NFL Nuggets:
- Proving once again that the only true crime in the NFL is taking a knee, Aldon Smith has been reinstated by the NFL.
- The Cowboys (naturally) signed Smith to a one-year contract worth up to $4 million, with $2 million in base salary and $2 million in sack incentives, but no money guaranteed.
- He hasn’t played since the 2015 season due to various legal & substance abuse issues.
- He turns 31 in September.
- He claims that, because he hasn’t “put mileage on my body”, he should be able to resume his career at a high level.
- The Cowboys (naturally) signed Smith to a one-year contract worth up to $4 million, with $2 million in base salary and $2 million in sack incentives, but no money guaranteed.
- Right on cue, here comes Josh Gordon.
- By appearing in 11 games for the Seahawks in 2019, Gordon appeared in enough games to satisfy his contractual obligations and to become an unrestricted free agent. He’s currently able to sign with any team.
The list of proposed rule changes was published & sent to teams on Thursday.
- Among the proposals: (all taken from the cited article)
- Adding a booth umpire and a senior technology advisor to the referee to assist the officiating crew.
- A proposal that would give teams another option instead of an onside kick.
- It would allow a team to maintain possession of the ball after a score by substituting one offensive play – attempting a fourth-and-15 from its 25-yard line.
- This could be done a maximum of two times per game.
- It would allow a team to maintain possession of the ball after a score by substituting one offensive play – attempting a fourth-and-15 from its 25-yard line.
- Making permanent the expansion of automatic replay reviews to include scoring plays and turnovers negated by a foul, and any successful or unsuccessful extra-point attempt.
- Providing 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.
- This would eliminate instances when an offense could benefit time-wise from committing a penalty.
- Expanding the defenseless player protection to a kickoff or punt returner who is in possession of the ball but who has not had time to avoid or ward off the impending contact of an opponent.
- Essentially, the CFL’s “no yards” penalty.
- Preventing teams from manipulating the game clock by committing multiple dead-ball fouls while the clock is running.
- One proposal not making the cut was the proposal to return overtime to 15 minutes.

I’d be more worried if he was coming dead
Amen. I forgot to make this joke.
That top picture is (as Jon Stewart said) “my originally issued album.” My sister’s puppy chewed the corners.
That headline would be more effective in French.
(Ce titre serait efficace en français.)
Vous n’avez pas à vivre au Québec
I’ve been working remotely from L.A. for over two months now.
I miss this, though:
Wait, you’re still working?
I thought you were suckling at the teat of their socialist unemployment program. And California’s.
My contract ends this week. I plan on sucking on BOTH of them.
Ahh, the October Crisis. That takes me back.
And stupid people today think Justin Trudeau has gone too far. His old man was considered a race traitor and a fucking dictator by les québécois.
As a born & bred American (with a Newfie mother and about a thousand cousins in Canadia) I learned a lot about the French Canadiens during my six month winter in Montreal. First they hate the English, and that includes English Canadians, who they feel tried to exterminate them 200 years ago. Like the Nazis. That’s their story anyway, and a whole bunch of really nice ones of them tells that same story.
How would they react to me running around yelling WEEEEE, WEEEEE really loud instead of an appropriate “Oui”?
Are you American? With U.S. Dollars? They’d totally dig it.
He shoulda copped a feel.
them titties cost a lot of money – look but no touch the merchandise
Copped a flipper?
Sexy Friday is tomorrow champ!
Get outta my head.
FINE. Blues song:

