Can the NFLPA be more pathetic? They lost their case regarding the report cards of the teams their members belong to. The reason cited by the arbitrator was that they didn’t apply rigorous methadology and “cherry-picked” various comments here and there. There were a number of positive comments as well though. The response wasn’t “we’ll change our process and make it far more rigorous”. Nope. It was, We’ll keep doing the same thing but only share it with our members.” You’re looking at a captured union, folks. I don’t know what else to say.
Flotsam & Jetsam:
-The Fins released Tyreek as expected. I think the league’s finest locker room cancer has one more incredible year in him and then it’s a slow descent into shitty teams with shitty management looking to rescue a shitty season.
/I’ve got some things to say about Brian Flores’ case going forward in the regular court system but I’m smack dab in the middle of a chickpea stew with chicken broth/Swiss chard/spinach/pureed cannelinniii beans (spelled wrong intentionally) leeks and a small amount of carrots.
/not gonna lie-despite Horatio hating Don T and his writing, the guy’s mock draft offerings are top rate.
Get after it, slippery monkeys.
Den of Thieves, I repeat, Den of Thieves was a better Dumb Heat movie.

I like Don_T but not his writing.

Here’s a Paris thing for you to try, from the Pierre Herme patisserie
Lunch today: Arroz con Pollo at Versailles on Venice
There’s like half a roasted chicken under that rice. Black bean soup (which is now mysteriously not on the menu but they still have it readily available so WTF) is not shown but was consumed in an efficient manner that left no doubt who was in charge.
Yeah Right wants to know what you cook at home.
BFC, I was wearing Big Blue today.
Storm Of The Century in LA. It got as low as 60!
Quelle horror!
It’s at 0c here and foggy.
Wednesday were to get 6″ of snow and another inch of freezing rain. Fun
Yesterday we went to an Italian deli/restaurant in Burbank and a chatty guy in front of us was giving us very enthusiastic recommendations for everything they served and when we got to the end of line the cashier handed us a plate of three cannolis that the guy bought for us. Super nice thing to do. I wish all people were that nice and would just randomly buy me things, the world would be a better place.

Me: “Try this, let me know what you think.”
Girlie: “Woof! So much ginger!”
Me: “Huh, ok.”
Girlie: “But I Really Like Ginger!”
Me: “But it was too much?”
Girlie: “Uh..umm. yes. BUT I REALLY LIKE THE SOUP.”
Me: “I’m just looking for your honest opinion, that’s it. If you don’t like it at all just tell me. Everyone has their preferences, it’s fine.”*

Mrs. Fozz made fish for dinner.
While I was expecting a prison riot – WE EAT MEAT CAUSE WE’RE MEN DAMMIT – it was more of a shrug of the shoulders, a bite, and then, “Is there anything else to eat?”
Luckily she made angel hair pasta and spinach sauteed in olive oil and garlic.
Mmm angel hair pasta and spinach sauteed in olive oil and garlic. That would be delicious with…fish!
She used too much salt. I didn’t comment. Will drink a gallon of water tonight. Keeping the peace.
Potato will remove some of that pesky salt.

Incidentally, S: Dennard Wilson is a helluva coach. Otherwise, fuck the Jints.
The NFLPA could have immense discipline and competence and they’re still kind of fucked because Americans would rather watch “amateurs” paid in Jerrah Bucks and exposure than see organized labor get anything approaching a fair deal.
He just left Miami. That leaves the Jets and the Browns.
If they could be even half as good as other pro-sports unions that would be huge progress
They can’t be any good given their members only have an average career of 3.5 years. It’s all short-term thinking.

I’d love the NFL with an NIL type setup.
I just had a great arrival experience at ORD. Once we got to the gate I walked directly to baggage claim where my bag arrived about 3 seconds after I did, then I walked to the Lyft pickup getting there about 30 seconds before my ride. Less than a minute of waiting time between the aircraft door opening and being on my way. I know no one cares, but I feel soooo efficient right now

I wouldn’t read too much into the most recent Washington Post survey.
I wasn’t planning on reading it at all, much less into it
We had a draft earlier of mundane super powers and I think someone took something very like this, and with good reason.
Dang. I got hit for two hours at rental car.
Guess I’ll just buy a Lamborghini on Hawaii!
I have jury duty tomorrow, so I’m fully prepared to bring justice to the world.
Just tell them you’re prejudiced against all races.
I WANT to serve on a jury, not to get an appointment in the Trump Administration.

YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH
3x I’ve been released after getting into it on the point of, “Well I’m the juror. I’ll take the judge’s words and the rule of law into consideration — but I’m the actual juror right? Because everyone I know who took the LSAT manages to escape this obligation so, just to confirm here, I’m the one being asked to render a verdict — not everyone making hundreds of dollars an hour on this charade.”
So I get dismissed. Let’s admit it though– lawyers like me.
I am enjoying the feud between myself and Don, and I look forward to discussing it further with him the next time I go to Puerto Rico and he takes us to some ramshackle little road side restaurant that somehow has the best roast pork on the island.
You’ll still need to go to Burger King to access the interwebz, though.
I have to say, we had excellent internet access while in Old San Juan.
Although maybe I just thought that because of all the rum.

I’ll call El Cunao whatever it wants to be called so long as I get seconds (thirds) on that pork.

I think we got 3 lbs. I still think about that meal.
Or we fan go to Angelito’s. Warning: no vrlvet ropes there either 😝
I’m in.
When are you going? DFOcon Boricuan edition?
That would be awesome.
God willing and the creek don’t rise (and by that I mean NO HURRICANES, GOD!!!), maybe in the fall.
