NFL Nuggets:
- The Bengals curse lives on: first-round pick Jonah Williams will miss all of 2019 with a torn labrum & surgery to repair same.
- As noted by Mr. Ayo in last night’s open thread, this is but the latest in what appears to be a clear pattern of fragile drafting by Mike Brown.
- Tyreek Hill had his meeting with the NFL today.
- Officials from the league’s Special Counsel for Investigations travelled to Kansas City to meet with Hill.
- In prior incidents, Hill “pleaded guilty to choking and beating her while she was pregnant”.
- Pre-NFL misbehavior can be used as an aggravating factor when establishing punishment for misconduct that happens after the player joins an NFL team.
- As a ground floor, Ravens CB Jimmy Smith got four games for emotionally abusing the mother of his child. There were no allegations of physical violence against Smith.
- In prior incidents, Hill “pleaded guilty to choking and beating her while she was pregnant”.
- Officials from the league’s Special Counsel for Investigations travelled to Kansas City to meet with Hill.
It’s a terribly slow news day, so why not a little Canadian Prairie ballad?
It seems like a good evening to talk about music.

Damn that’s good.
Speaking of music, Nashville continues to impress, especially if you can avoid the drunken idiots.
You cannot though.

Despite all the crap at work today, I’m officially on vacation and am celebrating accordingly. Off to Chicago Friday, then London Sunday
You gonna get a chance to check out Delilah’s in Chicago?
Now I’m going to. Definitely going to whiskey acres distilling at the very least
Dok took me there when I visited, and it’s still among my all-time favorite bars. En-joy.
Woooo!
Too late to have you bring me back some shortbread from Fornum and Mason?
/safe travels
Six beers in 45 minutes. Fuck. This is barely a buzz.
What if you drank them via your butt?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07P538K83iU
You need some better beer.
Or to wait about another 20 minutes for it all to catch up with you.
Did I tell you I had a can of weldwerks explode in my pantry? What a sad waste of good beer. The lesson is for me to drink those sooner.
That’s tragic. Weldwerks has some good, if apparently very unstable, stuff.
Uhhhh, if I could just be totally honest here — I don’t give a flying fuck about the Midwest or their “problems”.
Unfortunately, by a fluke of geography they will mostly be the last part to drown.
Then why they always bitching about fields flooding?!
You know who is not getting enough rain? The deserts!

Can’t we just get Biden to beat Trump and call it a day?
Does anyone else stand a chance against Trump? It seems Biden is the only one that polls above Trump.
Are you fucking high?
Scratch that.
Are you fucking stupid? Have you read the batshit Republican nonsense Biden has been spouting? If he’s the nominee, I’d fucking vote for Trump because there’s more dignity involved when the choice is a brain-damaged, syphilitic loser vs. a racist lickspittle for billionaires who did it all for the love of the game and not even for the decent reasoning that he was corrupt and enriched himself and his family for eternity.
But aren’t they all corrupt and enriched? They’re politicians!
No
The hate is strong in this one.
Dude. You have no idea.
I never got to Mean Drunk at the DFO pub crawl.
BTW, just to be clear. I am an asshole, right?
Dude, I’m such an asshole I can’t even share my thoughts here 90% of the time.
Ppl say Warren already took his best punch.
I like her because she’s his exact opposite. She’s the smart compassionate grandma to his insane child-diddlying step-grandpa.
People take advantage of grandma.
In short, if Biden is the nominee (he won’t be), I’ll happily vote for him.
But I’m looking forward to President Harris or President Warren.
There is a “Mister Deadly” on Archer tonight, and Rikki ain’t even tell us!!
Damn you Brick Meathook, you sent me down a hole. Now I want this.

