Your “Talking Because He’s In Love With His Own Voice” Wednesday Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

  • Isaiah Crowell has torn his Achilles tendon, and will miss the 2019 season.
    • Recently signed by the Raiders, the former Jets RB was projected to be the top back heading into camp, at least until draftee Josh Jacobs is ready to carry the load.
  • One free agent they can’t sign as a replacement is Jamaal Charles.
    • He signed a one-day contract to retire as a Chief, and as their career rushing leader with 7,260 yards.
      • He finishes his career with 7,563 yards, 56th on the NFL’s all-time rushing list.

  • Jason Witten’s mic skills might’ve been wet boogers, but Monday Night Football has decided to make Booger the full-time colour commentator.
    • Lisa Salter will work the sidelines, and something named John Parry will be the “officiating analyst”.

Finally, Jesus Joe Theismann has spoken from the mountaintop on 106.7 The Fan and decreed that Dwayne Haskins may wear #7 for the Washington football team.

  • “I just got off the phone with Dwayne just a little while ago, and I told him it was OK to wear No. 7,” Theismann told the radio station. “Given him permission. Not that I felt like I needed to, but he was respectful enough to ask.”
    • That’s mighty white nice of you, Joe.
  • Theismann’s #7 isn’t retired by the [*Redacted] s, but the number is one of a bunch that the team has “protected” by keeping it out of circulation.
    • Other “protected” numbers are: 
      • #9 – Sonny Jurgensen
      • #28 – Darrell Green
      • #42 – Charley Taylor
      • #43 – Larry Brown
      • #44 – John Riggins
      • #49 – Bobby Mitchell
      • #65 – Dave Butz
      • #70 – Sam Huff
      • #81 – Art Monk
    • According to Wikipedia, Sean Taylor’s number #21 is not “officially” protected.
  • Sammy Baugh’s #33 is the only number that has been officially retired.

Tonight’s sports:

  • NHL: Games 4
    • Islanders at Hurricanes – 7:00PM | NBCSN / Sportsnet (Canes up 2-1)
    • Blues at Stars – 9:30PM | NBCSN / Sportsnet (Blues up 2-1)
  • AHL:
    • Calder Cup Playoffs: North Division Final – Cleveland vs. Toronto – 7:00PM | TSN2
  • NBA:
    • Trail Blazers at Nuggets – 9:00PM | TNT / TSN
  • MLB:
    • Astros at Twins – 8:00PM | ESPN / TSN3
    • Blue Jays at Angels – 10:00PM | Sportsnet1

That’s a good dose of everything. For Canadian commentists, it sure is nice to see that the Toronto Sports Network found a way to get more Toronto playoff hockey of any kind onto our TVs. Meanwhile, the WHL playoffs have been on local public access TV that you can only get if you are signed up to that one provider. FUCK THEM ALL!

How’s everyone doing here?

Kevin McHale can go eat a bag of dicks. Hopefully he’ll choke on one of them and die.

Made it to 50 today. Lost $10 on a cornhole tournament with one of my best friends against my son and his best friend. Might be taking a deposition tomorrow with a fantastic hangover.

Here’s to playing the back nine of life.

Your life is officially over. From this point on you are just taking the scenic route to the graveyard. Aside from that, Happy Birthday.

Thanks man. I hoping for 25 relatively good years, then I try heroin.

Guess who got a federal jury questionnaire in the mail? Unfortunately it’s the Eastern District so I wouldn’t get definitely-not-collusion-or-obstruction cases.

Don’t be so sure about that. I feel like these conspiracy cases are going to have spinoffs of spinoffs.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

….. and spinoffs.

*Hopes so.

Brick Meathook

Just write “I vote guilty” on it and mail it back.

Senor Weaselo

I normally go for the Phoenix Wright approach.

Can’t believe the Islanders haven’t pulled their goaltender yet.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Oooops, never mind. They did while I was typing that.

Sharkbait

Eat it Islanders

theeWeeBabySeamus

2 empty netters.
That’s just embarrassing.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Well, they shouldn’t have retired so early, bound to run out of money.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Oh….. NETTERS.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

That’s damn good typing.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Some days are better than others.

She “pulled her goaltender” is a terrible euphemism.

Every day can be Friday if you quit your job!

You’d think so…but trust me….

Never mind.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I don’t want to be homeless on Fridays.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Change the locks.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

That’s how I was homeless last time.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Lost the new keys?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Well……..

King Hippo

just set your office on fire, everyday is Friday for awhile!

/see, I have good goddamned ideas

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

The sprinkler system put that out.

King Hippo

you’re an engineer, sabotage that motherfucker!

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Good point; there is a bunch of them there. When you know enough about fire protection systems, accelerants, and Polish sausage you can get away with stuff.

I’d watch that.

It’s a her, and I’d have to drive to Temecula to do it, but then again…

OK, everyone sit down. And brace yourselves for this news.

Had plans to run 10K today but freezing rain got in the way. My workout journal says “25 minutes on elliptical” #fuckingweather.

King Hippo

I took a 90 minute nap. There will be no journal to record my sloth/shame.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Ummmm…I think you might be wrong about that. Look what you just did.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Speaking of shame though, I’ve been home for 2.5 months and yet I’m still more or less living out of a suitcase.

I might be lazy.

King Hippo

MOAR ppl will read scotchy’s journal than this. smgdh

Tens of people!!!!! Tens I tell you!!!!

OK maybe I just misspelled twos.

There was a very solid comment on deadspin about how the 7 next to Theisman’s name was actually a photograph of his tibia.

Unsurprised

A “+10” seems like enough for an automatic banner quote

Unsurprised

Theismann’s number is as protected as his leg was.

King Hippo

LT should just show up at his house, cripple him again.

Unsurprised

That would rule.

Of course, one not on Washington’s list of protected numbers is the Six (Nations).
