Jake The Snake Plummer Honors Pat Tillman Against NFL Rules

Says that if he's fined, he'll take his fine "like a man"

Nick sends this story over.

Asked recently about Plummer's sticker, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the league's long-standing policy prohibits personal messages on uniforms or helmets. Violators could face fines of $5,000.

"I'll get fined," Plummer said. "I'll take my fine like a man."

He said he would ask the NFL to give the fine money to the Pat Tillman Foundation, which was set up to honor him after his death.

It's just a small gesture, and it can't bring Tillman back to us, nor help win the peace in Afghanistan.

But really, a lot of what's good in life is just small gestures.

Sort of like that Miami Vice episode with Glenn Frye (the first one-- Smuggler's Blues), where Rico doesn't have a clean undershirt to go with his banana-yellow zoot suit, and Crocket just opens up his t-shirt drawer and says, "Here, man. Take mine. We're gonna need to look sharp when we meet Reyes about the drop."

And then he sticks his pinky into a bag of coke and tastes it and says, "Mmm. Pure Columbian snow."

Suddenly, I find that I am a huge Jake Plummer fan.

the odd aspect of the Plummer story is that he wants to display the sticker that the NFL authorized players to wear during week 2 (the week the NFL publicly honored Tillman).

why not let the players wear the sticker for the remainder of the year? especially players like Plummer (and Tedy Bruschi of the Pats) who played with Tillman in college. (BTW Plummer played with Tillman in college and in the pros.)

I saw this story last night, on ESPN's MNF pregame show, and the reporter giving the story said that Jake said it was just too hard to take that sticker off his helmet. As small a gesture as it ends up being, it really elevates him above the rest of the NFL, and many of us civilians.
Thank you for helping keep Pat's sacrifice fresh.

Tillman served in my regiment, and I have always been
a Broncos fan. Clearly, Jake Plummer is a quarterback
who gets it.

Now I feel like a jackass. This is what happens when
you stay up all night drinking. Please refrain from
associating me with The Regiment. I have only spoken
for myself.

When I heard about the fines I was stunned. What a bunch of crap! If the powers that be over at the NFL are so afraid of alienating football fans, maybe they should rethink the whole cost of tickets to a game. But I digress. I honestly think every player should still be wearing Tillman's number...fine be damned! I never paid much attention to Plummer before, but you better believe I will now.

P.S. Don't you be mocking me with that Miami Vice stuff now! I've been through this with one man already, I don't need another one.

P.P.S. If I play Columbian drug lord hostage, will you play Crockett and come rescue me?

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite

I wouldn't click on it, it's not interesting, it's just stupid clickslop. I just want to share my annoyance with you.
Oil prices plunge on bizarre realization that Eric Swalwell may actually be straight. A rapey molester, allegedly, but a straight one.

Now twenty people will tell me it's not obscure, it was huge in their hometown and played at their prom. That's how it usually goes. When I linked Donnie Iris's "Love is Like a Rock," everyone said they knew that one and that his other song (which I didn't know at all) Ah Leah! was huge in their area.

In more marketing for Project Hail Mary, scientists say they've found the biosigns indicating life growing on an alien planet. It's not proof, just signatures of chemicals that are produced by biological metabolism, and it could be nothing, but scientists think it's a strong sign that this planet is inhabited by something.
In a paper published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, a team of scientists announced the detection of dimethyl sulfide (along with a similar detection of dimethyl disulfide) in the atmosphere of an exoplanet called K2-18b. This is actually the second detection of dimethyl sulfide made on this planet, following a tentative detection in 2023.
Tons of chemicals are detected in the atmospheres of celestial objects every day. But dimethyl sulfide is different, because on Earth, it's only produced by living organisms.
"It is a shock to the system," Nikku Madhusudhan, first author on the paper, told the New York Times. "We spent an enormous amount of time just trying to get rid of the signal."

He means they tried to prove the signal was caused by things other than dimethyl sulfide but they could not.
Artemis moon shot a go, scheduled for 6:24 Eastern time tonight
Great marketing arranged by Amazon to promote Project Hail Mary. Okay not really but it does work out that way.
