NFL News:
- The League & the union are discussing shortening the preseason.
- They would drop from four games to two – keeping Weeks 3 & 4 but dropping weeks 1 & 2.
- The thinking is that it would give teams more time to adjust to the COVID training reality, giving players more time to “ramp up” to the rigors of the regular season.
- Under the newly ratified CBA, players now report to camp 47 days before their Week 1 opener.
- For 30 teams, that is July 28.
- For the Thursday Night opener, the Chiefs & Texans, that’s July 25th.
- They would drop from four games to two – keeping Weeks 3 & 4 but dropping weeks 1 & 2.
- The Panthers are “removing” the Jerry Richardson statue from outside their stadium.

- Previously, new owner David Tepper said he was “contractually obligated” as part of the sale to keep the statue.
- However, he appears to have found a loophole in a “public safety” statement.

We were aware of the most recent conversation surrounding the Jerry Richardson statue and are concerned there may be attempts to take it down. We are moving the statue in the interest of public safety.

The moderation bot got another one; this is part of Bill Gates vaccine 5G chip injection campaign.
That model toy has very good plastic protection.
I made my first eBay sale today. $800.
I sold my soul. Got paid right away too. Thanks PayPal!
What the hell…
In 3 hours, AFL begins again!!
Crikey. Best get some Bitters.
Tell me how to watch it and I’ll watch it with you (on-line of course – there’s a pandemic don’t you know?!). I promise nothing.
Fox Sports 1! Coverage starts at 2:30 Pacific.
I love What We Do In The Shadows. So so good!
The premise turned me off, but I’m willing to give it a try.
It’s also shot in Toronto, so it counts as Canadian content.
“Where the hell is Gizmo?”
This is my yacht when I organized a fart-lighting contest between the crew and the powerful Wall Street financiers who were my guests. This photo, taken by the police, shows my championship fart.
My yacht sank 36 minutes later.
As does everyone.
Some to a much higher degree than others, thus the point.
Indeed.
“GROSS!”

Most of these were ruined within hours of purchase depending on distance from the store and when mom left the recipient alone.
I absolutely ADORE that Allen Iverson makes multiple commercials in Australia for betting companies! They’re awesome!

Just another reminder: hair stylists, barbers, cutters, manicurists, estheticians, etc. are all independent contractors. They weren’t eligible for unemployment insurance and even when the CARES Act allowed for compensation for ICs, they didn’t get to apply until the end of April in almost all states. If they got anything, because, well, it’s complicated. Point is that you better tip the fuck out of whomever cuts your hair.
And it’s not like they were swimming in cash before the pandemic.
They missed graduation season. That’s serious money season.
Sure, long as I get a happy ending.
They would appreciate that.
I did my own the other day and finished off the top just now. The edges are easy. Getting consistent top takes skill. But I’m fucking awesome.
We still talking about happy endings?
I have more hair than God right now. I am never cutting it ever again, and within twelve month it will reach the floor.
I’m looking forward to resuming pedicures and some quality ball-waxing though.
Let’s have a drink.
“Call me on the Wiener Phone.
She’s talking to Maxwell.
We all have our preferences/ fetishes.
Balls would call the shoe phone with his wiener phone.
RIP Kurt Thomas. Your film career was legendary.
Try the new Farting Barbie.
Who didn’t want to slap Nellie to the ground? Bitch!
I din’t expect to be this incapacitated tonight. Jeebus bless the dispensary lady.

I took one 10 mg gummy and smoked half a doob. I am wrecked, for some reason. Not gonna bitch, it’s a nice buzz!
Whoever thought of that Jerry Richardson statue caveat deserves a promotion. Well, the higher up who took credit for it, anyway.
So we have been watching My Strange Addiction, and each week they get curiouser and curiouser. This week Pony Play, and a lady that drinks paint.
I have questions, but I’m not sure I want the answers
There is less furry activity during the summer…
Here is a comprehensive list of “addictions” or fetishes for your perusal with disgust, amusement and some combination there of.

Together.
I’ll start: Addicted To Coffee Enemas.
Eats Mattresses.
Eats the Walls of their houses.
The lady that ate the cat treats was not playing with a full deck.
You say that as though it is an anomaly for that show.
Cat treat lady had the crazy eyes though. There were more skeletons in that closet.
Probably in the yard, maybe not even her yard.
Men who get dolled up in secret are stepping out in public for the first time at rubber doll rendezvous. This is an insider’s look into the world of female maskers: men who dress in rubber suits and masks to look like life-sized, shapely female dolls.
Whatever. Here’s the actual:
At least Bill would kill you outright and end the suffering.
You are correct.

Looks like they have an action figure for the space ship.
Dude’s name is Alen? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that spelling.
Fictional character Copyright law is a strange thing indeed. Also; that’s what you got out of that joke? I am a failure.
New Carl!

I missed the whiskey input session? Damn
I did too sadly.
ILLEGITIMATE SESSION
Isn’t that an ale from some brewery in Southern California?
This was a prospect the Padres were high on and passed on. Never has someone so quickly risen on my death list.
The lousy Chinese restaurant that has lousy Chinese food opened back up again. We ordered some of their lousy food. Their lousy food was gotdamn delicious. #conflicted
You’ll change your mind in twenty minutes.

No ticket.

“Spencer Torkelson” sounds like the name of the dweeby buddy in some raunchy Animal House-esque movie from the 80s, where everybody yells “Torkelson!” when he falls over and ruins their parties. Or first overall basedball draft pick, that works too.
Reminds me of Turkleton
Ooh, time for another Wednesday Brain Teaser, patent pending: If a black athlete kneels in front of a burning Confederate flag, what is the color of skin of the person calling him a coward?
Dan Snyder has an answer. It’s not a good answer, but it’s an answer.
I haven’t watched that vampire show, is it any good? I’m down for something silly fun.
Do the movie first. It’s foockin’ brilliant.
Thanks, I’ll try to find it.
I was not a huge fan of the movie, but I fucking love the show. Matt Berry yelling “Ba~at” every time he transforms is probably 80% of that.
You didn’t like What We Do In The Shadows? Huh. 23 of your past comments and 17 of your future comments will be be stricken from the record. GOOD DAY, SIR!
My bad, double post
I one for am hopeful Jerry Richardson’s statue is relocated a new home in Redacted’s stadium
How pissed are NASCAR fans now that the Confederate battle flag is banned?
The infields will burn once they let them back in.
Wait, they discovered the secret of how to make fire? God help us all.
Considering most of their fan’s bellies are the same size as a flag look for it to be painted as a loophole
If they seriously ban any of those flags from being brought in, half the fans are going to have to have their tattoos removed at the gate. Time to invest in flensing knives.
So pissed that they demand that all drivers start turning right?
Smart. Drive the track in reverse and mission accomplished.
Your race vids that you posted were gotdamn awesome. Just blew me away…
There will be more. Getting the car back tomorrow. To the track on Friday.
Their plan is to do it fast enough that it turns back time to the 50s. Preferably the 1850s.
So Trump’s first post-quarantine MAGA rally is gonna be in Tulsa (worst race incident in US history) on June 19th (aka Juneteenth, or Emancipation Day).
How hard was Stephen Miller when he made those plans?
And God, if you do exist, please rain down fire or whatever on that gathering. Amen.
The prom scene from Carrie would work for me.
It’s gonna be a little like this, but with less water and more plague.

So probably not entirely coincidental that the Panthers crew removing the Richardson statue was kind enough to put the removal rope at about 3/5 of the way up.

Man, this place is a bad influence.
I love it.
