Your “Now, Let’s Not Get Too Bitchy, Fellas” Wednesday Evening Open Thread

NFL Notes:

  • And it begins: Cowboys vice president of player personnel Will McClay gave his opinion on why the Cowboys released Dez Bryant, which will definitely never come back to haunt him:
    • “The (inability) to win one-on-one, to win downfield. There was inconsistency as well as some huge things in his play.”
      • “It’s a production-based business.”
    • Also a factor: he counted as $16 million against the cap for 2018 if he stayed on the roster.
      • Cutting him saved $12.5 million – his contract was pro-rated from the March bonus period.
      • Hauling water for someone, Adam Schefter ‘reports’ that many teams won’t even sign Dez for the League minimum.
  • Dreamboat says Gisele has given him permission to play for at least two more years.
    • He laments not being enough of a stay-at-home dad, which he could actually fucking be at any time if he just hung up the cleats.
  • Believing collusion is at hand, Eric Reid has initiated his own collusion case against the NFL.
    • He believes, like Colin Kaepernick, that owners are conspiring to prevent him from obtaining employment due to his political beliefs.
      • He has also contracted Kaep’s lawyer, Mark Geragos.
        • Geragos is most famous for representing Michael Jackson & Scott Peterson, and got Chris Brown probation for smacking Karrueche Tran.

   

  • The League is working on changes to the ejection language for targeted hits.
    • They are looking to add a replay review, but the owners have to approve it.
    • Examples used to highlight the rule change from the 2017 season are these plays from 2017:
      • Bears linebacker Danny Trevathan‘s on Packers receiver Davante Adams, and
      • Bengals safety George Iloka‘s hit on Steelers receiver Antonio Brown.

   


Tonight’s sports:

  • NHL:
    • Lightning at Bruins – 7:00PM | NBCSN / CBC (Game 3; series tied 1-1)
    • Vegas at Sharks – 10:00PM | NBCSN / Sportsnet (Game 4; Vegas leads 2-1)
  • NBA:
    • Jazz at Rockets – 8:00PM | TNT / TSN
  • MLB:
    • Yankees at Astros – 8:00PM | ESPN / TSN2

I wish I knew how the owners thought about all these allegations against them.

NOT GUILTY AT ALL!

FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU

Every fucking cretin like this needs to be beaten to death with the bones of people who were evicted during the 2008 crash and froze to death, homeless and alone, because Obama decided that Wall Street needed to be saved and the banks’s victims should eat shit and die.

Sharks winning is good, but Kane not getting me any points blows

But…. Patrick Kane plays for the Blackhawks /s

You’re right. I should have said Athletic Kane. TBF, Rapey Kane didn’t make the playoffs

Something something… Ben Roethlisberger…

Apparently, my in-laws have access to HBO-To Go. So, exscize me while I go rewatch as much of True Detective as I can. Throw Sopranos in there, too. Who needs sleep, right?

Brocky

Damn right. I’m off to see some clips of feech la manna

Wakezilla

I haven’t seen the Golden Knights crash this hard since Corey Hood in Chicago

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Why am I watching the San Jose Sharts?

Wakezilla

There really should be protocol against removing cheap owners. The Browns and Bengals could use Dez Bryant, but neither would ever fork out the money required to get him there. And if an owner is too cheap to do that, then what’s the point in even having them be an owner?

Edit: FFS, I have had no luck with posting pics the past two weeks.

Senor Weaselo

Making money?

blaxabbath

Also, Rudy looks like he just got off the Amtrak from Charlottesville. I mean, don’t LOOK the part of the buffoon who even Trump knew he couldn’t rely on and, after seeing him on Hannity, turns to Melania and is like, “I knew I was right to leave that dipshit out of my administration! But then I second guessed myself and guy soft and, damnit, now I’m probably going to jail.”

Unsurprised

He looks like a less fuckable Nosferatu

Unsurprised

Correction: He is a less fuckable Nosferatu.

blaxabbath

I can NOT believe how big a role Stormy Daniels is going to play in the history of Trump’s ‘18.

Wakezilla

I honestly don’t think it’s going to matter.

Senor Weaselo

“Ref you suck” chants? Who could’ve guessed that everyone in San Jose were Ravens fans?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hey!!!!!

Yeah, no. That’s fair.

Unsurprised

I just noticed Scott Peterson looks like one of my first roommates when I moved to Oregon. Interesting.

Anyway, I need to start watching Legion.

Rudy: “[Cohen took care of things lik covering up affairs] just like I do for my clients!”

Unsurprised

Since he was mayor.

