Your “Everybody’s Got A Beef” Wednesday Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

• Luke Kuechly, the fragile JJ Watt of the Carolina Panthers, says he’s “ready to go” for training camp.
  • He’s never not been ready for camp, but by holding him out of contact drills until camp, they’re hoping to extend his season past Week 8.

• Former Colts GM Ryan Grigson has landed a job in Seattle, after being released by the Cleveland Browns.
  • He should fit in well in Seattle, for they too have an all-pro QB and an offensive line made of cheese.
    • HODOR was a lot easier to catch.

• DeMarcus Ware is now a Broncos defensive consultant.
  • He retired after twelve years – nine with the Cowboys & three with Denver.

  • The Cowboys are the latest team to be sued by a former cheerleader.
    • At least it’s not for pimping them out like the [Redacteds] did.
    • She is claiming the team violated The Equal Pay Act and Fair Labor Standards Act by not paying minimum wage and overtime.

  • The Rams owe Reggie Bush $12.5 million after his wipeout on their old turf in St. Louis.
