It's Duck Season!
Trying to track down the world's biggest Pirates fan
You'd have a better chance finding Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, A leprechaun, a fan in Cleveland who was alive the last time they won something, etc.
I'm partial to horrifying human rights violations but I also enjoy some One Sweet Whriled from time to time. So I'm torn.
But Larry Bird is just doing regular losin', not Isiah-Thomas-style fancy losin'. Where's his Anucha Browne-Sanders?
@Burning River:
If they're going by weight, there'll be a helluva lot of candidates in the Pittsburgh area.
@ArkansasFred: This reminds me: apparently Edy's sells a Girl Scout Samoas flavored ice cream. Anyone seen it?
The people from Haagen-Dazs think those people in Darfur are getting what's coming to them.
@ArkansasFred: I guess no one at Ben and Jerry's gets to spend hours trying to work "Religious Intolerance" into an ice cream flavor name.
@DennyCrane: [www.dreyers.com]
Quick, name any one MLS player, not named Beckham.
Anyone?
Anyone?
OK, next question.
@MattinglysSideburns: We eat because our baseball team gives us low self-esteem.
@DennyCrane:
I have a large container in my freezer. Not as good as the cookie, but it still makes me weep tears of joy.
@Schluby:
How much time do you have?
@UkraineNotWeak: Wabbit Season!
World's Biggest Pirate Fan [mavarin.com]
@Schluby: I acutally play in ESPN's MLS Fantasy league, so I can name a lot of players for you if you want.
@Schluby:
Donovan, Angel, Altidore, Gomez, Blanco. It's easy if you pay attention.
Not cool enough for you I suppose.
@Andrew: @EastCoastBlue: Wow, now I know there are at least two people in the world that have less of a life than I do.
@Schluby:
I know someone who actually won the frickin' thing once. He's a highly productive member of society.
@Schluby: It takes a special kinda crazy to get up at 7:30 on a Saturday to watch Wigan-Sunderland, I'll give you that.
God deliver us. i'm watching John Adams stick it to the Brits. Curse their English blood for giving the world soccer. Almost makes me cheer for the Pats next year.
*punches self in balls
@Andrew: That's not crazy, I've woke up early to catch a few Liverpool games.
Not anti-soccer here...Love Premier League action. I just don't think MLS will thrive one day in this country.
I will drag my ass to see the NJ Red Metrobulls when they either pay me to go to into Jersey or play somewhere that isn't Jersey.
@Schluby: I think that if MLS is going to be at all popular someday, people need to support it now, while it's still not as good as the rest of the leagues. I don't believe MLS will ever be on par with England or Spain, but it can and should improve as long as people support the league.
@Andrew:
Steve Morrow thinks you're wrong.
@Andrew:
Well said Andrew. metrobulls, you'll be able to get to the new stadium in Harrison in 2009 via a short ride on the PATH train. Or you can just wait for a second team in Queens and drag your ass out there instead, though I'm not sure how that's an improvement.
@BigTenObsession: I loathe you.
I'm guessing the logical step from running minor league basketball is coaching the Knicks, right?
Millionth time: MLS. Not "the" MLS.
