NFL Nuggets:
- The Panthers have made Christian McCaffrey the highest-paid running back in league history.
- He signed a four-year extension worth up to $64 million.
- Making his deal worth more than Zeke’s $14.5 million per year.
- He signed a four-year extension worth up to $64 million.
- Former NFL QB Tarvaris Jackson has died in a car crash in Alabama.
- After his NFL career ended – partially due to a domestic violence allegation – he went on to become a college QB’s coach.
Tarvaris Jackson was a beloved teammate, competitor, and Seahawk. He will be deeply missed. So heartbroken by the news of his passing and sending our condolences to his family and friends. We love you forever @7tjackson

- A Jim Irsay fever dream has led the Colts to amend their logos.
- They have kept the horseshoe & classic font, but they have also added new font & a new logo – a “C” with grommets.
- And the interior of the “C” is shaped like Indiana.
- At least they brought back the bucking horse.

New secondary logo.
New wordmark.

- Bill Belichick held a virtual press conference, where he treated the departure of Tom Brady like it was a loss to the Dolphins.
- “Water under the bridge,” Belichick said, via multiple reporters. “We’re really focused on this season and trying to look at our opportunities and make decisions and plan and prepare to be as competitive as we can this year.”
- At least he didn’t ask us to buy into Cincinnati as being a threat.

An ambulance just took my next door neighbor away in a big plastic bag.
She’s part of the 7:00 Main St. Band.
This shit ain’t funny no more.
Damn.
Someone I work with was one of the people who thought the whole thing was a panic over a flu until the neighbor’s kids showed up and started packing up his belongings. Now she seems more scared than anyone else I know. Getting harder for people to turn a blind eye as it starts dropping bodies in every neighborhood. What I’m worried about is that resistance to the lockdown is building in Michigan while the positive tests dipped during the holiday. So I expect people to get defiant even as the bodies are piling up.
holy shit
Quarantine cookies? Well, I suppose I could make some….
(oven timer goes off)
Quarantine cookies! FUCK YEAH!!!
(soon, lying on the floor covered in crumbs)
WHERE ALL ME COOKIES GO?
Fucking cookies are gone, man.
The only cookies left are the ones WordPress keeps asking for.
I love that the globally recognized Version isn’t the readily available HD screenshot but instead the first one that appeared of some dude’s filthy TV
RIP Rick May. Do some rocket jumps and barrel rolls in the great beyond.

Watching Seoul Station and Train to Busan back to back to prepare myself for the next covid mutation
Next watch Burning and then Parasite. And then maybe Snowpiercer to take the edge off.
Burning is the only one of these I haven’t seen
It’s quite good.
With all the games they are showing, why aren’t they showing the classics?
Epic in Miami. Ice Bowl. Freezer Bowl. Fog Bowl. Super Bowls XXXIV and below. ’01 World Series. ’75 World Series.
If we’re going virtual sports, lets go all out. Steel Curtain vs. 1980s 49ers or 2000s Patriots. Mid-10s Golden State vs. Mid-90s Chicago. ’27 Yankees vs. ’76 Reds.
At least replay Appalachian State beating Michigan. They do that, then they can replay both Steelers Wildcard Wins over the Bengals.
I remember MLB did a 64-team simleague tournament in 2003-04 or so. ’27 Yanks beat the ’76 Reds in the final, after the Reds dispatched the ’98 Yanks in the semis.
I can see that. ’76 Reds is great, but ’27 Yankees were mythical. All Yankees fans would say “Sweep!”, but honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if it went to a Game 6.
I’m trying to find it somewhere, but no luck. I remember it was like March Madness where every team was represented at least once, so for instance the still-Devil Rays had always been shit so their best squad was one of the 16 seeds.
It’s a beer night. 8% to 10.3% to 7.7% (so far).
ALC/VOL or BAC?
Touché
Alicia Witt AND Amy Smart? In the same episode of Justified? Localized entirely within my kitchen!?
AND (checks imdb notes) Karolina Wydra !?
What about Katarina Witt?
Didn’t she get shot by Jonathon Pryce’s flunky in Ronin at some skating exhibition/competition in France?
Heh, I was just about to say something like that
I just never could understand how she could be such a good skater with them big giant tiddies. Figured they would throw her balance off. Gal I dated once had gotten breast enlargement surgery, A to D cup, and when I asked about it, she said that, indeed, it threw her off balance for a few years. Maybe if you have them from puberty onwards it’s different.
There is nothing about Justified that does not rule the cosmos.
LOL

I still want to go out for junk food like a dumb shit.
Order some. Support local business!
Also, 7-11 delivers.
I look forward to watching the Coronavirus episode of “Dark Side of the Ring”.
BTW, I think the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (the one for self-employed) will finally be deployed in a week or two. It’s probably going to be based on your states’ Disaster Unemployment Assistance, if you want to start looking that up.
I am digging God’s sense of humor.

