North Dakota State! Montana State! Feel The Excitement!

That’s about all we’ve got for football this evening folks. We watched all 272 regular season games (maybe not all of them) and now it’s time for the important ones.

I’ll throw a few things at you and then you can do your thing.

-The Bears have asked to speak to Mike McCarthy? Does Poles want to know whether Jerry is just that nutty? Ah, it’s early days and they should have a few people to go through-may as well toss him on the list.

-There’s an “Aaron Rodgers Country Club” going on in the Jets locker room? This according to Rex Ryan, who if I’m not mistaken was a player’s coach himself that had great results early on and then the lack of structure manifested itself and then he was canned. Still, I don’t mind guys taking a swipe at Mr. Self Important.

-Btw, if the Jets retain Qaron and Davante Adams, Garrett Wilson would be a fool not to force a trade.

-Sure looks like the Pats/Kraft have their hearts set on Mike Vrabel according to early reports. Sounds like they’ll make the very same mistake they made last year by not conducting a full search.

-Packers will need all the help they can get next round but they won’t be getting any from yet-again injured Christian Watson, who blew an ACL. Most of next year will be a write-off for him and you wonder about his career arc at this point.

-Are the Saints even conducting a coaching search? I’ve not heard a peep or anything. Of course, who the hell wants to walk into that salary cap hell that they’re wallowing in courtesy of GM Mickey Loomis who doesn’t seem to be going anywhere?

Have at it

This was my excitement for the second-half. It seems no injuries; still unknown if the dogs managed to get out. :-/

WCS

Over an hour in, and it’s still burning. Still cannot 100% verify the dog got out. Reports show all people in this and next door have been evaluated; it only lists the neighbor’s address of all people AND animals out.

WCS

105 minutes in, and the fire is still burning.

HOWEVER: I can now confirm that there are no serious injuries, and all pets made it out okay. At least there’s that.

WCS

120 minutes, and it’s finally out.

Unsurprised

I can guess how European men might.

It is 9:20 p.m. and the Dr. Mrs. is steaming the floor.

Sure wish she’d steam some hams instead.

SonOfSpam

That’s more of a Utica thing.

blaxabbath

She seems awesome.

SonOfSpam

All these weird haole behaviors, right bruddah?

blaxabbath

My wife bought a new vacuum at the hale while we were there. Which was funny because I thought the one that came with the place was the absolutely right vac for the house. But, as often turns out once hyperconsumerstic low-priority nonsense is evaluated as meaningful, I was wrong.

The rugs are too thick for a robot vacuum but the sheer amount of floor dirt control (especially relative to a house in the desert with two dogs) required makes it seem like a roomba must be part of the cleaning arsenal. Or a Dr Mrs — which my Vacactioning Peg Bundy is not.

SonOfSpam

til Blax is a shoe salesman

Also, “Vacationing Peg Bundy” might be the name of my new alt-ska/zydeco band.

It’s stupid cold in Yinzburgh this week, so I understand why no one is oout und aboout downtown, BUT

I also didn’t expect to be — so far, anyway — the only CTO with any reports of the dude walking down Smithfield Street, ripping plants out of vases and displays, kicking over garbage cans and throwing the debris, all while shouting swear words loud enough to be heard from a third-floor apartment a block away.

At least he’s keeping warm with all the exercise out there.

blaxabbath

Is that really a 911 kind of call?

Angrily asshole sounds like tazzer bait to me.

Unsurprised

That’s just a normal Portland evening about 20x over

NotShogunButShogun

Anyone else dealing with an interminable cold/flu thing that’s lasted almost 2 weeks? I’ve had it easy, just bare sniffles now, but anyone else in my path is just dying.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

My mother-in-law, but she didn’t have it too bad and didn’t pass it on to us.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

anyone else in my path is just dying.

Also isn’t it wild how quickly that Sugar Bowl massacre fell out of the news cycle?

blaxabbath

No cute white girl victims I guess.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Yeah I guess if you want media immortality the script has already been written. Bonus points if you’re an illegal immigrant.

