NFL Nuggets:
- Franchise tag update:
- The first application – the 49ers, on Robbie Gould.
- As discussed yesterday, the tag is $5 million for kickers, relatively cheap compared to $23 million for QBs & $16 million for running backs.
- Gould has made 72 of 75 field goals since joining San Francisco in 2017.
- They have until July 15 to work out a long-term deal.
- I doubt a kicker would go the Le’Veon Bell route.
- They have until July 15 to work out a long-term deal.
- The first application – the 49ers, on Robbie Gould.
- It’ll be the Oakland Raiders for 2019, with an option for 2020.
- Given the other news of the week I don’t think nfl.com meant to phrase their reaction this way:
- “The deal ensures somewhat of a happy ending and a chance for Raiders fans to bid farewell before the Raiders leave for good.”
- Given the other news of the week I don’t think nfl.com meant to phrase their reaction this way:
- Someone is suing the AAF claiming the idea for the league was his.
- Robert Vanech, the co-founder and current CFO of Trebel Music, said he had a “handshake agreement” with Charlie Ebersol about founding the new league.
- Further, he claims most of Bill Polian’s ideas for fan engagement also came from him.
- The lawsuit is allegedly about the direction Ebersol went in after a failed meeting with Vince McMahon to try & buy the rights to the name “XFL”.
- Vanech claims he had a handshake deal to be brought in as a 50% investor, but that Ebersol broke their agreement and went in the Polian direction instead.
- You legal types can read the entire 92-page filing here.
- Robert Vanech, the co-founder and current CFO of Trebel Music, said he had a “handshake agreement” with Charlie Ebersol about founding the new league.
- The Ravens have cut Michael Crabtree weeks before he was due a $2.5 million salary bonus.
- He was also due $7.5 million base salary in the second year of a three year contract.
- Salary cap math dictates this frees up $4.667 million in cap room for 2019.
- This gives people the impression the Ravens will use a couple of picks on the wide receiver position, ones that will compliment Lamar Jackson.
- The No Fun League is threatening a return, by targeting “excessive participation” in TD celebrations.
- They are looking into an amendment to the celebration rule that will prevent players leaving the bench to join in the follies.
- Anyone leaving the bench beyond the 11 on the field at the time of the score would be subject to a 15-yard penalty.
Finally, Randy Gregory has received
his fourth suspension for violating the league’s substance abuse policy.
- In addition to violating the terms of his reinstatement after his third suspension, where he was out for a whole season.
- As nfl.com notes, in four years in the league, Gregory has been suspended for more games (30) than he’s played (28).

I get to sleep at home threw nights this week!
Ban cameras!
Then no more replay reviews and life can be good again.
Cancel this game. I’ve seen enough missed shots and free throws in these overtimes to last an entire month.
And, as always, fuck these terrible refs.
In case it gets missed being on the bracket page.

WHAT A MONSTER
Was Gaetz auditioning to be the new Cohen by threatening Cohen?
Gaetz and Nunes are really neck-and-neck for most punchable congressdick.
Those two & Linz HAVE to be compromised, right?
I mean, if not, then what the everloving fuck?
BECAUSE THEY ARE FUCKING SCUM!
Jesus Christ. This isn’t particle physics. They’re shitty people in a shitty party. They don’t give a fuck about you or me or anyone but themselves and how they can use their position to benefit themselves. In this case, kissing Trump’s ass benefits them when 90% of the GOP supports him and approves of his job performance. This is keeping them employed, rich, and in political favor with everyone who matters.
PUNCHABLE CONGRESSPERSONS LIST!! WOOT WOOT!
I’ll take Louis Gohmert.
he’s apparently considered the dumbest even amongst the mouth-breathers
We can only choose one?!
he wants to hold the Fuhrer’s balls while he shaves
Just ask Matthew Gaetz to down five shots of, most likely, Sex on the Beach, then down three Bud Light Limes, and then drive his SUV to test it’s “sobriety testing.”
Speaking of Hitler, do you think anyone ever went through the rubble and ejaculated into the eye cavity of the skull? Because that seems important.
Russians supposedly burned* the corpse.
*But we all know they took it back to SIberia and tried to clone him into mechahitler but all they got was Gorbachev**
**Where do you think the birthmark came from?
teh pieces FIT
can I get the Hitler jism on teh side?
Just a horrifying concept of food, though, a terrific scene.
His last meal
Still not worth it.
That would be wrong. Unless it was a Jewish man who cleans himself with Mein Kampf when he’s done.
I have a fucking GREAT idea that’s gonna win an AVN award next year.,..
TO THE TYPEWRITER WITH THE KEYS THAT STICK!
Please don’t. I already have a lot to answer for in my Final Judgment. Busting a nut to Hitler may be the final grain of sand that sends my ass to Hell to burn for Eternity.
I’m hoping that God skips my list of wretchedness just because it would take too long.
My hope:
God: “Did he eat a puppy?”
St. Peter: “Our records doesn’t say so.”
God: “Are we sure?”
Jesus: “I can vouch for him, Dad. He didn’t eat a puppy.”
