Your “All Signs Point To Evil Afoot” Tuesday Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

• The Bears are going to take a run at Kareem Hunt.
  • Matt Nagy knows him from working with Hunt in 2017 when both were still with the Chiefs.
  • Hunt is currently on the Commissioner’s Exempt List, meaning ol’ Rog will have to let him back in before anyone can use him in a game.

• Gary Kubiak signed with the Vikings as their new assistant head coach/offensive adviser.
  • Probably key to the deal: his son Klint (ugh) was also named QB coach.

• The NFL is losing more zebras to retirement.
  • This year, it’s Walt Coleman & Pete Morelli.
    • Raiders & Eagles fans can rejoice.
  • Their last act will be serving as co-referees at the Pro Bowl.

• One ref not retiring is John Parry, who has been tagged to be the lead official at Super Bowl LIII.
  • It’s his third time working The Big Game™^®©
    • He was a side judge at SB XLI & referee at SB XLVI.
  • The whole crew has been selected, and like previous years it’s the “best of the best” at their position.

Finally, the projected weather forecast for Sunday at Arrowhead is…not good.

So it may not matter that the game will be played under a lunar eclipse.
