http://www.sbnation.com/lookit/2014/11/12/7205889/seahawks-selling-watered-down-beer-century-link-field SBNation- Ever been to a game at CenturyLink Field and thought your beer didn't taste quite right? Your taste buds didn't deceive your ability to taste Buds, because it turns out the Seahawks have been watering down their beverages. Stella Artois: 5.0% advertised ABV 4.8% tested Bud Light: 4.2% advertised 3.9% tested Redhook Brewery No Equal: 5.2% advertised 4.8% tested Shocktop: 5.2% advertised 4.7% tested Bass Pale Ale: 5.1% advertised 4.5% tested Budweiser: 5.0% advertised 4.4% tested You know, .2%-.6% alcohol is pretty paltry in the grand scheme of things. That's not the infuriating part of this story. Stadium beers generally cost somewhere between $8.50-$10.00. That's why this is complete bullshit. You want to give me some watered down Bud Light and charge me $5 by all means. Not when I am basically paying a dollar per half a percent. That is downright unAmerican. Ticket prices for NFL games are already astronomical. Can't the average fan just drowned out the thought of dropping $200 a ticket for a 3 hour game with a beer that is worth it's weight in alcohol? Why does everything in professional sports have to be a scheme to bend the fans over the barrel? I understand the theory behind this, I suppose. Stadiums trying to limit the amount of alcohol related incidents. Unfortunately, this does no such thing. The only thing this accomplishes is giving the fan, who wants to casually enjoy a beer or two, an inferior product for an absurd price. Let's be rational here for a second. How many beers does even the most degenerate drinker purchase at games? Five? Maybe? That's a combined 2.5% alcohol. Not nearly enough to take a fan from rowdy to belligerent. The fact is the people that are going to get into scuffles are the people that walk into the building ready to fight. The dude that slammed a 6-er in the parking lot an hour before game time is prone to trouble, regardless if he drinks a 4.8% beer or a 5.2% beer inside. No one is getting drunk off $9 stadium beers alone. Seattle though? Of all places? I've been to Seattle. Great city. I want no part of it anytime other than summer. You think it is a coincidence that it has the highest suicide rate? Pretty sure it is cold and rainy every day from October through May. I would have to be hammered to enjoy a late fall or winter game there. They should ADD alcohol to the beers. The only thing worse than a drunk fan is an uncomfortable, disgruntled fan. They should give out free 5th's of scotch on the way in. You should have to reach a certain BAC upon entry just to make sure you are drunk enough to enjoy yourself. I guess this kind of means that Seattle definitely pumps in artificial crowd noise, right? A bunch of wet, cold motherfuckers drinking 4.8% beers aren't tipping any richter scales by themselves. Might as well serve up some twisted teas with extra ice. 12th woman maybe. Enjoy your Bud Light Lite. Are those Bud Light Limes? Losing respect for the city by the second….

http://www.tmz.com/2014/11/03/charles-grant-ex-super-bowl-champ-investigated-over-body-slam-allegedly-attacked-college-student/
TMZ- A former NFL lineman -- who now coaches college football -- is being investigated over footage that allegedly shows him body-slamming someone in the school gym ... TMZ Sports has learned. The man at the center of the investigation is Charles Grant -- a 2002 1st round NFL draft pick who won a Super Bowl with the New Orleans Saints in 2009. He's now the linebackers coach at Bowie State University in Maryland. Charles Grant will always hold a special place in heart regardless of what he does. In fact, every member of that 2009 Super Bowl Championship team will. Well, except maybe Darren Sharper. I am admittedly not a big rape guy. You can take the defensive end out the NFL, but you can't take the NFL out of the defensive end. You fuck with an absolute mammoth of a human being you kind of get what is coming to you. Definitely not right for Charles Grant to be wrestling players approximately a decade his junior, but is it that wrong? Do we really know what this kid did to warrant such a reaction? Grant gave him a chance to get out of it. He was pretty clear what the result would be if the student laid a hand on him. That kid is a football player? Come on man, ever shed a block in your life? Take a tackle a little better than that. That wasn't even that bad. He didn't swing at him. That was like when you do some dumb shit and your dad uses his old man strength to wrestle you to the ground. Kind of makes you realize you were an idiot for fucking with him in the first place. Charles Grant is a volunteer coach at Bowie State University. Not sure exactly what role he plays, but I guarantee it involves tough love and disciplining his players. Just business as usual. This video has very little context. It just makes it look like Grant had a fit of rage and took it out on a kid. Chances are it's exactly what this kid had coming to him. His friends, and likely teammates, didn't seem to be too concerned as they laughed in the background. Plus, can you really "fire" a volunteer coach? What did the last two games prove to us? Correction. What did the last two games prove to the rational fan. They proved that if the Devils are going to achieve even a modicum of success over the remaining 60+ games, the 42 million dollar man is going to have to earn every cent of it. The difference in play between Monday's game against the Bruins and last night's game against the Wild was nearly microscopic. The only difference was our goaltender stood on his head and covered some of the defensive gaffs. They still turned the puck over. They still got hemmed in their own end for extended periods of time. They still had glaring defensive breakdowns which, at one point, led to a partial 2-0 break. I know it's easy to look at the man that backstops this mediocre team and criticize his play. He had his fair share of softies. He has been the victim of some bad bounces. However, the reason he has played 16 straight games is he very clearly gives the Devils the best chance of winning. That was evident last night when he made three or four saves that were anything but ordinary. The