Yardbarker- The league directed teams to have the 50-yard line numbers painted in gold as part of its “On the 50” campaign to celebrate the Super Bowl. Here are some of the aspects of the campaign:
The NFL plans to signify next year’s “golden” Super Bowl by using the color throughout the season in more ways than one. For starters, fans will notice an on-field upgrade, with the 50-yard line numerals and NFL shield logo painted gold in all 31 NFL stadiums. Team logos on sideline apparel also will feature gold accents, while the logos for official league events — including April’s draft, September’s Kickoff game and January’s playoff run — will adopt a golden hue. The Raiders, being who they are of course, refused to put up the gold numerals for both of its home games. An NFL employee says that is because the team is still sharing the stadium with the A’s and that the marks would be added after the baseball team’s season ends. However, the Coliseum’s GM says otherwise. “It has nothing to do with baseball,” AEG’s Chris Wright told Sports Business Daily. “The last six home baseball games are through this weekend, and there will be no gold marks for the rest of the Raiders’ regular season.” There is speculation that the Raiders are refusing orders in protest of the league awarding Santa Clara’s Levi’s Stadium with a Super Bowl, or because they are unhappy the league isn’t doing more to help their move. Whatever the reason, this is classic Raiders. Al Davis would be proud. I don't care why the Raiders 50 yard line isn't painted gold. I don't care if it's because baseball is still taking place there. I don't care if the speculation is true, and their refusal has to do with not being granted a Super Bowl. Honestly, all I care is that finally one team is standing up for what is right in the world, and one of the things that is right in the world is not making an aesthetic mockery of your field. I knew going into the season that the NFL had plans to paint the 50's gold. I knew well before the first kickoff. Then came week one, and the first time I saw a team moving the ball I said, "why the fuck are the 50's yellow?". That color is so far from gold that I completely forgot that it was supposed to be gold. Those 50's look like I spent a week traveling across the Sahara with no water, came home, pissed in a cup, took it to Home Depot, asked for a color of paint that resembles my urine, and shipped that paint to every NFL stadium, minus the Raiders of course. Come on NFL. You have enough money to pay these marketing teams to come up with these outlandishly silly ideas, but you don't have the the wherewithal to make sure they are executed correctly? There's a big difference between gold paint and whatever eye sore is invading my living room through my Sunday Ticket. There are a million different ways to pay homage to 50 years of NFL football. Was painting the 50 yard line sunflower yellow really the best you could come up with? For a business that has been insanely successful, despite the transgressions of the people in charge of running it, it amazes me that they try so hard to do things that make no difference whatsoever. It's like they get bored of sitting up in their Ivory tower watching the product that has made them so wealthy. It's just change for change's sake, and I for one am glad that the Raiders realized theres something to be said for not defacing your football/baseball field with piss numbers.

NJ.com- Three people with connections to suspended Rutgers wide receiver Leonte Carroo, including his mother, were charged Tuesday for their alleged role in the altercation that took place outside the university's football headquarters on Sept. 12, according to a statement from Rutgers spokesman Greg Trevor.
Lavern Carroo, the 41-year old mother of the Scarlet Knights star player, was among those charged by the Rutgers University Police Department for simple assault and disorderly conduct related to an incident. Also charged were Maria Vega, 20, and Juan Vega, 52. Authorities alleged that their actions included general fighting behavior, specifically hair pulling and striking a victim in the face with a hand. This is not the first time Lavern Carroo has been charged. According to court records, she pleaded guilty to third-degree theft by deception in Union County in 2001 and was sentenced to one year of probation. Police have accused Leonte Carroo of slamming a woman to a concrete surface outside of the Hale Center after the team's loss to Washington State on Sept. 12, according to a complaint filed in Piscataway municipal court. Carroo reportedly was intervening in an altercation between two women he has been romantically involved with. It's believed that Maria Vega had a romantic relationship with Carroo. Juan Vega's relationship to Maria is unclear. Both are from Fort Lee. The alleged victim worked for the Rutgers football program as a recruiting ambassador, multiple people with knowledge of the situation told NJ Advance Media last week. The alleged victim's father told NJ Advance Media that his daughter did not provoke the dispute. He said his daughter has a restraining order against Carroo, and has quit her job at the athletics department. Well I'll be, don't we just have damn near the most unrealistic episode of 'Jerry Springer' ever fucking created on our hands with this one. A division 1 football player, his mother (that has been arrested multiple times before), his girlfriend, an adult male family member of his girlfriend, and the victim (a recruiting embassador that the player was supposedly also sleeping with). That cast reads like it would be part of the most dramatic soap opera of all time. Maybe one day when this is all cleared up we can learn to laugh at it, take this script to a studio to be translated into Spanish, and have it turned into some half decent daytime television. Okay fine, I guess that's not the greatest idea I have ever had. Not because it wouldn't be entertaining but because it wouldn't be plausible. This scene sounds like it's straight out of the WWE. Like Leonte Carroo was the 4th member of D-Generation X to run in from the tarmack and perform his finishing move on a helpless victim. It's like all that's missing was theme music and some entitled member of the McMahon family. I am going to go out on a limb and assume that Leonte's mom, his girlfriend, and her uncle/father weren't taking the side of Carroo's sidepiece. That means there were three people yelling at, or engaging in physical contact with, one single woman? Yet, I am led to believe that Leonte felt his presence was so necessary NOT to help the victim that was clearly in distress at the hands of his loved ones, but to physically abuse the girl that was the 'handicapped' party in the handicapped match? Leonte needed to save the three people that were harassing one person so he suplexed the girl that was already at a disadvantage? Listen, I don't know what happened, and I don't claim to know what happened, but something about this whole incident seems fishy to me. I don't expect Leonte Carroo to play for Rutgers ever again, and with the way this season is trending it's probably best that he doesn't, but I can't help but think that he too was a victim. A victim of bad decision making, and a victim of the company he keeps. That doesn't excuse anything that he may have done to this woman. Just the fact that a captain of a Rutgers football team, that has already been through so much prior to this incident, put himself in this situation is an indictment of him. If he went as far as slamming a woman to the ground then he deserves every single punishment he gets legally AND from a career perspective. Still, Leonte Carroo doesn't strike me as the type of person that would savagely join in when a young woman was getting jumped, no matter what his relation to everyone else involved was. I could very well be wrong, and if there is video we should find out very shortly, but maybe, just maybe, the picture that has been painted isn't an accurate depiction of what happened that fateful night. Sean Payton Says That "Clark Kent Is Not Coming Through That Door" And I Couldn't Disagree More9/22/2015 Yardbarker- “Look, we’ve got this roster right now, and Clark Kent’s not walking in the door,” Payton said.
