Gonna go out on a limb and say most of these “cowboys” would shit themselves in apoplexy if they were riding with a black cowboy or Mexican vaquero.

Speaking as a tall (6'4") person who played goalie, the benefits of longer arms and legs on the dives and cross-wranglings are offset quite a bit by it being harder to get to the close-in low balls, as well as slightly slower fast-twitch movements (takes a fraction of a second longer to get everything moving).

I mean, the argument that, “You’re playing like crap and might lose your starting job because you’re injured, but we don’t think you should have surgery to fix the injury,” is not what I would call a *strong* argument, but it is definitely an argument I can see a team as dysfunctionally moronic as the Jets making.

I have never seen an ongoing stroke victim play basketball at an NBA level before today.

“Let me tell you, life on the back streets ain’t all stewed opossum and half-full cans of beans. Sometimes it gets rough, you do things you ain’t proud of doing, but when you need an indulgence, Toad Eye Suzy down by the railyard is who you talk to. Long as you bring her at least a mason jar full of nail clippings,… Read more

So we’re upset about all the people that got fired except Benoit, right? Cus that guy seems like a dildo.

This is the biggest hit I’ve seen laid on a number 11 who couldn’t handle drinks since Phil Simms.

If this is a regular thing I am all for it, but there better still be some Jaguars Junction up in this mix.

And they say men can’t find the G-spot. Checkmate, Jezzies!

Wasn’t that one, but something similar (I remember it happening earlier in my career than that). Lemme try my google-fu and see if I can find it.

Yup, that’s what it’s designed to do. I had to get a shot one time during my career, when I threw my back out during warmups. It kinda just makes the pain not be a thing any longer, so I totally understand why guys were lining up to get it before the game when they knew they were about to put themselves through the… Read more

Up until about 2008 (I think, might have been 2009) you could literally walk up to the trainer before a game and get a shot of Toradol (aka Vitamin T) just by asking for it. Didn’t need a prescription, a medical diagnosis, nothing more than “Hey, I need some Toradol.” Usually a line of 20-30 guys before each game.

From everything I’ve read, the fine wasn’t from missing practices while dealing with the helmet stuff, it was for missing a pregame walkthrough at the hotel. All he had to do was literally roll out of bed and show up. If you can’t be bothered to show up for that, then your ass deserves to be fined, I don’t care how… Read more

Yeah, but how far did he punt the football?

Unlikely, they have haven’t taken my submissions the last couple years, and especially with the current management I *highly* doubt they’re gonna let me do one this year.

I mean, it *was* the nineties, so we can’t be certain.

I wouldn’t worry too much about getting drilled with a ball on kickoff, that’s pretty much a guaranteed outcome at least once during the season for every freshman/JV team (the guy on my freshman team got hit in the back square between the numbers and it rocketed straight back to the kicker). Also, as someone who is… Read more

2006. My second year in the NFL, first year being the holder (Brad Johnson had the duties the year before). I’d dutifully practiced all off-season long, felt like Longwell and I had a pretty good chemistry going on, took pride in being able to get the ball exactly how he wanted it. Read more

That was actually a rookie celebration party *after* roster cuts, not a fourth preseason game bacchanalia. Gotta know the difference if you wanna earn those stars.