I’m drunk. Worthless really. Cheers. Here is some phish. You guys hate this shit! Bears. https://youtu.be/DJ3HPkiEYKw
Phish is kinda stupid, but being drunk is not worthless. It’s life-affirming.
The best part about phish is they know they are stupid. That’s why Zappa is bad because he thought being stupid is some kind of art. Phish knows being stupid is fun and not serious. Biggest nerd rockers since devo.
I’m going to second that Zappa is way over-rated, even though that’s “heresy” is some circles. If the nerds like him, good for them.
ooh i had a “+1” here a bit ago – a nerd must have downvoted
ooh! it’s back up to “+1” !
You’re welcome.
ooh you fucks it’s back to zero
is it ayo? is it ayo who’s responsible for this?
I have only voted once. I would never dare to manipulate voting in such a manner.
Also, my modest screen shows your post still carries a reputation of +1.
Someone just this past week did the joke where they took a friend to a Phish show, and after half an hour the friend asked how long they were going to continue to rehearse.
Eh
That’s a good joke for any band you dislike, or one you like that someone else stupidly hates.
Change some punctuation around & you have a hate screed against hairy gay men.
Tomorrow nights plan that will have me in excellent shape for all the DFO craziness
1. Eat an edible
2. Two beers, order food for my boy’s bday.
3. A bourbon or three, Also, cigars.
4. Avoid eating, hover around. Sneak in three more beers.
5. Bourbon and dodging Mrs. Fozz
6. Drink a beer with my oldest. Be sad and happy.
7. Edible and cigar
8. Explain how I’m not wasted. I’m fine.
9. Beer, bourbon, beer, cigar. Deep breathes to convince me I’m ok.
10. DFO check in. Post. Feel sad as shit about tWBS. Cry in silence.
11. Drunk, maudlin, cigars, listen to Nebraska. Sleep.
Please turn on your spellcheck prior to this activity.
I thought it was clean. Oh well. Blowe meigh
OMG you go “full depression” when you get hammered and listen to “Nebraska.”
Assuming the Counting Crows did that album because of Omaha.
I know my music.
Shit, now I’m listening to “Johnny 99”
Listening to Bruce Springsteen’s “Nebraska” is as depressing as watching Bruce Dern’s “Nebraska.” Fight me.
Both are better than going to Nebraska though.
I can’t endorse this enough.
Hay man, just want to be able to understand you.
My oldest turned 16 eight minutes ago. How in fuck did I get here? Shouldn’t I be waking up in a bed full or barf and scribbled phone numbers on the back of matchbooks? Goddamn you, time, I want to be 25 forever. Fucking dick.
So, when you say 16…
1) Gender?
2) State rules?
3) Pic for the post, for, I dunno, posterity?
4) Did he/she get my e-mail?
lol just kidding I don’t even like kidz bop
Male
MD
Mmmm, no pix
Fucking weirdo
He is my namesake, smarter than me, and I want to punch him 98% of the time he is awake.
I hear all that. Being a parent is the best and stupidest thing we do.
But our kids being better than us? That’s awesome.
He is so much better than me. He’s tall, confident, easy going, and smart as a whip. He’s also tall, I am not. Also he does not have my Italian snozz or big ears.

Jesus fuck, Blazing Saddles is the funny fucking movie I have ever seen. Call me whatever you want, it’s a fucking goddamn masterpiece.
I will call you…..TIM!
TIM! I agree; it is a fucking masterpiece and holds up very well.
Another “film they could not make today.”
—Cleavon Little
Edit: I saw Blazing Saddles when it opened at the old theater in Redlands CA. Young Frankenstein, too. The mid 70s were a fertile cultural field for me.
Play chess? Screw?
You are just a pawn….bitch!
Pawns jump Queen!
It’s good to be the king.

Why does Tonto look like Robert Shaw?
His dad’s been aroun’ my fren.
Jesus H Christ, Chiefy.
Tonto was a top.
Who has the best head decoration?
Tonto the minimalist, with a thin leather-strap head band that has no functionality
or
The Lone Ranger who, in this photo, has gone full baroque.
Discuss.
Phantom of the Plains?
Hey, if it ain’t baroque, don’t fix-
(strangled by human race who doesn’t wanna hear the laziest pun ever)
One those movies where you can use for everyday life.
But what if the call is coming from inside the house?
Meh, it’s just some robocall about how your automobile warranty is expiring and needs renewal.
That would be IP over internet?
Or it is probably your neighbor’s router. [types in “password”]
I shall have my longer twopence (don’t get too excited there, Father, Mother isn’t bringing home another “special friend” this evening) on Sabado morning, Lesser Footy-style. There Will Be Rambling.
/also, I thought more on the onside kick replacement rule, and I think the defenses should be allowed 12 men on the field to liven things up
To quote Robert Plant, ramble on.

