Your “Some People Will Say Anything For Attention” Thursday Evening Open Thread

NFL Nuggets:

  • Franchise tag update:
    • no applications
    • Landon Collins expects to be tagged by the Giants, and cleaned out his locker ahead of the designation.
      • According to nfl.com, Collins would likely make more than $12 million on the tag, far more than the $1.27 million base salary he earned in 2018.

  • Florio’s out with a doozy today, alleging Ciara wants out of Seattle, and that’s why Russell Wilson isn’t negotiating an extension to his deal.
    • As the ball bounces, she wants to move to New York, and that DangeRuss will play out his contract, suffer a franchise tag application for about $30 million in 2020, possibly suffer a second tag in 2021 for $36 million, and then sign with the Giants once his third tag value rises to $52 million.

  • There’s another rumour that Le’Veon Bell has ballooned during his time away from the game.
    • Conflicting reports are that he is up to 260 pounds, well above his playing weight of 225. This is possibly why there has been little talk about him ahead of the March 13 free agency window.
  • The Raiders might have kissed & made up with Oakland.
    • Some not-so-gentle prodding from 345 Park Avenue to quickly settle on a home might mean the Raiders stick in Oakland for 2019 & possibly 2020.
      • Teams have to start making travel arrangements ahead of the schedule release, and the NFL has hotel sponsors to support.
    • Hopefully, this means more “That’s My Raiders“.

RIP Peter Tork.

Col. Duke LaCross

I can’t do that.

Sharkbait

Just saw an ad for another Madea movie. How the hell does Tyler Perry still get to make these movies??

Brick Meathook

Because Tyler Perry has personally made damn near a billion dollars off that Madea shit, that’s why he still lets himself make those movies.

Fronkenshteen

Nice Lloyd Dobler pull in the banner photo.

Senor Weaselo

Missed making this joke yesterday because I got a phone call:

THIS ZION WILLIAMSON I CALL HIM AN AMERICAN IDOL BECAUSE HE PULLED A FANTASIA!
/Damn phone link shortening
//The good bit’s at like 3:20 or so

litre_cola

Love regional broadcasts. Due to proximity I get all Gonzaga games. Their conference has some interesting schools. Like tonight for instance they play Pepperdine. Famous alumus? Doug Christie. Go Waves!

theeWeeBabySeamus

Fun Fact: Pepperdine hates NC State.

litre_cola

9/11?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yeah I wondered about that part too.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Ah, because whomever put these vids up did them in 10ish minute chunks.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDMjFQ-Kjsk

theeWeeBabySeamus

It’s sad to watch and know that some of those folks are dead now.

Fronkenshteen

I believe we have us a derby tomorrow at 2:45, yes?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Seamus (I think, unless he’s nuked Florida) has you guys tomorrow night

Florida has not been nuked.
I’m sorry.

Sharkbait

Can we still cut it off and push it out to sea a la Bugs Bunny?

Petronel

Uh…whoops.

20 years later, they’ve finally updated the digital cable interface. In 20 more, it might not be a slow piece of shit.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

Welp, I’m signing up for the free week trial of Showtime because of the DESUS & MERO premiere tonight. They did a Hot Ones that came out this morning and if you like this, you should follow my lead.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIyg6oKSTTE

Gratliff

Didn’t realize that was already starting. Just in time to get my DVR set up.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

I’m so glad they’re back. Been keeping up with their podcast, but it’s not the same.

Sharkbait

Sup bitches?

SonOfSpam

More tragic Monkee death: Peter Tork or Harambe?

Gratliff

Well, actually, Harambe wasn’t a Monkee. He was a Gorillaz.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04mfKJWDSzI

Senor Weaselo

Nobody’s pulling their dick out today, so I’m gonna say Harambe.

SonOfSpam

You SAY that…

Duchess

Shit were not pulling our dicks out tonight I have been gone too long…. Is there a calendar I should bookmark?

Viva La Tabula Raza

ook ook?

Btw, if LeVeon Bell is 260, I’m 320.

Gratliff

Flyera loudly announcing they have no plans of contending for Montreal’s playoff spot, and I commend their commitment to the narrative.

SonOfSpam

Hey, they get a touchdown they’re right back in this thing.

Gratliff

That’s right, ladies. Ol’ Nick doesn’t need a hockey stick to shoot the puck.

SonOfSpam

Ain’t goin five-hole on him, that’s fo sho.

Duchess

BTW… On TLC right on w is Dr Pimple popper with a dude whose body is covered in cysts

SonOfSpam

That show should be classified as a hate crime. THE LEARNING CHANNEL.

Duchess

Oh its just TLC… It no longer stands for The Learning Channel since prvate equity guys bought out the government.

SonOfSpam

That’s…better? I don’t even know any more.