game winner in Boston was inexcusable. Bryce "Charlie Brown" Salvador attempting to boot the puck throughout the uprights only to have it go right past him for an odd man rush was even more inexcusable. Had Cory not given up the 3rd goal the Devils still lose that game in anticlimactic fashion. Schneider remains the least of the Devils worries. He is not being crippled by the pressure of his first real shot at being a starting goaltender. He is being crippled by having an extremely average team in front of him. He is being crippled by the idea that he has to be perfect if he expects the Devils to pull out a victory. If anything, the criticism by fans is just piling on. Schneider has embraced his role with open arms, and has been the first person to take responsibility for his mistakes. If only the rest of the team was as forthright. Last night also proved that Peter Deboer is going to have quite the task at hand when he tries to explain inserting Salvador back into the lineup. Salvador singlehandedly made his mark on the Boston Bruins game. The mark I am referring to can only be referred to as a skid mark. His inability to be an NHL caliber player led to two goals against in about a 30 second span. I am not saying that rookie Seth Hegelson played a stellar brand of hockey last night. He made his mistakes and took a penalty as well. But he was a welcomed improvement over Salvador and even contributed an assist in his debut. The way I see it, his lack of playing time in the 3rd period was a precursor to him being replaced. I don't agree with it, but you can bet your ass we haven't seen the last of our captain. It was also clear that the injuries depleted this team. Cammalleri and Havlat were able to create more last night then the entire team did in the week prior. That's a good sign going forward with the return of Adam Henrique on the horizon. Elias inexplicably needed Havlat in the lineup to show some jump. Whatever works I guess. Although that is a scary thought with how injury prone Havlat has been throughout his career. Lastly, I'm a man, and a man admits when he is wrong. Jacob Josefson has been a delight to watch this year. He has far surpassed my expectations. Not difficult to do with how low the bar was set, but a pleasant surprise nonetheless. Ironically, the thing that this Saints team lacks most is finish. "Finish strong" has been mantra for a majority of the Sean Payton era and this team is completely void of it. Ugly starts, and uglier endings, have become too common place. None of that blame lay at the hands of Keenan Lewis. Lewis has been a consummate professional since touching down in his hometown of New Orleans. He takes pride in his ability, pride in his work ethic, and pride in his role on the team. Despite what could have been a concussion during a playoff game against the Eagles last year, he fought valiantly (to no avail) to remain in the game. This past Sunday he suffered a knee injury. Given the picture below, it would have been easy for Keenan to ask out of the game. Instead he limped his way back on to the field and continued to cover the best the 49ers had to offer. Did Lewis get beat for a well thrown touchdown earlier in the game? Yes. Did he let it effect him? No. While battling obvious shortcomings due to his injury he managed to successfully shut down his side of the field. While sporting a grapefruit sized knee cap he scoffed at the idea of being out for next week's game. He stated, "I'll be ready". Losing close games in the fashion they have is no coincidence. It's a lack of killer instinct. This Saints team still ranks above the rest of the NFC South based on talent alone. They are quite clearly better than every other team in the division on paper. Unfortunately, limping to a lackluster record and division championship is not what the goal of this team should be. This team was built to be a Super Bowl contender. Right now they are decidedly not, and it's lack of consistency and will are what's holding them back. Two things that Keenan Lewis has in droves.
http://detroit.cbslocal.com/2014/11/10/dez-bryant-acknowledges-he-partied-on-friday-while-in-london/
CBS- Many coaches say the trip to London is a business trip, but that appears not to be the case for the Cowboys’ WR Dez Bryant. Bryant acknowledged he did go out and party Friday night and broke curfew.
If there is a team in the NFL where you can get away with going out a couple nights prior to the game, it is the Dallas Cowboys. Let's be real, the person that runs that team is Jerry Jones. Half surprised pictures of Dez and Jerry doing blow off twin hookers haven't surfaced yet. Who cares if Jason Garrett enforced a curfew? Nothing he says matters. He probably told Jerry about the curfew and then Jerry patted him on the top of a head like a little boy and told him to go script the first 15 plays.
Did the Cowboys front office really expect Dez Bryant to go to another country and not party his dick off? The closest that guy has been to leaving the country is the Pro Bowl in Hawaii. Of course he went out. Who wouldn't go out? You made them fly to fucking London to play the Jaguars, of all teams, on a high school quality field. Doing body shots off a foreign broad was the only part of that weekend to look forward to. I probably would have went on a 36 hour bender then puked on Blake Bortles' shoes during the coin flip. Some teams just aren't worth getting a good night's rest. Seriously though. The NFL is all about parity, correct? They should make every single team that plays the Jaguars or Raiders play drunk. Like their only curfew is they can't be back before 4am. Make sure they are dry heaving on the field. That's how you give every team a chance. When a team plays Jacksonville at home they should ship them off to South Beach on Saturday night and pick them up and take them directly to the game Sunday morning. That's how you separate the contenders from the pretenders. If you can't beat the Jaguars after a couple cocktails then you deserve the loss. Pretty fucking funny that Dez just readily admitted that he went out. Like "yeah? so? you know we're playing the Jaguars, right?". The only reason this story isn't a big deal is because the Cowboys won, and the Cowboys won before they even took the field.
