Jimmy Haslam: “Scout Hobo, I need your help again. I bribed my executives to artificially inflate our profits on paper, now the feds are after me.” Scout Hobo: /lifts head off cracked pavement in dilapidated Circle K parking lot/ “You again? Tell them you rely on your accountants to always use industry standard methods, and you know nothing else. Play dumb.” Jimmy Haslam: “Brilliant! I’ll be back before the draft for another talk!” Scout Hobo: /Takes giant swig from gas station Fireball bottle, coughs up infected phlegm, vomits/ “Ok, see you then.”

Scout Hobo can’t play, too busy swilling gas station Fireball and advising Jimmy Haslam on how to respond to federal investigators looking into his bribery scheme to defraud Warren Buffet.

JFC, I can’t believe this.

Rookie Pool looms.

They just signed him last Friday. They’re phoning it in to the nth degree.

I will check out that movie. For next year, looking forward to the draft a ton. The doctor’s report on Reader will mean a lot. If he can get back to what he was, 2 or 3 year affordable deal for him and it frees up that draft spot. Also, TJ is correct, Burrow needs to somehow stay healthy in camp AND Zac has to change his pre season work to somehow get this team ready to play. Stumbling out of the gate is very much a pattern and it needs to be fixed. Tee is gone, too expensive. And Boyd is in inevitable decline. Iosivas looks competitive. I think it’s WR in round 2. Has to be O line in round one.

This Texas vs Washington game has football but also complete hot sideline babe Molly McGrath is forcing coaches to mumble crapola into her microphone.

Can we draft an o line coach?

We need to improve in several areas, that kind of goes without saying. The line play never gets fixed, maybe start there Zac.

We’re having a hard time getting lined up on defense. The shifts and movement the Chiefs are throwing at us are working. The play on which they false started, by the time they were done moving around, Wilson was lined up at the edge, basically playing corner.

Need a pick 6 here before halftime.

That drop was tough. Kelce will have to shake it off.

Learn to tackle.

Ha ha! Dude runs down the sideline and Lou’s guys are like, right this way sir!

These State Farm ads are played. Done.

Great strip sack, great drive, great brawl, great touchdown. That sequence had it all!

How many chiefs get to cheap shot Chase? Just teeing off on our guy!

Number 91 baby!

Fuck YES!

Good drive there, happy Mixon is reaching some bonus milestones.

Defense continues to escort the other team politely down the field.

Jake Browning statement game coming up!

Spielberg is in the twilight of his career. It’s almost like he’s out of ideas. He remade West Side Story, very close to the original, then he remade one of his own movies as a musical. He may be a very serious fan of broadway plays, and is inspired to bring them to the big screen. I saw his “The Fablemans,” which was an autobiographical movie about his childhood. It was just ok. Then I saw him at the academy awards and as it failed to win any of the seven Oscar’s for which it was nominated, I saw something I’ve never seen. Spielberg looked genuinely disappointed, bordering on anger. He was always the coolest guy in any Hollywood room, but that time has clearly passed. I’d love to see him make some more blockbuster movies, but he seems just tired out.

I had to look it up, but Spielberg directed the first movie based on that book. Odd that he’s back with a musical adaptation.

Bowl games are taking on a new dimension of strangeness. Some teams show up in force, some teams show up with depth guys ready to rock after all their good players opt out or hit the portal. Like is the team we’re watching in the bowl even the same team that played in the regular season?
