It’s a long wait until September 5th when the real stuff starts. Actually, we’re all old dogs (one of us is rockinng!) so time flies by real fast so I’ve made my own point moot.
I like the idea of coaches handing the duties over to up and coming guys in the preseason. That shit should be obligatory for each team one time. There you go.
To The Games!
Panthers/Buffalo:
I still think the wr room is a mess because Shakur might end up with the most yards and he only got on to the field initially as a gadget guy. Though if you were to listen to Diggs, he would tell you that even if they had an unstoppable superstar at the position they wouldn’t pass to him often enough.
Pitt/Det:
The Steelers best rusher this preseason? Fields, of course. Is he going to be converted into a “Wildcat” sorta player? That would be a great way to get him on to the field but Arthur Smith is stuck in the 50’s so not gonna happen.
Bal/GB:
Which Packer wr are you going to take a flyer on? There’s Wicks, Watson, Melton, Reed, Doubs and oh my! If Marshawn Lloyd is healthy I can see the team dropping AJ Dillon. Remember when old white fantasy ‘experts’ went gaga over the size of his thighs in rookie camp? Good god, that was so cringey.
Minny/Philly:
It’s the Battle of the Preseason Undefeateds. Which team ending in “Y” will emerge victorious?
LA/Hou:
Boston Scott is on the Rams now? He can no longer hurt this Giants fan.
LA/Dal:
Is Trey Lance being groomed (in the good way, not the Jared Subway way) for the starters job in 2025? (Dallas morning sports radio implodes)
NYG/NYJ:
New Jersey’s finest battle it out! I hope it’s a 3-3 tie.
Cle/Sea:
My theory is that because Sam Howell started an entire year for the Commies, even though they had no other viable options, he’s going to be in the league forever just like Colt McCoy. The latter was the starter for 13 games in his second year and just retired in 2022.
Enjoy.

Appropriate tonight.
In an actual game that is happening as this text being typed, Hawaii leads Delaware State, 14-7 at halftime in Honolulu.
28-14 Hawaii, six minutes left
Between the fatal OD I had to finish this morning’s shift, and the baby being rescued after being inside a locked, parked pickup truck in the 15 minutes ago, been some shit this weekend so far.
It’s definitely the last weekend of summer, yinz folks. Hug your loved ones, and take a moment each day to try to appreciate what you have.
Folks we have a real win and get in game tonight in the AFL.
Let’s go Dockers!
This is fucking huge.
Ever since a resto co worker described how he “docked” a gentleman acquaintance the night prior, I can nae take them serioUsly.
Sounds like someone was behind on their Urban Dictionary!
Does it not mean withheld pay?
Or maybe he shortened the guy’s tail?
Sir, on this site we do not cheer for pants
It’s a gigantic game!
I think we all know it’s time for ZZ Top.
Did I mention I am alone in the basement where I have my booze?
That’s ZZ Top at Top Volume Time!

ZZ Top? Ok!

Good morning all. Sunday is my sleep in (until 0500) day. Did I miss anything in my time warp overnight?
If you went through multiple time warps and ended up here anyway, would you notice?
Probably not.
Cavalry have won 5 in a row. Represent.
See, my gifted scarf proudly displayed in the home gym has brought them extraordinary powers.
Fucking rolling. 2 pts back from 1st. Full house today. Decilitre was on the drums. I am growing a hoolie.
Cool!
/assumes “hoolie” is Canadian for “second penis”

Future SIL is now in charge of getting me to a game this season. He’s from Venice so we’re looking for a game here hosting them. I’ll post a boots on the ground when it happens.
Totally get in with the SIL. Best move.
Guess who is drunk in the basement after a yuge futbol win in extra time?
A disobedient Lowratio?
Next year.
Then who will be sending shitty Vodka, kd, and a Big Turk?
I’ll save WCS the 200 word minimum for his Steelers preview:
This is the year Tomlin’s streak ends.
That’s all you need to know.
They will be so bad.
I somehow think they go 11-6. IT’LL BE DONE THIS WEEK
/disembodied voice of Ron Howard: “It wasn’t.”
Hey, shut up!
It’s my first non-based ballz or Olympic weekend at 9-1-1.
THERE ARE SPORTS BEAUTIFUL WONDERFUL SPORTS
Another upside down NASCAR!!!
Anyone else have Cleveland Seattle?
HOX!
Geno looked amazingly competent. Be calm and let it pass.
So the Parentals Weaselo’s 35th anniversary is coming up this Monday, so in true Weaselo siblings fashion, Hermana Weaselo came up with an idea, like, last year, to a record a song.
Which we started working on a week and a half ago.
And I’m in charge of producing.
I have never produced a track in my life, so this is just called “I’m gonna fuck around with Garageband and let’s see what happens!”

