There’s a wee bit more fallout than usual this day that is the beginning of the work week for most and the end for selected others.
Hue’s extraordinarily underwhelming 3-36-1 record gets put to bed. I’ll wager $10,000 Hippo bucks that he never sniffs a head coaching job again because what fan base would ever put up with his hiring? I daren’t say the guy was in over his head. He had complete shit to work with for his first two years on the job and just couldn’t close the deal 4 different times this season. The guy made the Brownies competitive this year but just couldn’t get them over the hump. I feel he deserved to coach out the season at the very least. Management could then hand the reins over to a different dude that could bring something else to the table. Hell, Bellichick couldn’t get the members of this organization all pointed in the same direction! Hue almost made it happen.
Browns OC Boss Todd was tossed as well. I’m sure his (rumoured) abrasive personality was a contributing factor that will receive nary a mention in the national media. Whatever, the guy is going to end up being a qb coach on some team next year and he’ll slowly work his way back to an OC gig at some point down the line. Why? Because old white decision-makers just love themselves old re-treads. That’s why.
There’s plenty o’other things to yak about which no doubt will be covered off by some very esteemed commenters so I’ve got just one more thing to say… TO THE GAME!
Armpitriots/One Dollar Bills
New England wins in a walk. [spits]
That was easy. The prime directive tonight is to finish off all half-empty bottles of wine and what have you. ADEQUATE LEVELS OF PRODUCTION AT WORK TOMORROW BE DAMNED!
In roundball news, the Warriors just scored 92 points.
In one half.
Yawn. Just give them the title now.
The New England P*triots of the hardwood.
Jesus. I see that Klay Thompson has 36 points; he should go after Kobe’s big night just because fuck that rapist Kobe Bryant.
Has anyone thrown a phallic like object at booger?
Booger looks miserable in the snotmobile
Hard to look miserable while wearing Louis Vuitton, but he’s pulling off the look somehow.
Sorry I am late, Gronk no play?
been targeted twice IIRC
By Predator drones I hope.
I think the Bills are the shittiest team in the league with the best uniforms.
The worst team in the league with the worst unis…Tampa Bay Cremesicles.
psyched josh gordon is getting playing time…
“It’s not intentional grounding if Tom Brady does it.”
The same guy who acknowledged “horse balls” has a burning hatred of Tom Brady. Says him being a Patriot is only the *5th* worst thing about him. Will inquire about the top 4.
1. Michigan
2. Michigan
3, His whiny screechy voice
4. Michigan
Michigan is top 3 for him!
His stupid fucking socks.
The exercise and diet regime quackery.
mouth kissing his son
Never understood why the phrase “Person of Color” seems to be politically correct these days, but from now on, or at least on October 29th of each year, it should be changed to “Person of Hue.”
I don’t think referencing utter and complete failure whenever you interact with a minority is a great way to bring people together.
Brady runs like Cam Newton with his shoelaces tied together.
Tom Brady, ABSOLUTE UNIT.
Why do players not Bernard Pollard him?!
They can see the red sniper dots pointed at their chests if they even thought about it.
Oh I thought the league wired explosive devices into their helmets.
they should quick kick, seriously
But Doug Flutie isn’t on the roster anymore!
the size of Horse Balls’ testicles could get in the way, true
“Nah, even if the refs don’t see, you’ll still end up getting fined by the league.” – Ndamukong Suh
who do they think that dumb shit will work in 2018?
Just get some points so the P*ts D/ST total isn’t ridiculous, please
Who on earth is “McCloud III” at WR for BUF??
Next thing you know they’ll be bringing in Buckshank at corner.
Yeah what the fuck? There can only be I!
MCCLOUD!!!
?w=227&h=300
Because McMillan and wife have the week off.
Next week: Columbo!
Sad that I’m old enough to get that reference.
I don’t see the referees giving this one to the Patriots; it’s just not important enough.
I mean if this was late in the fourth quarters and the Bills were somehow leading, sure, but not now.
exactly
wow, not even CLOSE
Did the Deep State slip peyote into both OC’s pre-game meal?
c’mon JewkahDOWN

