NFL News:
It’s very quiet. So what is available is more pronounced because of the silence elsewhere.
- Urban Meyer is having the expected difficulties adjusting to life in the pros, and specifically around the fact that these players have “contracts” with “stipulations” that “limits” their exploitation.
- The Jags & he already got busted once for violating OTA regulations.
- Players aren’t forced to spend time with him, and can skip voluntary workouts, which weren’t “voluntary” in college.
- he’s frustrated that he has to work within what the law considers “employment guidelines” that have been negotiated & not imposed.
- The Jags & he already got busted once for violating OTA regulations.
- Today was franchise-tag deadline day.
- That means guys like Bears receiver Allen Robinson, Buccaneers receiver Chris Godwin, Jaguars tackle Cam Robinson, Washington guard Brandon Scherff, Jets safety Marcus Maye, and Panthers tackle Taylor Moton will be widely available after the season.
- So long as the gamble they won’t get injured pays off.
- Because they didn’t sign deals before the deadline, they are playing on their one-year tag amount this season.
- It makes sense, since the salary cap will rise next year, so any deal they signed now would be worth less money cumulatively versus signing next year.
- That means guys like Bears receiver Allen Robinson, Buccaneers receiver Chris Godwin, Jaguars tackle Cam Robinson, Washington guard Brandon Scherff, Jets safety Marcus Maye, and Panthers tackle Taylor Moton will be widely available after the season.
- Oof – this Richard Sherman thing.
- Initial headlines were all about the “burglary – domestic violence” charge.
- Following the “If it bleeds, it leads” maxim for highlighting a lede.
- There are also charges of suspicion of resisting arrest and malicious mischief on the table.
- And it’s a “domestic violence” charge because of his relationship to the people whose home he tried to break into – “attempting to force entry into a family member’s home.”
- It’s why, under Washington state law, he was remanded until a bail hearing.
- Following the “If it bleeds, it leads” maxim for highlighting a lede.
- A new day has brought some unfortunate nuance to the situation.
- It all started with a 911 call from his wife.
- He was intoxicated and threatening to kill himself.
- She asked for help, but also pleaded that the responding officers “please don’t shoot,” and said Sherman told her he would fight police if they arrived.
- Soon after she hung up because police were on route, she called again to say he was driving to her parents’ house in Redmond.
- This is what apparently leads to an alleged hit-and-run and DUI while driving through a closed construction zone that preceded the incident at his in-laws’ house.
- He drove into a closed construction site, then allegedly drove away with popped tires before abandoning the vehicle in a nearby parking lot.
- This is what apparently leads to an alleged hit-and-run and DUI while driving through a closed construction zone that preceded the incident at his in-laws’ house.
- He was intoxicated and threatening to kill himself.
- When he arrived at their house, he allegedly tried to break into his in-laws’ home and then fought with officers, who used a police dog to apprehend him.
- Sherman suffered minor cuts to his lower leg that were caused by the dog and was treated at a hospital before being taken to jail.
- The police also got a warrant for a blood draw, since there was an investigation into his behaviour on the highway, so charges of DUI and hit & run are likely pending.
- Sherman suffered minor cuts to his lower leg that were caused by the dog and was treated at a hospital before being taken to jail.
- It all started with a 911 call from his wife.
- The 49ers have said they will support Sherman with appropriate resources during this time.
- Despite the fact he is officially not with the team anymore.
- Initial headlines were all about the “burglary – domestic violence” charge.

Tomorrow is Sexy, so I’ll see you on the weekend. I expect it’ll be quiet in the clubhouse tonight.
I am tired. But maybe I’ll have a sammich before I go to bed
That looks disturbing. But, more real than the Oreo/Mayo combo someone posted before.
Self portrait:
I think “Top Chef Amateurs “ exists simply so Gail Simmons can wear the tight clothes Padma forbids on others when she’s the host.
Anyone watching Love Island tonight? Starts in about 15 (Best Coast time).
Didn’t see first episode, but can probably catch up ok.
Is that different from temptation island? Because still no.
It’s different but not really.
One of the guys is named Cinco, which is really impressing Brett Favre.
This 10.5% beer might fuck with my ability to get work done tonight. I might have to mail one to Horatio to protect myself.
Dike has scored on Martinique 3 times. I would watch that movie.
(watching Die Hard With a Vengeance)
So they find out where the bad guys are who stole all the gold in the Federal Reserve of New York and they only bring one unarmed helicopter. The American Army invaded Canada multiple times over far less.
Easily the second best of the three movies.

My lineup agrees with yours. The fifth one is “A Good Day to Die Hard.” It has Jai Courtney in it, so you know it’s going to suck.
So what you are saying is that I can lick all the doorknobs?

