NFL News:
- Franchise tag update:
- The Texans have tagged Jadeveon Clowney.
- The difficulty lies in how to clarify his “tag”, since he is listed as “DE/OLB”. The defensive end tag sits at $17.128 million for one year. The linebacker tender is worth $15.443 million.
- The Texans have tagged Jadeveon Clowney.
- Early Combine reports are that the Cardinals will draft Kyler Murray & trade Josh Rosen.
- They are hopeful they can get a third-round pick for Rosen in exchange, which will make up for the third- and fifth-round picks they gave to Oakland last year to move up to #10.
- There is always the chance that he goes to the Pats for a 7th-rounder, gets converted to special teams, and then becomes the next Steve Tasker.
- Another Combine rumour is that Roger Goodell might go around the Competition Committee and force them to bring in some kind of change to the replay rules.
- Florio says it’ll be something along the lines of the AAF’s Sky Judge, which is receiving near-universal acclaim for keeping calls honest.
- All signs point to the Jags winning the Nick Foles sweepstakes when free agency opens next Wednesday.
- It will cost the Jags $6.5 million to let Blake Bortles go, as that amount was fully guaranteed for 2019.
- The latest Todd Gurley rumour is arthritis in the left knee.
- They are apparently considering stem cell treatments, because traditional methods don’t seem to be alleviating the problem.
- This is a huge cap problem for the Rams, as on March 16 he becomes locked in for $34 million against it until 2022.
Finally, our old friend Dave Rappoccio has the appropriate take on Jason Witten going back to the Cowboys.

If you’re not following her, someone who is also very good at Twitter right now is Becky Lynch from WWE Smackdown. She’s resting injuries, so they’ve got her running this gamut of being screwed over by Vince McMahon in favour of Charlotte Flair and interfering in Ronda Rousey matches, all building to a three-way dance headlining Wrestlemania.
To build her brand, she’s been throttling her colleagues on Twitter.

Most recently, they had her “arrested” at RAW,
which has been turned into marketable merch,
and another “incident” she’s spun that into gold as well.

She’s one of the few reasons Redshirt & I still occasionally meet over at The Old Place.

Big Daddy Drew has been on another of his anti-mayo rants again. GET ON IT, PEOPLE!
If you need a good power wash from propaganda watch Dark Tourist the episode called The Stans on Netflix. It’s a perfect study on how intelligence and the advancement in the human species far surpasses our political bullshit. We’ve been doing positive advances in science and knowledge for years with the help of the Russians, the Chinese and any country who cares about moving this stupid human race forward. It’s not about geopolitical struggle or ideology it’s about science.
We’ve got to get past the blinders of propaganda and god knows we’ve created a fucking cottage industry of that shit.
Fuck you Fox news.
Dave can afford to have a backyard in Portland?
Don’t wanna sway the votes one way or the other, but one of the polls for today has been going back and forth, so if you haven’t done it, vote. Your single vote might actually mean something!
Don’t listen to Comrade Veasel. He know not what he say.
Wow. A Democrat who doesn’t want to run for President?
https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/04/politics/hillary-clinton-2020/index.html
And Hillary of all people?
Can you blame her?
So 19 > 7.
Congrats on the Tech gamblors tonite!
Double it tomorrow on…I dunno, something.
Gotta look at the lines.
Plan to build it to $10k by end of March, then party like a motherfucker in June in SoCal.
There is no possible way you can lose.
Unless you listen to me (tonight notwithstanding)
A little over $5500 in the acct now.
Be happy to help, but keep in mind I may be no help.
Stupid GAMBLOR tricks?
Left
Then right
Why can’t it be both?
Definitely left.
I’m not entirely sure why I’m still watching The Walking Dead in general, but I will say that watching it while eating leftover ribs definitely adds a level of interactiveness that I wasn’t expecting.
Alpha thinks you’re awesome.
Also, home buying. Is this a good time? A bad time? I live in Virginia if that informs your answer.
Sounds like you need to talk to Duchess.
Might wait a year for depressing crash? Yeah, talk to someone un-clueless.
Hello smart people. Coal, Oil, Natural Gas. Green New Deal. I’ve heard the idiots shrieking at the margins of both arguments. What are your thoughts? Any good links to trustworthy literature appreciated.
No links, just buzzed liberal. Obviously need to go green for climate. Already being done. Oil ain’t dying any time soon, so people shitting on the green stuff are afraid of financial something. We can endeavor to get greener without being stupid. Absolutely no one is suggesting we trade planes for bicycles.
Oh wait…you said “smart people” so please disregard
Natural gas seems like it will be cheap for a long time still, barring a carbon credit/tax.
I have just one word for you, are you ready? ATOMIC POWER
(please no spoilers East Coast people)
FUCK YEAH KEN JENNINGS FUCK EM UP!!!

