NFL News:
- The big, bland, elite news of the day is the Broncos agreeing to a trade for Joe Flacco.
- It won’t be official until March 13, the start of the league’s calendar year.
- If I understand the salary cap (Ron Howard voice: “He doesn’t”), trading Flacco only costs the Ravens $7.0 million against their cap, and with Lamar Jackson still on his rookie deal, they get out from under having to pay Flacco while being able to add tools elsewhere in the lineup.
- Case Keenum is guaranteed $7 million for 2019, and up to $18 million if he’s still on the roster opening day, so the Broncos have to dump him into a buyer’s market.
- It won’t be official until March 13, the start of the league’s calendar year.
The #Broncos will now shop QB Case Keenum, who is guaranteed $7M in 2019, I’m told. If they can’t, it’s either a massive paycut or a straight up release. He’d be a top backup.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) February 13, 2019
- Ian Rapoport was busy this morning, also speculating that the Steelers have until March 17 to trade Brown before salary bonuses start kicking in.
- Which doesn’t make sense, since yesterday the story was that the Steelers would be saddled with a $21 million cap hit if they move him before June.
- It seems like paying $2.5 million on March 17 would make more sense than absorbing a $21 million deduction from the 2019 roster, but what do I know?
- Which doesn’t make sense, since yesterday the story was that the Steelers would be saddled with a $21 million cap hit if they move him before June.
- The Haslams are quite upset with ESPN about the story last week discussing internal dysfunction and Jimmy’s hands-on role in it all.
- Upset to the point that they’ve cancelled a Flying-J ad contract with ESPN that had two years remaining & believed to be worth low-to-mid seven figures annually.
Tuesday was the first “snow day” in Vancouver in 10 years. “So,” asked no one in particular, “how did you spend your day, Beerguy?”
Well, I settled in for a movie marathon,
and in-between took the dogs out for walks in the snow, looking for shots that would make WineWife forget that I did zero chores.
At one point, Riga decided she’d had enough of Lambeau’s guff, and proceeded to give him what-for.
After dinner, we settled in to watch the Westminster Dog Show,
and by the end of the day we were all pretty tired, so we went to bed early.
All told, a day well-spent.

You, sir, have a keen eye.

Man, I’m struggling with the reality of my dipshit countrymen going to bat for the South America genocide guy way more than I should be.
my dipshit countrymen going to bat for the South America genocide guy
You are going to have to be way more specific.
Whoa, startled me.
FUN FACT #1: Yvonne DeCarlo was a year older than Al Lewis, who played her father.
FUN FACT #2: Al Lewis had always lied about his age to make himself seem older.
I’m going to the DMV tomorrow for the first time since I passed my behind the wheel test at 16, and all set to get my REAL ID. I made my appointment back in December, and the earliest I could get an appointment was 4 days AFTER my license expired.
I’m bringing along:
Current passport
Original Social Security card
Current vehicle registration
Medical bill (as a back up)
$42 in cash AND a check made payable to “Department of Motor Vehicles”
Semen sample
Knife (as a deterrent)
Proof of sanity
Plenty of cigarettes for Patty and Selma
I think I’ve got this covered.

Proof of insurance?
Wasn’t on the checklist, but I’ve got that too.
OK, whew. It seems like they don’t really care about the rest, as long as Farmers covers your fuckups.
Aw SHIT. Mine’s Mercury…
May God have mercy on your soul.
It’s not too late to screw that chimpanzee.
It’s not worth being responsible for the next Donald Trump.
That pic of the GOOD BOY watching TV is fantastic.
presidential funny:
Happy birthday Abraham Lincoln who was perhaps best known for making the OOWAHAHAHA sound at the beginning of Down With the Sickness.
I laughed way harder at that than expected
My home province. Classy.
Happy timberwolves fans are happy! good win over Houston rockets going into the AllStar break.
Found the warriors vs blazers nba game stream on reddit. Cool!
The Brooklyn Nets win in a classic triple overtime game against the…you know what? It doesn’t matter who they beat. It was a sanctioned NBA game and I don’t have to defend their strength of schedule or margin of victory to you.
THIS IS A NETS HOUSE.
I’ve spent three hours watching this game. That is way too long to watch any basketball game. That’s like a five hour football game.
You are doing the Lord’s work.
Are you a damn netpicker?
Could have been worse. Could have been a 20 point win over the Knicks.
There should be double wins if you win by 30+. You get two wins. The other team gets two losses. You’d really start to see some intense games when somebody needs to pick up a few games in the standings.
This is good thinking. Also, as a veteran, I should get two votes in every Federal election.
No way; that’s how we got Trump.
I don’t agree with that. Don’t stereotype the average veteran, they’re mostly not what you think.
I was kidding about the double vote thing you big dummy.
NICE!

