Your “Oh God – There’s Even Less On” Tuesday Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

• Glover Quin is retiring after 10 seasons with the Lions & Texans.
  • He started 156 of 159 games, and made 24 interceptions during his career.
  • Despite only playing in Detroit for 6 seasons, Quin finished his career second all time among Lions defensive backs in tackles with 423.

• In town for the ESPYs, Gronk & TAWMMY had a throwing session, fueling speculation the big man might not be completely done.
  • “I mean I can’t really say how I’m going to feel about it when the games start rolling around and everything.”

I’m sorry.

I looked at tonight’s menu offerings and was, quite frankly, disappointed.

It’s not like there aren’t important things that happened on today’s date in history:

• 1850 – U.S. President Zachary Taylor dies after eating raw fruit and iced milk.
• 1868 – The 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution is ratified.
• 1943 – World War II: The Allied invasion of Sicily begins.
• 1993 – The Parliament of Canada passes the Nunavut Act leading to the 1999 creation of Nunavut.

I mean, I have a couple of tags devoted to such endeavours. However, no matter what I tried,

I just couldn’t get anything onto the page that seemed of a verifiable “quality”.

So, please entertain yourselves

while I’m off selling beer.

I suppose we can all agree to disagree.
