YOLO

So a while back I was talking to a guy and he was a few years younger than me so I asked him, "What does YOLO mean?"  He thought for a second and then said, "you know... I don't know."  So I pulled out my smartphone and went to none other than the +Urban Dictionary and looked it up.  "Oh hey," I said.  "It means 'you only live once.'  To be honest I thought it was some Hispanic thing."  Now when this guy and I see each other at work we sometimes randomly yell out, "YOLO!"

UM... RICE? WHAT'S UP WITH THE WINGS?

I'm watching the +Autozone +Liberty Bowl and I'm wondering why +Rice University  has wings on their helmets that look exactly like the +Oregon Ducks wings that they have on their helmets?  I understand they're the Rice Owls, but if you wanted wings, couldn't they have come up with something a little different?

TOM BRADY DOESN'T GET MUCH LOVE FROM HIS TEAMMATES

Check out this YouTube video:

Do the +New England Patriots not like +Tom Brady?  Brady has always seemed like a different type of guy and he's one of those guys it's easy to not like.  He's probably a nice enough guy, but he does bring some of this on himself.  Like the time he cried because he didn't get drafted as high as he thought he should've:

I don't know about you, but I have a hard time feeling sorry for the guy.  Hey, has anyone seen my Uggs?

JASON GARRETT STILL IN DALLAS

So apparently Jason Garrett is still in as coach of the +Dallas Cowboys, even though they finished 8-8 for the third year in a row and missed the playoffs again.  The problem is that there are not a lot of good coaches out there that would come and deal with Jerry Jones on a daily basis.  Mike Shanahan has been mentioned by +Sam Farmer of the +Los Angeles Times as someone who Jerry really likes and he was fired by the +Washington Redskins today.  If Garrett was let go would Jerry Jones bring in Shanahan and if so would he let him hire his own staff?

MARK THOMPSON'S WIFE IS PISSED AT ME

So I made a comment about the +Mark “and Lynda” Thompson podcast, (www.markandlynda.us) yesterday that really got Lynda pissed off at me.  First, I'll give you a little background... Mark and Lynda did their Christmas podcast the other day and leading up to it Lynda had made several comments about how their grown children, who are not a regular part of the show, had to not yell so much on this years Christmas show.  They ended up playing Christmas trivia and their oldest daughter was really getting into it and was yelling really loudly no matter how many times they told her to stop.  I made a comment on their website saying how annoying it was to listen to.  Lynda saw the comment and then read this blog and saw that I said she's "really fucking stupid" and "dumber than a box of rocks."  I was completely out of line and wrong.  I love Mark and Lynda's show and I was being a real asshole.  So anyway, she wasn't too happy with me.  Lynda... I apologize.

WHAT IS IT WITH PEOPLE IN THE GYM?

I attend a 24 hour gym called +Anytime Fitness  and usually go late at night.  A trend I'm seeing that seems to be getting worse is other members that don't put their equipment away when they're done.  They literally just leave shit laying all over the place.  I would hate to see what their pigsty of a house looks like.  And then you have the guy that literally has about half of the equipment in use.  He's got his water bottle on one machine, his weight lifting belt hanging on another and a towel draped over another.  Does he think this is his personal gym?  There's also the yeller.  You know who I'm talking about... the big guy that is curling with 80 pound dumb bells and lets out a blood curdling yell with every rep because he wants everyone to see how much weight he's pushing.

THE DALLAS COWBOYS ARE THE GREATEST MEDIOCRE TEAM OF ALL TIME

If they had a title for being mediocre the +Dallas Cowboys would win it hands down.  It's their third straight 8-8 season and the third straight year they've had a win or go home scenario.  At some point this mediocrity has got to start affecting the bottom line.  Everyone says they need to hire a high profile coach.  They've tried and they can't because nobody wants to work for Jerry Jones.  You can't even hire your own staff because Jerry does it for you.  Seriously... what the fuck?  Jerry decides who calls the plays.  Jerry is starting to remind people of Al Davis.  The difference being that Al Davis actually was relevant as a GM at one point and Jerry never has been.  Jerry Jones you are destroying one of the greatest franchises in the history of sports.  I beg you to step down as GM.

WILL THE DALLAS COWBOYS EVER WIN ANOTHER SUPER BOWL?

No.  The Dallas Cowboys will never win another Super Bowl as long as Jerry Jones is running the football side of things.  Their defense this year is absolutely atrocious.  The only reasons they are in a position to win their division is because their division sucks and Tony Romo makes things happen on offense.  With Kyle Orton starting tonight, things do not look good.  They will need DeMarco Murray to run the ball 35 times, but with their history of play calling this season that probably won't happen. 

Jerry... do us all a favor and hire a general manager  We all acknowledge you're a brilliant businessman, but you have to let go of your ego and realize you're not an NFL general manager.  Please.