Payton observed that the Saints must clean up their in-game execution and discipline, specifically in the turnover department, if they hope to turn around their season. “It’s not one big thing. It’s not as easy as saying, ‘Hey, this is the one thing we gotta fix,’” he said. “It’s generally a handful of things you’ve got to be a little more efficient at.” With all due respect to the Head Coach that brought the Saints their first Super Bowl championship and is responsible for a lifetime full of memories over the last decade, I have got to disagree with Sean Payton here. The only reason that Clark Kent is not walking through that door is because he is already standing in the front of the room. Sean Payton is Clark Kent. He somehow lost the ability to become Superman. His innovative play calling and ability to turn seemingly average receivers into productive players used to be super human. He used to be unstoppable. There were many seasons where his only kryptonite was a porous defense. That kryptonite no longer exists. The defense, while unspectacular thus far, has easily played well enough for a Sean Payton coached offense to win. Now all that is lacking is Superman. There's no more cape. There's no more aura of invincibility. Just an average man, calling average plays from an average play sheet, getting beat by average opposition. Personally, I think I blame the phone booth. The Saints used to get the ball and you would be surprised if they weren't putting 7 on the board. That was especially true when they were playing in front of their own fans in the SuperDome. I am not sure what happened to those days. I don't know if it has to do with Drew Brees' age or Sean Payton's lack of aggressiveness, but either way this offense has become hard to watch. That's not something that I could have ever imagined myself saying with Sean Payton navigating the ship and Drew Brees manning the wheel. It's not to say that I think Sean Payton is a bad Head Coach, but I do think he has been a different Head Coach after sitting out the season for his perceived involvement in BountyGate. I do think that he used to be one of the premier coaches in the league, whereas now he seems a bit, dare I say it, ordinary. He's still a coach that you can win with, but he's not a coach that can game plan around the flaws in his roster to help his team win. Not every coach can do that, but it used to be something that Sean Payton took pride in. It used to be something that was expected out of the offensive genius that took a 3-13 abomination to the NFC Championship game. Gone are the days of the 2009 Super Bowl team. Gone are the days of the 2011 offense that was likely an abysmal defensive performance away from another Lombardi Trophy. Gone are the days of not only expecting, but knowing, that Sean Payton was going to dominate every defense put in from of him. That 'S' has faded off his chest, and while Clark Kent is still very capable, this current Saints team is in dire need of it's Superman. Seattle- Tight end Jimmy Graham, the Seattle Seahawks’ prized offseason acquisition who was supposed to revitalize the team’s offense in the red zone, caught just one pass for 11 yards on two targets in Sunday’s 27-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers.
Afterward, according to NFL.com’s Michael Silver, it was obvious Graham was upset by his lack of involvement in the Hawks attack. Silver said that while the 28-year-old wouldn’t go as far as calling for offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell’s job (like Marshawn Lynch’s mother Delisa did last week), he “clearly wasn’t thrilled” after Sunday night’s defeat. “Normally a cooperative and amiable interview subject, Graham dressed in an area of the locker room not accessible to media, emerged with his head down and headphones on and brusquely walked toward the exit, declining to stop when I got his attention,” Silver wrote. “I can’t be 100 percent positive, but I strongly suspect he was avoiding an interview because he feared he might say something overly negative. Let’s keep an eye on his situation going forward.” Let me say this, It wasn't Jimmy Graham's idea to get traded from New Orleans to Seattle. I'm sure he would have been plenty happy continuing his extremely successful career as a member of the pass-happy Saints. I have no doubt that he fancied playing with Drew Brees, a quarterback that was so adept at placing the ball in areas where he could make a play on it. On top of that, when you are traded to a new city you are basically required to verbally embrace that opportunity. Especially when that opportunity means you continue to receive your $10 million dollar salary. With that said, it seemed like Jimmy Graham went out of his way to slight the Saints, a team and offense that turned him from a raw basketball player to one of the most dynamic weapons in the history of the tight end position, over the offseason. It seemed like every week he was clamoring about how he wasn't asked to block in New Orleans (which he wasn't because it was evident he was, and still is, terrible at it). He was prattling on about how he would receive less 3rd down double teams playing in a less predictable offense in Seattle. So, while I still have a lot of love for Jimmy Graham, and I don't necessarily blame him for being upset, I am certainly not shedding any tears over his underwhelming start with the Seahawks. There was just one too many soundbites that irked the average Saints fan, so seeing him struggle when he thought the transition would be seamless is just a little bit vindicating. Are we just going to ignore the elephant in the room or should we pay it some mind? I realize it has only been two games, and that is nowhere near enough time for players to get acclimated to a new system. However, as of now, this transaction is shaping up to be one of the worst high profile trades in NFL history for both teams involved. While the Saints weren't exactly an offensive powerhouse last year, they are even worse this year. Their struggles to convert red zone opportunities into touchdowns have been far too evident, and it would be silly to ignore the fact that they lost one of the premier end zone targets in the NFL in Jimmy Graham. Not only that, but even with the addition of Max Unger, a Pro Bowl center, they still can't create running lanes or pass block effectively. To make a bad situation worse that inability has resulted in a bruised rotator cuff for their franchise quarterback. Meanwhile, in Seattle, the Seahawks REALLY can't block anyone, and their failure to get the ball to Jimmy Graham efficiently has been on of the reasons for their 0-2 start. As of now the only bright spot to come from this trade is Stephone Anthony, the quick, athletic linebacker the Saints selected with the first round pick they received from Seattle. There's still alot of time left for the pros and cons of this deal to work themselves out, but as of now both teams are winless and struggling in areas that they sacrificed by making this trade. Maybe these teams need to just a build a little chemistry, but it appears that there is a distinct possibility that this is one of those moves that looks far better on paper. This 70 Year Old Man Traveled 250 Miles To Get his Wife Her Favorite Coffee As A Romantic Gesture9/22/2015 Metro- Mr Pedlow rode to the rescue when he realised his wife’s Grand Mere coffee, which is only available across the channel, was running out.
