NFL Nuggets:

  • The big organizational news is the league edict that training camps have to be held at team facilities.
    • Meaning that teams that sometimes hold initial sessions in the field – the Cowboys, for example, usually start in Oxnard, CA – have to hold everything in one place.
      • So teams with facilities built for 60 players will now have to contend with hosting a 90-man preseason roster & only one cut date.
    • Also, no joint practices, so we lose out on the annual “_____ fought with the _____ at their shared practice today” sports stories that make it sound like a perennial also-ran actually has a chance this year.
  • Conflict: The NBA restart will come up against the NFL regular season in terms of TV coverage (& revenue)
    • The NBA restart on July 31 will have an eight-game regular season to finish off the season & determine playoff seedings.
      • They will use 22 teams, based on records at the time of the season’s suspension
        • the 16 in playoff contention when the season stopped
        • the six teams within six games of eighth place
      • With the possibility of a play-in game for teams tied for eighth place after the extended season ends.
    • The playoffs would likely start the last week of August, and carry through to as late as October 12.
  • Conflicts: Drew Brees & Vic Fangio should stay away from social media for a while.
    • Breesus said something about kneeling during the anthem & got called out by his wide receiver and told to “shut the fuck up” by Malcolm Jenkins. Hell – even Aaron Rodgers took a run at him.
    • Vic Fangio said, out loud & into a microphone, “I don’t see racism at all in the NFL, I don’t see discrimination in the NFL.”
      • Despite, as Akiem Hicks pointed out, “We signed Mike Glennon.”
      • Resulting in a “reflection” on his comments and an admission that,
        • “While I have never personally experienced those terrible things first-hand during my 33 years in the NFL, I understand that many players, coaches and staff have different perspectives. I should have been more more clear and I am sorry.”

The [Redacteds] had a badder day yesterday, all thanks to their social media.

  • It all started innocently enough, when they tried to do the least they could do.

  • I don’t think you need me to point out what happened in their comments section.
  • Then the true enemies of professional sports weighed in – the columnists!
    • Led by Florio, normally the head bootlicker alongside his confrère Peter King:

  • And despite the mouthbreathing from most PFT follows, there was a light in the wilderness from the handsomest of Twitter accounts.

To paraphrase CM Punk, Dan Snyder is a millionaire who should be a billionaire. You know why he’s not a billionaire? Because he surrounds himself with glad-handed, nonsensical, douchebag  yes men who are going to tell him everything he wants to hear. He could make millions off rebranding the team & new sponsorship opportunities, but he would rather make the guaranteed thousands he knows will come in every year from merch sales. That’s just sad; but, then again, so are the [Redacteds].

Tonight’s … entertainment?:

  • Wrasslin’:
    • AEW Dynamite – 8:00PM | TNT / TSN2
    • NXT – 8:00PM | USA
  • Ultimate Tag – 9:00PM | FOX
    • It’s “American Gladiators” without the Q-tips or Larry Czonka.
  • Costa Rican Primera Division Soccer:
    • Saprissa vs. Jicaral Sercoba – 9:55PM | ESPN2
  • Monster Energy Supercross:
    • Round 12 from Salt Lake City – 10:00PM | NBCSN
  • What We Do in the Shadows – 10:00PM | FX
    • When Nandor and Laszlo are abducted by a coven of witches, the others must venture to Brooklyn to rescue them.
  • KBO League:
    • Lotte Giants vs. Kia Tigers – 5:25AM | ESPN / TSN4

Slowly – very slowly – it looks like sports is creeping back into daily TV life. I, for one, cannot be happier, if only so WineWife doesn’t keep watching home renovation shows & getting ideas.

I don’t understand what it’s like to be in that situation. What it is to be pulled over, or profiled, or any number of issues that have happened, that Colin was referencing — or any of my team-mates have talked to me about … But I know it’s a real thing my black team-mates have to deal with. – Aaron Rodgers

Aaron saying Colin should be on a team right now… And talks his support for everything going on.

Not sure if been posted here but best protest coverage is on twitch. Runs curated 5-9 live streams from various people live streaming all kind of protests from NYC, Washington, Atlanta, LA, Oregon, Seattle and smaller ones as well. Big range of stream quality and very random speakers and locations with 25-51k watching on twitch. Starts around 5pm but been keeping me up to 3-5am est when west coast protests end. Current showdowns in DC and the west coast cities.

Yeah they’re good and in the epicenter. Robert Evans a combat journalist linked stream from his twitter was great from portland last night as they gassed the peaceful crowds 3 times yet still reformed with the hong kong cone tactics.

The one streamer last night who used the policy scanner to avoid being trapped with one group of protestors in LA. On the scanner whe police were so gleeful about making sure they were in a place they couldnt get out of they trapped them in a residential district and said if homeowners let them in theyd also arrest the homeowners unlike that one DC home.

As a member of the First Familys of Virginia and someone who had family members die on both sides of the Civil War.it is past time to take the Robert E lee statue down.

If I wanted to look at an outdated racist reminder of our past misdeads… I’d go to a [Redacted] game.

Didn’t he say something along the line of erecting monuments to the Confederacy was a bad idea?

