Oh God yes – Johnny Fucking Football met with the Patriots after his A&M pro-day redemption tour.
- There were other teams there, blah blah blah – we all want to see JFF laughing while Grumblelord’s skull vibrates like Yosemite Sam’s.
- If anyone can entice Gronk to come back, it’ll be a guy who loves partying more than him.
- Stealing from Crimebeat!:
- The Seahawks have cut Trevone Boykin after his investigation by Dallas police on domestic violence charges.

You kids play nice in the comments, or I’ll have to start leaving my drugs lying around just to take your edges off. I’VE GOT ENOUGH TRAMADOL FOR EVERYONE!
Hey folks, just wanted to share.
My company won my current contract for another 5 years.
Hell yes.
Now I can go back to being irresponsible!
Why do I have a feeling those instructions are “Kiss Your Ass Goodbye?”
Finally watching one of Chappelle’s recent Netflix specials, and frankly, not that impressed. Lot of self confidence, mixed bag on his usual innovation/insight.
But what about his outfit and makeup?
Thank you, Avalanche, for letting the Flyers make the playoffs.
In his first game back from injury, Michael Neuvirth gave up 1 goal in 28 minutes, and then injured himself again. Rick DiPietro could not be reached for comment.
DiPierto, however, was signed through 2030 for $275 million, with the Islanders, AND, through a unique agreement with Dan Snyder, will also be Washington’s starting free safety for the same contractual time frame.
Wonder if Hippo has anything riding on this…..
And then broke his sit bones.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

The front half of the horse is now his on-air producer on his Sirius show.
Really?
There are pirate feeds of so much shit, including premium podcasts and a subreddit for pirating Patreon rewards (Although I think it may have finally been banned), and so I have to assume there’s one of that if I look.
I mean … If I wanted to. I wouldn’t dare pirate anything.
/Logs off to watch tonight’s Americans.
It’s pretty good. I used to dvr his show and watch it before bed, so the radio show has slid right back into that position. It’s my unwind show when I get home from work in the morning.

It is officially too damn early / cold to care about baseball.
I’m a Padres fan. This is all we have.
Isle of Dogs is really good and really funny. It’s a shame it was so funny that the guy sitting next to me wouldn’t shut the fuck up.
Taking my g/f to see it this weekend. She’s a huge Wes Anderson fan. It’s only playing at an indie theater which is inconveniently located, but at least it’s a cool old theater.
Weird. I guess it got a big distribution here because this is Portland. :-/
Yeah, probably. I was surprised it didn’t get at least a few screens because the cast is fucking huge, but it’s not anyone important like the Rock or Vin Diesel.
Eh. Bryan Cranston, Scarlett Johansson Bill Murray. Then again, I guess Ed Norton and Jeff Goldblum aren’t huge draws, are they. But would the first three be, either? Probably not.
Meh. At least I get to drink beer at this theater. They’ve got a nice craft selection.
So do I.
Portland.
Damn. Even 911 gets shivved in Baltimore.

So the text of the rule change is that they “elimintated the requirement” to attempt an extra point (or two). Which means that it’s now optional. I love that because it means someday we might see one or the Harbaugh brothers or Schiano attempt a meaningless two point conversion out of pure spite.

Congratulations to the Florida Panthers for being the first team chasing Philadelphia to ever lose a fucking game.
Didn’t doubt Toronto for a second
And Florida scores again immediately following this. Swear to fuck.

Fucking Jay-Z…you could drop that fucker into the Sahara Desert with his cloths and a pen knife…a fucking week later, he has a casino and a clone Frank Sinatra as a door man.
Straight up…if the same dude is born into a white suburban family, the dude is a brain surgeon.
My old man hates rap. Hates people that use the N-word. But the last time I was talking to him over the phone, I had this song playing in the background and the boss man asked me what i was listening to. Now my old man follows Jay fucking Z.
On a positive note, I am now up to 8 miles of power walking a day. Its like 2 hours to get done after work.
I started a 250 lbs (1/8th of a ton) at the very end of January and I am down to like 228. The depressing thing is I got 8 lbs to get to my fucking drivers license weight.
What is staggering to me is how well I fucking hid this weight. Like I never had a gut despite being insanely overweight. Its the whole reason why I was floored I was 250 at my yearly physical.
That’s awesome. Keep it up.
Oh, it’s amazing how well fat compresses and shapes to fool us.
Its fucking great. I feel like a tool just asking for random validation from strangers…and this isn’t my goal at all to do that.
I’m kicking myself for not noticing how bad my health had gotten. What blows my mind is how good I was at hiding the weight. Like my pant size ain’t changed for shit, but I sure as shit feel better.
You weren’t asking, but even if you were, it doesn’t make you a tool. It’s totally worthwhile and justified to be proud of an accomplishment and wanting to let people know; and it’s perfectly reasonable for us to want to congratulate and validate you without prompting because it’s something we can appreciate. And around here, that’s not very common.
I gained over 80 pounds from 2010-12 or 13 and I don’t really remember noticing that much, and if I did I didn’t care enough to think too hard. It’s shocking how well it’s hidden.
On the flipside, I lost 60 pounds in about 6 months in 2016 (and have plateaued for the last 18 months) and barely noticed even when I was creating new notches in a belt until I had so much extra length in the belt after I punched a couple new holes that I had to cut 10-12″ off. But even then it wasn’t until I was actually weighted at my doctors’s offices that I realized how much I lost, first in July and then in September when I bottomed out. It was in September that I cut that belt and finally just bought a new one.
Gaining and losing weight is weird as Hell.