God: “Send him to 10000 years of cleaning up the dog poop at the Rainbow Bridge. If we can’t find proof he ate a puppy by then, let him in.”
Fucking Winnipeg…
“When the Conservatives were in I cannot tell you how much I hated them. But I realise how shallow I am because I now hate the Labour Party as much.”
I suddenly have a newfound respect for the Fourth Doctor.
Not that I really understand British politics much, but if my choices are Teresa May and that Corbyn weirdo. I’d probably vote Lib Dem.
/or maybe whatever Anarchist party Nigel from The Young Ones was in
//the name is probably wrong, was like 35 goddamned years ago
Alls I know is Teresa May is pretty worthless, but Corbyn is Trumpesque.
Yeah, the avowed Socialist who got arrested protesting Apartheid in the 1980s is so much like Trump.
WTF are you
areall smoking, and where can I get some in edible form?I’m going to be honest: I was absolutely expecting that to be Nigel Farage, who is a fascist cunt.
Four steps? You took a shower today?
his feet move a lot when he self-abuses?
“Wow. Your Apple Watch says you ran a seven minute mile! How’d you do it?”
“Practice. Lots and lot of practice.”
I used to have a FitBit that I clipped to the pocket of my shorts, and sometimes it would go through the washer and dryer. It always survived, and I’d get credit for climbing like a hundred stair cases.
that’s even better than clipping it to a tweaker
POINT seven-minute mile.
H used the toilet rather than just pee in the pot he carries around.
don’t we all use piss jugs like Ray now?
Today’s carpeting is surprisingly absorbent.
Some of us don’t have the aim to hit a bucket.
It’s a FitBit Charge2 wrist device sitting on my desk. I think I moved it.
4 steps for Brick, 4 zetabytes of personal data for FitBit
I only wear it when I exercise, which is apparently never. Mine even records heart rate, and that’s the data they really want that they can pair with the microphone data from your Alexa so they know what ads you were listening to or watching that got you all excited.
I self judge enough that I don’t need technology to tell me I’m a fat, sedentary piece of shit.
Maybe you believe (like Trump) that humans have a finite usable amount of energy over their lifetimes, so any exercise depletes that reserve and results in a shorter lifespan. If that’s the case, huzzah!!!
If I really wanted to go for the joke here I’d say “But goddamit I’m in a fucking wheelchair!”
But that would be awful so I won’t.
Then why did you build a ramp on your porch?
(Then why did I have the bowl, Bart???)
So that’s why your repetitive forearm motion numbers are in the tens of thousands.
I am excite for tomorrow, because my $1,050 in fake moneys will be able to be xferred to my 5dimes account.

/really, truly, I have nothing left in this world to live for
Absolutely nothing makes sense in the NHL’s Eastern Conference, other than the Lightening will inevitably be another President’s Trophy winner to flame-out in the playoffs.
Take the west’s wildcard spots away imo
To echo what redshirt said, detective pikachu looks dope as hell.
And no coincidence, they have my favorite and officially most badass pokemon of all time:
MUTHA
FUCKING
MEWTWO!!!!
Better than the Pokemon #metoo
Goddamn, the Red Wings are getting fucking murked out there. I hope they’re bad forever.
Sweet merciful crap, 8-1!? Almost as bad as the Sens…
Downer comment. If you don’t want to be depressed…ignore.
I got customers coming in for training next week. The manager in charge of the project is MIA. Usually he is really good. I can’t find him till today. I corner him in his cubical.
“Kevin…where the hell have you been. You MIA mother…okay…let’s go outside”
He had the look. I stopped immediately giving him shit because right away, I wasn’t getting the response I was expecting. I saw the look I saw in people when I was a contractor for the Army…post enlisted in the navy. I had boots in bad places. Kevin had that look of someone in the shit. The look of someone barely holding it together.
We go outside. He opens up. He has three kids sweet, great kids I have met. His 12 year old, the youngest, he had to put her into a rehab center for anorexia. He opens up how yesterday, the docs interviewed him and his wife independently to asks if he had be sexually abusing his daughter.
I don’t know how a parent fields that question without throwing a punch. Kevin is a better person than me because in his place, I would have gotten arrested.
I hug a grown man today. I can’t imagine what he is going through. So I am getting scary drunk on whatever day of the week it is…because I hate the world. A kid and a family should never had to go through this.
I swear, this is the last depressing comment from me on this thread. I just kind of need to unload and I apologize.
Hey man, don’t apologize. You were there for him, and everyone (parents, rehab docs, etc.) is trying to do the right thing for this little girl. With any luck, she’ll beat this and everyone will be stronger for it.
But yeah, go ahead and drink. It’s that time.
Hey man, No need to apologize. Be glad you were there for him, and we’re all here for you. Vent away.
The correct answer to that question is:
“I am not, but I appreciate that you are protective of my child. But I must warn you that if you ask me that question again, I will expose your vital organs to daylight.”
That doc has some kind of balls, though I get why he/she had to ask. That said, that’s a world of shit to put on someone, regardless.
Nothing to worry about, bro. That’s far too much to have to absorb for anyone.
