The Porcine Oddyssey #94: An Interview with a Sweet Screw
A STUDIO AUDIENCE SITS EXCITED FOR A START OF A TELEVISION SHOW
Announcer: Welcome to another episode of Late Night Pulled Pork with your host Pigsgerald Bacon
PIGGY COMES OUT OF THE CURTAIN AND BOWS. THEN HE SITS AT A DESK
The Flying Pig: Welcome to another installment of Late Night Pulled Pork with your favorite Bacon.
Tonight We have a very special guest with us.
Every Dolfan has heard about DeVante Parker’s offseason surgery right?
Well tonight we have…
No…um…not DeVante Parker. But we have the next best thing. We have the screw inserted in his foot! Everybody put your hands together for the Sweet Screw!
THE SWEET SCREW COMES OUT FROM BEHIND THE CURTAIN AS THE AUDIENCE APPLAUDS LOUDLY
The Sweet Screw: Hello Everyone! Oh you are two kind.
I love all of you.
You are the Greatest Ever!!!
I want to hug you all!
THE SWEET SCREW SITS IN A CHAIR NEXT TO PIGGY’S DESK
The Sweet Screw: Oh Piggy, I’m so happy to be here with all these beautiful people in the audience. Being around such great people is like Christmas for me
The Flying Pig: Okay…
The Sweet Screw: Being around such amazing people and pigs for just a moment is almost as good as volunteering at the Children’s Hospital…
The Flying Pig: Um…let’s get to the….
The Sweet Screw: I took time off from my visit at the nursing home to be here. And even though I’m miss all the smiling dentures, I’m just filled with love being here. Can you feel the love Piggy? I just want to HUG!
THE AUDIENCE APPLAUDS LOUDER
The Flying Pig: Okay Okay…you are very sweet…we get it now…
The Sweet Screw: because I’m filled with LOVE!
The Flying Pig: Whatever (flipping through some index cards)…So in early June, Parker was pulled from offseason practices to have corrective surgery and you were inserted in his foot correct?
The Sweet Screw: That is right Piggy. I’ve been spending a lot of time with the Dolphins 1st round pick. But I can assure you, he will be ready to go in week 1 because I’m not mean.
The Flying Pig: Assuming I believe you…what makes you so sure he will be ready to go in Week 1.
The Sweet Screw: Because I’m filled with love Piggy…
PIGGY GAGS
The Sweet Screw: And because I am simply a precautionary measure.
The Flying Pig: So you Say! (accusatory) Here is a diagram. Can you tell me exactly where you were inserted in Parker’s foot?
The Sweet Screw: Um…I’m not sure that diagram is anatomically correct Piggy. Besides, its irrelevant. The decision to insert me in Parker’s foot was a long-term decision by the Dolphins. They are looking out for Parker’s health years from now. It was a collaborative decision from Parker’s camp and the Dolphins – which if you ask me is a classy move by the Dolphins.
The Flying Pig: How do we know you aren’t going to sabotage his rookie year?
The Sweet Screw: Piggy…Is it possible you might just be a little nervous about the upcoming season. You have nothing to worry about. Parker actually hurt his foot in his senior season at Louisville. Parker was looking great in the OTAs well after that injury.
The Flying Pig: Don’t you lie to me you little punk! The Sweet Screw: Lie…Piggy, Im being honest. I wouldn’t lie to you. I love you. I love everyone. The Flying Pig: NO!!! Do not come here and lie to me. I know your game. You are going to linger, and linger and we will never see Parker play in 2015. I hate you screw. I HATE YOU!!! The Sweet Screw: But Piggy….(wiping away a tear from his eye) The Flying Pig: Get the fuck off my show you son of a bitch!
