to Seamus for covering the Open Thread last night. I spent the three-day weekend enjoying some beers & barbecuing. Chicken on Saturday + Ribs on Sunday = Chicken & Ribs on Monday. THAT’S GOOD EATIN’!
