You know him better as Wheelhouse Jerry, the guy who had such a week in late November that no one had heard from him since. Or something like that. His three TV set-up is perfect for sports viewing, so I'm headed over there for today's NFL playoff action (and whatever else finds its way to the other two TVs - college hoops, stoopid soccer, awesome darts, confusing Australian football, you name it). Because I am a lazy bum, I have chosen two video clips to represent our games today. No predictions from me, just hoping the games are 69% as good as last Saturday's fare.
Baltimore Ravens @ Pittsburgh Steelers, 4:30 kickoff
Three and a half hours of two teams beating the piss out of each other. Banging heads (or helmets), if you will...
Green Bay Packers @ Atlanta Falcons, 8:00 kickoff
I was gonna throw up the "Do you like making f**k Bezerker" clip for Greg, but I felt we had enough metal above. Instead, the thought process went like this: "Falcons...playoffs...wait, wasn't MC Hammer on the sideline back in their Glanville/90s run...oh yeah...."
Anyone else watching all of these good early cbb games?
ReplyDeleteYou know Mustapha Farrakhan likes to split white oak.
ReplyDeleteMy tattoo artist threw out his back last night. Which means my appointment for my new huge rib tattoo has been postponed until next weekend. I'm super bitter about this development as I've been eagerly anticipating this new tattoo since before Xmas. Bummer. On the bright side, I won't miss the first half of Steelers-Ravens...and I can get drunk earlier than anticipated.
ReplyDeleteIs this new tat a surprise? Or will you be sharing with the class?
ReplyDeleteYou guys got room on the couch for one more?
ReplyDeleteAnd I really hope Mark means that he is getting a tattoo OF a huge rib.
ReplyDeleteCome on by Mayhugh. I'm buying funyons.
ReplyDeleteI'm at work right now, may have enough juice to make it for the late game.
ReplyDeleteIt's a really large (will run from just below my armpit to my waist) script "E" that will look like it's stitched/embroidered. Future wife's name is Erika, thus the large "E". It's going to be pretty pretty painful and I'd psyched myself up for it ( and was pretty psyched for it). Now I have to wait another week. Crap.
ReplyDeleteWeird. That will match my right rib Erika Eleniak tattoo. Her work in "Under Siege" had a real effect on me.
ReplyDeleteMayhugh- I'm getting a rack of ribs tattooed on my back with a side of potato salad.
ReplyDeleteI hope ur rib tat is the scene where Erika Eleniak is coming out of the bday cake...
ReplyDeleteYou know it.
ReplyDeleteRegarding your weird comment TJ, there's nothing normal about covering your body in tattoos.
ReplyDeletePhase I of competitive eating weekend completed successfully. I threw down the tsunami in well under 15 minutes to make the wall of fame. Yes it was taped. Yes I feel gross. Yes I threw up outside. No, the vomiting wasn't caught on tape.
ReplyDeleteyou may want to consult igor regarding the wisdom of tattooing a woman's name - or part thereof - on your body. and the cost of removing/disguising it.
ReplyDeletePotpourri -
ReplyDelete-To steal one of Simmons' gimmicks, Erika Eleniak is in the "Short Haired, Big Breasted Pinups of the Early 90's Who Only Got Work Because They Were Short Haired and Big Breasted" Hall of Fame. Christy Swanson is the charter member.
-Congrats TR, may the joy you feel for finishing the Tsunami outweigh the shame you feel for finishing the Tsunami.
-I generally agree with Rob's tattoo-of-a-girl's-name comment, though Mark could later claim the "E" meant any assortment of other neat things if necessary.
-Somebody give me a synopsis of the game thus far.
Boring but chippy.
ReplyDeleteGet your ass to Mars!!!
Well, this is interesting...
ReplyDeleteNice job tr. That's a good Monday post.
ReplyDeleteU guys aren't playing butt darts over there r ya?
Settle down chief...
ReplyDeleteDid someone shoot Tomlin full of tranquilizers? He looks dazed.
ReplyDeleteJust got done writing a rough term paper at Swem.
ReplyDeleteThat must be one of those inside jokes
ReplyDeleteThey have libraries at William and Mary danimal. They're big buildings with books...
ReplyDeleteHalftime at sportscave is watching Bolton Wanderers and googling the atrocious field goal kicking at Heinz Field.
