-The term ‘hobo’ came about in the northwest United States in the late 1800’s.
-Strictly speaking, a hobo is a homeless person that travels from place to place to find temporary work. The Spanish word for hobo is obrero temporal. In Arabic it is almutasharid.
-Hobos tended to avoid the South because they would be sent to forced-labor camps.
-The National Hobo Convention takes place every year in Britt, Iowa.
-Robert “Sidetrack” Silveria Jr. was a serial killer that admitted to killing 28 fellow hobos before he turned himself in. He is currently serving two life sentences in Wyoming.
-Famous individuals that lived the lifestyle for a period of time include Jack Dempsey, Louis L’Amour, Jack London, George Orwell, Robert Mitchum, William O. Douglas and of course, Woody Guthrie and Jack Kerouac.
-During the Great Depression it was estimated that as many as two million men resorted to ‘hobo-ing’.
-“Wild Boys of the Road”, a 1933 film about teenage boys forced to adopt the lifestyle due to financial pressure, has an 88% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
TO THE GAME!
Eagles/Niners:
-Here’s the Philly wr corpse-Ward, Hightower, Burnette, Fulgham and Butler. Aside from Ward they have 18 receptions this year. As well, Jason Peters was just put on IR and they only have 3 healthy corners.
-Deebo is back on a limited snap count and Kittles owners aren’t feeling as helpless as a kitten up a tree.
-Mullens threw for 343 and a TD last week without those weapons but it was the porous Giants so take that with a grain of something.
-Wentz has thrown two interceptions in each game this year-expect that to continue.
Have at it.
I meant to get one 4-pack of this and instead got four 4-packs and folks, I am in trouble. 9.2% and does not taste like that at all.
I can take them off your hands. Ship them COD to …
Oh that looks tasty
Part of the problem is that they are, in fact, delicious.
That looks like you can chew it.
You could. It is definitely not a light beer.
Love a good imperial stout.
THESE MIAMI HEAT I CALL THEM A GAS STATION BATHROOM FLOOR AFTER TODD MARINOVICH’S BOSS HAD TO LEAVE EARLY DUE TO A FAMILY ISSUE CAUSE THEY ARE NOT GETTING SWEPT TONIGHT!
That’s REALLY specific…
Not quite as specific as the instructions given to Todd, but he’ll ignore both of them anyway.
This is going to get ugly.
Going to?

