5 Thoughts for August 21, 2015

1. Earlier this year Josh Duggar was forced to admit that he had molested his sisters and other young girls when he was a teen, and quit as the head of the conservative Family Research Council. Yesterday Gawker outed his memberships in Ashley Madison -- a site that was dedicated to cheating spouses. Gawker also believes that it has found an OK Cupid account linked to him. Josh Duggar offered his defense: Porn addiction. He's so toxic, I would not touch him with a 10 foot pole wrapped in latex, using a remote-controlled robot, while on the opposite side of the planet, for fear that I might catch Duggar germs.
2. I have stumbled upon a means to shut down a subset of online trolls, The False Expert: Submit to the False Expert, that with their seemingly high level of knowledge in a particular (sometimes obscure) subject, that they should share more on the subtleties of their knowledge that pertain to the matter at hand. I have done this three times in the past week and the False Expert has always disappeared.
3. This is just my opinion, but if he doesn't want to play, why not trade Kam Chancellor for the Cleveland's Tashaun Gipson? You get a guy who might be just as talented, but on his last year of a rookie contract. It gives Seattle an opportunity to avoid concessions at the start of the second year in a four-year contract, lets Chancellor have a fresh start to renegotiate a bigger contract, and allows Seattle to essentially trade horizontally but affording some cap space next year to sign Bennett with a longer and bigger contract.
4. Adoree Jackson kicked a field goal in practice, yesterday, which begs the question: Is there any position that he can't play? Can he get into the Summer Olympics, too? He's going to win the Heisman.
5. Folks, Hawaii's facing yet another tropical hurricane threat: Tropical Depression Kilo looks like it'll strengthen to a hurricane while tracking backwards towards Kauai. Its path looks like a cross between Iniki and Iwa. Scary as hell, that this is the third time in a matter of just over a month that Hawaii's facing yet another hurricane threat. Combined with last year's cluster of close calls, what we're seeing is unprecedented.
