Your “Trying A New Schedule” Monday Evening Open Thread

Because my regular work schedule gets all screwed up in September, I’m trying to see if I can adjust my mornings to be able to continue putting the threads together. So, apologies for the next three days, but I’m trying to see if I can produce something of measurable quality in under an hour. I’m hoping I can make the turn before I go away on Thursday.

NFL News:

• Antonio Brown has invited Dez Bryant to “come play with me” on the Steelers.
  • One wonders how much cap space they’ll have to make this happen if they don’t lock down Le’Veon Bell soon.
  • Bryant is also meeting with

the Browns later this week.

• nfl.com is a’flutter because Andrew Luck completed a throwing session without snapping in half.
  • They’re not a’fluffer because it isn’t a story about Roger Goodell, whom most discerning citizens consider a national disgrace.
  • He’ll try throwing in full pads later this week.

• Almost a year late, they finally opened the roof at the Falcons’ stadium on command.
  • The Falcons sold more than 60,000 tickets at $5 each for the open practice, which included the roof demonstration.

• Ryan Shazier showed up to Steelers practice walking with a cane.
