    It's always great to know these decision makers do less than the bare minimum of work while probably making pretty good money.

    This is fucking hilarious. I watched some of the game and thought the Ohio team was trash, but it’s also hard to tell going up against an all star team.

    they were down 30 in the second quarter and their coach declined the running clock

    Wait this school is called Bishop Sycamore, but it’s neither Catholic, nor did a bishop sycamore ever exist?

    Many moons ago i used to frequent a turkish eatery on bleeker st in the city late night [tons of hilarious stories] anyways a homeless dude, who became a worker there, who was also a bouncer at the irish bar next door used to try to recruit me to play football with him and his friends. friends who he claimed were "building a team to challenge..... an NFL team." The dude would spend a few minutes once a week to sell me on playing lb or db with a band of fellow homeless? bouncers, criminals, etc to play vs a fucking NFL team. My friend used to hype him up all the time. I swear to god i hope nothing happened to that dude in the years since. He seemed nice but if you ever run into a big 6-3ish black dude with aluminum foil wrapped around one of his front teeth than say hi for me.
