NFL Nuggets:
- The NFL managed to accomplish the impossible last night & turned the Lions into pitiable victims.
- Trey Flowers is risking a fine by stating the obvious: “I didn’t think hands to the chest was a penalty.”
- Lions safety Tracy Walker was all out of fucks in his post-game presser:
- “Extremely pissed off right now,” Walker said. “It is what it is. Disappointed. Hurt. We had that game. I’m going to say the same s—. We should have won it. It is what it is, though. Got to bounce back.”
- “Detroit vs. Everybody,” he said. “I’m saying it. Detroit vs. Everybody. It’s awful.”
- Jerry Jones gave an answer that has NFL Kremlinologists studying what words mean when asked about Jason Garrett.
- It both says Garrett is not in danger, but if he were available lots of teams would want him.
- Kinda like how your mom would say you were the handsomest boy in school, and that any girl would be lucky to have you.
What I see versus what my mom saw. - But none ever do…
- Kinda like how your mom would say you were the handsomest boy in school, and that any girl would be lucky to have you.
- In full:
- It both says Garrett is not in danger, but if he were available lots of teams would want him.
“I have felt that we have a lot invested in Jason Garrett,” Jones said. “He’s evolved into what I think is a top coach. He would be a very sought-after coach if he were out here in the open market. There are a lot of pluses there. He brings a lot to the table.”
- The Browns are being sued by the fan they wrongly ID’d as the one who threw beer on a Tennessee Titan during a Browns home loss to start the season.
- The fan is question, Eric Smith, is seeking a public retraction from the Browns, in addition to financial damages.

Got the notice from BeerBrother – gettin’ to go to the box this Sunday for the Earl Thomas return/revenge game. Yay free beer!
Evening lizard people. Win 4, win 5, go to Houston, beat Verlander, who is beatable. Do not go to Game 7 Against Cole.
And “tip” a curveball or two, and then on the third “tipped” one put it in an ear flap.

Solid album name.
Let us not forget that this is the Washington baseball team and there is a reason there hasn’t been a World Series in D.C. since before the Civil War. They are quite capable of losing this game (and series) in spectacular fashion. Also, let’s not forget that these are the Montreal Expos.

One thing I do believe is UBI will absolutely be necessary at some point. When they figure out automated trucking, it will add millions to unemployment. However long it takes to figure out, it’s coming, and there won’t be replacement jobs on that scale, nor jobs with that level of Independence and earning potential.
yes, absolutely. I don’t know how to best get people around to accepting that, politically.
Guillotines?
It’s crazy that only recently have people figured out that *everyone* should be getting a cut of all the productivity increases made possible by computers and robots.
I’ve tried explaining to other people that automation’s primary function can be simply reducing stress and workload on a population and not simply to improve some asshole’s bottom line, and am looked at like a fucking psycho.
That’s because you’re not an asshole.
Whoa whoa whoa. That is the essence of communism.

It won’t, until the robots rise up and start hurting people so they can’t steal the robots jobs.

Anyone else watching the debate?
I’m debating having a drink, turning this game off, and going to bed.

I mean, I like Sen. Harris, but I am a realist and see that Sen. Warren has this thing on lockdown. I am totes cool with her. Will read about it tomorrow, I guess. Still too many weirdos on stage.

They should treat this like the final stage of the Tour de France and bust out the champagne flutes on the field.
Walk up to bat sipping champagne, stop to put the flute down, then step into the batter’s box. The glove boy could then bring the flute when they get on base.

How do you not pull the starting pitcher when he struggles like this in the first inning?! This is a MUST WIN! You should have you’re #5 starter ready to go.
Never mind. CBSsports dot com sucks balls.

Sanders looks like he’s about to attack someone.
The Post already figured that out.

Which one is giving skip the “Ole bullshit”?
Every position player on first base side.
Love that exchange when Vaughn throws his first pitch between the heads of his manager and coach and destroys the wooden sign behind the plate:
“Nice velocity.”

This is not a good week to be a guy named Dakota.
THANK YOU WARREN! I’ve been saying that for years!
Its not insurance. Its the cost!

Yeah. Unless they’re breaking out a blackboard with the numbers showing a shortfall, they’re just talking out of their ass.
Series. Blouses.
All these Democratic candidates remind me of the St. Louis Cardinals, right now.
Better break out the auto-erotic cat, because that’s all Hippo may have left by midnight.

Once again, candidates on debate stage need to wear shock collars.

“Actually I want to…” (electrical surge) “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”
I’d just like to remind everyone that “The Mighty Roseanne” was so full of herself that she was kicked out of her own reboot. Or booted out of her own kickcom. Whatever…
Less full of herself, more batshit insane
Its both.
“Roseanne” was a wonderful sit-com. And her personal life was a fucking car crash the whole time. If it wasn’t for”Seinfeld”, that show would’ve left a much bigger footprint.
…I don’t know who that was
Swear to God, I was thinking the same thing. Couldn’t they have keep their name on the screen of the unknowns?

