Your “Don’t Waste Your Words, They’re Just Lies” Thursday Evening Open Thread

NFL News: another very quite day. US sports seem to be avoiding getting in the NBA’s way.

  • Someone had the bright idea to talk to Peyton Manning about Andrew Luck’s injury & missed year.
    • Especially while Peyton is golfing a pro-am at The Memorial with Tiger Woods
    • Manning advised that Luck will need to get lots of reps in in order to regain some semblance of “game shape”.
      • No word on if he was advised on how to get into Jim Irsay’s private stash.
  • Kaep’s Kollusion Kase update!
    • Kaep’s lawyer, Mark Geragos, is claiming he has a corroborating witness who is able to testify about an active conspiracy to keep him out of the NFL.
      • the key will be evidence that football “people” think he (or Eric Reid) can positively contribute to a team’s success, but ownership has vetoed the move in collusion with other owners as retribution for his stance.
  • JFF is officially a backup (for now) in Hamilton.
    • Head coach June Jones says last year’s starter, Jeremiah Masoli, “absolutely” remains the starter.
    • As Maestro reminded you, the CFL plays a two-game pre-season and an 18-game schedule.
      • Given CFL injury rates, it’s more than likely he’ll end up starting a couple of games by September.

Tonight’s sports:

  • CFL Pre-Season:
    • Alouettes vs. Redblacks – 7:30PM | TSN2
  •  NBA:
    • Cavaliers at Warriors – 9:00PM | ABC / TSN
      • 4th year in a row.

  • MLB:
    • USA – only on MLBN
    • Canada:
      • Yankees at Orioles – 7:00PM | Sportsnet
      • Red Sox at Astros – 8:00PM | Sportsnet1
  • Spelling bee:
    • Finals: Closing portion – 8:30PM | ESPN

No broadcast baseball in America? No spelling bee finals in Canada? WHY DO I EVEN HAVE CABLE?

“Spellebrity”?

OK, fuck that kid and fuck this show.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I turn it on aaaaaannnnd…..fucking commercials. Thanks, ESPN.

Going back to Westworld now.

scotchnaut

The plot seems a bit overwrought. No?

Horatio Cornblower

After the last episode I can’t see how they get a third season out of this.

Spur

did you watch the Shogunworld episode? give me that as a spin off.

Horatio Cornblower

If any of these kids get asked to spell “Kashmir” there’s going to be a riot.

Did Kevin Love get brain surgery or is that a new haircut?

ballsofsteelandfury

Shamir

ballsofsteelandfury

Take that, twbs!

theeWeeBabySeamus

LMFAO. I don’t even have it on right now. I’m guessing this would be funnier if I did…gimme a sec…

Spur

which one of these kids pop’s his cherry first?
I’m going with those twin boys double teaming a prep golf team girl at 17.

herodotus450

When French people (and those dirty filthy French Canadians) see Kevin Love’s jersey I bet they say, “Love? But what’s his name?”

ballsofsteelandfury

Where’s The Maestro when you need him?

ballsofsteelandfury

Or Weaselo.

Spur

oh no the Warriors now only have 3 of the top 25 current players on their team. how will they win now?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Sad that I’m missing the ?. About to take off for another flight. Think of me when a fat kid gets all sweaty.

Horatio Cornblower

“I really like playing board games and video games”

NO FUCKING WAY!!!!

Horatio Cornblower

They’re still making the losers sit off to the side?

ballsofsteelandfury

They sit on the loser’s couch and then are whisked off to eat ice cream.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Unfortunately the loser’s couch is a casting couch cast-off.

And you don’t want to know where they get the cream.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Sounds like most of my dates.

scotchnaut

Me: “YOU CAN TAKE AWAY MY COTTAGE CHEESE AND CUCUMBER SALAD FROM ME WHEN YOU PRY IT FROM MY COLD DEAD SPOON!”

Everyone: “That drama class is really paying off!” [rolls eyes]

Horatio Cornblower

Spell “thespian”

“Thespian. L-E-S…”
(PING!)

herodotus450

Scotchnaut was Joe Flacco this whole time?

Horatio Cornblower

I’ll bet this kid can spell “spectrum”

Spur

can you use that in a sentence please.

Horatio Cornblower

“You are literally falling off the far side of the spectrum, Paul”

ballsofsteelandfury

I dislike Paul

Horatio Cornblower

Ooh, tough break; he’s with us for another round.

Spur

Should i watch an exciting contest of wills, with people superior to me with names i cant pronounce or watch the NBA?

Brocky

Dude Stanley cup isn’t on tonight

Brocky

Balls right now:

Brocky

Okay. I got a fun game, what’s the most unique animal you’ve eaten?

(cunninglingus jokes aside.)

I’ve eaten elk. That’s it.

Horatio Cornblower

Antelope in S. Africa.

Also snails.

ballsofsteelandfury

Snake, alligator, rabbit, frog. How weird do ya wanna get?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I don’t know how to match those to the nationalities in Rikki’s sex diary wordbank

Brocky

I’d say snake is the most unique of those. I’ve had gator rabbit and frog, and they have some reputation for being a delicacy.

Snake though, never heard of that one

Spur

snake

WCS

Gator, snake, and variety of insects (as an adult, not just when I was four eating ants in the yard)

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Rattlesnake, gator, ostrich, elk, moose (shhhhh), escargots, frog, I’ll try anything once.