After recently losing their car he decided to put his new electric bike to the test. He set off from the couple’s home in Plymouth, Devon, and cycled the short distance to catch the overnight Brittany Ferry to Roscoff. After reaching France he travelled a few miles to the hypermarket in Saint-Pol-de-Leon where he stocked up with 30kg of Grand Mere, costing him 166 Euros (£120). He embarked on the return journey that evening to a delighted Mrs Pedlow. ‘I didn’t go with him because I’m not a good traveller, particularly on the sea,’ she said. ‘I would’ve had to take tablets and it takes me a couple of days to get over taking just one of them.’ The couple, who have one child, have been drinking Grand Mere since 1980. Okay, so the real title of this blog is "This 70 Year Old Man Traveling 250 Miles To Get His Wife Her Favorite Coffee As A Romantic Gesture Is A Complete Fraud", but I didn't want to out my main man David Pellow. Don't worry David, your secret is safe with me. Well, me and whoever is bored enough to read this site. Someone want to tell me what makes this a romantic gesture exactly? Sure, it might read like one at first glance, but this is just a relaxing trip away from his ball-and-chain under the guise of romance. This guy didn't ride his bike to France to get this woman her favorite coffee out of love. The guy hopped on his ELECTRIC bicycle, which means this adventure required little to no physical exertion. Then he hopped on a ferry, that he KNEW his wife wasn't capable of taking. Then hopped back on his brand new electric bicycle to get the coffee. Then he did the same thing all over again. That just seems like an out of country vacation to me. Probably stopped for a nice steak dinner, and had a rendezvous at the titty bar as a night cap. Last time I checked Romeo didn't have a hook nose, a scraggly gray beard, and a shit eating grin. Plus, as much as I believe David enjoyed the time away from his wife, this trip was out of necessity. You know how much of a nagging bitch a woman in her 70's, that has drank the same coffee every day for the last 50 years, can be? David was just avoiding a lifetime full of bitching. No one wants to spend their dying days listening to their wife complain about how a nearly identical brand of coffee doesn't taste the same. This guy had three options, kill his wife and make it look like an accident, have his eardrums removed, or spend a nice long weekend alone and get his wife something in the process. If you want to say that David Pellow traveled 250 miles to get his wife some coffee than you can, and I hope you do, because David deserved some 'me' time, and a sham this well planned is deserving of brownie points. Fox Sports- In 2013, Anaheim Ducks defenseman Clayton Stoner killed Cheeky the bear in a trophy hunt. Stoner was even photographed posing with Cheeky's severed head.
Two years later, Stoner is facing five different charges related to British Columbia's Wildlife Act after killing the grizzly bear, from the Vancouver Sun: The B.C.-born Stoner is charged with two counts of making a false statement to obtain a licence on May 22, 2013, as well as one count of hunting without a licence, one count of hunting wildlife out of season, and one count of unlawful possession of dead wildlife - the latter three offences allegedly taking place on May 28, 2013. Stoner is scheduled to appear in Vancouver provincial court on Oct. 9. Here I was, all set to lay into Clayton Stoner. Not for killing a wild animal, but for making a skeptical of himself by publishing the photo on social media. Well, it's a good thing I did some digging/actually read the whole story before I started the blog, because if there is anyone being wronged here it's Clayton Stoner, not the bear whose head he is showing off. This picture is from 2013. Isn't there a statue of limitations on these things? Pressing charges against people for hunting wild animals for sport is a 2015 thing. In 2013 it was just considered something that weird, socially isolated people that grew up in West Virginia or British Columbia did for fun. In 2013 it was just a 'to each his own' situation. You want to hunt bears named 'Cheeky' or lions named 'Cecil' then have at it, just keep away from society while doing it. Now, all the sudden, because the outrage surrounding killing animals with names has grown we are allowed to retroactively prosecute NHL players that have spent their entire lives hunting wild game? Hey, if you want to tell me the Doctor who decided to become a big game hunter on a whim, and shelled out $30,000 grand to have a lion chased from it's protective habitat in order to be murdered deserves what's coming to him then I agree with you. However, a Canadian hockey player that grew up entrenched in that very culture is where I draw the line. Trying to arrest Clayton Stoner for a bear head in 2013 is like trying to arrest a grandmother for the racial slurs she used in the 80's. What's next? We going to shame people for their LGBT intolerant Facebook statuses from 2007? We going to sue Toys'R'Us for the gender specific toys that they sold in 2002? Boycott 'Target' for not having a transgender friendly bathroom in 2010? These are all new things that we have decided are extremely offensive to us, as a collective, over the last 12 months. Clayton Stoner has been grandfathered into this lifestyle, so unless he starts making a mockery of modern societal norms by Instagramming every predator he's ever slain then let him live his life free of persecution. You know, just like every single other demographic that has cried discrimination since the last time the ball dropped. P.S. All Clayton Stoner's should be allowed to kill whatever wildlife they want. It's actually a miracle this guy is that good at hockey, because he was named with a hunting professional in mind. Puck Daddy- At this point in his life, 43-year-old Jaromir Jagr isn’t just marching to his own drummer, but basically his own drum corps. He’ll play as long as he wants. He play wherever he feels like it (i.e. places with a lack of personal income tax). He’s Jaromir Friggin’ Jagr, and you’re not.
According to Blesk, a Czech tabloid, a model named Catherine from Moravia took a selfie in bed as Jagr slept next to her. The image had been making the rounds on Czech social media. Someone came across the photo, and had the bright idea to attempt to extort 50,000 crowns (or roughly $2,000 U.S.) from Jagr or else the photo would be released to the media. So the photo was shopped to the media, and on Sept. 17 Nova.cz published the altered photo that the blackmailer had been using as “proof” that they had the image, presumably the one presented to Jagr. Alas, there was one catch for this criminal mastermind: Jagr. Doesn’t Care. He literally told the blackmailer to do whatever he wanted with the photo. And so it hit the Czech media, and it was published in several European publications, and Jagr just keeps on Jagr'ing. It should be said that while Jagr is reportedly single, Catherine is reportedly not. According to several reports, she’s the girlfriend of Czech junior player Domink Rudl, who was born in 1996, by which time Jagr had already won two Stanley Cups and a scoring title. He also reportedly calls Jagr one of his idols, just in case this entire thing wasn't awkward enough. This story is so Jagr that it almost makes me wish that the New Jersey Devils didn't pull an absolute heist of the Florida Panthers by trading him at last year's deadline. Hey, you can't fault the attempt here. Most 43 year old men would probably care if people found out they were having sex with 18 year olds, even if they did happen to be smoking hot models. Well, whoopsie. Just so happened that whoever came across this photo didn't do their research. Jagr doesn't care that people know he is banging women that he could have easily fathered. Jagr doesn't care about tabloids. Jagr doesn't care about what people think about him. Jagr literally doesn't care about anything else except hockey. That's why he is single in his 40's, and thus virtually unbribable. With the amount of work that Jaromir Jagr puts into staying in shape as an elder statesman in the NHL he barely has any time for a relationship. That's why he satisfies that sexual need by banging out young, dumb Czech models. They require the least amount of time and effort to get in the sac, especially when the person trying to bed them happens to be one of the most famous people in the entire country. My only regret is that I wasn't present to see Jagr's classic smirk when this attempted extortion took place. He probably made some incredible sarcastic remark that the blackmailer didn't fully understand then cleared it up by saying "no really, I don't care". So if your Czech player Domink Rudl you got to be pretty psyched, right? At very least, he can't be upset. I mean, if your'e dating 18 year old models you are bound to get cheated on. Especially if you aren't of a significant amount of money or fame. If your girl was bound to cheat on you than doing so with your hero is pretty much the best case scenario. I mean, you never want another man laying hands on your woman, but being able to share a conquest with Jaromir Jagr should be the lifelong dream of any hockey player that respects the history of the game. If he were smart he would be throwing it in raw dog hoping some of that age defying magic rubs off. If I were this kid I would have that photo signed and framed on my nightstand. Having a hockey legend insert himself into this guy's girlfriend is like his biggest accomplishment in the sport thus far. We are talking top of the trophy case material. Plus, no one knew who Domink Rudl was before, and now we do. If that results even the slightest bit of notoriety and a bigger opportunity to progress in his hockey career then someone owes Jaromir Jagr a thank you, and it's not even the hot little slut that took some legendary dick. Never change Jags, never change.
