NFL Noise:
Well, His Majesty showed up for the first day of Packers camp. 
- A number of concessions were made to have this happen. According to various Twitters,
- NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero was at the Packers’ shareholder meeting, where he says CEO Mark Murphy “expected more boos”.
- Rapoport reports his contract is only guaranteed through 2021, with its $37 million cap hit.
- Schefter says he will get the freedom to explore trade options after the 2021 season.
- Peter King drools that Rodgers will likely end up in Denver, with the Packers getting two first-rounders & Jerry Jeudy.
- In case Davante Adams leaves.
- Florio thinks Rodgers is a bitch who caved.
- My verbiage might be harsh, but here are actual Florio quotes to defend my phrasing:
- “Make no mistake about it. Rodgers caved. Rodgers folded. Rodgers surrendered.”
- (On Schefter’s quote) “[I]t’s probably hard to get a scoop like this without first agreeing to make it look like a victory Rodgers, even if it isn’t.”
- My verbiage might be harsh, but here are actual Florio quotes to defend my phrasing:
- And ESPN reminds everyone that Rodgers avoids $50,000/day in fines for not reporting.
- Because a guy who’s made $241 million in his career is threatened by the loss of 0.0002% of his lifetime earnings.
- And the signs that the Packers are already doing the little things to keep him happy?
- The Packers released Blake Bortles.
- The Packers are looking to trade for Randall Cobb.
Other things may have happened, but this was what everyone was laser-focused on.

With NFL veterans showing up today, the first preseason game is just nine days away, the August 5th Hall of Fame Game. Surely, the end (of the offseason) is truly nigh.
I got a Door Dash driver fired earlier today.
If a grown man can’t figure out how to be a delivery boy then he really needs to examine his purpose in life.
I know the “experts” says it’s safe to play baseball in Fukushima, but I just watched the DR blow a 3-1 lead with one out in the ninth. The only reason has to be radiation poisoning.
Nevada is implementing a new mask policy. I’m not doing it. I mean it. I didn’t want that shot and I got the fucking thing. I did my part. I always do my part. I pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes. I volunteer in my community. I pick up trash I see at the park. I do my fucking part. Go get the people who aren’t doing to theirs — you’re not getting anything else out of me.
If these cocksuckers in the government want to keep pandering to the fuckheads at my expense, they can find a new job/way out of a bodybag.
Yes, but how do you really feel?
Giants defeat the terrorists from LA. Now 3 games up in the standings.
ELITE is getting heavy – leukemia, drug addiction, etc. They need a Flacco cameo to lighten things up.
Wake me when dommes push for a single-payer health system
Here’s a photo from our last DFO L.A. pub crawl. That’s BFC, Balls, and Son of Spam up front.
Rikki took the photo
Thirst photos are real, tho.
I’m wearing the top hat
Guess I missed that one, too bad, looks fun
Florio is a clown and got snippy at Schefter for implying that A A Ron got a good deal. Rodgers pushed for a quicker out and got it. Bonus! Rodgers is spiteful enough to leave Green Bay after a Super Bowl loss. We should just step back and savor the rancor.
Yup. And you know Florio would have given his left nut for Schefter’s “scoop”. They’re all whores.
The Norwegian double scull flipped during their race. They went from second to drowning in seconds.
THATS GOOD HUSTLE
Social media: Are you living your best life?
Me: /caresses enchilada stain on bedsheets
“US racking up a lot of kills vs. Tunisia.”
Is this a volleyball game or a black operation in Northern Africa?
Found a funny:
Me: do you think he called himself T.S. Eliot so nobody would notice that T. Eliot is toilet backwards?
Librarian: stop talking
I think it would be really cool if the Olympics combined the Surfing competition with the Riflery competition.
Or at least water skiing to have a summer biathlon equivalent
Surfers are the targets
Why not the sharks?
BFC, you’re honestly not getting this joke. I’m going to send a road map over to your house to help you with this.
But why male models?
You’ve been watching Apocalypse Now again, haven’t you?
NAZI SURF PUNKS MUST DIE
Just moseyed over to my neighboUrhood Chinese jersey peddler and I can get an Iggles Flacco jersey. As some of you know it wouldn’t be the worst one I have, looking at you Demarco Murray, Kevin Kolb, Asomugha, Maclin ugggh. That Bleergh that money goes to the Chinese and not Goodell.
I have a Bears Rick Mirer jersey. I bought it for $5 when he got cut. I regret nothing.
