Your “Failing To Plan Is Planning To Fail” Thursday Evening Open Thread

The district was short people this morning, so I got called in. Apologies for the haphazard presentation, but earning extra Spring Break drinking money will always take priority.


NFL Nuggets:

  • As expected, Blake Bortles & his lifetime 24-49 record were released by the Jags Tuesday evening.
    • He’s sure to latch on as a backup somewhere, assuming the role of “smirking bastard” Chad Henne had behind him.

 

  • Proving it’s a new era in Baltimore, Lamar Jackson Instagrammed himself (since deleted) doing 105 mph in his car while also not wearing a seatbelt.
    • But don’t worry – after a stern talking to – he’s totes recognized the error of his ways.

  • The Saints restructured Drew Brees’ contract to push more of his guaranteed money into future years.
    • They pushed $20 million of his contract into 2020, in order to free up $10.8 million in cap space for 2019.
      • It’s not Bobby Bonilla getting paid $1.2 million per year until 2035, but it’s a sizable chunk staring them down when they eventually rebuild without Brees.
  • KJ Wright is staying in Seattle, making Beastmode & I very happy.
    • Unlike our failed marriage.
    • It’s 2 years totaling $15 million.
  • Seattle also signed kicker Jason Myers away from the Jets.
    • Four years & $15.5 million should provide some stability to a part of the Hawks lineup that used to be automatic.
  • The Raiders released Jordy Nelson & AJ McCarron.
    • Nelson because his salary ran up against the cap room they needed for Antonio Brown.
    • McCarron because they don’t want his wife anywhere near Brent Musburger when they move to Las Vegas.

Finally, the Giants have found Eli a new target in Golden Tate, who’s now in the Meadowlands for four years.

  • Let’s see how Giants fans are reacting to both decisions:

Teddy's Bridge Over Troubled Water

Playing my first ever Call of Duty game since I got it free with my PS+ subscription. So far I give it 7/10. Only playing the campaign though. I don’t need to be called the n-word by angry 14 year olds.

Update: I continued to make general small talk to the woman. After I offer to take her Tim Hortons cup away and throw it in the trash, he said something to me in Filipino and stormed off. (Just a reminder, I have a Buddha belly, am balding and making the most general conversation ever). Then when he returned I called him by his wrong name and have not seen him since. What a psychopath.

Anyway, my boss went home, which means I can finally leave.

I give this experience 3.5/5 stars

SonOfSpam

You should’ve said to her, “Hey, when you leave, mind if I tagalog?”

That’s gettin you the Manila Vanila for sure*

*I don’t think that’s a thing, but I’ve had enough beer to where it’s funny to me

Wakezilla

That’s actually pretty funny

SonOfSpam

Ah, you’re drinking too. Excellent.

Fronkenshteen

Jets fan here. Watched a 25 minute YouTube video of Le’Veon Bell career highlights with a hand in my pants. Think he has any wheels left? Or are we looking at Santonio Holmes part deux?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Yes.

Fronkenshteen

Poop. Hooray?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

He is out of shape after all this time, but if he gets back into form he would be very dynamic.

Fronkenshteen

He ran AMAZING pass routes with Pittsburgh (under Todd Haley?). That HAS to be good for Darnold, right?! O Christ let this work!!!

ballsofsteelandfury

Only if Darnold has time to throw. See my other comment about the O line. Basically, star players cannot shine if the line is a turnstile.

Fronkenshteen

Jets ran ok some last year. Crowell broke some huge runs. Longer than Jet fans are used to since Leon stopped running back our kicks. I like Woody’s brother better than him. Imagine that! A positive byproduct of the Trump Administration.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Make sure and discount that fucking Broncos game.

Gase SHOULD be able to use him to good affect, but no guarantees on that.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

They is what he is there for; a great safety valve when Sammy gets quick pressure.

Wakezilla

Man, Darnold made a banged up Miami Dolphins defense look like the ’72 No Name Defense.

The o-line wasn’t the issue

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Rookies do that.

Sounds like you were ringing your bell so often, nearby Catholics thought it was time for mass

Wakezilla

But seriously, if you like German porn where 8 muscular men forcefully stuff a box, you’re going to love the Jets run game this year.

blaxabbath

The Jets often seem to have a pretty solid run game.