He is my hero.
I was on about a year before him, and I am very happy I didn’t encounter him.
Torrie Wilson going into the Hall of Fame
My last shot at #HAILGAMBLOR is Alianza Petrolera of the Colombian league. It’s now like 10 minutes past when the half should be over, and I’m guessing…Civil War?
never mind, here we go. VIVA!!
Prolly the refs doing a more complicated coke deal than anticipated.
and Petrolera takes a 2-1 lead!
GOD BLESS COCAINE
I mean, duh.
The timing of Johnny Manziel’s expulsion from Canada and the whole SNC-Lavalin thing is a little too coincidental, don’t you think? If anyone knows Harvey Weinstein let him know I got a script cooking here.
Throw in a down-on-his-luck private eye and you’ve got yourself a movie: The Last Boy Scoot.
Nice brand synergy: Currently drinking a Fat Tire Ale while also having a fat tire around my waist.
Raw currently doing a segment with the current Weekend Update duo who are probably the two least funny TV personalities at the moment
That’s what makes them good Weekend Update commentator: good enough to make jokes, but not enough to remember them.
It sadly what prevents them from reaching the upper echelon of Update commentators.
Sorry Twbs, I too bet on Guns Up. My apologies for our loss.
We be a’ight.
Probably.
The line just moved to 8.5.
holy shit.
Where you at? -7?
(The line moved because people saw my support for Tech)
Yup. $200 on TT -7.
But why did the line jump that much just before tip?
Someone needs to go check on Scotchy.
Syracuse sucks worse than I thought.
I forgot how awesomely dark The Big Short is.
I’m putting two bills down on the Red Raiders. If they beat the spread, I’ll have $5500 in the acct. If they don’t, I’ll still have a cool $5k. Either way, I’ll get my check in August probably. LOL.
GUNS UP!!!!!
Sup
Goddamn, I forgot Fox News went on a whole anti-Mr. Rogers campaign. The sheer amount of evil shit you’d have to pull to make that be something insignificant enough that people forget is staggering.
Wait…really? (I mean, shouldn’t be shocked, just don’t remember that)
I think insulting Mr. Rogers on 4chan is still a instant perma-ban.
Some things are too fucked up even for them.

The true loss of today. (j/k who cares) (j/k RIP Sideshow Luke Perry)
I didn’t don’t listen to a lot of EDM music but I fucking loved them.
Yeah, for what they were (which is I think what you’re saying?) they were excellent.
Yep, music to run through a wall too. Drugs or no drugs. Drugs preferable tho!

I’ve travelled all the way from 2003 to tell you all this: I can’t tell Franz Ferdinand and Modest Mouse apart, and I don’t like either of them.
/Oh they’re also band names?
LOL. I have also previously had that same thought.
Wait, they had more than one song each?
No. Only one each. And they’re kinda the same.
(Float On >>> Take Me Out)
Take Me Out is Franz Ferdinand because assassination jokes!
I will NAWT have the genius Modest Mouse slandered this way:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nH1OZe98J5U
I’d have gone with Third Planet, but otherwise you’re goddamned right.
tracks 1, 2, 3 on that album are all amazeballs. Incredible start to an album, punch, kick, slap to the genitals
I involuntarily did the whole song
Pishposh! Modest Mouse is good!
I don’t even like ’em in the same SENTENCE with Franz Ferdinand, the most generic of generic late 90s rock
You Could Have It So Much Better is an incredible album because of how fucking AMAZING it is.
So there. Now excuse me; I was in mid-seethe about crap.
Agreed. The man on the island is bang on here.
If you find 2003 me, tell him to punch Jeff in the face and run. He’s know what I mean when it happens to me.
I think I’m gonna drop some coin on TxTech tonight -7.
What say you Hippo?
I don’t know what Hippo sez, but Beerguy sez maybe go back to the gymnastics.
“…if you have an erection lasting for more than four hours….”
Sorry, commercial is on.
I’m glad I didn’t bet ‘Cuse to cover. Almost did.
DO THE BET. Red Raiders gonna curbstomp the Horns.
UVa/Cuse line was +6.5. They’re down by 15 now.
Whew.
Yeah, glad you didn’t. UVa is really really good unless Coach K/Refs is the opponent.
Indeed they are. But they don’t usually score like this. They usually do it on D.
I dodged a bullet.
“Damn, you’re pretty quick!”
– J. Seau
(But for reals, like the Red Raiders 2nite)
I have been abstaining hoopsball, and I never advocate betting the spread (only ML)
College Gymnastics is on.
I should not be watching this.
You are just creepy for watching college gymnastics. Olympic gymnastics is the criminal one.
Seriously, this girl from UCLA doing the floor routine looks like she smoked too much meth.
She did stick the landing though.
Oklahoma on the balance beam now.
There’s a joke there.
OK, there’s gotta be some hockey on somewhere, before I schedule surgery to cut off my penis.
I’ve had a really difficult coupla months. You assholes have kept me sane.
Well, mostly sane.
Wellllll…..as close to sane as I ever have been.
Well, not batshit insane.
Ok just barely batshit insane.
OK fine, I haven’t (yet) gone on a murder spree thanks to you fucknuts.
Thanks?

