Your “It’s On Every Channel” Wednesday Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

• Crimebeat! Hall of Fame member Adam “Pacman” Jones was arrested on charges of public intoxication, disorderly conduct and intimidation early Wednesday morning at the Rising Sun Casino in Indiana.
  • The initial allegation was cheating at a table, and when he was detained for that police discovered he had an out-of-county warrant.

• The Bears have made it official – they are releasing the Crown Prince of DOINK!, Cody Parkey.
  • Despite Robbie Gould, their preferred replacement, having been franchise tagged by the 49ers.
  • I look forward to Pete Carroll talking about what a good young man he is, and how he’ll be an asset to the team.

• Not to be outdone, the Eagles announced they won’t be tagging Nick Foles, so he’ll be allowed to hit the open market.
  • So far, only Jacksonville is known to be interested – especially since Denver signed Joe Flacco.

Finally, no one seems to know exactly why the CFL forced the Alouettes to release Johnny Manziel, nor why they also took steps to ban him from the league.

• All that’s being said is that he “contravened the agreement which made him eligible to play.”
  • When asked for clarification, the league commissioner Randy Ambroise offered a statement that,
    • “Those conditions have been violated and we feel it’s best, and Montreal feels its best, to let Johnny move on. And we think it’s best for our league that he do the same. And we wish him well.”
• Although proffered, no one is suggesting he broke those rules in order to become eligible to play in the AAF or XFL.
  • Manziel was due a $75,000 bonus March 1 and scheduled to earn a $202,000 base salary in 2019.

Jesus – that Cohen hearing. Between Democrats furiously trying not to masturbate while asking questions,

to Republicans having rage strokes & forgetting the words on their scripts,

no wonder Trump finally went to Vietnam.