He’s not as good as Revis or Deion, and I wouldn’t give that much for either of those guys.
RRRRRRRRRAM IT!! do have a very short contention window (really think it’s shut already), so I guess they are pushing all the chips in,

You can keep Warren G. Harding, like he kept his teenaged mistress.
That was a huge haul for Ramsey.
Dirt 500s have won. I guess that’s who I’d want to win it all now.
Anyway my favorite thing this week has been fake woke types saying Bernie’s black and white civil right march photos don’t mean he’s not a bigot now and then being responded to with screenshots of said people using slurs like 2 months ago. The internet is nothing if not entertaining.
Ah, the “How do they react to awkward moments” test.
Jesus, who is the third-rate-carpet-barn ad agency that came up with those XFL teams and logos?
Sanders can be Warren’s Secretary of Festivus!
Okay, Andrew Yang is not wearing a tie. He’s lost my vote!
Did Obama’s tan suit also piss you off? 😀
Nothing I want to happen is going to happen so I’m just hoping there’s copious amounts of shitting on Biden along the way
You’re cool with Warren, aren’t ya? She’s putting this race quickly to bed, it certainly seems like.
In a crowded field, being nearly everyone’s 2nd choice ain’t a bad thing.
Warren is already starting to shift closer to the center which I was expecting anyway. Bernie’s surgery is almost certainly the death knell, and she’s as close as we’re likely to get even if it’s not really close at all. In a field of traditional Democrats, she’d easily be the best choice, but man do I not trust any of these fuckers to not start spouting off about the free market solving racism and shit.
They’re in Columbus. They couldn’t get the Ohio State Marching Band?! (To all Michigan fans, I apologize for equating “Hail the Victors” to Trump’s Fight Song. I choose this one for the boos.)

“I’m a hemophiliac!” Cessa cried, and the Astros batter turned away in disgust, he wound up and hurled a pitch that drilled his opponent right in the back.
I am interested in the battle to become Sen. Warren’s VP. The three main contenders – Sen. Harris (her bumper sticker remains on the back of my Nissan Rogue, feeling very lonely), Mayor Boot Edge Squared, and Sen. Booker.
Or it will be somebody who isn’t running. I just would bet on it having some diversity, in skin colour or in the rainbow. You know?
/also, PLEASE WIN ONE GODDAMNED GAME, #BFIB
I feel your pain with the Red Birds. As for Warren’s VP, it would be someone to balance the ticket. So I’m thinking moderate to convince the people who may not like Democratic Socialism to not stay at home this go around.
Booker is the most “capitalism friendly” outreach person, though Warren herself is definitely not a socialist. Which is good, has the good 90% of progressivism, without the “what the shit are y’all hippies really talking about” 10% that makes folks tune the lefties out.
Well, she needs to work on her message because its sounds a wee bit socialistic to me.
Be patient, Conservative Magical Pony. Her path to the nomination is a two-step. First, she has to peel enough “activist” votes out of the Sanders camp. Then, she has to pull in some party loyalist types, away from Biden and those who supported other “left but not quite Warren-left” candidates. Like me.
I think she’s a pragmatist, and will try to appeal to all good-faith corners of our Big Tent. Like FDR, she sees ideas to save capitalism from its worst impulses.
Kamala get’s the AG spot if Warren wins because you rational folks deserve good things.
This comment is code for, “double woman ticket won’t fly”.
Which is weird, since “Hot Girl on Girl Action” is a very popular thing over the last few decades.
She would be an excellent AG, tearing apart the various criminal webs of this fascist administration.
Though I like the idea of an all-woman ticket. REALLY brings out the contrast in tone from the fascists.
SANDERS/WARREN 2020
“If he dies…he dies.”
“Trump announced as Dems VP candidate.”
Well shit, there’s nothing in the rule book that says you can’t run against yourself.
Quick Debate Preview:
Since they’re in Ohio, I’ll be looking to see if any try to plant a seed or a olive branch towards any Republicans or Independents fleeing from Trump. As for the candidates:
– 9 Unnamed Background Characters: If any of them can not only get momentum but build up it. We’ve had a few that have gotten our attention, but then we find they’re all flash and no substance.
– Joe Biden: He’s gone from Frontrunner to SNL Skit. Its sad he couldn’t run in 2016, but he had a good reason to run and now he’s picked the wrong year to run as a Moderate. My question is if he’ll be nice Uncle Joe or if he’ll defend his views but without sounding annoyed or angry.
– Elizabeth Warren: She’s the clear favorite, so the big question is if she’ll try to get the moderates’ support or if she’ll continue to be the standard barrier for change. Plus how will she react now that she’s the one getting the blue spiny shells thrown at her.
– Bernie Sanders: Like Biden, he picked the wrong year to run. 2016 was his year, but for reasons fair and otherwise, it didn’t happen, and now not only is he not the voice for change, now he has serious health issues to answer to. I’m glad he’s okay, but short of reenacting all the Training Montages in the “Rocky” and “Creed” movies, it’ll be a dark cloud over his campaign.
I know a million dickheads like Pete Buttigieg. I wouldn’t piss on them if they were on fire, let alone vote for them.
We’ve talked about this before-please, please put your dick back inside your pants when you venture outside!
Look, I got a lot of shit from the nun, the officers, my parents, and the judge for this. I don’t need none of yours!

Cardale Jones? Matt McGloin? That’s not an XFL draft, that’s just a barely perceptible breeze.
