NFL News:
- Glover Quin is retiring after 10 seasons with the Lions & Texans.
- He started 156 of 159 games, and made 24 interceptions during his career.
- Despite only playing in Detroit for 6 seasons, Quin finished his career second all time among Lions defensive backs in tackles with 423.
- In town for the ESPYs, Gronk & TAWMMY had a throwing session, fueling speculation the big man might not be completely done.
- “I mean I can’t really say how I’m going to feel about it when the games start rolling around and everything.”
I’m sorry.
I looked at tonight’s menu offerings and was, quite frankly, disappointed.
It’s not like there aren’t important things that happened on today’s date in history:
- 1850 – U.S. President Zachary Taylor dies after eating raw fruit and iced milk.
- 1868 – The 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution is ratified.
- 1943 – World War II: The Allied invasion of Sicily begins.
- 1993 – The Parliament of Canada passes the Nunavut Act leading to the 1999 creation of Nunavut.
I mean, I have a couple of tags devoted to such endeavours. However, no matter what I tried,
I just couldn’t get anything onto the page that seemed of a verifiable “quality”.
So, please entertain yourselves
while I’m off selling beer.

Sorry for the lack of originality today. I’m sure tomorrow will be better.
I suppose we can all agree to disagree.
Raw fruit? If we’re talking Zachary Taylor, we’re talking cherries or GTFO
da Fuq you doing up at this hour?
Mainly bitching about my back and drinking
Carry on!!!
And now Rip Torn is dead.
farewell Patches.

Has anyone not killed themselves?
But at least it was in Cleveland.

I think I’ve lost weight. Something must be wrong. I’m doing everything right.
I love watching the Tour De France replays because:
1- the scenery is gorgeous
2- The podium girls are gorgeous.
3- They have five different sets of podium girls, each with different colour dresses.
That’s all the same point, you just kept going into further detail.
Exactly
Because there are different jerseys!
Let me know if you’ve heard this before, but Brad Hand is struggling.
Yeah, they need to pull his ass sooner than later.
Aaaaaand he gets bailed out. Nice play, flyout to #2.
“Oh, struggling…”
-David C.
Wow. If you’re shifted and on the outfield grass, there is no excuse not to field that ball.
Jesus comes to bat for the NL with the bases loaded.
Jesus can’t make contact with a slider.
Or a fastball either. Go have a seat, Jesus.
And shave that shit.
They’re on Jobu’s turf now.
My stomach has been mad at me all day, but I just ate a giant bowl of Caldo de Pollo and I have life again.
That looks moar harmful than a vegetarian pizza.
(moar on that tomorrow morning)
Mine was gringo level spicy.
LOL
Jerry Callo just killed that ball.
It being off Giants pitching made it even better.
found a funny:
my white claw brings all the girls to my bar and they’re like, “it’s seltzer but hard”
My brother met some Malibu cows this morning.
Meanwhile, I just spend five hours straight writing objections to RFP
Malibu Cows sounds like a euphemism.
Not a euphemism:

A former girlfriend once told me that she thought I look like John Smoltz.
I always resented that.
I am much uglier than Smoltz.
But now, 30 years later, I have more hair.
I WIN!!!!!!!!
You look like that father of my favorite lawyer thot except with lighter hair but much better taste
Also my father if, again, you were taller and a much bigger asshole.
LOL, I’m honestly not sure how to respond to that.
Thanks…I guess?
You’re cool.
Joe Buck makes me hate everything.
Someone is channeling their inner Brockmire tonight?
Inner?

Baseball is so confusing, I have no idea if this game decides the world series home field, or if it can end in a tie.
It can do two things!
If it ends in a tie, then Game 7 would be played on a field in Wichita
It’s a strange existence when the thing you now look forward to on Tuesday is checking out the grocery store circulars to see who has the best deal on canteloupes.
(It’s Ralph’s, btw)

Forgot about this tune. Nice pull.
Rather than get someone in the Rock and Roll Hall (even if it’s a farce) they got whoever the fuck this guy is.
They could’ve gotten one of the Doobie Brothers.

I love spending 5 minutes loading up the dishwasher, and then feeling like I’ve accomplished something. Almost as good a feeling as not loading the dishwasher because it’s too much work and I’ve got hockey articles to read.
Hockey articles? In July? Someone drank his maple syrup this morning.
Watching the Tour de France Replay:
My money’s on the wonky, long-legged nerd!
I watch that with relaxing music playing.
I love the fact that you completely ignored the MLB All-Star game.
The what?
It’s like the Pro Bowl, but somehow even less fun.
I would rather watch the legends softball game.
I would rather watch the 2018 congressional softball game
