Hi all. After a welcome three-day holiday weekend away from the #content mines, I’m ready to return you to the cromulence of my banality. I golfed & drank on Saturday & saw Deadpool 2 & drank on Monday; in betwixt, I soberly crammed in family time with the extendeds. Thanks to everyone who both covered my arse & made me look bad while doing so.
NFL News:
- Well, the Eagles are scheduled to visit the White House on June 5th.
- That falls during team OTAs between June 4-7, so seems designed to induce maximum attendance as an organized team activity.
- The debate is on about how many players will attend.
- The NFL spring meetings start today:
- Jerry Richardson will be saying
he was framedgoodbye. - Gambling & new rules are official topics; the anthem is a background issue sure to be brought up.
- Jerry Richardson will be saying
- Per nfl.com, the NFL and the Players Coalition finalized a partnership Monday that dedicates close to $90 million for efforts and programs combating social inequality.
- Expect the owners to want something back for their expression of generosity & solidarity.
- From the “aww fuck, he’s coming back, isn’t he?” file, Richie Incognito has been removed from the “reserve/retired” list by the Bills.
- He wants to try playing somewhere else, so he asked them to change his status.
- He remains under investigation for an alleged racial slur during the Bills-Jags playoff game.
Finally, Laura Wagner at Deadspin took a run at PFT Commenter today. The story itself is quite a fair read, if also familiar ground. She raises the issue of how can he remain anonymous while profiting off that same privilege, and why do outlets afford him the ability to be hands-off from an otherwise seedy organization like Barstool. Naturally, most critical comments never made it out of the grays – even ones that may have deserved to.

at the behest of fine, upstanding members of the internet.
So, just another day in the online paradise, which is why the tag is so appropriate. Feel free to go look for yourself, but I’m not responsible for the bleach your eyes will need.

I appreciate the answers.
I am also glad I don’t have to report any of you to CPS for saying you were all for you kid going into the NFL.
If I ever get stuck with stepchildren, they’re all going into MMA.

You have the ability to pick any sport that your kid will become a professional athlete. Which one would it be?
Your kid isn’t going to be like a once in a life time superstar, but he/she will have a decent career.
Australian Rules Football. He/She’ll marry a hot Australian and leave this going- down- the- toilet country.
Golf. Make the cut, that’s at least $35k per event on the PGA Tour.
This was my first thought as well…a close second would be el futbol.
Golf.

womens volleyball.
serious Answer: Golf
joke answer: pro wrestling
is it Football season yet? i’ve been reduced to rooting for the French Team for the World Cup. Dark times indeed.
Ain’t nothing wrong with that.

I’m still maybe, 10% sure that PFT is just an alias of Magary so it’s not really doxing since he’s at Deadspin anyway.
/Or maybe beneath the mask it’s… Falco?
My money’s on flubby. He was always the quiet one.
Gotta be Falco

I always thought it was Ape. In a fair and just world, Ape would be the one with the fuck money gig for the soulless company, ‘no comment’-ing their bullshit.
Realizing that this isn’t very far from what KSK was at the end. Hrm.
I thought KSK paid less than some other freelance stuff he did.

Do you have one in blue? – ballsofsteelandfury
am a little pissed KSK (whats dead may never die) wasn’t mentioned in that PFT Commenter Deadspin article. Also fuck Barstool.
There is a 1000% chance they meticulously avoided mentioning the site that would immediately link PFT Commenter’s existence back to Deadspin
This self-imposed cottage cheese-forward diet sucks all the balls.
throw some avocado, cucumbers or tomatoes in.
Pineapple is another good option.
I’m torn on the Deadspin article because on one hand, PFT Commenter the weird podcast creep is impossible to separate from PFT Commenter of KSK lore, but on the other, fuck Barstool. I’ll never not be okay with going in on Barstool being awful.

Okay, I’m off to the fabric store.

I talked to my lawyer. I wanked earlier. You can’t legally address me as a ‘wanker’ at this point. Your move, ‘fucker of 27 year-old”!
Well, not since early this morning soooo…..technically….

