Patience Is A Virtue/Saturday College Basketball Open Thread

While we all eagerly await Day 12 of Gheorghemas, I thought I would post this video I found of Rob.  I'm not sure if he is trying to have sex with this cat or just playing.  Enjoy...



In totally unrelated news, it should be noted that the NY Football Jets had quite a day.  As was pointed out in the comments yesterday, Kellen Winslow was charged with possession of synthetic marijuana after a witness reported that he was in his Caddy treating his body like an amusement park.  From the gumshoe squad at the NY Post:
According to the report, when cops approached Winslow, he said he was looking for a Boston Market, but couldn’t find it. When police approached Winslow went from “slouched in his seat and moving around” to an upright position. His genitals were not exposed, but officers saw “two open containers of Vaseline on his center console.”
Sounds perfectly innocent to me.  Who doesn't need to get their nads all lubed up before enjoying some fast food rotisserie chicken and creamed spinach?

Not to be outdone by his semi-aroused, quasi-stoned, poultry loving tight end, Jets quarterback Geno Smith apparently went the full Alec Baldwin and got himself kicked off a Virgin America flight for refusing to turn off his cell phone after (maybe) fighting with ticket agents about getting his seat assignment.  

Anybody think Rex Ryan may regret taking that contract extension?


Finally, the Tribal cagers take on the slobbering hell hounds of Jimmy Madison U around 4 PM at the Tribedome in Williamsburg.  W&M is favored by 7.5.  As always bet against Rob's selection.

Darren Sharper. All these thugs going to bad schools. Wait a minute.

Marls said...

That's going to hurt his HOF credentials.

In all seriousness, innocent until proven guilty, but if guilty there is no place bad enough.

Marls said...

Interestingly, the arrest rates for NFL players is actually a lot lower than that of the general US population for males in their early to mid 20's. In fact, some studies nave noted that basketball and baseball both tent to have higher arrest rates than the NFL.

I'm sure the Z-man can do some math stuff to explain all this.

Mark said...

Well, duh. Basketball players=thugs. Everybody knows that.

zman said...

I bet Franco Harris is involved somehow.

Immaculate deception.

Just paid $175 for my kid to play tball this spring. Seriously folks, what's up with that?

Danimal said...

I take it TJQuinn is a runner/tri-guy? Saw his story on ultra runners today. 4 locals including all-time baddest female are as we speak running a 135 miler in Brazil.

Clarence said...

Z, I'm listening to an advance copy of English Oceans. Early opinion: A++

zman said...

Excellent. They will be in VA/DC/NY/Boston in March ...

Clarence said...

Rob, they're in Richmond March 15. Puts a kink in things. Damn them.

rob said...

that is kinky, clarence.

as far as the wrens, until they prove they can smoke teams they should smoke at home, i can't in good conscience recommend giving that many points.

Mark said...

Volleyball tournament is over. Kid got second place. More importantly there was a go kart track across from the gym. Hit that bitch up for a few laps. Go Karts remain fucking awesome.

zman said...

So today you ate at Bojangles and drove go-karts in Florida? Assuming you didn't have to use your AK, today was a good day.

Mark said...

Agreed. No AK needed...yet.

rob said...

tribe by 18 at the half. like i called it.

Mark said...

I generally think Adidas does an awful job with alternate unis but the ones Kansas is wearing today are fresh.

Mark said...

How many people watching Pitt-Cuse don't realize or aren't thinking about it being an ACC game? Most of them, right?

T.J. said...

It's so stupid that they're in the ACC.

TR said...

My son is playing in an indoor soccer tourney today. He scored a goal and did an impromptu Aaron Rodgers championship belt celebration. Brought the house down in the gym. I was a proud dad.

TR said...

A kick-ass 7 y/o first grade girl was at the same tourney. I struck up a conversation w/ her dad. She plays on three diff teams across northern NJ and does a clinic once a week. Dad also told me her detailed scoring stats from the fall.

No way he's pushing her. And no way she gets burned out.

zman said...

I would not realize its an ACC game unless the arena floor said ACC on it.

zman said...

Re: NFL vs NBA and MLB arrests, it's probably because you have to be 21 to play in the NFL so NFLers probably got their stupid arrests out of the way while in college while NBA/MLB players can be drunken 19 year old idiots while in the league.

zman said...

The Trellis is getting national mileage out of their add in W&M hall.

T.J. said...

If Marls is talking percentages, of course the NFL has the lowest "rate" of arrests. There are 53 dudes on a roster, vs 12 in NBA and 25 in baseball. But do we have a figure for "total" arrests? Id be much more curious to see that stat.

zman said...

I think you have your logic reversed. Unless you're suggesting that the n is too small in the NBA to get meaningful rates.

zman said...

Tribal Dancers y'all!

T.J. said...

I do. But you slow down with that "n" talk and the NBA, sir. This ain't FOX News.

Mark said...

AHL

Mark said...

TR's son sounds fun.

TJ- am I correct in assuming you're a big Tyler Ennis fan? Because I am.

Marls said...

Me thinks the Teej is confused

T.J. said...

Yes, I flubbed math. Already said that. And I would father Tyler Ennis' child, that's how enamored I am.

T.J. said...

Teej Ennis.

zman said...

Marls and zwoman have a big wager on this St Johns/Dartmouth game. If zwoman loses she has to shave her head. If marls loses he has to grow hair.

Danimal said...

Anyone watching the Barrett. Jackson auto auction? It's on natl geo if interested. I want to attend this someday. I hear from the locals there it's a must.

rob said...

if you had the tribe -21...you won!

Danimal said...

Nice win. You should be proud.

zman said...

If you like Barrett Jackson you should check out chasing classic cars on the velocity network.

Danimal said...

A '68 corvette, 100% original.....800k.

zman said...

Had to be an L88 or some other super rarity.

Danimal said...

An L88 it was.

Mark said...

Whoa. Bye Serena.

TR said...

Ana Ivanovic seems nice.

Marls said...

Stupid St. John's. I wanted to grow hair again.

Marls said...

On my head that is...my ears and nose have picked up the slack in recent years.
