I guarantee you that I have dated women this crazy. In fact, I bet you that Big and Bear would tell you that I actively seek these kinds of women out.
Thanks to Warming Glow, we’ve found my dream girl.
Go watch this video. Seriously. Go watch it now. Stop reading this. Click the damn link.
I love Channel 10 also.
I think that somehow, somewhere, the Sports Gods have decided to temporarily hold their hands over Dallas. I’m not sure if they’ve heard our bitches and moans and prayers. It might be forgiveness for time served after Laura Miller doomed us all with the “parade incident” in 2006. Either way, something is changing on the Dallas sports scene.
You might remember that since 2006, Dallas sports teams have broken hearts across the city. It was a bit staggered, Rangers winning 80 games then returning to suck. Mavs winning 63 games then flaming out against Golden State. Cowboys winning 13 games and returning to suck. Stars making an improbable run to the conference finals only to be ravaged by injuries and losing this year.
However, I went to the Mavs game last night and noticed something I haven’t noticed in a very long time. First, the Mavs were playing some of the best basketball they’ve played since 2006. Second, not a single fan in the house was “bandwagoning” (or so it appeared) .
Then, I get into the car to go home and flick on the Ranger postgame, and it dawns on me that the Rangers have started the season 2-0 and it has been a very convincing 2-0. I know, there’s 160 more games to play, but if you’ve ever been a Rangers fan, a 2-0 start with the way they’ve played these 2 games and the possibility to rock Pavano and then sweep a weak Detroit team and possible open 6-0? That’s nuts.
Compound that with all the stress reduction, fat cutting and new house moving that the Cowboys are doing and the fact that a disappointed Stars team is going to be healthy and hungry next sesaon, and you can almost feel a change brewing in the city again.
I’m not saying we’re going to be sweeping all the major titles in a single year. I’m not even saying we’re going to in a single title. What I’m saying is, perhaps the fans and teams have reached a sense of happy equilibrium…it’s something to think about.
We challenged you, you responded (kinda), and here is your prize, I present, without edit, the ramblings of Victor the Bear.
Wrestlemania 25 From the Eyes of a Casual Fan
I’m sure you’re already tired of reading my posts. I was thinking of doing this in my Championship acceptance speech but I think it warrants its own posting. As all of you know, myself, Big, Brown and El Blogador attended Professional Wrestling’s greatest spectacle this weekend by attending Wrestlemania 25. I’m not a fan like Big, Brown and Blogador are. I used to watch religiously back in high school but just sort of grew out of it, or so I thought. Well last year Big and Brown accepted me into watching it with them at a time I just needed out of my house. Lately I’ve tried to make it a point to watch it with them, but if we don’t all get together to watch I’m usually at the gym, or watching Chuck and Heroes. But there’s something to be said for attending one of these events, witnessing it live and right in front of you. If you’re looking for a breakdown of the match’s, or to talk about how many mullets we saw, or David Carr jerseys, I’ll leave that to Big and Brown.
Anyways, so when Brown got tickets to Wrestlemania 25 I was on the fence about going because A. How am I going to pay for this? And B. Am I a fan enough to enjoy this? Once I was able to pay for it I just figured I’m going to go down with no expectations and just enjoy the weekend. Well I was truly blown away. It was a great time, and I have a great lasting impression from being there. I tell everyone that even if you don’t like professional wrestling because you know it’s fake, or you think it’s childish, or beneath you, I say GO, GO, GO! It’s an amazing experience and just being there, surrounded by all the fans that come from all over the world to see this and feeling their energy during each match, this was one of the best events I’ve ever been to. It’s entertainment people… and damn they know how to entertain.
We’re just recovering from an awesome Wrestlemania weekend that saw one of the greatest matches in the history of pro wrestling, the invention of a brand new song about Mexican food and the witnessing of Big seemingly go brain dead.
While we’re in recovery, I wanted to point out that Bear did indeed win the Bracket Challenge that we held. I was second, Big was third, and Dorsey was fourth.
Congratulations you Bear-like sumonagun. We expect your post in the inbox soon.
I present you with what might be the funniest link on the internet:

Bears give up Orton, 2009 first and third rounder and a 2010 first rounder for Jay Cutler.
Wow.
Right or Wrong, I'm getting PAID BIAOCH!That’s 20 posts this week, and it’s not even Thursday afternoon.
Quit complaining we don’t post anymore, and start commenting/emailing to help us think of more stuff to post.
