NFL Notes: Jesus – still with the Jeopardy guest host:
- Jared Goff with the nice little twist of the knife to a division rival:
- “I think it’s a nice vote of confidence obviously for me [with them] not drafting a quarterback.”.
- And it just gets better for the Packers, as they have to send out OTA invites to available QBs that might be interested in backup duties.
- Because Jordan Love isn’t ready yet, and they need someone in case Rodgers doesn’t start the season.
- PFT laughably points out that the best available options are: Brian Hoyer, Matt Barkley, Nick Mullens, Blake Bortles and Robert Griffin III, with Colin Kaepernick as the long-shot-with-a-shot.
- Especially since Yo Gabba Gabbert made the smart decision & re-signed with the Bucs.
- Meanwhile, John Kuhn – KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHN – sees Rodgers position as trying to control his destiny.
- That he wants to retire a Packer, but wants the team to give him the tools to polish that plaque a bit more before he does.
- “I still think it’s somewhere around 70, 75% that Aaron Rodgers is the starting quarterback for the Packers this year.”
- That he wants to retire a Packer, but wants the team to give him the tools to polish that plaque a bit more before he does.
- Oh good – Brett Favre has an opinion:
- “[H]is rift isn’t with the fans or the players. It’s with the front office. Will he just swallow his pride and come in? Maybe. But I don’t see that happening.[…]If there’s not a trade, my gut tells me that he’d rather sit out than play. That’s just my gut.”
- Meanwhile, Brett Favre’s penis is angry at Aaron Rodgers’ phone for not giving him Shailene Woodley’s contact info. It has something to send her.

It’s been a week. But tomorrow is Sexy, and then there’s the weekend, so let’s wrap up tonight with a little Townes Van Zandt.
Here’s my bold prediction on the Rodgers situation–
He pouts for a while, they make overtures about a “big splash” maybe even leak a “secret” workout of Kaep, and then he comes back, wins another NFC north title, loses in the Divisional playoffs for a change, and then pulls a Brady next season.
Most plausible scenario for sure.
The question is which team he pulls the Brady with.
I think Steelers.
Given how spiteful Rodgers seems to be, I’d feel like another NFC North team would be a good bet.
Minnesota it is!
Ok by me. It’s not like the rapist has anything left, and Rudolph the Red Nosed Racist is nobody’s dream date.
Don’t forget about Dwayne Haskins!!
Yeah, I’d be on board with that. However, given that the Stillers like to draft & develop, & generally don’t make big free agency signings, I can’t see it happening…
He becomes host of Wheel of Fortune

After over a year cooped up in the house, I finally got out of the house to go somewhere besides a store or a drive-through. I went to play bar trivia at the local casino. When I played last, the winner got $200 in slot machine money, that would usually turn into about $150 in real money. But the winner in our new post-pandemic world now gets 40% off their food tab, up to a total of $50 (drinks not included) and $20 in slot money, that you can’t touch until the next day. I guess it’s bingo next Thursday for me, which if nothing else shows the depths to which we’ve sunk.
Congrats on getting out. Was public off putting?
It was fine. There weren’t as many teams as usual. Your typical gang of plague rats I see at the supermarket/Target/Walmart creep me out more than the casino crowd.
Fuck Brett Favre with someone else’s cock, maybe Vishiante Schiancoe’s
Man that Ice Giants-Ice Patriots game was brutal
Called it.
I’m fairly certain if any more players get hurt, I’ll be dressing for New York on Saturday
Insist on meeting James Dolan in person to sign your contract, then punch him right in the balls.

I always thought those were one of the uglier 1940s Navy fighters. Still, glad to see people keeping them flying.
As opposed to George H.W. Bush, who was one of the prettiest 1940’s Navy fighters.
Highly modified F8Fs are still very popular on the air racing circuit. Going to the Reno Air Races is still a goal of mine.
The F4U is pretty, but the rest, well, they all have nice personalities.
Is this the bk109 bat signal?
I like how the company that is selling a $3m antique warplane has a 1-800 number.
As for looks, the F4U is about the only WWII Navy plane that looks good. The Wildcat and Hellcat are pretty meh looking. The Catalina looks good, if that counts.
I like how there’s a toll-free number to call about buying a $3m antique warplane.
Operators are standing by!
The Northern San Diego faithful were on the tweeters today praising their QB and offense. From what I remember from last season, their offense wasn’t bad. It was their defense that sucked the ass hair of Rivers.
For the hard-suffering Ontarians out there, Defector made with “Senators Week” and took a run at Eugene Melnyk today.
As a non-hockey, non-Canadian style person, I had to look him up. He’s only worth 1.2 billion. Not rich enough to marry Bill or Melinda.
Just remember that “Canadian billionaire” carries the same cachet as “French virgin”. They exist, but it’s rare to actually meet one.
When I went back to my wife and BC Dicks hometown there is a shop that has been on “You gotta eat here” (canadia!) Anywhoo it’s a pie shop. I bought a couple 1/2 size pies and completely forgot about them. Even though we were supposed to have one for my bday, (waaayyy too much wine and weed for the memory). I remembered tonight. Incoming Blueberry Peach.
They do make a good pie. Did you get the top or bottom half?
Who here isn’t a bottom type of guy?
Do you deliver?
And is it flaky and moist?
It was fucking superb with a Cabernet and Moroccan hash.
This week in What Day Is It?, the most popular pandemic game:
Yesterday, I though it was Thursday. I spent most of today wondering “When is Saturday?”
All week has been Monday this week. Wprst week in a year.
Typo stays. Because.
It’s rarely if ever Friday.
