NFL Nuggets:
It’s one week to the start of training camps. WHAT WILL AARON RODGERS DO?!?!?!
- Well, there is some news out of Green Bay today.
- Marcedes Lewis was asked for his opinion, and AR12’s fifth option thinks he will show up.
- “I think so,” Lewis definitively said.
- Because they are a public company, the Packers released their 2020 financials, and it shows how bad 2020 was.
- The Packers lost $38.8 million in 2020 national revenue (TV rights; merch sales), and local revenue losses of $149.1 million last year.
- The local revenue drop from 2019 to 2020 was a 70.7-percent plunge, from $211 million to $62 million.
- It allows for some extrapolation across the league, and that becomes some justification for the 17th game.

- Marcedes Lewis was asked for his opinion, and AR12’s fifth option thinks he will show up.
- The NFL Network will broadcast 23 live preseason games this August.
- It works out to at least seven live games per week, given that it’s a three-week preseason this year, plus the Hall of Fame game.
- I hope you like local commentary!

- A tale of two running backs, looking to get to work.
- Saquon Barkley doesn’t know when he’ll be able to start practicing.
- “[I] Just have to continue to listen to my body, listen to my trainers, listen to the coaches and take it day by day.”
- Adrian Peterson is looking to get signed somewhere.
- “I still feel young. I still feel good. I’m ready to play ball.”
- It would be his 15th season if it happens.
- He joins Frank Gore, LeSean McCoy, Le’Veon Bell, and Todd Gurley in looking for work.

- Saquon Barkley doesn’t know when he’ll be able to start practicing.
- Michael Irvin & Cole Beasley are having a media moment about vaccines.
- Irv was quoted as saying, “If you’re unvaccinated that means you don’t want to win badly enough,” in reference to the Cowboys not yet being at the vaccination threshhold.
- “If you’re not one of them teams [at the threshold], are you really thinking about winning a championship? You see what I’m saying.”
- So PFT decided to ask Cole Beasley what that means to him.
- Beasley responded with, “You can be vaccinated and not do all the right things football wise to be at your best. All it means is players are gonna be out there with covid and we won’t know cause they only get tested once a week so the NFL can make their money.”
- Irv was quoted as saying, “If you’re unvaccinated that means you don’t want to win badly enough,” in reference to the Cowboys not yet being at the vaccination threshhold.

Go to Vietnam!
That’s always worked out well for America.
They never faced the Mighty Zymm!
It’s my understanding that come all without, come all within, you’ll not see nothing like the Mighty Zymm.
So way less than 1%?
HOAX!
So, after a fiasco with this trailer of air conditioned, fully plumbed trailer for bathrooms, I finally made some headway with the project engineer who had this trailer brought in while the locker rooms are being renovated. So, now they will post instructions on how to use the toilet properly. This might sound stupid, but they really are needed for reasons. I am an accountant, not a plumber, and I don’t need to deal with these issues anymore.
I hear your pain. They started removing the asbestos tiles today. The house is tarped off but we didn’t have to do the negative air thing, thank God.
I hope they get things done without any complications.
Back atcha. Thanks
Alaska airlines just invited me to spend miles to watch the Giants game from their suite on the 27th. I’m gonna be in Chicago, otherwise I would consider it, it actually sounds pretty fun
I’ve flown Alaska Airlines round trip first class from LAX to DCA for several years and they never invited me to shit. Where is their “suite” located?
Alcatraz. You get binocs.
Seriously. I’ve been flying first class with them for a decade.
Maybe they don’t like that I keep redeeming my points for free flights.
It’s in Oracle, this is pretty clearly for people who are SFO based. I know they’ve had tie ins with the Seahawks for Seattle based people. It might also be because I have top tier status with them right now
Anyone have opinions about Boise, Idaho?
I actually hear tell it’s amazing. Like a cheaper, colder version of the Boulder, CO area.
My former secretary was a Boise State grad. She was in NC for like 3 years, then went back.
All I know is what I see on TV, so I assume the grass there is blue. That’s just weird.
Won free admission to the Corn Maze. I was in Idaho Falls which isn lovely, kinda racist tho. Nonetheless corn maze state fair is great.
I lived in Idaho Falls when I was in the Navy.
I’ve been to the potato museum in Idaho Falls. “Free taters for out of staters” was their motto.
I forgot nukes went there. I’ve driven through it, when going from Bozeman to SoCal.
Yeah, I’ve heard Idaho is terribly racist or angry militia or Mormons who hate/shun outsiders. Just what I have heard though. Never experienced Idaho myself.
Up around Hayden Lake they used to have a large neo -Nazi colony of Aryan Brotherhood members.
Don’t have an opinion about a place you’ve never been to.
I’ve been there and there, and I think the prettiest girls in these United States are Mormon girls from Idaho and Jewish girls from Long Island. Also girls from either of the Carolinas.
Oh, I’ve been there, in the late 80s & early 90s. The Jehovah’s Witnesses I used to live with would cross the border at Yahk on weekends to proselytize in the panhandle. I went along for the ride & grocery shopping, and saw more than my fair share of those flags hanging from fences.
I also said “used to”, because I also know the region has cleaned up a large portion of those beliefs & believers.
Not denying the lovely ladies.
“The Jehovah’s Witnesses I used to live with” is a story in itself my friend.
Yup.
I mean, I have never lived in Death Valley, but I am pretty sure I’d hate it.
I kinda love corn mazes, especially the worlds largest one

