Old People Are Good Fuel for Bonfires

jjfozz - June 27, 2016

Old people suck. They should be returned to the earth so we can grow tastier carrots and potatoes. Old people are fucking up my neighborhood, and imposing their outdated, cranky views on young couples and their kids. It started at an HOA meeting – dreadful punch and cookies, not a drop

NFL Nuggets: Pete Carroll says it's cool that Nate Robinson wants to try out, but has a slim likelihood of making a team, let alone the Seahawks. Kind of a strange look for a guy who normally looks at all the facts before rushing to judgment. Still with the 'Hawks, Michael Bennett

Look, there's no sports that matter tonight, except for the start of the Copa America. (Sorry #BFIB) Hockey resumes on Saturday in San Jose - 8:00; party at Covalent's! breakfast at Sunrisesunrise's! - and hoops resumes on Sunday. And, honestly, I'm kinda bankrupt on ideas today - intellectually, as well as

Quick Field Notes From Seattle

BrettFavresColonoscopy - June 3, 2016June 3, 2016

The ladyfriend and I spent a long Memorial Day weekend in Seattle and the broader Olympic Peninsula area. Yes, we had a lovely time, thank you for asking. The featured image is a view of the city (and Mt. Rainier) from Kerry Park, and I'm open to compliments on my photography. Here's

Your Kid Sucks at Sports

jjfozz - May 31, 2016May 31, 2016

I have two sons. One plays baseball and soccer. The other plays football and lacrosse. They may play in high school. They are not going to college on a sports scholarship. They are not going to play any of these sports professionally. And while I loathe the NCAA, read this

Whoopsie-doodle. Looks like no one volunteered for tonight, so here's a quarter-assed fill-in right quick. I spent today driving wifey to work, various doctor's appointments, picking the wifey back up, filling new prescriptions, getting a much needed haircut, installing my parents' third printer since September (seriously, guys?!), picking up said scripts, and

In the world of sports, there are very few things better than a Game 7. By that point, the series has been balanced, both teams are clearly evenly-matched, and it's come down to whomever makes the fewest mistakes, who sticks to the fundamentals a little bit better, and sometimes, who

It's been a busy past few days in NFL News: Josh Norman signed with the [REDACTED]s and shortly thereafter admitted that he tried and failed to go crawling back to the Panthers; Sam Bradford demanded a trade and said he wouldn't show up to OTAs in protest of the Eagles'

Diary of a Panic Attack Pt. 1

WCS - April 25, 2016April 25, 2016

Sup, kiddos. I used to suffer from the occasional panic attack episodes (meaning 1-4 over the span of 2-3 days) every year, year and half growing up. I didn't know what they were, nor did my parents ever really see fit to have it looked into. It's not their fault; I

Not much on the NFL front today; remember - it's three weeks to the draft. Everybody's plotting and machinating in advance of picking the person everyone expects them to take. Except Jimmy Haslam - he's out trying to find another magic draft hobo. Too bad there's no direct rail link