As an 8-year-old goalie my year-end GAA was .75. My save percentage? That shit didn’t exist then. Why would you even bring it up?
I’m guessing about .750? Because kids and putting anything accurately in the place.

Remember that time when a white guy in an Ottawa intramural basketball league scored 39 points in a playoff game? That was me.
I remember that! Everyone in L.A. was talking about it! Too bad you didn’t have your name on the back of your jersey or you could have really cashed in.
See that shot of Tom Cruise screaming “show me the money?”
I created that shot. That’s mine. I was the digital compositor who put the final shot together exactly as you see it here, although without the words. Someone defaced my shot.
The plate was shot on a set at Sony in Culver City (by Michael Ballhaus ASC) with green-screens outside the office windows. The exterior I used was a still photograph of Newport Beach combined with a computer generated Pacific Ocean that was leftover from Waterworld. Digital compositing for feature films was still new and a big deal in 1996, and this was all done in a state-of-the-art facility in Hollywood owned by Eastman Kodak, who invented all the digital imaging technology that eventually sank them.
First Thing: That’s amazing!
Second Thing: I always thought the line was “Show Me The Monkey!”
It was really amazing in 1996; today, not so much. You could do that shot on your phone now.
Phones can take pictures now? Tell me more.

I’ve led an interesting life. I don’t have a dime to show for it, but I’ve got some stories, man. In fact, I think the reason I’ve been allowed to do so many things is that I always forget to ask for money.
I thought you were a pilot. I enjoy the mystery.
HE CAN BE BOTH!
No, I just live near LAX and like to go there in my homemade pilot uniform and fly the airplanes. I do it all the time, although I’m usually drunk. As I’ve mentioned before, not only is it really easy to do but I’ve also never been caught. They don’t even seem to notice the plane is missing, which I’ve never understood but there you are.
Hey, I have a question. Was Synderela her real name or was it just made up?
I never found out. She was from China so I think she chose the name. She’s a big-time art director now.
Not sure how she was to work with, but she was nice when I talked to her. Was always curious about the name, though.
I don’t think I ever exchanged a word with her in six months. I would quietly admire her boob job though.
cool!

Its hilarious that anyone from Gawker Media (I know they changed the name but its the same fucking shit) grandstanding about journalism ethnics and integrity.
Their entire shtick is to act like super serious journalists…until they do something really fucking offensive and/or out of line and then they claim they are just a series of blogs.
Is Hamilton Nolan still trying to motivate the working class into a violent revolution from his $1.2 million dollar apartment his parents pay for?
Right??
I think my favorite was Jezebel employing a Hugo Schwyzer as a writer and an example of what men should be like.
Also wasn’t one of the deadspin writers on the #MeToo list of journalists?
I don’t understand the point of outing PFT Commenter. The whole point of having a nomme de plume is so that words can be gauged in their merit, not on an assumption of what the writer’s bias is based solely on name.

Some people suck. In this case, these are those people. Along with the asshole who doxxed dril.
Seriously, though. Motherfuck everyone at the NFL for even entertaining this idea for a second.
If I wasn’t entirely done with it before, I absolutely hope for the worst for the NFL and everyone involved now and forever. I hope for the worst and that it creates eternal agony for all parties in this life and any future ones.
At lunch time, I was chatting with the guy who runs the office fantasy league each year. He is a Chiefs fan. I asked him if he watch the draft…and he said no (he recently had his first kid). We kept talking and I think we both realized that the NFL has just burned us out.
Between the CTE, the outright graft that is NFL ownership, and the inability of the NFL to make reasonable rules involving a catch…I think we are both done.
I kinda hope they go through with it, because if they do I will absolutely boycott the season, which would guarantee that my Raiders would go 14-2 and win the Super Bowl in a laugher.
With backup/n+1’th string quarterback Christian Hackenberg at the helm, gotten for a conditional 7th?
Nah, it would be with Carr, cause the universe knows I really like him a lot.
