Possibly because they don’t want their news to get lost in all the March Madness madness, events started unfolding quite quickly on the proposed trade front this weekend. Since 5:00ET Friday, in no particular order:
- the Browns acquired Jarvis Landry from the Dolphins, for picks
- the Bills traded Tyrod Taylor to the Browns, for picks
- the Browns traded DeShone Kizer to the Packers, for Damarious Randall
- the Browns traded DT Danny Shelton to the Patriots for a conditional pick
Which adds up to these hagiographic, yet laughable, ‘reimaginings’ of Sashi Brown’s time running the Browns, the Jets suddenly having the most cap space available ($92 million), this sober reminder of failures past,
For all the credit and praise going to Sashi Brown for salary cap space, draft picks #Browns GM John Dorsey is using, it must be remembered team wouldn't need to trade for QB, WR and CB if previous regime had done better job identifying and acquiring talent.
— Scott Petrak ct (@ScottPetrak) March 10, 2018
and this nugget:
When the Tyrod Taylor trade is official, the #Bills will hold five of the 2018 draft's first 65 picks.
Rd. 1, No. 21
Rd. 1, No. 22 (via #Chiefs)
Rd. 2, No. 53
Rd. 2, No. 56 (via #Rams)
Rd. 3, No. 65 (via #Browns)— NFL Draft (@NFLDraft) March 9, 2018
And the Browns still have most of their upper-round picks. Dare I say, strategic?
Oh, and Sean McDonough has decided to quit the Monday Night booth & go back to college games. He’s being replaced by someone named Joe Tessitore.

As Seamus said on Friday, it’s a Whole Lotta Hippo for the next week.
HOPE YOU CAN HANDLE IT!
Protip: Daylight Savings in the fall is a godsend. Daylight Savings in the (late) winter can eat a sandbox of cat crap.
So my daylight savings hobby is watching the clock turn, and normally I go for the one on the cable box but today I went for the little analog-looking clockface on the iPhone clock app. Yes, the hour hand jumped from 2 to 3.
My hot taek that’ll never happen: The NFL draft should happen no later than 2 weeks after the combine.
Did you just create a combine time loop?
Lordy, that was a herp a derp
I still think the Browns should go defense for pick 1 and 4, but, if they go draft the back and then defense, that wouldn’t be so bad, either. Which means they’ll draft the back and a QB who will turn into Ryan Couch
I cannot wait for season 2 to make its way onto Netflix
Keeping on theme.

San Onofre!
Ok – MAYBE the Pac-12 should have ONE team in the tourney.
But not ASU.
The Conference of Champions should be represented in the big dance.
It’ll be fine, we’ll be A-O-K,
Surf it out Bro.
UA fans booing Larry Scott will never get old.
Reminds me of my latest STD test
God bless you Moose.

GODDAMMIT!!!!!!
This scale is off. #1 is medium rare to medium.
You can’t call it rare if there’s no purple.
Meat graphics are not pedantic.
MEDIUM RARE
Or dipshits who completely miss the fucking joke.
I’M NOT A MEAT GRAPHIC!
Funny, I figure WCS would be the one to like them Pittsburgh rare.
Gotta give props to a group that can rap in 11.
Someone should probably help me.

I suggest thrash metal Saturday.

Now we’re talking.
I blame the endless availability of streaming video for my inability to lose hours browsing through webcomics. I don’t know if that’s good or bad, but I do occasionally miss stumbling on to gems like the first S*P
http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp12192001.shtml
XKCD, explosm, smbc, and existential comics are a timesuck rabbithole for me.
I hope there is one day a proper replacement for XKCD so I can stop using stick figures to explain what I do at work
As a follow-up, I did a full rebuild of my SCCM server 2 weeks ago, which was just tons of fun. The only person IN THE WORLD I found even DISCUSSING the error was on a German version of Technet. Love too run technical discussions through google translate and hope in vane.
Still read xkcd and Questionable Content (meh), behind a little on Sam and Fuzzy but I read it in chunks, VG Cats doesn’t fucking update, and I miss Brawl in the Family. Oh, and I’ve been reading Lil’ Char and the Gang, which is exactly what it sounds like.
I did S*P, VG Cats, 8-Bit Theater, Mac Hall, and some others back in the day. Penny Arcade is the only one that I really kept up with after college. I never did XKCD regularly. It exists solely to give me shit to put up in my office. I did enjoy LFG back in my World of Warcraft days, but it got so far up its own ass. All I wanted was to watch Richard murder things gleefully. Holy shit this video’s 11 years old already.

