Your Hastily Conceived Wednesday Evening Open Thread

Sorry for the quality – we were short-staffed at school, and I could only put things together in chunks.

NFL News:

  • Overly conceived: Sean McVay says he was “over-prepared” for the Super Bowl.
    • He claimed he spent the first week before the game watching every Patriots 2018 game, plus their Super Bowl games from previous years to try & gain insight into what they might do.
      • Failing to take into account that Bill Belichick is an evil genius who plans based on the opponent, not the scenario.
  • Poorly conceived: Donovan McNabb has a “bitchy” response to people upset at his criticism of the Eagles.  
    • “If I’m an analyst and a question is presented to me, I’m supposed to answer the way I see fit,” McNabb said, via Philly.com.
    • This is all because he said the Eagles might consider cutting Carson Wentz if they don’t make it back to the NFC title game before his rookie deal runs out.
  • Financially conceived: The Seahawks are indeed considered the frontrunners to sign free agent DE Ziggy Ansah.
    • He would fill the gap left by the Frank Clark trade, and his pre-existing shoulder issues means they’d be getting him at a discount.
      • Which would then allow them to extend Bobby Wagner & end all this contract bullshit that dogs them each off-season.
  • Rem capto: Prosecutors in the Robert Kraft case want the court to sanction Kraft’s attorneys for allegedly lying in court.
    • They claims Kraft’s attorneys made up accusations against a testifying officer designed to impact his credibility.
    • The lawyers’ response is classic, ‘What? How DARE you impugn our credibility?!’
      • “This is all an obvious and desperate attempt to deflect attention away from the illegal and unconstitutional actions of the Jupiter Police Department and the state lawyers.”

Tonight’s sports:

  • NHL: Game 7, Bay-Bay!   
    • Avalanche at Sharks – 9:00PM | NBCSN / CBC / Sportsnet
  • NBA:
    • Celtics at Bucks – 8:00PM | TNT / TSN
      • Game 5; Bucks lead 3-1
    • Rockets at Warriors – 10:30PM | TNT / TSN
      • Game 5; series tied 2-2
  • MLB:
    • Mariners at Yankees – 6:30PM | ESPN / TSN2
    • Twins at Blue Jays – 7:00PM | Sportsnet1
  • Futbol:
    • MLS:
      • Atlanta vs. Toronto FC – 7:00PM | TSN4
    • USL Championship Soccer:
      • Nashville SC vs. Tampa Bay Rowdies – 8:00PM | ESPN2

I kinda wish I could watch that USL match. Otherwise, I look forward to either moar double overtime or a blowout.
