NFL News:
- Le’Veon isn’t “officially” on the trading block, but at least the Jets have called about his rights.
- The Steelers can rescind his franchise tag & trade him, but would need something valuable in return, since they’d only qualify for a third-round compensatory pick that they’d immediately lose because of all their other free agent signings.
- nfl.com speculates about five possible landing spots for Bell, each with their own unique, some might say “idiotic” logic:
- Houston – they need help, but “Belichick disciples” don’t pay large for free agents
- Indianapolis – cap space & picks
- NY Jets – “win now” mode
- Miami – LOL Doplhins
- Seattle – they can ship Earl Thomas the other way, plus Rashaad Penny, the kid they drafted #1.
- So Everson Griffen went full Barret Robbins prior to the Bills game, minus the Tijuana, and that’s why he didn’t play in their debacle against the Bills.
- He is currently under medical supervision in Minneapolis.
- Deadspin has the full synopsis and it’s actually quite sad, to the point where I almost feel guilty for the Barret Robbins crack. Almost.
- It’s 2018 & the #MeToo era, so it seems about time that the NFL should have an all-female announce booth.
- Andrea Kremer and Hannah Storm will provide commentary and analysis for Amazon’s live streaming coverage of Thursday Night Football.
- Prime members will get their choice of the FOX broadcast, Hannah & Andrea, a Spanish-announce team, or the UK announce feed.
- Honestly, I wish they had them on the SAP button so I could mute Joe & Troy.
- Andrea Kremer and Hannah Storm will provide commentary and analysis for Amazon’s live streaming coverage of Thursday Night Football.
- After last night’s four Roughing the Passer calls, the League has tallied 34 so far this year, versus 109 for all of 2017.
- The League is having a Competition Committee phone conference next week to “discuss” the rash of calls.
- It is expected new “interpretations” will emerge on the body weight and “scoop & slam” issue.
- While he’s still active & healthy, the Mayor of Houston weighed in:
- The League is having a Competition Committee phone conference next week to “discuss” the rash of calls.
Roughing the Passer calls are absolutely out of control.

Every once in a while, I like to look at the alexa.com site stats, because I need to know I’m not alone in the universe. Anyway, aside from noting we are inching closer to being the 350,000th most popular site on the web, I quite enjoyed their breakdown of how people come to the site via search:
It’s like they know us. FYI – here’s a link to the term I know you’ll want to read. I’ll leave it to Moose & Seamus to take care of the other one.

DOUBTFUL!
At the pool hall with mah baby, drinking and eating and playing.
Yes, she’s kicking my ass. Beginner’s damn luck.
Hello insomnia my old friend
Celebrity yogoats
Kate is awesome. And her friend Art, too.
And the goats pooped on her ex’s mat, which is a nice bonus.
I always knew Doctor Who was a smart show, but I’m watching a 1st Season (revival) episode where losing contestants of game shows and reality TV game shows are disintegrated. I think they were on to something.
Mmm. White Genocide.
‘Nite folks.
Or that.
I’m not falling for this.
I just finally made friends with my possum. She took a cracker out of my hand without hissing at me or trying to bite for the first time. Which is an improvement over most of the women in my life over the past many years.
But she’s still very not attractive. yeeesh.
Do you call her Bitey?
Art
What an odd name for a goat.
The docu-series Explained, on Netflix, is a little hit and miss for me but this week’s installment Music is good. That said, these shows are only 20 minutes so it’s not a hard science deep-dive but still nice.
Agreed.

And we’re at the “tWBS posts All-American Rejects” point of the night. A bit early, if my timer is right.
You are correct, sir.
M’kay
She’s hired
Ok, I just helped a woman with a baby and like five suitcases load up her Uber. I feel like I did my good deed for the week.
You’re a good man.
Part-time only
I don’t believe that for one second, Sir.
She shot him just to watch him dye.
Man, I got no friends. At least none that are off on Thursday afternoon and/or want to go to The Coliseum.
I can get two tickets 11 rows up from the corner of the end zone for $160 each, or I can get a single for $190. Or I can sit in upper upper reaches for $60 and listen to the game on an AM radio. This is also known as “the stabby zone.”
Anybody interested in a $160 ticket to see Jared Goff and Kirk Cousins in person? Let me know soon (like in 10 minutes) because price creep is setting in.
I would but I’m out of town and that’s not worth the price.
Your Los Angeles Rams, folks, here they are:
BFC is going to be on an airplane. Who will step up to the plate and sink that putt in the net?
I’m off on Thursday. Actually I’m off just about every day.
I’d even pay to go to that game, yes.
Don’t think I can get there in time.
But I’m your friend. I hope.