ReplyDeleteI've considered the point about the lack of wisdom in getting something related to a significant other tattooed on you. With that in mind, my tattoo guy and I already have a could different words we could transition into. If need be. I'm dumb. Not dumb enough to not have a parachute though.
ReplyDeleteConsideration of cost went out the window with regards to my tattoo love affair long, long ago.
I dont care who wins this game, but I would at least like to see Pittsburgh get back into it.
ReplyDeleteSecond.
ReplyDeleteThe Ravens are good at tackling.
ReplyDeleteThe Steelers look awful.
ReplyDeleteMark - is the wifey going to get a big "M" tattoo? If not, I see who wears the pants...
ReplyDeleteWish granted.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm...where oh where would a nice "M" tat go on a lady?
ReplyDeleteIf the Jets lose, Rex Ryan is going to get Wes Welker's foot tattooed on his left cheek.
ReplyDeleteIs it just me or does Ed Reed look like he's 50?
ReplyDeleteThis epic collapse has some wheels...
ReplyDeleteAccording to some very mean guy on twitter, if the Ravens lose Ed Reed is jumping in the Allegheny.
ReplyDeleteI've seen better looking men than Terrell Suggs.
ReplyDeleteHoly Hell. Bluebloods is STILL on the air. I know it's not the first time I've expressed surprise over this.
ReplyDeleteTeej, I'm fading fast, probably watching the remainder of this evening's activities from my compound.
Good game....can't see charm city wining twice in pitt
ReplyDeleteSo who watches Hawaii 5oh?
ReplyDeleteSo I guess Joe Flacco isn't an elite QB yet.
ReplyDeleteSam Koch says a change is gonna come.
ReplyDeleteOnce Flacco is flushed out of the pocket, there's a 50% chance something bad is going to happen. And a 30% chance that something REALLy bad is going to happen. He'd be elite if he could just stand in the pocket for 5 or 6 seconds every time.
ReplyDeletei'm not in agreement with that holding call.
ReplyDeleteTerrible holding call. Future wife has my intials on her neck. Sucker. Though, my initials are MPH, she could turn it into a road sign.
ReplyDeleteMayhugh, it is amazing Blue Bloods moved from a Friday to a Wednesday...unprecedented to move that direction in a TV schedule.
ReplyDeleteHoly shit, that was an amazing throw.
ReplyDeleteWoooooooooooooooooooooooow
ReplyDeleteum, the catch was good too...
ReplyDeleteI didn't even notice it moved up in the week. I think I need to take in another episode just to see if it has dug itself out of the unwatchable zone.
ReplyDeleteAnd how does that WR get behind 6 DB's?
Um, why throw on 1st?
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying the Stadium Music. Crazy Train, BLack Betty. Good stuff.
ReplyDeleteActually just one effort dierdork
ReplyDeleteThat squib kickoff is not what they wanted.
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell is Flacco doing?
ReplyDeleteA large share of the blame for this loss falls on Flacco. Not elite. Not even that close, really.
ReplyDeleteThough Houshmandzadeh kind of choked there. Bad hands, didn't come back to the ball.
ReplyDeleteWell, the Ravens 2nd half proved to be epically worse than the Steelers 1st half.
ReplyDeleteI've always been indifferent on Dierdorf, but tangential to one of Danimal's comments, did I hear him say that the Ravens cost themselves 2 touchdowns on the holding call and then the Bolden drop? Because those happened on the same series.
ReplyDeleteJared Allen - already dropping F-bombs. I'm more excited for this game than I was expecting.
ReplyDeleteNever throw it to the guy named TJ when the game is on the line.
ReplyDeleteI really could've caught that. Freddie Mitchell is unimpressed.
ReplyDeleteAnd never get involved in a land war in Asia.
ReplyDeleteIs it the Zack Brown or the Zack Galifianakis Band?
ReplyDeleteThe Zac Brown Band is exactly why Yankees will always scoff at Southerners.
ReplyDeleteIocane powder.
ReplyDeleteWay late to the tattoo conversation, but Mark's huge E is way more recoverable than my queer decision to get the girl's name in full. In fact, baseball season is long over but my choice could be described as a huge E itself.
ReplyDeleteMy last (and best) ink work was in 1997. Could be time for another.
who's winning this one the teej?
ReplyDeleteWe took the Falcons (-1) and the over (44.5) here...
ReplyDeletequeer. stupid. either or. surprising i must say. of all people.
ReplyDeleteokay..good stuff...i too have the fal-cones.
