Sean Taylor Memorial Meast Of The Week – Divisional Round


Earlier this week, we had a bit of fun with our Tom Brady retirement hoax. It really, really pissed some people off on the ol’ message boards. Here are two fine examples:

This is just another Pats hater wanting to see the end of our success.

How big of a fuckin dweeb is big daddy drew? He writes angry. I bet he got head slapped in high school by guys that actually got real pussy. He's still bitter. Also; I think it's awesome when KSK plays at the Deadspin controls all weekend and links themselves.


Oh yeah. That’s-a good hatin’. But you know, there’s no reason YOU can’t get in on the fun as well. Lots of people like to wait until April 1st to spring a practical joke. Well, that’s just dumb. Everyone KNOWS it’s coming then. No, no. Far better to just do it out of the fucking blue. I’ll give you an example from about five years ago. One day, apropos of nothing, I dialed up my friend Jeremy at work.

Jeremy: Hello?

Me: Hey.

Jeremy: Hey.

Me: Dude, did you know Joe Montana died?

Jeremy: He did? When?

Me: Just saw it on the news now. Dropped dead of a heart attack. So sad.

Jeremy: Jesus, that sucks. I don't see it on cnn.com.

Me: Eh, probably just breaking on TV. I'm sure it'll be online soon. Anyway, gotta go. Just wondering if you had heard.

Jeremy: Okay, bye.

Jeremy then told everyone in his office the news. My phone rang ten minutes later.

Me: Hello?

Jeremy: Dude, why are you such a fucking asshole?

You see how that works? It helps if your friend is incredibly gullible, as Jeremy is. The secret is to make sure it’s not someone obvious who died. Like Britney Spears. That wouldn’t work. But Dennis Miller? Oh yeah.

So go forth and piss someone off today, you merry pranksters, you.

Your Meast of the Week is Atari Bigby Ryan Grant of the Packers.


Atari hits people really hard, and I like that. Grant ran for 201 yards and scored three touchdowns. Very measty. Did you know he died yesterday? It’s true!

You guys aren't going to believe this, but John and Sherlock Holmes not only didn't die today, but they're expecting twins!

This one worked on a whole bar last week:

Me: Ya know who died yesterday?
Them: Who?
Me: Lorena Bobbit. Car Wreck.
Them: Really? What happened?
Me: Some dick cut her off!

Oh the irony!

I'm one of those Boston douchebags, but try to limit my douchiness. Last year I was at a store and someone came in gasping, and said "Manny just got traded!"

Everyone bought it. That man deserves a medal. Priceless.

smurphette said...

He has been one of the few bright spots for Domers this year, and he's the reason I'm cheering for the Packers now that the Colts are done. That, and I totally hate both AFC finalists.

Seriously though, how the fuck do you pleasure a woman with a red snapper?xzjlqcx

Sam said...

I'm making my friends furious with the Montana story right now... As we speak, google is being overwhelmed with searches for "joe montana dead".

Thanks. That's fucking awesome.

Steve said...

wow. you have inspired me.

This exchange just occurred via email to my gullible friend who is an Eagles fan (redundant, I know).

UZH: "McNabb AND Trent Cole traded to Chicago for two 1st round picks for 2008/2009 Rex Grossman and Bernard Berrian."


Gullible friend: "GET OUT OF TOWN.....ARE YOU SERIOUS....WE TRADED McNABB AND TRENT COLE?????"

UZH: "yeah, it’s crazy. I can't send you the link since you won’t be able to open it at work, but its up on espn.com. McNabb demanded to be traded immediately."

Gullible Friend: "NO FUCKING WAY! I THINK I"M GONNA HAVE TO SNEAK OUTTA WORK FOR THE AFTERNOON!"

I now wait by the phone wait for the "you are such a fucking asshole" call. Frankly I think he deserves it for being an Eagles fan and always typing in caps. Dick.

Sam, your friends haven't cracked Google Trends yet. Gotta get more people with this.

Steve said...

aaaand:

Gullible Friend: "YOU ARE BREAKING MY BALL$"

UZH: "You're just such an easy mark..."

Gullible Friend: "YOU SUCK...I WENT AND TOLD A BUNCH OF PEOPLE HERE AT WORK...NOW I LOOK LIKE A JACKA$$"

@smurphette

It's better to to cheer for the fellated rather than the fellators.

naptown drew said...

By the way, is it so wrong that I once planned a Warlords tournament for one of my own elementary school birthday parties because I knew I would destroy everybody in it?

From the other side of town said...

Who doesn't like getting their head slapped by pussy?

Thomas said...

Anyone who falls for the Bears trading for Trent Cole deserves practical jokes played on them.

My Insignificant Life said...

it's always funny until someone loses and eye, or dies, or gets traded to the Eagles.

This just in. Georgia Frontiere found dead. Ghost of Carroll Rosenbloom sought by police as "person of interest."
