Your “What Is Truth?” Monday Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

  • LOL Browns!
    • nfl.com reports LB Mychal Kendricks has signed a one-year contract with the Browns.
    • PFT reports Mychal Kendricks has not signed a one-year contract with the Browns.
    • And Kendricks himself has this to say:

  • Zach Miller, he of the “OH GOD…NO!! **barfs**” knee injury, has been re-signed by the Bears to a one-year deal.
    • He endured nine surgeries before January.
    • He will gets $450K while on injured reserve, and will get up to $790K if he gets into game action during the season.
  • The ESPN headline says it all: Niners WR Victor Bolden Jr. suspended four games for PED violation.
    • He admitted he unknowingly took a prohibited supplement & will learn from the mistake he didn’t know he made until he was caught, the NFL’s version of “I did not have sexual relations with that woman.”
  • Franco Harris, who earned less in his whole career than Le’Veon Bell wants for just one season, had an opinion on Bell’s contract situation while attending the unveiling of the Steelers new throwback jersey.
    • “With this state of his career and he has some big decisions to make — nothing I can say about it, I can’t say one thing or the other — but I guess I always feel this can work out. I think it’s in the best interest of both parties to make it work.”
    • FYI – this year’s throwback is based on the 78-79 Steelers, and will be worn October 28 when they face the Browns.

Finally, it’s announced Jim Kelly will receive the Jimmy V award at this year’s ESPYs.

  • Kelly is the second former Bills player to receive the award. Kevin Everett received it in 2008 after learning to walk again in the wake of a spinal injury suffered during the 2007 season.

I finally finished season 2 of Jessica Jones. It was about 5 episodes too long. Honestly, tv shows that are only 13 episodes long need to stop doing bottle neck episodes. JJ had like 3 of those, which is ridiculous. Just fucking go balls to the wall, you know?

Gratliff

It’s funny because I gave up at about episode 8. So, I’m gonna have to agree.

Gratliff

Oo. History of the World Part I on IFC. Been a while.

Yup. Ovie’s got his Cup for sure. Right, Shamu?

theeWeeBabySeamus

I’m feeling better than if tonight had gone the other way.
But I’ve seen the Caps blow things I never thought they could before.
Nothing is over yet.

Gratliff

The LOLCaps will be devastating. Like nothing you’ve ever felt before.

Senor Weaselo

Note to self: Seamus or someone else will nickname my future gf “Caps,” I have been warned in advance.

Sharkbait

I can see Vegas stealing game 5, but I think the Caps have figured out Vegas. Watching Gallant not make adjustments is reminding me of Vignault not adjusting at all vs. Los Angeles in 2014.

Pardon me while I go throw up for reminding myself of that series.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I still think it’s pretty awesome that the Knight’s coach is named Gallant.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Suck it, you whiny pussies.
I’m talking to you Miller.

theeWeeBabySeamus

You too Reaves.
(tho to be honest I’m surprised they didn’t just let the black guys go ahead and fight)

We’re so close to 2 months of only baseball that I want to cry.

To be fair, he is just an awful human being

Did they actually just call a trip on Vegas?
Holy shit.

Screw it. Breaking out the vodka anyway. If they give up three, I’ll need to be drunk for it.

I watched Blade Runner 2049 and enjoyed it quite a bit. The internet does not feel the same.

Side note:

Ana de Armas is fucking perfect.

comment image

Gratliff

I had the same feeling while watching it. If it was like 20 minutes shorter, it would be everyone’s favorite movie.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I appreciated the cinematography, sound, and initial acting most. I could go with tightening up the last 1/4 of the movie’s script; less Decker. But I still enjoyed that part. I like scifi a lot so I’m a bit forgiving sometimes, also I don’t like a lot of movies that are popular.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Haven’t seen the flick.
But she’s kinda purtty, I guess.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

MAYBE.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The internet is wrong about a lot of things. For example, many people insist that the science in Interstellar is dead-on. I will address this in DFO Radio tomorrow.

Brick Meathook

I’ve never seen Intersteller but I’ve always assumed the science was dead-on. I look forward to your post refuting this science, if in fact it was not dead-on as I have previously thought. Please include a plot summary. Thank you, and God bless.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Most movies get the science right on no matter what.

Senor Weaselo

The science was all “I guess this could happen theoretically?” and then the last third of the movie they ran out of science and just made shit up.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

http://www.businessinsider.com/neil-degrasse-interstellar-review-2014-11

They did a lot better than most movies. Some thing were simply plot driven, true, but compared to some things in the “realistic” Gravity I thought they at least got some thing right. Also it is science FICTION. I thought the worst things were the “only this guy pilot” routine and some other cowboy writing were the things that bugged me the most.

http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/space_20/2014/11/interstellar_science_review_the_movie_s_black_holes_wormholes_relativity.html

This guy does a good job ripping the movie a new wormhole.

Kind of where I was going was the build up to the flight bugged the shit out of me more than some of the things during the flight, that and no tits. I did not enjoy it that much.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

They NEVER get tits in a weightless environment right anyway.

Wife and I read Philly mayor’s statement. We both thought it was excellent. We had no idea whether man or woman, black, hispanic, white or any other race. Very well written. So now someone tell me he is in bed with the mafia or has a goat killing circle.

Probably.

It’s been done before.

I haven’t posted yet tonight, because Caps went up before I got here and I didn’t want to jinx them.
At this point, if they blow it, it’s not my fault.

The best part about Trump being president is that his mere existing is like him laying eggs in all of our brains that are going to hatch over the next four years driving us progressively more insane. It rules.

You know Trump will pardon Manafort. He officially doesn’t care anymore.

Probably safer to just pay someone to kill Manafort, and then pardon that person.

No one tell Trump that. He may do that.

At work today, I saw I had a notice on Linkedin. I was hopeful since you know…my employer is going under.

It was a notice from the local Lowes that I would be perfect for their electrical department.

About five minutes later, my coworker asked me why I was sobbing at my desk…

You could say that was JSD’s Lowe point of the day.

As much as I hate to admit it…I like the Steelers retro numbers. It works because it looks generic, which fits the Steelers in a good way. They’re not there to look good; they just there to play and win.

Aw, man. I always liked him. And that after him catching that throwaway pass by Montana thus costing the Bengals a beatable opponent in SB XVI.

Hrm. Donald Trump disinvited the Eagles. Is this the first time that’s happened? It feels like a first I hope this leads to Malcom Jenkins delivering a profound rebuttal while Chris Long does the in-person equivalent of shitposting in the background.

herodotus450

pretty sure trump already did it to someone else, Golden State last year?

Yup. He’s such a miserable orange cunt.

They should send him a jersey anyway, just not sure what name to put on the back:

The thing with RTD is that it is entirely possible he met Miranda Kerr somewhere and she did invite him to something.
