Man, we had our first night of rookie division baseball practice last night. I sure enjoy coaching the kids, they’re a lot of fun at 8 years old when they’re in that stage of rapid progress, you can really make a lot of progress with them in a couple of months. I have a deep love for the game of baseball, and there isn’t anything much more fun than hanging out with the kiddos and having fun. What a night.

After practice, we made the discovery that Dairy Queen sells gluten-free Dilly Bars. I was not aware of this very important fact until last night, and I now feel more complete. This is a close second to learning about gluten-free Oreos.

Video of the Day:

Here’s another great one from Dropkick Murphys, this one is called Kiss Me I’m Sh**faced (there is obviously some NSFW language in here, so beware). Enjoy!

Shit happens. Big contracts being cut. KAM is balancing the cap books. He’s a financial guy. Return on investment, that sort of thing. I get it. I like Cook and always have. I liked Peterson, and Thielen too. Liked Z. Smith as well. No way was KAM keeping guys this year. Cousins is gone in 2024 as well, no matter what he does, and KAM won’t get anything but a $28.5M cap hit for him. In the end though one thing is crystal clear. No player friendly deals. If you play for the Vikings, you are not beloved and valued. You’re just a guy they can waive, cut, or trade any time they want.

All teams are like that with being cut anytime they want. The Kirk cap hit exists no matter what but they will not get nothing, they’ll get at least a third round comp pick. I like dalvin too but he’s not worth his cap hit.

I think Phillips’ quote is blown out of proportion as a headline rather than truth.
I was expecting something a little more obvious like, “Chandler will be the number 2 back to start the season……”

I think (my opinion) that Cousins will have another highly productive year. Why? Because he’s good, that’s why. He’s also a good egg, and he will thank the Vikings and compliment the coaching staff for the rest of his career. He still speaks positively about his experience with the Redskins whose GM never called him by his real name for God’s sake. They low balled him, told the press he was a career back-up and turnover machine to justify their low ball contract offers, and basically said nothing good about him or his play. Yet Cousins says very good things about the Redskins organization and opportunities they gave him to this day. He complimented Zimmer last year when the media was trying to get him to say how much better the environment was now.

No, Cousins isn’t a middle finger guy. He’s a “kill them with kindness” guy.

Probably… just following in Hillary’s footsteps. She wanted to be President, but after losing couldn’t face her supporters. Her campaign manager had to address them for her, because she was in her bedroom crying uncontrollably. Yeah an emotional wreck from losing. THAT’s the woman who should have been our President. So incredibly ludicrous.

He’s the biggest POS dem ever elected and his ugly wife is right there with him. I wanted Bernie.

Also let’s not forget while the country was distracted with the Monica Lewinsky impeachment trial the investigation on the CIA and the contra guns and crack laundering billions of dollars in drug money was completely ignored.

For me it was all about that game of Life. If you landed on the doctor spot you had it made.

The Italian exchange student stopped by my office to learn at the seat of greatness. I’m like oh nasty a pilon fracture see how the talus drove into the tibial plafond that’s going to be a long rehab post surgery. Oh here’s a nice one to remind you why you should have routine screening colonoscopy this 59 year old has widely metastatic rectal cancer cuz he didn’t get screening and ignored a 60 pound weight loss over the last six months. She’s like OMG I feel so bad will he be okay (NOPE) oh I am so sad for him. I told her that’s why I went into rads, I would have been destroyed by all the interpersonal interaction. Easier to emotionally distance yourself looking at images and not looking ’em in the eyes. Like eating hamburger.

Yeah I didn’t fit in in my rural Appalachian upbringing. They took me hunting…sat me up down by the creek in the kill spot, went up on the ridges and walked along the top. A line of deer came right up the creek and walked right by me…probably a 10 point buck following them. My brother gets down to me an hour later and says did you see anything. I said nope not a damn thing….he looked down and saw their tracks and called me a liar and he was right. Never went hunting again.

Prolly Hunter’s agent telling other teams and/or the press that his client isn’t happy with his deal and is “open to a trade”. Unless we’re going into full tank/rebuild mode, I don’t see the reasoning behind trading Hunter.
Pros:

  • he’s not old
  • he’s very good
  • he’s on a cheap contract (but that’s about to change

Cons:

  • has missed several games due to injury in the past
  • he has cap hits for the next 2 seasons (11 MM + total I think)

couple good years and they can move on from him.

I saw him when I was kid in Charleston, WV at the civic center. He would stomp on the American flag and the crowd of toothless inbreeds would totally lose their shit. How the hell he was brave enough to come in to a hostile place like that I’ll never know. They had state police all around the ring and I shit you not there where guys from the crowd rushing the ring trying to get at him every few minutes. He’d say over the mic….”You dumb Americans want some come get some” and wave them in. He did those large heavy wooden things he would spin around and he would say I bet no one else can do this and nobody could. I’ve seen some crazy shit in my day.

You’re not stupid. Not at all. Depending upon price he makes sense for both teams IMO. If the Jets are all in and they think Breece Hall needs more time I could see them adding Cook as the final piece – depth or otherwise. Cowboys in a similar boat. Pollard the guy there now but most NFL backfields nowadays feature a 1-2 punch – if Dallas thinks they’re one piece away and the price is right I could see them making this move too.

Twitter is such a weird thing. Yesterday I was mocking Stephen King. I mean, he didn’t acknowledge my existence or anything, but the fact that he could have is wacky.

Someone tweeted about how kids are getting sexualized, and the guy used the word “sex” like 10 times in his post.

Stephen King chimed in, “You are the one obsessed with sex since you used the word so many times.”

I says to Stephen King, “I might be wrong, but I believe there is a literary device called “repetition,” where a word or phrase is used multiple times for emphasis. It could be considered a stylistic choice in written communication. Can any writers confirm?”

Ha! Burned you, King!

I don’t think so. I get the impression King is afraid of death and tries to be fairly healthy now.

He always was opinionated and came across as missing the point at times, though, along with some talking straight out of his buttocks on subjects he clearly doesn’t fully understand.

Presently he is on a hobby horse about how various books shouldn’t be banned in schools…yet he is glad his book Rage is now out of print.

Why? I thought all books should be available to everyone, Kingster?

I have never witnessed a more underhanded, dishonest, scoundrel ridden, money grab than what the PGA did yesterday. Preach for 2 yrs about integrity, values, tradition and then do a 180 heel turn and take the Saudi bag of money.

This is just a reflection of what drives 99% about what I bitch about here everyday. This is about class separation and the hypocrisy of the mega rich pushing down their expectations on the working class to tow the line, be loyal, be fair, show up on time, follow orders, work hard, be grateful for what you have while they sell out, cut back costing people jobs and livelihoods, raise prices on life saving drugs or food or housing, crash markets for a profit ruining lives.

This is what is wrong with society and why they keep us divided with BS gender, race, anti science, environment, guns, abortion…..issues ammunition they can keep firing and feeding at us distracting us while they at the capitalistic troughs feed and enrich themselves.

Here the PGA and the game of golf was suppose to be the last bastions of etiquette, rule following and graciousness. It turns out they’re greedy lying grifting shysters just like all the rest of them.