It wrecked 89% of everyone in my family. I only just stopped hacking up yellow/green/brown yesterday. Today has been the first I’ve had without a random coughing attack.

Bronchitis that became a sinus infection was the most common diagnosis.

WCS

Almost everyone had a four or five day latency period, too. After a week of symptoms, it seemed to go away, but came back for another week-plus.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Yes

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The time to purchase these delectable cookies has passed. But the time to eat them is RIGHT NOW.

Dok should consult one of the law-talkin’ types round here in regards to copyright infringement of “enrobed.”

BrettFavresColonoscopy

My wife is obsessed with those

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I expect she hasn’t shared, because you would be too.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I had a few. I am not a crack addict, sir.

Unsurprised

False. I bought some on Saturday

Evening folks. Working yesterday was a real buzz kill lemme tell ya.

Good news- another td! Bad news- need an onside kick and a field goal to tie with 1:09 and 2 timeouts left. But Go Cats Go!

Another tuddy! Go Cats .!!!

Mr. Ayo

TOMMY!!!! GOAT!

SonOfSpam

Watching “The Big Short” again. (No, it’s not a Lowratio hagiography)

I feel like we’re about to enter something similar; not necessarily with mortgages, but there’s an opportunity coming betting against stupid greedy people. Just gotta find it.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’m worried that it* has already happened and that it’s bitcoin.

*the opportunity to profit from stupid greedy people

SonOfSpam

That’s definitely a thing. But there’s something bigger happening in the next couple years, and it might be adjacent to real estate, but there’s some other angle to be played.

Maybe I’m just tired of working.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I know exactly what you mean; there’s the same kind of feeling as during the GWB administration that the guys who are supposed to be pulling the Britt Reids of the financial world over are simply going to pocket their bribes and wave the drunks right on by, and a spectacular pile-up (that causes life-threatening injuries to a five year-old girl) will be the inevitable result. It might just be assets in general; if your desire to not work anymore is fulfilled by a surge in unemployment (exacerbated by “austerity” measures) and people need to start raiding their “savings” (i.e. investments) the bottom could fall out of a whole bunch of asset classes all at once.

SonOfSpam

Yeah, exactly something like that. And we won’t have any adults in charge, so whatever calamity occurs will last longer than last imte.

Happy Monday!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The funny thing is that I’d trust any single member of the Happy Mondays to be a more responsible financial steward than the crew we’re about to get.

Horatio Cornblower

It’s likely going to be commercial real estate just absolutely imploding as most companies realize that they can largely get rid of their second biggest expense, rent, and stick it on their employees.

ballsofsteelandfury

That’s my guess. Commercial real estate is a year overdue for an implosion.

Gatoraids

yeah its caught in a sick cycle. company i work for bought 8 story build to expand into before pandemic, and theyve been trying to offload it now for 4 years. They might be left with just bulldozing it and rebuilding as mix residential commercial.

Also has caused such unrealistic values that normal profitable small businesses(restuarants) keep getting forced out of long term places.

Gatoraids

was going to be buttcoin with its crash last year, but buttcoin invested in politics and will probably pay off for them in next couple years

ballsofsteelandfury

I should create my own cryptocurrency Hawk Tuah Girl-style and call it Buttcoin.

You needed to get into Bitcoin low, have held on to it, and now be about to dump it at a huge profit.

I, of course, did none of these things.

Mr. Ayo

Yeah. I waited and didn’t get in until $500.

On the plus side I held on to it.

Senor Weaselo

I’m still shocked that that bubble hasn’t burst. At least tulips were fungible.

first nft’s were non-fungible tulips ppl forget that

The new Jets coach would be a fool to not have “I don’t take the job if A-A-ron is back” as a demand.

ballsofsteelandfury

I REALLY want Rex to get the Jets job! What can they possibly be waiting for?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Maybe he’s just dipping a toe.

LemonJello

There’s some serious sole searching going on with both parties?

litre_cola

Probably wants to tank to get Arch.

LemonJello

Can he bring him to heel, though?
