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.

  2. That's going to hurt his HOF credentials.

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

  3. 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.

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

  5. I bet Franco Harris is involved somehow.

  7. 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.

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

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  11. 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.

  12. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  13. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Agreed. No AK needed...yet.

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

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

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

  19. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  20. 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.

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

    ReplyDelete
  22. 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.

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

    ReplyDelete
  24. 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.

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

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

  27. TR's son sounds fun.

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

    ReplyDelete
  28. Me thinks the Teej is confused

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

    ReplyDelete
  30. 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.

  31. 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.

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

    ReplyDelete
  33. Nice win. You should be proud.

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

  36. Had to be an L88 or some other super rarity.
