Your “Barely Making An Effort” Wednesday Evening Open Thread

NFL Nuggets:

  • The Jags are trying out Terrelle Pryor.
    • As a Wide Receiver. They have enough terrible backup QBs.
    • He played for both the Jets & Bills in 2018.
  • Todd Gurley is working out but not doing drills at Rams OTAs.
    • They are trying to reduce the workload on his arthritic knees, so they can stay fresh longer during the season.
      • Including (likely) keeping him out of all their pre-season games.
  • The security guard Ezekiel Elliott shoved in Las Vegas is reconsidering the option of pressing charges.
    • He wants “a sincere apology” from Zeke, not the perfunctory one he received where “he didn’t maintain eye contact. It didn’t seem sincere at all.”
    • If he chooses to press charges, get ready for another round of Roger Goodell vs. The Cowboys.

Tonight’s sports:

  • NHL:  
    • Game 2 – St. Louis at Boston – 8:00PM | NBC / CBC
  • MLB:
    • Jays at Rays – 7:00PM | Sportsnet1
    • Cubs at Astros – 8:00PM | ESPN / TSN2
  • MLS:
    • Montreal vs. Real Salt Lake – 7:30PM | TSN5

Other TV:

  • Archer:1999 – Premiere – 10:00PM | FXX / Adult Swim

It’s not much, but it beats the alternative of “nothing” once the hockey is over.

yeah right

That was an absolutely gut wrenching night in Houston. I’m in tears and I hope that young fan is OK.
GODDAMNIT Why can’t we extend the nets to the fair pole like they do in the Japanese league.
Fuck the season ticket holders.

What really hits home is I take my kids and grandkids to see baseball.
That was fucking awful and now I’m crying again.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

I mean the Japanese league also has seventh inning hentai so I’m all for it

Fronkenshteen

Amazing. The Mets should trade Familia an hour ago.

Fronkenshteen

Wow. That’s some metsy metsyness. Even for the Mets.

I’m not saying the Mets are wearing a lot of gold chains during tonight’s game in LA, but Deebo just pulled up in front of their dugout on Red’s bike.

To be fair about 4 miles west everyone wears pearl necklaces

Did anyone else catch “The Terror” on AMC last fall? What an outstanding show and cast.

I’m a History guy, and the search for the Northwest Passage has always been an interesting topic for me. Watching Caesar and Brutus work together again was pretty cool.

Most historians hate this series, but, I enjoyed it.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

So apparently Barstool sponsored the towels for the game tonight. In keeping with the theme Game 5 will have a Bristol Stool scale of 5.

That’s a soft dump but still holding its structure just so you know.

ALXMAC

Is that the dump that comes out like a soft serve machine?

Always had a soft spot for Ok Go. They were overwhelmingly commercial, especially on that second album, but they made the damn effort.

Don T

I love that album. The rest, it’s fine for me.

Mr. Ayo

So that’s a nope. lol

As they say in Hockey “Let’s do that hockey”
I miss the Knicks.

“Let’s Do Dat Hockey” has been my Xbox NHL club name many times since this aired.

All of them.

Noticed Barr is already booked on NBC Friday night. How will he try to spin mueller’s statement? He’s a dope & so is trump, so which attorney will be preparing his beliefs?

WCS

It took 14 tries, but, Street Louis has won a Stanley Cup Final game.

herodotus450

Well great, i took all these qualudes to get amped up for overtime and it’s over already. Now what am I supposed to do.

Mr. Ayo

Refer to Unsurpised’s tax post below

Don T

Ride the smooth vibes by watching “The Wall”.

Dunstan

What do we say to evil Bruins? Not tonight.

Mr. Ayo

Ice #BFIB have been totally redeemed!

Unsurprised

This has been making the rounds on Reddit since it applies to basically every city. Even Portland is seriously considering paying for a stupid fucking baseball stadium.

According to the most cursory of internet searches, building a subway system in AMerica costs about $100 Million per mile.

NEEDS MOAR SWEET DEE

Unsurprised

On the plus side, it turns out I made an error on my taxes in my favor. So I’ve got that going for me, although I doubt I’ll ever see any of that money and if I do I’ll waste it on something stupid.

Sharkbait

Booze? Hookers? Blow?

Mr. Ayo

Seriously. Kick start your weight loss with a brick of blow and a courtesan on contingency.

Unsurprised

I’m not getting that much. But I should seriously consider the courtesan

Fronkenshteen

Why not buy some coke for a courtesan? That’s what jeezis would do.

Don T

Amén.

Unsurprised

I never saw Brockmire season 2. But I have so much other TV to watch and don’t want to watch any of it.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

It is like sleeping with hippies.

Sharkbait

I dislike 8pm starts, unless the Ice Giants are involved.

Perdido Street Station Update:

The writing is still dense as fuck/kinda interesting. I know there will be a shitty ending-I can just feel it. I’ll soldier on. Did I mention it’s weird as hell?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Is it the weekend yet?

Mr. Ayo

Yep. Start drinking!

Unsurprised

Airplane is a still so funny.

The ECHL hockey finals are also going on right now and is a much more palatable Newfoundland vs. Toledo matchup.

herodotus450

Canadian announcers DO NOT like that Newfie is down 3-1, nor the baffling U-S-A chant from the Toledo crowd.

Unsurprised

What does anyone from Toledo have to be proud of?

LemonJello

They’re not in Cleveland?

scotchnaut

“The Verdict” is on AMC right now. This movie hangs my heart out to dry every time I take it in. Such a hard watch for me.

Brick Meathook

Paul Newman vs James Mason in a court of law? James Mason wins that case every single time.

Rumour has it that Pasternak of the Bruins is going to be traded to the Zhivago Black Hawks in the off season.

George Lucas just can’t leave well enough alone, can he?

herodotus450

If St. Louis continues sucking like this I’m going to start a group to buy the team and move them to LA

WCS

Don’t trigger Interwebs Dad.

Mr. Ayo

That’s better.

Mr. Ayo

Nevermind. Time to move them.

WCS

Also time to give the city of BAWSTAHN back to England.

herodotus450

300 years old is basically New to England, they’ll buy it.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Ezekiel Elliott is not good at blow jobs; it has to be money.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

I really hope this season is good, but I’ve had such low expectations since that first season in LA.

The episode where the married couple each hired half of them to seduce the other holds up with the classics though.

blaxabbath

Is that a legal hit in hockey?

herodotus450

Apparently yes.
