Today was the first unofficial day. My job is intake assessment & academic advising. Classes actually start next week; by then I’m on vacation & don’t care what Chainsaw does to their teacher.
NFL News:
- Because it’s the 100th NFL season, the Hall of Fame is on the verge of announcing plans for a special centennial class of 20 enshrinees.
- Up from the usual maximum of eight.
- They will make it official / have a charade of a vote on August 2nd.
- Here’s your early preview of the marketing slogan: 20 for 2020.
- Up from the usual maximum of eight.
- Ezekiel Elliott issued an apology after meeting with Roger Goodell about his May incident in Las Vegas.
- Back in May, he had a confrontation with a security guard at a Las Vegas music festival.
- Elliott was briefly detained but never arrested after the guard fell after being “nudged” by the running back.
- Here’s the money quote:
- Back in May, he had a confrontation with a security guard at a Las Vegas music festival.
I need to work harder to ensure I do not put myself in compromised situations in the future. I am rededicating myself to use all of the resources that the league has made available. But in the end, it is up to me and I am determined not to be in this position again.
Finally, the biggest highlight on a very slow day is news that the NFL & NFLPA have decided on bargaining dates in July.
- July 17-19, if you are scoring at home.
- They are trying to get a deal done before the start of the 2019 season.
- The current agreement expires after the 2020 season, but to avoid an offseason of misery for all sides, they are trying to seal it up now.
- One issue sure to cause misery is what Florio is calling “stadium credits”.
- The league wants to divert some of the “gross revenues” into a fund for stadium construction & maintenance.
- The problem becomes that:
- The NFLPA currently gets about 47% of gross revenues. The league’s plan would lessen that.
- How much say would the players have in influencing the dispensation of those funds?
- Should workers be expected to contribute to the maintenance & upkeep of their place of employment?
- There’s no word yet on whether Roger Goodell found Paul Tagliabue’s leash, and whether that will impact the negotiations with the NFLPA.

I’m out selling beer tonight. It was a very profitable weekend.
y’all may have won, but there is still teh shame of that Seven Nation Army chant
12s at their best!
Austin Adams is really damned good, it would seem. Especially facing a lineup that had seen LeBlanc’s slop a few hours.
Don’t challenge Beckham. He’ll bat flip all over you.
let that be a lesson kids, NEVAR HOPE
ah, Jesus fuck #BFIB, now I’mma be up all night
Just 1 more hour!
Or just go to bed and know that #BFIB won.
it’s like Crystal Meth Fantasy Camp, I should just skip sleep entirely and keep going on about my day
/also Dirt SeaTruthers’ DH is like, Chris Farley-calibre fat
Vogelbach is doing the home run derby.
Should be entertaining.
I never watch any of the all-star shite, but now I almost have to
so close to Mexicans React Reasonably
SOON!
Edit — Nevermind. The dream is dead.
Indeed, ref is from Qatar, he knows who is supposed to win. I had been hoping for an all-Shithole Countries final (smgdh)
If I recall correctly, a smoking hot Courtney Thorne Smith played the blonde temptress that wanted Mr. Shoop’s bone in the banner image movie.
Funny that in the 80’s, that subject matter was in Hollywood comedies. Nowadays, you only see that on Pornhub…
You are correct. She was also the love interest in Revenge of the Nerds II.
Also, the Italian exchange student in Summer School was Alotta Fagina.
From Nerds 2
He “Sexiest Man Alive” by People in 1986 and a starting UCLA QB in 1972 and 1973. For these reasons I’ve wanted him dead for all these years; his “acting” has just reinforced this. His only redeeming factor was beating the hated Nebraska.
Nothing reminds me of childhood like a filthy PRR E44 locomotive:
How many times did you watch having a train ran on your mom?
I still can’t believe the stupid Gold Cup doesn’t have VAR. If Uruguay-Peru was in the Gold Cup, Uruguay would have advanced.
pretty sure Bolisarno was quite happy to have the raging semis be Guay-free
Dirt SeaTruthers have a Mac and a Dee in their starting lineup, they have a moral obligation to go get a Dennis and a Charlie!
I hope teh Hippo put all the moneys on MEX…
uh….$20.59 on Haiti??
hey, fuck you, my cray-cray Costa Rica bet damned near came in 😀
I don’t think he does coke anymore.
I always thought Haiti’s anthem should be that “Living in the 80s” song, just say “Haiti” all 100 times the song goes “80s”
That’s perfect!
MEX vs HAI in Glendale, AZ?
Can we be sure this isn’t an ICE sting?
Shall we do an Argentinean Fans React Reasonably post?
en espanol, por favor
Wow, Messi is just like me. Never delivers when he’s in the box.
Ayo soon to have a gently used Fleshlight.
I’m abstaining from touching myself until it arrives.
Previous owner never stretched it.
Not to worry. Messi will totally take care of this!
To be fair; there was a peanut back there.

I saw that yesterday. Pretty sickening.
The rent-a-cop looks exactly like he’d do that.
Uf. What a pass.
Why is dfo making fun of mike pence harder?
Blood!
Ha! The ref has twi yellow cards. Good imen.
found a funny:
fun summer tip! if u say “i sure wish i was baptized” loud enough outside of any church u get a free dip in their little pool
Brasil-Tina!! Wooooo!!
Driving to Vegas tomorrow for walk through and paper signing.
I am never moving again. I’ll just have my next place burnt down and I’ll gladly just take the check.
THIS GUY BLAXABBATH I CALL HIM ANDRE RISON CAUSE…well, you know.
“THIS EZEKIEL ELLIOT I CALL HIM STEPHEN PADDOCK BECAUSE HE HAD A MINOR INCIDENT IN LAS VEGAS!”

I knew it! I’m not sick! Its a medical condition!

They already did this in Utah a couple years ago. Meanwhile, there’s some days where the air is so shitty, it’s bad for your health to even go outside!
Agreed. When WWE actually tries, they are good.
Hmm, what to watch tonight. We just finished the latest season of Jessica Jones and don’t have any active Korean shows.
Young Justice finally ended DC Universe’s “Mid-season Milk The Subscribers For Every Cent” hiatus.
Am I the only one who is already tired of sweating?
Oh! And yesterday was the first I heard about the Japandroids. They’re great! [“No shit!” -Everybody]
Related: this is what I think when I hear “Big in Japan”
No interest in her bathwater, but from what I can see I might be interested in buying her.
It gets worse.
Looks like I’m still gonna be thirsty even after buying it.
Zeke’s was top-dollar balderdash:
-lot’s of “I”s and “my”s
-getting into bad circumstances, not actually, you know, having done summin
-league resources
-“up to me”
It should be required reading at Ohio State. If, you know, they could read.
Hey! We know haw too reed yew stooped ahswhole!
Hey, my job is intake assessment too!!

Don’t josh. I once taught Sophia Santi.
That’s awesome!
Taught her why she should avoid men of a certain type.
That woman will take years off your life.