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-ball-dont-lie/ed-davis--after-lakers--first-win---charles--barkley---your-fat-a---can-eat-now-162953367.html
Yahoo Sports- "I'm going on a fast," the Hall of Famer said during TNT's telecast. "I'm not going to eat again until the Lakers win a game. I'm telling you — I'm not going to eat another meal until the Lakers win a game." Hallelujah! Let the big dog eat! Barkley can put down the vodka and water and grab himself a steak! Spare no expense Sir Charles, get yourself some sides and a dessert too! Get this man his calories! Wait, who is Ed Davis? He is verified on twitter. He must be important somehow, right? What's that you say? He plays for the Lakers? That doesn't seem right. I'm a pretty big basketball fan. I don't religiously watch Lakers games, but I fancy myself a fan of the sport. I think it took me until right now to realize that I know like four guys on the Lakers, and one of them is an asian dude from Harvard. How the mighty have fallen. The most noteworthy thing this Ed Davis character has done in his life is tweet that Chuck can eat again. Probably doubled his followers off that tweet alone. There is a lot of hostility in that tweet. Honestly , I don't understand it. If anything, Charles committing to a fast until the Lakers won was a vote of confidence. You think the 'Round Mound of Rebound' wanted to go two weeks without eating? He was rooting harder for a Lakers win than Ed Davis' own mother. In fact, she's probably a Clippers' fan at this point. She was probably catching up on the View last night. I can't imagine anyone, that doesn't have their appetite invested in the game, tuning in. I bet even China is only mere games away from losing it's Linsanity. Really with the dollar signs Eddie? I mean I know Charles ass is worth more as a commentator than yours is as a player, but come on. You can type 'ass' dude, I promise you won't get fined. On second thought, probably safe not to, Doubt your contract can handle that type of hit. http://gawker.com/alleged-bin-laden-shooter-osama-died-like-a-pussy-1656309368 Gawker- According to Robert O'Neill—the former Navy SEAL who claims he shot Osama bin Laden—the Al Qaeda leader "died like a pussy" and "knew that we were there to kill him." So the soldier who killed this country's sworn enemy in cold blood is a little rough around the edges. Can't say I didn't see that coming. Might not be the most politically correct way to say it, but it doesn't make it less true. I mean, you would think the guy that successfully committed a terrorist act against the most powerful nation in the world would be carrying some heavier stones. At least go out in a blaze of glory dude. Don't get me wrong, I am glad he didn't. Just a little bit pathetic to hide in the corner when you finally get confronted. Bin Laden is basically the dude in school that would talk a bunch of shit, then piss down his leg when push came to shove. The mental image of Osama sitting in a pool of his own fecal matter is one that definitely brings a smile to my face. The only way to accurately describe that is dying like a pussy. Hopefully this hero called him a pussy to his face before firing off three into his cranium. Heroes gonna Hero.
That settles it. The Saints lost yesterday because of the refs. A borderline offensive pass interference call on a Jimmy Graham hail mary was the only thing standing between this team being 4-5 or 5-4. It couldn't possibly have been an initial drive that consisted of three straight pass plays and a turnover. Defnitely wasn't the defense, or lack thereof, in the first half. No way a porous effort by Marques Colston, that was highlighted by a drop on a potential game breaking play, was responsible.How dare people blame a blatant case of time mismanagement at the end of the first half. How could we possibly fault our offensive mastermind head coach and our future Hall of Fame quarterback for an arrogant play call, and the resulting turnover, with time on the clock and timeouts in our pocket?
Here is a fact. A fact that Saints fans do not want to accept. The New Orleans Saints did not deserve to win the football game yesterday. Sean Payton's desire to be pass happy was the reason that the game started off miserably, went into halftime the same way, and ended in dismal fashion. I don't want to leave Drew Brees out either. The interception to end the half cannot happen. Winning quarterbacks do not throw that ball into triple coverage. Jimmy Graham could have been superhuman (he basically is) and he would have had no shot at that ball. Wnning teams do not make that play. We had time on the clock and timeouts in our pocket. Go figure the first time we actually have timeouts left at the end of the half and we don't take advantage of them.
I have seen Corey White getting eviscerated since that 4th and 10 play. Not sure if anyone was actually watching the same game, but that play was due to the failure of Kenny Vacarro. Regardless, If you had told me before the game started that the defense would hold the 49ers to three second half points I would have guaranteed a win.
There is no one source of blame. The coaches deserve some. The quarterback deserves some. The defense deserves some. I am not going to sit here and pout about an officials ruling on a hail mary. The game shouldn't have come to that. Good teams make plays when the game is on the line. In four out of five losses the Saints have given up a game tying or game winning drive. That's not winning football. Losing the turnover battle is not winning football. Refusing to be two dimensional offensively, while your running back is having success, is not winning football. Forgive me, If I put more value into a multitude of mistakes the Saints made, instead of 50/50 penalty call on a desperation play.
