Your “Huh – Actual Students Came To School” Tuesday Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

• This is sure going to hurt morale at The Dak Prescott School Of Maturity, but Doug Martin has been cut by the Bucs.
  • Considering the average lifespan of a hamster is two years, it appears the muscled-kind can triple that span.

• As predicted/feared, Rae Carruth is seeking custody of his son.
  • The physically-challenged son, because he was a premie, because his father hired some men to kill his mother so he wouldn’t be born.
    • I can’t wait for the “Movie of the Week”.

• Baker Mayfield has announced he will not attend the NFL Draft in Arlington.
  • Because why show your appreciation at being drafted to a tire fire LIVE on TV.

^{It’s gone so well before.}

• Today marks the opening of the Franchise & Transition Tag window.
  • In an unrelated event, Kirk Cousins has had his phone turned off all day.

• In phrasing that doesn’t remind of Hank Scorpio or Ernst Blofeld, nfl.com names a frontrunner to buy the Panthers.
  • It’s “Billionaire hedge fund manager and philanthropist David Tepper”, because those are usually two great things that go great together.
  • To further elaborate, “Tepper, whose net worth has been estimated at $11 billion by Forbes, currently owns a five percent stake in the Steelers.”
    • so it looks like he’s willing to up his game, like Jimmy Haslam.