Leaving James White completely unmarked is an…interesting strategy.
This is what happens when you get Cotton McKnight calling the defensive formations.
I feel like that 2nd and 10 was the most adversity the Patriots will face tonight.
So is this Monday Night Football on ESPN or a rerun of The Replacements on USA?
Gronk needs more Tide Pods for fuel, apparently.
Fun Factoid: He doesn’t actually “eat” them.
He dips them like chaw.
Your partly right about it being in his cheeks.
that is where my mind went!
Years of ppr fantasy football has instilled a Pavlovian response in me to the phrase “T. Brady passed to J. Edelman for 11 yards.” THAT’S TWO POINTS BABY!
Um…is there a giant panda doing sideline reporting in the English broadcast, too?
Are you watching on ESPN Deportes??
ESPN2, according to my Roku.
But yes, the commentary is in Spanish.
I’m curious, what happens when you hit the SAP button?
Latvian?
I haven’t been able to find the SAP button on my TV.
So when I saw that Derek Anderson was described as an “old stallion” I muttered “horse balls” and the guy next to me at that bar heard me and affirmed Anderson is and forever will be Horse Balls.
Where did horse balls come from?
Apparently the original KSK article is gone but maybe you could find a vintage tee-shirt over at spreadshirtmedia.com.
I kinda dig this all-trickeration offense.
This is me in Madden. But I’d never use the Bills.
My Madden Mobile offense is “run HB Blast and bounce it to the outside until that stops working, then throw long, then repeat step 1”
TRICKERATION… wait it’s incomplete. Never mind.
ummm I think this game is gonna be close
Nah, Buffalo just shot their entire wad in that first possession.
But I hope they keep doing crazy college plays.
Howdy, folks. Y’all ready for a whoopin’?

I call this Jamaican place near us to order takeout. Guy tells me I only need to call ahead for the red snapper and that I can just come in. I ask if I can still just order by phone and grab it. No, he says, just come in. I drive over and they have a sign on the door – closed til 11a tomorrow.
When Trump starts populating his concentration camps — and he will be populating many of them — trying to save the guy who answered the phone will not the hill I die on.
Wait, did Josh Allen die or something that Horse Balls is starting?
Yup. Gone at least 2-3 more weeks.
the 7-Nation Army bellowing makes me feel a little better about what is gonna happen to these
Dresden-level firebombings?
Ah, is there any greater invention than the day-old discount baked good? I HAVE to eat this whole cake, it was on sale!

At this point…I’m not even surprised anymore…
Is there some reason to believe it was more than just a standard nightclub shooting?
Well it was “Purge” themed party…so I guess this is on the victims…
found a funny:

The weekly “medicinal” delivery to the clubhouse is getting out of hand.
Nice to see that Hippo’s putting our Prime membership to good use.
You guys should probably put some inflatable crash pads down around the clubhouse, when the Bengals inevitably bring Hue Jackson back and I jump through a window.
Are you sure you want pads? Maybe we just let the concrete end your misery if that were to happen?
he’s pro-life so he has to at least pretend
/makes note to order those ACME pads with anvils in them, as endorsed by Wile E. Coyote, Supergenius Esq.
As long as the P*ts just score TDs and not field goals I’ll be okay—I’m up by about 7.5 on Shogun in the DFO League but he has Gostkowski. I think I’d have the tiebreaker still between everyone since I have the most points, but still, game lead and then fuck it up in the semis sounded like more fun.
I’m neck and neck with Brocky, like 3 point lead plus JEWKAH! against Gordon. Quite happy Josh is on Grumblelord’s naughty list, and he might play restricted snaps.
You get me on heavy bye carcass status Week 9! 😀
So I’ve got an $8M project to renovate a large barracks at a local Army base in San Antonio. We’ve just about completed the demolition phase inside and are working on outdoor stuff such as sidewalks and patios and such. The project has had some problems but thus far they’ve been manageable (unforeseen site conditions, such as shit behind walls and above dropped ceilings, manifest themselves in almost every renovation project).
This morning I get a call from the base civil engineering folks asking me can we put a contractual stop-work on the project and have the contractor vacate the premises right away? Like, today?
Turns out that the empty wings of the barracks building (those we haven’t torn up) have been chosen to house part of the “surge” of troops that El Presidente has ordered to the border to protect us all from the Caravan of Crazed Caucasian Killers that are heading towards the southern border like a extinction-event asteroid.
So we did.
Your tax dollars at play.
I want to say three years ago my college started the process of getting rid of asbestos in their older buildings. One other old building is closed this semester.
Old buildings have some crazy shit.
Biggest problem we have is the lack of as-built diagrams of buildings, some of which are 60 or more years old, and have had numerous modifications over the years with no record of such. This makes the design process problematic.
Scariest steel mill I ever worked at was in PA. The fucking facility was over 100 years old.
Dear god there was not a single drawing or diagram we could use.
I worked on the former Alameda Naval Air Station across from San Francisco back in the 90’s. We did the VFX for What Dreams May Come (“Painted World” sequence, won the Oscar for best VFX) and our offices were in an airplane hanger, that we used as a stage (The Well of Souls!). All the old steam piping was covered in plastic because asbestos, and there were way-cool pneumatic message tubes everywhere (they didn’t work). They were having difficulty redeveloping the base because there were underground fuel lines everywhere but apparently no maps.
MAN THAT MOVIE SUCKED ASS!
Visual effects were very good, though.
It was pretty dumb, but our sequence is still the greatest piece of motion picture VFX footage ever created in the history of the whole universe.
That would be Battlefield Earth and you know it…
In those cases, I always advocate demo with a specialty contractor assuming everything is dirty and then rebuild as much as possible from scratch.
Keeps everything nice and easy.