P.S. Was it a push off? Yes. Was it a flop? Yes. Did the defensive player get hurt? Yes. All three of those resulted in what the official saw. Just a freak play. Penalties are not usually called in that situation. However, upon first gaze I thought it was a penalty too. It's only upon slow motion review that you see Jimmy barely extends his arm. Tip your hat to the defender's sell job and move on to next week. The Saints didn't deserve this one.
I don't know. I honestly don't. Do you have a better explanation? Patrik Elias is an unquestioned leader of this team, whether he likes it or not. He is a player how knows what it takes to win. He has been there and done that. He is also no stranger to the slump. He has had a few in his career. However, none, to this point have resembled the one he is in right now.
It's not that Patrik isn't scoring, no one is. It's not that he is is struggling in one aspect of the game. He truly looks checked out. I have never seem him look so completely ambivalent to the game on both ends of the ice. He has been turning over the puck at an alarming rate. Elias has always been a creative playmaker. That style lends itself to turnovers. He is also a player that has gained a reputation of always making the smart play. That makes his turnovers back into his own zone somewhat of an anomaly. I have never seen him play so aimlessly and purposeless. Honesty, he looks lackadaisical. It would be one thing if he was gripping his stick too hard and it was causing him to make questionable decisions. It looks like he would rather be sitting on his couch gripping another stick. It's dangerous. Leaders have to lead by example. Elias looks like he needs to be put out to pasture while simultaneously being a player this team needs to rely on. I don't mean to pile on Elias. Honestly this blog would have been written earlier had he not gained so much clout over his years as a Devil. He has always had an aura of consistentcy and competitiveness around him. Unless, his talent has fallen off that much, that same same aura has not existed this year. I don't need him to always be the best player on the ice. He is most likely beyond that point of his career. However, the Devils, if they want to progress anywhere beyond mediocrity, need him to care and play diligently on both ends. This isn't a team that can overcome his current indifference. This isn't the Patrik Elias Devils fans have grown to love, and that, among other things, is currently costing this team valuable games. Now don't get me wrong. I am aware the Devils have been without a significant portion of their offensive firepower the last few games. They aren't the only team suffering from injuries. However, the architecture of the Devils team reveals one fatal flaw. They have no quality depth. That is a major problem in today's NHL. Almost every successful team has young guys that can step in and not miss a beat. They are missing that and it becomes blatantly obvious when the injury bug bites. With that said, this team sucks. I call it like I see it. I gave it the eye test. I know bad hockey when I see bad hockey. I refuse to sugar coat it because the guys playing poorly have the Devils emblem across their chest. The last two games have been painful to watch. Friday against the Blues was like deja vu from last year. Get a bunch of chances to start, fail to finish, run out of gas. Tonight Detroit made them look like an AHL team. This team lacks speed, youth, and the ability to create chances off talent alone. They are everything the Red Wings aren't. One major issue is that the players that are being paid like the best players have been invisible. Zajac, Elias (more on him next blog), and to a lesser extent, Greene, have been more a part of the problem than the solution. With three of our top playmakers out, the leaders of this team are going to have to show themselves on the ice. I don't care how much of a locker room presence they provide. That holds especially true for possibly the worst of the bunch, the captain, Bryce Salvador. I don't want to beat a dead horse. Honestly, as bad as he has been, he gets more flack than he deserves. Regardless, he is not capable of playing NHL hockey anymore. A lot of the guys gracing the ice for New Jersey aren't capable. That isn't an excuse. In fact, the guys that barely deserve a roster spot haven't been the ones drastically underperforming. I have stood by Pete Deboer as the coach of this team for a long time. I think I am starting to change my tune. Not because I don't think he is a good coach, but because I think this team needs a new voice. Honestly, Pete has been dealt a bad hand. No coach is coming in here and winning the Triple Crown with these horses. However, I would like to see some consistency. By that I do not mean a consistently bad penalty kill, or consistently turning the puck over, or consistently having major defensive breakdowns, or consistently getting stuck in our own end. After the mirage of a 3-0 start, this team has looked all sorts of bad. I really feel bad for Cory. I really do. Say what you want, but the guy has stretches where he stands on his head. He gives up a couple softies, like every goalie, but he kept the Devils in the game in the first period. Could have roughly been 73-1 in the first period. It's time to give Kinkaid a start. It's not fair to Cory to play him every single game, and it's not fair to Kinkaid to have to always come in as middle relief. At this point you are going to drive Schneider to suicide if he has to play every night in front of this merry band of misfits.
