Local washed up clown says “no thanks” to career rebirth

 

 

Every other game through the end of the season besides Houston at DC (Monday night) in Week 6 and Seattle at Arlington (Friday night) in Week 7 is going to be on Saturday or Sunday so we should get a much better feel for the markets in question. 

It's football. If it's on, I watch it.

Not buyin' it, the Packers punched a ticket to the playoffs almost every year, which is about all you can ask of an NFL team. People seriously retconned Favre and Rodgers into bad quarterbacks because they were personally annoying. We don't get to pretend that Aaron Rodgers was Actually Bad the whole time and holding back the entire organization just because he does a Barstool-adjacent podcast. Sorry!

I don’t care about what Favre and Rodgers did or said off the field and making the playoffs every year hasn’t stopped people from calling the 91-2005 Braves underachievers.

its quarterback, not it is quarterback.  

He's a sports writer, expecting proper English is too much for him. 

I can't think of a team that wasted generational talent more than the 1992-2021 Green Bay Packers. You had two Hall of Fame quarterbacks along with having so many playmakers on both sides of the ball you'd think they would be more accomplished than two titles in 30 years.

Washington continuing the tradition of signing mehbodies*
 

*- they aren’t “nobodies”, but they’re all certainly middle of the pack players.

I'd say it's at least a better strategy than assembling the All-Star Team of 5 seasons prior. 

Only explanation I can think of is that this stadium had the cheapest lease. 

Orlando isn’t going to win a single game all year and a lot of it is because they lack any sense of organization.

In all seriousness, a dangerous substance can affect different people in different ways.

 

"Seth" can be exposed heavily to a given substance and then go through life without ever being prone to any addiction, having any behavioral issue, or undergoing any colorectal trouble ... but he would suffer a bout of brain cancer that kills him at a saddeningly young age.

 

Meanwhile, "Cain" can be exposed to the exact same substance at all of the exact same times, at all of the exact same places, and under all of the exact same conditions, and he ends up never suffering from brain cancer and, in fact, lives to a later-than-normal age ... but he would find himself struggling constantly with addictions, tendencies toward antisocial behaviors, and colorectal disorders throughout a life that proves to be long in a (mentally and physically) painful way.

Makes me wonder what happened to Abel.

And yeah, even before the extent of CTE was known, there was a general idea that players who played a game where they got hit in the head repeatedly over 20-30 years (from childhood-high school) might go on to have brain issues. Sort of like how it would make sense that inhaling smoke is probably bad for your lungs. 
 

Then again, if AstroTurf kept the original name of ChemGrass, the association between it and brain cancer would’ve probably been publicized far sooner.

You're right, this is a very serious topic. But, sometimes we can all use a bit of levity. 

Here's another story involving George Brett's ass.

Crap - my bad.  It was Ken Brett, not George Brett.  Ken did play for the Royals during the 1980 WS.

All good. Considering what a world-class A-hole George Brett is, I wish it was him sometimes. 

Aside from George Brett being very much still alive and making a drunken ass of himself in every restaurant here, I've always wondered about why so many players from the multipurpose era wound up getting brain cancer. Considering how much AstroTurf proliferated, there's too high of an incidence to be a coincidence. 

I’d say DC is the exception to the rule, but that would mean that I’d have to consider the Commies an NFL organization and I’m having a very hard time doing that. 

Off the top of my head, I found this interesting: Since Andy Reid became the head coach of the Eagles in 1999 and then head coach of the Chiefs in 2013, when the two teams played each other, the team with Andy Reid as head coach is unbeaten. A month late with that bit of info but, :censored: it, better late than never.

Putting the fear of dairy aside, I don't know why he's rated so high by draft experts. He's been largely average in his time at Kentucky and I know Mahomes didn't have a great college career himself, but their styles of play look pretty different. I'm seeing people place Levis in the top five(!) of the 2023 draft and morons like Mel Kiper claiming he'll be a "game changer." I just don't see it... and I don't know if I will.

I guess we don't see it because we don't have careers that rely on finding the hidden gem in the pile of sheisse and thus proving how good you are at finding talent whether it's for ESPN or some other hot take factory like Bleacher Report or SBNation. 

Considering that these leagues are basically creations of the TV networks to fill programming slots? They'll last as long as they want it to last. These leagues should really be treated more like TV shows than previous spring leagues. 

What a wuss.

BYU & San Diego State would be my picks but we know the Cougars won't be joining anytime as in never. 

BYU is joining the Big XII on July 1st of this year. It took at least a decade to convince them to join a conference period, I doubt they're going to just up and jump to the Pac 12 without a bunch of money the Pac-12 doesn't have. 

Listen. Lava may be bad and hot now, but it’ll make great soil down the line. Ergo, if we want more farmland to grow more food, we should increase the supply of lava across the lands of this country. 
 

And if you want to make America Great, we need food security first and foremost!

Not McCall but I am a Missourian. I’m proud to be where I’m from and you can take your condescending compassion and shove it where the sun doesn’t shine.

Rejected Carolina Panthers prototype with goddamn stretch marks running up its neck

 

It's a good way to relate to the fans considering half of them have stretch marks already. And that's just the men.
