OPEN THREAD: Ring out the weekend.

OCEANIA HAS NEVER BEEN AT WAR WITH THE WASHINGTON PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM: Hall of Fame quarterback Sonny Jurgensen dies at 91.

Sonny Jurgensen, the Hall of Fame quarterback whose strong arm led to passing records for the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders and affable personality made him a beloved figure, has died at the age of 91.

ESPN was on in the locker room of the gym this afternoon, and I watched the newsreader discussing Jurgensen’s pro career by uttering something like “his time playing football in Washington,” as a way to avoid the R-word entirely.

Similarly, if the WaPo’s readers are wondering what happened to its sports section, rest assured its demise was entirely self-inflicted:

KRUISER: This Awful Thing That the Super Bowl Has Become Belongs on the Hallmark Channel. “Real sports fans loathe commercials. In fact, if there were an Olympic event that involved racing to grab a remote and mute an ad while we’re watching a game, we would all be contending for gold medals. Heaven help the person who gets between me and the remote as a football broadcast goes to a commercial about medication for leaping chlamydia.”

THAT WOULD BE TRULY AWFL:

VIDEO REVIEW: Precision Armament’s TiTrex .30 Cal Suppressor Sets a New Bar. “3D-printed from Grade 5 titanium, the TiTrex is one of the smaller, lighter .30 cal cans on the market at just 6.2 inches long and weighing only 9.2 ounces including the mount and front cap (5.9 in and 7.2 oz for the body alone). Inch-for-inch, it just might be the quietest .30 cal suppressor available. Even when paired up against longer, fatter, heavier cans, it beats out nearly all of them.”

It’s nice-looking, too.