Anyway, the last two nights have been bad hockey. At least last year they were in almost every game and played a solid brand of hockey. They just couldn't finish. Now they still can't score and they are playing with the awareness of a blind person before his morning coffee. I am not quitting on this team. I am just starting to see them for what they are. An old, slow team that will need to undergo major changes to make the playoffs. P.S. Soooo Devils of them to make it a game last night after I stopped paying attention. Had it on in the background as I wrote a blog and all the sudden there is 4 goals in 5 minutes and it's a one goal game. Soooo Devils. http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/viral-catcall-video-recreated-new-zealand-article-1.2000115
NY Daily News- The New Zealand Herald filmed model Nicola Simpson walking around Auckland with a hidden camera to see how people reacted. The final product is worlds different from the viral video recorded in New York City. Oh, Jesus fucking Christ. It wasn't enough that the first catcall video painted all men as degenerate dicks? Now we have to narrow it down to only American men? Look at those assholes from New Zealand on their high horse being all appropriate and shit. Nothing from New Zealand should even count as the norm. Yeah, I had to look it up, but New Zealand is a little island country in the middle of fucking nowhere. They don't count as the general population. Fine, point the spotlight on America and New York. We're cool with that, that's where the spotlight belongs. However, don't try to act like a couple unprovoked compliments are the worst thing in the world. You know what happens when women go to Europe? They get kidnapped and sold into prostitution 100% of the the time. How do you think they keep making these 'Taken' movies? Would you rather be drugged up in a brothel or have some guy in a pimp suit tell you you look like a "thousand dollar bill"? I would be kind of psyched to be compared to a fictional form of currency. If you told me I looked like a $3 bill I would probably be skipping around the city like my shit don't stink. Don't think I didn't notice the difference in locations in these videos. The New York gal is basically parading throughout the drudges of society. Newsflash; anyone that walks past street dwellers is going to get heckled. It's New York. You want to live in the best city in the world you get what comes with the territory. Whether it be shitty sports teams, amazing pizza, high priced apartments, or a couple guys speaking out of turn. Next thing you know she'll be complaining about getting too many free drinks at the bar. New Yorker's are known for being brash, maybe adapt to the culture princess. Meanwhile this chick in New Zealand is basically walking down the equivalent of Rodeo Drive. I can't believe she didn't experience harassment walking amongst the white collar folk. Give me a break. She saw as many people in her entire video as the New York girl saw in about 15 seconds. Plus I think I would rather have a person creepily walk along side me than actually stop me and interrupt my day. I like how they said "ACTUAL model". Yeah that really makes a difference when she is slumming it with a loose fitting shirt and jeans, monster sunglasses, and a half bun. That's really the takeaway here. No one gets catcalled in a bun. Facts. You know how bad the Lakers are? The Lakers are so bad at basketball that even with the presence of a top 10 NBA player of all time they are still unwatchable. Remember when LeBron bolted for Miami because there weren't any pieces around him? This Lakers team makes that team look like the Dream Team. Kobe is a 5 time champion and has more money than God, and i genuinely feel bad for the amount of losing he is about to do. This makes Sir Charles the biggest Lakers fan in the world for the time being, right? I would root for anyone if I got hungry enough. Starve me for 12 hours and I would start rooting for ISIS to come a knockin'. Chuck is about to set out on a conquest with no end in sight. He might look like Steph Curry by the time the Lakers win a game. Chuck might not last without food, 'The Round Mound of Rebound' needs his nourishment. He might die from starvation, or go into a cardiac arrest after eating his first post-starvation meal. If my first meal is dinner, you can bet your ass I'm packing in breakfast and lunch with it. Never miss a meal. Just postpone it until the next time you eat. Can only imagine thats something that me and Chuck have in common. All I know is that we need Charles off television immediately. I can't have a non-happy-go-lucky Barkley. He strikes me as the most irritable man on the planet while on a liquid diet. That's a level of hangry these eyes have never witnessed. He'll go from the 'Jolly Green Giant' to the 'Hulk' by day two. Plus, I don't want to see him wither away before our very eyes. I know losing weight is the new fad recently, but Charles Barkley is where I draw the line. P.S. "I'm gonna drink water….and vodka." Absolute genius. Best way to get through something you don't want to do is be hammered drunk for it. Plus, if freshman year was any indication, you don't need much vodka on an empty stomach.
Jeremy Hill Says The Browns Are Worse Than He Thought After Getting Dismantled By The Browns11/7/2014 http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/rookie-jeremy-hill-says-browns--worse-than-i-thought--after-bengals-blowout-154640204.html
Yahoo Sports- Cincinnati Bengals rookie running back Jeremy Hill was asked if theCleveland Browns, who whipped his Bengals 24-3 on Thursday night, were better than he thought. Hill said, um, no. Come on dude. Take the loss like a man. No one wants to admit that they got beat by a better team. It's wired into our DNA as men. However, you can't pull the 'they didn't win the game, we lost it' card after losing by three touchdowns. The Bengals weren't a field goal away from winning. They were an entire roster, 14 AJ Green drops, and a non-ginger quarterback away from winning. Plus, saying that your opponent isn't good is just admitting that you are way worse than that. At least if you wax poetic about the Browns you can still linger in mediocrity. Once you say the Browns suck you are basically counting yourself as one of the NFL's worst. "They won the game, that's all I'll give them". Look how gracious Jeremy is. Takes a real man to admit that a team, that just murdered his team on national television, won. Did Hill give it to them, or did they just take it? Semantics I suppose. According to Hill, The Browns didn't do anything special. Pretty impressive