NBC News- A transgender woman says she was delayed by TSA workers at Orlando International Airport who thought her body parts didn't match her gender identity.
Shadi Petosky, a writer and producer, tweeted about the ordeal over her anatomical "anomaly" as it happened, saying she missed her American Airlines flight on Monday due to the incident. "I stepped into the full body scanner, the TSA agent looked at me and pressed the F button," Petosky said in an interview with NBC News via text message. "The scanner picked up an 'anomaly' in my crotch area." "I said, 'I'm transgender. That's my penis,'" Petosky recalled. "The TSA officer then said something like, 'If you are a man, then go back in the machine and we'll run you as a man.'" Told by the agent that she needed to be run as a man or a woman, Petosky said she replied, "I'm transgender. I am a woman, but I have an atrophied penis, trying to make it kind of not a big deal." According to Petosky, the TSA officer replied, "If you don't want to be run as a man, we'll have to search you. Are you a man or a woman?" I am sure you have some kind of transgender policy. Do you have training in this?" Petosky recalled telling the agent. To which, he replied, "I know what I'm doing." Let me start off by telling a little story. Yesterday morning I was standing in line at Newark airport, waiting to go through security. I had gotten to the front and I was unloading my laptop, because, oh I don't know, that's what every idiot flying with a computer has had to do since 9/11? Anyway, I asked this TSA agent where the trays were because there were none in sight. She responded with a snarky, if not bitchy, "I told you that you didn't have to take anything out of your bag. I guess you just realllllly wanted to". Now it being 7AM on a Monday during football season, I responded with an equally sarcastic "Yup, totally wanted to take out all my fucking shit just to go through security. You're right". Now, if this were any other situation besides security at an airport I just may have been charged with a hate crime for putting this twat of an Asian woman in a sleeper hold and making her count the sheep that her uncle was inevitably going to put into my fried rice late last night. Alas, it wasn't, so I shut up, went through the metal detector, gathered my belongings, and went about my day. What's the point of this story? Well, the point of this story is that TSA agents don't just suck at dealing with transgenders, they suck at dealing with EVERYBODY. If identifying as a woman and having a penis is to be accepted in society, and I fully believe it should be, then this woman is just another average citizen that got inconvenienced at an airport. Welcome to our world hunny. It's a pain in the ass, but if you want to travel long distances in short amounts of time then it's necessary. Man, woman, transgender, it doesn't matter. Sometimes someone is going to go through your baggage. Sometimes someone is going to grab your junk. Sometimes someone is going to say something that you that might take offense to. What it comes down to is that when you go through security at an airport you are going to have to do some shit you don't want to do. It may be taking off your shoes when you aren't wearing socks, or it might be telling the TSA agent to run you as a man when you identify as a woman. Honestly, if all you have to do is subtly whisper that you are a man before getting scanned then you're probably doing better than 90% of bearded Muslim fellas trying to get to their next destination. Save me the sob story that you didn't want passerbys to know you have a penis, because you just willingly broadcasted that fact to all of Twitter through a series of about 42 tweets. In closing, transgenders should be open to all the experiences that the traditional 'man' and traditional 'woman' are, and when it comes to airports that experience is going to suck, nearly every single time. P.S. If you got caught up for 40 minutes at security and that caused you to miss your flight then you clearly didn't give yourself enough time at the airport. That's not some close minded TSA moron's fault, it is your own. Metro- The price of a drug used to treat AIDS and cancer patients has rocketed overnight.
The reason: A pharmaceutical company run by a former hedge fund manager raised the price of a tablet from $13.50 to $750. Daraprim is a 62-year-old drug used to treat those with weak immune systems, and also toxoplasmosis, a parasite infection that can cause serious problems for babies born to women who become infected during pregnancy. The drug was acquired by Pharmaceuticals back in August. They slapped a new price tag on it – and now specialists in the field of infectious disease are protesting. Earlier this month, the Infectious Diseases Society of America and the HIV Medicine Association sent a joint letter to Turing calling the price increase for Daraprim ‘unjustifiable for the medically vulnerable patient population’, reports the New York Times. But Turing founder Martin Shkreli, a 32-year-old former hedge fund manager, argues the drug is rarely used and will therefore not have a detrimental impact on health care. He told the newspaper: ‘This isn’t the greedy drug company trying to gouge patients, it is us trying to stay in business. ‘This is still one of the smallest pharmaceutical products in the world. It really doesn’t make sense to get any criticism for this.’ Listen, I am certainly not here to defend the honor of a former hedge fund manager turned pharmaceutical executive. In fact, I don't know this guy's past, but if his 5,500% increase on an AIDS/Cancer drug is any indication then he's probably very deserving of both AIDS and cancer. With that said, a drug that can cure AIDS and cancer probably should cost $750 dollars because it clearly has to be transported from 'Never Never Land' on the backs of flying unicorns. To clarify, a drug that effectively treats both of those deadly diseases does not exist. If it did, we wouldn't have to read this article to know the name of it. Pretty sure that would have been international news. In fact, if there were a $13 pill on the market that legitimately helped cancer patients eve a little bit I would have invested $100 into buying a few bottles just in case myself or a loved one happened to fall victim to that awful disease. If anything, this morally corrupt asshole did people a favor. He priced the people that were naive enough to think a $13 pill could cure their terminal disease out of the fraudulent medication market. That may not have been his intention, but it was absolute the result. This guy said it himself, he's just trying to stay in business, and I got to be honest, even though he is douchebag, I kind of believe him. Pushing the remedy to AIDS and cancer has to be a hard sell when the price tag is less than your average t-shirt. Say you go on E-Bay and see an autographed Drew Brees football going for $3. Do you assume it's the greatest deal in the history of transactions, or do you assume some shithead found a football in his backyard, scribbled some crap on it and threw it on an auction site? That's the exact same concept at hand. There is a huge difference between a bargain and a scam. Bottom line? Everyone can rest assured, because while it's never right to increase the price of something by $736.50, no one that is suffering from AIDS or cancer is worse for the wear without this placebo at their disposal. P.S. While I did just semi-defend him, I do need this guy with the terrible hair part to get some kind of illness. His picture just gave me douche chills so if he could at least get a really bad flu that would be fantastic. Hard To Fault Martavis Bryant's Financial Adviser For Trying To Steal His Money From Under His Nose9/22/2015 BSO- The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has permanently barred Dylan P. Grayson from acting as a broker or otherwise associating with firms that sell securities to the public.