ReplyDeletei have a hard time believing atl is not as loud as seattle
ReplyDeleteTurner's ass and thighs are ridiculously big. They're Pam Oliver-esque.
ReplyDeleteJerry has now also won at -180 "punt of first possession".
ReplyDeleteI'm always stunned at how un-Germanic Jason Snelling looks.
ReplyDeleteTR - finally off the bowl huh?
ReplyDeleteI yelled "oh!" four times on that play.
ReplyDeleteEagles canned Sean Mcdermott today. Fuck them.
ReplyDeleteSean McDermott - fired.
ReplyDeleteWell, that was odd.
ReplyDeleteGeoff and I share the same sleep-deprived, scotch soaked parent brain, apparently.
ReplyDeleteShared brain.
ReplyDeleteI'm drinking scotch and I've been up since 4am...so you're on to something there.
ReplyDeleteYes, but did you eat 10 pounds of buffalo wings in 15 minutes?
ReplyDeleteNo, I spent my afternoon at GTB's own Dennis's son's 2nd bday party. There were 17 kids under the age of 4 there. It was a buzzsaw of crying and screaming.
ReplyDeleteOne ridiculous after effect of the chick tat is that I now run in the same circles as that girl these days after not being around her for a dozen years or so. Halloween party she burst into tears in the middle of an innocuous conversation with me. (I was in a bridesmaid dress and wig; how she or anyone else took me seriously...) Anyway, an hour later she told me that her tears were really about the fact that since I moved back to town people have learned about and grilled her about the tattoo ad nauseum. Nice.
ReplyDeleteIf I was an NFL coach I'd be pretty bitter about the league issue pleated pants I'd have to wear on the sidelines.
ReplyDeleteKuhns? Kuhns used to come up on the back porch and mama'd just chase em off with a broom.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of games to lose Troy.
ReplyDeleteigor - locale of tat?
ReplyDeletepleats are coming back in '11
Drew Brees hocks NyQuil? Really?
ReplyDeleteTens and tens of people enjoying Wiz/Raptors at the Verizon Center...
ReplyDeleteI'm one more month of poor eating habits and no exercise away from having a neck like Mike McCarthy.
ReplyDeleteGroin.
ReplyDeleteSo her name was Pam or Amy?
ReplyDeleteyeah but geoff can mike mccarthy hit the ball on the screws like you? hmmm? hmmm?
ReplyDeleteTOUCHDOWN!
Good week for white wide receivers: Stokely for Seahawks, Maehl for Oregon, Nelson for GB.
ReplyDeletewell, at least it's in a spot no one will see it. so ya got that goin for ya.
ReplyDeletedid you have a mullet too at one time? earring?
Doubtful Danimal...doubtful. Few people are as good as I think I am.
ReplyDeleteCalled by Jerry...
ReplyDeleteyeah vavy!
ReplyDeleteThat kickoff return. Not Geoff's confidence in himself.
ReplyDeleteNo one puts vavy in the corner.
ReplyDeleteMullet. Check.
ReplyDeleteEarring. Check.
Duran Duran greatest hits CD. Check.
God bless 1989.
You could set your watch to Eric Weems hairline.
ReplyDeleteNice work son...you stoopid donk...
ReplyDeletereally? you need oxygen? you just ran 100 yards. you're a professional athlete. it's your job. and it's 5 minutes after the fact.
ReplyDeleteOK Troy Aikman, that made me chuckle.
ReplyDeleteThey are really upping the degree of difficulty on Rodgers.
ReplyDeletesorry. i take for granted that not everyone has completed an ironman.
ReplyDeleteNow that Aaron Rodgers...he can throw a football farther than Swint.
ReplyDeleteTribe men's hoops thumped Drexel tonight. Drexel thumped ODU Thursday. Can't say I saw that coming at all.
ReplyDeleteI convinced one of the younger guys at the DLC's wedding that I got the letters tattooed on my scrotum. The conversation went on for a good 5 minutes before I told him I was kidding.
ReplyDeleteIs it "escapability" or "escape ability"?
ReplyDeleteWow. Tribe beat Drexel 80-66 at Tribe Dome.
ReplyDeleteDammit Whitney.
ReplyDeleteSorry for scooping you, The Teej.
ReplyDeleteWow. Deion Sanders reference. (Deion's ego didn't need that. )
ReplyDeleteCoy Wire: former Bill. First rounder I think.
