Around SBN: Chan Sung Jung Wins Thriller Over Dustin Poirier

CAM NEWTON INVESTIGATION UNVEILS SKETCHIEST BOOSTER EVER

I DENAAAHH ALL CHAAHHHGES AND FETCH ME A BOURBON AND BACON GREASE, DAAHHHHLING. via media.al.com

We doubt the report of Milton McGregor's association with the Cam Newton case is anything to be taken too seriously in the FBI's investigation of the Cam Newton case. McGregor's already tagged with the Auburn brand due to a $1 million donation in 2008, and any and all questions around him are likely just hunting for links. The previous sentence is declared null and void in nanoseconds if anyone has a picture of Cecil Newton at Victoryland, the casino/ dog track McGregor owned and allegedly used to disperse bribes to Alabama politicians through rigged bingo machines.*

It is most likely a tangent, and one that shouldn't trouble Auburn fans too much. (The words "FBI Investigation" should be enough for all but the steeliest of souls.) It does allow us to post that picture of McGregor, and make mention that in the grand casting call of life when the role of "Corrupt, web-spinning, bribe-fiending dog track baron" is called, this is the man who wins the part exactly ninety-nine times out of a hundred. (The other time it goes to Charles Durning, but that's inevitable)

Believe that, son

Milton McGregor is the sketchiest PERSON in Alabama ever. The man’s whole career for the last twenty-five years has been built on pushing the bar in gambling in Alabama – first he took over the horse track, then oh noez the horsetrack will go under if it doesn’t have dog racing, and then the horses went bye-bye and now whoa, it will all go kerplunk unless we get slot machines, and then there was some sort of baroque cyber-cafe-sweepstakes scheme that quite frankly would make John Kennedy Toole, Flannery O’Connor and William Faulkner chuck their typewriters in the river and go back to drinking.

There’s a reason why my uncle asked me at Christmas “You ever seen that O Brother movie? Boy, that hit a little close to home, don’t it?”

McGregor’s bingo machines were probably honest, although it’s an open question on whether bingo machines are legal in Alabama.

Once upon a time

The Royals pretty much owned everything between Kansas City and the Rockies. They even had radio affiliates from Idaho down to New Mexico.

Not… so much anymore.

As for the Braves, for over two decades they were the only team east of the Mississippi and south of the Ohio/Potomac. The only competition they really had was the Reds in Kentucky and Cardinals in the Memphis area. (Peter Angelos can suck a dick; Virginia has never, ever, ever been Orioles territory, and since the Braves had their AAA affiliate there for years the Brave empire ran all the way up to the Rappahannock uncontested.)

I remember reading somewhere that hockey players have the highest IQ (or maybe it was test scores) of the 4 major pro sports

Football was second, baseball and basketball were well behind the other two.

Probably has something to do with the fact that a family that can afford to spend the money it takes to put a kid through the various levels of hockey most likely can afford to live in an area with a good school system. Football makes sense at number 2 because they have to have had at least 3 years of college.

I would think it has more to do with the fact that the vast majority of pro baseball players

Have little to no secondary education. Most go straight from HS to the minor leagues. Let’s face it, the towns that support minor league baseball are not exactly bastions of cultural diversity. Whereas Hockey players (at least the ones good enough to be pro prospects) are exposed to several cultures from a very early age.

This is good advice.

Also, if you must watch on TV, it’s much easier if you can get a local feed from one of the Midwest/Northeast teams instead of a national feed. Minnesota or Michigan crews know how to present the game so you can actually see what’s going on. (I grew up watching Minnesota college hockey and the high school tournament and never really had any problems, even though I never actually played anything organized.)

Explain to me how this is supposed to be happy ending? So they won the battle, now the rest of the military is going to show up and bomb the shit out of the whole planet.

And maybe my West Virginian Internet Friends can help me out, but I’m pretty sure we have the ability to mine whatever ore they were after without resorting to stripping half the planet’s surface away. And if we have that technology now, why don’t they have something more advanced however far in the future this mess occurs.

It wasn't "the military"

The gun-totin’ strip miners were private mercenaries, and they were short on resources (and probably violating a bunch of extraterrestrial environmental laws). So no orbital nukes for them.

Not great writing, but it wasn’t COMPLETELY implausible. It’s “Dancin’ With Smurfs,” but kind of a classic myth retelling.

Oh, and what they do in West Virginia is blow the whole top of the mountain off and dump it in the adjacent valley, to get at the coal. It’s a freakin’ tragedy.