On March 4, 2015, Grayson was fired from Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith after allegations that he used a client’s (Martavis Bryant of the Pittsburgh Steelers) credit card for personal expenses without authorization, handled a customer complaint without notifying the firm, and engaged in unapproved outside business activities. On June 2, 2015, it was reported on Grayson’s regulatory report that Martavis Bryant alleged that he did not authorize wire transfers to a third party vendor from September 2014 to January 2015 that were made by Dylan Grayson. Bryant alleged he incurred $7,000 in damages and Merrill Lynch settled the dispute for the same amount. On June 12, 2015, during the course of a FINRA investigation into allegations that Grayson used the credit card of Bryant to make purchases for his own personal benefit. Okay fine, so maybe that title is a littttttle misleading. You can definitely fault the guy, that is most likely getting paid far too much to tell Martavis Bryant not to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on bottles on champagne and 35 inch rims, for trying to make transactions from his client's bank account. There is no question that Dylan P. Grayson is a complete scumbag. However, if you are going to be the scumbag financial adviser that is well versed, relatively speaking, in white collar crime then Martavis Bryant is an excellent target. If there was no one asking Bryant whether or not he authorized a bunch of charges do you really think he would have any idea? He probably hasn't looked at his bank account since he signed his contract. Why would he? We are talking about the guy that got suspended four games while he was on the cusp of having a breakout season for failing to put down the bong during the offseason. Something tells me that kind of guy is more of a 'Cash-On-Delivery' kind of guy. I refuse to believe that someone that likes getting stoned that much is adding up the dollars per ounce to find out his monthly expenditures on narcotics. I don't necessarily know this from experience, but I would imagine there aren't too many drug dealers out there swiping credit cards. So unless Bryant is really good at keeping track of his cash (which I can't do after two beers, never mind a blunt), I would think that his memory would be a little cloudy, no pun intended, on his credit report. Honestly though, if you were Martavis Bryant, would you be keeping a close eye on your bank statement? I bet you wouldn't. Especially if you hired someone else to do it. Granted, he probably should have put him through a more thorough vetting process, but unlike Dylan, he did have the right intentions in mind. You don't want to do something then you pay someone else to. That's how being rich works. The crazy thing is that Grayson probably would have got away with it if he wasn't trying to extract $7,000 dollars like a greedy bastard. Guy is a financial advisor and knows nothing about banks. That's the real reason this idiot should be fired. Maybe $100 here, or a $100 there Dylan, but once you hit quadruple figures you're basically begging to get caught. Doesn't matter if your meal ticket is ripe for the pilfering, once you start broadcasting your identity theft you are bound to end up unemployed. Hope that 7K was worth losing a 100K salary. P.S. I think the biggest surprise of this whole story is that Bryant actually answered a phone call from an 800 number that he probably didn't recognize. You know how many times Visa had to call me back to make sure my charges were my own? That's an instant 'fuck you' button, especially if I am doing something super important like making dick jokes or sitting on the crapper.
The gall of Norries Wilson. I'll tell you, in all my years of not giving a fuck about what gets said at a press conference, I have never been as appalled as I am right now. Telling professional media members not to scream over one another? Making them attach their name and credentials to every stupid question they ask? Demanding respect for the man he's replacing by making a person refer to Kyle Flood by his job title? Refusing to expand on questions that he didn't know the answer to because he had yet to watch the game film? Commanding the room and answering every question asked of him instead of having a bunch of media members yell shit without raising their hand like the most chaotic third grade class in history? Who does this guy think he is? A Running Backs coach that was thrown into the fire of coaching in front of 100,000 people on three days notice? A man that is an Assistant Head Coach in name only because it makes the program look better when he takes over for the guy that got suspended for writing papers for a semi-literate student athlete that can't even pass 'Dance Appreciation' on his own? How dare he expect a bunch of headline hungry reporters to act like adults.
I can't believe that Norries Wilson wasn't completely receptive to earth shattering questions like "What was the day like?". Ryan from the 'Asbury Park Press' comin' in hot with that one. You almost have to try to come up with an inquiry that vague. What the fuck is the appropriate response to that? If I were Norries Wilson I would have told that entire room that I beat off 6 times that day to get rid of the game day jitters that i was experiencing from being forced into a position I wasn't fully prepared to handle. How's that for an answer Ryan. Hmm, let's see, any other great questions? Oh how about "are you having fun coaching the team that just lost by nearly four touchdowns?". Yes, Josh from the 'R Football Show, I am sure Norries is having a blast coaching a football team on Saturday when the actual coach is the one coaching them all week. I am sure he's like a kid in a candy store being the figurehead for a program in the midst of unprecedented turmoil. I am sure his promotion from worrying about 4-6 players to worrying about 100 players isn't at all overwhelming. I bet if you asked him before the season started if he wanted the entire starting secondary to get arrested, the All-Big Ten wide receiver to get suspended indefinitely for suplexing a woman, and the coach to get suspended for three games (but really just 3 days) just to give him a chance to run the team he would have gladly taken that trade off. I know it's hard to support for the New Jersey media to support the State University, but they shouldn't be surprised when a grown man in a precarious situation treats them like children when they asked childish questions. I am as big a supporter of Rutgers giving Hayden Rettig a chance to play as anyone, but if you didn't laugh when Norries Wilson responded to the question "Why didn't Hayden Rettig play?" with "Because I didn't put him in" then you probably need something dead removed from your ass. That answer alone just made me want to rip the interim tag away from current job description. One press conference and already more straight forward and honest than Kyle Flood has been in any presser since he has taken over the program. They say that the most popular person in a football program is the backup quarterback, and while that may be true, Rutgers backup Head Coach is a close, close second. There is a difference between being an optimistic fan and being a delusional idiot that is a glutton for punishment. That's why when I traveled the entire length of the country to attend a game in the middle of fucking nowhere Pennsyltucky I did so knowing that result would likely not end up being in my, and more importantly Rutgers, favor. I was fully aware that the 28-3 domination which I was "fortunate" enough to witness live was fairly likely even before kickoff. I'm not saying that made it suck less, but in actuality, it kind of did a little bit. Hey, you can't lose you entire secondary, your best player, and your head coach all within three weeks and compete with traditional powers in the Big Ten. It doesn't matter if the program is having a down year or not. They are still highly recruited kids playing against an inexperienced defense, an offense that doesn't have it's best weapon, and a coach that found out he was the coach three days prior. Those aren't excuses, they are facts, and they are facts that are going to make the rest of the Rutgers football season extremely hard to watch. This is especially true if they continue to trot out a starting quarterback that may have the mental capacity to play quarterback at the Division 1 level, but certainly doesn't have the physical ability. You think I want to hate on a kid that can't even drink legally? You think I want to root for him to suffer a minor injury? I don't. I really, really don't. So how about we just call a spade a spade and give Hayden Rettig a shot. I'm not saying he's Joe Montana. Shit, I'm not even saying he's Gary Nova. However, he is a kid that battled tooth and nail all through camp and finished in a dead heat to be the starting quarterback. He may falter just as much as Chris Laviano, but he won't falter because he can't throw the ball far enough or hard enough. There have been people clamoring that Laviano looked decent against Penn State. They'll throw out completion percentages and the fact that the offensive line failed to adequately block for him. That may be true, but I'll tell you this. A player that has been directly responsible for 4 turnovers (and it should probably be 6 if opposing secondaries spent 5 more minutes on the jugs machine) and one touchdown over two games is not playing decent. A quarterback that puts up 3 points against mediocre Penn State team is not playing decent. It's pretty easy to maintain a high completion percentage when 95% of your throws are no more than 10 yard downfield. Chris Laviano threw with such a low velocity that there are times when I thought I could have made a break on the ball from the 20th row of the stadium. That's not necessarily his fault, but it's an extremely noticeable downside. I respect Laviano for giving it his all, but at this point, it's doing the rest of the Rutgers team and fan base a disservice to not at least see what you have sitting on the bench. Obviously, the most popular player on a struggling team is always the backup quarterback. However, in a season surrounded with sooo much negativity, the sole glimmer of hope is a player that has proven he is just as deserving of an opportunity as the player that is currently pissing his opportunity down his leg. As Rutgers fans we have not had much, if anything, to celebrate over the course of the last month. At least give us a chance to see one of our non-incarcerated players perform, especially since the player in front of him has not done so to this point.