“brrrrrrrt.”
A scale model A10 that farts. Aside from a REAL A10 name something better. Go ahead and try.
You can’t.
Evening gents. Survived a 100 person re-structuring at work today. Only to read an email from the CEO touting breakout growth and how this was good for the company. Great optics. Touting growth while co workers are packing shit into boxes.
/drinks.
//How the fuck ya doin?
Did they call it “rightsizing”?
“Reduction In Force”
makes it feel MUCH better for the fired, I’m sure
Where I work, they send out RIF notices/letters. Same thing for us.
The callous indifference from the top is what pissed me off the most. I get that RIF has to happen sometimes, but at least show some compassion for fucks sake
That’s what you get working for “the man.” I own my own company, folks. Yes that’s right, I’m a captain of industry. And I own a corporation, not some stinking LLC. I do the hiring, and I do the firing, and that’s that. I don’t give a fuck about the employees “feelings.” Of course, I’m the only employee I’ve ever had, which causes all sorts of issues. If I jerk off then technically I’m guilty of sexual harassment.
Do you need a general counsel? I need an excuse to allow me to practice in California without going through the bullshit of taking the bar exam again (and having to explain some … issues).
At least he didn’t say “record profits”…
“Congratulations, corporate drones! Our outlook for the future has our profits increasing by approximately 100 of your pitiful salaries.”
Man — who is downsizing right now?
Forgive student loan debt. Those who already paid are not important to those burdened right now. This moral hazard stuff is revanchist bullshit. Debt can be slavery. The usury’s in writing and accepted, but still!
What about some sort of community service element? I would like that as a component of “free-ish” tuition programs going forward, too.
Oh, I’m all for the snot-nosed getting a sweat. Or a toxic internship. Or—ooh, ooh!—cleaning toilets and enduring old folks.
yeah, maybe that will help the elderly modify their terrifying politics, too
It’s the same braindead thinking that says we should increase the retirement age since people live longer instead of how we’ve automated and efficiency’ed so much that no one in this country should have to work more than 30 hours a week.
I have actually been working and it’s amazing how little you working folks have time to think about politics and theory and all the bullshit that I’ve been fretting about for years, but now that I’m on a drunken roll — bring on the motherfucking guillotines already!
Not for me. I’ve been working 30+ hours since 2nd year of college and I’ve always thought about politics. It’s just that, my personal charm would suffer if shouted “Frantz Fanon is right!” every 20 minutes.
LOL wait what?
THANKS, Star Treek NOBUMMER!!!!1111
Bullshit. Him taking her to sex clubs in Paris and wanting her to join him in an open relationship where he could pawn her off to every car dealership owner in Illinois under the guise of “free love” is why they split.
It says “contributed”
Maybe soccer doesn’t always suck as much as I thought.
But I do have to point out that it’s the only goal scored.
LOL
What a shitty goalie
I’m following this debate over Telex, and i have a completely different opinion of who won than my friend who’s watching it via semaphore. It’s like 1960 all over again.
So after the last two and a half years I feel like the quality I would prize most in a president is intelligence. So far I’ve got Warren at #1 and Castro at #2.
Booker and O’Rourke have had moments, but they still have a scared-shitless look on their face. The guy on the far right gets my vote for the “Screaming Look at Me” candidate.
“Comment awaiting moderation”? Okay, how did I anger the almighty Mods?
Oh to have Trump lose not only to a woman, but one he consistently mocked with racist nicknames.
I have Harris #1, Warren #2. Really like ’em both. Warren’s workrate impresses me greatly.
I love that I actually have to ask which Harris.
there’s TWO Harrises??
Kamala and Beto.
Beto’s VA plan is basically endorsing the government from Starship Troopers, and to point out how insane that idea and its author are, Robert Heinlein was too right wing for the John Birch Society. IN THE FIFTIES. When it was calling Ike a commie stooge.
I ALREADY TOLD YOU I AM NOT RUNNING!!!!
Only because there’s no Aussie Nazis chasing you so far.
“So Far” being the key phrase.
Bernie was right about issues going on now 40 years ago, but go on …
You have one job, NBC Control Room. ONE JOB!
You could have zero expectations for NBC and they would still fuck up
I need to download youtube videos on to my laptop for Decilitre for an upcoming plane trip. What is the best downloader?
just tell him he needs to pray constantly, or God will let the plane fall
It is going to be hell. I know it, you know it. It is a 6 am 2 hour flight. We hope he sleeps and not unleash the kraken.
yeah, better dope his ass up
jdownloader2. If there’s a better downloader I’ve yet to see it
Adding to my answer, you download the software, open it up, click on the second tab, think it’s called links. Paste the YouTube link there, click download, sit back and drink.
What I really love about this is whereas most downloaders go one video at a time, this bad boy can download playlists with one link.
Download “The Wall”, cover your wife’s eyes on the tits part, repeat.
I want that Piper Cub back there. The 747 too.
found a funny:
WIFE: Did you get the baby their shots?
ME: Of course
BABY: [licking salt off wrist] WOOOO
I love this and I’m going to steal it.
Sec. Castro got his pitch and hit a home run.

