Throw Eggs, It’s Devil/Cabbage/Mischief Night
Halloween October 30th. 2009, 5:30pm
And here, we, GO! It’s the biggest sports weekend in the history of the world. On Sunday the NBA, NFL, NHL and MLB will play games on the same day for the first time. There are rivalry games. Favre returns to Green Bay. World Series games 3 and 4. A lot of college football. There’s even EPL on tomorrow.
Tonight – (21) WVU @ USF, Bulls @ Celtics, Mavs @ Lakers. And that’s just on ESPN. I’m sure there are other options in the NBA and NHL depending on your cable package.
Or just go out. It’s the night before Halloween. You’ve got an actual excuse to drink. And I hear there will be girls dressed in small outfits. Hernia and I will be here this weekend when we aren’t out painting the town red in our team costume. (I’m Tony Kornheiser and he’s Mike Wilbon.) Send tips kids. They make the world go ’round.

Those four chicks cannot believe Halloween.
October 30th, 2009 at 5:42 PM
paint the town red and call it HELL
October 30th, 2009 at 5:44 PM
Where I grew up, we called the night before Halloween “Cabbage Night.” I have no idea why. Small town.
October 30th, 2009 at 5:45 PM
maybe, fuck no, yes, probably
October 30th, 2009 at 5:47 PM
Fetch, gtfo here with that “no” garbage.
October 30th, 2009 at 5:48 PM
that 2nd girl looks like trash. Cmon now.
October 30th, 2009 at 5:51 PM
I think I’m a little more surprised you said ‘maybe’ for the girl on the far left. I’d pick her first and blonde that’s second from the right second.
October 30th, 2009 at 5:51 PM
You’ve got the vision of an umpire.
October 30th, 2009 at 5:53 PM
Yes, No, Yes, Maybe (Depends on the drinks)
October 30th, 2009 at 5:55 PM
ms after careful review, I’m putting her 2nd on the list. Girl on the far right bumped to 3rd. 2nd girl still in 15th
October 30th, 2009 at 5:56 PM
Bunch of lying Brad Clooneys around this place. Yes x 4.
October 30th, 2009 at 5:58 PM
Have any of you enlarged the picture?

October 30th, 2009 at 6:02 PM
fetch – I’ve been to Grand Forks, the talent base isn’t good enough for you to be saying no to ant of them
October 30th, 2009 at 6:02 PM
yes,yes,yes,yes Then I’d have a massive stroke and die cause I’m an ole coot who shouldn’t be shtupping coeds.
October 30th, 2009 at 6:04 PM
Yes x4 as well.
I just got a call from a friend offering me a 3rd row ticket to the Wolves/Cavs game tonight! Hopefully Lebron drops 50+ tonight.
October 30th, 2009 at 6:05 PM
hawkeye that is massively incorrect. You should have seen the chicks that were out last night. Not that I went home with any of them, just saying.
By the way, you won the bet. Feel free to email me the gravatar you want me to use.

yes, in descending order from left to right, and the two on the left mess around with each other while i watch if i’m too tired after the two on the right.
October 30th, 2009 at 6:25 PM
Didn’t all four sports play in 2001 on the Sunday the Yankees lost to the D-Backs in game 7? I know that game was on Sunday night because the Jets were playing the Saints on Sunday night football (Kyle Turley helmet throw game). Yeah I am a loser.
Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes.

How is anyone saying #4 is a yes? Jesus.

since it’s “cabbage night”, I say we let him get first pick of those four beasts. He deserves it, he’s great.
October 30th, 2009 at 7:14 PM
how’s the back, jpq?
October 30th, 2009 at 7:15 PM
I’d let any of these girls fuck me.
October 30th, 2009 at 7:15 PM
I believe all 4 major sports also played on the same day in 2001.
October 30th, 2009 at 7:16 PM
not bad, hawkeye, thx. I little sore today (expected), but the splitting headache all day wasn’t. I’m on the Gods of the Gridiron Halloween path of taking painkillers like tic tacs and handing out candy bars-lol
October 30th, 2009 at 7:17 PM
Descending order, L to R. And is a “drunk yes” if that’s a tan. A “yes” if she’s Asian.
October 30th, 2009 at 7:18 PM
Mix in a scotch or two, and you have a hell of a night.
Everything go OK?
October 30th, 2009 at 7:18 PM

