The Original Harvest ‘Fest!
New grill assembled. Gonna be a seafood night. Scallops wrapped in bacon and marinated shrimp skewers, accompanied with grilled veggies.
Round 1 of frozen margaritas in the tank. Round 2 to follow. Sativa afterwards.

that’s a nice one
It’s a Weber. My old one burned a hole through the bottom of the grill.
Or was it corrosion?
Don’t care. After many years, it was toast.
I keep meaning to check out one of those notebook grills. I like the concept, but are they shit? I don’t know. They sound clanky as hell in the videos I’ve watched.

I don’t know if you guys (kon and buck) like the country group Shenandoah. The Mrs is happy we scored some free tickets to the show. I’m game to go see them. They got a couple of good songs.
had no idea they were still around . It was years and years ago when they had some popularity .
Yeah the Indian Casino down the road I-40 sports a lot of these old time bands. Good way to waste a few hours with the Mrs.
Nearest one here is a couple hours north in Oklahoma. Haven’t been yet.
I’ve been to the one in Cherokee NC a few times
They had Texas hold ’em here, but they change the table to 3 card poker. Sucks. So now I usually sit at the bar or play machines.
Sweated through all my clothes, but now that the mowing is done…nothing to do but chill out the rest of this day and tomorrow.
Mowing grass on Sunday ? What a doosh .
Get off your butt and get it done.
j/k. cut mine yesterday
From what I understand, I’d have to jump through city hoops to get grass in my yard– which isn’t large. I have zeroscape (spelling is off).
why is that ?
Water restrictions. It’s dry out here. Like ten percent or less of your yard can be grass. Also, watering times are highly restricted by the city. I think scamp would know a lot more about it. I’ve just never educated myself on the topic. I’ve got a few trees, roses and other bushes that are climate friendly.
I gotcha .
Grass lawns are stupid. At least, that they have to be maintained is stupid. Just let the shit grow. What’s the big deal? This shit some kind of contest? When you die, do people show up at your funeral for the lawn you kept?
I don’t get it.
That said…I’ve got a nice, healthy lawn.
I mow taller than most around me do. Shit’s lush.
personal preference. i like a decent yard with grass
But is it? Or, is it what we were born into?
I mean…these things have to comply with code in a lot of areas. That’s nuts.
IDK , i don’t have to comply to anything . i prefer grass over weeds.
What if the weeds were uniform? Nice to look at. Grow low. And best of all…didn’t need near as much work?
I like a nice yard with a lawn too…I just don’t got it. I like women with large tits too…I just don’t got it. smokey makes due.

Two thumbs up. Nice.
well I got news for you, they don’t show up for how clean your garage is either
Slob
Anal retentive…..nvrmnd
Taskmaster
When i was growing up , you didnt cut grass on Sunday . People do it all the time now .
They didnt sell alcohol on Sunday either .
Beer, ciders, hard sodas and wine yes. Hard liquor, nuh uh.
No alcohol period . That’s the way it was . Blue laws
Oh, back in the day? Yea.
Always had to buy more on Saturday so you could drink on Sunday.
The thing is, we would finish Sunday’s beer on Sat night and be hangin’ to bad to go to Mass on Sunday. Vicious cycle.
And then you go to church and they’re serving wine.
wtf
Yeah . Even the ABC stores are open on Sunday now
Lots of people work Saturdays now.

BBQ at daughter’s home tomorrow. No cleaning up for us this year. I’m starting to like having children old enough to hold functions at their homes. Eat, drink, bye.
Another scorcher today. Gonna be this kind of weekend. Time to buy a new grill too.

Redskins 90 player roster rankings. Interesting read.
https://riggosrag.com/2018/05/27/washington-redskins-90-rankings/
Good read. I had forgotten that we signed Timon Parris as a UDFA. He was projected as a 5-6th rounder. “Parris is a developmental prospect with medical concerns that could cause him to drop some, but he has the potential to move inside and become a solid backup guard with eventual starter ability if healthy.”

That was a great play. RIP Rick.
These high morning temps are going to force me to switch to ice coffee
Lots of heat exhaustion calls in Austin yesterday. 100 degree temps snuck up on us.

Can’t tell from the pic, that’s charcoal and chunks of oak.
That’s the highest temp I scored with the camera. Most of the hottest readings hit the thermometer’s 948°F max. Outside the peak temps, most ranged in the low 400 to high 600s.
looks like a peaceful night .

Is that a copy of Dissent, you’re reading? Ah…..you’ll taste like mocha lattes and cotton candy.
Got to be some kind ‘oh shit!’ moment from hell
it is no surprise to me that sears is going out of business, crappy products, crappier service, everything is plastic, metal nut in a plastic shell, that needs to be under pressure to hold a miter saw in place, first time that’s under pressure that’s just gonna slide ride out…
garbage.
RIP 1996
If you want a good miter saw…

Hitachi?
Yeah
yup, agreed.
they make good saws
I own this one. Belt drive, very smooth
It’s all cast aluminum, roller bearings on the twin bars.
Jane Fonda did Hitachi advertisements. We had a Hitachi VHS back in like 1984 and when my dad realized Hanoi Jane endorsed Hitachi he took it to the garage and destroyed it with a hammer.
True story.
Jane Fonda though……what a face.

