Man, going back to work sucks.
NFL News:
- Le’Veon Bell is still a ghost at the Steelers facility, and he hasn’t yet signed his franchise tag contract.
- Soothsayer Maurkice Pouncey has divined Bell will show up Wednesday.
- Either way, Bell has until November 13th to sign & show up.
- Every game he misses, however, costs him $865,000.
- Trying to prove that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, the Bills have brought in Paxton Lynch.
- Mostly because they announced their starter as Nathan Peterman.
- Jerry Jones would like you to know he has tremendous respect for Nike.
- And in no way does their sponsorship of Colin Kaepernick have any bearing on his collusion lawsuit, no sirree bob.
- But it might, sorta come up during arguments about financial hardship, y’know.
- And in no way does their sponsorship of Colin Kaepernick have any bearing on his collusion lawsuit, no sirree bob.
- John Harbaugh went full “blame the victim” when he talked about kicker Kaare Vedvik & the injuries he suffered Saturday night in a bar fight.
- “It was disappointing for him because I think it cost him a chance to kick in this league,” Ray Lewis’ former head coach said Monday. “He would’ve had a shot. There were plenty of trade talks.”
- He followed that up with more sage advice that could have been used in Atlanta at the 2000 Super Bowl:
- “My dad said, ‘Nothing good ever happens after midnight.’ And it was well after midnight,” Harbaugh said. “So, we’ll be talking to the young guys next year. Be a little smarter. Be more aware of your surroundings. Don’t be by yourself. Understand that there are people out there that have maligned intentions, especially when you’re a young guy and maybe even if you’re a Raven football player.”

Ok, let’s go down this rabbithole

Just fired off a scathing email to my landlord. Ask me anything.
In the word “scent”…is it the “s” or the “c” that’s silent?
Yes
If I try to fail, but succeed anyway….which one did I do?

Ooops, I should have scrolled back earlier to what I’d missed.
Sorry Moosey.
That and other are worth the rehash.
Today in the mail I got brochure explaining why now is a good time to make preparations for my own cremation.
I also received a check from the United States Treasury for $1.62

Look Brick, your remains just don’t justify the real estate for a proper burial.
Plus, you’ll make a great light show with all the residual chemicals.
I still laugh my ass off every time I see that scene.
Me too.
And we should definitely put Brick Meathook in a coffee can after they roast him.
Steakburger & Fries
The Apple Pan, West Los Angeles
about an hour ago
I was told that’s the best burger in LA. Is that true?
And why didn’t you invite me? I could have stopped on my way back from LAX.
I drove past it and just went in! If I had known I would have invited you. It is really good though.
Raincheck
BaGawd!!
Holy hell, we get an Adeiny Hechaverria home run call by John Sterling now. I’m sure it’ll be atrocious.
Bases loaded, nobody out? Yanks score one run on a walk. I swear, the only place you’d find as little scoring in opportune situations would be if I went to a brothel.
Why is Kuiper calling this game? He’s a dirt Niners guy!
Beats me, I’m watching the YES feed.
I just googled. He’s the younger brother of the dirt niners guy.
Also, my condolences.
My fantasy hopes rest on Bell and Wentz.
/Lights $50 on fire
This would make a great porn.

OK, but it was originally for the ball handling skills.
Are racist dogs now chewing exclusively on Nikes?
Just the whistles.
I’ll be in my bunk
(overhead at malls and shoe stores everywhere)
Parent: “You are not getting Nike shoes.”
Kid: “Why? Because you’re a racist?”
Parent: “No, because I’m not spending $150 for f***ing shoes!”
Will Harbaugh be handing out rape whistle necklaces to the team next year?
He should move his kids to a better school if that’s the case.
/Because he was fired and is now coaching middle-schoolers, you see.
I’m seeing double!

