202 Seconds of Ecstasy

The Fine Five - September 6, 2013

(1) Debate season is officially kicking in to gear; I know this because the legislative dockets for both varsity and novice chambers for our September 28 PBCFL Congressional were released Wednesday and distributed/discussed in class today. And the first weekend Congressional Debate workshop is this Sunday at Panera Bread.

(2) Booooooooooo! Shame on you, Sportservice, for firing the Detroit Tigers' long-time singing hot dog man, Charley Marcuse! Booooooooooo!

(3) Memo to Tim Tebow (who I really do like, despite what I'm about to write): WAKE UP ALREADY! Your many accomplishments at the University of Florida were amazing. Yes, you managed to lead Denver to an NFL playoff victory a few years ago. And yes, the New York Jets fucked you over six times over last year. But you apparently couldn't cut it as a backup to Tom Brady in New England, and maybe you need to reconsider your employment future. I realize you really, really want to be an NFL quarterback ... and I respect your dreams ... but unless there's a huge paradigm shift in the league, that ain't gonna happen. Guess what - you aren't any more special than the rest of us in the grand scheme. Stop being so stubborn and realize you may need to make personal adjustments in your career choices. Like Billy Beane said (at the 1:11 mark), adapt or die ...

(4) For the record, I really like Moneyball ... which is really more of a stat geek movie than a baseball movie. Nerd heaven!

(5) Thanks, Peyton Manning. You and your seven goddamn touchdown thrown have totally fucked up my opening week of fantasy football. You couldn't wait until next week?

Weird News of the Day

From The Daily Mail: "Rihanna and Lady Gaga's bodyguard is tasered to death by police 'after breaking into neighbor's mansion naked while high on cocaine'" - Good times, yeah ...

Stupid News of the Day

From International Business Times: "NASA Joins Instagram. Get Ready For Cosmic Selfies" - Instagram has now officially jumped the shark.

Florida News of the Day

From South Florida Sun-Sentinel: "Pair caught having sex at abandoned site charged with trespassing, police say" - Lord, forgive us our trespasses ... because we suspect the legal system own't!