Sup?
UFC has got to be just tickled pink that ESPN is showing the 4th quarter of North Alabama vs. Southeast Missouri State instead of the UFC fight night.
I’m a little miffed myself, but whatever brings Dana White closer to an aneurysm is OK by me.
My son just called his mother because his car broke down.
Son, you live in Vermont. We live in CT. The time when calling us about things like this is long past.
He’d be better off calling WCS.
Quinceañera update: This got dark real quick. The birthday girl has cancer, was bullied, lost a ton of friends, and I think she may have attempted suicide fairly recently. Holy shit!
At least she’s not a Dolphin fan though.
At that point an exorcism would be the answer.
Have you stumbled into a telenovela, by chance?
Might help if you tell her she’s as pretty as Peter Griffin.
Worst John Hughes reboot ever
Confirm date-consistent IG posts with scuttlebutt from the single aunts’ table. It’s social science.
So we had to take one of the floofs (our youngest rabbits) to the vet as he was not acting like himself. One emergency surgery, one more year added till I can retire, and removal of a large hairball later and he is home and resting. I will now get stoned and collapse.
Yikes, that’s a good bunny dad. Stop serving them hair for dinner.
well, he can hardly feed them hare, that would be twisted smgdh
They shed, oh lawd do they shed, and unlike other animals, rabbits lack the ability to regurgitate, so they can’t do like cats and throw up hairballs.
How do you know they have hairballs then, if you aren’t stepping on them at 3 am?
Is he cuter than this one?
Close.

The fully caramel colored one.
That’s a fine looking bunny
Currently at a Quinceañera, trying not to yell as the Lions continue to play like shit and just conceded a touchdown. Fuck!
You mean “500 feet away from a quinceanera”
I’m also torn because tomorrow I’m going to have Native American food from a hot popup restaurant.
I think I’ll try a Cubano or carnitas burger next
Both of those sound amazing.
The pinnacle of Jets/Giants matchups.
https://youtu.be/p0sfbeCbAbU?feature=shared
I hate your memory.
This doesn’t look like any of the 9/11 footage I’ve seen before.
the Jets make it all the way to the end!
9/11 is like the Super Bowl Falcons. 3/4 complete, but some goddamn patriots fucked them in the fourth.
Wow, FIVE interceptions for Trois Lance today. Nathan Peterman’s suddenly worried about his roster spot.
He should change his name to Cinco
Trey Lance has more pick-sixes than a New York Lottery drawing on Little St. James
Speaking of New Mexico, I still haven’t forgiven ya’ll for ditching last years DFO con in Las Vegas
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_Vegas,_New_Mexico
I had to buy Navajo fentanyl all by myself!
Sorry, we didn’t take that left at Albuquerque.
But I was in Vegas with Dok and Litre and Spam and Rev and Armed and Hammered and our consigliere DonT and Blax and did you get the wrong date?
Because I will have a harsh talking to with my office admin for fucking up the scheduling.
Oh shit and Brick was there too.
We had an amazing steak dinner at the top of Binions me and Brick.
Brick going to be able to rejoin us anytime soon?
He’s fine he’s got a project.
Holy shit.
Sounds even more awesome than that L.A. bar crawl. And I loathe Vegas.
It was a great time, especially since we were in old Vegas.
Those Asian blackjack ladies were merciless. I can still hear them in my nightmares
FIVE EIGHT THIRTEEN SIXTEEN TWENTY ONE
She wanted me to perish on Monday.
Oh I was wasted in Vegas with you folk for 3 days. Eagles beat Cowboys. Nice.
Go Birds.
But you almost had the Jalen Hurts Touchdown thing.
Las Vegas NM sucks more than you can get just reading Wikipedia
As my oldest is interested in the biz I’m starting to look at non-Florida communities for multi-week stays. Austin, Santa Fe, Tucson, Baton Rouge, Reno-all of them seem to have their charms. Any other mid-range cities that have caught your fancy?
Wichita?
Santa Fe for sure.
Oddly enough Reno might be the most redneck of every city you mentioned.
Lovely part of the country though.
I’ve actually got Santa Fe as a fallback retirement community.
It’s mighty dry and mighty high. You’ll get some snow too.
All my chilluns is currently Out West, and if they stay perhaps I will look into this. Cats would be angry with me, though.
We’re looking for a lake house in the Carolinas, when we can retire.
Y’all must be MOAR bug-resistant than my WASP ass.
We’ve lived at Camp Lejeune, Cherry Point and the Outer Banks, and just really like North Cakalacky. Orange- and LimeJello are both living/working in Raleigh, so it just makes sense to us.
If you survived in the Camp Lejeune area, you’ll make it anywhere!
That is our other option, maybe in the Cashiers region. Plus it is close to my home town.
If you wait a little longer, the ocean will come to you.
My 16 year old cat has lived in the following places:
1. Birmingham AL
2. Orlando FL
3. Birmingham
4. Birmingham ( different house)
5. Bozeman MT
6. Corona CA
7. Big Bear Lake
8. Desert Hot Springs
Cat’s are both portable AND adaptable. Roam where you want to!
You’ve lived in some pretty KEWL places. And also Orlando.
(Hippo still has PTSD re how long it took Kruger to stop pissing on things after we moved across town)
We were only trapped in Florida for a year. That was more than enough. It was the year after our son died, so no place was going to be good. We did have a nice pool in our yard there.
Wife and I love the hiking-thought that New Mexico could scratch that itch.
Pacific Coast Trail ftw
There’s plenty of that in New Mexico.
Yachats, Oregon is heaven on earth (on Pacific coast), Corvallis is probably the mid-range city closest to it (and I have heard good things about it, too)
Cheap too. Some FOF have a giant house in Albany (the abutting town to the east) that was like $600k
Another rec – Boise, ID
Moline Illinois.
Now just wait a second.
Hear me out.
The context was a Canuck going to an interesting warm place in the winter months. Moline doesn’t cut it.
ah mean, gots to be warmer than The Canadia??
Richmond, VA and Walla Walla WA. We are thinking Walla Walla ourselves for the wine and pace of life.
Just an FYI: Eastern Washington isn’t just MAGA country. It’s Bundy wackos MAGA country.
It snows in Santa Fe. That’s why there’s skiing there. But everyone still goes to Taos.
Santa Fe also has a great amphitheater as one of its arty highlights.
Ayobananas???
NEVER A DOUBT!
What happened to old D.K. [Inouye] Metcalf?
WHOOP!
Literally, every single deep ball is a Fightin’ Ayos DPI
NAWT FAHR! NO ONE DENIES THIS!
FUCK AND YES! GO CATS!