Wooohooo team mixed
Except in Barbados. They do not consider mixing 100% vaxxed.
Meh, not like I’m going anywhere any time soon.
And my second receipt only says Pfizer
I am going to BC Dick Country tomorrow. Bring on the wine.
For the California folk who have their Fauci Ouchie, you can get a digital vaccine record from the state: https://myvaccinerecord.cdph.ca.gov/
I got the QR code, but when I scan it with my phone, it doesn’t take me anywhere. It says I don’t have the software to open the website, which is weird.
What’s the QR code supposed to do?
I think it’s mainly for travel, some places don’t accept the CDC card as proof of vaccination since it doesn’t have anything that makes it verifiable. The QR code is proof that you didn’t forge your CDC card.
Ah! So you take a screenshot/picture of it?
The thing said the link to the QR code is only good for 24 hours.
Yeah, I saved the entire page as a pdf. The link is only good for 24 hours, but the QR code stays valid.
How “A Drive Into Deep Left Field by Castellanos” Became the Perfect Meme for These Strange Times – The Ringer
I just found out about this meme, and I am thoroughly amused by it. Its a shame that it had to occur during one the darkest parts of Reds history with the on-air demise of a great announcers’ career, but at least some good is coming from this.
Not that its good that Thom Brennaman used that slur as it is unacceptable under any circumstance. I don’t mean to diminish his actions or imply it has a silver lining, as there is a drive into deep Left Field by Castellanos and that’ll be a home run. And so that’ll make it a 4-0 ballgame.
Weather in Kansas City for the soccer game…
Temperature is 73 – that sounds nice!
Humidity is 88% – that sounds gross and smelly!
Wasn’t COVID-Positive Aaron Judge at the All-Star Game just the other day with players from all the other MLB teams?
rod1.gif (350×209) (reactiongifs.com)
Oh my yes. This breakout alone may keep the Blue Jays in Buffalo for the rest of the summer.
And they can in turn infect Josh Allen and Cole Beasley! Synergy!
Typhoid Aaron was indeed at Coors Field.
IF SHOHEI IS SICK I WILL KILL EVERY YANKEE I SEE EXCEPT ULYSSES GRABT.
Jesus: “Hey, Dad? The Reds got two players in the NL starting lineup. They are four games back, they just beat the team ahead of them and Cincinnati sports fans are starting to feel hope.”
God: “RESTART THE COVID!”
And escorted Hank Aaron’s widow.
Apparently one of the six (seven actually, since Loaisiga was on the covid list from Saturday) was unvaccinated. The Yankees subreddit is reacting reasonably/trying to figure out who it is.
Best guess is Higashioka or Loaisiga.
Seventy years from now, there will be a remake of Field of Dreams, but the dead ballplayers coming out of the corn will be the 2021 All Star Roster.
Going for the rare Sunday Gravy two-fer. Tonight’s is two weeks ago’s “Chili-Roasted Chicken With Honey, Lemon, and Feta”. Just pulled it out of the oven. I didn’t get the skin crispy like Chef Right, but the house certainly smells like I know what I’m fucking doing.
Went all the way back to Aug. 27, 2017 for tomorrow’s second leg: Grilled Pesto Pork Chops With Garlic Roasted Mashed Potatoes. Got my chops marinating in the fridge. My attitude’s right. Thanks, as always, for the inspiration.
You are living the reason why I do this thing.
Thank you!
I saw the US Men’s National Team was taking on Martinique, and I was intrigued.
Turns out it’s some island country, not a hot French babe.
C’est la vie.
(no, just shut the fuck up Robbie Nevil)
If I were a professional soccer coach, my goal wouldn’t be the Premier League or the US National team.
No, it’d be one of those tiny island nations where you get your ass stomped a lot by the big boys but also get to live on a Caribbean island year-round.
31- Nil is a great book about the backwoods of futbol in small countries. I definitely recommend it.
I’ll check it out. Thanks for the rec!
It’s all fun n games until your shack blows away and a fat American throws paper towels at you.
I have a coworker who’s Puerto Rican. She’s relatively apolitical, but that moment REALLY pissed her off.
Also in hockey news, Ryan Suter and Zach Parise got their contract bought out on the same day, yesterday. They signed identical contracts, for the same team, on the same day 13 years ago. Pretty WEEIRD.
And they still wont be able to make a move for Eichel
Hockey goalie who died a few weeks ago apparently voluntarily jumped in front of some rogue fireworks to shield some other, also goalie, partygoers.
Nice save!
Look, you can’t blame Urban Meyer for assuming players are slaves. Jerry Richardson and the NCAA both taught him they are.
You just know in private conversation he’s said something along the lines of “the players love me, I have Urban in my name!”
This sounds like a banner quote.
I’m pretty sure I found the BlackBerry that was in the package stolen from my front door. It’s posted at the right time, the right color, and in my town. Idiot is trying to get $1500 for it, LOL

