The Swamp

Yup, that's him. He lived an awesome life.

Even if you're not a George Jones fan, everyone should read his autobiography. (I Lived To Tell It All.) There are some crazy stories in there like him being wasted out of his mind and trying to rip Porter Wagoner's dick off. To do as much booze and drugs as he did and to live to 81 is incredible.

Or he paid for an escort.

The disconnect between the national and Detroit media about the Ansah pick is pretty hilarious. The national guys love the pick -- Pete Prisco gave the Lions the only A+. The Detroit media is basically calling him Darko Ansah.

Yup.

I'm not much of a country music fan, but Jones was incredible. Him, Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash to me ARE country music.

Boston Strong is Detroit Weak.

The fact that Fisher went number 1 makes up for the Lions taking a stiff at #5. So tonight is a good night. Fire up Chips!

So so proud. This is close as CMU will get to winning a national title. Fire Up Chips!

PFT is reporting that Kansas City will draft Eric Fisher No. 1 overall.

We would do it like once a semester or so during college and it was like taking a two-week vacation over about 12 hours. I felt relaxed for days afterwards.

Don't really miss weed, though I don't have very many opportunities to partake, but what I really miss is LSD. Not as a regular thing, but as a two or maybe three times a year type thing.

Just to add to Brian's comments - if you carry extra cards, you need to keep in mind what annual fees are involved. If you ever travel to foreign countries, get a card that doesn't hit you for currency translation fees. That can be huge, so read the fine print. I've got one card specifically for th...

Chase Freedom is supposed to have the best rewards. The APR isn't the best, but I always pay in full, so it isn't an issue. I don't think the interest is all that bad anyways. You haave to have good credit to get a card from them, though. This. Chase's customer service is every bit as good as Amex'...

At this point I just hope the Lions take anyone OTHER than Ansah. Which means of course that they're gonna take him. Lions fans tell me their secondary is, well, a secondary concern because they resigned that guy they resigned. I disagree with them. What say you? This is probably going to be a long...

I've been avoid draft coverage as much as possible because I think it's pointless to read mock drafts. The draft itself would be more fun if they didn't have six talking heads per network babbling the same shit over and over. All I really care about is who goes where in the AFC Central and whether ...

What are they looking to get for him? Seen any reports on that?

Can't believe we don't have a thread for this yet. Rumors are flying around everywhere. Should be some deals happening pretty soon.

A couple of reports have the Chiefs trying to move Branden Alpert and if they can't, they'll take Eric Fisher with the first overall pick.

De nada.

Chicago Cubs manager Dale Sveum caused a stir the other day by suggesting that first baseman Anthony Rizzo and shortstop Starlin Castro could be sent to the minors if they didn't ... well, I'm not sure what they are supposed to do, because Castro is hitting better than the median National League sho...

Here's my pick for an upbeat, "summery" type pop song. Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. is awesome.

The NFL might end up with some egg in its face, too. Haslem was considered a premier prospective NFL owner when the NFL referred him to the Browns, and that is after the NFL vetted him. But yes, this is looking like another sucker punch for the Browns. If Haslem goes, I have to think Banner and Lom...

Jimmy Haslem had an interesting day. This is a huge deal and it is going to be bigger. Years and years of orchestrated, organized defrauding of customers. Apparently, a couple key execs have been wearing wires for months for the feds, and allegedly all the top execs of the Haslem's family's company...

Yeah, I was psyched when I moved to Las Vegas a few years ago to check them out, but it never really did much for me, especially relative to the prices and crowds. But it has been awhile and you guys have referenced some stuff in the past that sounds pretty good, so I might have to check them out ag...

Never mind. I figured it out. Pretty cool.

In Michigan (and most states -- MA included I believe), police officers at colleges and universities are considered state police. So, if he had killed an FBI agent, it would be a federal crime, but killing a campus police officer would (theoretically) be a state crime. ETA: Throwing a wrench into th...

Thanks, chedda. Another question, if you don't mind. Tsarnaev can be charged Federally on First Degree (or higher?) murder charges on the death of the MIT officer, though, can't he? As part and parcel of committing an act of terrorism, or some such language? Plus, didn't they seriously injure at le...

The above is also why lefties tend to have (relative to their numbers in the general population) a lot more success in pro bowling. Since there are fewer lefties there are fewer bowlers dragging their oil down that side of the lane. Meaning they can throw their shot more consistently and don't have ...

And Brian, I think I'd be interested in the differences in oil pattens and what it changes. Because, much like Zman, my method is throw the ball as straight and as hard as possible at all times. Which leads to my sterling 104 average or something like that. I bowled a 194 one time. Had a chance to ...

I'm presuming he's not being charged with the death of the MIT officer at this time. I imagine they have him dead to rights on that and worst case he does life in a MA prison without possibility of parole.

Yeah, I wish it had occurred to me to follow ZMan's suggestion and try to adapt to the different lane conditions. Kind of kicking myself here.

Albert Brooks' real name is "Albert Einstein".

Nice. We have to get out to Cali soon. I know that Dogfish Head is coming out with a Dead themed beer here soon, though don't know if we'll get it or not. Very strange that we sometimes get their 90 IPA and NEVER get their 60. As for the Racer 5. That is a very tasty IPA. If you can find Deshutes' ...

Damn. Very impressive. My bowling center, because they're a bunch of fucking morons, have been making our league bowl on an oil pattern used for the USBC National Championships for the last several weeks* and it has been a bloodbath on our scoring. I'm always impressed when the pros are throwing roc...