What is my sock drawer, Alex?
Draft almost at an end. I loathe fantasy football. Why am I playing it?
I did it for a few years and it made even angrier than I normally am. I enjoy NFL games much more without the hassle.
If Maria were my daughter, you know, perhaps I would be dating her
Apparently Disney’s doing a version of The Nutcracker. Morgan Freeman is Drosselmeyer, but I don’t see him doing ballet, and I would only go if it’s two hours of that.
In the spirit of compromise, players should be allowed to kneel, but only to the confederate flag. Everyone gets what they want!
Tim Tebow should lead the kneeling holding up a sword that has pierced through a burning Bible. He then tosses the charred Bible into a 55-gallon drum filled with gasoline and then leads everyone through a round of “Y-M-C-A” by the light of the flaming inferno. Then everyone stands at attention, puts their hand over their heart, and recites The Pledge of Allegiance. THEN they sing the National Anthem.
After which, they all roll out prayer rugs and face Mecca.
Once again, I gotta fix everyone’s mess.
If someone can sing the entire National Anthem (including the verse created in the Civil War), they are allowed to kneel and have one free punch or kick at a dirty cop convicted by a court of law by a jury of his peers.
If they fail in the attempt though, not only do they have to stand, they have to stand at attention for both the National Anthem and All Pregame Festivities and run 5 laps around the field. Backwards.
Two nights from tonight, many of us will be getting stoned because it’s halftime. That’s a warming thought.
HAI Fronk!
Who of us will be getting stoned for saying that that halibut was good enough for Jehovah?
JEHOVAH! JEHOVAH! JEHOVAH!
I continue to have a weak spot for Belinda Carlisle. One of her songs was popular when I was in college. When I was happy. And dumb. And happy.
I’ll never forget that time back in the ’80s when Belinda Carlisle called me and asked me to come over and get her pregnant but I couldn’t because I was in bed with The Bangles at that exact same moment.
Brick Meathook is Tommy Lee?!?!
I used to give him drugs and let him sit in my car.
I had a very similar dream. WEIRD.
Oh great, now she’s got chlamydia
And a hankering for menthol flavored lifesavers
Superb.
Seems fitting,

Hopefully something good will come from this madness.

I just noticed the u-word. As an act on contrition, I will now watch the following video.

I’m proud of Kaepernick.
It took a lot of guts to parlay a civil rights stand into a paycheck from a company built on slave labor in Malaysia and Vietnam that is based in the mecca of racial tolerance that is Oregon and who probably paid him at a discount due to his “circumstance” and who will now tell him what to say and when as long as it moves overpriced shoes among economically disadvantaged youths.
Well played.
I’m going to borrow this. The millenials I work with don’t know shit about football, and are jerking themselves off over this entire story. They also don’t know shit about anything.
Actuaily word is Nike picked him up because two of their competitors were looking at him. There may have even been a bidding war!
Ka-ching! A principled stand is that much sweeter when it goes to the highest bidder.
Good for him. Anything to troll the not-libs
Maria after being told her restraining order has been granted.
Evening commentists, I hope you are well and have burnt all things that you deem on the wrong side of whatever political leaning you are.
Jesus Christ, I’m so tired of America.
We’ve been over this hundreds of times 0.264 gal_soda. I can’t burn Michael Moore. That would be a felony and I’m not even certain fat is flammable.
Yeah…can’t really do that because as an atheist I’d be protesting the prevalence of Christianity in politics, which would mean I’d have to burn crosses, which, well, you know.
So what god(s) would you be offending for burning a lower case t?
Oh, no, it’s that I’m not one of those that works forces. So it wouldn’t really be appropriate for me to burn crosses.
Oldest Fozz Spawn started high school today. I have no idea how this happened. I tied his tie today, and had to peek over his shoulders because he’s three inches taller than me. I remember bringing him home from the hospital and wondering, “What the hell do I do now?”
It got dusty in the car on the ride to work. Damn dust.
I’m sure in two years he’ll be bringing his own little one home from the hospital and wondering, “Dad, what the hell do I do now?”
He won’t but the middle Fozz Spawn will be getting condoms for his 13th birthday, because that kid is destined to knock someone up.
Give him the same speech my parents gave me:
“Son we love you and trust you, but as God is our witness, if you knock someone up, we reserve the right to replace you with the girl and our grandchild.”
A tie? Are you sure you weren’t taking him to a court appearance?
It’s Balmer, so same thing?