SonOfSpam

Duggars, zits…either way, teenagers are fucked.

SonOfSpam

That’s just fucking horrible. Some asshole mom with too much time on her hands decides Jenny McCarthy is a healthcare expert.

litre_cola

I am just going to put decilitre in it because I was put in it and I like speaking both languages. I was raised by a single mom who was a teacher in the same public system. Maybe she did it because of that.

Duchess

Not better just meaning its not “The Learning Channel” it no longer has a mandatory educational programming. Which is bad because growing up they used to have “educational” videos about sex. It was like the random boobs on PBS or watching scrambled skinimax

Game Time Decision

When its on I cannot stop watching that show. I have issues

blaxabbath

The weird thing about this ISIS chick trying to come back to the US is the fact that these guys weren’t just like, “Go back to the US and we’ll send you instructions,” as soon as she arrived to be a part of their gang. Instead they just keep her there? Seriously, how fucking dumb is ISIS? I mean, American women….

Duchess

Damn this Nymphomania…. Sorry just need some attention.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Missed you!

Duchess

Being over worked and under employed sucks ass I barely have time to be a snarky dickhead on Twitter

blaxabbath

Can one be overemployed?

Duchess

Yes… Yes they can. Trump and his whole administration I’d say are over employed

rockingdog

Oh no!!!! not a thunderstorm in the OC!!!
Will the president call a national emergency??
Will thoughts and prayers be enough??

Brick Meathook

They’re probably all dead by now, because you folks didn’t pray enough.

SonOfSpam

Yeah, thanks to people like that guy, I’m barely alive.

Brick Meathook

I was praying for you. God bless.

Senor Weaselo

Did Sam Rosen just say “Minnesota Vikings” instead of “Minnesota Wild”? Why yes, yes he did.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Google is giving me push notifications on the Nets game. This is your fault, Ian.

Well this is a NETS house.

I don’t care that Oakland and the Raiders set a deal — I’m still going to post about what a hellhole Tucson, AZ is. You step in the NFL kitchen, you’re gonna need take the HOT TAEKES.

Duchess

Tucson can be fun… You have the native American dance festival… It trys to be Austin in the desert when Nashville tries to be Austin in the mountains.

blaxabbath

Yep — this is more “Why Tucson is a bad place to have a mortgage.”

Duchess

Tell me about it BoA fucked up my moms mortgage there with a mysterious balloon payment with no record of existing at the time of purchase

Duchess

Also I meant Asheville NC auto correct doesn’t like that city

blaxabbath

I never get the “Player’s wife wants to move” news. I mean, you’re in Seattle — where Wilson is beloved — for just a few months a year. And it isn’t like you can’t jet set between SEA and NYC as needed. My wife’s friend was married to an ex (I think he didn’t play anywhere this season so he should be done) NFL player — their out of state wedding was RIGHT when we started dating so I didn’t get to go fanboi it up — but they keep their home in Arizona and just live wherever he played during the year (and that poor bastard played for a couple of non-MIA AFC East teams). Granted, he was probably more lucky to just be playing anywhere that Wilson is but, still, come on.

And I can think of much worse NFL cities to be stuck in than SEA.

Besides, does Russell Wilson really want to move to NYC to just play second-fiddle at METLIFE to Sam Darnold?

Duchess

Yes I’m Sure Ciara is upset because Russ Russ spends less than half a yr in Seattle

rockingdog

scored early. 1-0 Sharks up!
CHOMP!!!!comment image

SonOfSpam

Any of you handsome LA people get snowed on? We’re just getting a thunderstorm in OC.

Also, I’m gonna tell Judge Berman that Roger Stone’s been talking to me about the case. Anyone gonna back me up?

blaxabbath

Hannity is gonna bring on Stone and have him blinking once for yes, twice for no. There is absolutely no way that asshole will be able to keep his mouth shut.

Then again, he also makes $47,000.00/Month and he’s got rubes giving him their money for defense.

Guess what I’m saying is, there is each a 33/33/33 chance that: Stone gets his bail revoked; Stone keeps his nose clean; Judge Jackson is assassinated.

SonOfSpam

Yeah, all that sounds correct. You’re good at anal
ysis.

rockingdog

…….I kind of want to live in the timeline/simulation where Jackson gets assassinated.
LOL or the judge takes a random trip to russia….

yeah right

Well, it’s cold and windy but that’s about as much excitement as we’ve had.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I’m in SF for a hot second. Then Sacramento. Then DC. Then back to LA (briefly). I hope I avoid snow in all locales.

herodotus450

More shocking than Boeheim killing a guy is the fact that he’s been at Syracuse for 43 years?

rockingdog

Lets go sharks!!! ROOOOck it!!!!
