Below follows Part 2 of our Roundtable, which doubles as evening Open Thread. Three commenters represent Murrika, and 3 for Canadia. No moose were injured in the compiling of this “thought.”
New Question: who will be the late round/low auction price quarterback who makes you kick yourself for passing up?
Joe Burrow. He may have had the deads last year but I think he bounces back nicely. Otherwise… uh… somehow, fuckin… Jameis???
(Ugh)
I maintain that Sean Payton’s Beach Brain will insist on splitting thing evenly between Jameis and Taysom.
The epitome of fantasy spoiler
Is anyone going to be the fucker who gambles on Prison Girlfriend? I mean, garbage time counts just fine (see Burrow, Joe) but I just don’t see Urban Meyer translating well to the NFL at all.
I feel like he might have three hot weeks (Houston, Denver and Arizona) and be valuable trade bait
The 500s might be the team I target for streaming. As in I want whatever skill players (especially RB) and almost any D/ST that are playing those fuckwits.
I think that’s still Adams or bust in that offense.
I swear to Jeebus I just found out that Zach Ertz was a white guy. All the clues have been there for years and years but I ain’t no Agatha Christie.
Giants coach/GM are saying they’re happy with the O-faceline but depth is a joke-if they are right that’s fine-they’ve proved everyone wrong including me. HOWEVER-if there is an injury? Depth at the position is a joke. SPOILER! There will be an injury.
I’ll put it out there-I think D. Henry is an outlier and can handle another 300+ carries with no worries.
Thoughts on Cal Ridley. I’ll try to own him everywhere. Every year his stats improve and now Julio is gone. The only knock out there is if he can cope with a #1 cb. Thing is, he’s already done that multiple times because Jones has been injured so much. And he’s done fine.
I’ve owned him in multiple leagues ever since he was a rook. To me he comes off as a technician with superplus talent. Ain’t no defending that.
when Father Time calls for el Tractorcito – it will be sudden and brutal. But until that day comes, he’s valuable as fuck. Because folk will always worry.
which is probably why I never value into him. I keep thinking “can he really survive on Matty Ice garbage time week after week?” Even though he obviously has/does.
Matt Ryan is the quarterback every coach between 1950 and 1993 masturbated to: mostly steady with flashes of incredible production. Never brilliant. Never innovative. But almost always trustworthy
oh yeah, Dan Reeves would have traded Our Equine Lord and SavioUr and like, three 1sts for him.
As for Derrick Henry: I will give everyone on this roundtable 10 bucks if he plays 15 or more games
He’s huge and he’s reckless and human connective tissue just isn’t made to support Rob Liefeld Character muscles
@The Maestro I resent your implication. I am an officer of the court and an ordained Pastafarian holy man
I stand by my word
You see that phenomenon play out with Saquon. But Tractorcito is the Wikipedia entry for “outlier.”
It also seems like Saquon is having those “maybe I should stop while I am still able to walk” thoughts in his head
Saquon will break again this season. Book it. Next roundtable question. Is Josh Jaxobs now fucked because of the Drake? Hate the Drake.
Rev I really don’t like the vibes you are sending out west here. 1st the Watson thing (which will happen) now this…… I am fucked both cuz the Iggles are going to suck and that my FF year will be trash.
Saquon seems a little…large for a molestation candidate. So less mental trauma than the standard Nittany Lion.
Then hopefully he gets cut. Not that I’m a vested Diggs owner or anything
- Herbert will have three good games and then be lost for the season. Not from a football injury- he will ask the team doctor for some acne medication and will end up looking like Nikki Lauda
(edited)
2. WFT. Beasley’s louder, but Washington’s vax rate is godawful. If having a well-regarded coach that the virus might kill didn’t motivate them, nothing will.
Last I saw he was keeping mum. Which is not reassuring, although there are a not-inconsiderable number of folks getting them and not telling anyone
Apparently he’s not wearing the wristband and mask around the facility, according to Bills Twitter.
Updating the Kamara/Saints issue, per Rotowire – • Taysom Hill started camp with the first-team offense, while Jameis Winston took second-team reps. Nevertheless, coach Sean Payton said afterward that both will rotate with the first team as they compete for the starting gig. The choice has ramifications for the whole Saints offense. Winston is the better downfield passer and looked sharp with his deep balls on the first day of practice, while Hill didn’t attempt a pass of more than eight yards. Granted, it’s only one day of camp, but it illustrates how the Saints’ offensive weapons are likely to be affected utilized once the regular season gets underway.