lololololol
But is 125-1 an ELITE number?
OK, that’s pretty funny.
Going from Keenum to Flacco is like finding a better JOI site.
/does NAWT look that up
No ones drives it like the owner. I don’t need to be yelled at.
Pull it over, Mister.
Judging from some of your recent comments you may need it.
So a life changer?
I went back to work today after taking a small vacation for my birthday, and my boss says “Oh I thought you were coming back tomorrow.”
You should’ve told him you only came in to steal some pens.
Sold out. I tried to get tickets; even had a presale code. No dice.
Sigh. Tonight sucks cause I’m starting a new workout regime where I’m not allowed to get hammered every other night anymore. One old-fashioned is all I get this evening.
What if that one drink was this?
Gahhhhhh!!!!!!! I HATE reading these case studies my teacher gave me for my marketing class about instances where brands were successful in building “Brand Awareness” and “engagement”.
It just feels so slimily, and mischievous, and uncomfortable…. eh…
Yooooo, Harbin beer is legit. Haven’t found it back home, only Tsingtao.

A marketer with scruples?! Have you considered…. Economics?
Hippo, I’d like to accuse your Pack of putting saran wrap on the Cuse rim but I know my Orange all too well.
Weird game between weird teams having weird seasons. WEIRD!
Storage Unit Show really stepped up their game, now there’s four things to look at in every episode.
Despair, Greed, Crass Opportunism… What’s the fourth one?
Any pic of Brandi Passante is worth three cartons of Pall Malls in Pelican Bay State Prison. I mean, that’s what my mom said repeatedly during our last conjugal visit.
You’ve provided plenty to unpack in that well-worn suitcase.
Wouldn’t that make it 5 things to be looking at?

“And now Pierre MaGuire’s interview with the coach…” will probably be the last words I hear before blowing my brains out some day.
Well, Other Hippo, looks like we’uns out of Vicuprofen!
Is that a German spaetzle like dish?
I love this shit. Like, I expect the Reagan era ghouls who crank it to the idea of dead children in US-backed coups to shrug off the responses pointing out specific human rights atrocities committed by their buddies, but how do these dumb motherfuckers sit there and watch the responses roll in and just think “nuh uh. he was a good dude, and that overrides doing a genocide.”
The first sentence of his war vulture org’s About Us page: “The senior leaders of the Georgetown Strategy Group have dedicated their lives to improve the human condition.”

My TV volume skips from 3 to 5. The perfect sound level? Four.

His uncle is till going to get me that money I promised him right? I did give him all my details.
There’s a thread over on BigBlueView (Giants fan site) that was yakking about the worst period of extended time when QB’s sucked. The time before Simms showed up, the time between Simms retirement and Eli starting were brought up and then someone mentioned the last six years under Eli.

found a funny:
[my dad is in the backyard motionless gazing off into the distance]
wife: what’s he doing
me: oh, there’s a long standing tradition in my family
her: what is it
me: i… just… told you?
That’s an old bartender’s trick; you send the new employee over to a different bar to get “the long stand”.
As a new dishwasher hire, I was asked to run over to another restaurant to get a ‘Bacon Stretcher”. I almost went. Like, ‘took off my apron and noticed a line cook smirking’ almost went.
Well, congrats on the new job anyway!
It don’t pay as well as lickin’ toilets but the food is better.

Your dogs are awesome. My Newfoundland also likes to watch DogTV whenever available. He’s never seen snow, and I should remedy that someday.

The ending of Punisher S2 was fantastic. Solid use of Alice in Chains and full on not giving a fuck.

The Live Tsunami Channel makes up for some shortcomings as far as coverage is concerned but I WANT TO WATCH MY CUSE!
Were Lambeau and Riga dismissive of the dogs in the Show?
If I was them, i’d be barking shit all day!
Lambeau thought he was preening too much, but that tends to happen when you still have your testicles.