“FAKE NEWS from Lying Rudy about me. I never liked him as mayor, never trusted him, and that’s why I never had him on my campaign!”

blaxabbath

Holy shit. These people are grasping at straws. What now? Well you knew trump was a perv like this before the election but since there was no campaign finance law violation, back off!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

So apparently Stormy manager (Gina Rodriguez) got subpoenaed and turned over documents to the FBI. Theory is that Rudy is getting out in front of this for reasons that I don’t currently understand.

blaxabbath

Is the argument going to be that Trump perpetually had these sorts of agreements exactly so he couldn’t know about them — but then Cohen will have emailed this Stormy lawyer (who turns over his emails to the FBI) saying, “I spoke to me trump tonight and he has assured me you have no video evidence so we will pay no more than $130K, rather than your requested $260K.”

Unsurprised

I love that Trump effectively waived his privilege with Cohen live on Fox News because he’s dumber than dog shit.

Unsurprised

Trump paid someone? STOP THE FUCKING PRESSES!

theeWeeBabySeamus

OK, time to go write some shit I guess.

I wouldn’t want you sickos to miss out on Vanessa and Leticia exploring their lesbian love.

Shit, I’ve said too much.

Mr. Ayo

That’s no way to describe your “work”

REBOOT!!!!!!

The question is whether Balls and I end up a gay couple living next door to Luis and Manuel.

(Hint: We don’t)

This is going to turn into an elaborate Aristocrats joke?

Have you never heard of “Playoff Varietal Theo Fleury?” 😀

Good job Jazz. Harden and CP3 are some of the worst things in the NBA.

I think this a is a legit blood, err, oil feud and the T-800 pissed off the wrong droid

theeWeeBabySeamus

Where the hell has Moose been for the past week-ish, btw?

SonOfSpam

Replenishing his GIF and JPG supplies?

Brocky

bullshit. he never ends.

King Hippo

statistically, it’s about time one of us awful fuckers went to the pokey, but I wouldn’t have bet on Moose

theeWeeBabySeamus

See? This is why in my will, I have it specified that when I die, a rock gets thrown thru each of your windshields.

You’ll damn well know it when I kick off!!!!!

theeWeeBabySeamus

FWIW, I’m not worried about Moose. A couple others, yes. But not Moose.

litre_cola

MTWV may have murdered the construction guys outside his place.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yep. Him and Entropy are a worry.

King Hippo

Entropy is probably in the starting XI for #TeamChechnya getting ready for the World Cup.

theeWeeBabySeamus

He and I talked almost daily then he dropped off the face about a year ago. No responses to emails (same with MTWV).

King Hippo

and you’re sure they’s not just locked in your slave dungeon??

theeWeeBabySeamus

Ubaldo is filling up the whole damned place already.

Stupid Sexy Dominicans.

Senor Weaselo

Him I’m worried about, especially because haven’t heard much from him in a year or so.

King Hippo

I’m gonna be mighty butthurt if he didn’t take us up on our generous, repeated alibi offers.

/speaking of which, he might be too…

Brick Meathook

MTWV fell off his computer chair one time too many.

Senor Weaselo

He’s allowed to have things to do! I think. I could be totally wrong about that.

SonOfSpam

Holy shit…Trout’s home run was an estimated 524 feet. That’s, um, a lot.

Senor Weaselo

…Are they at Coors?

SonOfSpam

Nope, at Los Angeles Baseball Stadium Of Anaheim.

Senor Weaselo

As much as I love watching Mike Trout play, that doesn’t look like it was hit 524. Even if it is apparently 347 down the line now.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Two words…

Baltimore. Pitching.

SonOfSpam

Yeah, it’s Al Bundy today.

theeWeeBabySeamus

comment image

theeWeeBabySeamus

The sad part is that Bundy is ‘Uhsposed to be the anchor.

SonOfSpam

Well, he’s definitely dragging the O’s down.

theeWeeBabySeamus

He’s got a lot of help. It takes a village to suck as badly as Baltimore does.

Senor Weaselo

Remember when it was supposed to be Gausman? Remember when it was supposed to be Uba—hey, why is there an axe conveniently lodged in my skull and why iseveeag34

King Hippo

Like AL thanks God for MS in terms of illiteracy (and shoelessness), BAL thanks God for KC in terms of ruining pitching prospects.

Hippo has hard and fast DO NOT DRAFT list in my sim league.

Spur

Get fucked Harden and CP3!

Spur

Folks.

SonOfSpam

Trout and POO-HOLES each went yard in the 1st inning. POO-HOLES is now at 2997 hits. One more hit, and I’ll find my way to the Big A tomorrow night.

King Hippo

A proud accomplishment for an hombre who has produced less WAR than I have over the last 2+ seasons!

SonOfSpam

Yeah, but he’s probably made a little more money.

