Your “Just The Tips “Wednesday Evening Open Thread

NFL Nuggets:

  • A regular offseason tradition was upheld last night as a Dallas Cowboy was arrested for a DUI
    • Wide receiver Ventell Bryant was stopped by Tampa police at approximately 2:30 a.m. after he was spotted driving with his headlights off.
      • He failed a field sobriety test and his BAC was measured at .102 and .099.
  • Michael Bennett would like to finish his career in Seattle.
    • After being traded three times in two years, he’d like a chance to wrap up his career where it went best for him.
    • Having had his value driven down over the last three years, he would come fairly cheap to a team in the middle of the salary cap gap.
  • The latest Brady rumour: Tampa!
    • Bruce Arians has had enough of 30-pick seasons, and wants someone who can lead the team now while he drafts & molds an eventual replacement.
      • Dreamboat fits that agenda because he’s Tom Fucking Brady.
    • According to the Tampa Bay Times, “this is the 67-year-old Arians, who has coached Ben Roethlisberger, Peyton Manning and Carson Palmer wanting to complete the set. This is an ownership with 45,000 or more empty seats at Raymond James Stadium to sell for eight Sundays, knowing one guy who can fill them.”
      • They’ve also written about how Florida will also suit Gisele, because she’s Brazilian & Tampa has many diseases common to favelas.
    • If that plan fails, then it’s on to Teddy Bridgewater.
  • An exciting time for draft mavens, as the list of compensatory picks has been released.
    • Compensatory free agents are determined by a formula based on salary, playing time and postseason honors.
      • What it comes down to is how many free agents did a team lose, how well did the player play after leaving, how much did he help that new team, and how much improved was that team’s record versus the previous year.
    • Fifteen clubs qualified for 32 picks, which start at the end of the third round.
      • Because God is cruel, the Patriots lead with four picks & 14 overall, followed by the Broncos, Texans, Vikings, Giants, Eagles and Seahawks with three.

Proposed rule changes!

  • In advance of the annual NFL Spring meeting – which they have not yet indicated they will cancel – there are a number of rules teams would like introduced or changed: (text via nfl.com)
    • The “fourth-and-15 from its own 25” onside kick option (proposed by Philadelphia).
    • Modify the blindside block rule to prevent unnecessary fouls (proposed by Philadelphia).
    • Make permanent the expansion of automatic replay reviews to include scoring plays and turnovers negated by a foul, and any successful or unsuccessful try attempt (proposed by Philadelphia).
    • Restore preseason and regular season overtime to 15 minutes and implement rules to minimize the impact of the OT coin toss (proposed by Philadelphia).
    • Provide the option to the defense for the game clock to start on the referee’s signal if the defense declines an offensive penalty that occurs late in either half (proposed by Miami).
    • Add a “booth umpire” as an eighth game official to the officiating crew (proposed by Baltimore and the Los Angeles Chargers).
      • A “sky judge” according to ESPN, that would use a total field perspective to review calls made on the field.
    • Add a senior technology advisor to the referee to assist the officiating crew (proposed by Baltimore and the Los Angeles Chargers).

Finally, it looks like Gronk’s going to SummerSlam!

Belichick looks thrilled to be amongst all those hew-mons. You know if Trips isn’t there he’s asking Steph what she’s doing after the boat docks.


Today’s Covid-19 fun is brought to you courtesy washyourlyrics.com.

Last night, Dok Zymm made the observation that “Covid-19” has the same lyrical pattern as “Come On Eileen”. Well, thanks to helpful sites on the internet (“The Internet – Not Just For Porn!”), you can see how long that song helps you stay safe.

It gets you right up to the start of the chorus. After that, it was Rabbit Hole Time!

Really, it’s fun to do with just about any song,

although the poster takes on a foreboding meaning the darker your lyrics get,

until you come to the realization that it is in fact you who are the disease.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, officer. I’m washing my hands to prevent disease.”

Oh, and just so you’re warned, DR. Trump will be “speaking to the nation” at 9:00PM ET tonight about his crisis response. Looks like Eric finally has something to do!

I originally had Death’s “Scream Bloody Gore” as the final poster, but the lyrics seemed a tad excessive for a fun little post. I guess I’ve evolved as a person.

I mean, cereal for dinner every day for 3-4 months won’t devolve into Lord of the Flies. Will it?

blaxabbath

You got them honey nut?

-Omar

yeah right

And a pack of Newport.

Back in 2005 I want to say, we lost power from a thunderstorm.

This was in San Pedro mind you which is not NEAR as genteel as El Segundo.
After 8 hours. EIGHT HOURS. It was borderline anarchy.