Buying fresh bread makes me empathize with syphilis: it’s a race to get your job done before the mold shows up.
You could make it at home?
Then it’s the same race afterwards but at least you have hot fresh bread for a day.
Yeah but usually they charge extra to come to your place.
Then again.

LMFAO
Oilers now have both Pontus Aberg and Leon Draisatl on their roster. Are they trying to play hockey or convene an ecumenical council?
Whoa, did anyone else just have their account hiijacked by Dennis Miller? Weird.
“These liberals; reminds me of the relationship of Claudius and Agrippina the Younger.”
Holy shit; false analogy! Maybe mine is hit too.
Security around here is looser than Catherine the Great
On one hand, I feel like it takes a lot to really hold my attention in the era of prestige television. On the other, as long as Ash vs. Evil Dead keeps doing goofy campy shit while Bruce Campbell remains Bruce Campbell, I’ll never turn it off.
Who around here has ice for my knees?
Do you mean “ice” or literal frozen water ice?
Well, we will deport the rest of you with your knees.
I’m your huckleberry.
Need a device to roll out your IT band? Got that too.
Another movie they didn’t have to have a remake.
OMFG…THAT RIGHT THERE IS WHY NCSU SHOULD HAVE LEFT THE ACC WHEN IT HAD THE FUCKING CHANCE.
DUDE JUST FUCKING SAID THE ACC IS THE BEARER OF THE DUKE/U*NC RIVALRY.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT. THAT’S ALL THAT NEEDED TO BE SAID. UVA JUST WON THE CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP, BUT LET’S BRING UP THE DOOK/U*NC BULLSHIT.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT. GOODNIGHT…GODBLESS.
That’s beyond deep-throating to *tries to think logistically* …cannibalism?
I just left John Swofford a very angry voicemail.
Yes, I’m serious.
I can’t wait to see how you respond when NCST gets the death penalty from the FBI probe and U*NC gets nothing.
I’ve been expecting us to get the death penalty for their transgressions for years, no worries.
And I also knew the previous coach was dirty, so the subpoena is nothing surprising.
If we did dirty shit, we should get the hammer.
That doesn’t change the fact the Carolina had a premeditated system to keep its athletes eligible. They set it up, they had it in place, they used it to win championships and make money.
Then they managed to fucking lie about it….AND GET AWAY WITH IT!!!!!!
The NCAA and SACS should all burn in hell.
And that’s what I just told the ACC Commish on his voicemail. In a just world, he’ll burn in hell someday.
And you guys wonder why I want to go to Mars????
NO FUCKING PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOTHING WILL BE FIXED IN THIS LIFE OR DEATH MATTER UNLESS YOU GET ANGRIER!!!
I really just wanna go to Mars.
I’m tired of hating humanity. There’s no humanity there.
Win-win.
I guess for me, my reasons to hate humanity and what it has done and will do…… college athletics organizations are not even on the list.
But I am inspired by your anger.
Agreed. College athletics is just a symptom.
We can all learn a little bit from the MAGA chud who doesn’t get enough Jesus on his coffee cups in December

You dick. Hehehehehe.
The Martians’ response?
Hehehehe
I was going to ask who that guy you mentioned was.
Don’t get me started on that asshole.
So the Mario Kart Google Maps Easter egg isn’t as cool as I thought. There’s no Mario Kart-playing on it.
Arizona unis make everyone look like they got run over by a golf cart.
I had nothing to do with it! Nothing, I tell ya!
Cry you Chapel Hill fuckers, cry.
Did they give you a bad touch?
They gave everyone a bad touch.
And got away with it.
Cheatingest fuckers in college athletics in EVAR. No penalties.
The University* of North Carolina is a blight on society.
It should be corrected. I’d do it myself, but I wouldn’t do well in prison. I’m too pretty.
Never fucking touched him. ACC, this officiating is shameful.
Shameful, I say.
And those cheating fuckers are still gonna lose.

So I checked up top, and you didn’t mention the BIG WEST CHAMPIONSHIP GAME FEATURING MY UC IRVINE ANTEATERS (on ESPN2 at 9:00 PM Pacific Time).
You will pay.
That’s technically a Sunday game. Check back in the morning open thread.
Nope. Eastern Time means nothing. And only what I want matters.
(Sorry, just went conservative for a moment. Won’t happen again.)
Sean Miller kinda smiling about Alkins airballing.
This game doesn’t even matter.
Wow. Officials really gon’ try dey best to get Carolina back in this.
This is pathetic.
Ayn Rand was a cop.
Shitty Clippers strike again.