I suggest you fuck with them somehow
Just start mailing them a handful of actual blackberries every few days.
Then ask for a cut of the sales
Like 4 posts down on his profile is just a giant boob getting sucked on.
/also holy hell since when does facebook have the ugliest, pants-shittingest UI in web histrory?
//no offence
“also holy hell since when does facebook have the ugliest, pants-shittingest UI in web histrory?”
One of the many, many reasons I dropped off that hell-site years ago. The UI just got increasingly user-unfriendly as the site evolved. That, and all the racism.
Man, this Richard Sherman stuff just screams CTE.
Does that railroad even go through his neighborhood anymore though?
Chugging Tequila Everyday
I’m not certain. He’s always seemed a bit off.
Hey friends,
I was a longtime commenter over on KSK and was a DFO regular for awhile a few years ago but drifted away from the site.
Anyway, I’m back! I look forward to getting back into the DFO swing of things and chatting with you all as we get closer to the new football season.
I hope you’re all doing well.
You aren’t my dad who went for smokes are you? I ALREADY GOT OVER THAT.
(shaking head “yes”) No, it’s definitely not me. I’m a different guy who looks and sounds exactly like your dad.
Oh, would ya look at that? Gotta go get a refill on cigarettes. Anyway, I’ll be right back…
FRESH(ish) FISH!!!!
More like fish warmed over in the office microwave, but I usually smell and taste a little better.
The “healthy option” at McDonalds
Gotta get a Diet Coke to watch them calories.
So, where in TX?
Pearland (Houston suburbs). Born and raised in Houston, and while I’d love to live in the mountains of Colorado, my mom and wife’s parents all live here, so we have built-in babysitters.
You?
Had a shipmate from Pearland. His accent made him sound like Huckleberry Hound.
I’m just north of San Antonio, myself.
Thankfully my wife and I do not sound like brother and sister, although I have encountered a handful of those types around here.
I haven’t been to San Antonio in years. My daughter is 6, so we’re finally in full-on travel age. We might have to make an Alamo pilgrimage soon!
Don’t forget
I couldn’t possibly
Welcome back!
The goldfish died and the plants withered but there’s beer in the fridge and always lofty company around.
Hey, at least the goldfish didn’t go jump in the lake.
I figured the company would stay good, though!
Welcome back. I drank all your booze.
Thanks! I suppose I had it comin’.
Welcome back friend
Enjoy some sexiness
So, the ball game got canceled. The Yankees have a case of the COVIDs.
I am tired of this poor booking and this severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 always using the Heel-Face Revolving Door like its Clark Kent changing into his costume. Either a Heel or a Babyface; pick one COVID-19!
Sorry big fella.
As an add on to my K meal I got a deep fried mozza on a stick with sweet chili and garlic sauces. Hell yes.
Your ketamine dealer brings appetizers? LUCKY!
LA County just announced they’re bringing back a mask mandate. This is fucking ridiculous. Sure, so maybe the unvaccinated will begrudgingly wear their masks at the grocery store now that lying about their vaccinated status isn’t an option, but they’re just going to go to their friends’ houses and hang out maskless and trade viruses anyway.
Let them die and stop inconveniencing the rest of us. Or else mandate the vaccine and fucking put an end to this shit. But the in-between stuff is pointless.
yeah, there’s no point in a mask mandate now, and there is no political will for anything meaningful to get more assholes vacinnated. The world just needs to fucking end already.
We’re going to have to get to a point where we just have to ride this out. I feel like a significant percentage of the unvaccinated will never get vaccinated–a big enough number now that doing anything other than being mindful of our own vaccines and letting them play with their own health is going to have to do the trick, unfortunately.
Cola, how you watching the game?
I have a onesoccer membership due to season tix for the Cavalry, and my love of SexsiMexi futbol in Engles.
however I do know a site that works all the time.

The desire to have a fast food burger has been chasing me lately. I’m guessing the last time was, maybe, 9-10 years ago? I can’t remember. There’s a McDonald’s here in town, an A and W 40 minutes away and several other franchises 2 hours away. Kinda makes it easy to fight off the urge. STILL WANT!*
*I know I’ll feel like absolute shit after gorging, that keeps me away
For me it is a chicken sandwich from that red haired harpy that gets me. The others not so much.
Try the new Swiss Chalet ( if you have them) crispy chicken sandwich. Very good
We have a couple. They seem to have disappeared like Taco Bells and Harveys.
Have had a slight craving for Taco Bell that I have been putting off for a few years even though there’s one in town
Thankfully I’ve got a Whataburger within a 5- and 10-minute drive.
But don’t go to the 5-minute Whataburger. That place sucks. It’s definitely worth the extra driving time.
Lockdown is going to be locked up.
Hope the Haitians are able to deal with the hotter weather in Canada.
Am watching. YOU HAVE A PROBLEM.
Just the one? Maybe you can be my therapist?
Will work for produce. Decilitre is eating me our of house and home.
Ontario peaches, apricots, peas, plums, corn, cherries, strawberries, green/yellow beans, garlic are all available now. Take your pick of the crop.*
*this is a very small part of my responsibilities and yet I’m obsessed with it