Just had lunch with my second cousin(my father’s cousin), who turned 100 a week ago, served in the Battle of the Bulge. He will be “marching” in a Jeep on Monday in the Memorial Day Parade. Last year only 3 from his unit, the 99th, returned. He may be the last one surviving this year.
On behalf of the Hamsters, We thank him for his service.
His unit was called the “Newbies”, I think. They were raw recruits, put into an area that was thought to be safe. Then the Germans attacked right there…everyone was sure they would collapse…but they fought, and held!
She comes home from the hairdresser….
Me: It’s shorter
Her: She trimmed it to keep the length
Me: Huh?
Her: Just a trim to keep the length
Me: She cut your hair…to keep it longer?
Her: Yea
Me: (looking dumbfounded)(like D_C but my face)
Me: You were sold. Hair grows from the root
Her: That’s not how it works
Me: That’s exactly how it works
Her: Yea well
Me: Long draw from my beer
Getting rid of split ends, c’mon man.
To keep the length? Come on man.
Also…she doens’t have split ends

Happy memorial day weekend, peeps! I’m 3/4 the way through a bottle of Sangria, fluffy green sativa, WOOT!
Pushing 100 degrees in Austin. Way too early for that. Whipped up frozen margaritas, swirled with sangria and a Grand Marnier float. Sativa to follow.
Happy 3/4s of the way through a bottle of sangria!
7/8….as it were
That could really mean you’re only halfway through it.
– D_C
That was an hour ago. Bout time for Sangria #2
When you think about it….sweat is a helluva adaption.
But then we went and fucked up the mechanism by putting clothes on our skin.
New synthetic fabrics are crazy breathable.
Yea yea. Performance fabrics.
They make that stuff for sheets and underwear.
Shirts, long johns, socks, hats, jackets, shorts. I can wear half as much weight in clothes than 10 years ago.
clothing started out more a defense thing
So, kinda lean, really good taste. Had mine mostly rare, so I could taste it. Really pleasant taste, satisfied for the price. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/22e973642b73702596f4420570c079c6190baa8afa167310ef84d9b36859f446.jpg
Passes the grass fed eye test
Right, the trade-off. I’ll do it again.
how many sangria are you at now?
1.5 liters
Yeah, they look real good
99°F here.
Get some!
Is it dry? What’s the humidity?
30%
Oh boohoo, that’s not hot, straight gravy.
Oh whatever. It’s hot enough to have to drink plenty of beer in order to stay hydrated.
I’ve worked 12 hours shifts out in the Southwest, drink water and you’re straight, no sweat, love it.
That shit is a myth. Hot means sweat. RH don’t got nothing to do with the body’s response to needing to cool the fuck down.
The sweat evaporates off of you, you don’t even realize it. Trust me, I was wearing a Carhartt 10oz cotton duck shirt, with pearl snaps, Carhartt 10oz cotton duck pants, boots, bandana, welding cap, hood. Comfortable, as long as I remembered to drink water.
Only time it got bad, 450° preheat with ceramic blankets, 9 chrome. But that’s always shitty.

Salary cap is updated.
Phenomenal job, Mr. Steve…pour yourself a double, to celebrate.
^ Scot?
Today…..workin’ on it
Don’t punch any walls and keep a leash on your sidepiece.
I won’t be adding projects.
dibs on that double
Lol
a double Sunkist would cause Steve to burp too much
Lol
Did you buy a charcoal grill yet?
You don’t need anything high end or expensive. Something basic, sub $100, will do ya just fine. Even a $30 Weber Smokey Joe.
FYI…grills come on boxes. Some assembly required.
Let me tell you something…ain’t nothing like sweet corn in the summer time…with some crabs!!!!! Lawd!
K’on…thanks for the tip bro’…
I lathered those ribs up with that Honey Jack and brown suga’

Flying to Dublin tomorrow night. Gonna cruise to Iceland, the Shetland Islands and southern Ireland for 11 days. Kill some time until training camp.
Sounds nice. Have a good time. oh, and have a Giness for me.
will do
And in Iceland, have some hákarl for me!
Wow…that’s looking like a great cruise. Enjoy the time.
what’s hakarl?
lol
I’m not tell’n
I’ve heard they serve something made from fish heads.
I’ll just say…it’s shark.
There’s only 2 reasons why you would eat hákarl
1. On a dare
2. Desperation
Shhhhhhh…
not going there! Ha ha ha
Enjoy!
Must be payday!
don’t have paydays when you work for yourself. 🙁
What do you do again?
prepare taxes
Well, here goes nothing…just bought a Australian whole ribeye, grass fed. Trying out this Cargill/Tey’s thing.
That’s a long way to go for a good steak
Lol, fair price, IMO 92.20 for a 14 lb ribeye. I’ll post a picture of it.
Well, that’s a pretty good price for a ribeye. Let us know if it melts in your mouth
10-4
Beef from Australia. I don’t get it. I just don’t get it.
We have it here too at some grocers. And I’m like…’This is Texas. Why is beef being imported from Australia?’
It’s not like it’s Wagyu or Kobe.
Also, Cargil…that’s means it’s from some giant fucking cow plant somewhere.
That said….
fire makes meat taste good. Doesn’t matter where it’s from.
Agreed there, kOn. I’m not willing to pay the extra for Wagyu or Kobe either. Give me a good ribeye, sizzlin’ with a little butter on it…mmm, heaven.
Oh. I’m happy to divvy up for the Wagyu. The flavor, the feel, the sensory experience…it’s exceptional.
It’s from Tey’s, has a Rockhampton inspection stamp. We’ll see.
They sell the Mexican beef too, idk about that, though. I bought one of those once and even though they called it choice, lean as fuck. IlI’ let you know.
Supposed to be “grass fed-grass finished… guaranteed” we’ll see
there are two reasons why beef is imported
1) Australia/NZ … usually organic grass fed, we don’t do much of that here
2) Some of the Latin crowd, right or wrong, swears by Argentinian beef
Mexico….. anything goes
Gonna grill some corn with husk still on with that puppy?
mrs. fredie has been bugging me to cook those…I don’t like the starchy taste of the kernels. But I love steamed sweet corn.
“knee high, by the fourth of July”
Just back from a quick trip down under. I don’t see anything that says you’re not cooking up a quality cut of meat.
I hope so, this grocer just started selling it a few months ago, I’ve been kinda watching them.
Anyone with kids graduating this year, Congratulations.