That’s an interesting point; how good are your odds of completing a 15-yard Hail Mary? Probably a lot better than completing a regular one. A LOT better.
Found a funny:
thinking of my high school classmate who said “my people built that” referring to the gothic architecture of Notre-Dame because she identified as a goth
I’d like to clog her toilet…… wait, no, let’s go a different route.
Any MPFC reference = automatic +1 from me.
I would have thought you would have said something like ‘Lumberjacks don’t wear Lederhosen!”
I try to remain at least slightly unpredictable.
Good eve, you buncha knuckle dragging apes. I’m cruising a steady diet of edibles, bourbon, and beer. so i’m kinda mellow but ready to throw fucking hands at the drop of a gun
Bourble Time?
Hell yeah, I call that my “health” regime.
Hey gents.
Twas my anniversary yesterday (25 to be specific) and instead of gorging myself on cruise food and watching a polar bear eat a local and disappointing my wife with sex attempts, I stayed home and hung out with the wife and kid. Today is mom-s birthday, so we’ve been virtually celebrating that. All this is a way to say I’ve avoided the grieving on site, but rest assured Seamus’ loss is hitting really hard.
I started the “Dude” thing with him during the music Friday posts because, good God did he have horrible taste in music. We’re trying to fit the topic with music we like, and along comes Seamus with a Kelly Clarkson video followed by Florida-Georgia Line, and they’re both probably not really topic-appropriate. So I replied once with “Dude” just like you’d say to your friend when he puts on a Ace of Base song and starts singing along. “Dude” means “Hey, I’m trying to do you a favor because I think highly of you so change this fucking song right now before I assume you’re the son of Satan.” And Seamus, God bless him, reacted by lol’ing and looking forward to getting “Duded” (giggity) every Friday.
Anyway, there was more to our internet friending than that, but that’s how I choose to remember that crazy lovely smart idiot. Only got to meet him once (at DFO Meetup LA last year), but he made his impression because he always did. Rest in peace Mark.
i like this song

JAJAJAJAAJAJA [phonetic]
Vato!
“I am soooo baked right now.”
I’ll raise ya a Joy Harmon.
Well, there is a stoned Asian in tiara in that one. But agreed; Joy is 1,000> than whats her name
But probably not anymore, 50+ years on…
I guess I should always be more specific; AT THEIR RESPECTIVE PRIMES.
This late at night, with as much as I have aboard, I am thick as a fucking plank.
I will challenge your thickness!
Wait, that doesn’t sound right.
I just read the post about Seamus. Very sad.
Sexy Friday just wont be the same…..
Both Horatio’s and DonT’s posts are absolutely topnotch; it is dusty at my house.
Dave:
Evening internet friends. How is everyone holding up?
Fair-to-middlin’
Gloomy but nicely stoned.
Wistful yet fully erect.
My entire emotional and psychological state can be summed up with “meh”

Pretty much fucked, but I had an encouraging phone call with the USAF Subject Matter Expert (SME) on groundwater hydrology, with whom I’ve worked for and with off and on over the last 22 years, and it seems that my hope for an in-house transfer from construction back to my native environmental work as a hydrogeologist is still alive, so I’m not quite as deeply depressed as I have been for the last 4 months. Definitely an improvement over how I was feeling this time yesterday.
Quite an assembly of musicians: Mick Jagger on lead vocals, Keith Richards on harmony vocals, Mick Taylor and Richards on guitars, Bill Wyman on bass, Charlie Watts on drums, and Billy Preston on Hammond organ. Stones’ recording veterans Bobby Keys and Jim Price performed on the saxophone and trumpet.

