NFL Nuggets:
- Andrew Luck updates:
- The Colts are letting him keep his bonus money from the last contract signing.
- It amounts to $16.8 million, since he had three years left on the five-year extension he signed in 2016.
- There are rumours that Jim Irsay has known for a (little) while that Luck might be calling it quits.
- And Frank Reich might have known since mid-August, when he said,
- “By the end of the third preseason game, you have to know something. You have to be able to make a call and move from there in whether we’re full speed with Andrew after that third preseason game or if at that point we’re going with Jacoby. We’ll make that decision with that when the time comes.”
- And Frank Reich might have known since mid-August, when he said,
- Peter King has opinions. So does Dreamboat.
- Jacoby Brissett has “been on a rollercoaster of emotions”.
- The Colts are letting him keep his bonus money from the last contract signing.
- The keyboard warriors are still out in full force, but I have found the perfect distillation of that sentiment:
NFL players: “Andrew Luck is a warrior. I get why he quit.”
Tom, your neighbor who hires someone to cut his grass: “Andrew Luck is soft!”

- Non-surprise retirement news:
- Patrick Chung has pleaded “Not Guilty” to the cocaine charge against him.
- His next court appearance is scheduled for November 8th.
- No word on any pre-emptive NFL sanction against him.
- Antonio Brown lost the second grievance about his helmet.
- But he has managed to turn the grief into an endorsement deal for a new helmet.
- New CBA discussions have centred on expanding the playoffs, which could result in shortening the preseason.
- The current agreement expires in 2020, so they aren’t expecting to finalize the deal before season’s start.
- Patrick Chung has pleaded “Not Guilty” to the cocaine charge against him.
Finally, in made-up things that cause smiles, it’s International Dog Day.

Only see this in 70mm in a huge theater with a big screen.
But see this, nonetheless, on the biggest screen you can find and make sure all the children are also watching.

This looks like “The Adjustment Bureau” but good.
The real people who are suffering right now?
The poor bastards that want a three piece, red beans and rice and a biscuit from Popeyes.
The chicken sandwich is pretty good.
I went to the El Segundo Ralphs on Sunday and bought a pork tenderloin, milk & eggs, panko crumbs, and chunked (not powdered) garlic and onion, plus some fresh baked kaiser rolls.
I’m going to make a fine soup with these humble ingredients.

Where the fuck is everybody?
Enjoying the end of summer before school starts next week?
We’re all hunting rehab chicks trying to find god in our pants.
I’m doing taxes and waiting for someone to say something.
Hey, ask your guy if it’s okay to not file for 8 straight years. Asking for a friend of course.
You’re only responsible for SEVEN (7) years back! Plus debts are forgiven after seven years, and that’s the maximum length of a legal contract. It’s a rule from Leviticus in the Old Testament of the Bible. Very old school Hebrew, but used to this day.
In next week’s episode, the Hebrews face the Egyptians in a sea battle you won’t want to miss. Fred MacMurray guest stars. 8:00 PM Channel 6
Selling beer at the stadium.
BFC and Bgr: they both possess a work ethic, that’s for sure.
Moar like I ain’t allergic to cash money.
According to my accountant, I’m allergic to all forms of money.
Even the bills covered in cocaine?
Where the fuck are you?
Those are delicious.

I lugged tables and chairs up and down and around this house on a hill all day yesterday and now my arms hurt like I worked out, but now I want to go back to lifting weights and working out at the gym because it reminds me of when I was less of a piece of shit.
People dunking on Dan Dakich is pretty good. What a worthless, petty cunt.
My favorite
Finally got a chance to yell at Doug Gottlieb for his absolutely asinine Andrew Luck TAEK. He claims Luck is a lazy Millennial by taking all the Clots money, and then retiring because of injury. He then doubled-down on that TAEK by saying it’s an endemic situation “with this generation.” Mind you, this guy was convicted of stealing his roommates credit cards, and had to transfer to Oklahoma State. In his “recap” video, he even mentions that, saying, “it was a different time.”
So glad I switched to satellite radio, and just use Twitter for news.
Dang WCS, your reaction is so Millennial.
ALSO: You read Twitter for “news” ? ?
You sonofabitch. I’m going to be laughing at this for days. Unlike Doug Gottlieb. Or, Andrew Luck, because he physically cannot laugh anymore.
Fuck fans. Fans are the worst.
Fuck fans. Fans are the worst.
People with terrible Andrew Luck takes are the worst.
HOWEVER, there is value in them shooting off their mouths/typing away like keyboard tier one operators.
This has let people show their asses over something that has huge implications about health and work, and people who have bad Andrew Luck takes are shitty people over those same issues when it comes to everyone else who doesn’t have $100MM in the bank. There’s also a significant chance that he’ll never be 100% again, but at least he has that to lessen the blow for him and his family. But the people entitled to someone’s suffering for their entertainment without considering that person’s humanity is just as likely to treat everyone else that way, the kind of person to shit on retail employees, to demand subordinates to work themselves to death for them, to expect the entire world to cater to them without regard to the humanity of the millions and billions of people whose lives and work made these HOT TAEK artists’ lives possible because none of us will have anything remotely like our current lifestyles if it weren’t for how interconnected and dependent we are on everyone else in the world to make what we consume, to maintain and fix what we have, to maintain order in the universe.
The people who are so entitled and selfish and utterly lacking in empathy towards someone who’s been nearly crippled six times – and we’ve seen those causes and effects – then they aren’t going to have empathy to anyone else, especially those they genuinely see as beneath them.
Word. This is a most beautiful and cogent summary and the best explanation yet for why we don’t deserve nice things.
On a related note, I am less excited about footbaw with every new season, and stories like this only make it worse.
I think that footbaw will eventually be seen as something similar to lead paint, cigarettes and lawn darts: we only do it because we don’t know what we don’t know, then convince ourselves we do, only to pass the blame to someone else when we find out we were wrong. Again.
Evening. I need to hibernate.
Well, we’ll see you in March I guess.
Not if I can help it.
Luckily, football season is starting so you’ll have more time for three-hour long naps.