Gumby bought a bunch of other team’s jerseys years ago. There was a plan, but I can’t remember what it was. One of them was Tim Couch. I believe that is what the kids call a mikedrop.
I have a buddy who wears an original Ryan Leaf jersey to FF drafts. He was a Chargers fan and thought he would be better than Peyton.
And i thought my Bernard Berrian Bears jersey was bad
A Bears Corey Wooton jersey would be cool.
I am thinking a NonGendered Cowperson Leaf jersey would be pretty slick as well.

Hahaha that’s rocking!
To login I had to do math – correctly, but to prove I am a human. But would not be better to get it wrong. Hell the bots are glorified calculators, so they will always get it right.
Where the hell is everybody? Watching the fucking Olympics? Jesus.
Not me! I’m at the airport, woo
I’m watching gymnastics.
I have feelings about the gymnastics, but I’m still sorting them out. In the meantime
I’m watching baseball.
Watching A.P. Bio, everyone start sitting down and shutting up
That’s quite a switch from your usual.
Oh, Pretend 2112-13 is still ON, muthafucka!
I’m cooking WineWife a steak. Coincidentally, I am also cooking myself a steak.
y’all’s sex talk is mighty weird
I had steak for breakfast. Petit sirloin, so it was kind of trash, but hey, what are you gonna do? Buy meat that’s not on sale? I don’t think so.
I don’t think so.
Went to the grocery store. Got some hatch chilies — I think there will be some chile verde in my future this week.
Well I need bail money. If any of you can come down to the CHP precinct in Van Nuys I’d appreciate it. If you can also bring a pistol that’d be even better.
PRO TIP: Never smuggle an iPad in your anus. It is really not worth it.
Just ask for my good buddy, Officer Poncherello. He’ll straighten everything out for you.
I almost used the Ponch and Johnny joke.
I was in Playa Vista this morning! Where the heck were you???
I was in Playa del Rey, the adjacent nicer neighborhood.
I’m watching Olympic softball and ignoring a text from my boss
Started watching the Woodstock 99 documentary.
My takeaways ~1 hour in: it was hot, titties, $4 water, more titties, cool music, shitty music, white kids saying the n-word, titties, it was HOT.
Satellite or lander?
Apollo 15 Command Module.
Here’s a playlist for y’all that I made:
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/25XqasCgwswelHSgoYPeuO?si=1vVzHV3kRFG-nIuSBEPWRg&utm_source=copy-link&dl_branch=1
This kid knows his music.
I’m not even sure i finished the first one, but… bookmarking for later
I’ve got 3 more…
Anthony in TX, you are lovely, I’m sure your playlists are wonderful, but Spotify is the devil incarnate and will not get my money again! You wouldn’t believe the hoops I had to jump through to get rid of a subscription I never asked for in the first place!
I hear ya (and thank you!).
I got Spotify years ago bundled with Hulu and now I’m just overly invested. Google Play/YouTube Music is unnecessarily complicated. Apple Music is fine, but a johnny-come-lately and there’s too much I’d have to do to transition. Looks like I’m stuck with the devil I know…
I’ll repost because I didn’t realize the new thread was up:
The surfing competition was phenomenal this year. The typhoon coming in was perfect timing. The changing conditions and the difference in size and shape made this competition a true test for all the competitors. And it was nice to see some fresh faces pull some upsets.
If you get a chance to see the Igarashi-Medina semifinal, please do. That was one of the best head to head heats I’ve ever seen.
Head to head heat is some surefire Buddy Bat Signal
That’s rocking!
Kudos to the Swiss women’s mountain bike team that swept the podium-a very rare accomplishment.
It would have been even more impressive if it had been the Netherlands National Team.
Nice of them to clean the podium.
How’d they do in competition?
Couldn’t get out of neutral.
Would that I had more than just a plus-vote and comment to reward your response. Damn, that’s good.
That’s pretty fucked up that they made them do housework before awarding them their medals.
/apologies to Anthony in TX who beat me to the line here.
Hey, we’re all family here
Only 9 days before I have to start doing game intros? Jeebus fuckballs-I’d better start preparing right now.*
*will most likely wing it the day of, just like always
Start studying Hippo’s league rules and give me the notes.
Thought this was an interesting little article comparing Joe & Ted:
https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/22/opinions/joe-biden-ted-lasso-avlon/index.html
If any of you still have not watched Ted Lasso, do it now. Sign up for the free Apple TV+ whatever trial and watch the show. It’s every bit as good as everyone says it is.
I don’t think there’s been a show in the last ten years that proved me wrong more than Ted Lasso did.
