NFL News:
- The big rule change announced yesterday is that Pass Interference – calls & non-calls – will be reviewable.
- Coaches can challenge during the first 28 minutes of each half, and the booth will get the last two minutes.
- The coaches pushing hardest for the rule were Sean Payton, Jason Garrett, Andy Reid and (of course) Bill Belichick.
- It’s only a one-year trial, and the efficacy of the rule will be measured next offseason.
- Coaches can challenge during the first 28 minutes of each half, and the booth will get the last two minutes.
- The next round of threatened moves will come from Buffalo as they begin the process of looking at renovating, or building a new stadium.
- Either way they go, it looks like the added cost of a roof won’t be factored in, as they prefer the advantage of the elements.
- Jordy Nelson has chosen to retire.
- He leaves after 10 seasons, with 613 catches for 8,587 yards and 72 touchdowns, plus a Super Bowl XLV ring.
Finally, the Raiders are doing all they can to avoid being on “Hard Knocks”.
- Including Mark Davis ‘jokingly’ saying he’d rather fire Jon Gruden than have to appear on the show.
- But the league wants them, because of:
- Antonio Brown,
- Vontaze Burfict,
- Chucky
- the last (possible) season in Oakland.
- But the league wants them, because of:
- So, here are the qualification for an organization being considered eligible for “Hard Knocks”:
- if they have a first-year coach,
- have played in the postseason the past two years,
- or have been on “Hard Knocks” in the previous 10 years.
- Under those guidelines, that makes the Raiders, Lions, 49ers, Giants, and the [Redacteds] eligible for selection.

Marchessault just missed a WIDE open net at the buzzer to keep Vegas from clinching a playoff spot vs the Avs.
Go Avs!

WFMU radio personality X. Ray Burns from “The Glen Jones Radio Programme” passed away last month. I just found out. He was beloved. You guys would’ve loved him. Fast forward to the 1:00:00 and 2:00:00 mark of this link. This is the first show of theirs I ever heard. True sons of New Jersey.

Great lines from “You’re The Worst’ tonight:
“Don’t lose him, I need that piece of shit to marry me tomorrow.”
“I guess I’ll see you tomorrow, when you walk down the aisle in hilariously incongruous white”
I’m getting so verklempt about an NIT match

I forgot how hot Juliette Lewis was in Strange Days.
Also, congrats to Tony Dungey on his stunning come from behind victory, which reminds me …
AND in Natural Born Killers!
She’s “never stick you dick in crazy” hot in that, though.
on the car hood?
I say as soon as Don Cherry dies, we change the point value of NHL wins to be directly proportional to it’s position in the season. So, game 1 is worth 1 point, game 82 is worth 82. No team is ever truly out of it! Endless drama!
Immediately after each victory the team must flip a coin at center ice to determine if the points are positive or negative. Endless drama! Fun with math!
The player with the most
concussionspenalty minutes on the winning team has to add his teams point total up in his head after the coin flip and if he gets it wrong the team has to move to a random city in New Mexico.During the playoffs, if the game is tied at the end of regulation, the winner is picked by a little retarded kid in a wheelchair in a touching ceremony at center ice with smoke and music and dramatic lighting. The losers have to walk home on their skates.
I’mma go make MOAR cold medicine (i) for continued good mojo; and (ii) so I don’t have to hear about Zion, Zion!, ZION!!!!
DAGGER! Y’all up in Yankeetown have to go to The Garden to cheer on this recluse’s chucklefuck side.
The only reason I’ve been to the Garden In the last 15 years is they paid me to be there.
/No seriously, they did!

hey Jon, it ain’t gonna suck itself
Gruden after he “puts the lotion on”
Derek has found his coach:
Tebow: “I’ll be your back-up Derek”
Would you have Teebs?
I’d have Teebs ALL NIGHT
/maybe he’s making a skin suit out of all those Third World foreskins?
No, he’s sewing all those foreskins together to make a wallet. Except when you rub it the wallet turns into a suitcase.
ka-ching!
oh, that’s GOOD
Charlotte Sometimes blares from the locker room
“Would you draft me? I’d draft me. I’d draft me hard.”
Ugh, ate too much in the lounge. Damn you, free gummi bears.
TRUE HIPPO FACT! I was gonna bet on Lipscomb ML when State was ahead by like 5, but then I recalled that Hippo is hot today (+$600-ish)
Nice.
What’s a big weekly swing to you? $500? $5000? $50,000?!
hee hee, weekly it tends to balance out. I don’t think I’ve ever swing more than $3k/week
also I actually didn’t bet much today, just was seeing the patterns more clearly than usual/good intuition (all Lesser Footy)
Lipscomb? We’re gonna lose to fucking Lipscomb….at home?
NIT fever, muthafuckas!!
“M-O-O-N. That spells nepotism.”
LMFAO….well played.
Sportsmanship still exists. This is a 14 year old in Turkey, but it still exists!

Wow. I never thought someone slicing their bagel bread-style would unite the country in outrage.
https://www.riverfronttimes.com/newsblog/2019/03/27/the-st-louis-style-bagel-slice-is-now-our-national-shame
Yes, that needs to be stopped immediately.
If we focused our outrage only on the serious, we’d have a collective aneurysm
BUT WAS THAT DRESS BLUE OR BLACK Laurel/Yanni???
The next time Americans focus on the serious will be the first.
Just a reminder that St. Louis is already Our National Shame. Not to be confused with Roger Goodell Is A National Disgrace.
Is Panera bread going to whack him like Pesci in Goodfellas?

This is how you know Stone Cold’s 1st Titantron as Stone Cold Steve Austin was perfect. By itself, Disturbed’s Glass Shatters is a good song. But compared to what its replaced, its seems inferior.

Man, I almost forgot how WWE used to try to make genre specific adaptations of their themes to try to milk like 3 more dollars out of the fans.
I listed to A.O.C. completely and logically destroy a Republican that says the Green New Deal is elitist. Where were Democrats like that in the late 90s when I was young and impressionable?! Now I can’t go Democrat because my core values are already Republican. Its like trying to turn a stick-shift into an automatic. Its possible, but its a lot of work.
Do what all the other Republicans do and post passive-aggressive, impossibly thirsty replies to her tweets that include photos they have 1000% never even considered jerking it to.
“that include photos they have 1000% never even considered jerking it to”
That may take a while. I’m a covert pervert.
Or, just maybe, it’s not that much work to go Democrat when they’re the only non-nihilist party left.
ya, Lebowski…
The Democrats aren’t nihilist?
Bill and Hillary Clinton had them all killed. Look at Paul Wellstone (RIP).
I swear every time I turn on the radio there’s some new Disturbed song that sounds nothing like anything they’ve ever done. “here’s some new shit. It might be passable or it might just suck, but we’re gonna play it every fifth song for the next month. Deal with it.”

Lookit this guy and his fancy FM radio that plays music.
True story: I brought my Radio Shack Pocket AM-FM Radio with me to work, and I had two diffrent people asked me what it was.

Oh, the telegraph, congrats on destroying long form discourse through letter writing in this country, you sockdollager
sockdollager is the funniest thing I have read all week
I ordered a transistor radio off Amazon when there was worry about a hurricane during FOOTBAW season. I got priorities.
Am I the only one here fascinated by the Brexit developments?
It’s awesome.

Ah yes, the unbeatable at home Buffalo Bills
That’s materials better used to make folding tables. Duh.
Cooper had to help him clear his Internet Explorer history.
But not before Peyton showed it to Olivia because that’s what older brothers do.
Anyone want to meet up at the Seattle airport for a mocktail?
Mocktail? Are you a Roy Rogers guy or a Shirley Temple man?
Which one most offends the Mormons?
Shit. I would if I could.
Speaking of brackets, which on of you assholes is behind “Sill Bimmons: The Bracket”? Because that thing is hilarious.
My money is on Blax
Yes, Blax would be the 2-1 favorite on that probably.
After some extensive teh hakzorzing I have to agree.
I’ll take things Donald Trump has never said for $400, Alex
It’s not me. But I do have to admit I did giggle when I saw it.

About to try a case where the adjuster handling the file has never seen a trial before and I just know I’m going to murder her before this ends.
Someone get my Ray Lewis’s attorney, and not the one who represented Hernandez.
You don’t need a criminal attorney. You need a criminal attorney.
You have my contact information.
Pass Interference – calls & non-calls – will be reviewable, eh? You have not lived until you have had a championship decided on multiple reviewable PI calls, and not the actual play on the field. This is also followed by the media sucking off the league by justifying the rule.
Fans of the CFL know what I’m talking about.
[laughs at N.C. State being in the NIT]
[realizes that UConn wasn’t even invited]
Not invited? I think they were actively shunned.
HEY!!!!! WE WIN TONIGHT AND WE’RE IN THE FINAL FOUR OF THE NIT WHICH MEANS WE’RE…..
….no worse than the 72nd best team in the country.
OK, I see your point.
