NFL News:
-
This guy gets race relations. Well, Bob McNair thinks offseason is the right time to wade back into his “inmates” comments again.
- “The main thing I regret is apologizing,” McNair said.
- It also really helped facilitate the Duane Brown trade to Seattle, as McNair also told the newspaper that when he met with the Texans later that week to try and “tell them the truth,” Brown was trying to be a “troublemaker” in the locker room.
- Scary news: a fan comment on Julian Edelman’s Instagram page led to the prevention of a school shooting.
- Some kid left a comment about shooting up his school, and someone else alerted Edelman to it.
- His assistant found the comment, called the cops, who did a records search & found the IP, alerted the authorities in the city, and found the kid who indeed had a grudge & a couple of guns.
- Some kid left a comment about shooting up his school, and someone else alerted Edelman to it.
- cbssports.com took time out from the Masters to weave a tale about the Seahawks possibly dumping Russell Wilson after his contract expires.
- It’s a truly fantastic combination of “what ifs”, “who’s thats” and “quite possiblys”, with just a hint of John Schneider visiting Josh Allen’s pro day to get the keyboard-a-tappin’.
Finally, the Titans revealed their new uniforms last night.
The @Titans' new uniforms are 🔥

At least they threw a nice party, something Nashville can do quite well.
And they brought out the nice white lady who owns/inherited the team, Amy Adams Strunk.
Kevin Byard use the opportunity to another shot at Deion Sanders over Deion’s “Just a fan” dismissal of Byard.
For context, the stadium is right behind the stage, across the river.
Jeff Fisher was not invited.
Just in time to feed all your gambling addictions, William Hill has released their prop bets for the 2018 NFL Draft.
- Apparently, this required special permission from the Nevada Gaming Control Board, because the result isn’t determined on a field.
ESPN provides four of the possible options:
- Number of Alabama players selected in Round 1:
- Over 4 (-110)
- Under 4 (-110)

- Under 1.5 (-125)
- Number of WRs selected in Round 1:
- Over 2.5 (-175)
- Under 2.5 (+155)
- Player to be drafted first:
- Sony Michel (+110)
- Nick Chubb (-130)
On the topic of GAMBLOR worship, some guy cashed in his $10 bet on Vegas winning the NHL Pacific Division.
Ten bucks on every team would only have cost $310, so kudos on winning the long shot with a shot.

Tonight is a sad day in Vancouver sports, as the Sedin twins will play their final home game. Although the franchise wasted the last five years of their careers, they played through everything with class, just like they showed at the start when their youth & size meant the epithet “Sedin sisters” was hockey shorthand for “fags”.
They never won a Cup, but they will have their numbers retired, and they’ll go into the Hall of Fame. NO – YOU’RE CRYING!
This fucking guy has a great job.
THOSE TENNESSEE TITANS, I CALL THE TORONTO ARGONAUTS BECAUSE THEY’RE BLATANTLY RIPPING OFF THEIR JERSEYS
God damn, that was a storybook ending for the Twins. Honestly, they should avoid playing Saturday.
What a great game
I’ll be damned. Not only did the Canucks manage to come back & win the game, the Sedins got the winner in OT.
Exactly.
That was amazing. I was convinced Daniel was going to turn it over, resulting in the Coyotes scoring on the PK, as he is a turnover machine at the point. Glad he proved me wrong.

Titans uniforms:
-Love LOVE the helmet
-Like that the Nike swoosh is not in front
-The gray triangle on shoulders, meh
-#s, ?. Saving grace: not as bad as the Bucs numbers.
Helmet is an improvement. Rest of the unis are fine — that light blue is tough to work with.
JUST DONT FUCK UP TEN COLOR RUSH!
I’d say as far as steps go, it is one. Not sure whether forward or backwards, but it is one.
Now that I think of it, I like the Donks’ numbers best. Clean straight lines and very round shapes. Who the fuck at Nike goes “Make it squarer and add spurs. Make them squint”. And how about some girth on those 3s and 7s?
It’s only April? ?
Dark helmets and hot weather sunshine do not mix well.
See!
Hey for forty bucks I can buy this part of the lock on the wooden box of an Enigma Machine! I figure if I get it I can build out the rest of the machine from there.
Of course there could be somebody out there who’s thinking “gee I’ve got this Enigma Machine if it only it had a door latch it would be perfect” so I better act quick and buy this before they do.
Seems a bit small for a Sybian

Holy shit, I must own this.
Hello eBay, I’m coming home.
You ever been on the road long enough that coming home feels real strange?
Coming home after a ten minute errand feels strange to me, so yeah.
*Probably shouldn’t walk into nieghbor’s house drunk anymore.
If you’re not welcomed, they’re not very neighborly.
Maybe it was my confusion between the fridge and the toilet….. but still.
Canucks game has started. They are already down 1-0.