That’s a great photo. I know where that is, and that’s a surreal place.
Slab City and a crazy cool Christian shrine are just north of these tracks (to the left). Oh they’re still unspoilt because nobody in their right mind would go there. I did, and so should you.
. . . just *east* of these tracks . . .
The older I get, the worse my OCD gets.

So I’m doing my corporate taxes for FY 2018 with my accountant via email and telephone and I swear it’s like sticking my head in a fucking oven.
Plus the accountant keeps changing my legitimate business expenses into “loan to shareholder” because my graft and corruption apparently exceeded my retained earnings and basis, whatever the fuck that means.
When I buy drugs and booze and hookers and so forth it’s because it’s business related. Why is that so hard to understand?
How much depreciation are you allowed to declare on those hookers?
ACTUAL CONVERSATION I HAD TODAY:
ME: What does “basis” even mean?
CPA: That’s how much skin you have in the game.
ME: Oh, I see. What the hell does that mean?
CPA: Well that’s your basis, duh.
You buy hookers?
you break ’em you buy ’em
Hehehehehe
“Serena dominates Sharapova at US Open”
Oh, someone found my bdsm fan fic.
Only if Sharapova had a ball gag in, her grunting was fucking annoying as usual.
Agreed. Those are awesome dogs you’ve got.
Riga and Lambeau want to come live with me.
YOU KNOW IT’S TRUE ROB!!!!!!!!!!
File this under “It can always be worse”.
Today, I was helping one of my nieces with moving and such. On the way home, I called Mom and asked if she’d like for me to stop at one of our favourite seafood joints so she wouldn’t feel the need to cook. She said yes.
So while I’m sitting and waiting for my order, I struck up a conversation with another customer who was also waiting.
She was a very friendly and engaging woman. But it turns out she and her husband were driving up from Georgia to Richmond to try to force their daughter into rehab. She’s hooked on pills and…they think…prostituting.
I don’t have any problems compared to that.
But you have started text messaging the daughter.
OH COME ON!!!!!
Looking forward to reading how this one ends in a few weeks
Also, I’m really disturbed by the fact that Dunstan’s comment has gotten 10 likes so far.
Only because we can like it once each
12
13. I had to +1 it out of general principle.
This isn’t a denial. Did you also get the mom’s number?
OH COME ON!!!!!!
Also no….i came home and ate teh hell outta some shrimp and clams.
So we’re not doing “Phrasing” anymore?
You’re all terrible people.
And besides, I don’t have enough disposable cash to buy a hooker and meth on the same night.
You don’t have to pay the dead ones.
Those are such beautiful dogs.
International Dog Day, and here I am thinking that Trump was trying to get tough with China.
Shit. This isn’t good at all.

Maybe he needs more White House Big Macs?
found a funny:
Werner Herzog calling Max Von Sydow to ask if he should do Star Wars and Max saying “death awaits us all, what is one dalliance with perversion” and Werner politely saying goodbye and asking his Alexa to play the Moonlight Sonata while his cat sheds a single tear
those look like 2 rocking dogs!
You should listen to this rockindog guy, he knows rockin’ dogs.
That’s some Very Good Boys. (The dogs…no humans meet that criterion.)
Check out the Luck jokes in the Fat Humps Clots preview.
Also, I went ahead and assumed this will make the cut for this week’s Quotables.
Good call.
I think there MAY be an OJ gif every week in Q’s this year.
Awesome doggies!!
