Yesterday nine teams’ rookies reported to training camp. And today the Jets have fully opened up camp, as they’re playing in the Hall of Fame Game. There’s football actually on the horizon! The important stuff:
-Steelers, Alex Highsmith agree to 4 year, $68M extension.
-He ain’t cause he’s not: Denzel Mims no longer represents New York, don’t got it on his back. The Jets will either trade or waive him, depending on whether they can find a partner for the former.
-N-GCP All-Pro OG Zack Martin is considering holding out of training camp due to wanting to restructure his contract.
CrimeBeat! updates:
-An assault charge against Titans OLB Rashad Weaver has been dropped. The case has been closed and the trial, scheduled to begin yesterday, was canceled.
-However, DT Perrion Winfrey was released by the Browns due to him being a suspect in an aggravated robbery case. This is after the second-year player was arrested in April for misdemeanor assault (charges later dropped due to a pretrial diversion program).

Man, next week’ll be fun. You know, the same way Grave of the Fireflies is. (I haven’t seen it, because Senorita Weaselo and I are purposely putting that off.) Why? Well, that you can find out next week.
Some of these here Shamrock Sapphos ™ is pretty cute!
That’s really fucking good
Goodnight, fellow daredevils!
I love this guy

So I read the synopsis for “Barbie” on Wikipedia. Uh, yeah. Does anyone have a quick second or two to help trepan me?
I sure Ken!
I’ll skip it. My Barbie married George Harrison, and kissed him
On. the. lips!
We’ve been over this…
My D&D session just involved a reference to a “greased-up gnome,” and I’m only sorry that none of my fellow players know about Lowratio.
you confuse a dwarf with a gnome and brother there’s gonna be shin-level hell to pay
Gnomes rule!
David can eat goblin shit and burn in Hades.

We had another wicked hail storm last night. Will do a damage check walk around after the run. Still too dark now. With the garden in full swing I hope my tomatoes survived.
Hope all the deliciousness is okay!
Mine didn’t last weekend. I watched them get destroyed. My critter nets on my other planters guarded them surprisingly well.
My net did the trick last week. Hoping that it held up last night too.
Coach Belicheck would be happy, the net, did it’s job (jerb in Hippo speak).
Garden is OK couple tomatoes knocked off the vine, those will go in tonight’s salad. Life goes on.
My garden is finally producing edible tomatoes – just in time for spider mite season!
Yeah I’m looking to spray them this weekend. No sign of them yet this year but I’m goin preemptive.
What did you say you used?
I use a paraffin active ingredient spray. We had talked about this a couple months ago. You had little luck with it but it seems to work pretty well over here.
I’m gonna eat some tomatoes first thing when I get home, so good when they’re in season
Gonna watch ‘Grave of the Fireflies’? Make sure you have enough tissue paper on hand. That movie would make Chuck Norris bawl like a baby and kick the ass of anyone who gives him any shit about it.
It’s the one Ghibli film we’ve conveniently put off. Others we’ve just accidentally put off, like The Cat Returns.
Well that’s just fucking peachy. Was thoroughly excited to drink a Golden Road mango beer tonight; I pour it into a glass and it’s contaminated with a bunch of nasty sediment. Pour out another, same story. Now I gotta go bitch at someone and demand my money back. All I wanted was a cold beer, goddamnit.
This never happens with freezer Vodka. And if it did, you’d be too drunk to notice or care.
Plus the vodka would sterilize whatever it is!
MOAR sediment? MOAR protein!
Maybe they added extra mango powder?
God only knows. Cuba Libre to the rescue.
This wouldn’t happen if you drank a good manly American beer like Bud Light.
Oops, I mean Modelo.
Oops.
Anchor Steam? That’s a goddam shame, by the way.
STOP GROOMING ME
– Jim Tomsula, during the delousing procedure
Your fault for getting that stupid beer.
Golden Road does a nice “10 Hop Hazy” IPA though.
The fruit cart beers are delicious on hot days.
They have a Spicy Mango that I like.
OH NO TOO SPICY BETTER DRINK ANOTHER BEER lather rinse repeat
I actually like the mango one, haven’t tried the other two.
The other two are fine, but I like mango the best.
40 minutes from gate to gate, with some idiot who didn’t open the door to the immigration area trapping the entire flight in the gate plus a delayed people mover, pretty damn good! I think the MCT is 90 minutes
Edit: AND precheck was closed
Dear ORD,
Get. Your. Shit. Together.
¿What did I ….? Oh yeah…
As forts go, it’s ORDinary, shit that’s awful, will go flog myself
He always was the forgetful one, that’s what Cassie was there for.