I’m not saying I am having as bad of a week as Hue…but it personally feels close…
On Tuesday I came back from NL. By Wednesday, I could tell I had bronchitis. Set up a doc appointment for today. Sunday, couldn’t start my car because my battery shit the bed.
So I get a ride from my coworker and his wife. I had my cell phone in the back seat because I was checking for directions to the auto parts place. I get a battery, walk back out to their car, and we go to my place.
I install the battery…and then notice “shit I left my phone in the other car!”
So I send off an email and the wife says she can’t find it. I went over their twice to check. Then I went to the auto parts place to see maybe if I took it out on the counter…but nope. They have no idea what I am talking about.
I’ve torn apart my car, my garage, and my fucking house and I cannot find the damn thing. I can’t image I would drop it and not hear the fucking thing bang on the ground.
But when people call it, it goes instantly to voice mail, making me suspect that someone has already turned it off.
I’ve already changed my work email password. That is literally the only thing that is on the phone that I am worried about. And the phone is finger print encrypted, so you have to wipe the whole thing and start from scratch.
But I am annoyed because the sim card is just a burner card. So I can’t just move it to my backup phone. And so this means I need a new number…which means I need to update every fucking account that uses my number as its also my main work number. And so new business cards, updating my email signature, fucking all my insurance and banking contact.
On a positive, I can “accidentally forget” to tell my family what my new number is.
Just a thought- there are a number of home run comments that need/deserve to get out to the twitterverse. Increased traffic to the site awaits.
This one is real and Patriot related: I had no idea John Hannah was white until I saw him on some “Football Countdown” show. I assumed he was black because Patrice O’Neal wore his jersey on Tough Crowd w/CQ once.
This has been a rather enjoyable listen and random find:

Uncle Ed once went to a postgame party at Jim Kelly’s house circa 1992. Said Thurman Thomas would call himself “T-H squared”, and Marv Levy would bring a bottle of Manischewitz just for him and Bruce Smith.
Hue finally getting fired is a little bittersweet for me. I was able to take some small (okay, large) measure of joy in ever Cleveland loss because it validated my insistence that he was the worst coach in NFL history. But now…all of that is over. I’d love it if Cleveland would start winning right away, but they won’t.
Oh, who am I kidding, I am fucking JUICED that Hue got sent packing. Did he ever actually jump into the lake, though?
Nope. The fucker said he would do it at the end of this season.
Add this to the unending list of shit he never fucking accomplished in Cleveland.
Edit…I’m an idiot. He did actually do this. I am brain farting.
I thought he did, it was in the first episode of Hard Knocks.
Do I think he was a great coach, fuck no, but considering the turds he had to try and build a team with? He probably did as much as anybody else could. It would be interesting (never going to happen) to see if he could actually do anything with a real roster instead of who dat and qb’s whose talent was about as real as Manti Teo’s girlfriend. Shit, the 2016 roster has names that would look more like rosters from a cheaply made NFL knockoff game where they couldn’t afford the rights to real players names. And considering Haslem takes draft advice from hobos I bet that Hue had about as much input into the team make up as I do with America’s middle east policy.
Basically a few of those games where the ref’s fucking over the Browns (more so than any other team), which the NFL even admitted after the fact should probably have been wins, at least 2 of them.
Not sure why I am defending him, but who is a worse coach, one who had no name players and seems to try or McCarthy who has talented players and his “coaching” seems to hurt the team more than help.
Hue. Hue is the worse coach.
It wasn’t the roster. Sure, the roster was bad. Many teams have had rosters that were bad. The 1976-77 Bucs were vastly worse. But Hue managed to lose all the coin tosses, too! His Browns teams were 1-6-1 in overtime. They were 3-14-1 in one-score games. Every time he got close, he just managed to find a new way to lose.
I mean if their kicker didn’t completely shit his dick in Week 2, they beat the Saints.
Maybe hiring Hue Jackson was a purposeful sabotage by Brownies management, and now they think they’ve got enough talent to compete so they bring in a real cooch. If you need to tank, hire
HankHue.The Ebony and Ivory of getting shitcanned. I like that rule, if you fire a black coach one of his white assistants must go too.
