That sucks. Sorry to hear that man.

Condolences... I'm lucky with the fact that I do not have a wife.

Thanks for the well wishes. We have an agreement that Sundays are mine during football season, but hers during the off-season.

Well, she's not wasting any time. She wants to go to IKEA this weekend. FML.

Be careful Chewy, or it'll get out of control to where she'll have you sniffing rose petals with her

Hmmm. I remember these birds that used to hang out in my neighborhood back when I lived in Waldorf. They'd always come around on trash days. They were obviously scavenger birds, but I'd never seen birds like these before. Big, fat ass birds that were so big they could barely even fly.

I was peaking out of the window one morning, and noticed one (must've been twice the size of a standard turkey, almost as big as the damn trash bag) ripping open a trash bag and going to work. Then three more came, and at that point, I just decided to stay in the house like a *****, because I already knew just by looking at them that they're the type that won't even respond to you even when you're standing right in front of them, so unless you have a gun to shoot, you won't scare them off... and, because they looked like the type that would bite me and cause me to come down with some crazy 28 Days Later type **** if I got close enough.

Then the way they interacted with each other was weird as hell too. They sort of raised their wings and started highstepping towards each other (no joke). Probably plotting to kill somebody.

They were black/grey-ish.

Possibly turkey vultures maybe?

Same thing I was thinking.

I see them here and there. No fear, but they don't attack as far as I know they only go after carrion.

Frank the Tank: Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time.

John Clayton just said that Flacco is probably looking at 5 years, $100M. That's a ton of money, but coming off a superbowl win, they've gotta cough it up. "**** you, pay me!"

And Merril Hodge just said that he ranks Joe Flacco as the best QB in the nfl, ahead of Rodgers, Brady, Ryan and Peyton

Maybe. I'm not real good with identifying certain vulture species, and scavenger birds in general. After looking at the google pics however, that might be what it was. Compared to the rest of it's body, it definitely had a peabrain head (very hard to see), but I don't recall it's head being that color when I did see it.

I'm watching the coverage of the Ravens victory parade on NFLN, place is crazy. People are breaking through the barriers and coming right up to the cars the players are in. Ed Reed got out of his car and was carrying the trophy around letting people touch it, I think at one point someone in the crowd tried to steal it from him lol.

Why are they riding in military-grade vehicles

Flacco was like sticking out of a tank

Per ESPN: U.S. ski team medical director Kyle Wilkens said that Vonn tore the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in her knee and also suffered a lateral tibia plateau fracture -- which involves the upper surface of the shin bone.

Well, at least she'll have more time to spend with Tiger Woods

my weekly ESPN rant for the week:

Cowturd just said that out of the 3 rookie QBs, Luck did more with less than RG3 and Wilson. I'll give it to Luck that he had a terrible offensive line, but he still had pro-bowl wide receiver Reggie Wayne, and emerging rookie T.Y. Hilton. He said Wilson was #2, and Colin downplayed Russel's weapons in Sydney Rice, Golden Tate and Zach Miller. Didn't mention that Seattle's defense gave Wilson good field positon a lot and that Wilson probably came into thte most complete team upon arriving.

When talking about how RG3 had it "easier" than Luck and Wilson, Colin said that "RG3 has a top 5 offensive line in the NFL and a veteran coach." So I guess the fact that RG3 was without his #1 receiver for half the season and his starting tight end missed the entire season, and Griffin was throwing to guys named Leonard Hankerson and Josh Morgan.

No point listening to Cowherd

Listen to Rome or Kornheiser

I'm watching PTI right now and I'm really getting sick of Wilbon.

This guy really seems to have a beef with D.C., too.