ReplyDeleteI like that formation they ran behind.
ReplyDeleteOregon would have gone for 2 there.
ReplyDeleteThis game is not setting up well for ATL. Defense has already been out there a while.
ReplyDeleteGeoff just made Chip Kelly cry.
ReplyDeletematthews is a good reader
ReplyDeleteAnd Brian Kelly makes danimal cry weekly during cfb season.
ReplyDeleteThese rich pricks who haven't missed a super bowl are really grating on me.
ReplyDeleteKarma/football gods might force one of those fellas to miss this year...
ReplyDeletehappy tears
ReplyDeleteWhat's the over/under on the number of NFL players Pam Oliver has serviced?
ReplyDeleteWiz are unreal. About to go 11-9 at home...yet still winless on the road (0-19).
ReplyDelete69.
ReplyDeleteThat's at least the 3rd time Woodson has blitzed. They need to adjust with a quick slant.
ReplyDeleteAfter game Rodgers tossing salads belonging to
ReplyDeleteJoe and troy
It's hard to tell if Rodgers is really really good or if his receivers make him look better than he really is.
ReplyDeleteHe's really good.
ReplyDeleteAnd Alex Smith is not.
Yep...I'm going with really good.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone is looking for a unique wedding gift for me, I'd like some of the PEDs that Clay Matthews uses.
ReplyDeleteOver looks good...
ReplyDeleteGood no doubt, but would he look as good if he played for the Rams, Browns, Bills, etc?
ReplyDeleteMark, I was going to get you a giant "Z" tattoo.
ReplyDeleteYes. He is very good, and would elevate the team he is on.
ReplyDeletei think we're lookin at gb vs ne
ReplyDeletehe's no clausen...but he awwight
ReplyDeleteI think GB should trade him to Buffalo to settle this once and for all.
ReplyDeletethe dukes atop the colonial. i'm sure you guys knew that though.
ReplyDeleteRodgers is good for a number of reasons but his release and his quick feet really separate him from a number of other QBs.
ReplyDeleteI've heard that I have a quick release. It wasn't a compliment.
ReplyDeleteAnyone know who the player was selected one pick before Aaron Rodgers?
ReplyDeletePat Ramsey? Jason Campbell?
ReplyDeleteJason Campbell? But only after surrounding three picks to move into that spot?
ReplyDeleteCampbell.
ReplyDeleteAt least they didn't trade Fred Taylor's pick for Rob Johnson.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I guess he is that good.
ReplyDeleteSo I spent halftime reading an article about how a failure to raise the debt ceiling will immediately lead to one of two circumstances: the US will default on many loans and the intl economy will implode or people will stop getting social security and medicare checks. Should be interesting. I'll put the odds that the House GOP votes down the debt ceiling increase at about 30%.
ReplyDeleteI spent my halftime sifting through college hoops stats.
ReplyDeleteAaron Rodgers = good.
ReplyDeleteSurgeon at work...
ReplyDeleteDo you think that guys in China get "STRENGTH" or "WISDOM" or stuff like that tattooed on themselves in English?
ReplyDeleteI think random Japanese kids who admire American culture do. In fact, one of my friends who plays in a hardcore band that's toured in Japan has photographic evidence of such things.
ReplyDeleteAaron Rodgers is good. And so are the rest of the Packers. Seems like they're peaking before out eyes.
ReplyDeleteGB's skill players give 110% once they get the ball.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Do you think John Abraham is really into Japanese culture?
ReplyDeletehey guys! what's been going on this evening? been at my company's 'holiday' party. bitter? no, why do you ask?
ReplyDeleteNo. And I'm willing to bet that at least one of his japanese tats doesnt mean what he thinks it does.
ReplyDeleterob, your company has a MLK Day party?
ReplyDeleteDesmond Bishop . . . Tutu?
ReplyDeleteYour company and it's mid-January holiday party is among the dumbest shit I've ever heard of. Well, that and the thought that Aaron Rodgers isn't an elite QB.
ReplyDeletesuch an easy setup
ReplyDeletei'll be attending holiday parties at different regional offices the next two weeks, as well. only bright spot is a staff meeting with dave and mr truck next week.
ReplyDeleteTo further the point on Rodgers, he's currently 27-31 for 330 yds, 3 TDs passing and 1 TD rushing.
ReplyDeleteBig day for Shlara's teams: steelers, wizards and tribe all win today.
ReplyDelete
