Your “Quick & Dirty Because I’m Slow & Dirty” Wednesday Evening Open Thread

Sorry – the pre-school year meetings took more time than I thought, so if this is published on time please forgive the errors.

NFL News:

  • Aaron Rodgers got paid!
    • It’s a four-year, $134 million extension, and contains a record $57.5 million signing bonus and will earn more than $80 million by March 2019.
      • So, I guess he really doesn’t need his parents.
  • Oh, and while he was at it, GM Rodgers Brian Gutekunst traded Brett Hundley to the Shithawks Seahawks.
    • They got a 2019 6th-round pick in 2019 for Hundley.
    • This means Aaron is backed up by DeShone Kizer.
  • The Jets have done the ridiculous and traded Teddy Bridgewater to the Saints.
    • He was sent down the bayou along with a sixth-round pick, in exchange for a third-round pick in 2019.
    • The Jets are daring to go with the feared Sam Darnold / Josh McCown connection.
  • Not your usual Crimebeat! story: Former Eagle (where it happened) & current Brown (where he was charged) Mychal Kendricks was charged with insider trading.
    • He admits it, which will surely gain him additional punishment from Roger Goodell, since the one thing Browns ownership cannot tolerate is insider trading.

  • The Seahawks extended Tyler Lockett with a three-year, $38 million extension.
    • Earl Thomas, meanwhile, sits patiently by the phone.

Tonight’s sports:

  • U.S. Open Tennis:
    • Second Round – 7:00PM | ESPN / TSN
  • MLB:
    • Blue Jays at Orioles – 7:00PM | Sportsnet / MLBN
    • Diamondbacks at Giants – 10:00PM | Sportsnet1 / MLBN
  • MLS:
    • Portland vs. Toronto FC – 10:30PM | TSN3

Scotchy’s got you tomorrow for the final night of NFL preseason, and I assume Seamus has got his usual Friday Night Jamboree all planned out, so I’ll see you folks on the weekend. Woo-hoo: three-day weekend! UGH – BACK TO SCHOOL TUESDAY!

That’s why I block FOXNEWS. At least MSNBC gets me a laugh in a “holy crap, they really believe this?!” kind of way. FOXNEWS makes me sad in a “holy crap, they really believe this?!!” kind of way.

So I read that Mychal Kendricks is looking at 8-12 months in prison. And people say nobody ever gets punished for white-collar crime.

[pulls up image of Mychal Kendricks]

Oh, right.

Browns already cut him because Haslem can’t stand anybody better than him at anything on his team.

Saw this on Twitter today. A comparison of John McCain and Jar Jar Binks:

“Jar Jar fought in the battle for Naboo, John fought in Vietnam.

Jar Jar became a senator, John became a senator.
Jar Jar helped grant Palpatine with emergency powers to go to war with the separatists, McCain rallied Bush to go to war with Iraq.

Now in the EU, Jar Jar became something of a hobo street performer in Theed, kind of like a Jack Sparrow or Silverman at an outdoor mall. Jar Jar entertained children, but was well despised by adults for his part in the war. While John McCain entertained liberals with small acts of “defiance” but died with neither side liking him and being dunked on Twitter for his remaining days.”

I’ll also add: Jar Jar Binks is a racist caricature, John McCain was racist.

rockingdog

this is so great!

herodotus450

McCain was also the funniest Senator we’ve ever had.

Fronkenshteen

Wrong. Al Franken was in “Trading Places”.

I…I don’t know who to defend here; Jar Jar or McCain.

Senor Weaselo

Well, there’s the theory that Jar Jar was actually a Sith Lord and the mastermind of the whole situation and that got cut because people would have rioted (more), if that makes you go one way or another.

Redshirt

Either that or a Fallen Anakin Skywalker holding the severed head of Jar Jar and the entire prequel trilogy gets instantly redeemed.

I have fixed the hall toilet. The handle no longer needs held down in order to flush. Any other miracles needs performed while I have been touched by godly powers?

herodotus450

Oh look at Mr. Carnegie over here with a “hall” toilet. What’re you too good for a bowl like the rest of us?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I think he means the toilet the help have to use.

herodotus450

Or maybe it’s the toilet that only Deangelo Hall is allowed to use. We all have those.

It won’t be covered on the deep in route.

More of the tackle & PC watching film and thinking “You know if we cut him it will slow him down.”

But yeah; it takes a lot.

From the SBNation Raiders blog:

BetDSI Sportsbook recently put out their odds and they have Amari Cooper with an over 975 yards (-125) and under 975 yards (-105). What this means is that if you bet $100 Cooper hits the 975-yard mark and he does, you would make $25 back on your original $100 investment. On the flip side, if you wager $100 Cooper misses the mark, you would only make $5 back.

I think we should invite the author of this to a poker game and every time he wins a hand tell him that actually he lost because the other guy has a royal sampler.

You misspelled “responsibility”

Brick Meathook

This time, I think, the shit is going to get real. There’s a weird subculture in the Catholic clergy that everyone has known about since the 1970s at least, and even with all the prior abuse scandals that subject was still avoided and side-stepped, and offenders were talked about as aberrations when they most certainly were not. You watch what is about to happen.
