    • Lamar Jackson – drafted by the Ravens.
  • Aaron Rodgers:
    • He showed up to the Derby with a Turd Ferguson name tag.
    • Matt LaFleur “can’t fathom” Rodgers leaving Green Bay.
      • Yes, and Jenn Sterger’s phone has heard that stpry before.
    • Mike Florio has a working theory that it’s the Packers’ ownership structure that is exacerbating the problem.
      • Because there isn’t one person who can step in to mediate, but a collective board, who represents the “shareholders”.
        • You know, the typical northern Wisconsin working man, who has a deep understanding of a man’s fight to maximize his earning potential.

My wife has expressed interest in divorce and remarrying a billionaire. She said I could live in the guest house on the estate and not have to work anymore. My son smirked at this idea. Little does he realize he will have to use Bing on Edge or be sent to boarding school.

Cut off one of the kids and you could slap that sticker on Melania Trump’s car next year.

Danny Trejo is on Bear Gryll’s show. He’s 76. Legend.

Dirt Chargers, uh I mean, Pro Dirt Aztecs are being no-hit through 6.

By the Dirt Steelers, who are playing for 2026.

I wonder what Angle Grinder Man has been up to?

Mr. Ayo

Probably somewhere around 45˚ to 60˚

Fact: The Carters have shrunk 73% since they left the White House.

Fact: The Carters will be taking a certain piece of jewelry to Mount Doom.

Fact: The Carters have dual citizenship in the USA and Lilliput.

This week in Sometimes other languages have totally normal names or words that have funny unrelated meanings in English – the Cree city of Peepeekisis

Mr. Ayo

That was quite the collapse by the Ice Raiders.

Doktor Zymm

Quick visit to Chicago this weekend, it was almost kinda normal. I went to a proper bar for the first time in forever (and got stupid drunk since I’ve barely been drinking liquor and Sunday afternoon at Chicago taverns pretty much always includes unexpected shots and heavy pours), got my windows measured by a contractor, had overpriced guacamole and shrimp tacos for brunch, and it was like 80 and sunny out, so there were people everywhere. It was like masks were just the in new fashion thing and bars and restaurants just decided that space was a worthwhile luxury, but otherwise it was the before times. Surreal.

King Hippo

I am thinking of getting a jacket for the Fall, with “I am fully vaccinated, stop fucking scowling at me” across the back.

Doktor Zymm

I was having serious thoughts about a “fully vaxxed” t-shirt, but there’s no reason for strangers to trust anything written on clothing, especially once you see the sorts of people wearing t-shirts averring that they are sexy. I did have a seat-mate on an Alaska flight last week show me his vax card, which was nice.

King Hippo

Good point on the “sexy” shirt factoUr

litre_cola

Crop top it because then you give off the safe, sexy and dangerous vibes.

King Hippo

My summer gut acne DO make the panties drop chuh chuh

Doktor Zymm

You don’t see enough crop tops on men these days. Nor enough short-shorts. Even athletes are loathe to show a little knee.

My jaw is still sore from this wisdom tooth extraction last Tuesday. I’m down about 8 lbs, way short on sleep, and ready to nimbly maneuver around my surroundings to kill myself.

I’m zooming in to a neighborhood council grievance meeting (my ex-girlfriend filed the grievance and asked me to show up). It makes it easy to remember why committee stuff is so unbearable and why I will continue to run my own HOA as a personal fiefdom until I am deposed. I’m hoping HBO (who wants to do some filming here) sends a kickback my way to make this process easier for everyone.

King Hippo

You really do have quite the interesting life. Perhaps in first, now that Gooner Tank Boi done abandoned us.

I’m in another pissing match with my landlord, fuck that guy

Honestly, it didn’t occur to me until you posted this that he’s Iranian.

Doktor Zymm

I’m reminded of an AITA post where a guy got himself elected prez of his HOA just to dismantle it. He is a modern day hero.

blaxabbath

It wasn’t until I become an owner until I realized how toxic the group management structure is. It’s really an all or nothing affair — pretty impressive they’ve done so well til this point.

King Hippo

Funny, but everyday is I don’t have to run day, as a goddamned Hippo.

This would not have been better with leg slaps.

The ice Giants are gonna miss the playoffs but damnit they’re an entertaining team, and will be scary good in a year or two

Senor Weaselo

Also Tom Wilson can fuck off for all eternity.

Mr. Ayo

Whoa, he was fully back on his bullshit this evening.

2nd to the send him to the fucked off realm.

Isn’t the Packers ownership the american version of 50+1 ownership lesser footy fans prefer?

ballsofsteelandfury

Not really. The Germans are smart and knowledgeable about the business side of sport. The Americans are fat dumbasses happy to put a worthless piece of paper on their wall.

The more I read about that the more I want it here.

You want fat dumbasses who put worthless shit on their wall?

“I was kissing Valentino by a crystal blue Italian stream.” I don’t know why, but that line paints such a quaint picture in my head.

Prince could write a song.

A whole damn vault full, which is going to be what makes me broke this next decade as songs are released.

I know Muslim athletes have long struggled balancing observing Ramadan and playing for their pro clubs, but I never saw an athlete sprint to the sidelines of a match he was currently playing in to get a quick power bar and Gatorade gel at sunset, like Benrahma did today in the West Ham match. Religion is fascinating.

Especially since for an extra 1% tithe, like any religion, they can get a rules exception.

What’s that do to adjust the number of virgins received in paradise?
