Your “Hurry Up…” Thursday Evening Open Thread

NFL Notes: It’s a pretty quiet day ahead of the schedule release.

Did we all enjoy the Earl Thomas revelations last night? As a Seahawks fan , I sure did. 

• Here’s what we know for sure:
  • It happened April 13 but came to light yesterday as Earl Thomas went on Instagram ahead of TMZ publishing the details.
    • His agent somehow found out this was going to come to light.
  • He & his wife had a verbal argument at their home, after which he left with his brother.
    • Apparently over his drinking.
  • His wife followed the evening on Snapchat, found out they were out with some ladies, figured out where the Airbnb was from the Snapchat geolocation, grabbed a gun, and went with her sister & a friend to confront him.
    • They found him in bed with his brother & at least three women.
    • That’s when Nina admitted she pulled out the loaded gun, disengaged the safety and put it to Earl’s head to “scare him.”
      • She told police she didn’t know it was loaded as she took out the magazine; however, police later noted there was a round in the chamber.
    • He tried to wrestle the gun away & was hit with it.
  • Police were called.
    • The sister recorded the whole thing on her phone!
      • The recording proved to the cops that Earl did nothing & the wife committed all of the crimes.  
  • Nina Thomas, also known as Nina Teresa Baham-Heisser, was arrested & charged with burglary, burglary of a residence with intent to commit aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and intent to commit aggravated assault.
    • Court records show Nina Thomas was also hit with an emergency protective order, requiring her to stay 200 yards from Earl and his alleged mistress, according to the report.
• In my life, I am rarely ever going to agree with, or quote, Barstool because they are all a bunch mouth-breathing circlejerkers, but in this case Big Cat has a pretty clear point:

Can’t get over the fact that having an orgy with your brother and then being held at gunpoint by your wife is just “stuff happens” to Earl Thomas.

What’s the line where things get serious for him?

In other news today, I may have restarted the conflict over the Falkland Islands.

It all started when I responded to this picture,

And it was at that moment the Generals knew they had to invade the Falkland Islands.

and then some peeved Argentines chimed in, which led me to pronounce the greatest of sports insults:

Scoreboard.

Since then, in the comments and then between each other, there are some Argentines & some Brits having it out over whose islands they are, and making points that date back to the papal bulls of Alexander VI & dividing the world between Portugal & Spain via the Treaty of Tordesillas.

Sisi, las Malvinas eran propiedad de lo que hoy es Argentina y Gran Bretaña las usurpó ilegalmente.

It’s a good thing I don’t plan on visiting Buenos Aires anytime soon since I’m apparently on some Boca Juniors hit list.

That’s it for me. I have to spend tomorrow at IT because my work computer died this afternoon. Had I backed everything up? Of course not!
