Braylon to the Jets.  Wow.  He can drop balls New York and punch Yi's little buddy.

And Crabtree signed.

The Pillsbury Throwboy.

I thought he was the Hefty Lefty.  I guess he's big enough to merit two nicknames.

From the wikipedia:

QuoteDue to Lorenzen's considerable girth, he has been given a collection of nicknames, which include: "Quarter(got)back",[3] "Hefty Lefty",[4] "The Pillsbury Throwboy",[5] "The Abominable Throwman", [6] "J.Load",[7] "Round Mound of Touchdown", "Tubby Gunslinger" [8][7]"BBQ (Big Beautiful Quarterback)"[9] "Battleship Lorenzen",[10] "Butterball",[11], "Lord Of The Ring-Dings"[12], and "He Ate Me".[13]

Winner?

Wrong.  It's a 2 way tie between J.Load & Lord of the Ring-Dings.

Why don't you go host American Idol?

The subtle meta-jokes on this show are outstanding.

Every bit of THIS.  Abed's dad meeting Abed, Britta and Winger in the classroom and saying "Hey, where's Weezer?!" and Winger saying "Weezer will get here soon." made me happy.

The actor who plays Abed is fantastic.  And Chevy Chase is actually funny for the first time in at least 10 years. 

Annie: "Shirley, that was the most racist thing I've ever heard."

Jeff: "Pierce will beat that in one minute."

...

Troy: "You're not my mom!"

Pierce: "She's not?"

The only characters on the show that aren't very good are Annie and Shirley.

You're a fucking shithead.

You seem to be dodging my real question.  Are you saying that his behavior is OK, and that he deserves absolutely no backlash assuming the facts are as reported?

I think he deserves to take some grief for his actions. That said, as Pen notes, he's one of the guys that got them to this point in the first place.

My bigger quibble is with this (a far cry from saying he deserves more than "absolutely no backlash" for this behavior)...

If I were a GM, this guy would be on my list of players I wouldn't get near with Joe Francis' cock.

Are you saying you wouldn't want this CLUBHOUSE CANCER anywhere near the Cubs, for example?

Because that would be a ludicrous thing to say.

It's less about him being a "Clubhouse Cancer", and more about the fact that I'd be nervous paying this guy an average of $19M over seven years when he clearly doesn't take care of himself...and apparently, has some pretty shitty judgment to go along with it.   If there's anything we've learned recently from the thrilling action of Cubs baseball...it should be the damage of bad/risky contracts that you can't unload.

Here's Cabrera's contract schedule:   08:$11.3M, 09:$15M, 10:$20M, 11:$20M, 12:$21M, 13:$21M, 14:$22M, 15:$22M

Sorry, you can have that.  Also, First Basemen with low .900 OPS basically grow on trees.  There were 12 of them that had a qualifying number of ABs.   Cabrera was eighth on the list.

So yea...I don't really feel like I need him for that price.

Well, fraternizing with the opposing team in the middle of a pennant race, being drunk late on a "work" night, and smacking his wife around... that's one thing. But:

Making fun of a fat kid? The straw that broke the camel's back.  I'm lobbying my Tiger fan friends to start a campaign to trade this loser ASAP. To the Cubs.

Such a move would make make BananaHands devour some breakfast between heaving sobs.

Cabrera was a fat kid, he can make fun of other fat kids. It's a rule.
It's why Fork can make fun of unfunny people.

Why Mike Douche can call mentally challenged people "retards" while wearing a bike helmet.

I don't know the strip clubs that PenFoe goes to, but if I thought that there was jizz that needed to be mopped at any of the places I had visited in my youth, I never would have set foot inside.  Gross.

We get it, you're cheap.

Perhaps, but I mainly try to stay away from strip clubs that have jizz on the floor.

We get it, you've never been to a strip club.

Kissing Suzy Kolber comes through again.

Thank you

And thank you for adopting a 1.4 MB image as your avatar, thus displaying it on every page you post on.

It's 1.4 MB? That, I didn't know. If it's costing Dolan money, it'll leave. If not, then I might leave it up to piss you off

It's not costing Dolan anything, as it's not on his server.

It just slows down the page load on anyone's computer who doesn't already have the animated gif cached.

Really, though, 1.4 MB isn't all that bad. Chad's old avatar was over 3 MB.

Suck it AVATAR!

ND is going to lose by a million to Southern Cal.  Dammit.

Actually, ND might not get blown out, but that would only be because USC may not be as good as they have been, not because ND is any good. 

Or they might be.  Maybe.  We'll see.

BTW, this movie has got to be better than the other 2012 movie. I watched it the other day and it was horrid. Acting was horrid along with everything else. Apparently, the planets were going to be in a perfect line and causing all these earthquakes, blah blah. Chicks were not too attractive. During a hail storm, this guy was inexplicably swerving all throughout it. I'm not sure if he felt he could miss the hail, but he was unlucky and one struck the windshield, went through it, and killed him. Good stuff

Was it horrid or good stuff?