King Hippo

only because it’s GOD’S WILL

Giancarlo Stanton has 2 HR and all 4 RBI against the Dirt 500s. I think this gives him armor for… one, maybe two three-strikeout games in the Bronx.

litre_cola

Anyone watching Houston v Mormon Nation?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Vegas/San Jose here.
Winner of this game will take the series.

litre_cola

Take it where? Out for dinner? Perhaps the driving range?

King Hippo

Behind back for some Ol’ Yeller action

theeWeeBabySeamus

I don’t remember who said so last night, but they are correct.
Gwen Stefani is hot as shit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OLUSELxFok

SonOfSpam

Well yeah. She’s from the OC. Maybe they’ll let you in next month, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

theeWeeBabySeamus

THIS month.

I’ll be knocking on your door sometime next week there, Pal.

SonOfSpam

Shit…it’s May already? Time’s fun when you’re having flies.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I’ll be stinking up your lovely state this time next week.

I’m a little bit excite.

King Hippo

she turns Hippo’s disgusting, fat stomach

theeWeeBabySeamus

I think you’re fibbing.

King Hippo

NOPE. Fake, plastic, vacuous, talentless hack. She is the anti-Emily Haines.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Admittedly, she has allowed herself to become a product. I’ll give you that one.
Still hot, tho.
(but how dare you bring Emily into this conversation, Sir!!!!!!!)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtTj4cramPM

SonOfSpam

I hate to go back to teenage insults, but Hippo is into dudes or something.

King Hippo

Nope. I like gals who aren’t walking billboard/Barbie dolls trying to act/sound like tweens to be “sexy.”

Again – Emily. Fookin. Haines.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTGpazVbjLE

SonOfSpam

No problem with Ms Haines, but to say Gwen is not hot is just incorrect.

theeWeeBabySeamus

How much does Pierre McGuire make? I could do this job. I mean he’s not even interesting.

That’s right up my alley.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Plus I still have my own original hair.

SUCK IT PIERRE!!!!!

litre_cola

Lucky Pierre? – Buddy

King Hippo

Fuck Boston and all who reside there.

theeWeeBabySeamus

This.

Senor Weaselo

This is why I’m rooting for—hang on a sec—
/Puts up chicken wire fence
—why I’m rooting for Real in the Champions League final, because the Gritsawx owner also owns Liverpool.

King Hippo

I won’t watch, but I will be hoping Real wins. Feels SUPER dirty.

litre_cola

The Fuck? I thought we were internet friends.

Totally understand. I feel dirty supporting the Reds, except Salah, I really enjoy watching him play.

King Hippo

The Redshite are U*NC hoopsball and Small Bears el beisbol combined for me.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Downloading Jon Benjamin’s audiobook to listen to on this flight. That should stave off the demons for at least an hour.

Everyone has a Pierre Maguire story. Here’s mine-

I slung drinks at a downtown Ottawa bar that was next to the hotel that every NHL visiting team stayed at while they massacred the pathetic Senators in the early days. I had the Sunday night shift. In walks Pierre, the general manager and the strength coach of the Whalers.

Pierre is already in a semi-drunken stupor and isn’t saying very much

GM: “Hey strength coach-you’ve strengthed for a number of successful teams/coaches, what do they all have in common?”

Strength Coach: “They all had a very strict sense of discipline, Parcells (can’t remember the other names he rattled off) they all demanded respect through their actions. [pauses for a second] And Pierre too!”

General Manager: [smiles, rolls his eyes] “And Pierre too.”

Maguire: [completely oblivious to what’s going on]

That’s Pierre Maguire in a nutshell-no matter where he is/doing-he’s in over his head.

Senor Weaselo

I really hope the word was “strengthed.”

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

Tom really should reconsider his retirement. In two years, his kids might say no to being kissed on the lips while on camera.

SonOfSpam

They like it better off camera. Less pressure to perform.

herodotus450

Can see Marchand visibly shaking from the effort not to lick Pierre during that interview.

ballsofsteelandfury

My dream scenario is that Tony Romo is in the booth for a preseason game and Nantz asks him about Dez and Tony goes:

“Jim, you’re asking me if Dez can’t win one on one matchups? That’s a crock. There were some days when the play call was simply, ‘Dez is single-covered, throw it to him. Everyone else block. On two.’ I haven’t seen anything since I’ve retired to tell me he’s not able to do that still. That’s just a gigantic crock and shame on anyone spewing that nonsense!”

Nantz (Nervously): Um, how about that Masters!

SonOfSpam

“Also, Jim, did I ever tell you about the threeway I had with Jessica Simpson and Carrie Underwood? Try to guess which one loved anal. Go on, just guess,”

“Anal…a tradition unlike any other.”

Senor Weaselo

I’m gonna guess… yes?

Unsurprised

Romhole?