Herbert will get hurt.
As for the 1st team to get hit with a Rona loss imma go with Quardinals, seems fitting down there with the Republicans and olds. Fun fact, STI’s are higher with the olds than at ASU.

I think CEH will continue to frustrate and Chubb rock with outplay KHUNT and take over. Miles Sanders will get an ouchie again and Kerryon will lead the Iggles to a sparkling 5-13 record.
Behind D Watson
I remember reading that uber-right fever swamp Florida retirement community “The Villages” is a scorching VD hotspot.
Also, what are everyone’s team names this season? Currently I’m “Sherman did nothing wrong” referencing William Tecumseh Sherman
Thanks to Richard Sherman, I may have to change
Just bac from Las Vegas, took the kid for her 21st.
Two things, Vegas is worse and I am old.
Did you go downtown? The strip is kinda boring anymore.
Yes, and it was frightening, i.e. interesting.
Lots of skunks in the area apparently.
Third thing: you probably have COVID.
Women’s three-metre diving finals are on. It’s all good until the 15 year old Malaysian comes onto the screen.
They aren’t showing enough of the Russian diver. I need more of her!
“Shut the fuck up”
Have to join Zymm in the going out for food idea this evening. WineWife’s favourite sushi place reopened, so we ate ourselves full.
Also – Sapporo on tap for Beerguy, so that was a bonus.
Went to a place in LA last time I was there with one of those chilled tabletop taps of Sapporo. Good times.
Evening
Men’s Beach Volleyball is live now – the U.S. vs. Qatar.
I suspect those gentlemen are not ethnically Qatari, but I suppose I could be wrong.
That US flag fencing mask is creepy as fuck
Yeah something of that nature would make for a good horror movie bit. Like Jason’s hockey mask or Michael Myers’ halloween mask.
Zymm, my niece just got her dorm assignment at UMD. She will be in Cumberland Hall, looks like an older building.
There’s more than a little slipknot thing going.
Aw man, I am stuffed. Tonkatsu broth is delicious
Well, it took a World Record, but I was finally interested in a swimming match.
Okay, I’m okay with Table Tennis being an Olympic Sport, but Trampoline?! Did Cornhole not make the cut?
There’ll be Bong Assembly by 2024
We need to form a team!

Boy if I had a nickel for every time someone pulled a shotgun on me for something I said…
How often do you cross over into Kentucky?
Went to the Bengals Open Practice this afternoon. Burrow looked okay, well, Training Camp Okay. His passes looked the same when he had two good knees. Fans still optimistic, but Mike Brown’s minions are already in mid season form. It took 30 minutes for them to let in about a 10,000 to 20,000 people. Eventually, they gave up and just let us in since the tickets were free and 65,000 people weren’t showing up to watch 90 people practice, while COVID-19’s Entrance Music was blaring.
The Bengals’ stadium itself looked pretty good. It doesn’t have the open feel as Reds’ ballpark, but its not that bad really. Hopefully with the Ring of Honor, they’ll try to improve it, assuming they don’t pull a Baltimore Colts and leave for San Diego in the cover of night in about five years. With the exception of my first seat. I was sitting in the corner, and the P.A. sounded like I was hearing the same thing five times a second apart. I felt like Peter Parker or Clark Kent when their Spider-Hearing/Super-Hearing started to kick in for the first time.
Decided to go with ramen restaurant for dinner
As far as I’m able to determine, none of the women competing in the shot put have pierced nipples.
Gonna need you to rewind the tape and check for labia piercings next. Should be just as apparent with the skin tight clothing.
For science.
I didn’t check the morning post, but under the category of “Fucked”, I give you Evander Kane.

Allegedly throwing games to pay off debts? His soon-to-be ex-wife is PISSED!
Getting ready to make soondubu from last week’s Sunday Gravy.
I’m going with uncooked, shell-on shrimp (to be cooked in the broth for maximum flavoUr), some oyster mushrooms, firm tofu, and yes, MOAR garlic and gochugang than yeah right or the Surgeon General advise.
Ooooh, I want some! I’m making pasta with melted anchovies, olive oil, red pepper flakes, and parsley. It’s kind of like bagna cauda, but we call it stinky pasta because we’re classy like dat.
