Possibly because they don’t want their news to get lost in all the March Madness madness, events started unfolding quite quickly on the proposed trade front this weekend. Since 5:00ET Friday, in no particular order:
- the Browns acquired Jarvis Landry from the Dolphins, for picks
- the Bills traded Tyrod Taylor to the Browns, for picks
- the Browns traded DeShone Kizer to the Packers, for Damarious Randall
- the Browns traded DT Danny Shelton to the Patriots for a conditional pick
Which adds up to these hagiographic, yet laughable, ‘reimaginings’ of Sashi Brown’s time running the Browns, the Jets suddenly having the most cap space available ($92 million), this sober reminder of failures past,
For all the credit and praise going to Sashi Brown for salary cap space, draft picks #Browns GM John Dorsey is using, it must be remembered team wouldn't need to trade for QB, WR and CB if previous regime had done better job identifying and acquiring talent.
— Scott Petrak ct (@ScottPetrak) March 10, 2018
and this nugget:
When the Tyrod Taylor trade is official, the #Bills will hold five of the 2018 draft's first 65 picks.
Rd. 1, No. 21
Rd. 1, No. 22 (via #Chiefs)
Rd. 2, No. 53
Rd. 2, No. 56 (via #Rams)
Rd. 3, No. 65 (via #Browns)— NFL Draft (@NFLDraft) March 9, 2018
And the Browns still have most of their upper-round picks. Dare I say, strategic?
Oh, and Sean McDonough has decided to quit the Monday Night booth & go back to college games. He’s being replaced by someone named Joe Tessitore.

As Seamus said on Friday, it’s a Whole Lotta Hippo for the next week.
HOPE YOU CAN HANDLE IT!
The zone is exactly as terrible as the spread offense.
But the spread is at least fun to watch.
HIPpo got anything on pac12 final? Line’s moves from 1.5 to 3.5 since last night, I understand.
With all the derp bullshit taking place in the metro, it’s STILL a two point difference between the Caps, Pens, and Flyers. I would not be surprised to see all three go out in the first round.
OK Virginny…let’s try not to fuck this up.
PAC-12 championship line up announcement!
Opossums are having their moment on Twitter and, frankly, it’s about time.
Sara Bareilles: Still hot.

Maybe a North Carolina 8, but when you move out here you gotta recalibrate.
I have no strong sports opinions at the moment. Some team I hate needs to do something hateable.
Remember the Olympics? Me neither.

Oh shit. Ash vs. Evil Dead season 3 started and I didn’t even realize it. That’s why you don’t start shit in the middle of February.
Did I mention my ducks came home a coupla weeks ago? I thought they had gotten all ett up. But nope, still alive and flapping. Not fapping.
Nice thing about being old, much easier to go home alone. Don’t need some dude shoving fingers in places
Ummmmmmm….whut???????

Well, when a man and woman like each other very much…
Well, I don’t need to kill this prostitute, but calling her an Uber just doesn’t provide the same rush.
ME NEITHER!
How that hypothetical dude would still have all of his fingers I’ll never know.
Penguins getting a thrashing from the Mapled Leafs; Murray?

ANTARCTICA HAS GONE WILD!
Oh wait……
I’m convinced the only reason Trump is big on executing drug dealers is because he recently watched Licence to Kill.
Bless your heart!
I like the Timothy Dalton movies much more than most people do. I mean, it’s all horribly sexist and jingoistic, but sometimes you just want to see some people get eaten by sharks.
The shark was the protagonist in Jaws, NO ONE DENIES THIS!
Death Wish did just come out….
I saw some screencapped reviews for that movie and HOOBOY did the repressed, angry, suburban/exurban middle-aged white dude demographic eat that shit up even though one guy complained too many of the villains were white.
Not sure about the new one, but the original 7 basically boiled down to: guns save the old neighborhood from dirty ethnic types. Can’t imagine why anyone thought that message would be popular again…
I know the sequels became straight up murder fantasies, but as I recall the original depicted vengeance as ultimately self-destructive and incapable of delivering justice but somehow I don’t think that’s the message today’s audiences will get.
I bet in the next one Bruce Willis will play a teacher.
And he’ll still be described as being in his early 40’s lol
Fucking with the clocks is bullshit and I refuse to accept it.
Woo arizona apparently

Getting old is having a bachelor party buy you only one drink, correction 2, while being surrounded by a bachelor party that is drunk as fuck
And here I thought getting old was having your balls hang lower than your penis.
Meh, shows what I know.
WHERE’S MY TWO DRINKS YOU SHITTY BACHELOR PARTY?????????
They did actually buy other dudes more shots than me, and the age at which your balls go lower than your penis is highly variable, known dudes who have always been that way
No comment.
😛
The BBC series Planet Earf : Blue Planet II is doin a “making of” episode and so far it’s really good.
Also, SPROTS!!!!1!
So Buffalo is Mid America?
It’s west of New York City, so yes.
Who’s got Providence on the ML?
Three years for Sherman. Gonna be weird seeing him on the other side of C-Link.
SF is interesting. I think they’ll still fall short of the playoffs next year. Feels like it’s the Rams time and SEA/SF will be first ones out.
Places I’ll probably never visit include Myrtle Beach.