Wasn’t there a character on The Tick who was “the Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs At Midnight”?
Yep, and he was makin’ gravy without the lumps.
Yeah baby yeah!!!
I guess all Chelsea had to do to get back to form is revert to a League 2 schedule.
One assumes you’ve mocked yer paw accordingly
Still taxiing to the gate, precheck better be open over in T1
I got tix for Oppenheimer tomorrow. Think Episode 7 was the last time I went to like a movie opening (the tickets for tonight didn’t work with my schedule).
Bill Parcells is gonna jerk off so hard to that movie.
So you’re saying that Parcells will be ‘turning Japanese’? Oh, the ironing!
ah really think so!
SPOILER – he kind of turns into a pussy later in life smgdh
Let us know how it is, I’m curious about it myself and considering venturing out to a theatre for the first time in probably about 10 years
heh, I am close to 15! Whatever Xmas Django Unchained was in theaters.
My last one was the Turing movie
Did everyone smuggle apples into the screening?
The first The Incredibles movie over here.
/nearest movie palace is 70 minutes away, so there’s that
FUCK, now I am impressed
We went to a movie in Palm Springs a few months ago, but it was a screwball comedy from the 30’s. I can’t remember the last time I went to a new movie in a theater. I did see the Secret Life of Pets at a drive in, whenever that was!
I was hearing on the radio that it’s expected to make $60 million on opening weekend, compared to $140 million for the Barbie Movie. We truly are a dying empire.
This is some consolation though
I would much rather watch Margot Robbie than a sausage factory. But, to each his own.
Yeah, it’s an easy fucking choice. Margot Robbie looking pretty versus a serious movie about nuclear war.
Why the fuck would I go to the movies to get depressed?
Listen, I will shit on Interstellar all day long, but you really can’t argue with this kind of track record for Christopher Nolan:
Memento
The Dark Knight
The Prestige
Batman Begins
Interstellar
Inception
Dunkirk
The Dark Knight Rises
Tenet
Now that is a list of movies I have no interest in watching, except for Batman.
Memento? The Prestige?
I mean come on, Dunkirk?
Nope. Not one of those peak my interest at all. Maybe if Winona Ryder was it one?
That’s a pretty good string of films, except for Tenet. I’ve sat through some pretty terrible movies, and I gave up on Tenet about halfway.
First game, though an exhibition, without Pubelessdick, and Chelsea is winning. Not a coincidence.
Isn’t half of last year’s squad playing in Saudi Arabia?
I thought the PGA resolved the LIV Tyler drama.
I complain about the Tungstens a lot (justifiably), but the Yankers have LeMahieu batting cleanup so I guess it could be worse.
Some extra hurt for the Cornblowers’ Hurt Locker 2nite!
The Yankees under Hal Steinbrenner are going to be a running disappointment.
Or, and hear me out, satisfying.
“Siri, remind me to call Spam when Ohtani gets traded to the Giants in three weeks.”
You spelled Doyers wrong. Should have asked the dwarf.
For players dying of heatstroke this summer I’m setting an over/under of 0.5 for the NFL, 3 for college football, and 6.5 at the high school level.
Total of Euro old people who don’t have AC? In the thousands.
I’ll take the under on the first two and the over on the third.
High school football coaches are generally some the worst and dumbest people on the planet.
