The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals set aside an injunction and paved the way for the NFL to impose its six-game suspension of Ezekiel Elliott.  The appeal hinged on the complete lack of charges, the evidence of the “victim” trying to convince friends to lie on her behalf and the fact that the NFL’s only investigator to speak to her saying there should be not penalty for the player whatsoever. But when you collectively bargain to let the league commissioner have professional power equivalent the that of Kim Jong Un when it comes to meting out punishment, this is the kind of bullshit you can expect. Of course, Zeke never agreed to the CBA since it was put in place prior to him entering the league. But when you effectively have a closed shop, his options are limited. (Note I said “effectively” before you get into the nuance of the CBA and the law.) Zeke’s legal team are weighing their options as the Cowboys are on a bye week. I won’t go into anything else pro football related. Sorry. I’m still red-assed about the shenanigans going on.

I guess the St Louis Blues aren’t perfect after all. And neither are the Maple Leafs, whose rapid descent to the Wales Conference cellar should start right…about…now! Hey, the Red Wings are looking good in their new arena. Mike Illitch would be proud. The USA Mens National soccer team still sucks ass and Bruce Arena isn’t interested in the WC anymore.  Why? Because he’s a dipshit, that’s why. But either way, I hope Panama are proud of the way they got to the playoff game. And I hope the Socceroos beat them.

And then there were four.  Sorry Nationals fans. But you have to know a team managed by The Lizard is gonna lose when they have a chance to clinch a series.  Its happened nine consecutive games now. The Cubs won what can only be considered a wild game by any measure.  Big hits, goofy errors, crucial challenges, and some interesting pitching moves. This one had it all. They’ll head to Los Angeles where their series against the Dodgers begins tomorrow.  Meanwhile, on the other side of the playoffs where the games are always four hours and pitchers don’t hit, the Yanquis will be in Houston today. Masahiro Tanaka will take the hill for the pinstripes while the Astros send out Dallas Keuchel. Game time 7:08.

Here we are at the end of the week and I know you want some news instead of sports.  So I’ll oblige you with…the links!

Not the best way to go from a legacy standpoint.

What happens in the Dominican Republic stays in the Dominican Republic. Well, at least through the autopsy.

The Wine Country wildfires are still burning as the death toll rises. FEMA offers to help. Again, to our NorCal friends, please stay safe. If y’all need anything please let us know at the submit email address. We’ll do what we can.

Wait, does this count as rent-seeking?  Or is it literally the opposite? Either way, the taxpayers are gonna get fucked.

Guess who might kill President Trump’s tax break bill? If you said a brain tumor that had taken control of its host, you may be more right than you think. Seriously, this motherfucker needs to GO. THE. FUCK. AWAY.

Don’t look for too long or you’ll get syphilis.

Three peas in a pod? I don’t know. but I’m sure as fuck grabbing my popcorn. This is better than anything I’ve seen out of Hollywood in years. Meanwhile, the movie mogul was spotted in a Phoenix eatery hours before checking into his sex rehab clinic. Apparently he ordered the manicotti and was said, in unconfirmed reports, to have offered the waitress a really big tip in the penthouse of the nearby W Hotel. Also unconfirmed is whether he recreated Jackie Treehorn’s doodle on the back of the bill.

“Nighty night, everybody. I’m done, warden.” Damn, dude is cold-blooded even as they roll him away to die.

Robert Pruett was given a lethal injection for the fatal attack on corrections officer Daniel Nagle in December 1999 at a prison southeast of San Antonio. Nagle was repeatedly stabbed with a tape-wrapped metal rod, though an autopsy showed he died from a heart attack that the assault caused. Prosecutors have said the stabbing stemmed from a dispute over a peanut butter sandwich that Pruett wanted to take into a recreation yard against prison rules.

Crazy fuck probably liked crunchy too.

Well to finish off the week’s theme of crime I give you the opposite of Mr Pruett.

And finding that link as a lead in was a total fluke. But sometimes God smiles at even me. I hope he smiles on each of you and your family today too. Have a great weekend.
