Your “One Week Until The Madness Begins” Thursday Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

  • Following on the heels of Jeff Ireland and Marquand Manuel, some yet-to-be-named official decided to go for the whole magilla and asked Derrius Guice if he liked men AND if his mother was a whore.
    • The League has found that to be “completely inappropriate”, and I’m sure appropriate HR reminders will be sent out.
    • Also, the “Magilla Gorilla” theme song was fantastic.

  • In SHOCKING news, Le’Veon Bell says that unless he signs a new deal, the franchise tag means he’s skipping training camp again.
    • But he won’t sit out the season.
      • BUT the Steelers might not see him until Week 10, the deadline for picking up an accrued season and ensuring eligibility for 2019 free agency.
  • Expect to hear Joe Theismann beaking this weekend, because the [Redacteds] are giving 1987 Super Bowl rings to the scab players that started the season.
    • It all comes out of the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary titled “Year of the Scab” and the relatively warm reception by former union players, who used their union influence back in the day to prevent the replacements getting a ring.
      • They did get a winner’s share of the money, however.

It’s Madness, I tell you.

MADNESS!

Anyone else see the Anteaters beat Hawaii in the first round of the Big West tourney on a late shot by Max Hazzard (grandson of Walt)? No? Just me? Ok, then, carry on.

Well, at least to lower income people.

Unsurprised

There are only 540 billionaires in the U.S. This is to the other 320 million of us.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

500,000 and over are fine, ~100,000 and under are really fucked ones…. well and all future generations. Brownish near and under the poverty line are DP’d.

Unsurprised

True. So I guess it’s just 300 million of us who are FUBAR.

I was just thinking that I’m pretty sure I only know one actual Trump voter and he’s a multimillionaire, so I totally understand why he voted for Trump. I don’t know why I talk to him, though, but I am an idiot.

WCS

Greetings from Sandusky, Ohio, where the family and the in-laws are at their annual trip to the indoor waterpark. Let’s see how the Tracksuits put me in a bad mood tonight!

For the record, the one team I didn’t want to see in the Big 12 (ish) Tournament was the Rapists.

Mr. Ayo

Sandusky and indoor water areas are a problematic pairing.

WCS

Especially with all the minors running around in bathing suits.

Unsurprised

All that rhythmic slapping is distracting

Senor Weaselo

I don’t know if that’s a good idea. I wouldn’t want to take my family to Sandusky’s water facilities.

Unsurprised

Definitely not the boys. The girls are safe.

herodotus450

Fun* Fact**: Upper Sandusky is South of Sandusky.
* Fun not guaranteed
**Factness IS guaranteed

I know we have a few lawyer types here, but if you do the podcast thing, listen to Mic Dicta.

Apparently the clock struck March for the Flyers. I can’t understand this fucking team.

I know it can’t happen, but I’d be really happy if Carolina finds a way to not score for this whole game.

I hope so. I’m halfway through a bottle of white wine, which is like Wine Lite if I understand my alcohol.

Absolutely. It isn’t regret and dignity free though.

herodotus450

Can dignity go negative?

I’ll let you know after this weekend.

Evening commentists. I see the Tarheels are playing, how is the rage level?

Meh. I’ll hate ’em once it tips.
Miami might be the worst 3 seed in evar tho, so I don’t have much hope.

There seems to be no join button for the bracket challenge.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hmmmmmm….
Lemme look.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I see a “join group” and “leave group” button on mine, so I’m not sure.
Want me to call ESPN Canadia and ask ’em what it’s all aboot?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Oh wait, I see the Warthog got in. Maybe he can guide us if he’s still around?

As usual, I’m too late to be of any use except cleaning up

If I knew how to insert video I’d put the clip from Clerks about jizz mopping here

He brought professionalism to the TEN locker room, had a dynamite 1 million touches season, and last year prevented Mariota getting killed during 2.3 YPR games. Best looking guy in uniform too, IMO.

CSB Alert:

It fucking boggles my mind why basketball bigs don’t have free-throw %’s at 70 or above. Back in the high school we had 2 guys that were at about 50% or so. Coach didn’t seem to care about all those points being left off the board so I took it upon myself to play ’21’ with these guys at every opportunity.Not sure how many more games it won for us but I do know that one of the guys realized the importance of padding his stat sheet.

HOT TAEK: Bell is smart and SHOULD skip training camp. Fuck those assholes if they won’t pay him. He’s WAY better than Freeman and that’s who they are comparing him to.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

When the franchise tag was introduced, I thought it could only be used on a player once. I must have missed when they changed it to twice, but any organization that actually does it twice is beyond stupid.

herodotus450

Looks like when they use it twice the amount goes up?

...

Yeah, I believe the default is a 20% raise so it’ll get really expensive if a team keeps using it.

“beaking”?