The price of those things though.
No way.
Not to mention the pastel paint…….
It goes with his shirt.
Wait…is that NPI?
Reminds me of some guy I raped in prison, never bothered with a name.
Dude. Come on now. Ya gotta get consent.
I remember my homie and I having a conversation with a dude about that. He was pissed off cause we told him he was homosexual (he messed with sissies), he said he wasn’t because he slept with women on the street, said it “didn’t count”. I told him he was bisexual, then, he still maintained that he was straight.
I fwiw, you may overlook fat women out in the free world, but you’re happy to see that wide ass switch’n by when you’re locked up. Them heffers would put on some perfume and flirt like a motherfucker, acting like they were Cristy Brinkley or something…laugh if you want to, put yourself there and see if you ain’t watchin’ it roll, lol
I’d be Shallow Hal’n all them whales.
No business working in DOC, but I wasn’t complaining.
They worked there? Showing up in prison with perfume and sashaying in front of the population?
Hell yea. Pass them a note. Let’m know what’s up. So what if they lose their job. Not your problem. Not unless banging a consenting adult adds time.
There was a story last year, some inmate that was banging a chick in a car out in the parking lot of the prison.
That shit was funny.
Probably a trustee, Warden’s boy…washing guard’s cars…..you know, slavery
It can, and they can get fired, and charged. Saw it happen more than once.
Yea. That’s bi for sure. If dude gets off banging another dude…I mean.
I mean…..do what you want, but don’t fool yourself.
Wouldn’t be caught dead looking how I look right now. Except, to run out to Wallyworld for chips and cheese.
Have fun, I went yesterday, crowded…… almost lost it…….gnats ass away from bustin’ out full Incognito on them.
fat woman in a scooter with nasty feet huh ?
A herd of those, along with every dirty little hippie Tarantino wannabe, out in deerfoams and a fucking bathrobe, tryna buy some chips ‘n dip.
i hate that fucking place but sometimes it’s a necessary evil, like choosing a presidential candidate .
All I needed was some dogfood.
Woman on a scooter on one side of the aisle, parked next to her and blocking the way, her husband…in a scooter.
Looked at me like wtf when I said, ‘Yo’
Nothing wrong with either of them either. Just fucking lazy.
Wasn’t too bad. Can get in and out quick at their Neighborhood Market stores.
It’s great having one just a couple minutes away. They’re a convenience store on steroids…with Walmart prices.
Today is the 25th Anniversary of the release of the movie “Menace II Society”.
Remember,
Lump charcoal burns hotter
Don’t buy bags that look like they fell off the truck and got run over by the stock boy on a forklift, high amount of fines in those.
You are correct….gotta monitor my heat…but Lump is MUCH cleaner.
Yeah, briquettes get extra shit in the manufacturing process.

IR thermometers used to be spendy. Anymore you grab one at your local hardware store for $15-$20
I use my pretty much everywhere. In the kitchen, on the grill, under the hood, up in the attic, HVAC, out in the yard…point at myself when I’m hotter than two huskies fucking just see how damn hot I’m running when I’m outside. Or that one time I took it in the bedroom.
what was the dudes temperature ?
This is me doing the thing were I chuckle…but ignore you
GAF
Someone who was gay for the stay…might not want to go there.
Just sayn
You ain’t sayin’ shit, I hear ya talkin’ though, that’s about it.
Nice
The cheap ones can be inaccurate, fwiw

I need Ice!
Hooray BEER
You also need better beer!
I’m not a BIG beer drinker. That’s for company…The Red Stripes are for me. 🙂
That JD Honey is great for glazing meats. If you’ve got any brown sugar (no, not Mrs Rick) and a soda…you’ve got the makings of a great glaze.
LOL…
Oh yeah…what kind of soda?
Cola.
Nothing with fake shit. Straight Coke or Pepsi is fine.
Thanks
Arm and Hammer, lol

3. Better grilling device; No GAS ever!

Players are already going down around the league with season-ending injuries. Every OTA that goes by without any Redskins getting injured I breath a sigh of relief and knock on wood. Some DE for the Rams just tore his ACL and is out for the year.
That said, you can’t tiptoe through the tulips during OTA’s, camp and pre-season just hoping to make it safely to week 1. The only way a player can prepare to play football, is to play football.
I am tired of the Redskins bubble-wrapping players in the pre-season. You gotta play to be ready to play in week 1 against the ‘Cards.
Tough calls, to be sure. But I’d rather lose a dude or two in the pre-season than get to the regular season, not be ready to play and see guys dropping like flies. And I feel like that’s what’s been happening with this team for a couple years now.
I was just thinking that this is the time of year when there is no good news only bad news.
I guess no news is good news.

Looking forward to getting to the shore this year. Been really focused and while I have always been an ‘in-shape’ dude, I am coming into this summer leaner than I’ve been in about 15 years. Plus a have a friend who has a pool on the roof of his condo and the reports are there are always babes up there.

Man electrocuted by electric lawnmower
A man was electrocuted after cutting through the cable of his electric lawn mower.
The 33-year-old man died as he cut the grass at his home in Warwick, on Saturday. A Warwickshire Police spokesman said officers and an ambulance crew were called to the property at 6.30pm where they found the victim.
“It is believed he was using a Flymo mower and cut through the cable,” he said. “Police are treating it as a tragic accident and are not treating the death as suspicious.”

