Your “All Is Well” Wednesday Evening Open Thread

NFL Notes:

  • In a sure sign the Jets are ready to challenge for the AFC East, they have fired general manager Mike Maccagnan & named head coach Adam Gase interim GM.
    • And now, a look in at Jets HQ:

    • No word on why now, or just why, but people have thoughts on what’s next:.

  • Stephen Gostkowski re-signed with the Patriots.
    • A two-year deal, followed by a comment designed to infuriate non-Patriots fans:
      • “My daughter’s been to three Super Bowls and she’s not even three yet. My oldest son has been to five,” Gostkowski said. “It’s a dream come true. I wouldn’t change anything for the journey I’ve been able to have and look forward to trying to make a couple more memories.”

Virginia McCaskey’s cobwebbed cunt makes better personnel decisions than the Jets.

I also may have just found next year’s fantasy football team name

I’m on a train!

Specifically, on my way home from Santa Barbara. I do not feel like the hangover that is developing was properly earned.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Was Dule Hill there?

Mr. Ayo

Hand of Meier!

ALXMAC

yeah I’m pretty sure that’s one of those that they can’t overturn on the review. Also the puck may have hit his own stick after he batted it, which if true, would mean that it wasn’t a hand pass.

Mr. Ayo

It’s so weird that in the age of replay, some things are not allowed to be reviewed.

ALXMAC

Yes but I think most of the leagues are trying to find that balance between getting it right and not having a 5 hour game.

Mr. Ayo

Only thing worse than a 5 hour hockey game is this.

ALXMAC

Ask the Astros about a certain MLB ump, or the Rockets about a certain NBA ref. Tennis chair refs get calls wrong all the time but at least that can be challenged by the players on replay.

Senor Weaselo

…So Houston is the new Baltimore?

ALXMAC

Haha I realized I picked two Houston teams when I gave examples, but only b/c both have been in the news this year about how much they despise certain refs/officials. I’m sure every team has their “favorites”

ballsofsteelandfury

I knew the refs didn’t have the balls to overturn that call. They could see it on the screen, plain as day.

I blame St. Louis for not dumping sodas and popcorn on them. If there was a REAL home ice advantage, that call gets overturned.

Fronkenshteen

What the fuck are the Jets…like….doing?

Sharks tie it up late in the third, making them almost as grateful for their next period as the women of Alabama.

There hasn’t been this much scoring in St. Louis since Wilt Chamberlin was in town to play the Hawks.

That was awesome. Everything that could fall did fall.

Senor Weaselo

Well, the doorframe didn’t.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Why does St. Louis suck so badly?
And to be clear I’m talking about the hockey, not the rest. That’s a discussion for another day.

King Hippo

GET A BRAIN MORAN!!

theeWeeBabySeamus

Heheheheh.
Best response evar.

SonOfSpam

Missourah can’t be any higher than like 45th on the list of best states, right? MS and AL are awful, and Arkansas is probably a nightmare, but what other state is worse?

King Hippo

Iowa and Indiana smell really bad.

SonOfSpam

But Kevin Costner said Iowa was heaven in that one movie.

Then again, Steve King. Ok then.

After today, Alabama drops to 52nd.

We’re gonna get rain in SoCal tonight/tomorrow. The hatches have been battened down. (By that I mean I have enough beer to get through tomorrow)

King Hippo

imagine y’all manage rain like we does snow

SonOfSpam

Probably not that well, but you get the idea.

Reading downthread…you have twin 18 year old girls???? Gads, the medication seems much more mandatory than previously thought.

Mr. Ayo

Also, Hippo, pics?

Mr. Ayo

Insta or Snapchat handles will suffice too.

King Hippo

oh they have those, I just have sense enough NOT to know what they are

OR

The answer is obviously Cheryl/Carol Tunt.

Eil’s real first name is Elisha? Why wasn’t I informed of this?!

you thought we just called him that to be meanies? 😀

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Elisha Nelson Manning IV is an American football quarterback for the New York Giants of the National Football League. He played college football at the University of Mississippi from 2000 to 2003. He was drafted as the first overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers and was immediately traded to the Giants who in return gave up a package, hi…

found a funny:
Ocean pollution is a huge problem but there is an obvious solution. Raccoons love to eat garbage. Therefore, if we trained a raccoon navy, they’d be able to go out into the sea & eat the ocean garbage. I don’t see how this plan could go wrong. We should also give them swords.

