Your “Waiting For Nice Things Is Wasted Time” Tuesday Evening Open Thread

NFL Nuggets:

  • The expensive news – outside of all the injuries teams suffered – are the COVID fines the league levied against certain teams for “non-compliance” with the league’s health directives. 
    • The Broncos, Niners & Seahawks were all fined $250,000, and their coaches fined $100K.
      • And there are escalators for continued non-compliance, although those have not yet been specified.
      • Right on cue, Florio has opinions on why coach masks should be done away with.
        • Basically, if they are tested every day, why do they need them then?
    • They will likely go after the Raiders & Gruden tomorrow, especially after this response at the post-game press conference to a question about his mask usage during the game:

“I’m doing my best. You know, I’ve had the virus. OK. I’m doing my best,” Gruden said. “I’m very sensitive about it, but I’m calling plays. I just wanna communicate in these situations and I apologize and if I get fined, I will have to pay the fine, but I’m very sensitive about all of that and I apologize. Alright? Thanks guys.”

  • Insert masturbation metaphor here: Prosecutors will drop solicitation charges against Robert Kraft.
    • The state prosecutors lost an appeal last month on the legality of the video evidence collected.
      • Kraft’s lawyers argued that 4th Amendment rights were violated, because all customers & massages were videoed, not just guilty ones or just guilty acts.
        • An “inherent right to privacy” exists when purchasing a legal service; police can’t assume one person’s action might become illegal unless they have specific proof about that individual.
      • The state attorney was worried about “broader, negative implications” on future law enforcement if they appealed further & lost.
        • Basically, they won’t go after rich dudes who can afford to fight their warrants.
    • Instead, they are likely to go after the establishment on financial irregularity charges.
      • And the employees on individual charges.
        • In other words, the lady who gave him the handy will end up convicted, but the guy who got off gets off. 
    • Kraft’s legal team filed a motion to have the tape destroyed, and his attorney said they would pay the state’s costs in legal actions against this move by third parties (i.e. – TMZ)

“Only by ordering the State to destroy the Videos and to comply with interim measures securing them can the Court guard against the palpable risk of further leak or misuse and correspondingly vindicate the constitutional principles and rights that are at stake in this case,” said Kraft’s attorney.

  • Ladies & gentlemen, your new Denver Broncos “backup” QB
    • Blake.
    • Bortles.
Get used to this look, but in orange.

Hold on…

WHAT UNHOLY ABOMINATION IS THIS?!

GAH!

Dear god – that’s a real fucking thing.

Oh sure – Canadian scientists COULD be working on a COVID cure. Naturally, we NEED to make sure everyone is fed during these dire times. BUT NO! the madmen from US conglomerate Kraft Heinz have ordered their Canadian lickspittles division to take a natural comfort food of a large portion of the population and imbue it with Satan’s essence.

From the food hooligans that brought you these three horsemen of the food apocalypse.

I get that it’s a marketing gag on the annual PSL fall flavour rush at most cofferies, but it’s this kind of unnecessary experimentation that will lead to total human extinction. As a great mind once said,

Boy cats have lots of personality, I love them! I told you I had a beautiful tuxedo cat named Wilbur, right?

I wish my peers Moose and La Tabula Rasa would commit to telling stories here from their own lives. Tabulula Rasa does, but Moose just posts endless irrelevant posts.

Let’s post some stories, boys. You too, yeah right (also my age).

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

This is one of the few posts of yours I have looked at for a quite a while because I don’t want to waste time on that bullshit. Most other people post interesting or funny stuff. If I want to hear your personal story crap or post mine I’d belong to Facebook and be all feels with people. I come here for amusement and want to repay people’s hilarity here with amusement. If you don’t like what I post ignore it like I do yours. Everybody else seems fine with that approach and don’t try to tell other people what to do.