I like your name, sir or madam. Well done.
“ra cqu et-se xual” is apparently a trigger word for the Automated DFO Kontent Politburo system. Add it to the list!
Can only assume the person who framed and shot this picture was some kind of racquet-sexual.
Hawt Taek: I’m getting really sick of the “She-Shier She Shed” commercial.
“Me Too!”
– Mike Mayock
There was a good Southwest Airlines commercial I saw today. Padre Weaselo and I laughed for a solid minute.
I guess she lost last night. Pretty soon she’ll be used to disappointing early exits ending in tears, then it’s my time to shine.
For a second there I thought you were referring to me after my last date.
Not nearly enough fuzzy balls getting paddled back and forth between two women to be considered a date.
Yeah, I’ll never make that mistake. Again.
Our draft is cranking along. I’m still not happy.
Everyone put your beer down. The NFL has commented on Nike-gate and I don’t want anyone to waste beer with a spit take.

There! FIFY!
Then again maybe we should listen to what those Russians have to say…
I believe I wish that skirt was shorter.
I have a nominee I like to submit for Asshole of the Week:

“Believe in something?”
What does that even mean? Like believe in Santa Claus, or chemtrails?
Nike had to use that because “stand for something” would’ve been just too funny.
I believe I’d like to be blackout drunk within 2 hours.
Does that count?
Anybody can believe in anything is what I’m saying. Believing and doing are two different things.
Now get out there and hit that bottle! Hard!
/punches bottle
//breaks hand
My feelings about the anthem protests changes daily. I understand the issues, but having first responders and veterans in my family is also something that impacts me. Fuck everybody.
First reponders and veterans should understand by this point that the anthem protests have no more to do with them than the Pledge of Allegiance does.
Rikki – I get that, so do they. The conflict in myself results from being brought up in a partriotic family that loved this country because coming to it changed their lives. And yes, I see that that statement is ironic, since this same country didn’t do that for other minorities.
No they are saving the “stand for something” campaign for when Shazier comes back.
Well the online service we are trying just shit the bed. I would rather be locked in a closet with a Donald Trump and covered in fire ants
Those AOL floppy disks must be defective or something…
Nothing personal, but I would love to see Donnie Bitch Tits locked in a closet with another guy who was covered in fire ants, because some of the fire ants would get on him.
What did fire ants do to you guys to deserve this?!
“RRRRR!!! FIRE BAD!!!”
(reading about Democrats joining protesters at SCOTUS confirmation hearing while at work) “Geez, way to disrupt things.”
(sees works and sees how Republicans completely ignored Democrats protests when all they could’ve done is say they’re Out of Order or put to a vote that they’ll win on a party line margin) “Wow. The Democrats were right?!”
You all are being a positive influence in me and making me a more open-minded individual. Stop that or I swear I will hunt you all down to my dying breath.
Just make sure you don’t go too far and end up as open-minded as JFK.
Wait a minute. Do I still get to nail people as hot as Jackie Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe, because I think that might be worth checking out early.
He had a good head on his shoulders, and on his neck, and on jackie, and on the back of that car . . .
I’m doing my draft. My uncle usually does it for our team. I fucking hate this. I want to beat the shit out of hte fucking toolshed who came up with this idea. Goddamn it.
Exactly how I felt last night when, for some godawful reason, our commissioner scheduled our draft for 9 PM. That was some pure hatedrafting and somehow I’m predicted to go undefeated on the year.
I need to look into how hate can optimize other aspects of my life.
I’m an expert on hate. It is the fuel that drives the machine. Even though I’m just about 50, it remains a strong force in my life. Keep practicing!

I’m eagerly awaiting the Keifer Sutherland picture tomorrow.
I’m starting to understand Jay Cutler on a fundamental level, I think, after the last week I’ve had.
I fucking love this!!!
😀
I’m quite tempted to print this out and hand out copies, mostly to family members.