St. Louis playing Patrick Maroon against San Jose was a terrible decision, because you know Sharks go into a frenzy when they see red in the Blue(s) water.

I do not want to watch that.

//teen-age son enjoys said latitude

///finds out that son has lied about several things regarding that latitude

////severely restricts son’s latitude and longitude

THE ARISTOCRATS!

Senor Weaselo

Why’d you say you have a teenage son four times?

scotchnaut

You spelled ‘twice’ wrong.

King Hippo

as a parent of two teenagers (and one who has graduated to age 20), I presume he is trying to talk himself down from murder

theeWeeBabySeamus

She already graduated?

King Hippo

Oldest is in 3rd year at university, twins seniors in HS.

theeWeeBabySeamus

OK, I misunderstood. I thought you were saying oldest already graduated from Greenville.

King Hippo

nae, graduated from becoming a teenager is all

theeWeeBabySeamus

Good for her. I hope to get there someday myself. Everyone tells me I act like I’m 12.

They are not necessarily wrong.

LemonJello

ECU graduation is…something. I will offer up sacrifices to BOLTMAN on your behalf.

{LimeJello graduated this year. Now he needs to find a damn job and stop eating all my groceries}

We brought our own. But we shared.

theeWeeBabySeamus

At least no one showed up in Raleigh and trashed our stadium this time. LOL. Sorry, not sorry.

scotchnaut

I thought we had an understanding. I was wrong.

theeWeeBabySeamus

LOL, that’s what I’ve been saying to the girl formerly known at tWLS for months!!!!!!
It ain’t quite worked yet.

King Hippo

Teenagers lie habitually. It’s what they do. Imagine having TWO IDENTICAL of him, whose only real loyalty is to the other (even though they fight constantly).

theeWeeBabySeamus

I have twin nieces. They’re a pain in my ass. I can’t imagine having twin daughters.

You should drink more heavily.

Let him spend some time with Marc Trestman. He’ll keep a good eye on him!

My parents gave me some sound advice when I was going to my first party at the age of 12.

“We know you. We raised you. We trust you to make good decisions. Just remember that your last name is our last name, your sister’s last name, and your grandparents, and your aunts, uncles and cousins. Just remember your actions reflect on all of us.”

Six years later my uncle pulls me aside:
“Redshirt, your making the family name a good name. That’s not necessary a good thing.”

I actually have to drive to Baltimore this weekend. Not only that, but because I’m a fucking idiot I have agreed to have a locksmith meet me at the girl formerly known at tWLS’ house, and have her house re-keyed, and check on the place while I’m in town. And find her car title and mail it to Florida.

On the bright side, I will get to see the Yankees beat the living shit out of the Orioles while I’m there.

Ain’t life fun?

(oh, on the seriously bright side, Imma get to meet WCS live and in person finally….and we might even do a BoTG thing if we get drunk enough)

I’m sure what is more irrational at this point. You keeping nee tWLS in your life or me still keeping the non-Trumpsucker faction of the Republican Party in mine.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I’m trying to rebuild a friendship, not a romance, with the former tWLS. She’s a good girl, just not in a good place right now.

Trump can suck my balls. And probably would for the right price.

Redshirt

I retract 26.7% of my comment. Good luck to you but be careful.

As for the last 43.3% of my comment, hopefully I’ll see the light.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Oh, and I do get to see the Avett Brothers again on my way back south after the game.

So at least there’s that.

Redshirt

That’s okay. The GOP is doing that themselves, slowing turning me from a Moderate Republican to a Conservative Democrat day-by-day. The Alabama GOP going Full Patriarchy was Super Effective.

King Hippo

you see how the P*ts are basically gifted a 6-0 head start every season. Maybe has sommet to do with their title run?

Redshirt

Wow. Compared to the Giants and the Jets, the Bengals offseason strategy of “flooring it in Neutral” seems brilliant by comparison.

Brick Meathook

What the hell is up with these goddam “Town House” crackers? They’re advertised as “light and buttery” but they just disintegrate in your hand if you try to put anything on them! Are these things made by those fucking elves?

This is just great. The Giants are somehow having a worse off season than a team that let their GM make all their moves before getting fired prior to the start of training camp.

Ian Scott McCormick

Gettleman hasn’t so much asked anybody to hold his beer as he traded his beer away for hobo piss, citing a lack of culture during the beer’s time in NY.
