Okay, let’s see if I can go a week without something bad happening. Can it be 2021 already?
NFL Nuggets:
- Trade rumours in advance of the Combine:
- Le’Veon Bell
- Darius Slay
- Cam Newton
- Today’s non-Bears landing spots: Chargers, Colt, Bucs.
- Andy Dalton.
- Le’Veon Bell
- Impending free agents:
- Tom Brady is going to make teams come to him.
- Teddy Bridgewater is going to hit the market.
- Because Drew Brees announced he’s returning for 2020.
- Cut for cap space:
- The Browns cut four players Monday, freeing up $13 million in cap room.
- The four were cornerback T.J. Carrie, tight end Demetrius Harris, guard Eric Kush and linebacker Adarius Taylor.
- Because none of them had any guaranteed money heading into 2020, the Browns didn’t face any penalties.
- The Browns cut four players Monday, freeing up $13 million in cap room.
- Making noise:
- Joe Burrow is sounding like 2004 Eli Manning, in that he’s discussing the “leverage” he has in advance of the Draft.
Not Drew Magary’s son - Although he is from Ohio, and has said he’d look forward to playing “for whichever team picked him”, the rookie salary cap means that he can’t max out money, so he might try to influence who picks him.
- The best he can do is a four-year, fully-guaranteed contract worth more than $36 million.
- But, after meeting with Carson Palmer, he also said, “You want to go No. 1. But you also want to go to a great organization that is committed to winning. Committed to winning Super Bowls.”

- Invited guests were NFL greats Jerry Rice, Jim Brown, Ronnie Lott.
- “You know what, we all make mistakes and today the president cleared that mistake from him,” said Haley.
- Invited guests were NFL greats Jerry Rice, Jim Brown, Ronnie Lott.
- I’m all for it if he’s able to get Jed York the fuck out of Santa Clara.

I seem to be saying this a lot lately, but thanks to everyone who has been covering my unfortunate behind the last month or so. I will try to avoid missing more dates in future.
The Wings have a -105 goal differential. It almost doesn’t fit in the standings. You hate to see it
If you doubled their points, they’d still be 4 points out in the East.
Found a funny:
[5 seconds left in the final quarter, down by one point, I call a time out, huddle my team into a tight circle, stare each of them in the eye]
I gotta go or I’m gonna miss my bus
Tony Fernandez did that. Pinch hit in the 8th, his spot came up again in the 9th but he’d already gone home.
Are we missing personalities like that in today’s sports or has weird just been replaced by asshole?
Patriots should make an offer for bridgewater
They should and they shouldn’t. The answer you choose depends on whether you’re a Pats fan.
Exactly. If it’s a move you’d hate as a non cheater fan then they’ll probably make it. Clowney will probably go there too at a bargain rate.
Great to see ya again, Rob.
BTW, the WC has new artwork
So they just keep winning, is that it? Just get Michelle Obama to run already. She’s the only one who’d be a lock to win.
Just try to tear her down, millennial purity czars!
No. Don’t actually.
lol
I had really hoped that the guy whose body was found along with the little girl’s in SC…well he was a neighbor. Authorities had been very tight lipped about it until tonight, but I had really hoped it would come out that he had died trying to defend her from someone else.
Not surprisingly, he wasn’t. He strangled her then offed himself.
Humanity can go eat the whole bag of dicks.

Humanity is not that bad in California.
Wait, is LA in Nevada? I’m sure my “Goop Guide to the Primaries and How to Predict them with Avocado Enemas” had a California mailing address.

Weird Al has done so many good things, this might be his greatest.
Rebuttal: Karaoke at a bachelor party where we put Coolio on, all looked at each other, and immediately went into “Amish Paradise.”

