Cinematic Badass of the Day: Quint

“Here’s to swimmin’ with bow-legged women”–Quint I watched Jaws last night for about the 3,000th time in my life and I just wanted to give a special shout out to Quint, the drunk boat captain who goes out the way all badasses should go out: getting ripped apart by a Goddamn shark.  When I was a kid, I liked Hooper better than Quint.  I don’t know why.  Hooper sucks.  (Nasally voice): “Ummm…mayor….It’s a carcharodon carcharias.”  Yeah, whatever you say, nerd.  Quint is a man of the sea, broke his arm in an arm-wrestling contest, survived a torpedo attack and…

Goodbye Bill Green

How do I say goodbye to what we had?  The good times that made us laugh Outweigh the bad.  I thought we’d get to see foreverBut forever’s gone away It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.  I don’t know where this road Is going to lead All I know is where we’ve been And what we’ve been through.  If we get to see tomorrow I hope it’s worth all the wait It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.  And I’ll take with me the memories To be my sunshine after the rain It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.  And I’ll take with me the…

Get Outta Delaware Park Week 3: Because I’m Trapped!

After an abysmal Week One, I went 8-8 last week.  Which means that I am getting better!  Or at least, getting average.  The worst part about these picks is that for the last two weeks, I’ve gotten two outta three right on the three team tease, which is a lot like kissing your sister, it’ll give you something to do, but it won’t getcha anywhere. Jared Allen over there knows what I’m talking about.  On to week three!

Five Reasons to watch Freaks and Geeks

I recently bought the Freaks and Geeks DVD set and felt obligated to let everyone know about the awesomeness of the show. If you haven’t seen it, check it out. Is it time to give 5 reasons why?  It’s time to give 5 reasons why. (I know I did “Ten Reasons to Watch Mad Men” but I thought most of those reasons were single characters, so I just cut it down to five for this article and included the characters as one category on their own.) Also, be warned, as there are mild spoilers ahead. 1.) It’s the most…

The Worst Fantasy Football Draft EVER

I just finished a fantasy football draft, and as the title suggests, one of my fellow managers had the worst fantasy football draft I have ever seen.  Instead of waxing poetically about the incredible ineptitude of “Jumping” hows about I just post his draft results? Round 1: Arian Foster (umm….he did this with the THIRD pick in the draft, but I wasn’t complaining cause MJD slipped to me at 6). Round 2: LeSean McCoy (possible his sanest pick…and that says something cause the pick this early in the draft is insane). Round 3: Ronnie Brown Round 4: Ricky Williams…

Nyjer Morgan…PWNED!

If you haven’t seen the video of Nyjer Morgan getting absolutely pwned by Gaby Sanchez’s forearm shiver ala The Narcissist Lex Luger, do yourself a favor and find it.  I would put it on here, but I don’t know how to imbed video so Randal, if you read this, feel free to upload the video.  The reason this brought music to my morning is the fact that Morgan currently sits atop the list of candidates as the games biggest douche. Even Sugar Ray wannabe frosted tipped forty year olds have nothing on him.   Just look at that fool….

Depressing

I wish baseball were over.  I wish it was October and the Phillies had already put me out of my misery, the Braves had already backed into the playoffs and I could stop caring about baseball. But it isn’t.  And I can’t. The Phillies are on the verge of getting swept by the Astros.  This is terrible in and of itself, but the fact that the Braves just got steamrolled by the Rockies, and have lost 3 straight, makes it even worse.   See, the Phillies could’ve had the lead back in the NL East.  But they didn’t.  Didn’t…
