Man, am I gonna look dumb if he makes a decision between now (it is 11:12 Eastern) and when this goes up. But anyway, the NFL world continues to wait on Aaron Rodgers, who’s come out of his darkness retreat
and didn’t specifically say anything about wanting to stay on the Packers or go to the Jets, but is at least giving a list of requests/demands about who he wants the Jets to go get. Such as Allen Lazard (4 years, $44M). Also on that list: Randall Cobb, Marcedes Lewis, and Odell Beckham, Jr..
I look forward to the Jets getting exactly two of the remaining three on the list, but not getting all three, so no deal. Why? Because that seems like the Jetsiest circumstance. Either that or he plays like five games and then says “fuck it” and retires, right after the king’s ransom kicks in. Again, because potential for maximum Jets. Regardless, my money remains on Zach Wilson starting at least 2 games this season, much to the pain and suffering of anyone who roots for the Jets.
UPDATE: Rodgers said on his favorite non-Rogan podcast the Pat McAfee Show that he wants to play for the Jets this coming season and it’s up to the two teams to work out the accommodations. He was at 90% retiring pre-retreat but over the course of that things changed with what he believed was the Packers’ stance.
Okay, what about non-Rodgers news?
–Eagles to release CB Darius “Big Play” Slay.
–TE Hayden Hurst to Carolina.
–ILB Cole Holcomb to Pittsburgh.
–OT Riley Reiff to New England.
–Dallas picks up CB Stephon Gillmore from Colts, re-sign LB Leighton Vander Esch.
–RB David Montgomery to Detroit.
–OLB Arden Key to Tennessee.

That may be everything that matters for now, so go laugh at Rutgers for losing to Hofstra last night!
ASU kicked Nevada’s ass. Not a bad start.
Aww man, almost a goalie fight. Stupid refs, get out of the way.
If ever a referee deserved a stay in a Penalty Box…
Aaron Rodgers is an asshole!

Aaron Rodgers is an okay guy!

Evening. I can’t wait for the Jets to get the Jetsiest Rodgers that ever Rodgered.
Peak Rogers
Not saying it matters but i bet Belichik is qualuding the night away planning for Rodgers 2x on a cursed team next season.
Rodgers is the West Coast Fav-rah, and he’ll be signing with the Vikes this time next year.

Wow, Shoemaker Center is rocking tonight. Nice to know Cincinnati is enjoying what home playoff games it can get…that or UC’s faithful was realistic in their expectations and is happy with an NIT 1st Round home game.
EDIT: Nevermind, Xavier (UC’s crosstown rival) won the NIT last year. That’s why they showed up for this.
Aaand Edwin Diaz apparently hurt himself in the celebration. Ladies and gents, the New York Mets.
/Remembers the entire Yankees bullpen is on the IL⦠fuck.
(PTSD intensifies)
— Bill Gramatica, parts unknown
That was fucking tragic and hilarious.
How Celebrations Ruin Careers is a popular HR seminar in PR. Dutifully skipped #Obvio
Just wrap it in some of those paper towels we gave you.
(I don’t own Diaz so this is ok)
(Also, it sucks)
But not in 2023.
Fightinβ Don Ts move on!
With Edwin Diaz being wheeled off the field with either a torn ACL or Achilles suffered during the celebration. Or, because he’s a Met, probably both.
LIBRE!!!!!
Boooo Texas!!!!
This. This is how I want my obituary and funeral to be. Either be happy I’ve gone to Heaven, be happy I lived or be happy I’m dead.
Daughter celebrates late father with hilariously sarcastic obituary: ‘Redneck SOB’ (msn.com)
How was this not tWBSβs?
No daughter. THAT HE KNEW ABOUT!!!
I’m not sure I want either at 62.
His father, Kenneth Joseph Pluhar, Sr, is still around, though, and was sure to teach Kenne the best ways to be emotionally unavailable and yet overly sensitive, all rolled into one. Itβs a strong family trait passed down generation to generation.

I gets no first four games.
Nobody gets ’em, but they keep playing and televising this tripe every year.
In my heart, I always knew Mike Brown would want to close the Bengals Playoff Window early because he was worried about a draft.
This?

Might watch the ASU game. Need to scout for next year’s AVN Awards….
Just jerk off. You don’t have to justify, explain, or give us “excuses” for what you’re doing.
No, you want to scout out the films first. You donβt need to add to your shame by wanking (or jilling) to a substandard video.
Whatever. Just move past it.
Just watch the highlight reel. A full movie might get you blisters on all the wrong skin.
This seems like a good time to remind the good people of Puerto Rico who signs their checks and provides valuable paper towel supplies in times of need….
It’s too bad theys in different tournaments b/c Oral Bob really should play Morehead State
That’s like 46 different sins to the student population and alumni base of Oral Bob.

Two thoughts:
1. Baseball purists are bores. Fun and rivalry tops everything.
2. Yeah, keep traveling to Lesser Antilles π€£π

I’m curious, why would you use “Viene” here? Does it mean “come on?”
“come” in English. It’s in Spanish imperative tens
/cums in grammar pedantry
Ahhhh. I have trouble with usage that isn’t 100% what they teach in class. Colloquialisms kick my ass.