And that’s not a racial slur.. My mother said that to me every night. 🙂
Rick – By racism, I mean using your power to deny another person of another race an opportunity to earn a living.
C’mon Rick, that isn’t racism. Racism is making decisions based on the race of another…”prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior.”
These decisions have nothing to do with Reid’s race. Clearly the various decisions made by franchises are based on the economics of hiring an individual who is taking actions (kneeling for anthem) that are going to affect the bottom line of their franchise. It has nothing to do with his race.
You don’t understand how racism works.
maybe not, but I understand the meaning of racism
Owners using their power to deny Kaepernick and Reid an opportunity based on their race. You’ll say it’s not because of their race, but you assume that everyone judges everyone the same. You’re lying to yourself if you think those that hate Kap, hate him JUST because of his politics.
Nothing to do with their race
Everything to do with their kneeling
Don’t confuse the two
There was a team who was willing to give him a job if he agreed to protest on his own time and he declined.
So who is keeping him out of the league again?
Mic friggin drop
Thanks…I figured you’d finally get it.
I’m not sure you get it
You make baseless claims then change the subject
…then why would Kaepernick get hate mail calling him N****R, “monkey” and other slurs….c’mon bro…what other excuses you got?
Pick a lane
You said this was the owners denying him employment bas3d on race
Now you’re talking about hate mail?
Can you back up your main point please
Pay attention…I said that to make a point that he’s not out of the league JUST because of his stance. Race is a factor….if not, why would he get racial slurs.
did he get those hate mail comments from one of the NFL owners? Of course not. So what if he gets hate mail. That is totally unrelated to him being hired.
The owners sent Kap that hate mail?
Who is conflating issues here?
Kap is not in the NFL because he’s a political pariah… not because he’s black.
These decisions have nothing to due with race. They are related to a political stand taken by an individual, the effects of which will be financial.
Also, relating to Kap, I think he is still asking for starter money, when he is not going to be a starter. I don’t know what Reid is asking. His case is much more related to his political stance. Still not a race issue.
Of course it’s not…you refuse to believe that people would freeze them out because of their race. you’re nieve
I’m not naive. But this is clearly a financial decision made by teams. Who is being naive here?
So are you saying that only a black person can understand how racism works?
Absolutely not. But I AM saying that most guys on this blog (who are white) give these owners WAY too much benefit of the doubt. NOTHING is racism unless THEY say so…not because I say so or another person of color says so.
How many bloggers have you met? I haven’t met a single one. So I don’t know who is black and who is not. Yes, my “pic” looks like Fred Flintstone, only because Austin made it that way. But I do know what racism is…it’s making decisions based on the race of someone else. In my experience, most bloggers are not racist. To me, this hiring decision is purely a financial decision. If it had been a white guy kneeling for the anthem, the decision would have been the same. I understand that the object of the kneeling was about police shooting black men. That still does not make it a race issue.
I respect your opinion.
He is.

Damn right.
Guice went #59 ’cause I needed to get my 3rd round pick back, He knows I didn’t mean no harm, don’t hate the playa, hate the game – D Willums
As far as Guice slipping , the strange reports that came out of Philly about his conduct when they met with him are responsible for that .
Wasn’t there also something about him being really “unprepared” for life on his own? Also heard that about what’s-his-name from NYG … Apple.
I was thinking about that yesterday when one of Peyton Manning’s coaches his rookie year said that he didn’t know how to use a can opener, and his mom sent him pictures of matching outfits because he didn’t know how to pick out his own clothes. Didn’t seem to hurt him.
Guice is 20 dipshit.
Peyton Manning was a lock for the hall of fame before he was ever drafted . You think somebody is gonna pass on a franchise QB due to a can opener ?
Yeah, so was Ryan Leaf….
NOILRMOT DC
and he couldnt use a can opener either ? What’s your point ? He was a highly touted QB . You are grasping at BS
My point is that there’s no such thing as “a lock for the hall of fame before he was ever drafted.” That’s a unicorn fart.
He was a franchise QB and everybody knew it, and for good reasons . Reasons that outweighed his inability to match his clothes .
There was legitimate debate about whether he or Ryan Leaf was going to go No. 1.
My point is that white players get more slack for silly sh*t like this than black players do. Especially if they come from a “good family,” i.e., money.
And while we’re having fun, I think Rosen would have been drafted higher if he wasn’t Jewish.
I don’t think being Jewish had anything to do with it and i didnt even know that until now . There had been talk about his commitment and personality for awhile .
Right, those are the Jewish dog whistles. Too smart … maybe has other interests … he could do other things, etc.
His flippant attitude is cause for at least mild concern .
It struck me that the things he was being criticized for would be considered assets in most QBs: he really wants to understand the theory behind the offense — know it inside and out — not just be told, “do x, y, or z and don’t ask questions.” In fact that’s what Peyton’s famous for.
Thats not what he was criticized for . You couldnt make less sense if you tried too
Yes, that was one of the things he was criticized for. Believe it or not, you don’t know everything.
What “flippant” attitude?
Look him up and read it for yourself . I get it , Rosen is Jewish so he is a victim and slid down in the draft . His family are millionaires by the way .
more slack ? All the drunk drivers , weed smokers , woman beaters , that have played in the league ? The one white guy who was a woman beater never played again .
Ben Roethlisberger ring any bells?
Sure . he is with the rapists category that i left out . I don’t think he was a woman beater . Several accused rapists kept playing . Some were black.
also Eli Apple has been a fuck up in NY .
Hopefully Guice won’t be in DC.
I haven’t seen anybody suggesting he would be . Not since we drafted him.
Keep in mind they said he was late and got in a screaming match during his interview .Guice also claimed they asked him questions about his sexuality and his momma , that they said never happened . This is not normal shit . It’s going to raise eyebrows .

Okay…
Can you explain why Baker Mayfield went #1 overall in the draft after being arrested on video less than a year ago, but Derrius Guice went #59 overall with no arrest record, charges, etc.?
Yea… QB is a way higher rated position than RB.
dude ..c’mon . You done had a few drinks .
Rick are you suggesting race played a part in where these two young players were drafted?
If so, man, I feel terrible that your brain works that way.
I am being serious.
oh oh. When NPI is serious, it’s an omen that the Nats will lose.
Max Scherzer on the bump tonight. He’s must-watch TV this year. No way he’s losing.
He’s NPI proof!
Barkley went number two overall , so there’s that .
I personally don’t really believe in Mayfield, but superstar talent trumps everything. Owners would sign a murderer who has pink and green stripes if he’s a franchise QB.
I know right?
-Ray Lewis
…and yet you don’t think they would collude to keep some afro wearing black man out of the NFL.
Rick, where did you go to Happy Hour today?
Happy Hour? He went to Sad Hour.
You are suggesting they all got together and came to this conclusion . Is it not possible each owner has made his own decision for his team ?
They ain’t about losing money for no damn body . That’s how they got rich
That’s the heart of the issue. Many people and so-called experts on TV and the radio fail to understand what you just said.
If that would have happened we would know about it by now .
I mean, some of these owners are democrats and liberals and don’t disagree with Kaepernick, but they aren’t about to let that get in the way of the bottom line. I wouldn’t either.
I’m not going to have the QB of my team wearing cop/pig socks for all the world to see on social media . That in itself is enough right there .
I’m saying there’s no evidence of collusion, and the simplest and most obvious reason as to why Kaepernick isn’t on a team is probably right.
The reason Kaep was out of the NFL was because….well….of Kaep.
HE OPTED OUT OF HIS OWN CONTRACT.
HE IS A SELF-RACIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For any/every NFL player kneeling during the National Anthem, there should be a wounded vet positioned right next to them….

