A Slapdash Wednesday Evening Open Thread

Apologies for the stuntedness, but real life threw up some obstacles today. Besides, with July 4th on Friday, it doesn’t appear anyone at the league is working real hard.

NFL News:

  • Kareem Hunt has gone from shoving women to shoving cops.
    • There are claims this was just something between friends that the cops got involved with, but considering he’s lost half his season due to suspension, he doesn’t have much leeway at this point.
  • Pat Bowlen’s estate will receive his Hall of Fame jacket & ring.
    • Normal Hall rules say the goods only go to living enshrinees, but since he died after being voted in, they had “started the creation process” and so he will get his goods.
    • Hero of the underprivileged Mark Davis has vowed to ensure other enshrinees families, like Ken Stabler & Junior Seau, will get their artifacts as well:

David Baker and the Hall of Fame made the right decision, and I believe it opens the door to reconsidering awarding rings and jackets to the families of all deceased enshrinees. It opens the door to making it right for other families, like Junior Seau’s and Kenny Stabler’s.

Tonight’s sports:

  • MLB:
    • Red Sox at Blue Jays – 7:00PM | Sportsnet
    • Yankees at Mets – 7:00PM | ESPN / TSN2
    • D-backs at Dodgers – 10:00PM | Sportsnet360 / MLBN
  • Fútbol:
    • Copa América Brasil 2019:
      • Chile vs. Perú – 8:00PM | TELMUN / TSN3
    • CONCACAF Gold Cup Soccer 2019:
      • Jamaica vs. U.S. – 9:30PM | FS1 / UNI / TSN

Part of the hassle is that I caught a rock in the windshield yesterday while driving to sell beer. A $300 expense made worse by only making $20 in tips. Not a great business model.

yeah right

Well hello there everyone!

How are you this pseudo-quasi-kinda-halfass-mini Friday night?

I am higher than Major Matt Mason.

I sure as hell hope everybody has their meat.

yeah right

Oh yeah.

Got my meat.

Good to see you Brother Moose.

I did! We had sirloin steaks tonight; cooked on the grill. I have consistently found sirloin to be an easier cut to cook properly than all others. The flavor is never going to beat a perfectly done filet or ribeye, but it’s much easier to get right.

2
yeah right

And conducive to a tasty dinner. Very accepting of flavor.
Makes a killer pan sauce.

1
yeah right

Diatribe:

Your standard overly produced production protein, I.E beef, pork, chicken has been so thoroughly homogenized both for safety and sales reasons that your average fresh steak has less flavor than a slice of Oscar Meyer Bologna.

We got so goddamn scared by food safety that we forgot that the British used to “dry age” their beef for months.

They hung their game foul for weeks.
Weeks!

I think the trip-tip is the most fool-proof cut to cook. Just season it (and there’s a ton of ways to do this) and put it under the broiler for 25 minutes, fatty side up first, turn at 13 minutes, remove and let sit wrapped in foil for 10 minutes. Slice cross-grain; you have rare at one end and medium-well at the other. Is a trip-tip a roast? I say no!

I cook a mean rib-eye and New York steak, stove-top in a cast iron skillet then finished in the oven. Timing is everything though, depending on thickness.

2
yeah right

This Guy.

Cooks!

I’ve spent a lot of time this week off clearing heavy brush off our property, (OK, maybe some of it is the technically the neighbors’ property), and painting the house and it’s been hot and humid the whole time, (for CT), so I’m currently on my second one of these and dear Lord I can already feel them.

Ah yes, Tree House Brewing Company. The only brewer whose products Elisha has ever expressed any interest in trying.

Just found out Tchaikovsky, composer of the 1812 Overture, wasn’t even born until the 1840s. What a sneaky little bastard.

Well, after being a staunch defender, I am officially ready for the Padres to fire Andy Green as Manager.

So how are you all doing tonight?

us Commentists would make fine managerial replacements

Hookers AFTER the game, blow BEFORE the game. Is better for energy levels that way.

The man, (I assume; I don’t judge), kept the Padres relevant until at least 7/3. You should be melting cannon to pour into molds to build statues of him on every intersection in San Diego.

So I have a new dog. She was lying in the middle of the road, dehydrated and seemingly starved. But she jumped her ass into the truck and and ate the hell out of some cheeseburgers. I called the number on her tags, but so far no response.

I can trace the address from the rabies tag and license, but not until friday. So for now I have a new friend I guess unless the owners call me back.

She’s very sweet. Shit I have to go buy dog food tomorrow I guess. Or maybe just buy more cheeseburgers.

I’m considering doing Zipcar since I don’t have a car anymore, hate Lyft when I rarely use it, and can’t ride a bike.

0
King Hippo

They say one never forgets, but I rode my bike like a fiend from age 5 through 15, all over Charlotte. I tried again as an adult (around 35) and I couldn’t make it 10 feet on flat ground.

0
Unsurprised

I need to learn before I turn 40

0
King Hippo

learning in one’s 30s (much like skiing) would make a damned fine accomplishment. Plus I didn’t think they allowed you in Portland if you didn’t bike?

1
Unsurprised

I got a waiver

2
BugEyedBoo

If you want to learn to ride a bike, do it this way: make the seat low enough that you can get pretty flatfooted on the ground, take off the pedals, and just push yourself around with your feet fast enough that you can coast for a little bit. Eventually you’ll be coasting as much as you want. Then put the pedals back on. Viola, you’re riding a bike.

If you have to teach a kid, that way is a lot better than chasing a bicycle and holding the seat. Unless you like yelling at your kid while running yourself into a heart attack.

Start with me never learning to ride a bike. Then being too cheap to use Lyft like everyone else does.

FUN HIPPO FACT – I have never ordered an Uber or a Lyft. I don’t even have the apps on my phone. Once every 2-3 years, I will get a cab (and the cabbies bitch holy hell about Uber and Lyft).

Was gonna go with your Portland address, but you’re the boss.

It’s 8:44 EST! I should have been in bed at least an hour ago! I thought you guys had my back!

Oh baby, you’re so soft… What are you doing tomorrow?

Bad news for all us fatties; burying Lorenzen is likely to increase the mass of the Earth enough to increase its gravitational pull, thereby making all of us fatter.

HAD NOT CONSIDERED THAT.

What with Jared Lorenzen passing away, the Keebler Elves need not worry about being pelted with wads of dough by “The Pillsbury Throwboy” ever again.
