NFL Notes:
- It’s looking worse for Leonard Fournette today.
- Not Earl Thomas worse, but pretty bad:
- He cleared waivers unclaimed & is now a true free agent.
- He promptly filed a grievance for the $4.167 million in base salary he believes he’s owed for 2020.
- I half-expect the Patriots to pick him up & turn him into the next 2,000 yard rusher.
- Not Earl Thomas worse, but pretty bad:
- Among the people who did get paid today:
- Bengals RB Joe Mixon – a 4-year extension worth $48 million.
- Lions OL Taylor Decker – a six-year extension worth $85 million.
- The league is looking to set a standard for decibel levels in empty stadiums during games.
- According to ESPN, the league has curated an audio track that would be played at every game without fans.
- The league’s competition committee will meet this week to finalize plans, including the maximum decibel level allowed.
- PFT reported last week that the fake crowd noise is expected to be in the range of 70 to 85 decibels.
- Stadiums with fans will have the option to use the track as well.
- The league’s competition committee will meet this week to finalize plans, including the maximum decibel level allowed.
- According to ESPN, the league has curated an audio track that would be played at every game without fans.
- Get ready for your MAGA relatives to start pounding out Facebook responses: Roger Goodell confirmed the phrases “It Takes All of Us” and “End Racism” would appear in NFL end zones this season.
- As well, the NFL will be joining with social justice groups to promote voter registration.
- It’s all part of the league’s “Inspire Change” program.

So the unicorn house was indeed a “unicorn” house. Watch out for scams people.
“Now if you wire me the deposit over Cash APP I can lock this place down for you!”
Motherfucker I ain’t even seen the inside of the place and their ain’t no rental agreement!
How much more emphasis do I need to say kiss my ass?
Fucking Craigslist.
You’re looking for a place to live in the same place you can find gently used Fleshlights?
That hockey announcer you all rip on, is he doing the Vancouver/Vegas game?
Yesh!
Did he say, “and who would have guessed it, Vancouver is up 2-1 on Vegas.”?
I’m no hockey expert but a 2-1 score doesn’t sound shocking in any game.
Specially when Vancouver already won a game in the series.
He’s way too excited about everything.
How the fuck is it only Tuesday?
If the year 2020 were an Antarctic Research Mission, this is what it would have looked like.
That’s the joke.
Completely agree.
I get Friday off, so it’s actually Wednesday.
Vegas in backup goalie hell now
Honestly, one game more than Boston is all I needed to accept whatever happens in game 6. All hated teams in the East are already out. Even after 5 games, I’m still just amused at a competitive Islanders team, and have never been more than indifferent to Tampa, even during the 2004 ECF. You lose a barn burner series to peak Marty St. Louis and Vincent lecavalier, and it’s hard to get any real ire up.
Lol that Charlie Chaplin commercial uses the kissing photo from the Vancouver Stanley Cup loss riot.
.
He got smoked tonight.
Reporter: “You couldn’t get the feel for your off speed pitches?”
Yes, genius! His off speed pitches were the reason the starting pitcher went 2/3 of an inning, giving up five hits, three walks, six runs all earned, and one strikeout.

I see the Canucks are Canucking this series.
They should go south.

A short read, but damn good.
Flyers in OT. Philly lives to get not quite dead another day.
