Your Thirsty Thursday Open Thread

All the threads are open these days, aren’t they? Oh well…

It was fun reading the comments in DJ Taj’s post today. Whenever something of significance occurs you can always count on the commentariat to bring it. I couldn’t participate because, you know, work. The month of May is a bastard because as the weather changes businesses ramp up and there’s a ton of crap to do. Today I learned that a ribbed (for her pleasure) tomato’s going price is $2.50 per pound! Also, breaded chicken cheese bites are surprisingly inexpensive. So it goes…

NFL news: (there’s not much but I’ll make do)

From Jags to Bitches: The Trent Baalke Erasure continues. Gabe Davis and his three routes has been cut. Yes, the owner of the Long Crosser, the Go! thingy and the End Zone Jump Ball was shown the door just 14 months after being signed. Baalke paid him near-WR1 money and Brian Thomas Jr. passed him on the depth chart like he was standing still. 20 catches in 10 games? Welcome to your League Veteran Minimum Years, Gabe.

Hubba Chuba: Ever make a decision that ended up looking waaaay better than it actually was because of future events that were completely out of your control? It’s happened to me a few times in my business life and I was given far too much credit. But I yoinked that credit. Hard. The Panthers inexplicably gave Chuba Hubbard an extension after having drafted his potential replacement in Jonathan Brooks. Yes, Brooks was rehabbing an ACL but when he was right he would take the RB1 job away from the effective plodder that was Chuba. Not so fast, Sergei Eisenstein. Of course we know that Brooks blew his wonky knee out again (feel sorry for the kid) and it’s just been announced that he’s missing the entire 2025 season. Chuba is locked up and has no leverage and if by some miracle Brooks can regain form in ’26 the Panthers can get out of the former’s contract. SMRT! (but in a backward ass way-after all, this team is run by a drink-tossing hothead)