Is (most of) the entire audio from Homestar Runner on the internets now? Yes. Playlist from when I was 12? Made.
It’s been a month since my and other somewhat rational states went into lockdowns. If capitalism worked, we would be drowning in a variety of better types of masks, gloves, full-body PPE, and ventilators, all fashionably conceived and optimally designed by Apple and Tesla and Louis Vuitton in a range of prices.
Relevant quarantine survival tip: I just recently discovered the Twitch channel that shows nothing but full MXC episodes.
That was my winter break companion
Remember that WI election last week, where the Supreme Court ruled against postponing it or accepting late absentee ballots? You know, to ensure the Trump/GOP-approved State Supreme Court Justice got re-elected?
Fucker lost to a liberal. NOVEMBER GONNA BE TIGHT Y’ALL.
Good work by Wisconsin voters. It’s ridiculous that they had to risk their lives to do it, though.
“Heroic” is not hyperbolic.
Trump isn’t going to outright cancel the election. But he and the GOP will cheat like hell. They’re already trying to kill off the US Postal Service.
They’ve been trying for decades. You know who’s not going to let this stand? Jeff Fucking Bezos. He and Amazon would not exist without the USPS and its stupidly favorable de facto subsidies to those fuckers.
The enemy of my enemy etc.
[Insert the Godzilla ‘Let them fight’ gif here]
Give Bezos credit for one thing: he knows what Trump wants from him, and he isn’t giving it. If he ordered the WaPo to “be nice” to the president, you would never hear another word against Amazon or its deal with the USPS.
They risked their lives over a state supreme court seat. Folks gonna crawl through broken glass to get IMPOTUS out.
Whiskey? Check.
Beer? Check.
Better Call Saul? You bet your butt.
Let’s rock.
Oh, now you’re gonna make me pissed off and call DirecTV again. Those fuckburgers are really pissing me off. I can’t even access the DVR for last week’s episode at this point.
I’m using “fuckburgers” next time I have to complain to the water company.
I try to help where I can.
Getting into the tail end of season two of a Breaking Bad rewatch. This universe is so fucking good. About the only thing that can rival Sopranos for me.
The list every woman I’ve dated tabulated.
Beats a tally of Shots Hit | Shots Missed
Interestingly, on my list of women, the correlation between “you rule” and “you suck” is 100%.
Sweet, lovely Jane.
That #1 of Kenny’s Painful Eliminations of The Day was awesome!
Just tryin to stay entertained…
Don’t forget your secretary, Miss Stein.
Indeed.
WORK, WORK, WORK, WORK, WORK!
I see a pair of works.
These things are defective.
Rams signed two kickers today (Greg the Leg Zeuerlein went to JerrahWorld).
One of them is a Kosovar who played in the CFL (Hamilton). I am rooting for him. KosoCanucks are rare.
TAKE THAT, REST OF NFL.
One of the best jokes on The Bodega Boys was when they described her life as a real-life Tyler Perry movie.
It’s snowing, but I’m considering that moist.
Found a funny:
2000: I don’t want no scrubs
2020: I’m actually gonna need all those scrubs.
I miss sports.
So does Ryan Shazier.
We will limp along though…..
I look forward to MXC Mondays being a regular thing going forward. I love them!
Responding to earlier thread; due to DoD VPN firewall I am unable look at DFO during the workday. I enjoyed that Hot Roads series a lot too, and will probably re-watch sooner rather than later. I liked the fact that there wasn’t a bunch of contrived drama like you see in so many other car shows (although I don’t mind too much when Clarkson, May, and Hammond do it; it’s part of their gimmick).
I strongly dislike the Irsays. Being a Baltimore native this shouldn’t be surprising of course. But I will leave it to my friend JJFozz to really tear into it. Both literally and figuratively.
I guess the ‘E’ in WWE stands for essential. Who knew?
Kudos to CMC’s agent, got the most per year and limited it to 4 years where he can cash in on one final deal, assuming of course he can still walk after four years of rebuild.
