Before I begin – a big shoutout to Horatio for helping work up ESPN blowhard Darren Rovell on the Twitter.

That’s good enmity.

NFL News:

  • Jon Gruden has opinions about the injustice of Vontaze Burfict’s season-ending suspension:
    • “I’m not happy about it — at all. I don’t want to say anything else, I’m obviously upset about it.”
    • This latest suspension (his fourth) is Burfict’s 15th bout of league discipline in his eight years in the league.
      • According to ESPN, Burfict has led the NFL with 23 personal fouls and 15 flags for unnecessary roughness since entering the league in 2012.
  • Feeling somewhat superior about his own team’s headshot is Bill Belichick, who probably thinks the league should buy Jonathan Jones flowers for not killing Josh Allen. 
    • “Allen’s a big runner, he’s a strong guy, he’s hard to tackle. He certainly broke several tackles against us. Jon turned when he hit him, he didn’t lead with his head, he didn’t have that posture.”
    • A counter-argument is provided by the Bills’ Micah Hyde:
      • “If one of us had did that to [Brady], we wouldn’t have been in the game anymore.” Hyde said.
  • Mike Florio has observed that Todd Gurley is upset about his current role on the Rams.
    • In a statement that will surely improve media relations with the Rams, Florio says:

Clearly, he’s not the player he recently was. Whether it’s a knee that has an “arthritic component” or a conscious decision to de-emphasize his involvement in order to save him for later in the year, Gurley doesn’t like what’s going on.

Here’s something I got wormholed to find. I actually bought these guys album back 50 years ago. Haven’t checked what it’s worth on eBay. Probably 3 or 4 bucks anyway.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yesyhQkYrQM

But this was my favorite song from that album. Kind of pre-configured Oingo Boingo’s Only a Lad.

So, Tom Petty played an old song (I love listening to his show on the previously mentioned app, it makes me feel like the fucker is still alive) by the Guess Who, a band that figured prominently in my youthful music fandom. Randy Bachmann could play awesome riff, and Burton Cummings (I know, right?) has such a phenomenal voice. I had all their singles on 45 as a pre-teen/early adolescent. Best Of The Guess Who is just a great album. So, now I’m on a youtube Guess Who channel and time travelling back to the early 70s and thinking about the time Mary Hood gave me my first handjob behind the shrubbery at one of the temporary trailers that served as classrooms at the Karamursel Common Defense Installation DoD School, next to the Teen Club (3 ping-pong tables, 3 bumper pool tables, 2 foosball tables, 1 full size pool table, a snack bar, and a convenient getaway spot out by the school trailers for making out with similarly hormone-charged teen girls, like the crazed adolescent that I was).

So, was I triggered by the Guess Who song? Guess so.

The Guess Who have the courage to be drunken buffoons, and that makes them poetic!

Well, if the A’s pull a comeback on the Rays, I ain’t gonna see it; transferring my phone over to Tom Petty Buried Treasure on the Sirius XM app for accompaniment whilst I hang here and read up on The Reckoning by Halberstam. Those sneaky Japanese shits!

Don’t know if it has been mentioned yet but the Diego Maradona documentary on HBO might be the greatest sport bio doc ever. Diego Maradona can best be describe if you put both Michael Jordan’s and Dennis Rodman’s life and career in a 5’5 Argentine man.

As TX resident, heartily concur with your final sentiment there.

I figure she should have got at least 50, because that’s probably about how many years of his life she stole from him. I don’t use this word often except when I’m chatting with Brits, but fuck that cunt.

What I’ve seen of AEW’s TNT show has been good so far with the extreme exception being Skinny Kevin Smith and Old Jason Mewes. Kevin Smith was never meant to be under 250.

Trump’s behavior these last couple days reminds me of when Science Officer Ash flipped out in that one scene in the original Alien. (about 1:45 in, couldn’t find a shorter version)

I grew up reading the Birds of Prey comics and I’m a huge fan of Cassandra Cain. So of course, I’ve seen the trailer of “Birds of Prey”, and while I still have my reservations, I’m trying to keep an open mind.

Me: “I understand why everyone is chanting “Black Lives Matter”, but how do they know if she’s racist?”

“how do they know if she’s racist?”

I know you live in Ohio, and may not be familiar with Texas at all, so here’s a truism you can take to the bank:

All white Texas cops are racists. In fact even most of the black and brown cops are racists.