This kid may not have 'it', but just by looking at this picture I can say that if he doesn't then no one on this roster does...
Good News: The rumors of Drew Brees suffering a season ending shoulder injury are apparently not true.
Bad News: In regards to the Saints season, it probably doesn't matter. Yeah, I know, I probably should have started with the bad news, right? The problem here is that the best case scenario is still really, really shitty. Even if Drew Brees does play Sunday, which I would imagine is entirely possible given his proclivity to play through injury, he will still be less effective than he was for the first game and a half of this season. A game and a half where a fully healthy Drew Brees was unsuccessful in moving the ball and creating big plays down the field. That's obviously not all on him, considering the line's inability to block with any consistency and the receivers inability to create separation, but it's still a problem nonetheless. The fact of the matter is that Drew Brees probably should miss games. He's 36 years old. He's coming off a down year during which he battled injuries. The shoulder in question, which is clearly not even close to 100%, is the very same one that underwent a potential career ending surgery a decade ago. The best thing for the long term health of Drew Brees is undoubtedly to sit out for a few games and let his body recover to the best of it's abilities. On the other hand, the best thing for the Saints is to have Drew Brees, injured or not, taking snaps for an 0-2 team that is already unlikely to make the postseason. I think us Saints fans know that, for better or worse, Drew Brees has always valued the success of the team over his own well being. However, with the way things are trending, it looks like his passion to play when he probably shouldn't will be doing no one any favors. Can we get a live feed following around Drew Brees? I know that seems excessive, but it's the only way I am going to believe Sean Payton when he tries to blow a bunch of strawberry flavored smoke up my ass. Sean Payton saying that injury reports are inaccurate is like the CEO of Enron calling Bernie Madoff a criminal. When it comes to his player's health I don't trust Sean Payton as far as I could throw him. He could give a live press conference tomorrow saying that Drew Brees is starting on Sunday, and I wouldn't be fully convinced that he wasn't holding Brees detached right arm behind his back. Know who else was supposedly "just fine"? Jarius Byrd. Oh, you don't know who that is? Yeah, well, neither do Saints fans, because he's basically been MIA since like day two of training camp. You could tell me Jarius Byrd died a month ago and I wouldn't even be the least bit surprised. Meanwhile, Sean Payton has maintained that he's the picture of perfect health. Go figure. I am not going to be surprised by any of the pending results. You could tell me Drew Brees is starting against Carolina. You could tell me he's out two weeks. You could tell me he's out ten weeks. Either way, this Saints team looks destined for mediocrity at best. Putting aside my undying need to celebrate Saints wins on Sunday, maybe Drew should finally do what's best for an aging veteran quarterback who has had lingering health issues the last two years. With the way the rest of the team has been performing it looks like it's incredibly unlikely that it's going to matter anyway.
It's a bird. It's a plane. It's...it's...it's the hopes of every single Saints fan flying over a completely clueless member of their secondary only to crash land in the hands of, yet another, wide open Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver. No, but really, it is...
Well guys, it's been fun, except like not really at all. That's just one of those things you see in jest when you have high expectations for something and it finally happens and doesn't come anywhere close to living up to the hype. New Orleans Saints 2015 season, 2 games in and already over. Nothing but the formality of 14 completely gut wrenching games at this point. You want to say I am a pessimist? That's fair, but don't say that I am not a realist. Nothing is more of a reality check then losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers...at home...with their rookie quarterback...in a game that shouldn't even have been as close as it was. The Tampa Bay Bucs aren't a mediocre team. They aren't even a bad team. They are a really, really bad team that just stepped into what used to be an incredibly hard place to play and looked like Super Bowl contenders. I don't think I have ever seen a team come back from a loss this demoralizing.
