Happy Labor Day

Perhaps Mark has a college football post in the works, but I'm not sure, so let this poorly chosen clip serve as a placeholder until something better comes along (hopefully)...

d-train said...: you guys playin' any golf this wkd? please do, and if not, give a buck or two to foldsofhonor.com
a good cause....remember when i was in oklahoma a few months back - well was meeting w/major dan rooney who you'll see all over the tv this wkd if you haven't already - he teed it up with 43 this morning in Waco...good peeps and a good cause, plus he hired our company due to some serious schlepping skills...get'r done; 12:37 PM, September 03, 2010
Mark said...: I'm efforting a CFB post, but "work" keeps getting in the way. Total bullshit, I know.; 1:17 PM, September 03, 2010
T.J. said...: d-train, that website has been tweeted.; 1:40 PM, September 03, 2010
d-train said...: excellent. cheers.; 1:47 PM, September 03, 2010
T.J. said...: Norv Turner Overdrive was...mediocre.

But everyone once in awhile Norv stuck to the bass guitar and let Jerry rock it on the mic. That's when they made their sweetest music.; 2:26 PM, September 03, 2010
Clarence said...: Ike Turner Overdrive could really beat that drum.; 4:03 PM, September 03, 2010
Greg said...: EAT THE CAKE ANNA MAY!!!; 4:21 PM, September 03, 2010
zman said...: Not like the Nat Turner Overdrive though.; 4:21 PM, September 03, 2010
Clarence said...: Sir Isaac Newton, the father of modern science immortalized in The Sounds of Science, "never married and is believed to have been asexual, being highly engrossed in his studies and work."

In his next life, he returned as a co-ed at The College of William & Mary.; 4:24 PM, September 03, 2010
rob said...: your william & mary wrens play @ uva, @ richmond, @ syracuse, and @ unc this season. wooooo, doggie.; 4:43 PM, September 03, 2010
rob said...: here's the whole ooc schedule: http://bit.ly/btfUN6; 4:44 PM, September 03, 2010
Clarence said...: Also around the tri-corner...

Researchers: Williamsburg colonists buried pets
A finding from the College of William and Mary may change attitudes about how colonists treated their pets.

Laboratory analysis at the college has found that some bone fragments recovered this summer in unmarked graves on campus belonged not to humans but to dogs, buried two centuries ago.

The finding is apparently unprecedented. Colonists were not previously known to have buried their pets in formal graves.

In other news, the College of William & Mary has cut the Archaeology program after realizing what they are spending their time doing.; 4:56 PM, September 03, 2010
Clarence said...: As Geoff mentioned, Malcolm Kelly injured his hamstring. Again. And now he's on IR, done for the year.

It seems he tore his hammy, or as Redskins.com writer Gary Fitzgerald wrote on the website:

"Mike Shanahan indicated that Kelly had teared his hamstring early in camp.

Really? He teared his hamstring? Was that on the same play when McNabb throwed him the ball and he falled down? For fuck's sake, man. Maybe on Chester Douchebuckle's 5th grade Skins Fan Club blog, that'll slide, but on the Redskins' official site? That really maked me wonder.; 5:14 PM, September 03, 2010
Dave said...: this pet thing sounds fishy. if the graves were unmarked, then who cares? it's hot and humid in williamsburg-- you're not going to let a dog rot and fester in the sun, you're going to bury it. so what? i do not think this warrants a news story.

and if you haven't been to "sentence of dave" today, you'll find plenty of other stuff that doesn't deserve to be in print.; 5:36 PM, September 03, 2010
d-train said...: MAKES me wonder Igor...MAKES; 5:51 PM, September 03, 2010
zman said...: Yeah, what are your options for dead pet disposal other than burial? Cremation? Dinner? Nail it to your friend's door?; 9:46 PM, September 03, 2010
Squeaky said...: Zman, definitely option D. Nail it to the door! While hurling various pieces of fruit at it.; 7:13 AM, September 04, 2010
Mark said...: I concur. Nailing it to the door is definitely the way to go...; 9:07 AM, September 04, 2010
zman said...: Five legitimate articles in the past 37 days from Bill Simmons? That's just about one a week! I guess he reads the comments at G:TB and got motivated to actually write again instead of just casting pods.

Speaking of which, I'm surprised no one has cast a pod here recently. Another recurring bit bites the dust.; 9:16 AM, September 04, 2010
d-train said...: okay...just did a little pruning in the yard. my wife will never have me do that again which was my aim. i'm off to swim for a spell. when i return, i do expect to have our cfb post. thank you.; 9:48 AM, September 04, 2010
zman said...: If you're buying a car and trying to figure out whether or not to pony up the extra cash for xenon headlights, don't do it. You need a Ph.D. in electrical engineering to replace the bulb. Which cost about $180 each. I am bitter.; 10:26 AM, September 04, 2010
mayhugh said...: Whatever preview you have coming, you may want to grab Geoff's input on Desmond Howard's suit-shirt-tie ensemble. He looks like an absolute dandy. In a good way.; 11:32 AM, September 04, 2010
T.J. said...: Heading over shortly to Jerome's Sports Cave for multiple tv cfb viewing fun.

mayhugh said...: TJ - I'll see you in the car.

