Shane Doan needs a nametag. Larry Fitzgerald is one of three Arizona sports stars to be a part of John McCain’s funeral & final “fuck you” to Donald Trump.
- Fitty going to be speaking at the service, and former Diamondback Luis Gonzalez & former Coyote Shane Doan will be pallbearers.
- He has spent years working with politicians like McCain on his various charity projects, and actually seems to be the rare athlete who knows the politicians he meets & lobbies.
- FYI – you want something affirming in your life today, read Fitty’s blog. Yes, it’s a managed site, but it genuinely seems to be about him & his beliefs.

- Jerry Jones has again raised the spectre of the 18-game season as a way to help avoid the lengthy preseason & commensurate injuries that accompany.
- League toady & PFT word vomiter Mike Florio contends the real reason is not “player safety” but “more revenue” from newly legalized gambling.
- He was at least kind enough to include some math:
- If Jerry Jones estimates the League could make a billion dollars off those extra two weeks, everyone should get a taste.
- At 53 players per roster, the league has 1,696 players. An extra billion dollars for those 1,696 players works out to, on average, another $589,622 per player per year. For 32 teams, it translates to another $31.25 million per owner per year.

- League toady & PFT word vomiter Mike Florio contends the real reason is not “player safety” but “more revenue” from newly legalized gambling.
- Dez Bryant is tacitly admitting it might be smarter for him to wait until the season starts before signing with a new team.
- He figures he can take advantage of a team in need, and he’ll be better able to pick a situation that might lead him deep into the playoffs.

:clears throat:
This week has already been brutal.
That will be all.
We are less than 24 hours from tWBS drafting Jason Witten in the 10th round
What a dumbass. I’m going to take Jay Novacek.
First pick, Air McNair motherfuckaz!
I got Aaron Hernandez
This comment made me laugh. I’m really sorry I didn’t see it last night.
I live on a busy street, so people like to throw their empty bottles and chip bags on the sidewalk grass. Here is my message to those people.

Sucks when the County Sheriff calls late at night to let you know some asshole has driven through your fence. At least I am sober and could drive out to make sure no cattle could get on the highway.
This has happened twice at our house. The first time it shaved off some of the stone on the front porch, the second crushed our neighbor’s garbage can.

Before added equipment; lift kit and bigger wheels.

Tonight’s dinner was a panini made from the leftover stuffed pork tenderloin, proscuitto, cheddar, and freshly roasted green chilis. It was goddamed delicious.
I feel bad now that I just noticed but @Beerguyrob had some great tags for this post
misspelled Canadia tho

I don’t understand why this gif doesn’t have more likes.
Are you people gay or something? Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I’ll have to start my third installment of underwear reviews…
Prolly ’cause I posted a similar one before?
He beat that coverage worse than he beat his baby momma
That’s good; wanted a Raiders cut, but forgot it was that asshole.
Close enough.
I’ve been back from my last jaunt to California for almost a month.
I’ve still got my suitcase sitting in my floor with half my shit still in it.
That’s kinda fucked up, right?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTnVMulDTYA
No.
Nice of you to lie, but yes it is.
Did you use all the close up that were packed? Why put shit away twice? If you brought some booze back and it is still in the suitcase, now that’s all kinds of fucked up.
I’ve washed the stuff taken out. Several times, actually.
The rest is just sitting there in the floor still.
At least you didn’t put the washed ones back in the case.
Have you tripped over it yet? That is what usually makes me put it aw…..OK, just move it, but still.
found a funny:
What they say:
Hi I’m Brandon. This is Liz and Steven.
What I remember:
Hi I’m BLERPBLAP. This is GLAUNGH and CRAIG or maybe GREG.
Blerpblap is the name of my dead brother. Thank you for mocking him.
What a coincidence!
Thanks Obama!!
I feel like we don’t say “Fuck You, Florida” enough, but I really look forward to the day when AZ, NC, and/or TX drift leftward enough that one can never care about that backwards, shitwater, hellhole of a state ever again.
/except for Odd Week Jaguras, you still cool

//will be Fulham Jaguras soon enough
I’m glad Ohio is stuck in a time vortex that keeps it 10-20 years behind everyone else. It keeps us from being blamed for everything.
yeah, hard to have a strong opinion re Ohio. It’s just kind of there.
Hello there from Wichita. Yes, we’re still here:

Well EXCUUUUUUSSSE ME for not knowing the difference between a violin and a fiddle:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1ryJDVuZ6k
Stradivarius gonna fuck you up bro
I was going to watch that “Red Violin” movie when it came out because it had Samuel L. Jackson in it but that was 20 years ago. Still haven’t seen it.
Never heard of it, but I assume it went something like this:

weren’t there too many goddamned snakes in that goddamned fiddle?
This happens to be one of my favourite pieces of music in EVAR!!!!!!
Thank you ALXMAC