Both of those sound delicious! I am going to go out for dinner, but haven’t decided where or even what cuisine
Have you gone to the Tiki Bar yet, or is that for later?
I was thinking for after dinner, although I may save it for another weekend, not sure I am in the mood for rum drinks today
That sounds good, too!
And a metric butt-ton of sliced garlic.
I’m trying real hard to be to be the shephard right now.
Not saying this to be macho, but it just wasn’t that hot. I’m thinking I got some defective gochugang! Going to put some jalapeno slices in this second bowl.
If it makes all y’all
jellyheartbroken Bastard Man Small Bears supporters happy…the #BFIB are still just bloody awful.Wondering whether climate change is really, really real? Canada just beat the US in beach volleyball.
You’re doing pretty well at the Summer Olympics for a natioUn that don’t observe the season. Maybe Zimbabwe will kick some ass next Winter Olympiad?
The womens are doing great. The mens? Not very much so.
That was a total collapse by the Yanks in that third set. Oh well, go America’s Hat!
I’m still fuming over that changed call that would have made it 12-12. This is the first time I’ve cared about an Olympic event for more than ten minutes after it finished.
Yes, that seemed like a clusterfuck but, they blew a 5 or 6 point lead before that.
They sure did!
The flag for Cote de Ivoire is really similar to the Irish flag
The NYT had a really interesting article about the differences in running style between sprinters and distance runners. I am noticing it now watching the 100 m semis!
Rewatching Breaking Bad and who do I see? Scotchy’s favorite Swedish detective
The goofy one on the left. And I guess he’s English. Though aren’t the English just Swedes at heart?
The English desperately want to be Swedes but they can never be and they let that frustration out on the rest of the world.
Watching it now. This show is great!
Looks like WTF and the Clots are the two teams still under 70% vax rate. The WTF team culture has always been a total toxic garbage fire, I am still amazed Rivera agreed to work there.
Hartford Athletic up 1 nil! Go fightin Horatios!.
Does the Ghana skateboarder ad only play on the NBC Sports App stream or do the rest of you see it?
It’s fascinating. I may do a 25 Questions on it.
I would read the fuck outta that!
It’s Ghana be a hit.
With Mr. Bangers? Not sure. I’m fascinated with it too, though.
They have it on the network coverage as well
Dong Dong just became the most decorated Trampolinist in Olympic history.
No more yanky my wanky, the Donger is tired!
[opens the door for other Trampolinists to break Dong Dong’s record]

Pretend Man City has a Moussa Moussa! Our first-XI attacking right mid.
I knew a guy named John John Macdonald from Newfoundland. He is currently incarcerated for stabbing a man in the thigh with a broken hockey stick. It was wild.
wait, you can GO TO JAIL for that? Thanks, White Maple Obama!!!1111
We were playing the game after them and we heard a commotion. We ran out to see what was happening and that is when the stabbing occurred. Our game was delayed due to the RCMP getting involved, the ambulance and blood on the ice. I will never forget that sight.
My dad had a Scottish friend named Alistair McAlistair. He used to come to our house and get shitfaced with my dad, and then he annoyed all the neighbors with his terrible bagpipe playing. He was kind of awesome!
My BIL’s best man name is John St. John. Real creative…lol
What are the good Olympics thingamabobs tonight?
US vs. Canada in sexy beach volleyball RIGHT NOW.
Since this virus nonsense is never going away, this will never not be funny.
somebody fucked THAT THING five (???!!!!) times
Doesn’t say if father of the year here (no longer eligible) maybe had twins somewhere?
None of them wore sunscreen at the beach, because apparently UV rays are also a liberal hoax.
The highlight of my Saturday was cleaning bird portions (with ants!) off the front walk.
The highlight of my Sunday will be going through all the work documents I was too wiped out to review on Friday.
Send. Pillz.
I got to pull a trash bag out of the can that had a leak. Nasty, toxic sludge all over the kitchen floor. I have mopped it three times and I can still smell it. Hey mister, throw me some pillz!
yeah, them is the worst. Even with the scented/odor and tear resistant garbage bags…ticking time bombs of filth.
We somehow have fruit flies in our sink. I am at the brink of madness.
Google the apple cider vinegar/drop of dish soap trick. It seems silly, but worse. Most enjoyable deaths EVAR.
This is why I always carry the interior cans out to the bins before pulling the bags out.
That’s a smart man!
