Your “Shut Up – It’s Live Football!” Thursday Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

  • Not quite on bent knee, but the Chargers have reached out to Antonio Gates about a possible return.
    • The ACL tear to Hunter Henry is forcing the Chargers to reconsider the decision to cut Gates.
      • If Mark Davis were half the man his father was, he’d sign Gates just to fuck with the Spanos clan.
  • Jarvis Landry is…glad? to be in Cleveland, because he didn’t have a good rapport with Ryan Tannehill.
    • He took a veiled shot at Tanny when Landry made headlines last week by telling Cleveland.com that his quarterback situation with the Browns (Tyrod Taylor, Baker Mayfield and Drew Stanton) is “a lot better than what I had in Miami.”
  • Kirk Cousins keeps throwing picks in practice.
    • He says he is learning through trial and error what he can’t do.
      • “Some of the beauty of (spring drills) is that you can test and experiment. . . . You’ve just got to learn from them.”
        • Just what you want to hear from a $90 million guaranteed QB in his first season.
        • I know one member of the Vikings staff who won’t cotton to such glibness.
You wouldn’t like him when he’s angry.

Finally, because Crimebeat! never sleeps, Bengals rookie QB Logan Woodside was stopped across the river in Bellevue, KY for a DUI on June 9th.

  • Not a good move when you were the 349th pick in the draft.
  • He blew a .112, which is a bad look at 3:45AM.
    • Or, a good time at 3:45 PM if you’re Rob Ryan.
  • Woodside was also given a ticket for driving more than 10 mph over the speed limit.

Well, the CFL season starts tonight, and the Deuce has you covered.

After creating a self-indulged documentary about himself, Antoine Griezmann declared at the end of the documentary that he would be staying with Atletico Madrid. What a dorkus malorkus

Senor Weaselo

He didn’t take his talents to South Beach?

Wakezilla

Surprisingly, no. It’s like the decision, but where Lebron stayed.

Wakezilla

Lets hope he follows in the footsteps of his former teammate, Aaron Hernandez

The worst thing about this timeline is that there are millions of people paying attention to politics for the first time out of fear of Trump and they’re being exposed to nothing but militarism, imperialism, revisionism and chauvinism by Democratic media outlets.

There’s people actually pissed that there might be peace in Korea, for Christ sakes!

Democratic media outlets?

True Story Time!!!
(The whole hotel room locks thing is what reminded me of this, btw)

When I was in California recently, one night in the middle of the night, a night I was having some insomnia (which is not unusual for me) I decided to go for a walk on the beach. So I downed a few shots and took some weed with me to consume while walking (totally legal there…yay!!!). When I returned to my room an hour or so later (3 or 4am, give or take), I was extremely high and at least a little bit drunk. This is important to the story, btw.

So, I approach my room, insert my keycard, open the door and walk inside.

I’ve been gone about an hour, but somehow, while I was gone, a whole family of people have moved into my room. There’s an ugly fat chick in my bed. There’s an ugly fat guy asleep in the couch. And there’s three ugly fat kids on rollaway beds in the middle of the living room area.

“What the fuck????” I think to myself. I might have even said it out loud. I can’t remember, I was high.

So I stand there for what seemed like an eternity trying to figure this out, but in reality was probably only a few seconds, and then it dawns on me.

I didn’t go up enough flights of stairs. I’m one floor below where my room is. This isn’t my room. It’s in the same place as mine, just on a different floor. It looks the exact same as mine. Well, aside from the ugly fat family inside. But this isn’t my room. I’ve just basically, but unwittingly, performed a home invasion.

Fortunately, none of the ugly fat people woke up and I backed out slowly and closed the door. Then quickly did recon on the hallway to make sure there were no cameras. There weren’t.

The next day, I asked the dudes who work there if they knew that the keycards on their system open rooms other than the ones they’re keyed for. I never did get an answer, btw, but it was pretty obvious that they knew. So I think I’ll be staying elsewhere next time. Which is a shame because otherwise I really like that place.

According to the experts, Trump has solidified his hold on the Republican Party. If you don’t support Trump, you’re not a Republican.

So I’m no longer a Republican. I may even vote Democrat if they’re not too far left.

herodotus450

You’re jumping ship now? I guess it was getting crowded in the trump camp with the Russians, Nazis, Iranians, Saudis, Norwegians, and now the N. Koreans.

I was holding out hope for sanity and common sense to show up. Obviously, fear and idolatry have left sanity and common sense bloody and beaten.

Hold the phone. I’m still Conservative. I’m just tired of Republicans blowing Trump.

What’s the point of jumping ship? It’s the same party it has always been for at least the past 18 years.