If you want to read about Robert E. Lee, you have to go to the source material. Here’s a fine article from the May 1887 issue of the magazine North American Review entitled, “Grant, Thomas, Lee” written by retired general William Tecumseh Sherman, now an avid theater-goer living in New York City. In this article, written in Sherman’s well-known snarky style, he explains why Lee was a shitty general and that the great British general Lord Wolseley was just a goo-goo-eyed Lee fan-boy.

Robert E Lee lost to a drunk whose great military strategy was a Zerg Rush

Grant wasn’t a drunk. And he never retreated once. He was relentless, and managed logistics over thousands of miles. Lee lost because every battle he won he spent more blood than any other general, and he couldn’t replace it. He’s America’s Rommel.

Up until this week I considered it paranoid, but I am now worried about Trump attempting some military-backed takeover. Any sign that senior people in DoD (or, in the case of Mattis, someone with close ties to them) are not going to back everything Trump orders counts as good news to me.

It reads as pretty milquetoast boilerplate to me, but others are saying that in the military world the subtext is “I know shit is weird now. We’re not going to let this get out of hand.”

2
Viva La Tabula Raza

See the response just up the thread that I was typing while you posted.

1
Viva La Tabula Raza

The messaging we are getting from Air Force leadership is interestingly non-committal about sucking Trump’s dick. The message is they are going to work more on making airmen and their families safe rather than re-opening too early. See the Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force’s message earlier today (yeah, he’s a black guy). He and the AF Chief of Staff had a town hall today on FB https://www.airforcemag.com/goldfein-wright-to-host-town-hall-on-racial-inequality-in-the-air-force/, and I got the vibe that it might not go the way Trump wants if he orders the military to attack the citizens of the USA.

4
Viva La Tabula Raza

I have a $100 bet with a Trumpy friend of mine that the November elections don’t happen. His whole worshipfulness goes back to the early oughts, when he was a Navy officer in New York for Navy Week and Trump offered up his yacht to the Navy for the week, and my friend took advantage. I told him that Trump only did it for the tax break, not because he gave a fuck about anybody in the Navy. Still a point of contention twixt Bill and I. But we haven’t gone at each other’s throats, and he still gives me a quart of his excellent homemade moonshine every week. Navy ties are more important than political bullshit. Funny thing is of our local ex-Navy contingent, there are ex-CMCs, ex-Cmdrs and LCDRs, etc, but I, an ordinary E-5, am the alpha male of the group. They all do what I say (except vote Democrat; working on that). It is so weird.

3
Brick Meathook

So who wants to hear some GOOD news for a change?

Yesterday, I received papers from the Department of the Navy informing me that I was the recipient of a World War II combat decoration, and my form DD 214 has been amended thusly.

Dunstan

You’re looking good for someone coming up on 100.

6
Brick Meathook

Many years ago they left off my two badges off my DD-214 when I was discharged, and I never noticed until 2 years ago. I applied to have the error corrected, and 18 months later they replied with a DD-214 correction form, which now included the two that I had earned, plus another swank combat award that hasn’t been issued since World War II.

5
SonOfSpam

Glad you got that messy discharge taken care of,

6
Viva La Tabula Raza

I just got notified that I had received the John Paul Jones Sailing Ship Sailor of the Quarter for 4Q
1844. Shit grinds slowly, but finely.

6
Brick Meathook

Yeah, but I’m not joking. My DD-214 now says, officially, that I was awarded the “Submarine Combat Patrol insignia,” which hasn’t been awarded since World War II. It’s official. Look at my DD-214 if you don’t believe me. (My SSBN Deterrent Patrol Pin (with 5 gold stars) is also a combat decoration, and that was one of the two that was missing, along with my “fish”)

Oddly enough, I only had the record corrected so that I could join the VFW, and then only so that I could go drink cheap beers at VFW posts in hick towns out in the desert. I joined the American Legion for the hat (which I wore at the big protest march in L.A. before the invasion of Iraq).

Trump just released the latest pack of lies related to his physical condition. He is 6’3″ and, allegedly, 244 lbs.

The first thing I do when I take over the world, (it’s in the works, but I really need someone to commit to bringing enough orange slices for everyone), is make that fat slob strip to his skivvies and stand on a scale in front of the world.

4

Maybe it’s like Apocryphal England where when the next king takes over, he redefines the ‘foot’ to be equal to his own foot. So in this case, the pound is redefined to make trump weigh 244.

A lot of Americans would actually be quite pleased if he simply redefined the definition of “obese”.

I think the best refutation of that would be for him to be hanged, but on the first try the rope breaks, and when criticized for fucking up the hangman is like “hey, the paperwork said this guy weighed less than 250!”

I’ve seen so many people outright state that Drew Brees is racist. That is so damn stupid. The dude regularly showers with African Americans. Half these “woke” twitter accounts think watching the Wire means they understand black people.

Did say he some bone headed shit? Yeah. But given what we know about CTE, who the fuck is expecting deep thoughts in a tweet from him?

I don’t even like him or the Saints but he has done way more for NO than these assholes demanding that he lose his job over dumbass twitter comments.

I was talking to my old man just now about this. So your typical old, black dude. Honest to god my old man’s response to me telling him the tweet was “huh? What is controversial about that?”

The only difference if a famous black man made the same comment would be instead of being called a racist, these woke twitter folks would be calling him an Uncle Tom.
