Your “Sure, Okay” Tuesday Evening Open Thread

NFL Noise:

  • It looks like Cam Newton is staying in Carolina.  
    • Rapoport reports that new head coach Matt Rhule would prefer to start the season with Newton under center.
    • There may be a strategy to draft Newton’s eventual replacement, but for right now it’s better for the organization to keep Newton & avoid the dead-cap hit by offloading him.
  • Because nothing makes sense anymore, the Giants are “open” to trading their first-round, 4th-overall pick.
    • The working theory is that because the Giants already have a QB & RB, they can trade with someone who desperately wants one of either & needs to move up in the draft.
    • But because it’s the Giants, the fear is that they will end up picking whomever Peter King most recently had chili with.
  • If the league eventually adds a 17th game to the schedule, it will likely be an interconference game.
    • A likely conversation to come up at today’s next CBA session in New York on Wednesday.
    • Using the NFL’s scheduling formula, that game would probably be a team from one of the other three divisions in the opposing conference that finished in the same position during the prior year.

Don’t forget – there’s another Democratic debate tonight! 8:00PM ET on all your CBS stations.

@Hippo, I have figured out the Wolven sort’s roundball problem methinks. We’re a team that wants to run and push tempo. We’re pretty good at it when we have fresh legs. But we’re very poorly conditioned for that style. No stamina. It tires us out. So then we make bad decisions on both ends. Bad defense, bad movement on offense, bad lazy passing, jacking up the heave rather than running a set offense.

Always seems to happen around the 13-10 minute mark. We become a step too slow.

But at least Wake beat Duke.

Brick Meathook

I’m reading a book about the Battle of Chancellorsville. Stonewall Jackson has already been shot by his own troops but Fighting Joe Hooker hasn’t been clocked in the head with a wooden post yet.

Go back to your debate I’ll tell you how it ends.

How It Ends
The Japanese win and invent rap music

WCS

I once read a book about the USSR’s experiences during World War II, and the ending was pretty crazy when Led Zeppelin invaded Berlin in 1945 and John Paul Jones personally broke Hitler’s neck.

Brick Meathook

Wow, that’s like when Sonny & Cher napalmed that Vietnamese girl.

Senor Weaselo

Don’t forget… they got her babe.

Redshirt

That last part was revealing:
Steyer, Biden and Buttigieg are personable and approachable.
Sanders and Warren are on a script.
Klobuchar was about 15 seconds away from talking about why she has a onion on her belt, which was the style at the time.
And I’m pretty certain Bloomberg was asleep when they asked the question.

ballsofsteelandfury

Agreed. I thought Steyer did pretty well. It seems the Democratic Party doesn’t want him there. Just like Bernie.

WCS

TRUE FACT: Klobuchar still refers to Wisconsin as “Morganville,” which was the style at the time.

SonOfSpam

Mayor Bloomberg’s quote was inspiring. INSPIRING FOR ME TO POOP ON.

SonOfSpam

“My motto is from Nelson Mandela. He famously said ‘GET ME THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!'”

Senor Weaselo

Timon: “Nothing, what’s a motto with you?”

SonOfSpam

Never read that play. Shakespeare was quite the wit.

Senor Weaselo

I mean, it’s technically Shakespeare I was quoting… Hamlet with lions counts, right?

Redshirt

Klobuchar has one long as motto.

ballsofsteelandfury

My biggest misconception: I only do anal.
My motto: I like big butts and I cannot lie.

I love Sanders’ take on Palestinians and it is absolutely gonna fuck him sideways in this country

Senor Weaselo

There are, in my opinion, two actually viable solutions. One is a three-state solution in which nobody gets Jerusalem, which becomes a free and independent city-state.

The other is anthropological omnicide—all of humanity dies. I fear that this is the more likely option.

ballsofsteelandfury

That’s a great idea!

To clarify, I’m talking about the first one…

Redshirt

This election cycle is a nice microcosm to why I don’t go Democractic; because they always snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

A Democrat can walk into a bar the day before Valentine’s Day holding a bag of money and their book entitled “Eleven Different Paths to the G-Spot” and they’ll still leave the bar with no one.

ballsofsteelandfury

So so true.

SonOfSpam

Part of the problem is part of the reason we are who we are; namely, Democrats think through things and look at all different angles, usually to a ridiculous degree. It results in changing allegiances, changing ideas, and inconsistent arguments. In general, I think that’s a good thing. However, it’s easier to win elections if your voters agree to “HURR DURR HER E-MAILS AND ABORTIONS AND MAGA”

Brick Meathook

Or you can nominate a candidate so awful that she loses to Donald Trump.

Democrats: Throw money at it!

SonOfSpam

C’mon…it takes money, and the GOP is all too eager to pull money from important scientific shit like this. So yeah, money is part of the solution, just like it is with the military.

ballsofsteelandfury

Part of. They didn’t say anything about the other part.

SonOfSpam

Money = smart science guys + well-equipped facilities. Their main point is that Trump did away with those specific positions and reallocated all kinds o’ cash for a border wall.

ballsofsteelandfury

True

I am genuinely surprised he hasn’t blamed the Coronavirus on Mexico for that reason.

Bernie and Warren: Too left to get elected
Klobuchar: That haircut won’t win votes.
Steyer: Speaks sense but no one cares.
Bloomberg: Should run as an Independent instead of Democrat.
Biden: Fuck all y’all! YEE HAW!
Buttigieg: Will America really elect a gay man?

Fuck all y’all is good enough for me. Is hopeless, though.

Redshirt

Bernie: Way too left
Warren: Too left and not authentic. Acts entitled.
Klobuchar: Too unknown.
Steyer: Sanity left this election a long time ago.
Bloomberg: What Trump would’ve been if he didn’t pull the racist card.
Biden: Too damaged goods.
Buttigieg: If he wasn’t homosexual, he’d be elected in a walkover.

ballsofsteelandfury

Yup

SonOfSpam

Bootyjudge is smart and has the right disposition, but I don’t think his biggest negative is what body part he prefers to gobble, rather the fact that his experience in politics is that of a smallish city mayor. Plus, he would be the youngest-ever prez by 3-4 years. Combine his age and inexperience and that’s a pretty big negative.

ballsofsteelandfury

I would have no problem voting for him. I think the rural US would.

King Hippo

rurals ain’t voting Dem no matter what, they’d rather starve from Herr Fuhrer’s tariffs than see any rights for wimmen, lazy blacks, or daggum queers smh

“Mr. Vice President, I’ve had enough of your shit, sir. Let’s go to break.”

Maybe it’s the residual trade deadline smell in the air, but I think it would be vastly more entertaining, and that’s what this is really about, isn’t it?, if the political parties could trade candidates, reps, and senators back and forth. Include some future pork barrel considerations to sweeten the deal.

Gratliff

Gotta think being against marijuana legalization is disqualifying at this point. You’ll lose states on that alone.

Redshirt

Klobuchar, Buttigieg and Biden needs to go backstage, draw straws and the winner come back alone as the lone Moderate Democratic candidate. The other two can thumb-wrestle for Vice President.

Net Worth less than $999,999,999.99? Capable of Good.
Net Worth greater than $1,000,000,000.00? Irredemabily Evil.

With respect to the Jizziants-the skinny out there is that there are a number of teams that are jockeying for qb’s and New York would benefit from a tradedown so that they can get an OL and an impact Edge defender. Both positions are weaknesses for the team and this year’s crop is deep at those two spots. The onion belt in the ointment is that 69 (goddamn it!) year-old GM Dave Gettleman has never, ever traded down in his entire career. Fuckballs!