The idea that anyone expects the DNC to ratfuck democracy by entertaining the narcissism of a man who is objectively worse than Trump in every way except manners and boorishness and still have any respect or loyalty to the party is fucking stupid. If they keep undermining the process and effectively the rule of law even as it applies to organization rules (since, legally, primaries don’t fall under election laws anymore according the DNC’s own lawyers – coincidentally, the argument southern Democratic parties used to justify whites-only elections before the Voting Rights Act) to ratfuck Bernie or Warren or anyone, then they will prove themselves to be worse than Trump and the most antidemocratic organization in America. And at that point, there is no party. Bernie fucking won. Twice. He will keep winning. He will dominate Super Tuesday. And he will kick Trump’s ass if he is the nominee. No one else in the U.S. can or will. And I know all the fuckery going on in Nevada with their own version of the Shadow app that killed the Iowa caucus (good riddance. Caucuses are fucking archaic, undemocratic, and unjustifiable by any reasonable standard) and the fuckery in L.A. County and elsewhere.
But regardless of what happens, by election day the Democratic Party as it exists now will cease to exist, one way or another. The only question is if it will kill itself protecting billionaires like Trump, or whether it will for the first time since LBJ actually be the progressive organization it claims to be.
Wow, that escalated quickly.
I’m a caucus captain for Warren in my precinct. I and stoked to caucus. I think just finally letting civilized America come out and see one another is the most important part of this primary. Like, how very functioning-democracy would we be if we voted for a different candidate than our neighbor and then smiled to one another and said, “whoever gets the starter job, let’s go fuck over the racist Republican Party in November.
Give. Me. Turnout.
There’s no reason we can’t all come together at the caucuses and throw shit at the Mayor Pete supporters who will be conveniently gathered together
The Democratic Party is the party of The Confederates. Chew on that one.
I thought that was the anti-masons?
Man your American politics can seem so vicious. People didn’t switch from voting in Barack twice to being boorish racists. It’s because of serious issues with the Democratic Party. As an outsider it just seems like people are being forced to pick a wildly extreme side of each party when the majority of people want to be in the middle. Neither side is evil. You don’t necessarily vote for one because you’re a pinko commie or a backwoods bigot. The change is in the middle group who didn’t see their concerns being dealt with by the dems so they switched.
You folks are the leaders of the western world. The most free nation and the most powerful one in the world. Get your shit together cause I don’t want to be living under any of the other big powers rule any time soon. And there’s no way Canada and Western Europe are doing it on our own.
A million times this.
Every primary will be this way while we don’t have third and fourth parties that are legitimate threats to those in power. Something tells me neither the 420 69 Party nor the Bomb All Mosques Party are gonna qualify for any general election debates.
WVU waterboards Okie State in the second half, off the schneid.
And my Sooners are going to lose by 30 at home to Baylor.
So Kerik’s sex pad overlooking Ground Zero is off the market now?
Did we never get around to shitting on John Beilein? Shouldn’t the first clue have been his endless string of Nazi big men at Meeechigan?
What? He meant to say “Slugs”. Read the news!!!!
LMFAO
Lol

Party of Family Values though.
29-0 is the most Utah thing possible
29 kids and 0 means of supporting them? Yep, sounds like Utah.
29-0 is how they refer to widows
Too bad Bill Henrickson ain’t alive to see this…
Why the hell anyone would want more than one wife is beyond me. Hell, I don’t even want one.

It is pretty precious Dreamboat expects “suitors to come to him” – coming off THAT kind of season, at age 43?
Only the Spanoi seem stupid enough to go “all in” such way…
In sports there’s always someone that stupid. Usually it’s Chuck Dolan, but he doesn’t own a football team so Dreamboat might be shit out of luck.
Oh I think it is the Spanoi or little Davis that want him for opening their new stadia.
I’m really enjoying this new writer, uh, **adjusts monocle** BrewBubBill???
Welcome to DFO!
Rad Wings about to end this period with 3 shots, and having given up 2 goals.
It’s been a while since I followed hockey: is that good?
It’s not not NOT good.
“Law and Order” party, my hairy white arse.
HUZZAH FOAR teh AleMan!!
Well, at least now that Bernard Kerik is free there’s a chance he’ll be run over by a bus.
If Mike’s half the politician he thinks he is, it’ll be a Bloomberg 2020 bus
If he was half the politician he thinks he is, you and I would both be voting for him. 😀
/I like how Sen. Warren is ripping the bandaid off here. Bloomberg needs to show he can respond effectively BEFORE Super Tuesday (or have his trial balloon implode on same timeframe).
¡Buenas tardes, chicos!
/eyes narrow
Who’re you callin a ‘tard, pal?
Blue Jackets really came back to Earth
Losing your three best players will do that. As anyone who subscribes to my newsletter already knows, I thought it was a dumb move for them to buy at the deadline last year, don’t care how many #1 seeds they swept.