Oh…and Steve….BTW…my Grandfather is a twice decorated Colonel and war hero. A black colonel in the 60’s was rare. He court martialed a white woman that he cought in the bed with another woman while on active duty. He never got his stars.

He did his JOB.
But never got what he was due.

Economics is everything. By far the most important thing.
I will say this… there are groups of people that fear those who are not like them. There were no black men in the Georgia county i transferred to in high school. I was a “Yankee” so I was the target. I would never claim to know personally what racism is like, or what effects it has on people… but I DO know that hatred and fear of those that aren’t like you exist… in all areas of the world… and it isn’t relegated to the black community only.
Another anecdote… Blacks and Mexicans in Compton hate each other… HATE each other.
You know some of my family’s military history. I’m happy to hear you have one, too (you’ve told me about him before). I fail to see what this has to do with the national anthem policy.
It’s all race related Steve.

The owners/employers of the players have told their employee players to stand for the national anthem because that’s how the owner want their product presented to their customers. Exactly why is that so terrible?
________________________________________________________________________________
Not terrible at all. But here’s the difference Counselor….make a policy. Ban it. Make it clear what the expectation is. Collectively bargain it. But if they’ve violated no written policy, then you can DISLIKE it all you want. If you keep em’ out, it’s collusion.

It’s not in the CBA. The league can enact these types of rules, and they do similar things all the time. And they have made a policy – stand for the national anthem, or stay in the locker room. A bit awkward, but that’s the policy, and now every ESPN radio knowitall thinks it’s the worst thing ever.

I am not a slave, but if you think remnants of slavery are gone, you’re dreaming.
If you think the remnants of slavery include a mixed race man making millions of dollars and then shitting it away because he was butt hurt over being benched…. THEN making it about race when he looked like an ungrateful tool then you are a fool.
To be clear Rick… I don’t think you are a fool. I just think that you are ruled by emotion and sometimes emotion is the enemy of logic.
Even though that war essentially started because of the slave states’ disagreement with the Federal Government’s prohibition of slavery.
So, are they really clowns to you?
Rick you equate lots of shit to racism and man, it gets really old.
I can think of 15-20 ways players could more effectively improve the situation better than just kneeling
but of course they would have to invest time, effort, outreach, etc.
Exactly.
I would NEVER kneel at the national anthem, and I 100 percent agree with this post. My beef is that you ain’t gone strongarm me into submission.

The country was originally founded on the idea that Americans wanted to be free of the tyranny of the British crown.
________________________________________________________________________
Steve…the infrastructure of this country was built on the backs of slave labor for over 200 years. Africans in this country as slaves were CHATTEL..labeled as 3/5 of a person. So what YOU say is what YOUR America was founded on. That’s not what my America was founded on, yet I still love this country.
So don’t give me this BULL about American ideals.
Your America…
You were never a slave Rick… no matter how hard you try to portray yourself as one
Never said I was…but if you’d bother to open your mind and read a book for a change you’d know that it still permeates this country.
Rick, I lived 15 years in Georgia… in a county that up until the 80’s had a sign posted above the county sign that said “don’t let the sun set on your black ass.”
Spare me what you supposedly think I do or do not know.
…then act like it…that sign is probably gone, but do you think the attitudes are?
I feel sorry for you. I like you Rick… but your outlook is one of victimhood… and that’s sad.
What I said is the exact truth. That’s why the country was founded.
Now, building it into what it is today is the result of alot of things and alot of people, including the tragedy of slavery.
infrastructure of this country built by slaves?
highways?
bridges?
electrical transmission systems?
network systems?
skyscrapers?
stadiums?
Slaves were primarily used in labor intensive agricultural settings
I’ll give you railroads, but even then what we have today was not built by slaves
Railroads and Chinamen
And that wasn’t my point anyway. My point was that the country was founded on the idea that the American colonists wanted to be free of perceived British tyranny. That’s a different question than one about what has made this country into what it is today, both good and bad.
…and the original whities came here to practice a religion that was being persecuted
…and as criminals to escape Britain or were sentenced to be here

