He Got Game?



Ok, let's take a minute and break down these poses.

On the left, naturally, we have Sen. Barack Obama, of Illinois, an avowed South-Sider and Bears fan (apparently) who seems to have a better grip on the ball than either of his team's potential starting quarterbacks. However, I'd be willing to bet Orton's got him when it comes to Neck-Beard ability, and Grossman is probably a bigger douche.
Ball's got no laces, though, so it's probably a tough spiral.

Now let's look to the right side of the page.

Senator, it's a football, not an urn with your mother in it. Who in the campaign was unwilling to tell this guy to drop a shoulder like he did in the backyard? Seriously, the man looks like he's presenting that thing for a Showcase Showdown on the Price Is Right.

As I'm sure you're all aware, I was really waffling on my choice this election, but now my choice is clear. That is all.

In order to save space and increase efficiency Matt, I suggest you start using a term that Flip taught me.

Neck Beard = Neard

You'll be amazed at how many more hours you will find in your average day by using this one space-saving device.

See, I don't like that term, because I think it brings some confusion into the labeling process.

I think a Neard could be a regular beard early on in the process. It's too much to be a five o'clock shadow, but it certainly isn't a beard yet, so it's a Neard.

Throwing it out there.

I think people that skip the fantasy football draft are not allowed to cast aspersions on the knicknames for unsightly body hair.

I did not SKIP it, I FORGOT ABOUT IT.
And furthermore, I draft better in absentia, so that was a tactic. How else could I possibly have gotten Fantasy powerhouses Ryan Grant AND Steven Jackson?

Ugh, my team sucks.