win for just being average. Can't wait to see what they got when they really open up the playbook. Probably take a Super Bowl berth to impress Hill. He has very high standards, just not for himself or his team. http://www.tmz.com/2014/11/07/jameis-winston-allegations-point-shaving-louisville-chris-rabb/ TMZ- New reports have surfaced alleging Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston was involved in a point shaving scheme to help an old high school teammate win a $5,000 bet. According to the report, Winston tanked the 1st half of the FSU vs. Louisville game on October 30th ... after his buddy Chris Rabb allegedly placed a bet for Louisville to be winning at halftime. There is no way this is a true story. Not because Jameis Winston is a really good guy and would never shave points. I'm not here to speak on Winston's moral compass. That's a charge even his priest would plead the fifth on. I simply don't believe it's real because Jameis is too damn stupid to lose intentionally. If he tanked a football game on purpose there is no way he could make it look nearly as good (bad) as the first half against Louisville looked. The ability to intentionally be bad while giving the illusion that you are trying takes the ability to think. You think Winston just walked into the locker room at halftime and flipped a switch. There is no switch, it's pure darkness up there. Literally the only thing that Jameis Winston is good at is winning. He can't even process anything else. I'm pretty sure he can't even add the scores up. Probably has no idea what a touchdown is worth.They just tell him on the sidelines to keep scoring. Say this is true, wouldn't it be like way easier to just bet on Florida State. The halftime line was Louisville +1. Couldn't you just tell the former Heisman winner to be winning at halftime? Worst fucking friend ever. There is a 0% chance of me helping my friend win a bet if he bets against me. Can we just think about how little sense that makes? If Jameis Winston has complete and total control of the score then bet on him and tell him to go win by 100. Seriously, if this is actually true then the biggest criminal here is Winston's high school friend for being a shithead. They say some athletes surround themselves with the wrong people. The friend that puts all his money against you is a first class example of that. Might as well be a dunce cap... http://www.edmontonsun.com/2014/11/04/ohlers-sorry-after-sending-sexually-charged-messages-to-women-on-tinder
Edmonton Sun- Two junior hockey players are backpedaling after their private discussions with women were made public Monday night through social media. The discussions, which appear to take place on popular matchmaking mobile app Tinder, included explicit comments by Ontario Hockey League players Greg Betzold and Jake Marchment. First of all, 15 games for abusive language on Tinder? Lets reel it in a bit. I know we are in an age when anything that can be considered harassment is deemed a big deal. Rightfully so. However, they got a little butt hurt and talked a little shit, they didn't threaten their lives. Plus, tinder shouldn't count. If people could get fired, or suspended, from their jobs for being inappropriate on tinder we definitely wouldn't have a weak job market. Truthfully, girls on tinder aren't even people. By the same token, guys on tinder aren't real people. It's not a 'dating site'. It's a mildly entertaining way to pass the time, and occasionally try to hook up if the mood suits you. If these girls were really upset they could have just blocked them after the first message. With that said, these two guys are idiots. The reason why tinder is a place where inappropriate conversations take place is because guys can hide behind a computer screen. Kind of hard to find out who someone is based on a few pictures, a first name, and an age. So yeah, all the off limits, fucked up thoughts of a guy occasionally 'creep' up on the app. This doesn't apply when you start bragging about your credentials. While saying I play in the 'O' is quite the line, it is supposed to be used as a pickup line, not a put down line. It also makes you readily accessible if you manage to offend someone. You're no longer Jake from 9 miles away, you are Jake Marchment from the Belleville Blues. I am not going to sit here and say I wheel with the best of them, but Jesus are some of these lines cringeworthy. Just take the loss and move on to the next match dude. You can't try to sleep with a chick then call her an ugly dirt ball when she refuses. She may very well be an ugly dirt ball, but you lost that right when you willingly wanted to stick your penis in her. Greg does understand the irony in getting turned down and then assuming the same girl will be selling her body after graduation, right? In all honesty, those are some hurt egos talking. What did they really expect though? It's tinder, not a prostitution ring. Maybe use a clever line or two before just straight up offering her your manhood. The reason these two shouldn't be punished is because these conversations going viral are punishment enough. Just flat out embarrassing. I know some of you may not be familiar with the culture of a hockey locker room, but these guys are going to get abused. Don't get me wrong, I would probably use the fact that I was drafted into the NHL as a line too. However, maybe we should use a little humility considering you were a 6th round pick. You have as good a chance of bagging this girl's groceries as you do of gracing her television screen. Plus you'll never make it into the L with that F- game. If were being real, the use of the word 'cunt' is what got these guys suspended. Still not completely sure why it's so much more offensive then every other degrading insult, but damn is it fun to say. P.S. "a pure bread dumb stupid cunt" is laugh out loud funny. I don't need you to sound like Shakespeare when you are chirping, but maybe don't come off like a 2nd grader.
These people at "Skin Deep" are clearly the worst people ever. Only two ways you get people into that room to discuss a question like this. You either flat out lie to them, or you find people that are looking for an easy way out of their relationship. If I was put in this position I would have looked straight down and instantly ran out of the room before making eye contact with my hypothetical significant other. Even then it is too late. The goal is to never ask that question. It's basically the same situation as the 'what's your number' conversation. Don't ask, don't tell. Ignorance is bliss. However, once someone says it, or brings it up, the cat is out of the bag.
