Your “Oh, I Don’t Know – Let’s Say Moe” Wednesday Evening Open Thread

NFL Notes:

  • the Titans are kicking Eric Decker’s tires.
  • Brent Griffith, who spent one year with the Bills in 1990, is being charged with insurance fraud over said AFC Championship ring.
    • he had claimed it stolen, but was ratted out by his ex-wife who believes didn’t get her share.
  • Number of fucks Mike Tomlin gives about Le’Veon Bell missing practice = 0.
  • Michael Bennett wishes people would stop asking him about Richard Sherman & Russell Wilson.

Peter King, in an attempt to either contribute to, or sully, the word “journalist” has begun a column series called “Exit Interview“, where he interviews long-time beat reporters of, or team employees for, various football teams in the NFL. His first column is with & about Bob McGinn, who covered the Packers for 38 years. It reads like someone who wants to remember what it was like before becoming a shill.

I’m not sure if this McGinn quote about team media is a veiled shot at the Nugget Baron. I choose to believe so:

All these team websites are just a pox on our business. All the coverage is slanted. It’s all pro-team and the people who cover, who work for a network one way or another that is paying the league billions of dollars to broadcast games and be partners, everything they say I take with a grain of salt.

Finally, ESPN announced today that Saints superfan Jarrius Robertson will be the winner of the Jimmy V award at the ESPYs on July 12.

  • “Robertson battles biliary atresia — a chronic liver disease that affects his physical growth. He has been in and out of hospitals since receiving a liver transplant when he was 1. At one point, he was in a coma for an entire year. He received a second liver transplant on April 30.”
  • Hopefully Brett Favre can muster more enthusiasm in his applause.


Tonight’s sports:

  • 30 for 30
    • Celtics/Lakers: Best of Enemies (Part 3) – 8:00PM | ESPN
  •  MLB:
    • Rays at Jays – 7:00PM | Sportsnet
    • Yankees at Angels – 10:00PM | ESPN / TSN

Canadians get final pre-season CFL games this coming weekend. A two-game pre-season followed by an 18-game regular season? That’d never work in the NFL. FOUR PRE-SEASON GAMES ARE PRECIOUS FLOWERS!

So when the Senate hits the floor again and Mitch goes back to treating anyone across the aisle like a Jerry Richardson kitchen staff member, who will be the Democrat to get caught murmuring, “Maybe Hodgkinson had the right idea…”

None of them have the balls to even think it.

It’ll be a woman. They’re the only ones with any fucking balls in Congress.

Oh, speaking of 30 For 30 and shitty networks: there’s a 30 For 30 podcast that will begin airing original episodes on June 26. Here’s the WWL’s page, or search for it on your podcast player/app of choice.

DO NOT get your nut sack caught in this.

Unless you’re into that

Once.

theeWeeBabySeamus

So I’m watching O’s/White Sox. O’s 2B Jonathon Schoop commits an error, allowing Avisail Garcia to reach, and advance the previous baserunner, 1st to 3rd. Upon reaching 1st base safely, Garcia crosses himself, kisses his hand or fingers or wtf-ever, and points up.

So, is this like his way of thanking Jesus for making my secondbaseman suck? Bcuz if it is I’ve got even more reason to hate that guy. Well, both guys. Well, all three guys I guess (C’mon Schoop, shoulda been outta that inning now we got potential unearned runs all over the place….there’s one now in fact!!!!!)

This rant has been brought to you by vodka.

Unsurprised

To alcohol!

“We may not always agree but, as legislators, we should all be touched by this shooting because – Drmocrat or Republican — we must always remember that we share an important trait between us all here.

We are part of the privileged class and NOTHING should ever make us forget that this fraternity is more important than any piece of work on The Hill.”

“Now let’s get this healthcare bill passed so we can get back to Summer break. This isn’t supposed to be a full time gig.”

– Senate Democrats

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

You actually think that is limited to democrats?

Unsurprised

That’s the Republicans. The Democrats don’t care about that bill because it’s getting in the way of their redbaiting.

Hell, even I don’t lift the lid.

2/10…would not pet.

Shogun Marcus

My dog Zoom is officially our emergency management warden. We had sirens go off about two hours ago. He heard it, and immediately helped me get everyone in the basement, including our wheelchair bound neighbor. Then he runs all the way back up (we’re the upper) and dives under the bed to nip and slap our stubborn fox-eared asshole cat (why yes he IS named Baboo!) out so I can grab him. Then he consoles everyone while we wait it out. Best. Fucking. Dog.

Gratliff

Always wanted a doomsday prepper hound.

Shogun Marcus

I will always have a Boston Terrier in my life.

Gratliff

There’s an ongoing war in my house about what our next dog will be. I want a Boston terrier, Welsh Corgi, or English Bulldog. She says they’re all ugly because she’s a soulless husk who wants a German Shepherd or Doberman or some other Nazi dog. I figure on move-in day for the new place, I’ll just make a detour and grab a dog on the way.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I love my GS, but if you are confined in a small house or yard it would be a hassle. The pure breds have hip and behavior problems apparently. While being a bit of a socialist and desiring a strict hierarchy at the pack/family level, she is diametrically opposed to an authoritarian state.

Gratliff

I’ve had everything from a yorkie to a a pit bull/black lab mix that looked like a stunt double for the fucking demon dogs in Ghostbusters. Only medium sized one I had was a black-and-tan hound that learned how to turn things like door knobs and stove burner dials. That was an adventure. Big ones are awesome, but smaller ones are just so much easier to manage. I also like goofy dogs with some character in them, thus the desire for something with bug eyes or jowls.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Mine seems to have some huskie and is thus a fur factory and hot in the summer. The shop-vac is needed.

Gratliff

Is that mayo on a hot dog? I am mad online.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I think that’s cheese. Which is stupid.
So you can still be mad if you want.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Cheese goes great with everything; just ask Hippo.

Shogun Marcus

Or me! I can pair a cheese with just about anything.
/realizes how that reads
//still no fucks given

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Excellent; my 110 GS mix is afraid of thunder and fire crackers, needs consoling herself. However, she is better than an ADT sign in the yard and will protect the truck, even when lawyers are about.

Shogun Marcus

He’s terrified of both those things, even wears a supershirt. But he did not hesitate for a second when it got very real.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Mine isn’t quite that way, but a dog as big as she is doesn’t fit under a desk very well.
