Sager Bombs

That’s Durant, in a fake OKC jersey 

Well hasn’t it just been a great day?  Have you seen they’ve been making mock jerseys and having a “name the team” tournament over at the Oklahoma Paper?  Isn’t that fun? 

Did you hear about Lofa Tatupu’s DUI?  Does it make it better knowing he was driving a 2006 Hyundai?  No?  How about he just tried to pull into a McDonalds with his boys?  Stars… They’re Just Like Us!  Still not ok? 

Oh, and as we speak, the Mariners are losing again.  McClaren has put Miguel Freakin Cairo (season batting average: .125) in the 2 spot in the batting order.  Decadent managerial choice, or merely shrewd?  He’s already 0-2 tonight.  That’s not hitting the reset button, Fig Jam, that’s throwing the remote control at the television and ripping up your copy of Nintendo Power before you go back upstairs and cry.  Um, not that I ever did that.

Ugh.  This is why they have waiting periods to purchase guns.

Remember the old school nintendo?  Yeah you do.  What a great introduction into video gaming.  I consider myself truly priviliged to be in the generation of America’s youth that got to realize the introduction of the NES and the pandora’s box of video gaming that has spawned from its creation.  I do wish that it hadn’t destroyed my attention span, convinced the generation behind me that ’school’ and ’sports’ and ‘being outside’ aren’t necessary from ages 8-18, and will generally come to be realized as the catalyst for the downfall of the great American culture,  But anyhow….I digress.