There really needs to be a new category for gig workers, and so I don’t think voting either way on prop 22 is going to fix anything. However, I’m probably going to vote against it just because I’m annoyed by all the commercials for ‘yes’
I’m very torn on how to vote on that one. I think the freelance vs Uber driver part is tough and the fact that the Uber drivers don’t want to be employees, no idea what to do.
Yeah, the original law is an amazingly stupid piece of legislation, but just granting an exception for drivers doesn’t actually fix anything. I might just abstain.
Tis exactly my issue.
It’s not about the workers. It’s about the company hiring a huge amount of workers without providing benefits.
I think Uber could pay for benefits and stay profitable but they don’t want to.
Look Balls, (if that is your real name), if I give my “employees” health benefits, I wouldn’t be able to put gold-embossed toilets in my 4th house. And then what are the toilet embossers supposed to do for work? Huh? HUH? Exactly, libtard. Now siddown, I’m creatin’ jobs ova heah.
Stay profitable? They’ve never made a profit. They could do something like ebay did back in the day for health insurance. There really needs to be a new legal category for flexible workers, shoehorning them into existing categories isn’t going to be good no matter where they end up. I don’t really mind screwing Uber over, and I’m pretty ambivalent about Door Dash and some of the other companies sponsoring the prop. I do like Lyft though.
Well there you go.
Every company in California with more than 50 employees has to provide benefits.
Here’s every Prop 22 ad:
Uber Driver: I need money man! This fucking pandemic! Uber gonna fire my ass if this doesn’t pass. Vote Yes!
I’ve talked to quite a few drivers who are in favor of 22, one of the biggest issues is that they won’t be able to drive for both Uber and Lyft if they’re an employee. And there are actually quite a few exceptions to AB 5 already. Did you follow the passage? They almost put every newspaper in the state out of business until they put in a last minute exception for journalists. It was a shitshow
I’m leaning towards ‘no’ but mostly because I want them to fix the damn law
I agree that the law needs to be fixed.
Btw, have you read the LA Times lately? Holy shit, it’s a shell of what it used to be!
That’s sad 🙁
I recently saw some old editions of the East Bay Times and The Mercury News, they used to be much bigger!
It’s weird what happens when a newspaper is bought by a finance company that exists to strip out all of the assets of its acquisition and then dump the corpse in bankruptcy court.
Eh, eight year-olds working spinning looms in Victorian England probably would have said the same thing about not wanting the government to interfere with their employment, so as condescending as it sounds I’m going to ignore their input.
100% agree.
They did have workers make this point just like hope for thirty years we’ve been sold the idea of sweatshop work being better than no work even though these communities managed to exist without everyone starving to death for centuries before the sweatshops came in
I’m very comfortable with my employer and California and other states legally classifying them as employees because that’s what they are under nearly every legal definition of who is an employee in the U.S.
Uber was built on breaking labor laws until they could get automated cars. They lost and and I hope everyone running the corporation goes to prison.
Exactly. Fuck Uber
I think a good rule of thumb is that if Uber is against it, I am for it.
Bring back serfs
Is this where it turns out Zymm is actually a lost descendant of the Romanovs?
Mike and Tony wonder aloud who could have seen coming what’s happening in Dallas.
-Ahem- From the DFO Cowboys 2020 preview, written by one, (squints at note), Horatio Cornblower? The fuck? Anyway
“They’ll be a fun 8-8, though, probably scoring 30+ a game, but more often than not giving up 31+.”
So basically, any idiot who spent even 15 minutes looking at the team could have told you that what is now happening was very likely to happen.
Now now, you’re not just an idiot, you’re a drunken idiot.
Thank you for not calling me fat.
Hello!
Because it’s ALWAYS been legal for them.

Oooh Mixed Messages!!
They were determined to have Breaking News regardless of what.
Dallas is an absolute disaster this season, (albeit a highly entertaining disaster), but I’m starting Cooper, Lamb, Zeke, & Schultz and these games are manna from heaven to FF players.
Every player Collinsworth has ever seen is as good as any player Collinsworth has ever seen.
This should be the banner, because it is an absolutely perfect encapsulation of everything I cannot stand about his good ole boy aw shucks chucklefuck approach to announcing.
Well, it is an egalitarian approach, I guess…
Can’t wait for the fixtures featuring TWO NFC East sides being prime timed for our viewing pleasUre
It’ll be a really solid high school game
If enough of us commit hara-kiri, then the MAGA pundits can muddy the waters even further and lie about all of our deaths being listed as COVID-related and REEEEEE THIS IS WHY YOU CAN’T TRUST BIG GUBMINT REEEEEE
Congratulations to Dallas on your new team record

I’m disappointed in her 9ers/NFL pix since she was famous for having big tits and the only other good pic is of her legs.
My daughter just asked my hot-flash suffering wife if she was having one of her “heat waves”, and as soon as I stop laughing I am going to move out of the house before my wife goes full “Carrie” and incinerates us all.
For maximum fun, you could recommend she dresses like one of these images in our comment section whenever she feels a hot flash coming on.
You should have your track spikes on when you do that, though.
Sometimes, a person just needs to eat shit-quality wings and mozza sticks up to the brink of death.
Why would Tomsulas call timeout, almost surely starting inside their 20??
Look, when the stew is ready everything stops.
ohhh, their defense isn’t playing tonight. That makes more sense.

