Your “For A Hill, Men Will Kill” Wednesday Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

  • No man is an island, and Chad Kelly found that out late Tuesday night as he was a clod washed away by a sea of bad press.  
    • He was cut by the Broncos as a result of his criminal trespass arrest after the Broncos Hallowe’en party.
    • PFT has rumours of intoxicated behaviour, and “aggressive actions” towards another guest at the party, and then a separate altercation with the security hired for the party.
      • On top of breaking into the home he was arrested for entering, and getting clubbed by the homeowner.
    • He was allegedly drafted by Elway as a favour to his uncle Jim, and was actually on track to start if Case Keenum didn’t improve.
  • On the subject of gone insane from the pain deep inside, Everson Griffen has apparently sorted out his demons & returned to the Vikings.
    • He will return to practice, and decisions will be made weekly about his gameday availability.
      • “The main focus isn’t getting Everson ready to play,” coach Mike Zimmer said at his morning news conference. “I’m sure some people in this room have dealt with some of these things. I don’t think it’s as unique as we make it out to be.
    • Y’know what? It actually sounds like they are taking his needs into account. Good for them, and him. Belichick would’ve just cut him & thrown him on the Hernandez pile.

  • The bell has tolled for Week 15 & 16 games being flexed from Sunday to Saturday night, and onto the NFL Network:
    • December 15:
      • Houston Texans at New York Jets at 4:30 p.m. ET.
      • Cleveland Browns at the Denver Broncos at 8:20 p.m. ET.
    • December 22:
      • Washington [Redacteds] at Tennessee Titans at 4:30 p.m. ET
      • Baltimore Ravens at Los Angeles Chargers at 8:20 p.m. ET
  • Hearing the silence so loud on the Le’Veon Bell front, Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster decided to take matters into his own hands.

  • You’ll find this SHOCKING!, but it appears Jon Gruden might also be losing the locker room.
    • The “anyone could go at anytime” ethos that has taken over the team has left players on edge, since each no longer feels a part of the main, and wondering how much they should care since it looks like after the season most of them might be gone.
      • Time marches on.
    • “I think many of us realize we won’t be here next year,” a player told The Athletic. “We are just waiting to see if we will be here next week…You have to wonder if we haven’t been playing for draft picks all along,” the player said. “Despite everything the coaches told us at training camp.”

Well, I’ve beaten the metaphor long enough.

James?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

They should fully embrace evil and unveil a new wrestler called “Bonesaw” during their next cash-collecting trip to the Middle East.

Redshirt

They could give Becky Lynch the nickname Bonesaw, but the world press would probably write an editorial praising that decision.

Spoiler

For those non-wrestling fans, Becky Lynch is a female wrestler who recently turned evil, but the fans love her so much, they refuse to boo her and cheer her every action. She could say Uproxx rocks, and the DFO Overlords would put her comment on the top page.

Gratliff

The Saudi Arabia thing fucks with me more than I thought it would. I didn’t watch the first propaganda house show, but I didn’t cancel my sub or anything, but when I found out they were going the second time, I let the sub lapse and with everything the past few weeks, I’m completely turned off the product, which is awesome since Vince has gathered up like 90% of the best wrestlers in the world. Fortunately, there are basically infinite alternatives to fill the void, but shit like Evolution where I want to watch but can’t bring myself to are rough, especially when Vince is gonna be having drinks with people who probably want to murder the entire Evolution line up.

Redshirt

I got turned off after that show. It was a glorified house show and I got tired of them pushing “Vince’s guys/gals” over everyone else.

Take Evolution, half the wrestlers that made the woman’s division is being stuck in the midcard, there is no Women’s Tag Team Championship (which would make the show), the reason for the Diva’s Revolution is being retconned so far it makes Superboy-Prime punching the walls of reality logical by comparison, and one of the fighters in the championship match represents what was wrong with the Diva’s Division in the first place.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I love how the Colts’ defense has become my “secret weapon” in fantasy.

That said, it’s really hard deciding whether to start them or the Patriots, who are facing the Bills.

Dept. Head: “When you guys remove stuff, you don’t tell us.”
Redshirt: “Well maybe we’d tell you if your person responsible for the stuff would actually be at her desk instead of being who knows where doing God knows what.”
Dept. Head: “There’s no need to assign blame here.”
Redshirt: “I suddenly realize why the person I’m replacing is quitting.”

I’ll try to summarize the last bit of negotiations-

Union: [tries to pull a fast one]

Me: [too dumb to know what they’re doing, calls their bluff unintentionally]

Union: [makes ‘very last offer’] “Refuse this and we’re headed to conciliation/arbitration(?)”

Me: [figures out the previous bluff, makes changes to ‘final offer’] “This is my line in the sand sort of thing.”

Union: “We’ve got a deal.”

/after 3 days of back and forth, can someone come over here and massage my frayed nerves?

I think it is interesting that with both the Chad Kelly and Everson Griffen situations, no one dares mention the elephant in the room, that perhaps having young men spending most of their childhood exchanging concussions might…you know…lead to serious mental issues down the road…

scotchnaut

Things are finally turning around in Trump’s America.

Yeah except they will probably try to use his mental health issues to take away Griffen’s right to vote.