Howdy. Skiing today didn’t suck for a change.
Bachelor parties are fucking hilarious
Dammit. Rob sent me down the AC/DC hole.

Better than the Death hole. That’s too bleak for a Saturday night.
How is Nova a 2 seed in the Big East tourney?!
Xavier beat them out by a game, I believe.
Trump: “Vote for Rick What-His-Name! Come up on stage.”
(Rick What-His-Name goes on stage. Trump walks in front of Rick to clap.)
I forget who pointed it out to me, but it’s as if his brain stopped processing information about things not directly related to him around 1989 or so.
(watching Trump’s speech)
Get a better candidate, Dems! Someone that can beat Trump!
Crying basketball players never gets old. So glad we show them on tv.
Oh dear God…when did the ACCN hire Jason Capel as an interviewer?
Go Griz!
Where is the Mountain West playing? This set up with the media behind the bench is…odd.
It’s Vegas, Baby!!!!!!!
Fuck you Elon Musk. You need to return my calls.
I WANNA GO TO MARS!!!!!!

I would rather be boiled in oil than watch the goddamned Holes win the ACCT again tonight. The refs will foul everyone on Wahoowa out.
Dude next to me expressing the controversial opinion that Kaep is better than Blaine Gabbert, the guy he’s arguing with is a Tebow fan 😛
How do they feel about Sherman on the 49ers?
They were talking about that earlier but I wasn’t paying attention yet, SAD!
Really looking forward to hearing Sherman talk about Wilson once he’s elsewhere.
Can Kaep hit the breaking ball? If so, he’s better than Tebow at two sports.
It’s a draw as to who’s better at kneeling though smh
“Stormy Daniels is the best. Now, for anything else I’ll refer you to outside council.” -Fat sarah Huckabee Sanders
Hah! They’re Skins and Eagles fans!
In a complete upset: a new song/band that doesn’t suck.
The singer sounds like a reincarnated Robert Plant.
Wait, he’s still alive?

I’ve been pushing Greta Van Fleet in open threads for weeks! Can’t believe those kids are teenagers.
Has anyone else noticed that every city appears to have a local news guy (usually on the morning show with all the hot old blonds) that looks, at 75%, like Paul Manafort.
I think there is a big super super soaker fight , sponsored by carnival cruises, on tv at this bar.
The only thing more impressive than that UMBC win is their small business loan interest rates!
/because they sound like a bank, don’t you see
Nothing but net with that one.
I got CLE as a playoff team in ‘19.

oh, it’s just cause when Providence loses I’mma need that blade + aspirin bath is all. 😀
$1.80 Yuenglings last week in Philly. It was glorious. Overheard someone asking about specials and the dude was like ‘everything, this bar is fucking cheap’
I’ll jusy bring my comment that I accidentally posted in the am thread to here…
I’m in a bar on SD that is flying a Chargers flag. The joke, then, is that it’s one of these White nationalism bars so they’re used to rooting against their own interests.
on the ESPN scoreboard page, the Toledo Rocket logo looks like a tampon
Hehehehehe
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Don’t forget to turn your clocks forward tonight.
Wait, whut? Oh shit, right. Turn your clocks back tonight. BACK.
Except for you assholes in Arizona. Weird fuckers.
No wait…forward.
THIS SHIT IS CONFUSING.
It’s a sad sad day when Arizona is actually the best at something
I’m sorry, did you grow up in some place where droughts are not a source of civic pride?!
If I’m being honest, I totes miss living in Arizona.
Once I killed my wife off, it was fun.
Every time I joke about my dead ex wife it seems to kill the conversation.
You guys are way too sensitive.
big if true
Mesa PD investigated me. No shit.
I’m still a little bitter, perhaps.
ignoring MLK ain’t a thang?
Hey! Deal is a deal; we keep the super bowl, you get your annual rap concert or whatever it is.
But now that we’re off the list for a while, I expect some anti-gay legislation any minute.
If any of you folks should find yourself in the LAX area tomorrow afternoon and would like a sneak preview of NEXT week’s Sunday Gravy come on by, there’s plenty. And holy good goddamn this is shaping up to be an epic fucking meal. I’ve been working on this meal since Tuesday and spent the entire day today in the kitchen and I still haven’t started the main dish.
Fuck, my back is sore from cooking.
Damn dude, wish I was. That is tempting to get a redeye tho.
I spent an hour and a half making butter. BUTTER!

Delicious compound butter?
If you remember a conversation we had about a specific ethnic type bread then this is the same ethnicity and it’s a staple in all of their cooking.
I ghee what you did there.
This guy gheets it.
