I'm going to assume this happened because of the [DFO] Mock Draft, because this never comes up (heh) after Sexy Friday. Quite the user requests, from only the finest online "phramacies". Such inventive screen names too, with descending interest of values. The only thing that surprised me was that they didn't

And you know what that means, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeuNckmt7h8 Welcome again to another Saturday night, where we celebrate JJ Watt getting what DeShaun Watson has so far been denied. Of course, we are still just barely into the offseason, so there is plenty of time for other events to occur before the new league year starts

Fifty-seven years ago today, John F. Kennedy visited San Antonio & Houston. He gave some speeches & was reported to have had a generally wonderful time. He retired for the evening in Fort Worth, Texas, and expected to give some more speeches after a comfortable ride in an open-air car

It's funny that Halloween was last Saturday, because one of my old story topics is making a return appearance to an NFL roster. That's right, 41 year-old Josh McCown is getting the phone call he wasn't waiting for to return to the league. The Texans have apparently signed him to be

The fact that I now know this means Seamus is still trying to inflict his musical stylings on me from beyond the grave: Apparently, it's a "thing" for newbie idiot Green Day listeners to tweet at Billie Joe Armstrong on October 1st. Because September ended. GET IT?! (h/t Cracked) https://youtu.be/R1JXYgwwDeY Of course,

I want to share with you two of the best stories I read this week, both of which appeal to my vile nature. The first is from Scotland. A father named Pete Robson, starting in 1992, set himself the task of buying his son a bottle of 18 year-old Macallan every

Well, it's the final weekend of the summer. As an "essential service", it's back into the actual classroom. You've no doubt heard stories in your own region about people freaking out about cohort groups, expanded bubbles and COVID clusters. We have them here too. And while most of my colleagues

It's just been a crappy start to the summer so far. Nothing terrible has happened to me so far, but the weather hasn't exactly been...summer. If there had been a baseball season, I would have lost 1/3 of the games so far to rainouts or cloudy & cold knocking down crowds. But

You know those situations that you confront on a daily basis? The ones that, upon reflection, had you made a different choice, would not be following you years, even decades later? Well, I made one of those terrible, unfortunate errors this week that I may not be able to go

I think today has marked the first "real" day back from the depth of the COVID-19 scare. Sure, there were a whole bunch of people in Tulsa ignoring black history in their quest to suckle at the teat of a sentient orange-hued McDonald's patty. https://twitter.com/RobertKlemko/status/1274352557956247556 And there were other problems in the world

I was bored thinking of something to type up for tonight's Open Thread, so I fell down a YouTube rabbit hole on Friday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTwq1_9VH68&t=60s When the sidebar gave me something I didn't know I needed to watch at that moment, https://youtu.be/HNNU8yv5sDw Which then led to at least something Saturday night related, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLLbv9sXEGI Because while looking up

It's Saturday night, so you know what that means?! Cartoons! https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3uq1b8 Okay look - there's not a lot on these days. So I figured, why not go deep down some rabbit hole & find a historical artifact that, when viewed with today's eyes, seems wildly out of place, and the act of just
