I got yer Pro Bowl right here.

Feb 11, 2008 Anger, Bloggerating, Fluff, Inanity, Non-Texan stuff

Those of you tuning in this morning to read a pithy recap of the Pro Bowl will be disappointed. Not because I won’t be a smartass, but, rather, because I boycotted the game due to the egregious injustice that was the absence of Mario Williams.

In the interest of full disclosure, it should be noted that I generally only watch about the first 20 minutes of the game anyway. Who the hell wants to see people NOT hit Tony Romo as hard as they possibly can? Certainly not I.

But, anyway…I refused to watch any of it yesterday. I’m sure the NFL is reeling from this loss. In lieu of Pro Bowl coverage, however, I present to you:

A Random Number Of Links That Have Dick To Do With Anything!

1. ***In news that I am sure all of you support (or at least any of you that I like), “Stupid beer laws” are going away around the country. Of course, there is still no sign that Arkansas is going to repeal the uber-ignorant Sunday sales ban that plagues me every weekend, again proving that this state hates me.
2. ***Speaking of the state that time forgot, it appears that there is LEPROSY in Northwest Arkansas. Now, the Department of Health says it is not an “outbreak,” as only nine people are infected, but still…LEPROSY? Seriously? I didn’t even think that existed anywhere in the U.S. Outside of Anna-Megan’s pants, of course.
3. ***The Dream Shake (aka The Only Blog Solely Dedicated To The Rockets That Is Worth Reading) thinks Stern picked Rasheed Wallace for the NBA All-Star game out of spite. I love this theory, if only because that is the type of shit I like to do as a parent. It’s good for the kids. And for ‘Sheed.
4. ***Official invite list for the 2008 Combine. I still say one of the events should be sending the guys to a strip club with $10,000 in ones.
5. ***The other day, BFD and I were invited to join a bigger website as football contributors. We considered it briefly, until we saw this caveat: “All submissions must comply to accepted decency standards. No obscenities, inflammatory or slanderous statements, or abusive comments will be tolerated and are grounds for immediate withdrawal of content, as well as withdrawal of writing/podcasting privileges, without reimbursement.” Umm…yeah…fuck that shit.
