NFL Notes:
- Branden Albert now wants to unretire & play for the Jags.
- News he might have to repay a $3.4 million signing bonus will do that to a fella.
- Jags management instead are keeping him on the “reserve/retired” list, having moved him over from the more vague “left team” list”.
- Also, their 2017 first-round pick was used on Albert’s position, so he had no bargaining power to force a new deal.
- Sheldon Richardson keeps taking shots at Brandon Marshall like a spurned lover.
“That whole situation was sticky because we lose and he did little things that were drama queenish…[snip] If he can’t come out to the media and tell them what he did and how he actually quit on this team well before the season was over, well that’s all in itself.”
- Jay Cutler will not play in the Dolphins first pre-season game versus the Falcons, as he gets used to fumbling snaps under a different center.
- Although his 51-51 record with the Bears makes him more of a Jeff Fisher guy, Cutler enjoyed his career best QBR in 2015 under Gase.
- One-third of the Titans is up for sale, as Bud Adams’ daughter Susie Adams Smith is selling her stake in KSA Industries, which includes one-third ownership of the Titans.
- The League, the Adams family, and Goldman Sachs are “adamant” that this 1/3 does not provide a pathway to control of the franchise.
Finally, Spike Lee has announced he is promoting a rally for Colin Kaepernick on August 23rd. Because nothing makes you look more like a unifying influence on an organization than Spike Lee.
- The “He Got (No) Game)” rally will be held outside NFL HQ at 345 Park Avenue.
- Officially “a number” of civil rights groups are the ones doing the organizing. Because nothing says “sanctioned event” like spelling the guy you support’s name wrong.
There has been no response from the League, save the Ravens still really, probably, possibly kinda just maybe considering Kaep to back up Flacco in case His Eliteness is unable to start the season.

Oh, Jesus. I need this in my life.
Is there anything Shutterstock makes that isn’t creepy?
We appear to have the beginning of a wasp’s nest at our apartment. Can I just rip that fucker down or do I need to spray it first? Alternatively, moose, want to come to Boulder and take care of a wasp’s nest?
If it’s active, douse the shit out of it with wasp/hornet killer. Honestly, I’d let it sit and then douse it again. Then knock it down and get ready to start stomping.
There’s too much baseball in this thread. POUR ME ANOTHER
I LOVE THIS ON SO MANY LEVELS:
Whiiiiiiiskey time
Wooooooo!
There is a corner space in my living room where nothing is currently placed. My drums used to be there, but I haven’t found anything of substance to replace them with, excluding the Moosemas Tree during the season.
For some reason, the various women in my life are apparently individually hellbent on putting a chair of some kind there. It is directly parallel with the TV, making any viewing angle ridiculous and the only purpose would be to stare awkwardly at whomever is currently seated on the couch. Roommate Commander and her mother are the latest to attempt this and I just cannot fathom why anyone would think this makes any sense.
Just explain to RC and RC’s mother that if they’re going to stick unwanted things in awkward places, you get to do the same.
So put drums back there. Problem solved.
I’ve got some I’ll sell you cheap.
All I want is a PS4.
They dun got sold…
New drums > chair

Seems legit.
Oh, good. Let’s turn this into a holy war.
We all know what happens next…….
“Sorry, I’m going to have to just call you back.”
“Tell me how hard you are right now.”
“Overcooked spaghetti.”
You can say you are prude, or classy, or have refined tastes…… you know you’d do it… you may hide it from your friends, insist to your parents you wouldn’t, but you’d do it and you’d dip until the sauce was gone…. even if you can’t admit it to yourself.
I love Cheetos grilled cheese.
That looks fantastic.
So when you guys flying Dennis rodman over there?
Drumpf already appointed Rodman Secratary of Basketball or something.
There’s a guy on Colbert interviewing him while they have progressively spicier sauces on wings. Which leads to a question: HOW IS THIS NOT MY JOB?
C’mon Sarge!
If it ever stops raining here, I need to send ya some updated photos of the peppers out back in the garden.
Wow, that came out more redneck than I intended.
I’m a libtard and I gots pepper in my yard; sweet, cayenne, and bell (sounds like a good set of running backs)
Question for both of you if you both grow peppers. I’m growing hot peppers for the first time (Datil peppers). Do the peppers grow out of the flowers the same way bell peppers do? I’ve had a lot of flowering but only a few peppers so far on the datils.
Yes, I’ve had a few over the years that didn’t pepper for some reason. Mine do well in big flower pots. The sweet banana peppers have produced a few and the bells have had several, the cayenne has about 30 on, but are still green.
I’ve had several bells but the datils are just now putting out a few. I only planted them in mid-May so it hasn’t been that long, but they’ve grown like crazy. They’ve already at least four foot high and really filled out and bushy. Just not sure what to expect because I’m fairly new to gardening.
And my pepper plants are all in pots. The soil is for shit down here.
So do the peppers actually sprout out of the flowers like they do on the bells?
The last sauce was Blair’s Mega Death. Colbert was in visible discomfort. I have the last remnants of a bottle of Ultra Death. Ultra Death is hotter.
