Your MXC Monday Evening Open Thread

NFL Nuggets:

  • Obviously, Don Shula’s passing is the big news of the day.  
    • He was 90 years old.
    • From 1951 to 1957, he played defensive back for the Browns, Colts and [*Redacted] s.
    • He began coaching in 1960, and was a head coach for 33 total years, winning 347 total games, including playoffs, and won two of the six Super Bowls he coached in.
      • Records helped by the fact that he had Johnny Unitas, Bob Griese and Dan Marino as QBs.
    • He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1997.

People mourn in their own way. The Patriots cobbled together a translation of Bill Belichick’s grumbles & snorts,

and the internet passed their own judgement.

  • All the 2020 International Games have been cancelled.
    • They were scheduled to have four games in London & one in Mexico City.
      • All the “home teams” will instead host the games at their home stadiums.
        • This will force Jacksonville to host eight regular season games for the first time in twelve years.
    • However, adding the new dates is not expected to delay the release of the 2020 NFL schedule later this week.
  • Mike Florio is doing his damnedest to create friction in Green Bay, pointing out how the Packers could save money by trading Aaron Rodgers.  
    • They would still have to eat a $36 million cap charge, but would save $4.796 million by trading him after the season ends & before a roster bonus takes effect six days into the 2021 League year.
    • He also engages in ageism, pointing out how they’d get more for a 37 year-old than a 38 year-old.
      • Which rules out the Cowboys, because Jerry Jones doesn’t pay for anything older than 34.
  • On the topic of hookers, I never thought Jim Irsay would turn one down, but it appears the Colts have declined the fifth-year option for safety Malik Hooker.
    • He was apparently jail trade bait prior to the draft, but the Colts got no offers.
    • He has 7 INTs in his three years thus far, and is scheduled to earn $2.18 million this year.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Something interesting is happening with the coronavirus death rate. The number of confirmed cases is still going up at pretty much the same rate, but the number of deaths is falling off a good bit – the deaths/cases rate has dropped below 6.9% and is still falling. An optimist would see this as indicating that we are starting to identify more of the less severe cases, and the death rate should continue to fall.

Of course, Russia is only at a 1% death rate so far and their case count is skyrocketing, so it’s probably safe to assume we’ll see a new spike in deaths. But maybe that means they will be too busy dying to be spamming us with propaganda.

I just notice those nails are fake. I am HIGHLY disappointed these are not home grown. They were probably just added for this picture.

It is interesting what people find disturbing; for instance the post below with my joke about why WCS hates mayo so much received a minus 1 vote, which I personally reserve for those that are racist, bigoted, or spreading misinformation, or some such, even though I am sorely tempted to downvote pro-P*triots posts. Maybe it is because of the misuse of Jello…. I can understand that.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

And another one with the foot. I notice people will upvote a -1ed bigoted statement so as not to “offend” the poster but will downvote an image just meant as humorous and to make you groan. They will upvote the one I posted about blood sausage (menstrual), which I found funny as hell having visited the UK multiple times, but hesitated posting because… well, it’s on the edge. Such is life.
