This is officially my inaugural post, as the comic I posted below was not really my creation (not that I am against claiming other people’s work as my own – see any college paper I have ‘written’). At any rate, I will continue the true spirit of the blog by replying to a one Edward’s post:
The Origin:
“From Brothers with Love” is threefold actually. Let Ed’s incorrectness begin:
Fold a.) Yes we are brothers. No, not in the colloquial sense (e.g. what’s good in your hood, my brotha?), but in the inextricably “oh my god I can’t believe I have to remember this person’s God damn birthday every year” biological sense.
Fold b.) We are products of the Greater Philadelphia area, in which the city is known as the “City of Brotherly Love”. The crux of the phrase works nicely. However, I felt that the “Blog of Brotherly Love” was cliché and possibly implying more than just a biological relationship.
Fold c.) For those who admire James Bond like I do, the blog title is not lost on you. And there’s your third fold.
The Point:
This site is a complete front. Thank you for clicking on our revenue generating advertisements!
On a more serious note, this site will incite discussion and critical thinking regarding men who are paid obscene amounts of money to play games. The more you comment, the more we can correct you!
The Example:
As Ed stated below, a Florida Gator LB (Brandon Spikes) eye gouged a Georgia Bull Dog RB (Washaun Ealey). This was blatant and terrible, but Washaun completely deserved it. Now hear me out: his name is Washaun. Ok, that’s all I got. Brandon Spikes is a pretty terrible person and should be suspended for more than a half. A half is a complete joke.
However, I will argue your point, Ed: football players do indeed do that. In fact, they beat their wives and construct elaborate dog fighting schemes. The bottom of a football pile is an awful place for any moral policing. Poking the other team in the eye has been prevalent for years. Our beloved Jon Runyan eye gouged defensive linemen professionally, and I loved him for it. He got under the other team’s skin, and caused untold frustration.
Bottom Line: Brandon Spikes is not the first and not the last to eye gouge the enemy on the battlefield. But he did get caught doing it – and he deserves to be punished more than a half against Vanderbilt.
The Comic:
We can’t draw, but god dammit our mommy never told us that.
The Responsibility:
Read. Think. Post: Calvin Klein.

He does not deserve to be punished after the fact for something that everybody does(and laughs about on sports talk radio). And if he did deserve punishment, the ref should have flagged him while the game was in progress. I mean there are seven of the morons on the field, isn't one of them looking in the pile? He should have been ejected for a deliberate intent to injure, Florida should have received a Personal Foul and the SEC should have suspended him for a game. The referees blew this and the league blew. I don't blame Meyer, his job is to win. And does he ever do that.
ReplyDeleteDon't say I didn't tell you can't draw because I did. You can't carry a tune in a bucket either. But you are a much better card player than the "Rummy 500" guy.