Really though, all you need to see is the look on the person's face in the first half second after the question is asked and you have your answer. That's why this video, as fucked up as it is, is amazing. Just a total mixed bag. The losers who have only had one sexual partner (of course they agreed to this), the people that are flat out lying, the people that try to talk their way around the question. They are all gold. Let's go through a couple of the best.. - "Do I have to answer that? Oh Jeez. What was the question again?" Actually, no you don't, you already did. -The lesbians. Pure honesty. Just killin' the box game. Probably used to a bunch of small dicked dudes at half mass before finding the joy of women. God bless 'em. - "You are the sexiest, most profound, lover I have ever met." Meh, what about the times you didn't love the girl? Lord knows we don't love them hoes. Pretty good answer for someone that is completely full of shit. Respect. - "Let me think about this, it's a lot to think about..." Dude, have you been in a relationship for 2 minutes? Grow up. You answer right away and say yes. We're men, we suck at thinking. - "I've had girls that have given me better head than you" is never getting a blow job again. Better find a new soulmate bro. That dick is desert dry for the foreseeable future. - "Everything is a blur before you". Yeah, I'm sure it was a blur when the college football team was running Amtrak on that ass. Was your vision blurry when your face was stuffed into the pillow after one too many pomegranate martinis? - "Every other boyfriend I have had was just like 'oh gawwwwd, can't they just jerk off in the bathroom'". Dude, find a new girlfriend. She sucks at lying and sweet Jesus she is annoying. Plus, you are about 2 months from being asked to go jerk it in the bathroom. Needs to be sent to the glue factory immediately. - "Sex isn't just about the physicality of it." Tell that to my penis. Next… - When the gay dude starts babbling about emotions I think his lover is a half second from putting a switchblade through his esophagus. Good thing they cut the camera. - The flat out "no" is soooo disrespectful I want to go to prison for this guy. Emasculation x 1000. Listen, the truth is that a very small percentage of people end up with their best sexual partner. That's a good thing. The girl you bring home from the bar that will do ANYTHING is not proposal worthy. Generally speaking, a man's best sex is the craziest girl he's ever slept with. It is good NOT to be that girl. I am sure it works the same way for girls. The guy carrying the tripod around town has probably slung that thing around a large enough radius to be considered an unfit life partner. Bottomline: Avoid the question at all costs. http://elitedaily.com/news/world/boyfriend-builds-furniture-proposal/838760/
Elite Daily- But no matter how creative, very few seem to capture the individuality and personality of the relationship. They’re all filled with sweeping gestures and red roses and universal symbols of love. But every couple is different, so how their love is expressed should be different with every proposal. That’s why this proposal video is my new favorite. It’s genuine and not the least bit presumptuous. Contrary to popular belief, I am not completely against the grand romantic gesture. I can respect this. I can barely piece together a desk chair that has instructions. Instructions that come with numbered steps, lettered pieces, and illustrations. It is basically the adult equivalent of a coloring book and I still become enraged after 5 minutes. So yeah, I respect Tim 'The Tool Man' Taylor 'whipping up' an armoire like a boss. Probably took him the better part of the year. My problem with this is where does he go from here? This broad would have married him if he threw the ring at her feet and said "what'd ya think?". She saw a goddamn piece of wood and went into hysterics. Don't need to use your fastball on this one you ol' southpaw. The ring was enough. Can't go back now bud. You set the precedent too high. You think you can just buy her a bullshit box of chocolates on Valenetine's Day now? She knows your capabilities. Better start building that house she'll be expecting by the one year anniversary. Just wait until the relationship goes stale and she pulls the "remember when you loved me so much that you built me an armoire" gig. Enjoy the "what happened to us" conversation. As you will soon learn, it is not the gift that keeps on giving. She will love that piece of furniture up until the next time you tell her to relax.. How dumb is this girl by the way? Did she think it was just her lucky day? That her boyfriend built her an armoire from scratch, and filled it with all her favorite things, on a whim? This had proposal written all over it. There is about 10-12 close friends and family members video taping this whole scene. Why would anyone do that if all it was was the presentation of a piece of furniture? If I was that girl I would have asked where the ring was by the second drawer. In fact, if this wasn't a proposal then that girl would have every right to flip the fuck out. That's how obvious the end game was here. P.S. I'm going desk shopping next week, anyone want to come tape the experience? No ring, but I guess I'll pay for lunch. And now, some great proposals…just for the hell of it... http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2014/11/watch_drive_approaches_suspicious_roadblock_on_turnpike_zooms_away_as_man_approaches_vehicle.html
