In Junior High, I was kind of a fat kid. I ate a lot. And I'm pretty sure that had something to do with all the, you know, chubbiness. All my friends, and even some family members, made fun of me for being fat. Girls blew me off and football coaches salivated over my future as an overweight blocking-wall even though my mom wouldn't let me play. It was tough being fat without the "I
<p>Before we kick off the game picking this week, please note that I owe everyone an apology, even my partners in game-picking. I had only missed one previous week of game-picking in my time here at PIC and that was because I was at a beach house with no internet access. Last week I missed the picks (even though I had written them) because of...
I read the New York Times today so you wouldn't have to. Their words are in bold. My uneducated opinions are not.
<p>The American people were against it. Every congressman on the floor got at least twenty calls against the bailout for every one call in favor the bailout (or rescue plan or whatever). And that was even after big business representatives used their lobbyists and buying power to get their personal representatives (who claim to be our representatives) on the phone. </p>
<p>Dear My Congressman:</p><p>Hello, Mr. (or maybe Mrs.) Congressman. My name is Nathan. And I live in your district. I'm sorry I don't know you by name but the thing is, just looking at you people gives me the willies something fierce so I never bothered to look you up. Y'all are like personal injury lawyers but with less scruples and no souls. Except for Ron Paul.</p>
<p>A wise man once said, "Baseball is a lot like life: it's slow, complex, boring at times... and if you're not paying attention, you'll probably get hit in the head." </p>
Due to my hectic schedule, Nikki the Bartender, Scotty the Handicapper and I had to do our NFL picks via email. When I sent Nikki the lines, she responded: <p>"Hey Nate - Remind me please, does the plus mean they have to win by that number and the minus that they lose by that number?
In the mid 1980s, a cocaine dealer named Russell walked in on his girlfriend and business partner mid-coitus. His business partner and main distributor, a man named William, was found floating in the Mississippi river some eight weeks later. Three years later, Russell was killed by DEA agents in his 16,000 square-foot home. The DEA estimated Russell's worth at the time of his death at just a
Keanu Reeves has a tendency to overact but the American people still love him anyway. We love him as much for his cheesy displays of unintentional comedy as we do for... well, anything else he may have done for the good of cinema. This is not our fault. There's no accounting for taste and all that.
Yesterday, I hit my good friend Scotty the Handicapper in the back of the head (I've been watching too much NCIS). Why did I do this, you never asked? <p>Because he cockblocked me without even meaning to. </p>
<p><em>I have few rules in life but one of them is as follows: whenever a <a href="/blogs/casey-freeman/one-month-later">fellow PIC writer who recently broke his neck</a> makes a request, I honor it. So...</em></p>
If you're attending this week's Tampa Bay Buccaneers game and you don't enjoy the people sitting near you, you can have them forcibly removed without getting out of your seat. Simply by texting a complaint to (813) 277-6501, you can remove that loud mouth, beer-spilling drunk from the stadium. And I, for one, will not stand for such unmitigated horse flop. <p>Speaking for loud mouth, beer-sp
