Slight Emergence Into Reality – Saturday Open Thread

I actually turned on my teevee box these past two days, and boy howdy, did it feel weird.  Actual sportsball content!  Plus a veritable marathon to come this afternoon.  This will certainly not heal our land, but I will take the brief interlude of distraction.

What else goes on in our sheltered, shut-in lives?

I was slightly annoyed by Donks WOO!!! going back to the WR well in Round 2, but realize my judgment is likely clouded by my much stronger irritation in how much of a bust our last Paedo State receiver pick has been.  But then to get Cushenberry in Round 3?  ALL IS FORGIVEN, HAIL TO OUR EQUINE LORD AND SAVIOUR.

The QB Jakes continue to slide precipitously.  Poor fuckers.  When will good looking, athletic white guys ever catch a break (smh)?

Still some small school OTs on the board, and a developmental guy could make lots of sense for Denver.  We can likely afford a redshirt year, especially with expanded rosters coming in 2020 (assuming we can has gamez at all).

Pretend Everton continues to charge forward.  We brought Lucas Digne back to the squad for a 2nd act, and he’s been quite tidy.  DCL and Mason Holgate are beginning to slow down now, and that makes me sad.  But fuck, I need them to make it to their testimonials.  What a special, simulated day that will be.  About time to finish my fixture away to Carlo Ancelotti’s (yes, he went back) Chelski.  A win likely takes me back to the top of the table.

Still haven’t won Shempions League A or the fucking cursed Caribou Cup, but we did win last season’s FA Cup in an absolute cracker of a tie with Arsenal.  Nil-nil after normal time, each side scored TWICE in extras.  Including a Leroy Sane breakaway, full-length of pitch charge to equalize for the Mighty Blues.  At the very, very death.  Whistle blew right after the ball came back into play.  And I won on pennos, thanks to the also slowing down Jordan Pickford.  He’s now playing like 40% of the time, I brought in a hotshot Chilean kid who somehow has an even bigger chip on his shoulder.

James Madisson joins at the NYD start of the January transfer window.  Should be the final piece of a real Prem/Shempions A contender.  Will I stay up all night to find out?  MAYBE.

Enjoy the Draft, and whatever else gets you through your Unabomber Bunker Day.

Reclusive, vulgar Broncos fan. Also a proud fookin' Evertonian. Likely dropped on my head repeatedly as a small child. [Insert George Carlin quote followed by thoughtful nod.]

I made two Tuscan loaves today. 16 hours total. Most of that time the dough was rising, and I was sleeping or drinking.

I am glad you didn’t say “pinched.”

Mr. Ayo

I just heard someone in the NFL is looking for a huge slot.

And they found one in the 7th round!

“What was your mom doing in the seventh round?”

Mr. Ayo

She was graded undraftable but ole Bill couldn’t help himself.

I would have thought he would have “drafted her gash” sooner, maybe the ninth pick in the sixth round would have been nice.

If they don’t play any college or pro football this autumn, do they still do a 2021 NFL Draft?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Yes! (ratings).

FS1 is running live ponies. Money has been won.

“Christ, What An Asshole” is the third party that America needs in these difficult times.

If those brave patriots were around in the 1st Republican Debate of 2016, we wouldn’t’ve been in this mess.

Watching “The Purge” right now. Not for entertainment; mostly for scouting and planning in case this year gets any worse.

Unsurprised

First Purge and Purge: Election Night say more about politics than the last 30 years of bullshit from professionals ever could.

BC Dick

I hope you weren’t planning on being entertained.

Are there the dulcet tones of Tony! Toni! Toné?

Bengals GM Mike Brown: “I think this draft is doing pretty good. We got our QB. We got him weapons. We improved or defense.”
Bengals Coach Taylor: “What about blockers who can keep our Franchise QB alive and well?”
Bengals GM Mike Brown: “…son of a bitch! I knew we forgot something!”

Unsurprised

They never needed any when Ds were content to let Dalton throw to them.