THE SWEET SCREW RUNS OFF THE SHOW CRYING
THE CROWD BOOS PIGGY
PIGGY DRINKS “WATER” FROM THE MUG ON HIS DESK
FOR WEEKS AFTER THE SHOW PIGGY RECEIVED HATE MAIL FROM PEOPLE WATCHING HIS MISTREATMENT OF THE SWEET SCREW. HERE IS A SAMPLING OF THE ANGRY EMAILS:
PIGGY WAS LOST. HE DIDN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
WAS HE NERVOUS ABOUT PARKER’S STATUS? WAS PARKER GOING TO BE A BUST BECAUSE OF THE SWEET SCREW? OR WAS PIGGY JUST BEING NERVOUS BECAUSE HE’S BEEN SCREWED BEFORE.
SO PIGGY WENT TO HIS CLOSET TO CONSULT THE BUST GODS
The Flying Pig: (kneeling) Oh great wasted $120 I can never have back. Guide me. Speak to me. Tell me. Did I mistreat the Sweet Screw? Is he helping Parker? Or will Parker be a bust? Speak to me fruitless one. Show me the way.
PIGGY KNEELED IN FRONT OF HIS CLOSET FOR A MONTH WAITING FOR AN ANSWER
AFTER A LONG SILENCE, THE JERSEY SPOKE TO PIGGY
The Jersey: Piggy…. The Flying Pig: Yes! Speak to me! Guide me! The Jersey: I’m suspended until 2016, so it will have to wait… The Flying Pig: Oh, fuck you (shutting the closet door)
IN TIME, THE GUILT GOT TO PIGGY AND HE APOLOGIZED TO THE SWEET SCREW
IN RETURN, THE SWEET SCREW GAVE PIGGY A GIFT AWWWWW, HE IS SO SWEET…
PIGGY WAS WHOLE AGAIN
Finsmob Unleashed 
Too funny Piggy. You have an error in your typing…
So in early June, Parker was pulled from offseason surgery to have corrective surgery and you were inserted in his foot correct
Oh and first
Piggy,
SIT THE F*** DOWN AND STOP MAKING THAT NOISE!
Sweet little screw will be OK
Rockphin
LMAO Piggy! I especially loved the “hate emails” and the “bust gods”.
I almost choked on my coffee when I saw the pic of the ‘bust gods’. Hilarious!
LOL@ Piggs, great job.
Late Night Pork is my new favorite show.
RIP to Sherman Hemsley
Goodnight Mr. Jefferson
Great show
Did you forget to mention it in 2012?
ooops, why the hell is someone posting his obit on FB. But yes, yes I did forget to mention it in ’12.
I was thinking “I thought he had already died?”
Very funny Piggy! Great job
RIP Dion Jordan jersey. May you rest in peace in my friggin closet!
Bri
You still around?
Brian isn’t here anymore Mrs. Torrance.
I’m getting a deja vu all over again. lol
LOL @ Piggy
The whole sweet screw filled with love making Piggy nauseous.
Bri – If you’re still lurking about, the Rockies traded Troy Tulowitski for Jose Reyes. Supposedly, the Rockies have a young SS they want to bring up, which means it’s possible Reyes may be available for another trade. Reyes would be a great fit, we need a leadoff hitter desperately, and Reyes is a better defensive SS than anyone we have now. Interesting possibility in the least.
I thought the same thing. Reyes is perfect for us. Yeah the Mets, Reyes and the Mets. Hmmmm… what a novel idea.
He really would be a good fit if he could stay healthy. Either that, or we need an outfielder.
Woof!
Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!! That’s such a disturbing scene
is it a bear pr a dog or some other kind of animal?
I think the under bite looks like a bull dog and I think based on the novel it’s a dog, as in good little doggy serving his master.

Mike,
I think the Rockies may be looking to move him as well, probably for ptiching. The fans would love to have Jose back! We have some shortstops (Rosario, Cecchini) in the system that still need time, so maybe he’d be a good option for us for the next few years. His .285 average would be leading the team by about .50 points!
Mike E, to me we need a bat and whatever position he plays so be it.
