Your “Just Go With The Flow” Wednesday Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

  • The day was filled with Cardinals rumours.
    • Bruce Arians wants out of the desert at the end of the season.
      • Counterpoint: he says he’s not leaving.
    • Colin Kaepernick is being considered to replace Carson Palmer.
      • I find it hard to believe they’d go that route with the combo of Drew Stanton & Blaine Gabbert just sitting there.
  • Warn the lady reporters: Doug Pederson thinks Carson Wentz reminds him of Brett Favre.
    • Or, he’s subtly warning us that he’s a sexual predator. Really, the language could go either way:
      • “He’s got that aggressiveness that Brett had.”
      • “One of the things that Brett was able to do is just elevate the play around him.”
      • “Carson’s a little more calculated.”
      • “Favre was that way, and I see a lot of the same characteristics in Carson.”
  • Redemption story? The Panthers have signed former Bucs kicker Roberto Aguayo to their practice squad.
    • Current kicker Graham Gano has knee soreness, so Aguayo is more insurance that replacement at this point.
  • Golden Tate’s bad shoulder has led the Lions to sign WR Jace Billingsley off their practice squad to the active roster.
    • Tate is expected to miss several weeks.
    • Billingsley spent 2016 with the Lions’ practice squad for the entire year, seeing no game action.
      • He is expected to see limited duty in his first game, but they expect him to be around long enough to see if Matt Stafford will finally lick the pole.

  • The Seahawks have signed Dwight Freeney to a one-year deal.
    • Ostensibly, to replace Cliff Avril, whom they expect to be out for a while, given they put him on IR.
      • But don’t try to talk me out of thinking Pete Carroll is going to convert him to Left Tackle. “Gotta keep Russ healthy” is forever the logic.
    • As is Seahawks tradition when signing a near-retired future Hall of Famer, they are expected to dust off Cortez Kennedy’s #96.

Finally, oh God the Browns:

  • The Browns announced they will sacrifice DeShone Kizer to the Vikings defence in London this Sunday.
  • Myles Garrett is in concussion protocol.
  • ESPN has decided to showcase the misery of being a Browns fan overseas.
  • Joe Thomas had successful surgery on his triceps.
    • He’s still out for the season.

RIP Fats Domino. I wanted an English version, but Italian will have to do.

Somebody said ‘pie?’

Senor Weaselo

So how big is the meteor we’re rooting for for Penn St/Ohio St?

Viva La Tabula Raza

Big enough to take out the venue in Columbus and for the fallout to obliterate Happy Valley and wherever the president is playing golf.

Unsurprised

Sixth Great Extinction-grade

Senor Weaselo

Biggio, Bagwell, and Berkman? That’s basically it, right?

Mr. Ayo

Nolan Ryan

Senor Weaselo

Since he’s a part-owner/whatever he does for the Rangers, would he do it?

(Also I’m using that as the reason I forgot about him.)

Mr. Ayo

It’s been almost 50 years since he made an appearance in the World Series, so maybe.

Senor Weaselo

Yeah, but that wasn’t with the Astros, either.

/And then the Mets traded him. Because they’re the Mets. And assorted Weaselo generations chortle. Okay, just my dad and me.

Mr. Ayo

JJ Watt.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Mattress Mack.