Also important to remember how much more intelligent we were back then.

This is that part that concerns you.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I feel like I should do an episode of Losers Investment Club where they go pre-quarantine grocery shopping.

blaxabbath

FaceTime meeting with those talking emojis from the iPhone commercial.

yeah right

During the entire events of today I kept thinking of you wonderful, deranged and always tipsy people and realized that right now it’s important to have friends.

Especially long distance and mostly imaginary friends.

Oh you know I’m cooking this Sunday!

I ain’t scared!

Old School Zero

DON’T YOU TOUCH ME but otherwise yeah we’re cool

…what do you mean, “is that because of the virus?”

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

That is one of the best thing about online friends; they can’t infect you with anything!

Old School Zero

Fuck you I got brainworms and I blame Low Commander

blaxabbath

Give us a dish best for the Trump Rally potluck coming to Vegas!

yeah right

Hotdish laced with hemlock for it’s subtle yet piquant notes and inevitable bleeding discharge.

Old School Zero

Appetizer of a large dose edible and a pepto bismal cocktail to make sure it all stays down

yeah right

Says the avatar most familiar with bleeding discharge.

Old School Zero

King Hippo

I mean, put some fritos on it and he will eat it

yeah right

The Sunday Gravy kitchen will remain open to all of you fine folks!

Unless you flew in from Seattle. Or Japan. Or Italy. Or…

Brick Meathook

When I post here I’m usually also whacking off.

blaxabbath

My 79 year old mother who has respiratory problems and isn’t the most sly senior told me she wouldn’t take blaxito on the plane bc of the virus. I told her I didn’t see any reason why either of those two should be on a plane right now. Her response was, if she catches it, she’ll just get a cold and maybe a bad cough.

Brocky

So the nebraska coach left the game with flu symptoms. Entire Nebraska team under quarantine. This is not a drill

blaxabbath

This is a dry run for “the real thing”.

Say what you will about the Deep State; I didn’t think twice about Ebola.

King Hippo

NC State freshman kid and I just spent $200 at Target in like 7 minutes.

Old School Zero

That’s a lot of Sudafed but it’ll payoff once it’s processed

yeah right

Meth will be the new currency.

King Hippo

yeah, is good 2 have a skill

yeah right

Pre-chem is gonna finally pay off yo!

blaxabbath

“$200 into 7 minutes? What is….eleventy-blue?”

– UNC Honors Athletes

Brocky

That’s good hustle?

King Hippo

Remember, the present tense of “Carolina Blue” is Carolina Blows!

scotchnaut

I’m totally watching this tilt again tomorrow. For reasons!

King Hippo

hey, we gotta go with whatever non-incest porn we can find!

herodotus450

Ottawa @ LA Kings might be the last game of the NHL season; not with a bang, but with a whimper

Senor Weaselo

Like teh Hippo mentioned with East Carolina et al, SUNY and CUNY are closed for the next week before “distance learning” for the rest of the semester. We have no idea how that’s going to work with a string ensemble. This was the last movement we worked on tonight.

This year we’ve replaced the usual March Madness with Joker Gas, let’s see if they notice…

ballsofsteelandfury

So, Europe travel ban, eh?

Gee, it’s a good thing I didn’t have a trip to Munich planned for this weekend…

Old School Zero

OH SHIT

PORN

Old School Zero

Covid cancelled the NBA, nailed CPAC, and stopped the flow of greasy eye-talian gangsters on to our sanctified shores? This fucking thing rules!

Brick Meathook

But can it exclude Chinamen and the drunken Irish?

Sure can! The railroads are already built!

blaxabbath

We need to enslave the dwarves to Bring Back Mining Jobs!

Senor Weaselo

They also stimulate (heh) the sex worker industry with a “hi-ho.”

scotchnaut

Cuse is up 22 over UNC. You’re completely fucking welcome.

King Hippo

CHUH CHUH!!

Brocky

So I doubt many of you are were watching the IU Nebraska game.

The apparently short handed Nebraska squad is using some football players for their squad, the qb and an o linemen. The line men is apparently the only 300 lb player in the big 10 tourney. Guy has a headband for his long hair, and the commentary said he looks like PFT Commentator.

The crowd took a collective breathe every time big boy took a shot, but he was 0 for 4. The qb was 0 for 3

herodotus450

Why are they even taking shots?

Brocky

Because society might not exist in 6 months?

Horatio Cornblower

Michael Bennet finishing his career in Seattle makes perfect sense, since the cornavirus currently running amok in that stadium is likely to kill a locker room cancer before it can really get started.
