  1. Not hard to understand why Liz got divorced.

    Her daughter is likely hoping she’s sold to pirates before coming home. “Mom I hate fucking Applebee’s!”

  2. That was quite a meltdown we had there

    I believe she had a rehearsed this story about she and her daughter eating out every Wednesday night. I bet she was going to state they ate at at whatever joint was a sponsor. “We eat at Red fucking Lobster every week!” “We just love IHOP!”

    If she hasn’t shit in three weeks how come they haven’t medivac’d her out?
  3. Shitty Ben & Skin surviving as the rest of the fucktards are fired is as fucking hilarious as when Ted Baxter survived in the Mary Tyler Moore finale. They are so fucking insipid and how they’ve had so many shows on different stations is ridiculous. They’ve never delivered even average ratings.

  4. UH has a pretty decent law school. If adams sues, I'd assign the case to a clinic group and give them class credit for their work. 

    UH taking the position that it’s H-town blue and was used in Houston in the 50’s before the AFL was in place. They are using the scheme and colors for all them sports teams not just football. And it’s a slight Pantone away from the oilers blue.

  5. I know Jerry looks like an old fool, but don’t you know there is a method to his madness? I bet he has a warehouse of Zeke jerseys from three years ago that he can sell now. 

    All his distributors dumped a million of them into Nigeria and Ghana the last time. Here comes the redo.

    His jersey in the pro shop online is back to full price though the women version is half price.

    The NFC East Champion t shirt has been reduced to $23. What idiot would wear something so stupid?

  6. They offered it to him.
    Young declined and said "suck my national championship trophy, Heisman voters...especially you Bowels."

    If only Young had gone to a decent team, or basically any coach besides Jeff fisher. He was perfect for the current game. Fucking Fisher fucked up both Steve McNair and VY. Douchenozzle.

  7. There is no explanation for this stupidity that makes sense regardless of what the spin from the GM, the befuddled owner, and the coach. It’s just a dumb allocation of cap, stupid waste of a high draft pick, and potentially teamwrecking. In the nfl if you have two QBs you have none.

    Most folks said at the end of the season that the Falcons were a good coach, solid QB, and and a pass rush away from owning the south. Morris imo has proven in previous jobs to be a strong motivator and excellent d coordinator.

    Cousins is a $180 mil if he plays his full contract, with a $100 mil guarantee. If you go the veteran qb route it eats cap. It’s a commitment to a QB that is new to the team and market, is uprooting his kids, and could have stayed in Minnesota. If you had Cousins when did you decide to draft a QB? And why? The team is built to win now not down the road; Blank has been quoted that he wants the team to win now regardless of cap hit later. He’s 81.

    So why draft Penix when you’re in the catbird seat to pick the best rusher? Maybe trade down a couple spots and get edge and a solid OT. Lots of options. Fontanot blew it with some cutesy strategy because he believes they won’t be in a low draft position down the road. That’s just dumb.

    Penix is 24. He has some issues in his game that kept him in the next lower QB tier with nix. Age is part of it for both. Penix will sign a 4 year guaranteed contract for $22m with a $13.8 mil signing bonus. So the only way to learn to be a QB is to play in games. He will be sitting on Sunday and running scout team.

    Atlanta can be a fickle city and will likely be clamoring for Penix the second he throws an INT. Cousins is pissed. It’s hard to believe you’re the guy when the team has already gone behind your back for your replacement. And Blank has been sold on it; it would be interesting to know Rich McKay’s opinion. Or what Morris really thinks.

    A terrible stupid decision. This isn’t Jordan Love. Or Steve Walsh. Or Aaron Rodgers. All very different. Not that I care as I hate the Falcons and Arthur Blank.

  8. Injury reports for fantasy purposes is the reason to watch pre shows

    You can see that online instantly without the tie in to a new cbs version of NCIS.

