They would have realized the train was coming if it groaned a little louder.
Its a soccer thing. He is Mexican after all. He gets much flack on Jets sites for it.
Its so ghey. So now Im torn between getting #2 son off soccer and into wrestling...for freshman year.
Ghey headbands, or rolling around on the floor with other guys dressed in tights. Lmap.
(Its wrestling, bc he looks like Tarzan. Naturally lean, and strong like bull)
In soccer, he makes kids cry.... But we don’t do wrestling in middle school..

The rule of thumb in DC is that whichever chamber of Congress has the Dem control must always be propitiated ...
Sad, but true.
Just Ben and Antonio Brown. That’s the offense. Considering he’s the only good receiver it’s amazing he can still get open.
Thats why El Nacho Loco got a bad rap. Last year we had Scarano (not an OC) and massive injuries at the skill positions.
In this offense we should be steamrolling teams. But new GM Idzik is a joke.
He signs 3 guys with character issues. None are on the team...why? Character issues.
Signs Garrard, a guy with injury issues, retires, why Injury issues.
Signs Chris Ivory a guy with injury issues, out, why injury issues.
Takes Dee Milliner 9 overall after having 5 surgeries, out sunday, injury issues, and Tenn went after his replacement early and often.
Had Smith fall into his lap, at 39, and doubled down on the Garrard mistake, instead of realizing the only upgrade he needed, was the OC he already replaced.
Funny related story.
Last season, I almost got into fisticuffs during an in town game.
At the mid school level, every team has one kid, thats a scorer.
#2 has been taught to play defense by identifying that kid, than acting like a Center in Hockey. If the kid has the ball, he moves it, otherwise he has been instructed to deny it.
He drapes on kids,gets positions and muscles them around. Those scorers at that age, are used to being stars. (Hence the crying).
So, in one game, he’s got this kid, really irked. The kids father happened to be sitting near me, and the kid was speaking Russian to his father but it was clear what he was whining about, because he was pestering the ref as well.
Eventually he shoves #2 son down, gets carded.
Every time after that, when they came down the sideline within earshot, i would say”please don’t hurt little Johnny”
The father eventually got pi$$ed” stood up and said “what is your f@@@@ng problem”
(I thought he was going to take a swing)
I said, “obviously that kid isn’t as good as you two think he is.”
The other parents started sniggliing, and he left...lmao
Skylar told Walt that she had been threatened on Lydia's behalf.
So it sounds more like revenge than just housekeeping.
There are things I dislike about wrestling. The full body Spandex outfits, the groping and hugging and dirty stuff that goes on even while a ref is watching. Plus the skin rashes that lots of them get from the close contact and the filthy mats. I mean nasty skin rashes. However, they have a better shot at scholarships in wrestling than in soccer. Wrestling starts here in 6th grade.
Good comeback.
Yes, I wrestled into 10th grade..I know.
But he has no love for soccer.and its pretty clear that what he does like is the ability to exert his will, and on a one on one basis, so at least he’ll be challenged to rise to the occasion.
Well duh - anyone can throw if they have enough coverage and someone who can catch - but Rapey and Schaub ( who I call Squab) don’t scramble when the line breaks down.
If the gov shuts down at midnight does that mean no one can sign up for socialized medicine?
Extending the play is Raplesbergers best asset. Letting Wallace walk was stupid.
The hysteria over congress
Ratchets up a notch or two
Each time the drive-by media
Cries “oh, what shall we do?”
To propitiate the emperor,
They try to give us a scare
By saying DC will shut down-
But plenty of us don’t care
In fact, we’re really gleeful
To shove them under the bus-
As long as business is closed
They can’t steal from the rest of us...
A+++
Loved it!
Thank you!
Nice!
Is the classroom on holiday in celebration of the government shutdown-have we started saving money yet?