Where is WCS to say “NFL Blitz!”
I think it’s time

Fuck it. Give us a flea flicker
This has now crossed the “so bad, it’s good” rubicon
Aren’t you glad you’re awake?
The answer to that question is never yes.
And we’ve got a whole ‘nother half to make it back across!
Some Tony Romo shit
Pffft! This isn’t the play-offs.
Romo wouldn’t know.

Despite half his OL being sento a farm upstate, it sort of looks like Wentz is getting comfortable against a superior defense, but I’ve been hurt before
That snap was sent upstate.
That coke ad seems….off message during covid.
“Football’s a weird game”
It’s really not Cris. One team tries to advance the ball to their goal, ten yards over 4 plays at a time, and the other team tries to stop them using various techniques what would get you 5-7 years in the pen if you did them on the street. It’s really a very simple game.
It’s weird in the sense that it only really appeals to Americans
It’s weird in the sense that no one is actually forcing us to listen to Collinsworth yet here we are.
I’m drinking, what’s your excuse?
Well that wasn’t at all terrible
Ok, I see the Favre analogy now
Gonna need a shovel pass 5 yards past the line of scrimmage, and laughing about it as it seals the game for the opponent
Mullen clearly went to the Matt Schaub school of throwing the ball away
Mullen ate shit for that throw too
Oh no. They’ve discovered the secret technique required to beat Phliadelphia: Throw to the TE over and over again
That tie-dye Iggles hat is such an abortion, I am almost glad that Comey-Barrett weirdo is going on the Supreme court
“He’s got a little Brett magic” as a response to the 20th consecutive WR screen
This is distinct from Little Brett magic, which ends with a payout and a signed NDA

Terry Bradshaw could have gone down in history as a history-making QB and a slightly goofy TV announcer, but he seems determined to rewrite his history as a fucking idiot that people laugh at rather than with, and I would like him to stop.
That’s why I said “history-making” instead of “all-time” great. I wouldn’t call him overrated, because he played within a system that asked him to do what he did, and he did it, and they won 4 Super Bowls and became the first Super Bowl dynasty. But he was no Marino, that’s for sure.
Every 21st century QB would have exploded like blood bags back then.
Maybe not Cam. But he also wouldn’t have been a quarterback
Jared Lorenzon would have been a god.
This game needed a manhattan
This game needs a Project Manhattan.
Also acceptable.
Space force toilet?
Evergreen post
How come state farm didn’t use Mitt Romney for that “forgot stuff on the roof of my car” ad?
He probably gave them the idea at the last board or shareholders meeting
You order shrimp from Applebee’s you deserve every agonizing minute you spend on the crapper the next day.
You can get a cheeseburger and microwaved garbage anywhere. People come to Applebee’s for the coronavirus and the attitude!
This is destined to end 9-8, on a last minute safety.
I feel like them keeping Mailata and his only qualification being “same physical size as Jason Peters” is unwise
If you google “Sexy Hartford Athletic Fans”, the 4th or 5th image is from a story about a West Hartford teacher getting charged with what I suspect was boning a student, so that’s a road I stopped going down.
Hot teacher.
She’s not bad looking, for a sex felon.
If you bedazzle an ankle monitor it turns in to quite the accesory.
You are sure just to find Grat, WhyEaglesWhy and myself.
From that day I got all dolled up and got the lighting just right for my tits
Google “sexy shitshow”

Why do I keep getting redirected to the Odell Beckham and Najeh Davenport wiki pages?
Is the niners OL typically this iffy?
I don’t think so? Could be wrong.
Nick Mullens is both an NFL quarterback and America’s greatest podcaster. You love to see it, folks.
And president of the DSA
I was just at the Greenbriar!
There was a bar in my neighborhood called the Greenbriar that closed this year. That makes me sad.
Closed because YOU didn’t drink enough smh
I visited briefly for work a couple of years ago. ‘S nice.
I bet that Nick Mullens has, like, a really hairy asshole.
The Buddy Ryan sweater, classic.
