This Is Our Concern Dude

I'm pretty sure this is what Thomas Jefferson and the rest of the founding fathers had in mind when it came to electing a president. Well, maybe not but either way, its Election Day, and you need to get your shit together and go vote. Plus, we all know this isn't a fair way to decide who the president is going to be president because we all know that Obama would beat McCain's geriatric ass down in a Joust.

So, Everyone in sports television is declaring my Dallas Cowboys dead after the drubbing they took at the hands of the New York Giants. Um...ok? If Tony Romo had been playing QB for the last 3 games I'd understand the chicken little mentality because I'd be damn near on suicide watch at this point. But the thing is, it was Brad Johnson playing QB. He's the guy who was probably past his prime back in '02 when he won the Super Bowl with the Bucs. That dude is at least 40 and his arm looks 65. I'm Just saying... give the Cowboys 2 more games after their bye before you pass that kind of judgement. Tony Romo will be back, and we will see what this team is made of. Also, saying they don't have a shot at the playoffs im the shitty NFC is retarded. 3 teams will make it out of the NFC east, and they are only 1 game out of 3rd place. Another thing that makes me feel good is that the Eagles and Redskins haven't exactly been playing inspired football the last couple wee...

I saw the talking heads on ESPN chatting about this practically all day yesterday and I just wanted to get a quick post in to tell you why it's a ridiculously stupid idea. First off, don't baseball teams, at least somewhat, build their roster around stadiums? If you play at a park with a short field, for instance Fenway , you get guys who can hit home runs. If you happen to play at a pitcher's park, well you tailor your roster to that. If baseball were to actually do this, and they probably won't, it would be just their luck that next season it'd be Cubs and Yankees in the Series, only they'd be playing 7 games in Houston. How does that make any sense? A far better solution is to simply eliminate some of the travel days, or perhaps you could even knock a few games off the schedule so that the playoffs wouldn't be ending in November next year. Of course, the latter will never happen as owners wouldn't think of giving up a couple of their 162 paychecks. Ju...

For 41 games this baseball season I had a privilege that most baseball fans have never had. I got to watch the sweetest swing in baseball every time I turned on the TV to watch my White Sox. I remember waking up on the morning of the trade deadline and learning that Ken Griffey Jr. had been traded to the Sox. I was thrilled. I didn't care that the Sox didn't have a place for him. I didn't care that he really hasnt been the same since all the injuries. Junior has been one of my favorite players since I was 10. I'm a lefty, I used to play centerfield... Junior was the best player alive...he was perfect to model your game after. Today though, ESPN is reporting that the White Sox aren't going to try to re-sign Junior, who is going to become a free agent. I'm not going to lie, my heart kind of sunk. I loved having him for the 41 games we did. He got a few timely hits, made a few nice plays in the field, but most of the was a shadow of his former self with a few flash...

So I'm fairly certain that once you enter my house, you also enter some alternate dimension where the inside of my house doubles as the ice planet Hoth. I'm wearing a stocking cap, thermal, and a fleece hoodie as I type this. My headlights are constantly on, and I'm about to cut open a tauntuan (pictured, no not Luke Sywalker) to stay warm. Either way, I've just got a couple of random thoughts that needed a place to hang out for a while. 1. Why does the NFL feel the need to play games in London? Hasn't it been made abundantly clear that Europe wants nothing to do with American Football for the most part? We all know how much of a booming success NFL Europe was over there. I mean, why wouldn't they ditch their beloved soccer to see a bunch of second-tier football players? Seriously, they love Soccer, we love football, and we should just leave it alone. I also don't want to hear the BS about starting a European division or conference or whatever. Are you tell...

Every year, I get through my Fantasy Football draft and then by week 7, I've usually been doing pretty well. For Instance, I'm 5-2 right now, and in a 3-way tie for first, but as always I'm hitting my annual shitstorm of underachieving superstars and injuries. So here is a list of players that I'm just saying FUCK YOU to until further notice... 1. Ladainian Tomlinson . Hey Fuckface, maybe you should stop making those Vizio comercials and having Troy Polamalu run you down in Nike ads, and actually try to get fucking healthy during the offseason. When I got the first pick in my ffb draft this year i was pretty much handcuffed into taking your gimpy ass. Larry Johnson completely fucked me last year in the same situation. So you better rub some dirt on your fucking turf toe and dry those tears pussy, thats why dad left. 2. Willie Parker . Hey Asshole, you've been questionable for the better part of a month? when the fuck are you going to play? I'm tired of having t...

Wanted to get a quick post in congratulating the Tampa Bay Devil Rays on making it to the World Series. Hold on, one more thought, I just got word that Coach K is dropping the word Devil from the Blue Devils team name this fall in hopes of not bowing out in the second round yet again. And yes, that was the absolute worst post title I could come up with.

So at 1:30 this morning Danny and I decided that we should write a movie. This came about after someone discussed that they had actually seen "Snakes on a Train." That's right, snakes on a TRAIN. I'm thinking if a movie that horrible can get made, and that people will actually pay to see it, there's no way we can't get something done.

As a follow up to the previous post, I just wanted to say how much I enjoy Shane Victorino's work on the Daily Show. As Mike said, truly a double threat.

So I'm watching the Phils/Dodgers game last night and all I could think about as Shane Victorino came up clutch in another big spot this post season was wow, he was excellent in "The Last Samurai." Seriously, I never thought someone could make the transition from acting to baseball so quickly, but he got it done.

DRAAGGGOOOOO!!! I mean seriously...who doesnt love a good movie montage. Now...i didn't make a movie...but i did make a montage that could go into a crappy movie. Now we all know that the Rocky series is the gold standard for movie training montages. This is why I put an obvious nod to Rocky IV in my montage. Enjoy, as I train a poor retarded boy in the ways of Halo 3...

So last night I published our first post. This morning I woke up and discovered that our blog had been locked by blogger due to some sort of a content violation. Now, since I had only posted about it being our first post, put of a screen shot of a football videogame, and put up a video of my friend getting slapped... I really had no idea what I had done. So i go to check the Blogger Content Policy and it made accusations at me that I had uploaded child pornography or that I had railed against some ethnic group using a torrent of slurs. (btw, doing this will only get your blog locked. Doesn't really seem like that kinda shit should get to be reviewed.) Turns out, they thought our blog was a spam blog. Really? I didn't know there were people spamming about their friends getting slapped. Jesus Titty-Fucking Christ, Blogger. I take the time to put a picture and a video in the god damn post. I think it looks nice...and all you do is tell me you think its spam. I thought it looked n...

Well, this is the first post of "This Is Our Concern Dude," a place where my counterpart and I will pretty much ramble about anything we want. Anything we want will pretty much be contained in the realms of sports and pop culture, and hopefully it will be funny if nothing else. First thing is first though, as you may have noticed, there is a screenshot of a West Virginia football player. Well, a good friend of ours made a bet with another friend that he'd beat him in NCAA Football 09. The loser of the bet got slapped...and as you will see in the video, hilarity ensued. The overwhelming favorite in the match-up picked the OSU Buckeyes and ended up getting owned by Pat White and West Virginia. This resulted in being on the wrong end of a Pride Obliterating Bitch Slap. I think that this is a hell of a start for this blog. One post in, and we are already promoting bitch-slapping the hell out of people. Nice.
