OK, so this week will be the first, and hopefully the last article called “Mikey Says” Unfortunately, I only got one question this week (Thanks Wyo!). What I then decided to do, was just give my impression of our first effort against the Redskins, and a little preview and some advice of what we need to improve on in that game.
First off though, let’s answer the question that was asked, he certainly deserves that much!
from Wyo
Q – Now that Lynch got STUFFED for a loss to seal the LOSS for the water chickens!
Can we finally quit hearing about “If they would have run Lynch they would have won the SB”?
For the Fins There seems to be a lot of Folks that must have drank the Kool-Aid?
But it’s not the usual Kool-Aid Swillers! It’s the negative Nellie’s!
Did everyone not realize our LB’s were the weak spot of the team?
That our line hadn’t had time to work together and there would be growing pains?
Nah, I still think the Seahawks should have run the ball, you go with what brung ya, and that’s what got the Seahawks to the big game game. It’s not like we were asking them to run from the 5 yard line, they were at the 1, so let Marshawn finish the tired, underinflated Patriots defense off and give Pete the Weasel the trophy.
As for the Dolphins, yes the LB’s aren’t great, but I did expect a lot more from them. Sheppard was non-existent, and although Misi and Jenkins were better, still nary an impact play from that group.
As for the O-line, I don’t want any damn excuses that they haven’t worked together. How did Washington’s O-line with RT Morgan Moses who is a new starter, RG rookie Brandon Scherff, newly acquired C from SF Kory Lichtensteiger, newly acquired LG from CLE Shawn Lauvao and pro bowl LT Trent Williams keep our vaunted D-line off of Kirk Cousins? Look at the Redskins D-line of LE Stephen Paea, NT Terrance Knighton, RE Jason Hatcher, and tell me which D-line would you rather block? We managed one paltry sack against the Redskins newly put together O-line, and it was rookie Jordan Phillips, not “Everything is different, Suh is here”, or Earl Mitchell, Vernon or the great EarthWake. Honestly, there are no excuses. This is what we chose to go with, and we will either be good or bad with it.
Thanks for participating as per usghe Wyo!
_____________________________________________
OK, now for some scathing commentary on our 2015 Miami Dolphins . . .
So a bunch of cut blocking no name Washington Redskins O-linemen neutralized the best D-line in football? WTF! Seriously? We’re OK with this? I’m not OK with it at all. That unit better show a helluva lot more than what they showed Week 1 against the Redskins. No run stopping, blowing up running plays in the backfield. No sacks, nothing! If it weren’t for rookie Jordan Phillips busting through, we wouldn’t have had a sack against WAS, and don’t tell me one was brought back due to penalty! WahWah!
I’m shocked how bad Sheppard was. This is last chance at ever being s starting MLB in the NFL, and he goes out there and makes 3 tackles and 2 assists, while the Redskins have 37 rush attempts, for 151 yards. That’s embarrassing. Was he spectating? Is he a big fan of Zach Vigil, and he’s trying to give him a leg up? Misi and Jenkins were better with 9 tackles, 2 assists and 7 tackles 4 assists respectively.
Ndamukong Suh? How many snaps did he play? I saw him in there an awful lot, but I don’t have an official snap count, but 1 tackle, 1 assist. He’s not Tim Bowens trying to eat up 2 blockers, he’s a penetrating beast that eats RB’s in the backfield, and drags down QB’s by their locks, but not Sunday. I think Suh was spectating along Sheppard, or maybe he’s a big fan of Jordan Phillips, and wants to see more of him.
OK, enough of the bad, let’s take a look at some of the good!
Jarvis Landry is the man, and I couldn’t have been more wrong with my criticism of selecting him in the 2nd RD. He’s my favorite player on the Dolphins, and if I were to buy a jersey (I’m NOT!!!), it would be his. He is a pleasure to watch every week, and I’m more impressed each time I see him play.
Reshad Jones was everywhere, and although he didn’t get an INT or a sack, he was making tackles all over the field, and yes they were tackles the LB’s SHOULD have made.
Brice McCain got his first INT in Miami, and although I had hoped Jamar Taylor would start, and maybe he will down the line, McCain played well enough. Grimes also got us an INT, and that’s what we expect from him, and he came through. We didn’t killed through the air, especially considering the lack of pass rush.
Jordan Cameron can make catches down the field. The last time we had a guy like him (NO, it wasn’t Charles Clay), was probably David Martin. If he can stay healthy, and he did take a couple of hard shots last week, he can be a good guy for Tanny to have.What a great diving catch he made!
