Your “Is ‘Friends’ On? Thursday Evening Open Thread

Of course not. Anyone with parents over the age of 60 knows Thursday are the domain of “The Big Bang Theory”,

Yay

and “Little Sheldon”.

NFL News:

  • The Jets have done the Jetsiest thing they could do and hired a coach who could only beat them when in his previous gig. Jets fans: Adam Gase is now the Jets head coach.
    • He’ll be doing for Sam Darnold what he successfully did for Ryan Tannehill.
      • Darnold is on-board with Gase, adding “I’m really excited to work with him because of all the good things he’s done.”

  • Based on the Gase decision, Mike McCarthy has removed himself from contention for all other openings.
    • He said it was New York or nothing for him in 2019.
      • So he’ll sit at home and collect the $8 million the Packers owe him for the one remaining year.
    • That works for the Bengals, since McCarthy’s previous salary of above minimum wage meant Mike Brown was never considering him in the first place.
      • Who apparently have their eye on current Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy.
        • Which should assuage the Fritz Pollard Alliance, an organization comprised of scouts, coaches, and front office personnel in the NFL as well as other sports professionals committed to equal opportunity in the industry.
          • They lament the current 0-fer in available openings for minority hires.
            • Especially with the Jets hiring Adam Gase, because “look at the fact Brian Flores coming out of New England. New England has dominated the AFC East over there. And Brian Flores would probably know about the Jets more than anybody.”
  • According to ESPN, here’s who the Packers also talked to and/or interviewed before settling on Matt LaFleur:
    • Patriots offensive and defensive coordinators Josh McDaniels and Brian Flores (pictured);
    • Saints offensive assistants Dan Campbell and Pete Carmichael;
    • Buccaneers offensive coordinator Todd Monken;
    • former Dolphins head coach Adam Gase;
    • Chuck Pagano;
    • Jim Caldwell (pictured); and
    • Packers interim coach Joe Philbin.

It looks like A-A-Ron dodged a few bullets with the LaFleur hiring.

I’ve got some awesome homemade Maryland Crab Soup here, and also some hearty (and healthy) lentil soup as well. Just hold your USB cable up to your mouth and I’ll send you some, just tap on your space bar thrice when you are ready.

Why

Sheer fucking insanity from Texas where local GOP members are attempting to remove a party chair, because he’s Muslim and they’re concerned he may be a terrorist.

Sharkbait

Isn’t that a typical Thursday in Texas?

WCS

If the dipshit doesn’t get the message his fellow Republicans are sending, fuck him, too.

Gratliff

Pretty much. It’s still staggering sometimes how willing these fucks are to show the world who they are. Not even the pretense of not being shitheads.

SonOfSpam

Didn’t realize he was a Republican. Maybe the Muslim GOP can join forces with the Log Cabin Republicans and become Queer’an Republicans.

Sharkbait

I wish I was an unsuccessful NFL head coach. $8 million to sit on my ass and do nothing? Sign me up.

I want to drink but I still have the sniffles. How do I justify this?

Alcohol kills germs.

“He’s more disease than man now. Like some kind of Germ-man.”

“Germ-man is so sick. he can’t climb up into a random space to fix the insulation; he’s anti-some-attic.”

Fuck, that wasn’t worth the effort. Sorry.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I can’t go a different room because my wife is waiting just outside to give me a hard time about forgetting to do some chores. She is always hall-accosting me like that.

SonOfSpam

The worst is when you’ve taken so much pain medication, your senses get completely dulled; like, you stub your toe and don’t even react. You’ve lost your ouch-wits.

Referring to your condition as “the sniffles” limits your beverage choice to Zima.

I can’t wait for some team like the Bills to name an umbrella that Sean McVay once used as their new offensive coordinator.

I’ll believe it when I see NotHue being introduced. I’ve learned my lesson at the casino not to count my winnings while I’m still playing. I’ve gone from “Yes! Up $500!” to a painfully furious silent drive home several times.

It’s twelve o’clock, and it’s a wonderful day
I know you hate me, but I’ll ask anyway
Won’t you come with me, to a place in a little town
The only way to get there’s to go straight down
There’s no bathroom, and there is no sink
The water out of the tap is very

Hard to drink
Very hard to drink

You, wait til tomorrow
You, wait til tomorrow

You say that money, isn’t everything
But I’d like to see you live without it
You think you can keep on going living like a king
Ooh babe, but I strongly doubt it

Very hard to drink

Ginger Kombucha and an IUD, please.

And a side if methadone for the Full Marinovich.

An IUD is what you get when Steve Keim looks at his court paperwork upside down.

There are no good NYT opinion editors or writers.

I don’t trust Crooked Media dogs any more that their owners, and I will never trust those cretins.

I’m quite proud to be able to say, honestly, I have never and would never watch “Young Sheldon”.

I want to punch adult Sheldon, actually.

The BET spinoff “Yung Shelldunn” about his brief rap career is actually pretty good.

oh, did everyone else not get their first choice of available head coaching candidates? What a pity! 😀

Somewhere in this great land of ours, someone is currently excited that “Young Sheldon” is gonna be on in a while.

That terrifies me.

You’re thinking of his enabler. Good ol’ Jerry is getting rhythmically slapped in the showers at State Pen.

I’ve heard two names, both not named Hue Jackson. Responsible for the Chiefs or Rams offense, plus Jarod Goff’s development. I’ll take it!

Local paper’s reporting it. Looks legit.

herodotus450

Eric Bieniemy played for the Bengals as a RB back in the day, I believe. So he can’t even claim ignorance about Mike Brown’s incompetence.

Redshirt

He did. 1995-1998. He was the Change of Pace RB for Harold Green, Garrison Hearst and Corey Dillon.

That’s why I’d be shocked if he goes to Cincy. I’m hoping they had Katie Brown-Blackburn and her husband do the interview as a way to say “Don’t worry about Brown. He’ll be dead soon.”

WCS

You’re not that lucky.