-Milhouse; 11:35 AM, September 04, 2010
T.J. said...: Somewhere Jerry is smirking because the Lions just cut cock-blocker extraordinaire Jon Jansen.; 11:35 AM, September 04, 2010
mayhugh said...: Big and Rich very prevalent on GameDay. Is this 2004?; 11:38 AM, September 04, 2010
d-train said...: miami of ohio...wow -did you guys see the fake punt?

if things stay as is, it will be a very poor start to the wagering season.; 12:46 PM, September 04, 2010
d-train said...: the teej - would love to. not sure it would be worth the homelessness though.; 12:47 PM, September 04, 2010
T.J. said...: This Serbia/Croatia game is absurd.; 12:52 PM, September 04, 2010

d-train said...: the first rb&v of the season has been poured.; 2:58 PM, September 04, 2010
T.J. said...: Tribe game, 330, CSNE on DirecTV.; 3:06 PM, September 04, 2010
d-train said...: yeah, i'm all over the tribe game.

the biggest improvement thus far, early in this nd game, is brian kelly's attire. no 4X hoody sweatshirt with matching pants. nice job bk.; 3:57 PM, September 04, 2010
zman said...: The Cardinals cut Matt Leinart in favor of Derek Anderson. Crazy.; 4:03 PM, September 04, 2010
T.J. said...: Irish!!!!; 4:10 PM, September 04, 2010
d-train said...: nice nice drive. spread it all over the place.; 4:15 PM, September 04, 2010
d-train said...: seriously folks...texting & driving....what's up with that?; 4:23 PM, September 04, 2010
rob said...: nervous time for the teej and d-train; 6:16 PM, September 04, 2010
d-train said...: yes - it was almost another ulcer inducing game. should have never been so.

a nice slate of baw game this evening.

should we send out a search party for mark? so unlike him. i'm worried sick.; 7:04 PM, September 04, 2010
Clarence said...: Tribe loses to UMass? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot...

I'm at the ODU/Jacksonville game. College football rules.; 7:09 PM, September 04, 2010
d-train said...: igor...that's not college football. just sayin.; 7:56 PM, September 04, 2010

Geoff said...: Jesse Palmer's picture can be found in my hope chest.

The girl who just handed the replay headset to the ref at the Georgia Dome needs to try a new shampoo.; 8:16 PM, September 04, 2010
d-train said...: it make me feel warm & fuzzy knowing someone else here has a hope chest.; 8:26 PM, September 04, 2010

d-train said...: i keep mine in the dollhouse, under the floorboards.; 8:35 PM, September 04, 2010
Geoff said...: Beavers on top. Like the sound of that Robert Flores.; 8:39 PM, September 04, 2010
Geoff said...: Show of hands: Who thinks VTech is going to beat the bag out of Boise St?; 8:41 PM, September 04, 2010
Geoff said...: It kind of looks like the TCU players made their own uniforms.; 8:47 PM, September 04, 2010
Geoff said...: Couldn't figure out where TJ is tonight...then I just realized that Bill & Ted's is on HBO right now.; 8:51 PM, September 04, 2010
d-train said...: geoff - i hope you're right about vt...but i don't see them winning.

the lack of visibility between the teej, and mark, of all days, is disappointing. i may have to cancel my subscription to this site.

on a fitness note - no more training. why? well, skechers shape-ups of course. getchyaself some.; 8:56 PM, September 04, 2010
Geoff said...: Shape ups aren't just effective...they also look sharp.

Mark is on the twitter machine tonight...but can't make time for G:TB apparently.

I don't know much about much, but I think that thing on Beamer's neck is more than Boise St. can handle.; 8:59 PM, September 04, 2010
d-train said...: what is mark's twitter machine handle? i love finding new people to follow on the twitter machine.; 9:02 PM, September 04, 2010
Geoff said...: Mike London and the Cavaqueers are getting it done...ish...; 9:02 PM, September 04, 2010
Geoff said...: @bugdust11 But you probably could have guessed that...; 9:04 PM, September 04, 2010
d-train said...: i think that game was closer than score indicates...looks like another great yr for the spidey's....and another turrible one for the who's. ya gotta take the good w/the bad.

and who woulda thunk robert gibbs was such a big fball freak? he's a war eagle and all over the twitter machine. i bet he was fun to hang out w/in college.; 9:07 PM, September 04, 2010
Geoff said...: The Redskins 53 man roster is now available. Ijust carefully reviewed it. Immediately takeaways: receiving corps is old, but at least they're slow; the secondary could be a real shitshow; O-line will be much better.; 9:08 PM, September 04, 2010
Geoff said...: Yeah, by all accounts Gibbs is a good dude.

If I was in a band, our new album would be called Illegal Touching.; 9:11 PM, September 04, 2010

d-train said...: sorry but i like'em. baby jesus designed them.; 9:23 PM, September 04, 2010
Geoff said...: I find that the drunk driving ads where the window rolls down and alcohol comes pouring out make me want a drink. Is this indicative of a problem?; 9:24 PM, September 04, 2010
d-train said...: is there anyone else out there that think pouncey is caught up in a point shaving scheme?; 9:25 PM, September 04, 2010
d-train said...: geoff - only if you don't want to drink.

i thought about that commercial for about 10 min today...that's a lot of effort and $ to make a little 30-sec commercial. they need to be on an episode of "how'd they do that?"; 9:27 PM, September 04, 2010
Geoff said...: Yeah, I spent some time thinking about which car I'd want to be in and I picked the martini...because if I got bored I could swim around and eat all the olives.; 9:29 PM, September 04, 2010
d-train said...: speaking of drinking, and b/c i still find it fulfilling to talk about alcohol intake, i've emptied 4 bottles thus far....they were all leftovers from last season and needed to take care of some housecleaning prior to the season's ligger run. a vodka, 2 bourbon's, and a cap'ns...i AM an ironman.; 9:32 PM, September 04, 2010

Geoff said...: Whats the worst school academically in the SEC? Is it Miss St? LSU? There's a lot of competition for that honor.; 9:35 PM, September 04, 2010
d-train said...: very nice, but you have it backwards. the kids should have polished off the springbank so they could sleep through your football fandom.
