NFL Nuggets:
- Tuesday at midnight marks the end of the compensatory pick portion of free agency.
- Meaning that, after tonight, teams losing players to free agency no longer get compensatory picks as a result of that loss, and teams signing players don’t lose picks.
- Which then means that some players who have been waiting for offers will get signed.
- Ndamukong Suh and Ziggy Ansah are the highest-profile free agents unsigned.
- Meaning that, after tonight, teams losing players to free agency no longer get compensatory picks as a result of that loss, and teams signing players don’t lose picks.
- Lots of kicker talk today:
- Marquette King, ex- of the Raiders & Broncos, is trying out for the Texans, who I am told are an actual NFL team.
- The Bears acquired Eddy Pineiro from the Raiders for a conditional 7th-round pick, provided he stays on the active roster for five games this season.
- Jason Pierre-Paul is likely out for the season after fracturing his neck in a one-car car accident.
- It’s hard to keep both hands on the wheel when you don’t have a full compliment of hands.
- It all comes down to if he needs surgery.
- It really screws over the Bucs because they didn’t draft any linemen, so will have to either promote from within or sign someone new.
Tampa DE Jason Pierre Paul suffered a potential season-ending fractured neck injury in a single-car accident last week in south Florida, league sources tell ESPN. Pierre-Paul will visit neck specialists this week to get their opinions to see if there’s hope to save this season.

Finally, Joe Namath admits to a drinking problem in his new book, “All the Way: My Life in Four Quarters”.
- It’s his first book in 50 years.
- Namath says he drank excessively because a voice in his head told him to. To combat the urge, Namath came up with a name for the voice: Slick.
- Most of his adult life has been an attempt to control those voices. But he couldn’t always control the amount or time of his drinking. But, he says he hasn’t had a drink since the infamous Suzy Kolber interview in 2003.
- Which means his Super Bowl coin toss was completely sober.
ESPN says he doesn’t talk about all the women, just the late nights. He does talk about the travails of fame, the advantages it’s given him, and the toll the game & lifestyle took on him. It should be a quality read.

A little something for everyone tonight, and if the sports becomes tiresome you can always argue about Game of Thrones, and what editing error will show up next. Having seen “Bohemian Rhapsody”, a coffee cup on a table should qualify GoT for all the editing Emmys.
Good morning everybody. The bill for last night’s enchiladas has come due.
Shall we chip in for a plumber?

Hot take: I genuinely do think Kim K will be a good lawyer and I’d work for her in a nanosecond.
Personally, I think it’s awesome that she’s becoming a lawyer. I don’t expect her to be better than average, but with her resources she’ll probably get much more accomplished than the average lawyer.
I’m not as drunk as I hoped I’d be
There’s still time.
It’s odd. There’s a pot delivery service here, but I don’t think that anyone in this city can deliver alcohol. What a world.I stand corrected. We have pot and booze delivery.

It’s amazing how Nate Silver manages to outdo himself every day in proving he was a one-hit wonder whose sole hit wasn’t even that impressive.

You and my brother would totally get along. I’m thinking of dragging him along if/when I go to the L.A. DFO pub crawl.
You should!

Redshirt any time someone says something nice about the Bengals.
That looks expensive.
Nah, it’s just dirt. Oh, you mean the camera…
Polish lesbians.
If you are offended by old-fashioned Polish jokes they are Lithuanian Lethbians.
So they’re introducing the multiverse into the MCU. Swell.

It’s better than running through the glass, but damn, that hurts just to watch.
Why are they playing “Gloria”?
Why not?

I like hockey. All players are testy, all the time.
Which is the game where all players are testes?
Someone did a thing!
Bish should be 2nd Star
I was once again trying to watch hockey and a soccer game broke out.
SOMEBODY SCORE A DAMNED GOAL!!!!!!
Wow, I guess all I had to do is wish.
Buh bye Dallas.
You ask, Laura Branigan delivers:

At the risk of making myself look more foolish…..I always really did like her.
Impeccable timing.
For a production of “Prometheus Unbound”, I’d cast Chris Simms as his liver.
Spleen, liver who cares. I stand by my misuse of Frankenstein.
“Get engaged this Mother’s Day or get Mom a bracelet” Wow, Jared, really scraping the bottom of the barrel here.
Psht. Mother’s Day means cookware or hemp jewelry.
The goal smells better now I bet.
90’s MTV Grind Booty Cam!!
So much unused footage because many of the woman wouldn’t wear underwear.