….all CLEARLY better than Colin Kaepernick
CRICKETS!!!!!!
Probably not….so what? None of these guys are a huge nuisance, and none of them will make 50% of the customers mad.
The fact that Eric Reid and Colin Kapernick are not in the NFL is a sin and a shame. The is a MAJOR racial element to it and you know it (or you don’t).
How the F can you justify Eric Reid not being on a roster. The rich, white owners have colluded him out….a 26 year old safey. What’s your excuse? What reason are ya’ll gone spew to justify the blatant racism here. By racism, I mean using your power to deny another person of another race an opportunity to earn a living.
Colin Kapernick is a burden of a show who’s skill are not worth.
I haven’t even given Eric Reid a second thought so I can’t speak on that
Of course you can’t speak on it because you can’t think of a good excuse.
Eric Reid is nuisance, too, just less of one than Kaepernick. When Reid allegedly said that he couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t stop kneeling when asked by the Bengals, that clearly ended his chances.
The owners have gone about fixing it in about a stupid a way as possible, but they don’t want kneelers. It’s bad for business.
…and I agree with you, so they collude to keep those players out of the league. C’mon man. You’re smart, aren’t you?
You aren’t getting what collusion is. Collusion means, in this case, that owners all got together and reached an agreement to keep one or both of these two players out of the NFL. You may want that to be true, but thusfar there isn’t any evidence of that.
I know nothing about Eric Reid… simple as that.
I don’t fixate on race issues… that’s your job.
There are none in your eyes.
That’s not true Rick. I’ve MANY times come out on your side when police have been proven in court to have committed a crime. I just don’t jump to conclusions until the facts are in.
You love to play the victim… it’s really sad.
The principal element of collusion is an agreement between parties. There’s no evidence to suggest anything but that the teams have each concluded that Collin Kaepernick isn’t worth the massive about of negative attention that he’d bring. That isn’t collusion. Collusion is when a group of owners get together and mutually decide to do something that is against the law. Thusfar, there hasn’t been a single shred of evidence brought to public light that suggests that happen. Alot of fans and media just don’t know or care what collusion really is. A whole bunch of depositions are being taken, so we’ll see if any real evidence comes of it. If there’s real collusion, then the owners would be in the wrong.
What do your eyes tell you Steve…put the law book down for a minute. We know you’re a lawyer. What do your eyes tell you?
As I’ve said before, you can’t evaluate a formal grievance being arbitrated with “your eyes”. It’s a legal question, only.
As far as what I think happened? I think Collin Kaepernick pissed off half the country and the owners see that he’s a lightning rod don’t want to bother with him because he’s not worth it. If Aaron Rodgers, Cam Newton, or Tom Brady did the same thing, the owners would figure out how to look past it, because those guys are superstars. Kaepernick isn’t and doesn’t bring that to a team. Same thing with Reid, only he’s a better player than Kaepernick and doesn’t come with the same level of outrage, but it’s the exact same thing. Teams don’t want players who are going to become national lightning rods, and I totally understand why. There are lots of backup QBs and lots of safeties out there.
What’s more likely: what I just said, or a bunch of billionaire owners getting together in a cigar smoke-filled room conspiring to keep one guy out of the NFL?
Me and my cub were doing errands today. Saw two homeless men throwing blows at each other about 10 feet away from the passenger window of my vehicle. Really felt sorry for those guys…life is tough enough for them. Losing a tooth or breaking a leg would really be a serious problem for them.
cops will tell you not to give them money . They work in shifts and pool their money together for booze or drugs . I recently saw one at an intersection with his sign and he was on a cell phone .
I feel sorry for them and the situation they are in, but I draw the line at giving them money. I’ve seen men risking their lives by willing to work for just dollars a day for their families. You couldn’t get close personally to these men because you didn’t know if you’d see them the next day.
Working is a whole different thing . I am not talking about people who work .
I know what you meant. My point was, I don’t give money to them because I know they pool their monies together for booze and such.
Well if the money is going for the right reasons , I understand . I’m only talking about what i have personally heard cops say .
I give them money when I have cash… it’s not my place to wonder what they do with it. If you help you help with no strings attached. Some genuinely need it. It’s not place to judge which may or may not need it.
I get that. My brother is the same way.
One of the pastors I volunteer with at the Union Rescue Mission will walk around down town and talk to homeless people. He gives them his card and invites them to come to the mission for a meal and a shower. If they ask him for money he gives them some… no questions asked.
I would rather donate to an organization such as that then hand strangers my money , but i don’t fault anybody for doing so . Wife’s cousin who was more like a sister was a cop in Newport News. She was familiar with what they were doing in that area . She said give them food , but not money .
I only make the statement as an illustration… not some sort of condemnation of what you should or shouldn’t do with your own money
No , i didnt take it as that .
I give them some cash sometimes if they look like they are truly down on their luck. Some of them look way too well dressed to actually be needy, so I don’t. I’ve also offered to buy sandwiches a couple times and been turned down.
I bought a guy some KFC once… he turned it down. Mumbled something about people like to poison the food.

I strongly believe that the players need to get over themselves about the flag protests. Just toe the line and do what your employer demands. Simple.
___________________________________________
…like good lil’ “boys” right? SMH
blah blah. It takes a man to do what an employer expects.
Do your job and take your bullshit home. I’m sure a Mcdonald’s manager would say the same thing to an employee.
Of course they would, and if you didn’t they’d just fire you. I’m not sure when NFL players decided to believe that a football game is their personal platform for expression.
I’m sorry, but I just don’t get what’s so terrible here. The employers of the players have asked them to stand for the national anthem during their TV show. How tragic. The NBA has a harsher rule and somehow it’s okay and nobody complains about how the poor abused NBA players are having their rights violated via the NBA’s rule.
In no other world but one that pits obnoxious billionaires against spoiled millionaires would the national anthem be a problem.
Just think for a moment about what the players are complaining about: this isn’t a political cause or something crazy. This is the national anthem.
So yeah, these players need to do what their bosses tell them to do, like the rest of us.
You are gonna get all the extreme over the top rhetoric if you oppose it . Such as the “plantation ” references , which is absurd.
And the truly ironic part is that I believe that this all started when Collin Kaepernick turned what amounted to a fit of pouting caught on camera into a cause.
Which is something that NPI apparently made up from whole cloth.
He’s the first person I saw raise the issue, and I think he’s right.
He’s dead on… this is EXACTLY what happened.
Because that’s what you want to believe, despite there being no basis for it whatsoever.
The facts are that Kaep had been talking about the issue a lot before the protests started.
“Kaepernick’s social media posts flared with urgent intensity, though, when black men were killed by the police on back-to-back days in early July 2016.
“This is what lynchings look like in 2016!” Kaepernick wrote on Instagram and Twitter when video of Alton Sterling’s death became public. “Another murder in the streets because the color of a man’s skin, at the hands of the people who they say will protect us. When will they be held accountable? Or did he fear for his life as he executed this man?”
A day later, Kaepernick posted video of Philando Castile dying in the driver’s seat of his car after being shot by an officer, taken by a woman recording the aftermath from the passenger seat.
“We are under attack!” Kaepernick wrote. “It’s clear as day! Less than 24 hrs later another body in the street!”
Another cut and paste job… probably straight from CNN
There’s also no basis to think that Collin Kaepernick is anything but full of crap. He’s a hypocrite of the highest order.
I see no reason to believe he isn’t sincere.
He’s 100% right.
Not always about race rick
There are some white guys in the nfl too
This is.
No it isn’t… it’s only about race when you see everything through the lens of race.
This country was founded on it and built on it….deny all you want. Do you know your history?
The country was originally founded because Americans wanted to be free of the tyranny of the British crown.
Do you?
Clearly you don’t
Don’t go there homie…you’ll lose.
Rick… you’re a race baiter. You aren’t intelligent enough, nor do you know what you are talking about enough to have me “lose.” You are ruled by emotions not fact… and it’s really very pathetic.

