Turdrific Tuesday

Better late than never. I should really look into writing this thing on Monday nights and posting Tuesday morning. Like the woman this morning who cut me off and then gave me the finger when I returned the favor, time management is a real bitch.

NFL Free Agency

For proof the NFL has more money than it knows what to do with, look no further than this article. $55 million for Javon Walker?!

The good ol' boys that make up the NFL owners are beginning to make Major League Baseball look like Kevin Arnold's dad. Pretty soon they'll be scolding their GMs for equipment being left out in the rain and making sure their beat up sedans run nearly forever.

What's fascinating about the annual insanity revolving around NFL free agency is the majority of contracts are not played out. The odds of Javon Walker being cut in the next five years are pretty damn good. There is a 99.999999% chance of it happening.



That's a fact, Jack.

Here's what happens with the other .000001%.

As the price of players continues to increase, so will the cost of tickets, beer, hot dogs and apparel. And glass banker's lamps. And shower curtains. And thongs.

The NFL...laughing all the way to the bank.

When does football start again?

Deadspin and some dude named Brian Joiner

I'm so upset.



Will Leitch and the Deadspin crew didn't even dignify my request to contribute with a response. Even worse, it seems to have been just a precursor of what was to come, as San Diego upset Gonzaga last night and the Sun Devils could now be on the outside looking in, making the kickass preview I would have written for them all for naught.

When I think of what could have been, I come back to one question. Why?







Why?






And was listing my desire to have James Harden's baby as a qualification for writing said Sun Devils preview a bad idea?