I’m sorry — typo….

The Jets often seem to squander a pretty solid run game.

ballsofsteelandfury

The problem that will happen is that Le’Veon is used to having time behind the line of scrimmage to select a hole and drive through it.

The Jets’ O-line is not exactly a powerhouse. He may not have the time and then people will question if he’s lost a step. It won’t be the step, it will be the fact his line can’t hold the holes open as long as before.

PHRASING.

Fronkenshteen

They HAVE to take a monstrous OL in the first round, right?

ballsofsteelandfury

Yes, i’d say so. Otherwise, they’re throwing money away…

Then again, this is the Jets we’re talking about…

Teddy's Bridge Over Troubled Water

I think if his conditioning is right he’ll have a decent year and catch a shit-ton of passes. I’d be worried about him tearing something due to lack of game shape any given week though.

PS. Sorry about Anthony Barr friend.

Fronkenshteen

Yeah. That one hurt my dead feelings. Like when a MMA fighter gets knocked out cold, and still has to endure 3 or 4 head shots before the ref can stop the fight. That’s the sensation of being a ny Jets fan.

Teddy's Bridge Over Troubled Water

There’s plenty of Vikes fans that are mad he’s back cause he’s never really been a playmaker though (broken collarbone aside). He gobbles up snaps in the middle of the field but that’s about it. Sounds like he might rush the edge more now but we’ll see. You may have dodged a bullet. Time will tell.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

He is the type of quick cut back that can make up for some poor o-line play. Shitsburgh had a lot of injuries several times during his stay and he was still very productive.

ballsofsteelandfury

Actually, the entire line, backups included, improved greatly when Munchak was there, which coincided with Bell’s stay. Before that, it was a garbage fire.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

True, Munch is probably the best OL coach around, but backups are backups for a reason. Bell is a very versatile back who is athletic and great in all aspects of the RB game.

Brick Meathook

Darnold got into USC because his parents bribed some guy to convince the school that he was a quarterback.

At this point, I gotta just keep talking to this woman and act somewhat charming in order to set this guy off now, right? He’s kind of asking for it

Tomorrow we’re playing at either 9 or 9:30 EDT. I’m terrified of the game tomorrow. Also, commitment and spiders.

King Hippo

that was the only thing I did right as a husband – she was terrified of spiders, and I would gladly squash with my shoe, or even a paper towel. No problem.

Wasps and snakes, though…I damn near faint

SonOfSpam

I don’t FEAR spiders, like more than usual, but I don’t like them, especially since they love my blood or whatever. I’m a spider magnet. (Yes, I found Tobey Maguire on my cock late one night. It was awkward.)

I don’t like Wasps either, especially if they drive BMWs.

When in Rome……

Wakezilla

So, I logged into twitter and saw Sid Sexiero trending. After clicking on his name, I saw people around the world mocking him. When discussing about who is the goat, Portugese Ronaldo and Messi, he said Messi is a fraud, over-rated and mediocre in international play because he has never won an international trophy, therefore he can never be considered the GOAT. Then he said Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest because he played with no one. Because if there’s one thing we know, is that fucking Real Madrid, Manchester United and now Juventus are known for having shit players. He also at one point confused the Ronaldos and now my brain hurts and I never want to hear of Tim and Sid ever again.

Holy fuck!

Question: Isn’t Zeitler a good o-lineman? Him, plus Peppers and a first round pick that pans out could be a massive steal for the Giants. I didn’t realize the Browns gave up so much.

Near as I can figure, Gettleman is transitioning the team into a run-first, Strong D type of team and most Jizziants fans just don’t get it. Most on-line fans are wallowing in self-pity and manifesting it as outrage. They be crying for a qb to be drafted in the 1st but I don’t think it’s going to happen. O-line and difference-maker on D is the way I think he’s going to go in the first round.

he loves them “hog mollies” as Gettleman puts it.

He seems to have overpaid for a chain-mover wr. His drafting/free agent signing history sure don’t involve a game-breaker at wr. He’s a win in the trenches 71(?) year old, anti-analytics kinda fella.

To be fair, giving up comes second nature to the Browns.

Just remember, after they traded for Hershel Walker, many people thought the Vikings won the trade at first.
