NFL Nuggets:
- Tom Coughlin, pictured above, has opinions on players that skipped this week’s voluntary workouts.
- Borrowing from ESPN, Coughlin stated
- “We’re very close to 100 percent attendance, and quite frankly, our players should be here building the concept of team, working hard side by side, constructing our bond of togetherness, formulating our collective priorities and goals.”
- “Success in the NFL demands struggle. Those who have everything given to them become lazy, selfish and insensitive to the real values of team. The hard work that many try to avoid is the major building block for the development of an outstanding football team.”
- “It’s not about rights and privileges. It’s about obligations and responsibility, and the question is: Can we count on you?”
- The NFLPA has used the twitter to remind an old man that words have meanings:

- The AAF bankruptcy filing clocked in at over 1100 pages.
- The biggest creditors are:
- MGM – $7 million
- CBS – $5.19 million
- ASU – $1.2 million
- plus a law firm & ad agency for $4.6 million combined.
- The biggest creditors are:
- The NFL schedule makers seem to think they kinda, mighta, screwed over Tampa Bay.
- They go through a 49-day stretch where they don’t play a home game.
- From Week 3 to Week 10.
- On the bright side, you can’t catch MRSA from what you don’t touch.
- They go through a 49-day stretch where they don’t play a home game.
Finally, the Draft is one week from today. We will have a live blog hosted by (name unavailable), so make sure to come by & join us as we laugh at how the Raiders waste their Khalil Mack bounty.
- There are dozens of mock drafts out there for you to peruse, but I have no interest in them – mostly because I am not a monkey flinging shit at a wall for my network bosses.
- I fling shit for myself, dammit; not for internet profit!

Lay off Coughlin. He’s a good guy. His BC teams always played above their talent. His Gints teams as well.
He’s a douche, like most coaches. “If you’re not 5 minutes early your late” “If you’re not at voluntary workouts you’re not meeting your obligations” “I’ll be in the office on Christmas”
Fuck off with that. You coach football. Get a grip.
I get what you’re saying. It’s using a military approach with guys who never signed up for the fucking military. But he doesn’t rub me the wrong way like a lot of other coaches, and seems to truly love his guys. How can you not love a guy who let the cold turn his face into something from “Tim & Eric: Awesome Show. Great Job!” beating the motherfucking Packers in Lambeau in January?
And he presided over two incredible Patriots Schadenfreude days with Eli of all people under center.
I’m taking Senorita Weaselo to the Yankee game tomorrow, provided we don’t need two of every animal. This might be hilarious.
I have a joke for this, but I will refrain.
1- How many foul balls will she get that night?
LOL
2- Will she get an extra large wiener with a bag of nuts for dinner?