You live in Austin. That’s bad enough.
I strongly believe that the players need to get over themselves about the flag protests. Just toe the line and do what your employer demands. Simple.
Someone should ask them what would happen if any other employee group put on even one political protest in the workplace. Let alone routinely.
I would expect your employer wouldn’t have a problem if you chose to kneel at your desk for two minutes a week to protest the needless slaughter of coyotes.
I would expect my employer to have a huge problem with that if my kneeling was during the national anthem that was being televised live to millions of people each week.
Right, “welcome to the law offices of We are not professional”
I think he’d be completely freaked out if that was going on. I mean, the anthem being played and televised to millions of people live from your office.
because you know all employers everywhere .
I like it. Forced Patriotism. Just like they do it in North Korea.
Yikes

That’s an absurd take. Good grief.

Not taking that bet
Would actually be a much better alternative than the anthem protests.

Think for a minute about what the NFL is asking these players to do: stand for 2 minutes a song that honors the country. What a horrible abuse of power that is. How awful.
Yea yea.
But come on.
The bit about the catch…that’s funny.
Also…go buy a charcoal grill.
The NFL is not trying to define patriotism. That’s hilarious.
They just know that a fair-sized chunk of their viewership is repulsed by millionaires refusing to stand for the anthem of the country that makes it possible to be millionaires by playing a children’s game.
And…. they also know that that same chunk is actually disciplined enough to STOP watching if the behavior they don’t like continues.
The interesting thing will be if the folks on the other side of the issue now boycott with the same ferocity at what they see as “mandatory patriotism” or “stifling their freedom to protest.”
Just a hunch: They won’t.

Subtropical storm Alberto has formed in the Gulf. Expected to make landfall Monday somewhere in the Mobile/Pensacola area as a tropical storm. Will be a very wet weekend along the Gulf coast and FL peninsula.
round hare, best to shelter in place anyway, don’t have to worry about the alien invasions, the zombie apocalypses, or the dragon fires that become of the interstate highways on Holiday weekends in the DMV. this is when you go to Aldi and get a hunk of beef, some beer, do some landscaping and enjoy the evenings while everyone else stabs their eyes out and feasts on the brains of those stuck in traffic next to them. and you wait for the European families’ daughters to be of age so you can look over the fence at their pool without being arrested.
because yes, yes they do. and you know what I mean. and it’s awkward as der hecken.
What does Mrs. Mike think when they do? I can see that being awkward indeed.
I don’t know she has seen it; I did mention it, and to be honest as much $$$ they put in that pool they don’t use it as much as you’d think, what with three kids home all summer.
I don’t think it happens that often, and maybe it only happens when they forget themselves after having gone to Europe for a few weeks to see the relatives. But it happens to be a few times a year when I mow.
and when I say “look over the fence” there’s nothing dirty about it. it’s a 3′ fence.