October 30th, 2009 at 7:18 PM
@erich – I think its the first time when all sports are in regular or post season.
October 30th, 2009 at 7:21 PM

that’s what I figured-lol
yeah, he thinks so. stitches come out next Friday, and final pathology will be back by then, so I’ll know for sure, but he felt good about it. I got a nice 4-5 inch slice in my mid back and a 2-3 incher on my shoulder.
October 30th, 2009 at 7:22 PM
CRM, he’s thinking post planes into buildings when the W/S got pushed by a whole week, that game 7 was played on Sunday 11/4, 2001.

Good to hear that everything went well!

I feel great about my outfit for tonight. Work party, wanna hook up with a coworker.
October 30th, 2009 at 7:28 PM
my chipotle was exquisite. i can see why it is addictive. i got the chicken burrito rice pinto beans medium sauce. it was ‘UGE. i still have half of it left that i am going to reheat right now.
October 30th, 2009 at 7:30 PM
A chick who lives in your building AND a co-worker? You really like playing Russian Roulette, don’t you?

October 30th, 2009 at 8:23 PM
basketball poll cassino? If so, they DID lose their coach…
October 30th, 2009 at 8:35 PM
Bucks to decline Vanilla Sky’s contract option. TBL hyped the shit out of this dude and he was a higher pick than Redick, but I doubt we’ll see anything about it.
October 30th, 2009 at 8:40 PM
Yeah, basketball. Not only did they lose their coach, they lost their point guard (Daniel Hackett), center (last year’s Pac-10 Defensive POY, Taj Gibson), best wing (DeMar DeRozan) and another starting forward (Keith Wilkinson). Their recruiting class consists of 1 player who isn’t very good. Add this to the fact that with those players they weren’t amazing and only made the tourney last year because they won the Pac-10 tournament. They also are in the midst of an NCAA investigation concerning Tim Floyd’s actions.
If they finish higher than 8th in the Pac-10 this year I’ll be amazed. They are terrible.
October 30th, 2009 at 8:48 PM
They still have Lil Romeo. They’ll be fine.
October 30th, 2009 at 8:52 PM
chipotle burritos can make a man happy fr sure, but my only complaint is that all the rice is on one side of the thing, so no half bites uinless you like a moutful of rice
/been waiting so long to share this, sniff
October 30th, 2009 at 8:58 PM
the only thing that i wasnt happy about was that the chick just put rice on there like i didnt have a choice in the matter. and the mild sauce is too chunky. i hate veggies.
October 30th, 2009 at 8:58 PM
quick but incredible story of my excellent resourcefulness.
i get the 2-yo twins dressed in the halloween gear. wife’s at work, which is where we’re going because she planned an excellent halloween party and really wants her kids there.
next is the 4-yo’s Cleopatra costume. she got her eyes all lined in black for that by a neighbor. we’ve had the flu going around our house and the 4-yo has had a fever. she pukes halfway through getting her ready.
i give her a bath, she’s fine, she says, so we decide to go anyway, but wait! i can;t put her in cleopatra because it’s got puke on it. we find a pretty little princess dress, and i put some black motorcyle-looking boots on her.
the excess eye-liner makes her look like a damaged prom queen and i tell everyone she’s coutrney love
/not so quick
//i hear the applause
October 30th, 2009 at 9:01 PM
mrejr, i’ve never thought the rice was an option. if it wasn;t in there, the thing would be like a flat tire. probably how they make money. mild sauce, my man? is your middle name sheila?
October 30th, 2009 at 9:01 PM
+1. beat me to it.
October 30th, 2009 at 9:03 PM

October 30th, 2009 at 9:05 PM
vezina i think i got acid refluz or something i cant eat spicy stuff . i love spicy stuff but if i eat too much of it i end up waking up in the middle of the night and throwing up. prilosec is useless.
October 30th, 2009 at 9:07 PM
sorry, mrejr, i’ve been lucky iron-stomach-wise, so sometimes i’m not as sensitive as i should be. forgive?
October 30th, 2009 at 9:09 PM
vezina- no prob.