To address the rumors before: I am neither DB Cooper nor Chuck Yeager’s grandson.
I am more closely related to Edward Nygma.

So you made it out of Tennessee then?
Barely. I have no idea what day it is. And I’m sober.

That’s just what DB Cooper would say.

Oh yeah, I said sommet about her hair yesterday. I forgot.
She did look cute.
OK, I can’t find any images. But she had this little ponytail floofy thing going on.
Ask Ayo, he saw it.
Don’t drag me into this!
But yeah, I was there.
Oh don’t act so surprised. I plan to take you down with me.

Steve Young really needs to go to The Men’s Wearhouse.
That jacket is hideous.
The screen cap makes the jacket look bad; Steve looks bad naturally.
Agreed, the screen cap makes the material look more terrible than it probably is. But the material is not the worst part.
It doesn’t fit. His tailor is an idiot.
I think most of the on-air clothes are by the studios; with budget cuts they may have just given him Troy Wingo’s jacket and said “Fuck it.”
LMFAO. You’re probably right.

You know, Trump. Just withdrawal the nomination and no questions’ll be asked.
To hell with it. Nominate me to be the next Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. I haven’t taken a law course but I know how to read, I love to research the facts and I believe the Constitution should be interpreted by the words written on the parchment.
Yes, but you’re not a terrible human being. Well, any more than the rest of us.

From an Editorial in the local newspaper (almost verbatim) (before you ask, not written by me):
I was at a convenience store buying a bottle of juice when the cashier asked if I wanted a plastic bag for my one bottle. As soon as I said yes, I heard a voice behind me say “That’s bad for the environment.” I turned around saw a woman in reading glasses looking at her phone. I started to say “Actually, its….” and the lady responded “Whatever. I’m not going to start with you.” and went back to her phone.
Judgmental. Dismissive. With a pinch of demonizing.
You see, its Lib-iots like this that give Progressive Patriots like you all a bad name. Maybe the guy was going to reuse the bag to pack his lunch. Maybe he was going to collect fruit to give to the homeless. We don’t know because she immediately dismissed his argument without giving him a chance to defend himself.
I have a feeling people like this would call for a boycott of “The Flintstones” due to insensitivity because its insinuates that heterosexual family units can have a gay old time.
And if you think I’m reading things from nowhere, that may be, but at least you know how Conservatives from Ohio think whenever we’re not drinking the blood of the innocent or Sieg Trump-ing. I only wrote one post on an Internet discussion board about this . This guy wrote a half page editorial about this in the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Yeah but… about the only thing more annoying than accosting random people about their bag choice is complaining about being accosted for your bag choice to a newspaper. What a delicate little snowflake. Why does he expect the world to revolve around him? Why can’t he go out there and work hard for his bag instead of expecting one to be given to him for free? And the bit about the phone seems all to convenient a fit to the narrative of hippie young people with their faces in their phones.
Decent point. I’ve written to the Enquirer about the Reds becoming a Quadruple-A team, Marvin Lewis saying real fans should stay the course while they suck and about Deflectin’ Donald Trump. I haven’t written to the paper because my feelings were hurt by someone.
Definitetly seems like an old man thing to do, complain about things to the paper. Something I’ve begun to notice is that the same rhetoric comes from both sides, about how they are being persecuted by the other side. Environmentalist/PC police on the left are killing Christmas! Big Businesses/the 1% are exploiting the poor and oppressing minorities!
Both sides seem to think the other side represents the rich and powerful.
In a way, both sides are controlled by the rich and powerful. Republicans have Businessmen. Democrats have Hollywood stars.
Both have both.
The Clintons through the years and others like them “Business Democrats” have huge business backing. Both parties state governments are big on huge corporate tax breaks and give aways to get companies like Amazon to move there, then they wind up trashing the budget paying for services to the low paid employees and infrastructure needs of said corporations. WHAT A COUNTRY.
Democrats absolutely have business people. Zuckerberg and Mark Cuban ring a bell?
They pay others to ring bells for them.
Exactly; just the type of made up story that makes people such as Redshirt come in their pants for the stereotype “See how libtards are!” No doubt there are those like this, but they are not nearly as common as Fox news would have the “people” believe.
One marvelous thing about being an adult is the peace of mind to say to anyone “Mind yer own business, huh?” The rest of the anecdote smacks of made up culture warmongering.

