NFL News:

  • ARE YOU READY FOR A….grievance hearing?
    • The NFLPA has filed an official grievance against the NFL over the new anthem policy.
      • They will start with arbitration before proceeding to a court case (if necessary).

  • Sure to help things is Michael Bidwill going on the radio to pump up his old prep school buddy, new Supreme Court nominee Brent Kavanaugh.
    • Bidwill, seen right attempting to count to 10 whilst holding in a fart, appears to be trying to curry league favour with America’s current demagogue president.

  • In a story that sounds like a Friends/Big Bang Theory mashup episode, Giants tackle AJ Francis suffered the indignity of the TSA spilling his mom’s ashes inside the suitcase he was bringing her home in.
    • This is not a good look:

    • When the TSA offered an apology online, Francis assured himself future airport scrutiny with the response:

Finally, it’s been a strange day following the Shady McCoy allegations.

As of this moment they are just allegations, so Roger Goodell is left to just write the number “6” on a notepad in his office. But that didn’t stop the assholes from chiming in:

Calgary Stampede is pretty awesome. They deep fry everything and the women wear skimpy cowgirl clothes. I also just got a free Our Lady Peace concert. Raine Mayden sounded like shit, but who cares because it’s free.

Deep fried hamburger is life.

I was also told the when in England, a “fag” is something related to a cigarette.

So if I want a smoke, I should approach someone in a pub and say “Hey, fag…got a cigarette?”

Anyone got any last minute tourist tips for a first-time Euro traveler? London, Paris, Alps, etc.

(sigh) With wife and kid.

1
Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I love London. How old is the kid? I would think there is plenty of kid/parent stuff too. I am a museum, architecture, history dipshit, so the wife and kid would be bored with too much of that. London is great because it is very easy to get around in……. unless you rent a car.

0
SonOfSpam

Long story short, we’re going with a group (student orchestra); kid is almost 18, a lot of the trip is structured, but we’ll have free time here and there. I am into the same stuff you mentioned, but I think we’ll be covered on a lot of that.

Here’s the potential highlight: We’ll be there on Sunday. For the World Cup final. Which England might be in.

0
Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I guess I’d do some research with the 18 yo; I would have no idea. People in a pub watching the WC…. if they look like they are going to throw up, they probably are. I did’t get any on me, but it made me retch a little.

I go have lunch here whenever I can stay long enough:

If you want to avoid much walking, take the Hop On Hop Off buses. If you don’t mind walking, take the Metro/Tube.

Have a coffee at a sidewalk cafe for two hours like a true Frenchman on lunch break.

That sounds awesome. I totally wanna sit in a sidewalk cafe and watch…whatever. I’m also planning no deodorant, since that’s the thing, right?

Don’t avoid walking if possible; it is a great city to walk around.

London and Paris are awesome.
IMO the best museum in Paris is the Musee D’Orsay. If you are going to the Louvre make a day of it and take breaks outside of it to have lunch, drinks and to recharge your brain. The area around Sacre Coeur is a lot of fun. It is the artist ghetto (not ghetto) and you can buy fantastic art there and drink wine. Champs d’Eylsee is a rip off but going up the Arc de Triomphe is better than going up the Eiffel tower. The 5th arrondissement is where you will find a bunch of restaurants that have prix fixe 3 course menus, it is touristy but cheap. Most brasseries throughout the city do this and it make things affordable for a good meal.
Do not go to the Moulin Rouge. I heeded warnings and did not go but everyone says that the scene in European vacation is pretty close.
House wine is fine and cheaper than water the locals all drink it and so should you.
If you know where you are staying in Paris I could probably help more.

2

Thank you for the input! Really looking forward to Paris. I think we’re Louvre’ing it, but I don’t know much beyond that. I will remember the Arc advice.

You know, I’ve been saying all this time that Democrats need to destroy the Republicans in the midterms, but with all of them going Ultra Left, part of me thinks the Dems should be murderdeathkilled in the Midterms. So they can finally realize that “Keep going Left” isn’t the answer and that the entire country isn’t as Liberal as they think they are.

Trust me, I got a bad feeling about November. They are playing right into the GOP’s hands and Trump’s baby hands.