I’m actually liking this debate. The roundtalk is enlightening.
Still too early for me to get a favorite. Too many damn people on the stage.
Padres get the win against the Orioles!!!!

Transfemale right to abortion?
Unless I’ve missed a scientific breakthrough, a transfemale can’t get pregnant. Gender reassignment is only on the outside.
The fetus can gestate in a box you know.

How many questions have they asked Warren already? It seems like she’s ahead by two.
now it’s 3.
Did they “weight” this like they supposedly did the lineup?

Despirate Cheap Pop. Everyone take a drink.
Oh, why didn’t they learn from the ’16 GOP mess and fit everyone with shock collars to go off if they go past their time limit.
All I want to know is if they forgive everyone’s students loans, are people like me who already paid off their loans going to get a check or a credit in their taxes?
Yeah, count on it….
ha, I had the same thought
What about Canadian student loans, is that part of NAFTA part deux/dos?
I DEMAND FREE MONEY!
You get the satisfaction of a job well done. Meanwhile, I get the cost of a Los Angeles tear-down forgiven.
I go for bed now.
I wake up at 5am tomorrow.
I get to work at 7am.
I pull out hair for 8 hours.
I come back home and drink and make jokes.
I lather, rinse, cry and repeat.
Where’s the part where you kill hobos to make leather goods out of their skin?
That’s the weekend.
Okay. Lets see if the first half of the Democratic mess can get me a candidate I can vote for. Or at least a candidate that seems genuine.
Sen. Warren is super genuine, though I still prefer Sen. Harris.
I don’t know. For her, I see her as “Look at me! I’m the fusion of Hillary and Bernie! Vote for me, Hillnie!”
Too bad they’re both women.
Beto is already nervous AF.
Is the Democrat candidate not Trump? Then they have my vote. I’m not trying to overthink things here.
Same here.
back to the Canadia well – how about the Vancouver Whiteheads? They’s +463 in the town that killed JFK
Hotel Room TV always has the Fox News channel when its turned on. I wonder if that’s enough to ask for a refund.
“Soooo… vacation is not what you ever wanted? Why haven’t you drawn any circles in the sand yet? How do you feel this ties into your mother abandoning you emotionally?”

If i go into a restaurant and the TVs are on Fox News, i immediately leave.
Do like I do and use the parental lockout feature to shut the channel down permanently.
Rooney just scored a goal from mid field.

30 for 30 Deion Sanders Braves/Falcons 24 hour thingy is more about the media coverage than his actual accomplishment.
he was always primarily a media concoction
30 for 30 Staff: “We’ve got a fuck-ton of reporting footage that we shot back in the day when that Sanders guy did that thing.”
Producers: “Sounds like you can make into something. Can you?”
30 for 30 Staff: [in unison] “Can we? You bet!”
Producers: “Release the starving wolves! STOP! STOP! [takes a collective breath] Release the confetti!”
30 for 30 Staff: [ducks for cover]
Ducks: “WTF?”
The media jerking itself off? Why I never!

Downvoted!!!!! Hmmmmmm….apparently someone DOES like Staten Island.

I found her attractive back in the day. I was into the nerdy type.
In the notorious words of Biggie:
“I like ’em cute, round tits and fat asses
Educated, so I can bust off on they glasses”
Holy shit that brings a tear to the eye.
You say that like Roberto Luongo didn’t announce his retirement today.
I put this to bed before that happened. Also, no ring = no mentions.
No ring? I beg to differ; what was all that rioting about then?
Both sons of mine (14 and 16) are phone-centric isolation-ist kids. TA-DA?