I’m glad I have to work tomorrow. a serious bout of “lazy” has hit me over the past few years and kids knocking at my door yelling “trick or treat” gives me migranes. I think I’m getting old.

None of those girls is Olivia Munn, but I wouldn’t toss any of ‘em off the futon.

to top it off, she threw up again when we got home. someone hire me, quick

You want to switch teams? News flash- Gaborik hurt. This just in. Earth revolves around sun. F this team. I can’t believe they traded the wrong centerman. Drury is a piece of crap. Drury’s best season was when he was 12 and played a different sport.

Come to think of it, the Rangers might be the only team with multiple Hobey winners.
October 30th, 2009 at 9:53 PM
Just heard this during the WVU/USF halftime show about USC/Oregon:
This game is important. Oregon can take the lead in the Pac 10, and USC can keep their national championship hopes alive.
/sigh
//why isn’t Oregon a national championship contender if they win?
///Oregon beat Washington by a gazillion points too
October 30th, 2009 at 9:54 PM
Nope just kidding, Blues have two as well.
October 30th, 2009 at 9:56 PM
They should be, but they’ll need a Boise State loss to jump them, in all likelihood.
October 30th, 2009 at 9:57 PM
Double just kidding, I forgot Peter Sejna doesn’t play for the Blues anymore. Fail.
By the way, if you want to see one of the sickest seasons in the history of ever, I point you to Paul Kariya’s Hobey season.
October 30th, 2009 at 9:57 PM
Because they would already be the champs because they would have beat the greatest team of this or any other decade! Those other losses don’t count, they were all fluke games.
October 30th, 2009 at 10:14 PM
Exactly, you can’t be a contender if you lost to a team whom most people think will never be good enough for the championship themselves and went undefeated. Oh, and if you’re in the pac10 and not USC, good luck
October 31st, 2009 at 12:36 AM
Nice to see the NBA make amends for Tim Donaghy’s allegations from his book. At one point Dallas had 26 free throw attempts to the Lakers’ 5. Ha!

October 31st, 2009 at 9:45 AM
Okay, I was waiting for a new post to attach this to, I might re-post as well.
Let me tell you all something, once you have a kid that’s two years old (+), you quickly learn Halloween is the biggest piece-of-crap holiday. The wife will jabber for weeks on end about these stupid costumes that the kids only half-like and won’t remember… she’ll spend way too much money on 2nd rate candy (at least spring for some Milky Way or Reese Cups if you’re going to blow our money), then you have to guard your pumpkins so some punk teens don’t decide to trash your nicely carved jack-o-lanterns. Sure I could assault these punks ala Albert Belle but I’d rather just hide the pumpkins at night.
So young’ins, drink up and enjoy these times. Because the grim reaper is coming. Viva Thanksgiving and Christmas where it’s more acceptable to get trashed on Great Lakes Christmas Ale. Damn it’s only 8:20am and I’m ticked, and I am a very happy person normally.

I don’t think any of that’s going to work for a whole wash cycle with electronics. That thing is probably soaked. If you were going to try anything though, it’s the silica gel inside of a tupperware container, once you’ve cracked the thing open. Of course, there’s no way you have enough silica gel packets, unless your wife owns forty pairs of shoes, or you’ve just bought a computer.

Also, I watched the premiere episode of The League last night. It is definitively the worst television show I’ve seen since Quarterlife. It was 36 minutes long, and it felt like it lasted two hours.
Their focus, it seemed, was making sure that every single segment was disgusting, and that every single character did something “over the top” in the pilot.
Fx doesn’t have to cancel shows, but it should live a very, very short life.
