Read MorePlease ignore this post. I'm trying to use this guy as my fantasy football team pic and ESPN requires a web address, so hopefully posting it on my website will do the trick. Suck it, ESPN.
Read MoreI’m so sick of pundits and their so-called “bold predictions.”
I can’t think of anything more cowardly in the world of fantasy sports.
Basically, what they’re saying is, 'if this prediction doesn’t come true, it’s not on me, I told you it wasn’t likely. But if it does come true, you must recognize me as a modern day Nostradamus.'
Read MoreThis tale brought to you by my good buddy in the U.S., Nomu Chompsky.
Nomu's story is about a U.S. salesman acquaintance who has crazy eyes like Gary Busey. As such, he will be referred to as Gary “Crazy Eyes” Busey.
Like to here it, here it goes.
Gary “Crazy Eyes” Busey was illustrating how the U.S. is going to hell and as an

In his induction speech at the 2018 Pro Football Hall of Fame ceremony, Brian Urlacher, one of the greatest linebackers to don a Chicago Bears uniform, began by saying that he was “humbled to join the fraternity of men who were the best to ever play the game.”

In the wake of Japan’s World Cup loss to Belgium, high school student Yoko Shimizu said that while she enjoyed the knock-out-stage match between the two countries, she did not enjoy the outcome and humbly wishes all Belgium fans a new, incurable form of VD.

2) 栗鼠 (risu) = acorn rat = squirrel
Just so the Japanese don’t feel like I’m picking on them in my “Best Japanese Words Ever” series, here’s an example of English that boggles my mind.
While you would think the word “forgetive” would mean something like “likely to forget,” it in fact means “inventive.” What the fuck, English?
Read MoreTo settle once and for all the age old debate of which sport is better, football or soccer, I argued the topic with my Irish friend, Seamus. (While you’d think his name would be pronounced SEA-mus, it’s actually pronounced SHAY-mus. Aren’t Europeans cute?).

Read MoreDear U.S. Porn,
I will begin and end this letter with a question.
When a train that you would like to get on stops and the doors open, do not immediately thrust yourself onto the train. Instead, dipshit, stand to the side of the doors so that people wishing to get off the train may do so.

The Swedish Academy that awards the Nobel Prize for Literature says that it won’t announce a winner this year because of a scandal over sexual misconduct.
On the back of the Me Too movement, 18 women have come forward claiming sexual assault and physical abuse against the husband of one of the Academy members, causing her to resign. Several others have followed suit.

From this day forward it is permissible, unassailable, and encouraged to smack, hit, roundhouse kick or otherwise jar a mobile phone, game console, camera or any other hand-held device out of the hand of any dipshit walking while staring at it; provided, however, that any human, animal, robot or other being who walks while staring at a handheld device shall be considered a ‘dipshit’ for the purpose of this decree regardless of IQ and any and all other factors.

Read MoreEli Manning’s prolific start streak will come to an end tomorrow so that the Giants can get a look at Geno Smith and Davis Webb.
There has been an outcry that Eli deserves better. I agree. But even more than that, us Giants fans deserve better.
By demoting Eli, not only are the Giants turning the remainder of this season into the equivalent of a bunch of meaningless pre-season games, they’re also giving up on