-1
Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Don’t start with that silly concern trolling. The pull left is coming from the activated youth – it’s not going to stop the Dem regulars from getting out there and voting. Anybody who hasn’t yet decided an overcorrection to the left is better than the existing shitshow is unlkely to support the Dems anyway.

2
Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

If everything was more or less fine, I’d be inclined to agree with you. But everything is NOT fine, and most people get that.

Its not trolling. I want the Dems to win. As long as the Republicans are blowing Trump, I have no Political Party that represents me.

I’m not a Democrat, my views are different from theirs. To not start a Flame War, let just say their different.
I’m not a Libertarian. I’m close, but I find them too extreme.
I’m not a Republican. I believe in less government and more freedom to the people. I don’t believe in fear, hatred and Autocracy. Last I checked, we elected a President and not a Regent.

1
Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Sorry, please accept my apology. One of my other haunts has been invaded by concern trolls and my skin has worn thin. I’m personally feeling more motivated than I have been in years (possibly my whole life) – finally seeing some spine from Democrats (even though they are effectively powerless right now) is very invigorating to me.

We’re good. Just remember, I’m a Moderate Republican. I believe in Republican causes, but I still have empathy for the opponent and I genuinely want to do the right thing. I also believe that just because someone is a Democrat, that doesn’t make him a godless monster and sometimes you have to give something to get something.

I’m not like the douchebags in power who are a mustache and lightning-in-the background from being a Saturday Morning cartoon villain.

I’m a dying breed. If I was a wild animal, I would be traq’d and put into a zoo with a female Moderate Republican in a desperate effort to save the species from extinction.

Part of me wants to deep dive, but the other part of me says it’s not worth it. Outside of LGBTQ rights, political rhetoric in this country has been dragged to the right for the last 25 years. If Reagan came to the big show today, he’d be shouted down as a fucking RINO.

Yup. When Bush 41 lost and Newt took over with his Contract, that was the slippery slope.

1
Gratliff

Clinton was our president while I was 9-17. I was always a bleeding heart, even as a small child, and it didn’t fade as I got older. W was such a fucking trainwreck that I constantly wished we had the president of my formative years. As I grew older, and the rose-colored glasses fell off, I soured tremendously on Clinton. As I got older still, and got to watch the Obama administration endlessly shit the bed between tiny little sparks of what passes for progress in this day and age after completely buying into him, it occurred to me that basically every president has been hot garbage in some way or another. At some point, it becomes impossible to not see the structure of the American government as outdated, flawed, and corrupted to its core. To avoid going wildly off the rails, I’ll just say that I side with the crazies that error on the side of fucking things up for the right reasons, even if they’re not great at things like organization and math.

Bush 41: Won because Reagan was popular. Wasn’t as charismatic. He was an generic old guy.
Clinton: Won because no other Dem ran, Perot split GOP vote and economy cratered. However he would only do things if there were popular. If polls was against it, he wouldn’t do it.
Bush 43: Won because Gore was a robot and the Supreme Court. Nice guy but surrounded himself with his daddy’s friends.
Obama: Won because Candidate Obama was inspiring and great. However he ended up a typical Chicago Liberal and he trusted Congress too much.
Trump: Won because GOPer hate Hillary and Hillary thought she had it in the bag so she forgot that the Rust Belts exists. Please get off your ass Mueller!

The establishment “left” are essentially moderate republicans. “Progressives” are all over the place. All democrats got us where we are by not voting in the midterms and in 2016 and letting the older establishment dems stay in power, no freshness, or renewal. Republicans for the most part are so far right that any pragmatic or practical solution to our real problem is Fox News’d out of the way. I don’t think we will recover from this one.

What’s up bitches? Just spent about two hours helping a customer out in South Dakota with a busted drive.

I’m not in customer support so I don’t get paid for this shit. The customer kept me on the phone, even though they were on the phone with the customer support guy. So it ends up costing me about two hours explaining out drawings I cannot see, for hardware in a different time zone…we finally figure out there is a bad contact. I explain how to pull out an unused one and swap it in.

The customer is ecstatic. JSD earns his beer.

I sit down with a beer only to realize I got a nasty email from the customer support guy, cussing me out for wasting his time because the customer stopped listening to him (jackass was trying to get terms and conditions through a bunch of low level techs instead of solving the fucking problem).

My response was to forward his email to his boss and my boss with the reply…

“Is this fool serious?”

I suspect I am getting a visit from HR…
