How Does One Fill The Time? A Thursday Open Thread

Football-wise I’m just counting down the days until the draft hits. There might just be some Ottawa Senators playoff hockey though. Not seen in the wild since 2017! I’m curious what the Giants are doing at #3 and I think they have four in the top 100 but they’ll probably blow it in Year 3 of The Rebuild.

Here’s some football news, such as it is-

White Guy Stays Long Past His Expiry Date: Part the Millionth. 90 year-old Lee Corso is hanging up the Depends in August after 40(!) years on College Game Day. ESPN noted, “He wore funny hats while making his game picks!” Guh. He’ll be missed, for about a week.

Is there a more perfectly-named player entering the transfer portal than ex-Vols QB Nico Iamaleava? I think not.

Good Franchise/Bad Franchise: Is this a riff on a Led Zeppelin tune? You bet your fat ass it is! Browns GM/fanboy Andrew Berry is totally onboard with cb/wr Travis Hunter playing all the reps he wants on both sides of the ball because, “he’s so exciting!”. Over Baltimore way, level-headed Ravens GM Eric DeCosta lowered the boom-(not remotely verbatim but here’s your gist) “We’d find out where he has the most talent and play him there. The game has gotten incredibly complex and there are only so many hours in a day to prepare. He’d get exposed at some point and it would probably be on defense.”

Also Ravens: That rb they signed that ran for 1900+ yards last year? They’re getting him on the cheap for a mere 6 mil in 2025.

Do your thing.

Paging DJ TAJ: the Youngin’s giving Memphis some history and analysis.

I got this cat pillow a while ago that turned out to be a great shape for making my neck not hurt when sleeping on my side. I bought a few of them to stock up and the place I got them from stopped carrying them so I got a squishmallow beaver instead and it is amazing

SonOfSpam

“squishmallow beaver” sounds like a girl I knew in college That’s cool.

2Pack

I was gonna go there too… but… well played sir…

2Pack

Plus you know she was just setting us all up…

SonOfSpam

For sure, Doktors are clever like that.

I watched Waterworld for the first time this evening and [spoilers] he ends up saving the child by performing a bungee jump from a dirigible.

Gatoraids

Moment of reflection in the forum tonight it seems

For a guy who claims to be prioritizing ‘working on himself personally’, Aaron sure is a prick.

Not the most common trait I see in people who are centered.

Gatoraids

self centered ?

Sharkbait

Come on Vikings. Do the thing.

King Hippo

People who talk about working on themselves tend to…not be actually doing so.

Doktor Zymm

Debatable whether they’re just too incompetent to work on themselves without help or don’t really want to because they’re obvs perfect

Gumbygirl

Fuck him. Let’s dance!

Drinking a Yuengling in Chicago!
Memories (kinda blurry ones) of my early 20s are rushing back

Horatio Cornblower

Wash it down with some Malort.

That oughta get rid of all of your memories.

Doktor Zymm

The memories are better than Malort, most of them are pretty good actually. I had a lot of fun and under 20% cringe

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I think I just got a contact high walking down my block.

yeah right

This entire city is that.

King Hippo

Senor Weaselo! Didja wander over to Shea to see some el beisbol teh RIGHT way??

King Hippo

Actually, best to wait until Fri/Sat/Sun

King Hippo

Lee Corso is what Diamond Joe would have been, at the end of a second term. Maybe he would have launched our nukes trying to turn on the TV. And we’d still be doing better than Our Actual Darkest Timeline.

yeah right

Would be have worn ALL of the helmets?

Gatoraids
yeah right

Over the last three days I’ve heard nothing on the news but the Leafs last regular season game is tonight.

The queue of cars heading towards downtown is nuts.

Don’t mind me, I’m the old guy dancing on the 12th floor of that condo building drinking a beer.

King Hippo

Are you saying Leafs, eh?? to everyone who walks by? I sure as shit would.

yeah right

I have been fully indoctrinated into being polite.

I hope it lasts forever.

King Hippo

Nobody in Portugal. The Country will believe you’s a Murrikan

King Hippo

Is your area 90/10 in favoUr of the Leafs, or just like 80/20?

King Hippo

how DARE these Senators even field a squadron against CANADIA’S TEAM!

blaxabbath

If I were a Leafs fan, just to fuck with the Senators, I’d make a big Redskins-level blitz for them the Senators to have to change their names. Then, whatever name they pick, just immediately go to town calling them an expansion franchise and ridiculing them for giving in to stupid complains about their name.

But I live to rivalry.

King Hippo

Must be nice having a 98-pound weakling like Sparky to kick around

(last FITBAW season notwithstanding)

blaxabbath

Pff — they didn’t win The Big One. And that’s all the matters in CFB.

yeah right

My rental has a smart tv with apps and shit and we can’t find the Leafs game?

I need some hockey up in here!

King Hippo

When I was in Ontario previously, I swear 5 of the 9 channels had hockey on

BallsofLacrosseAndMapleSyrup

Look for TSN4

Horatio Cornblower

So our 13-year-old cat didn’t eat most of yesterday’s dinner, didn’t eat breakfast, and just turned up his nose at dinner. He did take two cat treats. He’s also willing to stay cuddled up in your lap, which he *never* does.

If dies on Friday I expect him back Sunday.

yeah right

You do live near a MicMac burial ground.

Yeah, that’s never backfired on anyone before.

Doktor Zymm

I missed the word ‘cat’ in the first line. Caught on by the lap part though

rockingdog

Looks like there’s another protest this weekend the 19th! Spread the word!

Seems Rockingggg!!!! 🇺🇸