Honestly, if I lived in the city that was taking place in, I would probably go. For the novelty. Hell I saw Jose Canseco play independant league ball up here in Canadia.
I think its going to be streamed.
I think Manziel is a shithead. I just think its hilarious for Browns fans to pile on him. He holds the single season win total for starting QB’s for the Browns going back like 5 seasons.
He is an easy target to blame and it was an organizational effort, 10 years in the making, for the Browns to be this bad.
These are the same idiots that buy into the whole “If we just had Carsen, the Browns would be Champs instead of the Eagles”.
Him and all the participants are trying for their dreams…I
I wanted him to come play up here. I definitely would have gone when he came to play here.
Caps year!

Flyera give up tying goal late in the third. Rinse, repeat.
At some point will be an 82-point season, where they go 0-0-82, right?
It is their destiny.
Non-finalist for the Hart Trophy, Claude Giroux, 2 points from 100 now.
Flyers tie and Pens losing. If Flyers win and Pens lose, they’ll be tied at 96 with a game to go. If the Devils also win, Devils move into the third, and Pens and Flyers become the wild cards (!?). The race for 4th seed in the Metro division and the coveted vs. Washington first round bye remains heated. What a clusterfuck.
As long as Washington beats the Preds tonight I am happy.
This Reds pitcher Homer Bailey is Ace, but sadly he’s like an European Ace. He only plays as the lower rank and never the highest.
Manfred von Richthofen would like a word with you.
Fortunately there are lots of Canadians here to protect us.
This Red’s offense is so bad I call them the No Homers Club. No HomerS, plural.
Alright Ice Redacteds, you have 1 job and that is winning this evening. Do your fucking job.
We’ve swapped the Mets and Yankees bullpens. Let’s see if anyone notices.
Flyers losing. Devils, Blue Jackets, Panthers all winning. They’re seriously going to miss the playoffs. They were in first place a month ago. Of course, they were in last place 2 months before that. I can’t tell if this is a horrific collapse or regressing to the mean.
The Tennessee Titans are a team that I consistently forget what city and division they play in. They are Jeff Fischer personified. An “eh” perpetual 7-9 team.
I was glad they changed the name, and we got to give them credit for doing that because good lord we do not need another “Utah Jazz” scenario…but for the life of me, I never understood why they chose “Titans”. It would make sense if they were in Memphis….go with an ancient Greek thing I guess. Even then, why not “The Pharaohs” or something.
I mean what does a Titan have to do with Nashville. Why not the Tennessee Tweakers? Or the Wife Beaters? The Deadbeat Dads?
The Tennessee ‘Shiners?
When I am elected dictator for life and disband all Boston sprots franchises and vacate all their wins, Vancouver and the Sedins will have their precious Cup.
You have my vote.
When you’re drunk as bananacakes, store-bought macaroni salad enhanced with freshly cracked black pepper will (pretend) to cure all your ills.
Flyers losing to the hurricanes because of course they are. At least I’ll have my sweet, sweet WrestleMania weekend indy fest starting tomorrow.

Whatever happened to Merle Oberon?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merle_Oberon#Death
Oberon retired after Interval, and moved with Wolders to Malibu, California, where she died in 1979, aged 68, after suffering a stroke. Her body was interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California.
Was Merlin Olsen buried beside her? Is that a thing in The Hollywood?
The fairy from A Midsummer Night’s Dream? I think he’s living with Puck in a condo in Greece.
(TV shows end of Homer Bailey’s 2nd No Hitter in Pittsburgh)
Ah, that’s a nice memory….
(TV then shows all the great players from the 2012 Reds who were traded away because the Reds couldn’t afford them in MLB’s lopsided economy that favors big market teams over small market teams)
…and now like every beloved Cincinnati sports memory, it always ends sour.
Womens national soccer team playing a “friendly” (assuming that means halftime lesbianism) against Mexico on FS1. We’re winning 1-0, and the National Guard’s standing between the benches.
Now that I own a slide-rule, I really need an Enigma Machine.

Jesus the numbers on the Titans uniforms are god-awful. They look like something the Common Core had its way with and then left bleeding and sobbing in the gutter.
Numbers? What’s that? -The Common Core
It looks to me like someone bred a Vikings and Bucs jersey and then color rush’d the offspring up a bit.