NJ.com- Ivan Tukhtin encountered something rather unusual early Monday morning on his way home from Hoboken. The 24-year-old was driving on the Newark Bay Extension of the New Jersey Turnpike in Jersey City just after midnight, when he noticed two orange traffic cones blocking both lanes and a car pulled over on the shoulder. This scenario looks vaguely familiar. Oh yeah, that's right, it's the opening scene of every 'Criminal Minds' ever made. Listen, I consider myself somewhat of a good samaritan. I'll hold the door open. Help an old lady cross the street. Grab a cat from a tree. However, when it comes to the roadways, it's every man for himself. The only chance this guy would have of me stopping is if he was engulfed in flames. Even then I would probably just tell him to stop, drop, and roll. Your car, your problem. Especially when you look like you are trying to recreate 'I Know What You Did Last Summer'. I am sure there are some people out there, the vast minority, that would have stopped to help this guy. To them I say, pay it forward my ass. This ain't a movie dawg. Shit, even if it is, it certainly doesn't have a happy ending. As much of an aspiring actor as I am, I'll pass on the lead role in the live screening of 'Saw VII'. Risk versus reward. Best case scenario you stop and keep the guy company while he waits for someone that can actually help. Pretty sure the guy that carries his own traffic cones knows way more about vehicle maintenance than I do. You're in Jersey dude. We can barely fill our own gas tanks, never mind revive your whip. Worst, and more likely, case they find one of your body parts in every county. Fuck this guy everyday and twice on Sunday. Last thing I need to cap off my 12 hour 'brunch' is an ass pillaging. Even if there was a road hazard ahead, I would rather drive into the world's biggest sinkhole than take my chances with the Grim Reaper of the turnpike. Let's say this guy had all the good intentions in the world. Yeah, it's beyond a stretch, but for argument's sake. He certainly did this best to make himself look like a serial killer. This might have actually been filmed for television, that's how good he played the psychopath killer role. The slow walk into the street. The slow turn back to the front of the car. Hoodie up, hands in pockets. I am shocked this kid waited as long as he did. I said "aww fuck no, DRIVE!!!" out loud the first time I watched this. I would have sped up on sight and took out every ounce of those cones. That really begs the question, if this guy really wanted people to stop, why didn't he have like 6 cones. I've maneuvered past more properly orchestrated road blocks when the cops were guarding them. If you're going to go full blown Jason Voorhees at least commit to it. P.S. There's a special place in hell for whoever made these memes. I mean, I still laughed, but at least I didn't think of them…. Two Minnesota High School Girls Disqualified From State For Carrying Opponent Over The Finish Line11/5/2014 http://elitedaily.com/news/world/runners-disqualified-for-helping-third-girl/838548/
Elite Daily- Two Minnesota high schoolers forfeited their chances of winning a state-level cross country race after helping a third across the finish line. True competition is dead. Everyone is too damn nice now. How far were these girls from the finish line? Fifty meters? Finish the race then go back and get her. Friend of a runner my ass. There's no friends on the field of play. Show me some killer instinct one time ladies. How long could this race possibly be? It's not like she broke her leg. She wasn't going to die. She said it herself, she fell down and it wasn't good. Well no shit it's not good, no part of running involves falling down. How about you stand up and fucking walk it off. Perseverance, ever heard of it Jessica. The title of this video is incredibly misleading. It calls this a good deed. This isn't a good deed. All they taught this girl was to quit. To embrace failure. I bet her coach and her parents told her she did a great job afterwards. Hopefully the cross country coach rips these girls a new one. He'll probably get fired by the school. Can't even get his girls to finish the race in a timely manner without being self righteous philanthropists. Good deeds don't win championships ladies, figure it out. Did you hear the girl in this interview? "It means I accomplished my goal of competing at state and doing well". That is one sentence and I see three blatant problems with it. They include 'accomplished', 'competing', and 'doing well'. She literally did none of these. Once you have to be scarped off the grass by another person you give up the right to say you competed in, or accomplished, anything. Nevermind doing well. Only in 2014 can failure be a feel good story. At least it wasn't snowing I guess... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2822006/Red-Star-Belgrade-TV-presenter-Katarina-Sreckovic-ordered-away-pitch-area-attractive-players-complained-couldn-t-concentrate-presence.html Daily Mail- A TV football presenter says she was told to leave the side of the pitch on a number of occasions because she was distracting the players by being too attractive. Katarina Sreckovic, who hosts a show about Serbia's Red Star Belgrade, told how players initially struggled to answer her questions because the young men couldn't concentrate in her presence. Fucking soccer players always crying about something. Diving over blades of grass. Acting like they have been shot at the thought of contact. Whining about sideline reporters that are too attractive. Cry me a river. While you sit there making millions and are required to talk to beautiful foreign women, some of us are dealing with real problems. For instance, getting a woman that gorgeous to talk to us. I know for a fact soccer player's aren't distracted by beautiful women. I watched the World Cup. The crowd looked a Brazilian version of Mardi Gras. I have never experienced so many unexpected breast sightings in my life. It's a shock any males in attendance even knew what the score was. It was like hedonism moved to a crowded sports venue. If an absolute dime piece roaming the sidelines gets the players all hot and bothered then they better start taping it to their leg. I don't know if this a new concept in Europe, but sideline reporters are supposed to be hot. It's like the number one requirement of the job. Americans have been 'suffering' with this for years. If you are in need of some advice, ask Tristan Thompson how to handle it... One thing is for certain. She is too hot to be reporting European soccer. She should be over in the greatest country in the world. She should be whispering sweet foreign nothings to me through my television screen. I don't need her to know anything about hockey or football. Just satisfy my sweet tooth and continue to be the eye candy that you are.
In reality, this is probably just a bunch of soccer players that are trying to make a run at her. Pretty sure it's frowned upon to do so while she is reporting their games. Give her a compliment and make her available. Killing two birds with one stone. Can't say soccer players are soft when Katrina is on the sidelines. P.S. If this blog sucks it's because I got distracted by...uh…well... |