More Mormons per capita than Salt Lake City. It was almost the national headquarters.
HARF HARF NO THAT IS PENIS FUN EVEN IF SHE SAYS NO WHATEVER THAT MEANS
The Ben should have been an Olympic athlete, because he wouldn’t have understood “No!” in 35 languages.
They just want them to know what it feels like to be a winner!
Still better than NY JETS SANCHEZ 6 sheets.
At least they were disease-free, unlike Leinart blankets.
The cliff scene from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, with Paul Newman and Robert Redford. This was shot near Durango Colorado, although the the actual jump was filmed at the old Fox Ranch in Malibu with a glass plate for the VFX.

a’ight, then. Who in this here Clubhouse is an Elvis Person vis-a-vis Beatles Person? Like Uma said, you can be only one.
Hippo – ELVIS Man
My goodness I love both. Uma was wrong.
Also Phil Spector.
How DARE YOU cross Ms. Thurman!!
Yo, team Elvis here, at least as long as we limit it to their music. Elvis had some weird shit going on in the mamma issues department
I have taken to emphasizing a lot of things “like a fucking lady”
Thanks gumbygirl
Fucking A!
All too accurate
Jesus.
McCarthy could have picked a worse roster, but he would have had to include Boebert and Greene and that’s just too much damn crazy for one panel.
Look out #JellyNation…the Most Glorious el beisbol Cardinals is about to be .500!
Don’t mind me, I has a very addled mind.
You are a good internet friend but fuck you.
Don’t b all jelly we let u win 1 at least smh
Everything must be done so the Blue team does not win. Low Commander will agree.
I just want to be slightly less shitty than the Bastard Man Small Bears. Being a Toffee* has helped me re-calibrate my dreams.
*see also, life in general
I just want to say that I hate the constantly changing and inconsistent EU entry requirements, my job, and the most recent version of google maps where they put lots of useless crap that you can’t minimize on the screen so you can’t actually see where you are going on the map
Also a special shoutout to the UK and Brexit, I am super happy y’all lost the Euros final in the most painful way possible since you’ve managed to make any travel that touches the UK as convoluted and painful as possible. It was a rare victory for global karma.
Seeing all those Brexiteers whining about how much worse everything is now is a special kind of schadenfreude.
I do feel bad for all the people who voted “stay,” though.
I really want Scotland to secede and a Free Wales movement to pop up
You should come to Texas, where we got so much goddamned room you can scroll through multiple screens without coming across anything.
Read the “Fractured Europe” book series, it will bring some empathy.
Nice rec! I just checked it out and ordered the first book! Looks great!
I typed “kinkedin.com” into Chrome one time and it *still* shows up as the first suggestion when I type in the letter K even though it was probably over a year ago.
I cannot tell you what is there because I don’t remember and if I visit the site again it will remain as a suggestion for the rest of my life as a Google product.
Heh, it’s not even a site (that works for me at least) and any attempt to search for it just redirects me to linked in anywa.
It’s real, and it’s spectacular.

The conspiracy theories around the vaccines have more staying power and reach than Peter North
So they started out gay & then transitioned into multiple doses over multiple decades?
I will say it again. I will take 15 doses if it aint make me die. I have done waaay shadier drugs from Kevin behind the 7ev.
They have more staying power than Rush Limbaugh. Cause he’s dead, you see. He ain’t goin’ nowhere!

Ate an orange chicken lunch special that I knew was disgusting when I picked it up. Still ate most of it. That was about five hours ago and I’m just laying down waiting for the food poisoning to really kick in now.
There’s a son of an Iron Chef who gets his dad to spruce up fast food. The one where he turns Panda Garden into something edible is mighty impressive:

If it weren’t too late for me to just barf it up, the idea of Panda Express would make me hurl.
“I’ll have the word salad.”

Christ, I thought I was having a stroke!
I read the whole thing. That was the most lucid part.

They outta offer the gig to Adrian Peterson.
AP being signed will be sure to whip that team’s fan base into a real frenzy
Especially if they want to switch things up at the position.
It’ll really help them whoop the competition.
You guys are really beating this joke into the ground. It’s getting abusive.
I can see this is a really sensitive area

Trying to explain to a five-year-old what the difference between “Betamax,” “DVD,” and, “Big Hero Six,” is easier than getting into space as a civilian.
My fondest memories of Betamax is all the softcore porn movies at Blockbuster were on Beta.
We had a VHS.

Assholes.