It’ll take the company at least as long to return with an expeditionary force to deal with the natives. Sully just bought Pandora some time.

This Gator Bowl was also a foggy one

January 01, 1993|From Associated Press
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Steve Spurrier, who has built a winning program at Florida around an explosive offense, won his first bowl game with defense. The Florida defense forced an Outback Steakhouse Gator Bowl-record 11 punts during a 27-10 victory over North Carolina State in a heavy fog Thursday.

As I recall, a cousin who went said he couldn’t see the field from his seat halfway up in the stands. I do remember it was difficult following the action on TV.

Let's hear it for 6:00 PM weeknight kickoffs!

First, I had to watch a DERP-infested black market feed while doing my last few conference calls of the day and avoiding launching into the FIREHORSE-inspired spew of profanity I really, really wanted to let loose during that first. Then, I made it through the DC metro system — now dropping 50-pound hunks of concrete at random — just before they closed my station to investigate. And then I finished watching the game on my laptop at home.

But, fuck it all — we’re seven and four! CAN I GET A FUCKIN’ SIREN?

BTW, for the person who asked what else there is to do in Akron on a Wednesday night, the answer is nothing. But going to the game means being outdoors for a prolonged period of time in downtown Akron . . . after dark. Plus you get to go to Infocisin Stadium, which as best I can tell is named after a bris one performs on data.

Athletes often do very well at law school. In my class, our #1 played DIII soccer and our #2 played SEC football. We have SEC football players in every class (and even a former NFL player in the 1L class). I think their competitive, occasionally combative nature helps a lot.

This stuff'll make you a...sexual tyrannosaurus. Just like me.

I lost my cat

I lost my cat approximately 4 hours ago and I was wondering if anybody has found it. I do not know what it looks like, and I do not want you to know it’s name. It’s none of your fucking business. I’m calling the cops if nobody finds my cat and you still manage to find out it’s name…and you’re all going to jail. The cat does not like fish and that is not a sexual innuendo. I prepared a feast for it, but it escaped the zip-ties a put around it’s paws. I guess it would have helped if I tied the paws together, but again..it’s none of your god damn business or I’m calling the police. I am not angry. I made that up but it’s completely irrelevant to the case; the case which involes my missing cat. Bring me a cat, or I will call the cops. I have dark brown hair, brown eyes, 6’0" in height, approximately 170 lbs. of everything you have dreamt of. I am white in complexion. Israel has awesome commandos with knives and berets so I am also 1/4 Japanese but I am white. The older ladies say I look like a mix between Keanu Reeves and Billy Crystal. The ladies, they love me, you see? Please help me find the cat, this is not an option for you. I hope the information I have given helps you. Gargle warm salt water and stare at the mirror with 3-D glasses on at 88 MPH and you will find the answer. The answer to my fucking cat. F u ck it j u st b ri ng m e as m a ny ca t s as pos s ib le. I am American and I love jean shorts. I am so angry that there are cats out there that aren’t my cat. I can’t believe how serious people are on some of the posts on here…“I’m just a dude that likes sports and Nickelback is a good band but rap really isn’t my cup of tea.”…“I like rock and rap nbo country but some, Ed Hardy, and I want to be like the guys in Jersey Shore.” fools

At first I thought he was riffing on the lost frog meme

but alas as I read on I realized I was mistaken

Maybe it was wishful thinking. I do love the lost frog flyer

Really comes into focus with that phrase.

Methinks the frog thieves should flee for their lives.

reminded me of the old dirty joke

where the kid goes to the whore house with his live savings in one hand and a shoe box with a dead frog in the other and requests a lady with an STD. When asked why he wanted a diseased lady, he goes through a very confusing and convoluted series of people sleeping with each other that goes on long enough for you to forget that the set up involved a dead frog and then it ends with “And she’ll have sex with the mail man, and THAT’S THE MOTHERFUCKER WHO STEPPED ON MY FROG!”

That's great.

I love those jokes that go 400 miles in another direction and come right back to a leading detail.

Lets go back to when you were a child, shall we?

Now, you are at home with your mother. Is there a cat in the house?

Buddy Garrity (Brad Leland) from Friday Night Lights MUST play this man in the movie.

Tell me I’m wrong.

He’ll need a steady diet of Wild Turkey, Cuban cigars, whores and shame to get in character physically and mentally, but no doubt this is the role he was born to play.