Let's take emotions out of this. The offense stinks. The special teams stinks. The defense stinks just a little less. That might be the scariest part of this whole thing. In a season where the Saints are 0-2, their defense is, dare I say it, holding their own. Watching the Saints this season is like biting into a pickle expecting it to be a kosher dill and it turns out to be bread and butter. It's like the one consistently good part of the meal has somehow become unbearable. It's surprising, and surprising in the worst possible way. At least last year we stunk with an offense that was worth watching, that's far more entertaining then having to depend on a 'bend but don't break defense' to continue to give a hapless offense countless chances to redeem itself. The most depressing part of all of this is that we've already seen the best of Drew Brees. Unless someone surgically removed his right arm and attached Chad Pennington's at halftime then he is most definitely hurt, and while we don't know the actual extent, I think it's fair to say he won't be playing at 100% for the remainder of the year. I was actually a big supporter of the Jimmy Graham trade, but I guess that was before I realized that the revamped offensive (in EVERY sense of the word) line was going to be more focused on the postgame meal then protecting their franchise quarterback. That was before I realized that not even a Pro Bowl center could help this line become even a mildly capable run blocking unit. Seriously, I never thought I would see the day when a Sean Payton and Drew Brees led offense would become extremely difficult to watch, but alas, here we are. Here we are depending on a defense that thinks that penalty flags are a badge of honor. Here we are depending on terrible, terrible teams to somehow outsuck us just so the score looks mildly respectable. I don't recall ever feeling more indifferent to the outcome of a game than Sunday. The Buccaneers kept fumbling away a comfortable win, and the Saints offense kept squandering chance after chance to take advantage of it. It got to the point where I didn't even want the false confidence that an undeserved win would instill in me. If the NFL had any respect for itself at all they would've cut off the live feed to the game, because both teams did everything in their power to tarnish the reputation of the shield. How did we get here? How have I had a more enjoyable time watching every single team other than my own this season? How was I jealous of the FUCKING Jets last night? I should be excited to stick it to a Panthers team that looks less than formidable offensively, but I can't even count on the Saints to get a first down against an NFL quality defense. Hey, I'm still all in until the season is over, but my God is this team going to make it as hard as humanly possible to not fling myself off my balcony come Sunday afternoon. Maybe it's a good thing games start at 10AM on the West Coast. It'll give me a chance to start drinking early enough that I won't have to feel feelings until Monday. A Man Shot His Ex-Girlfriend, Her Boyfriend, And His Child, After She Threw A Dirty Diaper At Him9/18/2015 DailyMail- A Missouri man has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder after police in Kansas City said he shot dead his ex-girlfriend for hurling a diaper at him and then killed her toddler son and current boyfriend.
The victims in the September 8 slaughter have been identified by police as 17-year-old high school senior Bianca Fletcher, her 1-year-old son JoJo and her 18-year-old boyfriend Shannon Rollins Jr. Fletcher's 16-year-old brother, Brandon, was the one who discovered the three lifeless bodies after returning home from work just before 9.30pm last Tuesday. Court records cited by the station KCTV indicate that after gunning down the young woman, her son and her boyfriend, the 22-year-old picked up all the shell casings, showered several times and washed his hands with bleach. He later also sold the murder weapon, according to documents. Another witness told investigators that Nelson said to him: 'I did something bad. I did something I don’t think I can live with. I killed them. I killed them.' Let me drop this disclaimer really quick, It's never okay to shoot and kill three people, one being a toddler, just because you feel you've been disrespected. With that said, IF, and only IF, there were to be a time when it was okay, I think getting hit with a dirty diaper might just be it. Yeah, pulling a firearm and committing mass homicide is an irrational overreaction to a contentious situation, but the smell of baby shit is just as irrationally reprehensible. How can a woman underestimate an ex-boyfriend, and baby daddy, to this extent? She dated the guy. She has to know if he's the type to be walking around packing heat. She has to know if he's the type to take it over the line when he feels slighted. I don't even know what kind of person commits murder when he's been pelted with most appalling substance know to mankind, but maybe that's only because I have never been put in that position. Honestly, I can say that this murderer is a scumbag all I want, but if someone hit me with a fresh bag of baby poop and I was carrying I'm not so sure if I wouldn't have reacted in the exact same way. This is the reason why I don't want people legally bearing arms. Fuck the Constitution. If everyone had their very own pistol then every thrown diaper would end in premature death. That doesn't excuse this guy for taking the lives of three people, including an innocent child, but it kind of explains how it happens. Baby shit is dangerously close to biological warfare, so while I don't endorse his thought process, I can certainly understand why he saw it fit to draw his weapon. I guess what it boils down to is that there is no equal and opposite reaction to getting pegged with a dirty diaper. That's probably why the woman threw it in the first place, but it's also the reason her whole damn family met an early demise.
You see? That's why you get in the penalty box prior to throwing a hissy fit. Keep your abuse to that of the verbal variety until you get into an enclosed place where you can kick, punch, and throw whatever you want without reprimand. This guy tried to get fancy with his feet and, surprise surprise, he ended up making himself look like an asshole. Now he ruined his small time frame of being allowed to be mad. You can't fall down like a toddler learning to walk and get up pissed off. He wasted that moment. Now he has to laugh at himself. Now he just has to sit there while the whole crowd gets a chuckle at his expense. All because he wanted to kick the boards. Come on man. That's like 50% of the reason the game is played with a stick. So you can slam it against shit when you get irrationally furious at a referee for a penalty that was probably the right call anyway. Just make sure you do it better than this guy...
You know in '40 Year Old Virgin' when Paul Rudd's character decides to become celibate. Then then Seth Rogan's character basically says that there is three conversations that lead to being gay? Well, I wasn't even on the first conversation yet, and I think Adam Larsson just catapulted me straight to the third one. Am I gay now? Do I like men, or does this video of Adam Larsson transcend sexuality? Yeah, that's it. It's not a gay thing. It's not a bi-sexual thing. Some people are just goddamn beautiful and you have no choice to respect it. Let's hope that's the case because if I was wearing panties they would be fucking soaked.
Want to know how I know Adam Larsson's new contract is a flat out steal and that he is poised for greatness? Well for one, it takes defenseman longer to develop and Larsson has progressed every year he has been given significant playing time (suck it Deboer). However, more importantly than that, dude's confidence is at an all time high. You see him run his hand through his hair? They should have captioned this video "Love At First Sight", because it's straight out of the slow motion scene in every romantic comedy to ever hit the big screen. That's the swagger Devils fans have been waiting for. That's the swagger of a number one defenseman. You don't just arouse the entire internet with one 10 second clip of you on the links then hit the ice and not dominate the blue line. Look good, feel good, play good. He's got the first two down to a science, and the third is merely a formality. It's just a matter of time before Adam Larsson lives up to his draft position and solidifies a young defensive core that is built to become the strength of the team. I don't know if this half chub in my shorts is a testament to how flawlessly the sun gleams of Adam Larsson's picturesque Swedish skin, or how excited I am for hockey season. Let's go with the latter, because I don't think I am ready for the conversation that the former leads to. A Man And His Son Felt Sick After Some Hotel Coffee So naturally He Thinks It Was Laced With Meth9/18/2015 Yahoo- A Nebraska man believes he and his 2-year-old son were poisoned by a methamphetamine-tainted coffee maker at an Omaha hotel.