little mushroom boy: are you sure you can kill the lizard king?
plumber dressed as a raccoon: of course.
I decided to do an inpromptu overnight beach trip.
It doesn’t look like this. The water is fucking freezing. And my penis disappeared with no forwarding address.
Other than that, it’s all great.

I also broke my ass. Can I collect the insurance on that?
Did you insure the item for more than 100 CAD?
My ass isn’t worth that much.
Dammit.
Please contact the sender sir.
Dammit, I’m pretty sure that’s me too.

Finally got around to watching that “documentary” Exit Through The Gift Shop . Was an assignment for school. It was really cool and I liked how it touched on the commodification of art. Would recommend.

It’s important to put quotes around documentary because there’s no fucking way that was real

I love me some NJPW….its the whole reason I bother with having Sling TV…but dear lord does Dave Meltzer is so fucking over the top, he makes me wish I didn’t follow.
His over the top praise of NJPW is funny because if any of their wrestlers were even hinted at feeding him info, their careers would be dead.
I never followed Meltzer when I was younger before I took a long break from wrestling, and I don’t follow him now, but it’s fun to watch Twitter lose its shit every time he says something stupid (often). There’s a whole section of wrestling fans that I swear exist to shit on whatever NJPW’s doing just because of him. “Um, sorry, no. Golden Lovers-Young Bucks wasn’t THAT good.”
I love NJPW but Meltzer shit seems to be that everyone needs to replicate their style and booking.
Well first of all…that means like 90% of the locker room is out of work because NJPW use a tiny locker room.
Plus, the last thing Wrestling needs is everyone following the hard style. Fucking WWE is dealing with dozens of concussion lawsuits now. The only reason no one goes after the Japanese companies is because they don’t have fucking money.
I do love though seeing Cody Rhodes doing cross promotion. How the fuck WWE wasted having that guy is crazy to me.
I beg your pardon?

Won my trial today so I’m gonna celebrate like any other middle-aged white guy.
Playing a bunch of Fortnite and drinking by myself.
We blocked Epic Games at work this week, and we’re getting no shortage of death stares over it
Hi commentists,I hope you are all well. Still no sign of salmon’s with arms or a salmon arm, but I have free reign on the inlaws wine room. They want to move in the summer so he doesn’t want to take the bottles with him.
“Drink whatever the hell you want as long as I get 1 glass of it”. This my internet friends is fucking fantastic.
evening all.

But they already made The Accused
Okay, Toronto. I’m sorry for doubting you.
ALWAYS DOUBT THEM! IT IS A MIRAGE! You live in Michigan now, HAS TSN GOTTEN TO YOU GRAT???? BLINK TWICE IF THEY HAVE!
•Not that he’s officially on the market, but if he were the Giants want two first-round picks for Odell Beckham Jr.
Yeah, and I want to be on a deserted island being hunted by an overdosed-on-Klingon-aphrodisiacs Scarlett Johansson. But we’re both going to have to learn to live with disappointment.
I have had quite the week of pretty much nothing going my way. On Monday, I got a flat tire in the parking lot after trying to pick up lunch for my coworker who was in meetings most of the day, got a nasty sore throat as a cold is going around the office and work has been a nightmare trying to last minute scramble for a website launch next week.
But now, things are turning around. I’m taking tomorrow off and going downtown to watch the Padres lose their home opener and the game on Friday AND just learned that I’m getting my full bonus and a decent raise! Now if only I can just drink this sickness away…
Congrats on the week turnaround. Maybe the Padres will win…
lol
Whoa, whoa, WHOA!!! The man just got a bonus and a raise; let’s not ask for the impossible here!

Look at it like this – by Thursday night, they’ll be a half-game ahead of where they would’ve been otherwise.
1st Place – 1/2 GA – 0-0 record?