I dated a woman for a while, we are still friends, who is a juvenile oncology nurse.
Holy shit how she could do that I never understood.
Many moons ago, our newborn spent two weeks in a children’s hospital oncology ward (no cancer, just a weird condition that turned out ok, she’s fine, etc); one day, a cute little girl came into the room and asked if the baby was okay. We talked to her for a minute, then her dad called from the hall and she left the room. The nurse said quietly, “Poor thing – the cerebral palsy is hard, but the tumor on her kidney is what’s really the issue now.” Not saying I became an atheist right then, but it gave me a bit of a shove.
They have to. When I was a Day Care Teacher, I was taught how to see signs of a sexually abused child.
A part of me died that day.
I didn’t even like having to go through mandatory reporter training. That must’ve been unbearable.
You’re a good man, JSD.
If they bleed, then we can kill them.
They also make good rockets.
Or food for hungry pigs.
Fertilizer for plants.
They’re as useful as dead hookers, and more fun to flay.
“Oh my god, you killed a Nazi!”
“You mean a race realist!”
“No, Cyril. When they’re dead, they’re just Nazis.”
We really need to incorporate Mr. Wu’s pigs into modern-day, actual real life.
You knew who else shot Hitler? That’s right. Hitler.
Philly needs fucking 95 points to even have a 50% chance at the ‘yoffs. What even is this year?
1) So you’re saying there’s a chance?
2) Damn. When did they move to Cleveland?
I ran across a fan page for a model who quit ten years ago and it’s so comprehensive that everything about it just makes me feel gross. I wish it was because it seems obsessive, but who was the one binging retired models anyway? I’m gross.
You use Bing???
Fucking weird-ass perv.
It’s the best search engine for porn.
lol Blue Jackets are gonna drop from 3rd in the division to 9th in the conference tonight
Jacon Wohl has been suspended from twitter for running multiple fake accounts.
Is that what happened to OSZ? Did he get in trouble for for what NSZ told us about the NFL mines in the future?

Guys, something is seriously wrong with me, because “Detective Pikachu” is starting to grow on me. Help!
Using a loofah when you shower should help.
I would try to talk you down, but since my brother is a producer on said spectacle I’m obligated to encourage you to keep pursuing this jones.
Tell Beerguybro we said “Good luck”!
Do you have any idea how incredible it is to see all of these fuzzy CGI characters in a full-length movie? I can still remember when hairs had to be drawn particle by fucking particle. Monsters, Inc. was a fucking watershed moment for animation given that at one point it would’ve taken about 50 years to draw and render Sully in that level of detail.
So, yes, I understand.
Not only the furry ‘mons, but everything. Charizard, Bulbasaur, Mewtwo. They all looked real.
is it weird that I kind of want to watch this Michael Cohen public congressional testimony tomorrow?
No. A vested interest in the nations well being is perfectly normal
There’s gonna be hooker talk. It’d be weird if you didn’t.
Abortions.
Stop – I can only get so erect.
Don’t worry. Once the Democrats take control, you’ll have all the Abortions For Wants you want.
(takes bite out of beer bottle)
I doubt there will be anything interesting.
Flyers desperately want that 17th draft pick
Why is beef shoulder called chuck, but pork shoulder is called butt? What a country!
As always……
Fuck Christian Laettner!!!
LOL!
Abortions for the rich!
Mandatory abortions! If we’re gonna kill the Earth, why put another life onto a doomed planet?
I’m all for aborting everyone worth over $10 million no matter what trimester.
President Xi, please end this fucking nightmare already.
found a funny:
date: if you won the lottery what’s the first thing you’d buy
me: (say something normal) milk
HA ANOTHER FIGHT!!!!
cool!
HA!!! FIGHT!!!!
Evaneder kane aint takin shit….
GODDDDD DAMMMIT!!!!
4-1 bruins
Live Shot of San Jose:
Vince McMahon just screwed over a black man during Black History Month from a once-in-his-life chance to put over a white man. Not to be outdone, tomorrow the GOP is going to propose to repeal the 13th Amendment because “it was passed with massive government overreach”.
Damnit…. now 3-1
Not good for sharks
We’re gonna need a bigger [power play]
Shit. that was a hell of a shot by McAvoy.
bruins up 2-1
You watching a hockey game or Tin Cup?
Cuse is playing the University of Always Cheating North Carolina and I don’t get the game. The ACCNetwork is the fuckbastardshitmonkeycarwreckemptyballspancreaticcancercheatingpartnerlitebeermortgagedenyingslowdrivernetwork of all-time.
Panguins up 2-0 early on the Columbus West Senators. They tried to wobble Chad Ruhwedel but he wouldn’t fall down, and assisted on the second goal.
Don’t even know the name of the Blue Jackets GM. What I do know? He pretended to burn a copy of the copy of Pierre Dorion’s dick pics. Next year Thomas Chabot is traded to Columbus for a spare net.
It’s something like Jarmo Kekalienen. Between him and Cheveldayoff you got enough letters to make a third GM and/or invade Ukraine.
“Invade Ukraine, huh? Wait’ll they get a load of me!”