Cue Meatloaf.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Zebra

theeWeeBabySeamus

I assume if I say “kitten” that….

Well never mind. I’ve never eaten a kitten. As far as you know.

Brocky

Depends on the type kitten I guess.

We talking common house cat or mountain lion?

Brocky

Actually I take that back. The term used for the offspring of big cats is typically “cubs”

So now I’m assuming you ate a house cat and we’re just debating how old it was at the time

ballsofsteelandfury

Cougar just doesn’t seem like tWBS’s style.

litre_cola

Camel. Was greasy and tough.

Spur

Folks

Mr. Ayo

Cavs in 6

litre_cola

Is Balls competing in the spelling bee?

Mr. Ayo

He’s technically eliminated already, but yes

ballsofsteelandfury

Three times.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Me: Why the fuck is Balls spelling everything?
Everyone else: It’s Balls. He does that kinda shit.
Me: You’re right. Of course, you’re right. My bad.

ballsofsteelandfury

Put ESPN on. I challenge thee to a spell-off!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

North Cakalaky spelling rules?

theeWeeBabySeamus

“Y’all” is a real word, right?

ballsofsteelandfury

Ceinture

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Can I formally request that we refer to JFF as Yukon Johnny while he remains in Canada?

litre_cola

Seconded.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Only if he passes out on an inflatable loon

Mr. Ayo

He needs a beaver pelt hat too

ballsofsteelandfury

NOT FAIR!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

So this is special:

http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/23645045/nfl-win-total-projections-all-32-teams-2018

If I did my math correctly, taking the over on all but 3 teams mean those 3 teams can’t win more than a combined 4 games this season.

ballsofsteelandfury

NO VOWELS!

ballsofsteelandfury

That shit ain’t Welsh

Brocky

You know, as much as I love Tex mex food, I still have yet to meet a chalupa that I really enjoyed.

I’ve had bad commerical imitations (taco bell) actual restaurant chalupa, and the most reliable of mediums: authentic Mexican cookouts (mmmm tamales))

I guess my point is does anyone know where I can find a good chalupa?

ballsofsteelandfury

Puebla.

In the states, you’re better off trying a sope. Chalupas have been bastardized too much.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Hey, I had a sope for lunch today. The Mexicans were confused why there was a gringo in their restaurant, but they got over it.

herodotus450

Chalupa eh? That’s what, a tortilla with beans, meat, or cheese?

Brocky

It’s got a unique dough I just cant seem to get over the taste of

ballsofsteelandfury

Is that a good thing?

If you really want a chalupa, go to a place that specializes in dishes from Puebla.

ballsofsteelandfury

Armadillo

Brocky

Did you mean this as a response to my question?

Cuz I’m having a lot of fun imagining you either meant Amarillo, or I should legitimately try it with armadillo meat

ballsofsteelandfury

Ha ha! No, that was my smartass spelling of a French word meaning armadillo

ballsofsteelandfury

Paillasson

herodotus450
ballsofsteelandfury

C

ballsofsteelandfury

No, A

ballsofsteelandfury

WRONG TWICE!

ballsofsteelandfury

Vanya should pursue a career in broadcasting. That segment was pretty good.

blaxabbath

Just working all late here, don’t mind me.

As others have pointed out (mostly yeahright, I think), by the way, there is no one to hire out there right now.

ballsofsteelandfury

To be fair, you’re in Arizona…

ballsofsteelandfury

THAT’S NOT FAIR!

ballsofsteelandfury

Seriously, there’s no rule against giving an Indian word to an Indian kid?

It’s like asking me to spell michelada.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

After how many micheladas?

ballsofsteelandfury

Vinhatico

ballsofsteelandfury

Balls’s on a roll!

ballsofsteelandfury

Holy shit, there’s a speller from Alabama?

scotchnaut

He spells from his gut.

ballsofsteelandfury

Pavillon

ballsofsteelandfury

YES! I’M NOT THAT DUMB!

ballsofsteelandfury

I already can’t stand Paul. He seems like he sniffs his farts. Of course, he’s from NoCal.

ballsofsteelandfury

Carmeniol?

ballsofsteelandfury

Two for two. I’m out and Simone is out. So much for my predictions…

herodotus450

Hang on, this isn’t the Spalling Bar!

ballsofsteelandfury

What happened to the hot chick on the broadcast?

ballsofsteelandfury

MY KANONA!

ballsofsteelandfury

Already wrong.

ballsofsteelandfury

Don’t worry, Enya, I would have gotten it wrong too.

ballsofsteelandfury

Oh that one girl is waaay to excited. Mom forgot to give her the ritalin pill.

ballsofsteelandfury

Her name is Simone. Watch out for her.

ballsofsteelandfury

WHO’S READY TO WATCH SOME INDIANS SPELL WORDS NO ONE KNOWS?!?

scotchnaut

“CAN’T BELIEVE YOU’RE DISCOUNTING US.”

-A few “Slant Eyes”

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Couldn’t Peyton’s wife help with the HGH to get Luck into game shape? Or did he not want to talk about that?

WCS

Wacky ending to Wheel tonight.

herodotus450

My fan fiction finally came true!?

scotchnaut

Peyton and Tiger hanging out together in 2018 brings to mind a certain scene…
