Your “Oh, Okay – More Sports?!” Tuesday Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

  • Richard Sherman took being Richard Sherman like a man last night, when questioned about the call that kept the Packers game-winning drive alive:
    • “I can’t have that penalty … regardless of how I feel about it. I have to find a way to make that play without getting flagged.”
    • Considering that exact play is how he’s made his reputation, it sounds like a man who understands you can’t get away with everything.
  • For those of you who hate Ohio State, feel free to tweet a “thank you” to Nick Bosa.
    • When his core muscle injury is healed up, he’s going to sit the rest of OSU’s season in order to prepare for the draft.
    • PFT bravely calls it “a greater commitment to his own future, rather than risk(ing) [that future] for the glorification and enrichment of a system which treats him like an unpaid intern.”
  • The new theory, because people are bored, is that Le’Veon Bell is going to return on October 30th.
    • At 4:01 PM, after the trade deadline, but still during Week 8, which will allow him to gain enough credit for a full season and trigger his free agency.
    • It’ll also give him more time to work on his poetry.
  • The Alliance of American Football – the Ebersol version of the XFL – is scheduled to start its season one week after Super Bowl LIII.
    • In case you’ve forgotten, it’s an eight team, ten week league.
      • Oh, and all the teams have names now: (these are also the first week matchups)
        • Atlanta Legends & Orlando Apollos
        • San Diego Fleet & San Antonio Commanders
          • because “San Diego Commanders” would have been TOO perfect for DFO.
        • Memphis Express & Birmingham Iron
        • Salt Lake Stallions & Arizona Hotshots

Finally, it appears the Patriots have…Sorry, let me rephrase this in the local vernacular:

  • FACK! IT APPEAHS THAT YOU-AH CAN’T NO LONGAH SHOW THE PATS OPPONENT HOW YOU-AH REALLY FEEL! FACKIN’ GOODELL’S MAKIN’ THA GAME SAWFTA!!

  • Patriots fans, however, come out on two sides:

   

  • Reggie Bush seems to have the appropriate take on all this:


Tonight’s sports:

They will but how much is Joseph to blame vs Elway for the way DEN has wasted this SB caliber defense?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Suggest no one read the comments (goes for any NFL site), like I just did. EEEEDIOT.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I ain’t teh signed up fer Twitface or any dem thangs anyways.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Both have had a big hand in it; remember Elway hired Vance. Three really high QBs (Tebow wasn’t Elway’s doing) sets any team back. Miller must be PISSED, he’s never trash talked like this before a game.

I love how in 15 years we’ve gone from people online saying “nuclear war is bad” to “Please, God, just end it already.”

Senor Weaselo

It’s pronounced nookular!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I’m listening to strangers talking about the sugar free haribo gummi Amazon reviews as if it’s groundbreaking literature. I hate people.

ballsofsteelandfury

Which Westside vegan coffee place are you at?

Brick Meathook

Is that on 2nd Street in Santa Monica by the Promenade? I’m not sure, but 20 years ago that used to be a porno movie theater.

Unsurprised

Yum

ballsofsteelandfury

Holy shit, that’s right!

Brick Meathook

Pink Pussycat

Explains why all the desserts are cream pies.

ballsofsteelandfury

HIHO? A Korean pie shop?

If you want pie, go to House of Pies on Vermont. Or wait until the new one opens in Venice.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Burger joint across the street from sugarfish in Santa Monica

ballsofsteelandfury

Yeah, I just figured it out. Btw, Brick is right. The Laemmle used to be a porno theater back in the day…

Brick Meathook

No, the Laemmle and the Pink Pussycat were two different buildings. Actually I think the Pink Pussycat became a Buca di Beppo Italian restaurant.

Brick Meathook

And Santa Monica Pier was loaded with junkies.

ballsofsteelandfury

Fletch was based on reality.

ballsofsteelandfury

I defer to you on that. I do remember the theater, just not the exact location. I assumed the Laemmle took it over because the infrastructure was already there.

Brick Meathook

There was some glorious grunge back then. All gone.

I don’t give a fuck about the NLCS outcome on the face of things, but I attended a game at Miller Park in 2011 so I guess I’ll root for Brewers as I have a souvenir mug in my cupboard. Also, if it pisses off rich powerful TV exec’s, especially Fox, for a small market team getting in to the WS, I’m all for it. Plus fuck the Dodgers for displacing the Hispanic neighborhood and fucking over the residents with their underpriced buyouts when they built the stadium in Chavez Ravine back in the 50s.

I don’t like their attitude at all.

I haven’t seen that much candy flying around since Jamarcus Russell’s overcoat exploded at the candy convention.

4. Wedding is just far enough away that I felt more comfortable staying the night before, so I crashed with the groom. we already had the bachelor party, so we just sat around playing video games like a couple of kids, which was fitting given our relationship. he’s better at virtually every single game in the world, cept smash brothers. I havent played in years but I kicked his ass as kirby.

I’m not sure your sister likes you referreing to her kids as zombie.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Joke’s on you. I don’t have a sister.

theeWeeBabySeamus

But I do daily deal with my brother’s kids and grandkids since he’s incarcerated for life.

Nope, not joking.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Here in TX, a life sentence could simply mean the cops found three marijuana seeds and a quarter inch roach in his car ashtray back in 1979.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Murder and Conspiracy to commit.
If I’d had my way, he’d have gotten a lethal injection.

And if he ever does manage to beat the system and get out, I’ll be waiting for him. He won’t last 2 hours on the outside once I get my hands around his throat.

For now, however, my mother still loves him. So I have to keep that to myself.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Wow, that’s about on the complete opposite end of the spectrum from my hypothetical scenario.

theeWeeBabySeamus

He’s a bad person. To say the least.
And he better hope parole doesn’t find him.

I WILL kill him if he ever gets out.
Already tried once on the inside during a visit. They really should have plexiglass, so it really wasn’t my fault as much as theirs.

Senor Weaselo

THIS TWBS I CALL HIM MICHAEL CORLEONE BECAUSE, well, I’ll end it there, as your mom sounds wonderful/hilarious and I hope she has many more years left in her.