Late August Saturday afternoon in music form.
Is New Mexico or New Mexico State MOAR Team Walt? Teh ppl demand an answer.
I ran a track event at UNM once in high school. Place seemed neat and I understand why no one came out of there at the time but some blood-doping Sudanese.
My oldest spawn is doing a doctorate vocal performance year at UNM right now! She ain’t the runner of the three, though.
The dry air is good for the sinuses, is the first impression I have heard.
If you like nose bleeds.
How’s their DMA strings program? Asking for a friend. Your friend.
(I’m your friend.)
I shall ask!
That’s awesome.
UNM is in Albuquerque. Albuquerque is totally in on the Breaking Bad grift. The guy who was Hank’s partner is a state politician because of it.
GOMEY!!!!
Good evening degenerates, I open with the best presidential sign I’ve ever seen:
“Presidents are temporary, Wu-Tang is forever.”
TWO fumble return TDs? Appears the boys joined me for breakfast freezer vodka!
Have you told them to DUE BETTER. Because you should.
THEY LISTENED!
You know, one of my favorite things about daniel k inouye airport is the garden section outside the terminal. I’ve never been to another place that had something like this after security.
I did fly out of Sante Fe once and you could hang out on the deck looking at the planes. But that place is a SOFT fucking target.
The red chile side here was better than the burger. I’m trying to decide whether to tough it out and hit another spot now or wait until 6ish
Get back in their Soldier!
You’ve got work to do!
That last comment section was a gas.
I’m sorry that UNM sucks and always has. It really shouldn’t be 1-A, but it’s the flagship school of the state and all.
Brother TAJ just picked up an insanely good meal of carnitas, fresh made directly in front of him corn tortillas with red and green salsas, rice and beans and pickled onion, jalapeños and carrot and he got them in a big community gathering in Wilmington, Pedro’s next door neighbor.
A lot of folks, meaning white folks, are afraid of going to Wilmington and even Pedro if we’re being honest, because of the racial makeup of the neighborhood.
If you treat everyone with dignity, respect and kindness you’re welcome anywhere and they treat you like family.
Broaden your horizons folks.
Just don’t be a “Gringo” is what I’m saying.
Any word yet on whether electing Kamala Harris will result in a taco truck on every corner? I always thought that was Hillary’s best policy proposal.
We’ve got pretty close to that right here.
There are TWO al pastor places that carve their shit right off the tropo and make their own salsas.
Hell yes, Kamala!
Kamala delivering my personal fave to every corner — Ethiopian Restaurants.
Damn I love Ethiopian food.
Have to drive to Fairfax to get that though.
Not after KACKLIN KAMALA gives your street to African pirates.
It’s a little embarrassing but I live not far from there and haven’t been.
Queens already has FIVE halal carts on the same corner by me!
NOTHING wrong with that.
Manhattan would have gotten them, but the plans for the Ground Zero Mosque were thwarted by Sarah Palin.
White people are their own culture. Pedro knows to keep out of the Twin Pines Gated Community and Shandra knows the best Mexican* means “this side of the tracks”.
Don’t force these people together.
I love Jerry Jones as the shining example of the clueless, somehow successful business owner that thinks that his actions have contributed to the value of his franchise. What a dumb piece of shit.
Oilman. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Boy would I love this to dispute this indisputable fact.
YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