They should have begged, borrowed, anything, if only Mick Taylor would stay.
Mick Taylor must have inherited a peerage or a bazillion British pounds sterling. Most “I don’t give a fuck” attitude about fame, ever.

Just checked the ole gambling machine and the only live betting sports is Div 2 russian volleyball. Ural Police v Club Victory.
Not sure who to go with.
I am more of a womans dutch volleyball scout myself.
When in doubt on Russian sports I’d always go with the authorities.
For men’s sports take the ones with the biggest boobs, and for women’s sports you want to pick the ones with the most back hair.
Or the best “package.” How do I remember shit like this? It’s almost 45 years since I bought that issue. I think I still have it, along with several other boxes full of old NLs.
Dunno, but “Oral Police” is a good movie.
I must have had a knock off as all the one I saw was just Sting moaning and shuddering for 12 hours.
John Glenn’s widow, 100, died from “COVID complications.” Does this confirm that the moon invented Chamillionairvirus as revenge!?
Heaven,
Twbs slides up ” Hi, I’m Mark, New here? Let me show you around.”
“Did you by any chance work in the service industry?”
Tomorrow I’ll be on a conference call with a government agency that has assessed us a multi-million dollar penalty (this was an industry-wide thingy that was done-we’re one of 12 companies that was audited) for a tax issue. The jist of the convo is “this thing that we did to you-do you have any recommendations for us so that we don’t do this to you again?”
/yeah, harsh words will be spoken
If the penalty is in Loonies, then it’s not so bad, right?
Then they’ll just have to turn in Scotchy, and the debt is paid! Heyoo
Jeff Bridges deserved the Oscar for Best Actor that year.
Fucking Yeah Right’s beach community anyway.
While not the point of the reaction gif, I had to rewatch the movie because of the roach dropped in the lap scene had me laughing so hard that I missed the next ten minutes. I was driving with the window open and had a roach blow down my shirt, I didn’t wreck the car, but I’m assuming it was pretty funny.
Back in the 70s, when I couldn’t afford a car with AC, that shit happened with annoying frequency. I think every one of my shirts for a while there featured seed burns.
That was the only time the burns required treatment for me. I learned enough not to repeat.
Oh Oh! Can I listen in??
Remember to lead with a “How dare you!” That never fails to persuade the government.
California is getting dangerously close to having a day with more COVID deaths than New York. Not that I’m rooting against New York, but this makes me nervous.
See, it only affects lizards!!!111
What’s line on this?
my phone autocorrected libtards
THANKS OBAMA!!!1111
Well, lizards are socialists. Territorial socialists…..
I think they’re going to find teams converting 4th and 15 at a much higher rate than they intended, given that defenses will most likely be completely gassed in situations where it will be attempted. Plus it will be taking place ~60 yards away from where the last play happened. And you just know Belichick will milk this one for all it’s worth; running a hurry-up version using second-string players that dash right out as soon as the touchdown is scored; using it after their very first drive in the first quarter to try to run up the score early, etc.
That’s probably why they’re only allowing it twice per game. Belicheat will certainly use it to his advantage, it seems tailor made for him.
Agreed on all counts. But it will be exciting.
“Holding, defense, automatic first down.”
I’ll be here tomorrow, but don’t make it too sexy. Seamus can watch us masturbate now.
Being such a good dude, I’m sure he won’t laugh and point at us as much as the NSA does.
“A Very Special Episode Of Sexy Friday Dedicated to Seamus”
Multiple pics of 50+ dudes sticking their dicks into the tailpipes of old pickup trucks? I can’t think of a more wonderful, poignant and heartfelt sendoff. You really nailed the essence of our fallen comrade.
Around here we call that, “The Houston”.
No, that’s trash cans.
Let me just get this out of the way right now; although I think the Cuomo/Brody analog is a little thin, this reminded me that it’s been 45 years since this movie came out:
I would have liked to see the NFL adopt the XFL’s kick-off.
