Quote of the day

ESPN Radio host, podcaster, and Pittsburgh sports aficionado Dave Dameshek on the decision to trade WR Santonio Holmes to the Jets for a roll of used tape and a tackling dummy Joe Namath nailed Angie Dickinson on.

Santonio for a 5th-rd pick? I'm gonna go puke in the bathroom. I hope Roethlisberger doesn't try to rape me while I'm in there.

Uh, he would only allegedly try to rape you. Eventually charges would be dropped and a DA will decline to prosecute. Then all throughout the press conference announcing announcing this fact he would declare that while he probably did rape you, that they didn't have the evidence to prosecute and that Ben was definitely one lucky son of a bitch. Try to keep up.

However, James Harrison would beat the shit out of you. Just because.

With the NFL season kicking off tonight with Mine and Sean's beloved Pittsburgh Steelers taking on the Tennessee Titans (full rubbing your nose in shit disclosure: I'm going), one question remains: are you ready for some football? Now if you root for God's team, as we do, you probably think you are in fact, ready for some football. You are not. Listen to this 30-40 times:



Now you are ready for some football...and possibly ready to kill the next living thing you see with your bare hands. Such is the power of NFL Films music, Sam Spence, and Classic Battle.

A competitor attempts to tear off the head of a killed goose attached to a rope, which is repeatedly raised and lowered into the harbour, during fiestas in the Basque fishing town of Lekeitio. Successful participants are allowed to keep the goose.

Here we are trying to get excited about the upcoming season of millionaires crippling each other for our entertainment, when Spain has it all figured out: Goose Corpse Mangling. They don't do it for the money or the fame, they do it for the competition and the bird ripping, for the purity of the sport. They do it for the free goose meat. I think we can all learn something from this.
