Your “Seriously?!” Wednesday Evening Open Thread

NFL Noise:

  • Despite nothing new to broadcast, Amazon has re-upped its broadcast deal with the NFL.
    • They will continue to stream 11 Thursday-night games, with the added bonus of a late-season, Saturday exclusive game to broadcast.
      • A league concession is that the game will also be broadcast over-the-air in both teams’ home market.
  • The Falcons have declined the fifth-year option on Takkarist McKinley, meaning he will become a free agent at the end of the 2020 season.
    • A tail-off in production after two strong years meant the Falcons were ready to cut bait and try to draft their next big thing.
  • Bashaud Breeland had a bad night Tuesday, waking up Wednesday facing a slew of misdemeanour charges.
    • He was arrested & charged with resisting arrest, having alcohol in a motor vehicle with the seal broken, having an open container of beer or wine in a motor vehicle, possession of 28 grams or less of marijuana or 10 grams of hash, and driving without a license.
      • According to ESPN, in searching Breeland’s car, the officer found a blunt weighing 1.3 grams, other marijuana weighing about 3.2 grams, two open bottles of Corona beer and an open bottle of Patron.
        • Plus, they had to draw a taser & then a gun to get him to stop trying to leave the scene.

Finally, people aren’t done trying to hasten the Packers-Rodgers divorce.

  • The talking armpits at nfl.com come down Peter King (50/50) on the whole affair.
    • Some say it’s smart, like they tried with Rodgers under Favre, and more recently with Alex Smith mentoring both Colin Kaepernick & Patrick Mahomes.
    • The others say that it’s too long a mentor period, and guarantees one of the two is done sooner than expected in Green Bay.
  • Olivia Munn Brett Favre speculates that Rodgers will eventually play somewhere else.
    • It’s not Aaron’s job to mentor Jordan Love,” Favre said. “I guarantee you [the Love pick] got the gears going in Aaron’s mind,” Favre said.

Today’s good internet dog is Bill Belichick’s dog Nike (of course. #branding). At least he was much better to look at draft night than Grumblelord himself.

He is a 2.5 year-old Alaskan Klee Kai dog, and the trick was having treats beside the computer & waiting for Belichick to give him the signal to go. So, just like Brady.


Tonight’s … entertainment?:

  • Wrasslin’:
    • AEW Dynamite – 8:00PM | TNT / TSN2
      • they have two more weeks of taped episodes from Georgia in the can, and then will use the Florida laws to get back to shooting more shows.
    • NXT – 8:00PM | USA
  • Goldfinger – 8:00 PM | BBC America
    • Oh, I’m sorry – do you need a preview? It’s Goldfinger.
  • Classic Boxing – ESPN Classic
    • 9:00PM – Ali-Norton II
    • 10:00PM – Ali-Frazier II
    • 11:00PM – Leonard-Duran III
  • Forged in Fire – 9:00PM | HIST
    • Four smiths are tasked with forging signature blades from scrap metal shavings. After two intense rounds, the remaining smiths head home to recreate the Nimcha, a sword traditionally made from recycled blades.
  • What We Do in the Shadows – 10:00 PM | FX / FX Canada
    • While the vampires fear they’ve been electronically cursed, Guillermo tries to thwart a deadly threat to his masters.

That’s a fair bit of good TV for a shitty, non-baseball Wednesday evening. Please – enjoy yourselves.

Today marks 6 weeks of isolation. Walking 5 miles a day, no meat, diary or flour. Eating fresh vegetables and home cooked meals every day. The change has been fantastic! Zero alcohol. A healthy, gluten-free, caffeine-free diet and a 1-hour home workout every day. Lost 20 pounds and gained muscle mass.

I have no idea who wrote this, but I am so proud of them that I decided to copy and paste.

Four smiths are tasked with forging signature blades from scrap metal shavings. After two intense rounds, the remaining smiths head home to recreate the Nimcha, a sword traditionally made from recycled blades.

Ultimately, those smiths ended up making 4 pretty damn good albums instead.

It is just too bad Morrissey is such a complete knobend. I saw Jonny Marr a few years back and he played a bunch of Smiths tunes. He sung them better than Mo!

So I finally got off the VPN this afternoon and was able to read your 70s Bond post (being “at work” means being on Air Force VPN, which firewalls DFO). Over the last week of looking forward to it, I figured I would not have much to add. I entered puberty right after Diamonds Are Forever, and was a lot more interested in getting a stinky finger etc (probably a legacy of my youthful Bond fandom, I could argue) than being the psychopathic fan-child I was in the 1960s. But your post did dredge up a lot of memories that I had not necessarily suppressed but certainly forgotten. Hopefully I will be able to organize those thoughts into a comprehensible comment over the next couple of days. Loved your post, regardless.

That would be awesome!

Just responded to tWBS’s previous post about compassion for those less fortunate. Reposting here because I really liked his post.
Multiply this story by 30+ million and you gotta know it’s going to eventually tear apart this country’s social fabric. But compassion like you’ve shown is inspirational. As a sixty year old, I get a lot of calls and texts from my younger friends, acquaintances, and colleagues asking how I’m doing and can they do anything for me. I have been asking them to direct their concern to other folks who are doing less well than I; I at least have a government job, and will continue to get paid at least until we go full Mad Max world.
