We end a week dominated by Gamestop and stonks, and my guess is there’s no trading on Saturdays because NOTHING is happening. I dunno,
??Personal Musings Alert??
when it comes to money, I’m neither a gambler nor speculator. Working for a living is fine enough for me, and there is nothing sweeter than getting paid after two weeks of texting culminate in a phone call and—hey, I was in the area looking for a new tire for my wheelbarrow and since I’m already nearby, maybe I can pick up the check and save you the stamp, huh? HUH!
Other side:
Maybe what I really need is a flunky. Yeah… Someone who will select a special gift for a loved one, knows the way around the printer ink black market, and can find at least three abandoned shipping containers within any 10-mile radius. That would free up my time for doing what I really love: making the “Blah blah blah” hand gesture on my side of work calls. Remember: it’s not work, if you do what you love.
NFL NEWS
It feels like the offseason is already here, criminy. Nothing worth linking, it’s mostly musings by talking heads about the Draft plus yesterday’s items (Loins hire Dom Capers for DC, Green Bay lets Mike Pettine go, Power RankingzZZZ).
Of some substance:
-Lions “expected to trade Stafford before the Super Bowl”. Nefariousness.com has the item, which includes ZERO team names except for the Loins.
-Stand back, you don’t wanna get too close to this sizzlin’ item: JJ Watt wants “clarity” with Texans before his contract ends, which is next year. The clarity no one asked for: JJ, you’re an All-Timer, as to grating personality. Unless you’re on a Titans uniform, I don’t wanna see ya—and never hear, in any scenario. Otherwise, best of luck.
-The Texans say they want Watson.
The person, not so much. Seemingly.
Watson already took down all his pics in Texans shwag from his social media stuff, which is how personalities express determination. Deshaun, of course, is under contract—but there has not been any clamoUr for him to honoUr it. Houston brass are the only folks insisting, and any “Honor our agreement” virtue-signaling by NFL management admits only one retort:
New head coach David Sculley already said he took the job expecting Watson to be the QB. As such, I already started doing my meditations by lighting a Josh McDaniels Reneging Candle.
There are only two ways you keep the at-worst second-best player in your franchise’s history: a “Sorry sorry SORRY—I CAN CHANGE LISTEN TO ME” charm offensive, or out of pure spite. But, to be clear: nobody wins if Deshaun stays in Houston.
But enough about imaginary entities.

As to other entertainment, I suggest you check out “Disenchantment” on Netflix.
I think “Disenchantment” is dynamite, with passive aggression comparable only to “Schitt’$ Creek”, which is saying something. The dismissive reviews compare it, badly, to Futurama. Why not judge both in their own terms? But the Interwebz Monster demands a hook for media types to hang their know-it-all caps. For me, it’s a lazy judgment.
Obviously, the humor is similar, duh. I’m gonna leave it at that because I don’t wanna risk an asthma attack rummaging through the closet to get my old “Life in Hell” books. Most of all, I’m not gonna apologize for enjoying waaaay too much comedy bits on: smothering mothers, PTSD, gender fluidity, psycho dates, trap doors, distant parents, pervs, tyranny, an elf whose rebelliousness means he’s not THAT lame, and Eric FUCKING Andre impersonating a wee demon. Plus history’s best beheading pun, and a deep exploration on how true love manifests itself.
Saturday night woooo!
