Well I guess that's over.


I dunno Jarryd. You make a big song and dance about achieving your 'NFL Dream'. And you know what? We gave props to you for that.

Except now, a mere year later, you're cashing out and going to follow another 'dream'. Pretty flakey.

@Shadowlink

Whaaaat. Really??

@Mr_Mustache

Yeah. I had to double check the calendar. Thought it was an April Fools headline.

@Shadowlink

Some of the things on that article figured that he had seen writing on the wall, and that played a part? Kind of a bummer.. I don't know why he had to RETIRE from the NFL in order to do this different stuff. Freakin' Deion Sanders and Bo Jackson each played baseball AND football at the same time.

@Mr_Mustache

I guess we don't know the full story. But to me, it seemed like it was a small bump in the road. I mean hey, thousands of US kids fight for these pro spots every year, right? He comes along makes the squad his first go around. Sure he's on the bench for a lot of it. But it's still closer than a lot of people get and a place to prove himself from over time.

But here we are year two. 'This bench sucks...oooh Olympics, shiny! Bye!"

He's not even playing for the Australian team. He's dad's Fijian, sure. But:

- Born in Australia
- Lived most of his life in Australia
- Played Rugby League in Australia (not Rugby Union)
- Is moving back to Australia when all this stuff is done and dusted.

= Playing Rugby Union Sevens for Fiji? What the fuck?

Flakey as hell.

@Shadowlink

I don't even know what "Rugby Union Sevens" means. Seriouslah.

I think he had a pretty decent future in the NFL, even as a Special Teams Specialist. Hell, Steve Tasker made a career out of it. Had a spot on the Bills every year since he got there. OH wellllllll.

@Mr_Mustache

Seven-a-side variant of Rugby Union. DON'T ask me what differentiates League from Union. I have no idea. I just know they're different.

At the Tigers vs Rays game right now here in Comerica Park. It's a good one but damn, the Rays just scored two. Now it's 5-3 Tigers. Top of the 8th. Just gotta hold them off a little longer.
05/22/16, 01:40   
They won 5-4. Almost lost it. Nice job Tigers! Then the lady and I hit up a pretty great brewery for the first time. Nice night.

@DrFinkelstein

That sounds fun! I'm going to Cooperstown on Saturday. --*gasp!*, I should tell Greg!

I like how the NBA Conference Finals have gone from being rather uninteresting to pretty damned interesting.

Also the Braves still suck.
05/24/16, 17:55   
Ali and Howe dead in the same week. Geez.
06/10/16, 18:43   
The Pens came *pretty* close to getting the Stanley Cup last night. But the Sharks hung on for at least one more game. It's getting intense!

@TheOldManFromZelda

RIP, Mr. Hockey.
06/10/16, 19:28   
Whelp. The Pens win the Cup.

Woo to the hoo.
06/13/16, 05:50   
Yeah, this thread stinks! So much to update!

@Mr_Mustache
I'm tempted to make a joke about preferring unconsciousness to a Rascal Flatts concert, but holy crap.

Odd useless info with the Cavs winning the title that I thought was interesting. Now the MLB(both teams tied for the record at 116, 1906 Cubs and 2001 Mariners), NFL(2007 Pats) and NBA(2015-16 Warriors) record holders for most wins in the regular season all failed to win the championship that season.

@Mr_Mustache
Ewww, man, thats just not right.

I forgot to update this thread when I went up to Boston earlier in the year for PAX East. I got there a day early and went to Fenway to see the Sox play the Rays. That stadium is fantastic! Me and my buddy were seated right beside this old timer who gave us all sorts of tid bits about the stadium and team through the ages. The final score was something like 12-8. There were numerous homeruns and great fielding plays. I'm really happy I was able to make it there. I'll be going back if I venture up there again.

@DeputyVanHalen

Yeah, last time Cleveland had any championship was the 1964 Browns, and for those not completely versed in the NFL, that predates the "NFL" as we know it, predating Super Bowl I by a few years. That..was a long time ago. The Bills were the 1965 and 1966 AFL Champions, so thats how long THAT crap is for Buffalo. Sabres never won, right?


And yeah, brutal beating. I'm sure there'll be more developments through the week; NASCAR was off this past weekend. They released the names of the guys who beat him (and if you didn't care to read, the guys were arrested, and out after $1000 bail before he even left the hospital), and as a commenter on that article pointed out "they rarely release the names; I'm sure there'll be swift and brutal street justice," more or less.

@Abdooooo

Seats are small though, yes? Baseball games are fun!