We do, but we’d have to make some moves in the OF if that were the case. Granderson and Cuddyear are making too much to sit on the bench. Maybe Cuddyear’s injury is worse than they are letting on, and someone they acquire takes his spot. They would have to move Granderson to CF and bring Legares in late when they are ahead for D if all are healthy
So be it. Are they going to allow Cuddyer to keep failing in the clutch because of money, I hope not. Maybe Conforto is his replacement so just keep playing the best players. Legares hasn’t hit either and doesn’t deserve to be a lock in the lineup even though they gave him a nice extension too.
Boy Daisy Duke is REALLY looking like a backwoods redneck girl now…..
She always had a great fanny pack

LOL
http://dailydolphin.blog.palmbeachpost.com/2015/07/28/quarterback-josh-freeman-re-signs-with-dolphins/
Why did we even cut him?
It’s weird, what’s up with this dude? His father didn’t go into to details why his son was released the first time?
Granderson should be batting 4th, 5th or 6th. He would provide more RBI’s and run production from one of those spots. Reyes would lead off and finally, we’d have a legit leadoff hitter. Besides that, Reyes plays better defense than either Tejada or Flores.
Agreed. Tejada is a good infielder overall, but Reyes is elite.
BTW – I also really like the Clippard move. He’s tough on lefties, which is something we lack right now
Agreed. We needed another arm in there.
Did we really re-sign Freeman?
aparrently
Looks that way
Abramson is reporting it
For whatever reason, the PBP is blocked at work. 😦
Off to continue summer projects. Have a good day lady and fellas !
Later Bri
Douche! He better get all 4 games. That’s bullshit
Won’t help him….If he goes to court they can pull the records. It doesn’t have to be ON the phone…Idiot.
LOL, he’s so fucking guilty. He’s a brat.
I am sooooooooo excited. Actual football news starts in 2 days!! I can read less crap about some sucky baseball team from the NY area………..HA NJBB
It would be awesome if Brady fights the suspension and ends up getting more games. LOL
That would be fantastic. It will NEVER happen but it would be fantastic.
Expected decision on Deflategate appeal in the next couple of days. IF the suspension is upheld, this was played brilliantly by the NFL. Hold off right until training camp starts. If Brady takes it to court it’ll be a distraction throughout the season, he’ll possibly still lose his 4 games and then he’ll have to serve the suspension later in the year when it hurts the team more.
Wells has said he’s got enough on Brady that he would convict him in court, and Wells isn’t some run of the mill attorney.
I think the fact his phone records could be subpoenaed keeps this out of court.
Good morning!
This is the week where I begin to say my prayers each day on remaining healthy during training camp for the players.
Can any of you New Yorkers recommend a decent hotel reasonably priced near Times Square?
My wife and I are looking at booking a weekend trip to NYC.
The Waldorf Astoria
Should have added an lol. lol
Reasonably priced near Times Square? LMAO!!!!
Let’s just say there’s a reason it’s priced. LOL
Bookman, you’re better off staying in NJ and then taking the train into the city.
We like to be in walking distance.
As illy as that sounds, it might be true. I don’t think any decent hotel in the heart of NYC will be reasonable.
That’s what I’m saying. Get a hotel by the train and you’ll be in the city in 12 minutes.
Sorry Rock. I’m as big a Mets fan as I am a Dolphins fan. I so want for them to be relevant come September, as I wish the same for the Dolphins come January.
I realize that reasonably priced is relative, just thought maybe there was some hotels that were maybe smaller, better priced and decent value. $300.00 night is what we have been seeing and that is fine with us.
There you go then. Just to let you know what prices are in NYC these days, my daughter recently informed me that shots at clubs etc. are $15. LOL
The Marriott Marquis would be right about that, located exactly where you want
You could have drinks at the View which is a revolving restaurant bar on the roof, which gives you a great view of NYC.
To add, I would probably try Priceline or one of those sites like that, you may be able to get a good deal
Mike E and Bookman, I was just in Jersey City on Sunday driving my friend to the train, he lives in Brooklyn. The view of the city and the Freedom Tower from there is amazing. That’s something you might want to see too and you won’t get that view from the city side.
