Your Tuesday Evening “Sometimes Everything Is Wrong” Open Thread

NFL Nuggets:

  • Hurt!:
    • Le’Veon Bell – on IR with a pulled hamstring.
    • Saints WR Michael Thomas – a high ankle injury.
      • may not miss any time, according to his doctor.

        Writer’s interpretation
    • Cowboys LB Leighton Vander Esch – out for 6-8 weeks with a fractured collarbone.
    • Cowboys TE Blake Jarwin – out for the year with a torn ACL.
  • Stats!
    • Kickers in the NFL combined to convert just 71.6 percent of field goal attempts in Week 1.
      • Not helping the average – Stephen Gostkowski’s 1-4 FGs & 1-2 on PATs.
        • Cody Parkey was the last kicker to miss four kicks in a win, and the Bears kept him for all of 2018. PRAISE SHANK’LOR!
    • Holding calls were down 78% from Week 1 last year.
      • Only 18 flags for offensive holding were called in Week 1 2020.
        • With 199 total flags thrown across the league.
      • It’s considered both a compensation for the lack of training camp and part of the league’s effort to work on training teams how to cut down on such penalties.
  • Upset!
    • Allen Robinson, who feels disrespected in contract extension talks with Bears.
      • Because it’s the 21st Century, and this is how things work now, he’s wiped his social media of all references to the Bears, including photos of himself in uniform and the team name.
      • Working in his favour? His career statistics are close to those of Keenan Allen, who recently signed a four-year extension with the Chargers averaging more than $20 million per season.
      • Working against him? His previously torn ACL, which got him out of Jacksonville but puts his value into question.

Musical interlude!

Because there are always recriminations after Week One of fantasy. Also, I have nothing.

Most bitchin’ thingS happened today. During s bidness call this PM, I saw a hen and her chicks ATTACK a stray cat that was stalking them. Boids won.
During the same call, the neighbor who until today was a sworn enemy gifted me two breadfruits from his tree. Sufficed to say, the chicks and neighbors pointed me in the right direction.
And OF COURSE, ah peeled and fried and smash and fried again teh breadfruit to eat with steak

yeah right

It sure feels like the NBA is trying to set up a Lakers Celtics series.

SonOfSpam

Well it sure as fuck ain’t gonna be the Clippers.

“We’re the LA team now” LOLOLOL sad little cousins

SonOfSpam

That’s 50 straight seasons without a conference final appearance for the Clippers.

Truly a Browns-esque performance.

SonOfSpam

The Clips are supposed to get a new arena in Inglewood.

I’m thinking Saugus or perhaps Fontana.

SonOfSpam

Clippers blew a 3-1 lead to DENVER.

Fucking DENVER.

Clippers are and have always been ass.

SonOfSpam

Maybe Michael Olowokandi has a son old enough for the Clippers to draft.

SonOfSpam

Best Clipper ever? Chris Kaman. Change my mind.

Was looking for something similar to The Expanse to check out and was suggested Legion, which is very much not like The Expanse but appropriately weird for mindless watching.

Dunstan

Legion is one of those series that I saw a few episodes of, and liked just enough to think “I should keep watching,” but not enough to actually do it. Thanks for the reminder.

I have, however, been enjoying Lovecraft Country and The Boys recently.

Gratliff

I didn’t realize it was an adaptation of the X-Men character because there’s approximately 80 Marvel adaptations running simultaneously and it’s impossible to keep track of them all. Evil Aubrey Plaza’s been a lot of fun, though.

SonOfSpam

I enjoyed Legion, but like a lot of shows it went off the rails toward the end.

You’re right about Aubrey Plaza. She can do whatever she wants.

I didn’t even realize I was put back in my FF league from last year. Saw a junk folder email today that my auto-drafted roster is 1-0.

I also had a junk folder email that my draft was a C- grade.

Dunstan

Are any of you fans of Crusader Kings? I’m a Civ guy who tried CK2 but found it kind of bewildering. Is CK 3 sufficiently different that I should give it a shot?

Dirt Giants get to 20! Granted, the 20th run came on a position player pitching, but hey, the first 19 were legit.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Where the administration is to stupid or too lazy; they are not manipulating raw data that NASA, EPA, NOAA, etc. get/ analyze, they are saying “you can’t use global warming” , or any one of a number of of terms in any of your statements. The main thing the republicans do against science is cut funding.

scotchnaut

I remember a time when all kinds of science ran willy-nilly in the streets. Everything was allowed. It wasn’t pretty.

I will always have a special place in my heart for “Rocky Balboa”. It is easily one of the best apology films I’ve seen. It makes up Rocky V, Stallone bring his acting shoes instead of mailing it in, an its even a decent film in its own right. Its like a direct sequel to Rocky I and II.

I’ll will always have a special place in my heart for Angina Jolie.

best apology films

I was unaware of this genre, but after searching for it on Pornhub there is a lot of….. films initiating sex for some discretion as an apology, usually involving a “stepsister” or “stepmother,” so it’s legit.

scotchnaut

So if you liked watching cooking videos/were aware of the whole Bon Appetit thingy that went down, you might want to left swipe past my “Sohla The Explorer Does A Cooking Vid” joke.

/ old Christopher Titus joke that is now relevant (punchline is crude and dirty, if unacceptable here, please remove)

“98% of scientists believe in Climate Change. 2% of scientists don’t. That’s means its inconclusive!”
“Alright, well based on that logic, if I’m 98% inside your girlfriend, is she cheating on you or is it inconclusive?”

LOL Oh yea

Recipe? Or do I have to wait for a yeah right feature?

BugEyedBoo

I saw it on Queer Eye (my daughter made me watch it, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it), and what the makeover target made was Mountain Dew and tequila.

Viva La Tabula Raza

That seems too easy. Will experiment.

Redshirt

It wouldn’t be the first thing written here drunk and/or hungover.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Well, first you’ll need to place a large puke bucket nearby. Anyone who would enjoy this would probably be good with “recycling” the contents of said bucket.

yeah right

There are damn few ingredients you won’t see applied during Sunday Gravy. Sriracha, avocado and Mountain Dew headline that list.
Jesus, that picture gave me the DTs.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Whether you like/ don’t like avocado, I would expect it to be a fresh side as opposed to an ingredient, I like guacamole, but like just avocado with hot sauce on it just as much.

yeah right

It’s the same with sriracha. Hell I’ve got a bottle in my fridge right now I just find it a lazy ingredient to cook with. You can do better people.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Yeah, I’m fucking lazy and love avocado, not “doing better” because I fucking like it.

Unsurprised