Yes, I’m talking about the movie, not a ranking of anything in particular. I loved this movie growing up (still do). In fact, sometimes, I’ll throw out a “TOMMY NO!” or "POP IT, TOMMY! POP IT!” and see if anyone picks up on it. For the record, only El Blogador has ever picked up on a “Best of the Best” movie reference.
Anyway, I’m flipping through the on demand listings yesterday, and lo and behold, I see the movie, so I immediately download it to the DVR. I started watching it yesterday, and the things I never gave a damn about when I was 10 really bothered me now.
First off, how am I supposed to believe that James Earl Jones is a bad ass karate coach? James Earl Jones. Granted, I would probably listen to the man if he ever yelled at me, but come on, nothing about James Earl Jones says karate.
Second, Eric Roberts. I understand that Eric Roberts has his place in Hollywood. Some might say it’s because he’s Julia’s brother, others would point to his acting. Personally, this movie was my real first exposure to him, so I’ve always seen Eric Roberts as Alex. However, he’s so over the top in this movie it was unintentional comedy at its finest
Third, Chris Penn. Why the hell was Chris Penn even cast in this movie? The cowboy character was odd in its own right because he’s billed from being from Miami, FL. Ahh yes, lots of cowboys in Miami. Also, why the hell was the greasy Italian guy from Detroit? Anyway, I digress. How the hell am I supposed to believe that Chris Penn is a karate fighter and brick breaker extraordinaire? Shit, the character and Penn were so “good”, he was the premise for Tommy fighting in one of the sequels!
I hate the fact that I can’t watch movies I used to love now-a-days because I take such a cynical and farcical look at aspects of the movie that I really should just gloss over. Next thing you’re going to tell me is that Angelina Jolie couldn’t actually hack into a multi-global network with a 28.8 modem that no one else owns. DAMN IT!
H/T: Devil Ball Golf
See that picture? That’s just an aerial picture of a green on a new golf course in South Africa that’s been shaped to look like the entire continent of Africa. It’s kind of cool, as this is the signature hole on this particular course.
Oh yeah, did I mention that you have to take a helicopter to the tee box because it sits 1,400 FEET OVER THE GOD DAMNED GREEN ON A MOUNTAIN!
Apparently, you tee off, and it takes almost 30 seconds for the ball to hit the ground. If you do manage to, somehow, nail a hole-in-one you get a million dollars.
Wanna see the view from the tee box?

I saw this link on The Big Lead, and I really didn’t know what to say. The only thing that came to mind was “Oh uh-My uh-God!'”
Chan Ho Park signed with the Phillies because they promised him the opportunity to win a job in the rotation.
He wanted that job so badly that he chose not to pitch for South Korea in the World Baseball Classic.
He learned Tuesday afternoon that those decisions paid off: he had beaten out J.A. Happ for the fifth job in the rotation.
Ladies and gentlemen…HUGE props to our man, Uni over at unitqm, as he has provided us with the thing we wanted most.
Saw this story on CNN.com, and found myself hanging my head and questioning humanity. I might be one of the few people I know who doesn’t smoke. Big smokes. Bear smokes. Whenever we leave a bar, I smell like I’ve been hanging out with Pete Rose’s sister.
If you read the story, the old man says that the government is “picking on poor people”. I’m gonna have to call bullshit there, buddy, as I’m pretty sure that a) no one forced you start smoking and b) the amount of money you spend on cigarettes could be spent towards quitting said cigarettes.
If you didn’t read the story, the U.S. government has slapped the biggest tobacco tax ever today, almost 62 cents a pack. Pretty hefty, but do I give a shit? Nope. Do I support it? Hell yeah, I do. Why the hell shouldn’t I? Last I checked, cigarettes cause cancer. I know that. You know that. The guy struggling to walk to his mailbox knows that. To quote KSK, “NO ONE DENIES THIS!” And, I think we can all agree, cancer sucks.
The government isn’t banning cigarettes, and you’re still allowed to have them. If they were making them illegal, it’d be a different story. However, if the government wants to tax the vices of the citizens, then I say it’s a damn smart idea to build revenue. These things aren’t a necessity to live, you wanna smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol that’s fine by me, but you’d better be able to afford it. It’s not a bad thing to take the concept and apply it to marijuana either. Make it legal and tax the shit out of it. It’s a great source of revenue in these current cash strapped times.
If you smoke, either shut up and pay extra or quit smoking.