Yeah, it’s always been that way. NYC is not a cheap place to be.
LOL – That was a reply to the $15 shots above
Carlos Gonzalez is on the trade block. He’d give our lineup a big boost, but he’s no leadoff hitter.
Bookman
Try Hotel Pennsylvania near Madison Square garden
Honestly there are no “reasonably priced hotels” in NYC
Were there 10 other Bookmans before you? 🙂
And the Holdiay Inn in Chelsea is new
Probably cleaner than Pennsylvania Hotel
https://www.google.com/search?site=&source=hp&ei=2Jy3VeeKIcq5-QGclLyIAQ&q=holiday+inn+manhattan&oq=holiday+in+man&gs_l=mobile-gws-hp.1.1.0j0i10l2j0l2.3038.6966.0.8183.15.15.0.3.3.1.746.5650.2-7j3j2j2j1.15.0..2..0…1.1.64.mobile-gws-hp..5.10.2486.3.NX-h6KNjybw#istate=lrl:iv&rlimm=13445024411750858786
I think it’s reasonably proved compared to the other trendy spots
It’s about 20 blocks south of Times Square
Which is walkable
But maybe cabs or subways are better
It’s a heap can ride, less than $10
Maybe even $5
Mike E, I don’t go to or party in NYC much but I remember $8-10 beers and drinks etc. I laughed when my daughter said a shot was $15.
Jersey has great views of the city
Queens too
There are hotels in Long Island city worth checking out too
It’s usually around 7-8$ beers near me on the UES
If some one charges 5-6$ I think it’s a deal
$10 + for beer is either delirium or a rooftop hotel
I never go to a rooftop hotel or one of those trendy clubby spots
They serve beers in glass cups! Yuk
I meant to say plastic cups…lol
I was wondering what a glass cup was. LOL
You should be able to find something under $300 bookman
But this time of year is probably pricier than others
I would check priceline and Travelocity and all that stuff
Tim
I haven’t partied in Manhattan in about 25 years. My wife still works in Manhattan, so she knows how crazy prices are. She runs into Piggy every now and again.
Like literally runs into him? 😉
Runs to him. I think they bumped into each other once, which is pretty crazy in that big city. lol
Mike E, No need to apologize for talking Met’s. LOL I was just bustin balls. (I dislike ALL baseball) Have at it.
I just can’t wait until we get a regular dose of DOLPHINS NEW AND COMMENTARY!!! WHOOO hooo!!
I hear ya. I do too, but I really don’t want to rush the summer away either. Summer is my favorite part of the year.
Bookman, wherever you wind up staying, don’t bring the luggage back into the house right away when you get back leave them suit cases in the garage and put the clothes right in the laundry. (unless you want to bring home bed bugs and never get rid of them)
I remodel hotels for a living and have done several (20+) in NYC and surrounding areas. THEY ALL had bedbugs….
Yeah I’ve heard about that.
I don’t care if it was a “luxury” hotel or a red roof inn, new or old. THEY WERE ALL infested.
So you want to got to LeSean’s party that he put out on instagram? Sorry you can’t unless you are Gigi or Herd.
There are a few rules, according to the email you got back when you asked to come
— females 21 and over only.
— No +1’s!
— Guests must provide a picture and their social media handles (presumably for more pictures).
— Guests must sign a confidentiality agreement.
Other than that you are good to go.
hmmmm, I don’t know…..seems kinda shady to me…..
LOL — I might do the same if I were him……but I sure wouldn’t put it out on the open net. How could he not know what would happen?
Stanger, you forgot one.
Girls must be willing to play with LeSean.
Mike, your wife Runs to him? LOL
But seriously, they literally bumped into each other?
I don’t think they collided (LOL), I think Dana saw him in a restaurant or something like that.
LMAO!!!!
My Kinda Mall!
WTF???? LOL! Ummmmm no, no thank you, no thank you very much…
Wyo buys some hiking boots and the salesmen says would you like a little jizz in those? He says sure, why not this is my kind of mall. LOL
Is that what Pepsi is putting in their soda now instead of sugar and sugar substitutes? lol
I feel bad for the girls who are sending their pics to Shady McCoy and get rejected
Do ya?
I’m will to console them with a Pepsi
Piggy
Where did you see my wife in NYC?
I forgot
She works in the building 2 blocks north of my building
It may have been there
Or outside of grand central
Or outside a restaurant deli there
I think it was a deli
It was right after your bday party
Wow, I didn’t realize it was that long ago. Yeah, I thought was a restaurant or something.
Pepsi’s new slogan: “Swallow it!”
I was thinking about a mall with a happy ending!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe I’m the only “pitcher”on the blog?
Not that there is anything wrong with that of course! 😉
Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz 23m23 minutes ago
Because of clause, the Dolphins’ financial risk was lessened by cutting, then re-signing Freeman to a new contract: http://miamiherald.typepad.com/sports-buzz/2015/07/examining-dolphins-predicament-at-cornerback-nuggets-on-those-on-mix-golden-addresses-more-issues-he.html#storylink=addthis …
That is a weird clause
But it makes sense
It’s basically a financial move
It’s probably Aponte’s fault
Bookman:
I like the W in NYC, it’s in Times Square area. I have no idea how much it is these days. I’ve stayed at the Waldorf, I didnt’ like it.
It’s really pricey
But it’s a really nice hotel
Why bother handing them out then?
Punishments have become like negotiating for knock-off designer purses from Nigerian-mobile-entrepeneurs. lol
Piggy, the “bust gods” was a classic… I have a feeling it will make it’s way into this blogs vault of inside jokes for quite some time.
On another note… what’s with the trend of story lines that require objects being inserted into players? Will Sweet Screw and Colonpokey ever co-star in an episode? 🙂
I’m baaaaaack!
Bout time you paid your internet bill! 😉
LOL, right.
MikeE… are you happy with the trade for Clippard? A’s fire sale under way. 😦 Zobrist is a bat the mets or royals could use because he plays so many positions well. His numbers are lower than previous years because of an early season injury that skews the averages. His health has returned and he’s been kicking butt.
Yes, we needed another guy that can set up, and we really needed a reliever who can get lefties out, and Clippard is good in that regard. I don’t think Zobrist is in play for the Mets anymore After acquiring Juan Uribe and Kelly Johnson, we need either an outfielder who is a slugger or a leadoff hitter with speed, or a shortstop who can hit and lead off, like Reyes.
shortstop to lead off… where would Uribe play? I did not know Kelly Johnson was part of that trade. He’s a ‘less expensive’ target for utility than Zobrist.
Clippard’s delivery will freak you out, but he’s got a killer change up. Tends to walk too many guys when he first comes in… elevates a close out situation into nail biting. Once he gets 15 pitches under his belt he really settles in and is hard to hit. BUT those first 15 pitches have as many alternate realities as a Star Trek episode.
He was supposed to be our 8th inning guy until Doolittle got injured. If Doolittle was healthy, our bullpen strength would not have collapsed. Our statistical projections indicate a 10 win swing which would put us in the hunt. With Clippard and Kazmir traded, our season is officially done. good luck, hope the trade works out.
Also I see Freeman’s back….obviously there was no fear another team would snatch him up upon being released…lol
LOL @ Piggy on Nigerian-mobile-entrepeneurs
So there he is, GD is back from Rio celebrating 3 weeks of gay pride. I knew it had to be something. LOL
Thanks for all of the tips on the NYC hotels….oh and the bed bug information. We have been to NYC a few times and have not had an issue with bed bugs.
We did go out to the bars one night, and beers were 7-8 dollars and a jaegerbomb was $15.00.
It was a great night out, however!
Then you already know what you’re dealing with. Enjoy!
Be careful of a flying pig. He likes to fart in your general direction. 😉
Anyone see Jahn or FFRob or lately
I know it’s the offseason
Just wondering
Rhino,
Funny you should mention it
the Porcine Oddyssey: the colonoscopy epsid
Tim,
Happy belated Bday…now Ben Dover!
Rhino,
Funny you should mention it
the Porcine Oddyssey: the colonoscopy episode starring Colonpokey and the sweet screw is soemthing I’m considering
But no pics on that one…
perhaps a “penetration” competition. lol
University is one of the most prestigious universities in the world. Alum from this institution of higher learning have become ambassadors, U.S. presidents, certain social media pioneers (You’re welcome, Mark Zuckerberg) and Wall Street titans that have toppled world-wide economies. Harvard is also known for predicting success in the NFL. Wait a minute! Can that be possibly true? Well, that’s what the fans of the Miami Dolphins are hoping for, at least.

Suuuure he will….he’s said the same thing before.
He’ll likely riin a young developing Bridgewater…although AP is the great equalizer.
likely ^ruin^

If I was him I wouldn’t worry about the leader part so much……but imagine how that frustration thing would have worked if he was playing for the Raiders last season.

Former No. 1 overall pick Jake Long is set to work out for the Atlanta Falcons this afternoon, per @mortreport.
sure wouldn’t mind big Jake as a backup… but he is still looking for starter money
I don’t know if at this point he can ask for much!
I still Love his attitude!!!!! 🙂
Back-up for sure……but guessing he hasn’t gotten his mind around to how much he is worth. His cool wife did love South FLA though.

WATCH: http://oak.ctx.ly/r/3f9b0
LOL @ GD
The NFL and Le’Veon Bell are negotiating a settlement that could reduce his three-game suspension to one or two games.
Bell’s suspension stems from an August 2014 incident in which he was pulled over with marijuana in his car, and got charged with both possession and a DUI. Bell’s camp is arguing that he’s being punished twice for the same offense.
___________________________________
The set up before the Marsha Brady ruling….SMH!
Already started with Hardy and the league and Vikes making nice with AP.
Piggy, Jahn peaks in here and there. FFR probably banned himself. LOL
….or FFR got caught in one of his own snares…now hoping for Ken to return someday. 😉
No way Long gets starter money these days with his injury risk profile. If Jake Long can find a way to play guard then bring him in for a try out that’s about it.
If he passes physical he’ll likely get a solid deal, but one that’s loaded with PT clauses/incentives.
After all the injuries……think his best option is right tackle for some team…..but that ain’t us, as a starter at least.
I wonder if putting grass in the revamped stadium is a part of the analytics dept.?
Rhino,
I don’t think the A’s lost much in the deals to tell you the truth.
Kazmir has been historically hurt his whole career and it’s a miracle he didn’t suffer one this year (though there was a scare a couple months ago).
They have other arms they can work with.
The whole division knows Clippard as he’s spent most of his career with the Nationals.
Those were his best years too. Then again he got to face the Mets lineups the last 5+ years. 😦
My favorite Tweet of the day!!!!!!! 🙂

Welcome to the old farts club…OD is getting your membership card ready….LOL
Thanks, man! Everyone keeps saying your AARP card is in the mail. LOL
Lions signed RJ Stanford….remember him?
He was in mix @ CB depth for us a couple times.
Yep, when the Fins were carrying like 10 DB it seemed lol.
like now….lol
You mean when we went through 15+. LOL
Isn’t that romantic
Hey wait a minute…
Holy Wasabi!
Maybe she’s into it.
…only cause he has a little pot sticker
Rhino
I’m very familiar with Clippard, he pitched for the Nationals for quite a few years, at least 5.
7 years. I remember him after seeing his pic with the glasses.
OK, there you go. He was a tough matchup for us, that much I remember.
Al, saw you mention LB’s earlier, also Manitoba a few blogs back.
I think Vigil is the guy that will breakout over the other UDFA LB’s. He’s quick to the ball, has good instincts, may need a year to beef up into a more NFL ready strength & conditioning…but with guys like Suh, Mitchell, Mosley, & Phillips in front of you, a guy like him can make big plays.
Hull was a big name in Penn St., but he’s on smallish side height wise, seems slower in read react, can thump the ball carrier, but not gonna be a good coverage LB…IMO.
With our DL, especially DT’s, I feel guys like Tripp, Vigil, & Jenkins, even Hewitt can be effective, not only in the run support, but in the quick short passing game that teams will resort to more often vs our DL.
They will be like having a couple extra SS’s in the box.
Just remember our LB coach Mark Duffner pounded the table for us to sign Hull. He wanted us to draft him.
Welcome back GDP! Enjoying summer?
Thanks Mike…yeah, been running here n there during this hot azz summer, but it’s been fun, thanks.
Ready for some football now! 🙂

Reply
True, I’m not knocking Hull…he could surprise. Penn St. puts out quality LB’s usually. Plus Duffner did well with another Penn St. LB in Jax with Posluszny, but Pos is bigger, more talented…IMO.
Duffner said Hull is simply a football player. I’m not sure of his upside at the next level but he could be a real good STs ace.
ST ace is what I was thinking….he’ll be able to duck under blocks & he won’t let a guy with the ball run through him.
Dolphins coach Joe Philbin says the team is open to giving Lamar Miller more carries in 2015.
Miller notoriously failed to hit 20 carries in any game last year, despite averaging an explosive 5.09 yards per tote in one of the NFL’s most efficient rushing offenses. Miller did handle 19 carries in each of Miami’s final two games, however, and Philbin left the door open for Miller to be treated more like a workhorse this year. “I would tell you I’ve never been in a meeting where I’ve said to [OC] Bill [Lazor] or [RBs coach] Jeff Nixon or the offensive line coaches (that) ‘Lamar can’t carry the ball 20 times a game. He can’t do it,’” Philbin insisted. “I’ve never heard that. That’s never come out of my mouth. … I would tell you, if he’s cranking and he got it 24 times a game and he’s healthy and he’s fast and he’s explosive, it doesn’t bother me one bit.”
_________________________________________
Will be interesting to see how this plays out with Lamar being in a contract year, and with guys like Damien Williams & Ajayi breathing down his neck.
If we get good OG play inside finally, then this RB corp, hell this whole offense, could ROCK!
🙂
LOL @ Tim – Can’t argue that. He’s always been a tough pitcher against us, even when we DID hit. 🙂
True!
Boy: Mama, were there cars when the Mets used to hit?
Mama: Now son, don’t get all silly before going to bed. You know the Mets don’t hit!
Boy: Yeah but… they once…
Mama: Now now, what did I say, that kind of talk is not allowed in this house.
Boy: Sorry Mama!
Mama: You sleep tight, Mookie.
LMAO!!
Yes! Goodell stuck to his guns!

“On or shortly before March 6, the day that Tom Brady met with independent investigator Ted Wells and his colleagues, Brady directed that the cell phone he had used for the prior four months be destroyed.”
Must have been based on some advice from some collect calls from Hernandez.
Isn’t that data still accessible through the network? He ordered it to be destroyed? By who, Giselle?

Fuck ’em! Cheating prick!
Somehow guessing we don’t have to worry about the federal lawsuit now. No way tom wants to deal with that.
Am wondering why the destroyed cell phone wasn’t in the report.
I don’t think that they knew it then because he refused to show Wells the texts. It must have come out in his appeal meeting.
Good point…….I was just looking at the first date in Pig’s post. Certainly made a difference though.
I believe the intel about the cell phone being destroyed just came out recently. He may have also wanted it destroyed because he was having a love relationship with Justin Beiber.

Tom Brady’s suspension upheld!! Whoohooo! Going to be a lawsuit now.
He’ll dig himself even deeper if he does that. Go for it brat!
