Your “Golf Leafs Golf” Thursday Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

• Stealing from Crimebeat!
  • 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster has been officially charged with one felony for domestic violence with aggravated bodily harm, another felony for forcefully attempting to prevent the victim from reporting the crime, and a third felony for possessing an assault weapon.
    • Foster is also charged with a misdemeanor for possessing a large capacity magazine.
  • If convicted of everything, he’s looking at up to 11 years in prison.
    • Naturally, the 49ers will likely move on from him.
      • It’s a shame the stink of this will stay on the Niners & not where it belongs – Alabama, where he first ran into these sort of difficulties.

• The Seahawks have helped Colin Kaepernick with his collusion case by scrapping a visit he was to make to the team.
  • They were going to bring him in for workouts as a backup to the Charmslinger, but he wouldn’t give them an answer about his kneeling so they just cancelled the workout.
    • If you want to meet the assholes of society, drop down into PFT’s comments.
  • Or, there’s another take on the whole thing – it’s a “postponement”.

The #Seahawks did postpone a tentatively scheduled workout with Colin Kaepernick, as @AdamSchefter reported. It was not because he said he declined to stop kneeling, tho. The team asked for his plan moving forward on how to handle everything and there was not a firm plan.

• The Browns have signed Jarvis Landry for five years at $75.5 million, with $47 million guaranteed.
  • That’s a lot of money for outrunning Tyrod Taylor’s underthrown passes.
  • FYI – the Browns have $70 million in 2018 cap space, so $15 million for Landry is a lot, but really nothing in the grand scheme of Year-22 of rebuilding.

• A former Dolphins cheerleader is suing the Fins for gender & religious discrimination.
  • She alleges she was treated like a piece of meat, and that she was derided for “not being a woman”.
  • “The officials asked her to stop discussing her virginity, according to the complaint.” and specifically that she could no longer discuss her personal vow to forego sex before marriage
    • Which grew out of her posting a picture of her 2016 baptism on social media.