    I watch the show on nfl network because I like rich Eisen. His daily show is the best out there. He’s trying to g to get the falcons GM on today to question him on that stupid Penix pick.
  9. At the end of the day, there are only 1696 men every year that can call themselves active NFL players, a majority of which do not have guaranteed contracts.  In comparison, there are approximately 2400 Navy SEALs currently serving in the US Navy.  Texas has approximately 140,000 licensed police officers.  Risk isn't just mortality rate, it's also the return on the work you've invested and the likelihood of long-term success versus the chance of losing everything you've put in to making it.  There are many, many less risky ways of making a million dollars than playing in the NFL.  Playing a pro sport isn't a game to them.  Being a professional athlete or entertainer is really hard, and it's a shame more fans don't appreciate that. 

    I don’t know what you’re trying to say. To be really great at what you do takes a lot of hard work. My dad worked hard, was a great detective, and strapped on a gun to go to work. He made whatever meager pay the federal government paid him each year. I know a lot of professional musicians who have tons of records, work several nights a week, tour all over the world and in their best years made about $30k. Pro athletes. Does a AA ball player making $24k a year rate the same as LaBron? As far as guarantees, at the very least a player is generally guaranteed for the season. On second multiyear contracts the guarantee averages about half. That can be a stupid amount of money. Had Cleveland cut Watson his cap hit would have been more than their entire cap. That’s some stupidity
  10. I’m shocked at all of the positive reviews here of the Curb finale. It was the same basic concept as the Seinfeld final. The writers showed zero creativity and the episode was a rehash of the same Seinfeld stuff. Terrible finale. Second worst in history behind Game of Thrones. The final season pretty much stunk too, with the same tired Leroy fuck jokes over and over. 

    Agree. The season was like fuckin in mud.
  11. I've read it, I just take issue with your focus on the money and comparing these men to average Americans.  The players earned the money, and truth be told, it isn't enough compared to the risks they take.  Getting fleeced out of the money they actually get to keep is just the tip of the iceberg of the dirtiness of professional sports.  

    The risks they take? To play football? High school cheerleaders have a higher rate of serious injury. We have soldiers in Syria taking incoming fire every fucking day. They don’t get a couple mill. Cops don’t start at that salary. Or electricians. Fishermen. Lots more dangerous jobs. Oh they also got the opportunity to get a free college degree in there.

    The players get almost half the top line revenue the league generates. If my math is right that’s $255mil per team so $8.16 billion goes to the players. If you are on a practice squad you make $385k if you stick 18 weeks. If the players don’t like the disparity between players they should deal with that with the NFLPA.

    They are able to be full time athletes. They can learn business, further their education, get into coaching, scouting, front office in the offseason. It’s not like Bob Lilly making $10k a year, or Bart Starr getting up on Monday after getting drilled in the dirt by deacon jones and having to manage his insurance business in Alabama.

    Of course if the are stupid with money and behavior, say Rashee Rice, you’ll be broke forever. That Lambo owner is wanting his money.

  12. Chris needs to get gone too

    If you’re talking about Chris Berman. He sucked in the 70’s when he was on the unknown ESPN. He has sucked balls for 40 fucking years. He has not one single good take. And those fucking Nick names. Put a grenade in his mouth.

  13. Yep, he was pathetic in NE. To be expected, he had a lot of mileage at Ohio State and early in his career here. The mileage took a toll like it does any RB. His burst is no longer, he runs like he is in mud. Brings zero value as he is now entering his 9th season. 
    Front office clown show never disappoints. But I'm sure they know so many dorky diehards love them some Zeke and he still holds a place in their hearts. Not sure, why as we never did this in his era. Had a great first few years and then it's been slowly downhill since and then a rapid dropoff. Those diehards will go out and buy some more Zeke gear. It also gets them in the news as they were non-existent in free agency.

    In today’s NFL the general rule is the RB wall is 27 years old, and 1500 touches. Zeke will be 29 during the season (and he came in young) and has 2420 touches. It’s amazing he can still walk. Terrible signing. I wouldn’t give any RB a second contract. Get a good one cheap early and run the to death, replace, repeat. I wouldn’t give Jim Brown a second contract these days.