I like reading Spring Training box scores; for example, today I learned the White Sox have a third baseman named Mendick.
How did he manage not to get snagged by Man City’s academy?
They already have a Chapdong.
I had a chapped dong once.
It really made jerking off painful.
No pain, no veinchowder
Hehehe
Bet he’s glad he doesn’t play for the Yanquis cause he’d have to shave a lot more often.
Watching the Mr. Rogers doc with the boy, and we got to his testimony at the senate hearing testimony, and my newly cynical, spitefully independent idgaf Large Adult 11 Year Old Son just burst into tears, and I’m torn between being touched and openly taunting him for not being as tough as he likes to think he is
TRUE HIPPO FACT! Mister Rogers was mah undergrad Commencement speaker (at NC State)
In order to reach the Wolfpack grads, he did the whole speech as Henrietta Pussycat.
“HA WHAT A PUSSY NO WONDER I GET TO FUCK YOUR MOTHER” is definitely something you should say to your son.
sir, I likes how you parent!
How do you manage to have a shitty NHL teevee deal in Canadia of all places? That would be like if televangelists were all blacked out in The South.
I’d say sparing most of the country from watching the Leafos is a good deal.
Butalso, “Reginal (and regional) broadcast” covers like 90% of the population anyway.
The Leafs – Flames game is only available in southern Ontario and the three Prairie provinces. In Vancouver we get three hours of already-over poker tournaments.
thus Gary Bettman, regional disgrace eh?
found a funny:
ME: Alexa play Snoop Dogg
ALEXA: have you smoked any weed today
ME: what
ALEXA: the devil’s lettuce, have you partaken
ME: no
ALEXA: here’s some Maroon 5 instead bitch
It’s the penalty for not following Snoop’s advice. E’RYDAY MEANS E’RY DAY!
Today was the first time I listened to the lyrics of “Don’t You Want Me” by Human League. I never realized how dark the guy’s lyrics was:
But don’t forget it’s me
Who put you where you are now
And I can put you back down too
it’s like that uncomfortable moment when you realize Hey, the lead nerd (in Revenge of the Nerds) totally raped that girl!
Back then, women weren’t quite so mad about getting tongue-raped.
ppl DUE forget that!
Marty: “Okay. So right around 9:00, she’s gonna get very angry with me.”
George: “Why?”
Marty: “Why, what?”
George: “Why is she gonna get angry with you?”
Marty: “Well…because…well, nice girls get angry at guys who…who try to take advantage of ’em.”
…but.. Lorraine wouldn’t be involved in the plan…
Marty’s whole plan in “Back to the Future” was not only making out with his mother, but pretend to assault her?!
Marty’s whole plan was…kinda shaky.
This comment deserves more likes.
We knew how to treat bitches in the 80s (while wearing lots of eyeliner)
LMFAO, I was literally just on this road multiple times a few weeks ago.
COME ON RAVENS GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!!!!!!

He do sommet more than kill a guy? Because we know that ain’t enough.
DUI is my assumption. Nobody hurt as far as I can find.
But my hotel from about a month ago was on that road.
The incident was right up the street from Boyfucker Inn?
Hey, that’s pigfucker to you!!!!!

Best show by far in the McFarlane universe.
Agreed.
Luke Perry (top left with the shirt) cheering on his son, Jack/Jungle Boy, at a PWG show a month or so ago. I don’t know why this picture makes me so sad.
Wait here a minute now, is yeeewwwww sayin’ “Jungle Boy” ain’t even no Negro? – Jefferson Beauregard S., Lickspittle, AL
Also, not surprised to see that Fuckers du Cousins are so shit this season that God hisself turned his back on ’em
Guarantee the Patriots pick up Rosen and he becomes the next Brady.