Millertime looked good when we finally decided to actually give him the ball. 13 carries, 53 yards, but why we continue to not give him carries, i’ll never understand it. We could have 20 different OC’s, and MillerTime will STILL get 15 max carries a game. Baffling!
Did I mention that Landry is the man? Great job receiving, and his PR won us the game last week. When all else fails, look to Juice to get it done!
Really surprised to so much of Rishard Matthews. Not that it’s a bad thing, I was just surprised how much we saw Rishard, and how little we featured Greg Jennings and even more so, Kenny Stills.
Go Hot Dog! Franks didn’t miss, nailing his only FG attempt!
Darr averaged 43.5 yards per kick, and left one inside the 20, with a long of 63. Good job!
LaMike is NOT LaBron. Good Luck LaMike!
Fede looked good in the D-line rotation, playing more than expected with Vernon injured.
The O-line, I’m not going to kill them, but they weren’t great. They’re going to need to be a whole lot better when we face better defensive fronts than the Washington Redskins, that’s for sure. Face them we will too, because we have 2 games against the Bills, 2 against the Jets, 2 against the Patriots (Not that the Pats front 7 is so great, but they usually give us fits), 1 against the Texans, and 1 against the Ravens (losing Suggs hurts them, we’ll see how Za’Darius Smith fares). 3 sacks from the Deadskins = a lot more from most of the other teams I just named.
I really want to see our defense look scary to their opponents. They looked scary to me, and in not in a good way, but I want the Jaguars to be talking on the sidelines like “How can we stop those guys, they’re relentless?” I want them shaking their heads in disbelief as the sacks pile up, as well as the turnovers. I want our defense to be imposing!
I want our QB to look like an ALL-Pro, not an also ran. He can be better, he has to climb to that level. Not that he was bad last week, he wasn’t, he just wasn’t great either. Do it!
I want the real Ndamukong Suh led defense to take the field, and I want to see Cam Wake and Vernon reap the benefits of having Suh on the line.
I want us to be DEVASTATING! Do it!
GO DOLPHINS!!!

i will also be the first to Assume that at the front af a traffic jam is an oriental person.. 🙂
When I see fucked up driving and I’m like WTF and see it’s an oriental person I just say to myself, the stereotype is real and I don’t care what anyone says.
By the way can you say oriental anymore without being reprimanded? Or should you say people of the orient?

you cant say oriental anymore. and just trust me on this one. next time you see one, just use the term ‘rice people’ they love it…..trust me
damn Toba – You can’t say oriental anymore. That’s old school racial!
Had to pull out the iphone for this one. 💩 o cool On a unrelated squirrel moment,look what i found. Now would this be nonpc?? 😑 or 👤 or🎎 or♠️ Lmao K im done 💩
When I see fucked up driving and I’m like WTF and see it’s an oriental person I just say to myself, the stereotype is real and I don’t care what anyone says
i am the same way grocery shopping or walking in a mall… i just assume they are going to either come to a complete dead stop right in front of me , or they are going to do a sudden turn in a totally unexpected direction… and again, i am not usually wrong..
Right, and it doesn’t mean they’re bad people or you hate them. It it was it is. There’s plenty of white people who do a lot of the same stuff.
I can’t stand those fuckers who breath down my neck on line to the point where I actually have to say something about space. Most of the time it’s some asshole looking white dude. LOL
i usually take an ACCIDENTAL step backwards into them..
Toba — last thing I am is a PC guy, but try calling my wife “oriental” at D&B’s…….would love to see what happens. When it comes to the females, “Asian anger” ain’t no myth either. 🙂
LMAO I was thinking of you two as i was typing, and almost put an apology your way.. i was not aware that this term had become so high charged.. i apologize to any i may have offended… I’m Canadian.. “It’s What I Do !!!”
It’s all cool. Just helping you keep up with the current lingo. Long as you have another word to use what’s the problem? In this case Asian is it.

look, the answer to the jets qb problem
“He always asked for the footballs way, way before he was supposed to get them. If he could get them 10 or 15 minutes before he was supposed to get them, instead of the usual two minutes before the game – and there were some crews that let him do that – he would do it. I wouldn’t let him take them early, and I think he eventually figured that out because he stopped asking after a while. I probably did 10 to 15 games up there in Foxboro and those first few times, he’d always ask. I always thought it was very suspicious. He certainly acted in a suspicious manner.’’
— former NFL official Mark Balt on the Deflator
I believe building a science experiment in probably the most commonly used computer experiment case (a briefcase) falls under the “life liberty and pursuit of happiness” clause.
