Dumping Them Out: The World's Greatest Bit

Welcome back to yet another episode of Dumping Them Out. And I’ve wrote a lot of stupid blogs. I thought it would be fun to write. Strangely enough, I thought it might even be funny to read. Which I think was, for about 12 teams. For a writer I have a very poor vocabulary. Also, as it turns out, most names aren’t that interesting. Turns out a lot of them are super regular....

Meek Phill Stole Smitty's Soul On Picks Central

Meek warned Smitty before the series that he “would be up his ass all series.” Totally normal thing to say about a co-worker. Smitty has been pretty rational about the 76ers. It’s not like he was talking all this shit before the series started to Knicks fans. Meek also can’t control the troll that lives inside of him. Even after Smitty threw poor Aaron Nola across the room, Meek couldn’t lay off....

Eliot Wolf Planted His Flag in the Patriots War Room, Drafting for Needs, Superhuman Athletes and Cocky WRs

I appreciate that my colleagueSteven Cheah gave the Patriots an A gradeon this draft. And his opinion seems to be at least in the general vicinity of the consensus. NFL.com gave them a B. Pro Football Focus gave them a B+. CBS Sports an A, and so on. So good on them. It’s more like inexact Divination. For me, this particular draft was not about evaluating the selections. It was about the selector....

Grading Every NFL Team's Draft Based on Names Alone (All 257 Draft Picks Included)

This might end up being one of the more ambitious blogs I’ve ever written. Not creative wise, but length wise. Judging 257 total names in a single blog has the potential to be thousands of words. Not that I’m going to hit on every one. I pre-apologize for what you’re about to read. Maybe just skip ahead to your team if you don’t have an hour to kill. Having a good name in the NFL greatly improves your chances of success....

Tell him Chris Ballard! Whether the “sources” are right or not, the man certainly right about one thing. Theanonymoussource thing is dog shit.

We drank heavily and smoked tons of weed we bought from the hottie at the Fotomat. We hung around, smoked weed, and drank blackberry brandy. Neither one of us had saddlebags, and we didn’t want ‘em....