Kap’s lawyer thinks Trump/Pence have violated Title 18, Section 227 of the United States Code. A violation of 18 U.S.C. 227 arises if the President and/or the Vice President intended “to influence, solely on the basis of partisan political affiliation, an employment decision or employment practice of any private entity” and “influence[d], or offers or threatens to influence, the official act of another.”
with their support against the anthem protests and Kap not getting a job
so there is your impeachable offense
Not sure that would rise to the level of a “high crime or misdemeanor.”
I don’t think so. This was the president tweeting and saying that the NFL should not hire/fire someone. That’s hardly a high crime or misdemeanor.
The “partisan political affiliation” part is where the argument fails, among other reasons.
that was what I was trying to say/figure out
Disagree with you there. The only reason Trump commented was to fluff his base.
That’s not close to enough to meet that element. That statute’s intent is to prevent a Republican president from trying to get democrats fired for political reasons, and vice versa. This isn’t close to that.
Hmm, I’m not seeing anything in the statute that supports your claim.
Go read up on it, then. I’m not going to do a law review article here at The Hog Sty.
Whatever you think the purpose was is irrelevant. If the statute is clear, and it seems to be, the courts won’t look at the legislative history.
I’ve looked into this statute. Somebody asked me to reasearch it awhile ago. Kaepernick’s lawyer is wrong.
I would say that he will find it impossible to PROVE that Trump said what he said “solely on the basis of political affiliation,” even if it’s true.
Wait…. You don’t think Trump actually believes what he said?
I don’t think he was trying to fluff his base. If it did that, it was collateral, or at least convincingly collateral. Because Trump is just the kind of rah-rah old I-got-mine white dude who believes no one can possibly be kneeling for something more than “disrespecking our flag!”
I don’t think Trump ever believes what he’s saying. Everything he says is calculated to benefit him in some way.
Well, then, you credit him with a lot more intelligence than I do. I never would have guessed.
Doesn’t everyone realize that President Trump is intentionally just trolling the media?
Trolling the media… yes. Doesn’t believe in his heart that the protests are “Wrong”? No way.
Wow, you really believe that? That dude is about as patriotic as my left nut.
I don’t think he’s ‘patriotic’ necessarily either.
But I do think he hates when players kneel. Now, what his motivations are for that feeling, I’m not sure. But he seems just like the type who thinks everybody else is an idiot. And casts quick judgments and never veers from them.
It’d be pretty open-minded of him to be understanding (in his secret, non-political heart) about the protests. I don’t think he’s capable of that kind of nuanced thinking.
Another factor is that he has a grudge against the NFL for spurning his efforts to buy a team, and for burying the USFL (due to Trump’s boneheaded decision to go head-to-head with the NFL).
He may hate the NFL too. I have a feeling he has a lot of capacity for hate in his greasy-clogged-up old heart.
That doesn’t mean he didn’t believe what he said about the protests.
And, even if he did do it merely “in character” for partisan, political gain, how could anyone prove that?
That’s the kicker. Impossible to prove unless he was stupid enough to put in writing and it somehow comes out.
More importantly, the “partisan political affilation” part just isn’t the situation here.
Thank you for a good conversation on this issue.
I think if you gave Trump truth serum and asked him about the protests, he probably wouldn’t care much either way.
Lol. Kap is a clueless nutbag. He and Trump should be best bros.
Any president should want to encourage celebrities of all types to show support for the flag (and therein the republic it represents).
Trump’s comments were typically unhinged, brash, hyperbolic and tone deaf, but they sure weren’t illegal, nor were they made “solely on the basis of partisan political affiliation.”
Mike Florio – who leans far left – wrote a diatribe on PFT about this this morning and of course totally ignored the “solely on the basis of partisan political affiliation” language. And he’s an attorney who should know better.
He’s Florio. He should know better, but he doesn’t. His blue-tinted glasses and his totally transparent players-side bias often leave that dude blind to the obvious.
I respect him for the scoops he often pulls, but he can be blind.
what political party does Kaep work for?
He doesn’t have a party, because he told the world that he didn’t think he should bother voting, which is another reason I hate him. Spews all of this nonsense about what a horrible country this is, how Fidel Castro is good, then doesn’t bother voting. Screw him.
then the part of “soley on the basis of partisan political affiliation” is bunkum
and it means that they’re scratching at the bottom of the barrel and their case is moving from legal to PR
Kaepernick’s lawyer is just babbling. Even if he’s right, which he’s not, it has zero to do with the grievance case.
He’s a fool, plain and simple.
He turned a temper tantrum into a “political thing” to save face, and has since, quadrupled down on it about seventeen times.
Eli stays and the little people go
The New York Giants have parted ways with three members of their locker room and equipment staff that were involved in the Eli Manning fake memorabilia lawsuit, according to Jordan Raanan and Darren Rovell of ESPN.com.
Edward and Joseph Skiba and Ed Wagner Jr. were let go by the Giants, per the report. Joseph was the team’s equipment director, Edward, was the assistant equipment manager and Wagner was the equipment/locker room manager.

Alex Smith said Gruden and Reid’s schemes are both “Latin-based languages.” I like that.
Everyone knows I was and still am a fan of KC (person first, player second) and that I am less enthusiastic than others about Smith, but comments like that one (and “ball is ball”), plus his obvious leadership, are winning me over.
Preferable to, “how you like me now,” and “I just want to be where I’m wanted.”
And especially to “Shh, don’t tell coach my knee is really messed up,” or “I’m the best QB in the league.” 🙂
But seriously, I do think Smith is going to be a likeable guy who is a good leader. He’ll never be our draft pick or young, but I think he’ll be easy to root for.
I haven’t heard a single knock against him as a person.

There’s a thin line between love and hate, Greg. We all know you’ve got an RGIII poster over your bed.
Swing and a miss
Was against the trade from the first minute that it happened
So was I.
Bull
Truth. Never understood why you couldn’t separate the player from the bad trade. The Redskins FO made the trade, not RG. Once the mistake was made it became a sunk cost and incumbent upon RG and Skins to make the best of a bad decision.
I was all in for it at the time, mainly because I thought and I still think there’s no price too high for a true franchise QB. I got sucked in by his cannon arm and 4.3 and ignored the fact that he didn’t have a playbook at Baylor, basically. That’s why I think Lamar Jackson is so much better a prospect – he played in a pro style system and had a great former NFL coach.
I was against the trade because I think it’s always a bad mistake to trade up into the top of the first round.
Lol. Always appreciate the willingness to make fun of yourself.
Slowly bringing my 10 yo up to speed to run a 5k this fall.
He hit his first 2m yesterday (six weeks in) and the last stretch was about 400 yards uphill. I was pushing him pretty good, and at first he was resistant. But somewhere in there he pushed through that wall and hit that reserve of strength/endurance we all have.
It was pretty cool, because I could tell it surprised him. He didn’t know until yesterday that it was there and afterward he was exhausted, but pumped up to realize that he had this untapped juice in him.
It was fun to see, and I think its the kind of thing that’s really special about sports (whatever sport) because they can teach you stuff about yourself and give you that confidence to battle through adversity.
I know we were talking about this exact thing in the last week, and then to experience a version of it with my own son, I thought I’d share.
When mine was around that age, his school had a field day, and he entered himself in a 100 yard dash. Now, he’s a big kid, tall, big boned, power hitter type, and he’s never been a sprinter. I remember telling him, look, 100 yards is a long way, and these kids might be quicker than you, but they aren’t going to be able to run all the way through the 100 yards at top speed, so just focus on the opposite goal post (it was on a football field) and forget about everything else, and run all the way through, and you’ll beat these kids. He did that and got 3rd place. So proud.
Yep. That’s just it. To see them push through what they think they can do is what makes you proud.
He’s had lots of great baseball moments now, but I remember one particular tournament where he hit a walkoff double in the bottom of the last inning in a Sunday afternoon playoff game. To see the sheer joy on his face, I just about cried.
Also, please vote in the poll, as I was supposed to put this up yesterday:
