Your Barren Monday Night Open Thread

Well, that was that. Patty will be adding to his legacy going forward but I think it’s safe to say that this will be his worst Super Bowl performance. Went out on a limb there, huh? It’s Monday so I’ll be doing the usual-

Fallout:

-Qaron has been tossed to the gutter by the Jets which is a humiliation the likes of which none of us will ever experience. Good for him.

-Prediction-wise I can pretty much guarantee that Saquon will get injured next year after his usage this year. Philly/Barkley got so lucky this year and reaped the benefits. Aaron Jones is available on the cheap and is a +1 sub.

-The Commanders have a ton of cap space. They also have 28(!) unrestricted agents on their roster. That includes 5 defensive starters and almost all of their wr corps not named Scarey.

-Curious as what Minny is going to do at QB. Darnold blew expectations away so a GM that signed him and was proven right might be inclined to lean in there. HOWEVER. That same fella also drafted McCarthy at the 10th pick and could sit on a rookie contract and open up possibilities.

-What does San Fran do with Deebo? The dude is super frustrated with his (to him) arbitrary usage. But that’s the way that Shanny Jr gameplans. It’s obvious that coach doesn’t have everyone onboard as far as the overall system is concerned. I think Deebo is let go and a mid wr signing is done.

-The Giants QB Thingy: This league has come to understand that next-level QB’s take franchises to the next level. Thing is, Ward and Sanders are at the top of their class and are extremely flawed. If GM Shoen signs a free agent QB (Darnold with a one year out?) and drafts a d/o lineman I’ll know that he isn’t just following the herd. (I don’t have high hopes)

-Read somewhere that the Falcons are in a tight spot money-wise and have a difficult decision to make about whether to re-sign Pitts. There’s a conversation within the organization to extend Pitts! There’s also a conversation within my family whether or not to dump that dead housefly into the garbage.

-OMG Dallas!?: When your father/son GM team loves shiny objects you end up in a situation whereby you have to sign Micah after you’ve just given 100’s of millions to DAK! and LAMB! And then you’ve handcuffed yourself because each of you have to spend hours and hours on scouting which could be spent on hookers and the hookers don’t know anything about defensive backs from historically black colleges and you’ve lost touch with the game so much that you don’t really give a fuck about any player outside the SEC because they get the most coverage when you turn on the TV because you’re that old that you depend on the frickin’ TV to still be a source of salient info? And then your next move is to fire that scout guy that gave you that info in an email despite the fact that you told him to do so. Because you have a lingering memory of your daughter mentioning Snapchat being this cool thing. Your daughter? She’s an extraordinarily talented individual but has no place in the organization because she ain’t got the penis. The End.

Do what you will.

I swear, I’m one “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM” call away from Bingo tonight.

I need aspirin after that one.

Here’s a tip: if you dial 9-1-1 saying you’re afraid for your life because someone threatened you, do everyone a favor and be willing to explain where, who, why, and what’s going on to make you feel that way. Don’t argue with the call-taker why that information “doesn’t matter” and then get angrier that that comes off as confusing at best, criminally suspect (for the caller) at worst. Also, lecturing dispatchers on how to do their jorb — when you called us for help — doesn’t improve the situation.

So I started watching The Pitt, and it’s actually not bad. So I’ve gone back and watched some old ER episodes, and am struck by how it is simultaneously a good, well-paced show, but also has a fuckload of annoying characters and storylines. Like, every time the George Clooney replacement starts doing his brooding thing, I leave to get a snack as if it’s a commercial break. And damn do I not care about the love triangle between him, Carter, and Abby Lockhart.

Here’s a very cropped-in shot of a friend of mine back in 2018. It wasn’t posed; I took my camera and swung around and took this one single shot. It sat in my library unlooked at until recently. When I crop into her eyes they are the most beautiful thing ever. There’s no post-production on this except the crop.

This was taken with my old Canon 5DMkII DSLR with a 28mm lens at 1/30 second at f/4.5 with just an 81A warming filter.

We actually talked about doing that on an official basis with The Big Nowhere by James Ellroy, if you’d like to catch up. Maybe we should do it as a monthly post or something.

I’ve got that, so I could join in.

I finished that one recently and it’s going to be a while before I pick up another Ellroy book.

Very good but Jesus it’s brutal.

I’m done with that. I like to read old football biographies. Last year I read the Brian Piccolo one by Jeannie Morris.

Oh, you know it’s coming…. Deep in a basement in Olathe, some nerdlinger is feverishly working on a statistical analysis on each call / non-call SHOWING how it was rigged against the Chiefs to “upset the narrative”

I have a hard time believing that if this had happened at a point where it would have made the slightest difference to the outcome of the game, they still would have missed it.

“It’s sad to think how much greater the Eagles’ legacy would be if it didn’t have a worthless fanbase filled with such total fucking pricks,” said Sirianni, who added that Eagles fans were loud, rude, and obnoxious assholes before he went on to announce, “This is for you,” and flipped the double birds.”

Thanks! I’m glad it’s back in February, where it belongs.

ballsofsteelandfury

Reportedly, the Steelers have interest in Deebo. There’s also rumored interest in Cooper Kupp.

The first step, however, is to sign a QB, most likely Fields, and solidify what approach the offense will take. That can only happen once free agency starts.

It will be a domino effect but Fields is the first domino. After him, it will be WR and RB. The rest of the team’s needs will probably be through the draft.

BeefReeferLives

Yup. I’d like them to retain Fields as the #1, & give Art Smith the offseason to design an offense around Fields’s strengths.

If it works out, great. If it flames out, next year is supposed to be a decent draft for QBs…

Redshirt

Damn it, Steelers! Why do you keep your “Down Years” to only two .500 seasons?

Gumbygirl

I’d be fine with either of them, and Fields definitely deserves a real shot.