We lost him too soon. He should’ve been committed until he was cleaned and had someone watching him all the time to keep him on the straight and narrow.
You know, the Robert Downey Jr. Treatment.
And from my favorite (sic) movie EVAR!!! WE’RE TWINSIES!!!!!!
I try to re-watch it once a year.
Great flick.
The final 15 or so mins of the movie are what elevates it to my favorite. The cinematography, acting, story, and music all lead to the best final act of anything I’ve ever seen.
Agreed.
When they’re chasing Magua up the mountain, and the music builds….?
Nothing better.
I think I need to watch it tonight.
Magua (Wes Studi) makes that movie. He’s been good in everything I’ve seen him in. Russel Means was good to.

Punishment fits the crime.
I almost got out. Almost.
So close.

This is the song playing while you google Jamie Pressly and find out she’s married
She’s not currently married.
And I could take her live in boyfriend out very easily.
But yeah, something like that nonetheless.
She is a good poisoning away from being single and in need of cheering up.
I was thinking a stabbing and dismemberment, but your idea might be better.
And actually, the BFS song “Almost” I posted above is in reference to me almost getting out of NC and to California.
I was so close. But now I don’t think it’ll ever happen. Not while I’m still young enough to give a shit, anyway.
So you’re saying there’s a chance…
No.
I’m at her house right now if you want me to give her a message, as soon as she’s done folding my clothes.
Tell her I say “Hi”.
She’ll still know what it means.
“See the war on christmas is real, ppple.”
This reminds me of an old joke.
But it’s not a good joke so, never mind.
Fish Balls.
I’m still here and on vacation!
Now i’m finally ready to go home.
Well done Denver. Well fucking done.
There’s a kid in the street in front of my apartment doing tricks on his skateboard while wearing purple camo pants. I don’t usually stereotype folks, but, I feel like my chances of being stabbed have gone up significantly.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuQFI9TXiv8
One of these days, he’ll find this car, and feel like that for one brief moment
Is he screaming incoherently, and dancing like he’s having a seizure?
No, but by the sounds of his “skateboarding” he sounds rather uncoordinated.
If you having any steps or railings, get some popcorn, go the window and wait.
Hey!!! As a proud Baltimore native I think you’re being too judgemental.
But yeah, lock your doors just in case.
You ever had one of your fave songs blossom into much more meaning that you originally ascribed it to?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJVsUMKftMo
“But he’ll find his way … by the morning light.” kills me every time. No matter how bleak things seem to be-there’s a way through.
until they’s not
That’s a great song.

Also, I’ve met Shane Doan. Pretty good guy as best I can tell.
“Maybe some wide receiver will get injured early in the season. Then I might, maybe, get a contract.”

I’m apparently having a lucid dream because there’s no way in Heaven, Hell and this Cursed, Damned Earth that the Bengals got both Dunlap and Atkins to re-sign on the same day. Should I go flying like an eagle or should I summon a harem of women to service my every imaginable desire? Maybe even a guy or two. What the hell its a dream, it doesn’t count.
Look like they couldn’t find a Phoenix Sun to also be a pallbearer for McCain; no problem, they’ll just swing by a Home Depot on the way to the cemetery and pick up a replacement.
Earlier today, as my mother is frantically pushing buttons on the “TV remote control”….
Mom: I hate this TV, why won’t the channel change?
Me: *sigh* That’s the telephone, Mom.
(I swear to god, this is not made up)
*sigh*
/says goodbye to any thoughts of moving to California anytime soon
Not just you.
/ Yesterday morning; Mom banged on my bedroom window, I run outside expecting Dad to be keeled over dead or the deck on fire.
Mom: “I can’t find the vacuum thingy to the pool hose!”
Me: “I don’t know where it is. I didn’t use it last.”
Mom: “I can’t find the vacumm thingy to the pool hose!”
Me: “Where did you put it last?”
Mom: “I put it with the hose when I wrapped it up over the pool.”
Me: “Did it fall into the pool when you unwrapped the hose.”
Mom: “No, I looked.”
Me: “What’s that in the center of the pool.”
Mom: “The vacuum thingy.”
I can never move out to start my life. My parents and deadbeat brother have become my children.
Yep, that sounds about like what I’ve got going on.
But at least you have a pool.
😛
One that gets cleaned too, from the sound of it.
I’ve got a pond.
why dirty the pitcher?