Back in the day my dad and I would watch Friday Night Fights; it was a great memory of growing up.
Buffalo, aka East Coast Edmonton, looking to ice five top 10 draft picks this year, including one number 1 overall, and two number 2’s.
I for one, cannot wait until Ottawa wins the draft lottery because Colorado owns their pick.
Eugene Melnyk is a fucking genius.
Buffalo and Columbus are playing in some local ice rink somewhere in New York. Pretty cool camera angle at least, very close to the ice. Plus, Dahlin is playing.
At chuck E cheese, things got weird at night time….
Could be worse, could have been at Freddy Fazbear’s.
The woman sitting next to me on this plane is more fidgety than a 4 year old. Will be a long flight.
I’ve no idea what your job is but I’m 73.9% sure you’re Chuck Yeager’s grandson.

I see Senate Republicans have scheduled the committee vote on Kavanaugh already, despite really wanting to hear what one or multiple accusers have to say. What’s that word the President uses all the time? Oh yeah RIGGED
Also, I hope no woman ever lets a MAGA chud see/feel the inside of a vulva ever again.
That’s the problem: we live in such a culture of rape that there are binders full of women who see nothing wrong with what’s going on and will happily give it up to MAGA men
53% of white women voted for Donald Trump, who still has a 90% overall approval rating with Republicans. That presumably includes a couple of women.
“Lets”
Those fuckers don’t care about consent.
ppl forget that justices can also be impeached.
Plus the bar is lower for Justices. For everyone is “High Crimes and Misdemenors”. Article III of the US Constiution says judges “shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour”. They can be impeached for bad behavior. It has been done before.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_in_the_United_States#Federal_officials_impeached
Also arrested and prosecuted just like regular people!
Yeah, sure.
Democrats aren’t helping out much. As soon as Ford made her accusation a few of them said “We need to investigate this, but I believe her.”
You can’t call for an FBI Investigation and then convict the accused in absentia. Those are two different things.
Lot of people enjoying how the UN #resist(ed) Trump by laughing at him. No one is asking why over 100 countries signed off on his backwards and violent global drug war bill.
Sigh.
Authoritarianism fucking rules is why.
I am almost curious to see what kind of gymnastics they needed to do for this. Almost.
What gymnastics. They just lumber through like Godzilla. They don’t give a fuck.
On a related note in Canadia

“When the Southern Plantation owners needed labor, people from Africa were so happy to help that they not only got onto the boats, they insisted on moving the oars themselves. All they asked for a place to stay, food, work, with the occasional discipline..”
That’s still how the British describe the Indian and Chinese coolies that replaced African slaves – changing the name of the institution but maintaining the effect, meaning that the British still had slaves into the 1970s.
Not that we’re any better. We just renamed slavery in the 13th Amendment as prison labor and it’s thriving quite well.
I went down the ‘abandoned dog is shown love and is given a forever home’ rabbit hole. There might just be hope for humanity.

Stick with us, Redshirt-next thing you know, you’ll be okay with women voting Democrat while wearing heels.
Wearing heels or wearing only heels?
…Yes?
Honestly, this needs to happen more often
Within reason. If a person deserves it or did something wrong, yes. But don’t do it just because the Junior Senator is a Republican who voted with their party.
It’s just as well, Ted Cruz wasn’t hungry for his grubs anyway.
So that’s what happened to Marc Trestman’s Windowless Van!
