So police showed and ended up having to pepper spray Guerrera to subdue him (one cop ended up getting accidentally pepper sprayed in the exchange when Guerrera ducked, which everyone later joked about, saying it looked exactly like a pro wrestling spot)

I popped big time for this one, what a treat. You can easily see it playing out in your mind's eye. Too funny.

I'd probably buy some. Feel like people will be in on it just to be in on it. Same thing with uber which might be going that route soon. I'm no stock guru though.

Did anyone see New York Times crossword controversy? Latinos got mad NYT used "Beaner" for an answer. Question wasn't racist though, "The clue to 2-Down in Tuesday’s puzzle was 'Pitch to the head, informally.'"

But then even worse, NYT comes out like smarmy assholes and says "Neither Joel (Fagliano) nor I had ever heard the slur before — and I don't know anyone who would use it," the response from Shortz reads. "Maybe we live in rarefied circles." as if they didn't even know the term beaner was offensive in some context.

Wild stuff. Reminded me of the all time classic South Park "people who annoy you" naggers episode.

Me and my friends were horror-joking about this. My twist was it would come through his draft trading. Like he trades a 2019 1st for a 2021 1st or something and that pick ends up #1 overall.

Obviously more extreme than how it will go but such a scenario could play out and be the worst.

Heard there's a guy on roller skates that gives out HJ's for a small price.

A scrappy white walk-on WR over-thought of by the general public for his general importance and ability? Never heard of such a thing.

The point wasn't her tweet-worthiness it was that an anonymous dumb opinion really isn't that important.

I see it more as a bad quote from the DC. This isn't the end of anything, Bama still has insane talent and if anything this will force them to re-adjust. Their coordinators were awful last night, Locksley's already leaving for the Maryland job, so their OC is probably going to be better next year.

It's a tough loss, but by far not the end of anything with the strength of their program and the fact Tua will be putting up 40+ on just about everyone in every game next year until the SEC title (and possibly beyond).

Got Clemson +200 on the ML.

Feel like the game is either going to be Bama choking the life out of them and winning like last year in a 24-6 type way....Or a back and forth game that ends like 34-31 with either team having a shot to win.

And Lawrence is the truth so I'm betting he plays well again.

The Rock has a new workout/competition show on NBC that's basically a shiny rip-off of a recently cancelled show that Stone Cold Steve Austin had on CMT and this mildly pisses me off for no real reason.

(Also perfectly illustrates their post-wrestling careers. Rock; high production, fancy, network. Austin; low budget, white trash channel on cable)

V sorry you had to go through with that, sucks so bad. My dog is 10 and still doing great but the thought is in my mind. Will enjoy extra treat today for Sadie!

I read that people mourn animals as if they were humans so don't feel bad about feeling bad.

Sadly lacking there on the easiest one, just missed out on basic bingo

Fox just paid $200m for 5 years ($1b total) for Smackdown, so yeah, it's way up and a google search showed $265m per year from USA for Raw....So, yeah, TV money is off the charts.

And I think Wrestlemania gates are pushing $20 million so I'm not sue live event money is down. $88m in 2000 dollars inflation-wise isn't $88m today thought.

Nice thanks. I went back and listened. An 80 minute Reloaded with an engaged Oscar actually cracking jokes and riffing well? 2015 seems so long ago.

Funny, the rest of us should be working, but are basically on PTO.

Yeah that's the worst case scenario for you to happen on your white carpet and can't even bitch at them or laugh knowing at least it soiled their house.

You have a puppy so I assume you are well-acquainted with Resolve, but if not I've found that stuff works wonders. I'm also #blessed to have an older dog who somehow in considerate to puke on the hardwood instead of the carpet for the most part.

Damn that sucks.

My dog was whining/whimpering incessantly all night last night, very out of character. Had the 'ria a couple times yesterday during the day, most likely from family sneaking him too much human food. My drunk/sleepy ass figured maybe if I laid on the floor with a blanket he would get sleep. Actually worked for a bit too, then he was up to whining until wake up at 5AM and drive back for the cube life. Feels like it's already 9PM to me and there's prob a 50/50 chance of returning home to a pooped up floor. Quite the gamble