Orioles third base coach needs to be fired. He sent a runner who was out before even ever turned third. But they did take the lead on the play.
Now they’ll probably fuck it up again.
You’re not getting next year’s first pick holding the runner.
Seriously man. It was an RBI double, which ended up winning the game. But he sent the runner from first and the throw from left was already ahead of him.
One of my favorite memories of my kid’s high school baseball “career” was seeing one of his teammates, (nice kid but slow as fuck), come up with the bases loaded and crack a bases clearing single to deep right-center.
Got thrown out by 4′ going for the 2B.
For the record, I will have a woefully inaccurate mock draft ready for Night One.
To make up for the inaccuracy I’m going to make sure it’s dull as fuck.
In terms of non-progressives being against Medicare, I never understood why they mention Cuba as a deterrent. Cuba has a better life expectancy and a significantly better infant mortality rate.
Conservatives just finished ranting on Twitter about how liberals want to give American mothers health care like Finland! Can you believe it! Finland! The fact that Finland has lower child and maternal mortality rates didn’t faze them; statistics are just a liberal plot.
So if you think some fancy numbers are going to convince conservative Americans that an island of brown people have figured something out better than the Shining City on the Hill….
They want the poor to die. They always have and always will. Blood is the lubricant of commerce.
I mean look at Fidel Castro! He’s dead and they’re still probably wheeling him out Weekend at Bernie’s style!
Holy shit, Chris Davis got a hit.
And then made it first to third on Ruiz’s blooper.
What the hell am I seeing here?
Once again, the Canadia side always fails. Fuck this sport, I go sleepy-time.
I think the bigger lesson is to never expect playoff success if you name your franchise the Jets
That fucking sucked.
A 100mph pitch, even down the heart of the plate, is very difficult to hit.
Hopefully Alvarado will get tired soon.
Flipping through channels and come across a Married With Children marathon…on LOGO. I’d be interested in that decision making process. “Gay actress? Say no more, and no, I will not be looking any further into the series”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpwvoqWT8N4
Honestly though, the TV marathons are worth it just for the Sinatra opening. The soundalike they use on the streaming versions is completely devoid of soul.
Gay Actress, director, and writers. The entire series is steeped in irony.
Unfortunately, irony died sometime last decade. So who knows now. Who cares. Just watch.
EK65 to the Ice Giants next season? I CAN DREAM DAMNIT!
That wouldn’t make much sense in terms of their rebuild
Forget it Wake, it’s Dolantown.
Fee have watched this series but it has been fucking awesome
In true Ice Footy fashion, I have it on the background while I read.
Has teh hockey gotten MOAR boring/predictable, or am I just cynical and Cutlered about everything now?
The best team in a generation got swept in the first round by a bumblefuck Ohio expansion team
Just woke up the kid swearing at the Ice Rams/Cardinals goal. Fuck.
/checks Nets score
We got one win!
They are playing exactly like you’d expect a team named after part of the court to play
SIGH, everything I touch dies.
At least I can go back to forgetting The Association exists in any way, shape, or form.
So the Caps lose, the Sharks are winning, and the Orioles are about to win.
What a crappy night.
Can I ask where the Orioles have them?
Right where you want them?
(5-4 going to TB’s half of the 9th)
At least the Caps won’t be losing to the Pens in the second round this year.
And I’m giggling at the Lightning.
You are god damned right
Aaaaaaand of course, the Orioles give up a run in the bottom of the 9th and we’re going to extras.
Michael Givens here and I’mma blowin’ the save…
Hee hee
The one time I root for them! Well, other than the game I went to where they were playing the White Sox and we all just heckled Jermaine Dye.
This game is like the Nets suddenly remembering who they’ve always been as a franchise
“Hey, I resemble that remark.”

Jesus fuck that state farm robot commercial is goddamn horrifying
Just saw the Folge hit on Oshie. That’s a dislocated shoulder at the least.
The shitty Star Trek mobile game commercials are back on, which means it’s time for yet another posting of the Letterman version

Robert Kraft and Bill Parcells are against this.
Ice [*Redacted] s shook up by the Mueller Report, apparently.
Gotta think like 95% of what Ovechkin did post-Cup win was a felony
He was blacked out for most of it I venture to guess.
Current thoughts on Sixers-Nets:

Got a text from my dad. He’s at the Warriors-Clippers game, and sent me the LA Stanley Cup banners. I responded in kind:
Totally thought it was sexy friday.
Ice Bombers up 2-0 lets get sexy anyway.
Tomorrow’s still sexy! So long as ya like snuff films…

Anyone remember that episode of the Laff-A-Lympics when the Really Rottens won?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xRv_K4xPP4
I do! That totally blew my young mind! It taught me that incompetence and evil can still triumph, which has come in useful in understanding recent events.
Travolta’s character in Pulp Fiction is an amazingly stupid, complete piece of shit. Anyway, that Panthers videos in downloadable form:

Was looking to try out my new gaming build with whatever shiny shooter is the new trendy thing, but saw Yakuza 0 for 10 bucks, so trying my hand at that series instead. Feel like I chose well.
Really should have kept it site-specific
It’s amazing how real content manages to be even dumber and worse than anything fictional on this site. So I’ll just leave you with jiggling titties.

You are doing the deity of your choice’s work, sir.
I just found it on reddit. Figured I’d share. It’s been a good day so far.
Real FOOTBALL content. Just to be clear.
Hnnnnngh!
Anyone remember that phase of Ozzy Osboure’s career when he sang about being sleepy?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjWhOoT2h7w
Anyone remember that episode of Three’s Company where Larry Dallas wasn’t awesome? Me neither.
Anyone remember that episode of Scooby-Doo where Scrappy finally addressed his abandonment issues?
I just realized, since Scooby-Doo was only Scrappy’s uncle, does that mean that Scrappy’s father was Scooby-Dum? Would explain a lot.
Wasn’t that the live-action movie?
So the hockey playoffs are the first occasion I’ve had to watch USA network in years… apparently from the promos, USA is just like Bravo now, filled with reality shows about people I’ve never heard of just living their daily oh-so-fascinating lives?
they occasionally have Premiership matches (join the Lesser Footy revolution! all but tWBS are welcome), but I never really noticed (think same commercials run on those as on regular NBCSN match)
I don’t know who to root for! (Just against Liverpool because fuck the Red Sox.)
Sounds like a budding Evertonian to me!
Seriously, did no one read Temptation Island Talk???
I did! I eagerly anticipated it every week.
Oh, I’m fine with Temptation Island — it has a gimmick, and sort of revels in being trashy. And I like some competitive reality shows like Survivor.
It’s all of these “Don’t Be Tardy” and “Miz and Mrs.” and shit like that, where apparently the plot of tonight’s episode is that the dude can’t find room in the bed with his wife, baby, and two dogs.
Anyone remember that episode of The Flintstones when Fred ordered the ribs knowing full well that his vehicle insurance had expired?
and that Mister Slate was a Goldwater Republican, exploiting the proletariat
Methinks Brooklyn may not be tall enough out there. Like the 12 September Towers ,, smh
Anyone remember that episode of Tom and Jerry where Tom delivered a pizza and Jerry had no money and then Tom had sex with Jerry but it seemed a bit contrived?
LOL….wait what?
I remember… but how did it end? I could never make it that far for some reason.
oh fuck, how I guffawed at this!
Anyone remember that episode of Pinky and the Brain when the latter character wanted to take over the world?
and the other was insane?
there was a time in elementary school when I thought “NARF” was the greatest word in the world… said it alllll the time.

Remember that King of the Hill episode where Hank Hill advocated for propane and propane products?
oh yeah, same one where former Gov. Ann Richards visited
Ian? Please tell teh Nets to DO BETTER ,, smh
Remember that Simpsons episode where Homer starts an internet news wobsite only to quickly run out of stories, only to become more popular than ever once he starts posting the most absurd bullshit he can think of only to (checks notes) get kidnapped to a secret island by the deep state? I wonder if there’s a lesson in there somewhere about news and stuff.
Its not about the truth and facts, its only about the money?
Ovechkin gonna hafta knock another bitch out tonite?
It’s a secret code to Putin to indicate whether his cover was blown by the Mueller report: one knockout if he’s made, zero if he wasn’t.
#31 has like an all-time great fro

Work this past week has been a complete bastard. To top it all off, the delivery wings that I ordered as medium hot came in as extra hot. It’s like the entire universe is conspiring against me or something!
At least you’re not alternate universe Scotchy: the wings he ordered got delayed because of the Calacatta Marble shortage. How will he be able to enjoy yachting this weekend with that hanging over his head?
“As his therapist for the last little while, it’s nice to see some of scotchnaut’s friends weighing in on the importance of objects hanging over his head.”

Dude I’ve been picking AFLBeat Footytips for 3 seasons now and I can honestly tell you I do not have a clue what I am doing. I don’t know what the betting numbers are next to the team names — Is it how much you win if you bet a buck (so higher is a worse team) or is it how much you gotta bet to win a buck (so higher is a better team)?
I’m not even sure which side is the home team. Is that backwards there and they put the host first? That’s like only something you’d see when Trump Baseball plays home games.
Yes, higher number means bigger underdog. Lower number equals favourite.
Also, they always list the home team first

These Buccaneers, I call them pirates because they are going to leave home for a long time in search of glory but probably only find misery and despair.
And scurvy. So much scurvy.
Probably rickets, too

Oh. Sorry Jesus, didn’t see you there.
No worries. By Sunday, he’ll be fine.

He died on the Cross so I could get what will probably be my only day off this year.
He’s one thoughtful dude.
