Friday Afternoon Nap - January 9th

costanzanapping It's Friday again already. Right? Isn't it? I think I'm gay. [Goddamn it Scott! I leave my computer for two fucking seconds!]

So now, you've got to figure out a way to kill off the next couple of hours. You just ate a big meal, and things are getting awfully drowsy. Maybe it doesn't quite feel like Friday just yet. Maybe last night you played a bunch a Joy Division songs with a half-real half-fake band you're kind of in and maybe got more drunk than you planned at the show. Maybe you're not yet feeling any better.

Five o'clock is coming like a freight train, but first you've got to get through these next couple of excruciating hours. Don't worry... this will help. . .


+ The New York Mets brand new ballpark is way ahead of schedule on becoming a run-down shit-hole like their last one. [Beehive Hairdresser]

+ The Recently Deflowered Girl: The Right Thing to Say On Every Dubious Occasion is serious and quite peculiar. [Livejournal]

+ I can't decide if a new Star Wars-themed toy, The Force Trainer, is really awesome or severely retarded. Probably both. [Film Drunk]

+ Cal Ripken, still retired, has his eyes on the record for longest consecutive streak of days being retired. [Roto Zoo]

+ Rumours and Rants does its best Drunk Jays Fans impression. [Rumors and Rants]

+ Six completely baffling old-school video game commercials. [Cracked]

+ I don't care that you'd prefer not to know how much jizz is in an average Motel 6 room. You're going to sit there and watch this and find out.

+ If only I'd known he was running, I would have campaigned so hard for McBain!

+ And because there can really never be enough Ranier Wolfcastle...

+ Michael Jordan is one hell of a fucking actor.

+ Just. Too. Seriously. Funny. To. Not. Exclaim. As. Much. Using. Single. Word. Sentences.

+ Gee, I wonder why this kid isn't in the public school system? (Actually, I'll save you five minutes and just tell you, it's because he's a smug little awkward nerd boy pecker.)

Dude seriously this has to stop. Like really needs to stop. I only stumbled upon this blog because the basketball guys haven't updated their blog.

99% of the hat tips you do, are just taking other great websites ideas and posting them on here. As great as that sounds, I would rather just go to the original websites. You know, give credit where credit is due

I would think after the many blogs you have produced, and the "zero" comments you have received, you would realize "jeez maybe I don't have anything to offer" You try to be funny, but you come across as a plagiarizing, uneducated, boring baseball fan.

I don't know what the Score is paying you, but please tell them to stop. Its just terrible, like really terrible. Your attempt to be funny and try to be witty like a blog such as "withleather" is just a sad pathetic attempt to fill up space on TheScore.com

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but its just I don't see the point of this entire blog. There is just no room for someone who is a "pretender" when there are quality blogs on this site, coming from people who legitimately know what they are talking about.

I see you saying two things here. One (content) I don't mind addressing, the other (that I don't know what I'm talking about) is just kind of baffling, because it's not like we're doing deep analysis here, so I'm just going to chalk that up to you being a dick with a flimsy point and just grasping at straws for something negative to say, so I'll leave it alone.

With regard to content, yes, there's a lot of content here that can be found elsewhere-- just like there's a lot of content on With Leather, Deadspin, Busted Coverage, the Big Lead, Sports By Brooks, and any website of this type that can be found elsewhere. There's also a lot that cannot, FYI. And, um, that's pretty much exactly how these types of blogs work. Would I prefer to get stuff up on here before other blogs do? Of course. But am I going to ignore something just because someone else has already posted it? No. If I think it's something worth looking at, I'll post it-- and I'll give credit to where I found it. If I miss it, call me on it, I'll fix it. You don't have to look very hard to see that I own up to where the content is coming from. And if you don't think I'm funny, I'm sorry for your shitty sense of humour. (Unless you're talking about the Romo post, which OK, is pretty weak even by my standards.)

Well...I still like the blog.

If I had to be completely honest, it's definitely not as good as some of the stuff you were posting at DJF when you were really in your stride, which was, simply nails (and consequently earned you this gig). But come on, there's just so much fresh and funny content one writer can come up with before you start rehashing shit a bit and the quality stars to dip. Even the incomparable FJM kind of got to that point.

Anyway, I know you get dick posters all the time still (mostly at DJF). I never really post, but most of the dicks don't put quite as much thought into their dickish arguments as honest fan did, so I thought I would post here. I still read both blogs pretty regularly, and I for one really enjoy the work that you do. Keep it up Stoeten.