Travis and Amber Richard and their children spent Labor Day weekend in Omaha. He says he used the coffee maker and coffee package in their room on Sept. 6 and began to feel weird within 20 minutes of drinking the coffee. He says his son also took a sip and got sick on the drive back home to Pleasanton. Both sought medical treatment and are awaiting confirmation from tests. Omaha police are investigating the incident, but say theyt doubt the coffee maker was used to make meth. It's unclear whether a trace of the drug was left by someone using the coffee maker to hide meth. Listen Travis, I don't want to put a dent in your binge watching or anything, but it might be time to take a night off from 'Breaking Bad'. What's even going on in the world anymore? First, this guy thinks that In-N-Out sold him some meth tainted soda, and now we are just to assume that hotels in Nebraska have traces of hallucinogenics in their Keurigs? Whatever happened to feeling queasy and just assuming that the last meal that you had was poorly cooked. Hell, what happened to just feeling like shit period. Can't we just feel like shit anymore without being drugged? This guy sounds like every 21 year old girl that has ever had one too many drinks and claimed they were roofied. Just because you don't take care of yourself Travis doesn't mean that someone put something in your drink every time you are feeling less than stellar.You know what this guy probably felt minutes after drinking some mediocre quality coffee? The bubble guts. Do me a favor, and hit the shitter real quick before we go dropping allegations of foul play. Don't feed me this line that your kid got sick either. You know why your poor child got sick? I'm not an expert on this or anything, but I think it's probably because YOU GAVE A FUCKING 2 YEAR OLD A SIP OF COFFEE. Jesus, that poor guy's little heart was probably about to beat clean out of his chest and take off down the Lincoln Highway. How about you stop worrying about the hotel upholding their responsibility to the customer and focus on your responsibility to your child. You know, like not sending him into a cardiac arrest no more than 800 days into his life. Is misplacing meth a thing that happens a lot in Middle America? I have never met one so I don't know if meth users, in particular, are careless with their drugs. I would think that would be the exact opposite of the case. The way I have always viewed meth heads is that they were irresponsible when it came to literally everything else in life accept meth. When drugs mean that much to you then you don't accidentally leave them in a coffee machine in some podunk hotel. I bet 95% of users of methamphetamine are more likely to lose the teeth out their mouth, the drawers off their ass, and the shoes off their feet before they lose whatever drug paraphenalia they use to get high. Again, I could be totally off base here, but I like the chances of my theory being correct more than the chances of some average family in Nebraska accidentally ingesting meth from a coffee machine. JPP Thinking That Missing Two Fingers Won't Affect Him On The Football Field Is Absolute Lunacy9/17/2015
Yeah, I know that JPP is kind of kidding here, but is there any doubt that he thinks he will be the same caliber of player with 8.5 fingers that he was with 10 fingers? In a way, I can't blame him. He's already shown us his true colors. The person that doesn't realize how important an index finger and a thumb are to playing defensive end at the professional level is the same type of person that blows off two of his fingers lighting a firework when he hasn't even signed his franchise tag yet. I shouldn't expect logical opinions from someone that cost himself millions of dollars just to watch a bunch of bright lights explode in the sky.
Hey, if JPP says he doesn't need an index finger then what the hell are we waiting for? Might as well chop that other index finger off while we're at. That thing has been weighing him down off the line for years. Speaking of body parts that you don't need to sack a quarterback, why don't we just attach an M-80 to his dick and blast that 5 pound hog right off? Having the genitalia of a Ken doll is sure to increase his agility. You ever made a sack with your kidney JPP? I heard those are going for good money on the black market. Might make up for that money you pissed away trying to be pyromaniac on 4th of July. The funny thing is that I think that JPP really believes that the Giants are wronging him in some way. No bro, they just don't want to pay a shit ton of money to a person that lost a part of a part of his body that he used to earn that money in the first place. That's like being a foot model and running on hot coals the day before the shoot. It's like being a music producer and emulating Vincent Van Gogh. A football player asking when the last time an index finger earned him a sack, is like a porn star asking when the last time her lips earned her a money shot. I don't know if this statement was rhetorical or not, but if the question is how many times has JPP used his whole hand in the process of tackling someone, then the answer is all of them. All of the times. P.S. That hand is gross. Get this guy off the football field and onto the set of a horror movie before I lose my lunch. Metro- A woman whose best friend married her rapist has spoken out about her ordeal.
The victim, whose name we can’t publish, developed post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after the attack by Royal Army Medical Corps officer Daniel Howard. She was also shunned by her best friend April, who was Howard’s fiancée at the time, and lost her boyfriend to suicide in the wake of the attack. April had been her closest friend since university, and she was heartbroken by her reaction. ‘I was meant to be a bridesmaid at her wedding,’ she told the Mirror. ‘We were meant to have children at similar times and raise them together. I only said something in the first place to try to protect April. ‘I couldn’t have stood in church on her wedding day knowing what had happened and that it would most probably happen again.’ Howard was sentenced to seven years in prison last week for the attack which happened in February last year. He raped the woman, a professional woman now aged 26, at his home in Darlington, County Durham, after a group night out. Okay, let's agree to forget, just for a second, that the real story here is that a reprehensible piece of shit raped a woman. I think we can all agree that's fucked up beyond belief. With that said, man, these hoes ain't loyal. Actually, the real problem is that when it comes to their man, women can be very loyal. It's the people that don't have any interest in putting a penis inside them that they won't hesitate to stab directly in the back. This isn't even remotely close to being an isolated incident. You know how many times women facilitate sexual relations with their friend's ex-boyfriend? I can speak from experience when I say that it happens ALL THE TIME. They just take advantage of the fact that the brain of a man turns to thoughtless mush when it is presented with the offer of strange pussy. I wouldn't even be surprised if fucking over one their friends is actually one of the best well kept secrets for how to make a woman cum. Female friendships are just a ruse that give them a sounding board for their relationships woes until they finally find a man that will agree to settle down and they can ditch those miserable bitches for good. I have seen seasons of 'Entourage' that have lasted longer than two female BFF's. You think this broad was about value a clean conscience over an engagement ring? Fuck no. There is nothing more important to a woman than an engagement ring. Shit, the only reason they keep their friends around until the wedding is so they can flaunt that shiny fucker right in their single, lonely face as long as possible. So this broad's boyfriend raped her friend, big deal. That will just make it easier to cut ties with her once they move into their marital home. I guess the whole "marrying a rapist" thing is a little sketchy, but it's not the first time that a woman has ignored OBVIOUS warning signs in an attempt to beat their "friends" to the alter. Plus, love conquers all. In fact, it doesn't even have to be love, as long as it kind of resembles love and includes a quick, timely pregnancy. Fuck the mental health of the person this chick used to call a 'friend', if there is something that is second in importance to receiving an engagement ring then it's beating that ever present biological clock. It sucks that this woman had to go through all of this shit because her friend's husband is a complete scumbag, but let that be a lesson to her. If you want real friends, hang out with dudes. After his arrest he concocted a ‘ludicrous, cold-blooded and insulting’ story to pin the blame on his victim. The Sandhurst graduate claimed she had found one of his sex toys and used it to plant DNA evidence on herself, because she was jealous of his and April’s relationship. Absolutely ABSURD claim on the part of the defendant. The mental image of a woman digging through a FleshLight for excess semen to plant on herself is almost sooooo preposterous that I am forced to question it's validity. |
