Haters roll deep, yo, Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers


"Esquire" named Scarlett Johansson the sexiest woman alive; that title comes with a lot of pressure: 

"Hey, sexiest woman alive, you have enough spinach on your teeth to feed Popeye"



Since you asked:
Here is what I know about that New York upper west side motocycle road rage kerfuffle. Take the a-holeness of skateboarders, who love to terrify bystanders by coming as close as possible, and multiply that times 50. That is how much of an a-hole crotch-rocket riders are. 

Having said that, there is no doubt in my mind the driver of a black  Range Rover commited some kind of douche-bag move. Entitled and snotty black Range Rover drivers commit douche moves like pet raccoons poop. 

This was simply a case of a-hole on  many- a-holes crime. Even a huge a-hole does not deserve to be chased down and beaten in front of his family.

To those offended by the name Washington Redskins

This is what offends you? Our government is shutdown because of a few selfish psychos, twenty very young children were shot while in school and terrorists in Somalia use children for shields, and this is what you've decided to be offended by?

Even though polls reveal most Native Americans, 1% of the population, are fine with the name Redskins, let's say you really are offended.

The team was founded and named in 1932. The term Redskins would be used in literature and movies for another 50 years. It was not intended to be offensive. Nobody wants to name their team something other than an entity they consider tough and cool. (Except maybe for the UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs, but they were probably well-stoned at the time) 

Billy Mills used to be one of our greatest Olympic athletes. His upset win in the 10.000 meters in Tokyo in 1964 is the stuff of legends. A member of the Souix, he now lives the life of the modern shake-down artists, like Al Sharpton and Gloria Allred, and makes a good living extorting and bribing and threatening litigation to any American entity or corporation - as long as it has deep pockets  - that has any reference to Native Americans. 

For example, Billy will confront the CEO of Indian Motorcycles and whines:

"We, Native Americans, whom I represent - no he doesn't - find the name of your product offensive to the point of mental anguish and we want you to change your product's name."

Of course they can't change their product's name, so a donation is given to Billy Mill's foundation, and he takes a huge cut.

A shake-down.

While returning on a flight with a suitcase full of go-away money, Billy Mills was called Chief by the male flight attendent. In no uncertain terms, Billy told the flight attendent he was Native American and found the term Chief offensive. The flight attendent shrugged his shoulders and said;

"I don't find it offensive, Chief." 


So take off your poopy diaper and get used to the fact the Washington football team is going to be named Redskins. 

Here is a different perspective on Frank Gifford:

Due to his Joanne Carson-banging attention these days, here is a fact on Gifford I find telling. Frank graduated from Bakersfield High around 1948 as a star football player. And yet his grades were so low, he could not get into USC. He played a year of football at Bakersfield Junior College, got his grades up and then transferred to be a Trojan, as it turns out in more ways than one. (Yes, that was a condom poke) 

A college buddy's dad played football at USC in the 50's. He also grew up in California and was a star football player. He said he didn't even remember needing to apply to USC. The coach just told him he was on the team and was going to school there. He also says he doesn't remember going to class all that much. 

In addition, I seem to recall him believing that some of his teammates neither attended nor graduated from high school as some had to work full-time on farms. 

For Gifford, a California native and a football star, not to have good enough grades to get in USC in 1948? He would have had to have been borderline mentally challenged.