Kid didn’t do a damned thing wrong and had his freedom taken away anyway. He’s going to facebook because he’s tech-saavy and it’s good PR, and he’s going to the White House because he lives in a country that is supposed to protect his right to life LIBERTY and the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS, but still got fucked over by it.
He broke no rule.
I agree he broke no rule but the public outcry has PC written all over it. A school official or two and the police acted like jackasses when they knew it wasn’t a bomb. They pushed the envelope. It should have never been a public story.
exactly… welcome to 1984 🙂
I’m tired of wrongs getting swept under the rug because someone doesn’t like the idea of PC, which is code for: “I value my own selfish right to say ‘Oriental’ over the feelings of several billion people who find that term offensive. “
It should have never been a fucking story. Not “a public story”. That implies it should have been swept under the rug because we 1st worlders don’t like to have to face the reality that there’s actual racism in our ranks.
Toba, most of the time I get a look at them I don’t want to touch the cretans so I just say could you please stand back a bit thanks.
Gotta stop shopping at Wal Mart bud.. 🙂
or is this now offensive too ?? if it is i must once again say
FUCK IT !!!!! 🙂
LOL, never shop at stores like that. This mostly happens in a grocery store picking up a few things because my wife and I order our groceries and pick them up because we both despise shopping in the store. LOL
Jahn, what I meant is it should have never have been an issue. Not sweeping it under the rug. The jackasses should have known better and it should have only been a school matter for about 5 minutes. No police.
Fair enough Tim. I’m gonna log off for now anyway. I wanted you to know I saw this….

I agree 100% , the poor kid was doing nothing wrong ,and his teacher HUGELY over reacted based prolly on his own beliefs/ perceptions, , and poof we have this incident..
So you know, folks around here get all out of sorts when you imply that being considerate of the rights of people who are different than you, especially minorities, is some how moral and not doing so is somehow immoral, so Ima take my cognitive dissonance generator and bug out.
It often comes across to me as such. I still think it comes from fear.
Jahn: i have no problem respecting anyone’s beliefs, and morals.. Once i am aware of them..
I Swear to cow, i had no clue the O word was viewed as anything offensive… i will now put that in my do not use box..
i am a very unfiltered type of person in person, i am semi guarded in conversation until i see what lines are not to be crossed, as in swearing.. i cuss like crazy, but i f i know some is offended by it , i will make a conscious effort to curtail it in their presence… i am also a smoker, and do so in my house, and car.. if we have company that does not smoke/ has children or any issue with i will refrain or take it outside… i am not unreasonable, but i do push the envelope to the edges..
I think the whole word change thing is silly, but at the same time I keep up. Not because it is “some how moral” but simply because I see no need to offend anyone unintentionally.
If I am going to offend them……it will be on purpose. 🙂
Well said.
to this i also agree…
It’s related to the good ole days when everyone was wonderful to each other like in the movie Pleasantville which is a great movie on the subject. You know that time when everyone was just peachy. LOL
LMAO I use Peachy all the time… LOL
Stanger, too late to reserve 2 tix?
You are in……..and the crew is staying at La Quinta in Hollywood if that helps.
Kool
and i have a 10 seat van with driver booked, can upgrade to 12 if need be.. will be like 9.00 each for drop off and pick up..
What nights is everyone staying @ LaQuinta? 24th & 25th?
Stanger is busy wondering if the Pirates are going to host the WC or play in Chicago. Also if the Pirates starting pitching staff will be able to hold it together from here on out.
Kang injured his knee today as well after former Marlins OF Chris Coughlan roughed him up on a double play attempt.
Could be worse though, could be an Astros fan 🙂
Kang going down was not good, but then we are so deep, which helps. Don’t worry about the Bucs pitching though……..that’s deep too. And I’m just talking the starters there. Bullpen is balls out.
i am there from night of 23 to 28th am ,
Hope you got a good rate…when I checked, it was $152 per night.
sounds about what we are paying yes…
I don’t know Stanger, there’s only one way to view “not intentionally offending people” in my belief system; Moral.
How’s the brewery going? On shelves in your part of Cali already?
Maybe ours are different. Think breaking morality needs to include intent.
Sorry Toba – I got busy at work.
I wanted to say the only time you can say oriental is if you’re playing Monolopy and purchasing a light blue property, you’re watching Murder On the Orient Express, or you’re in a flooring store buying a rug. lol
I just can’t see how Oriental is a bad word…smh. It’s far better than what they were called in WWII & the Vietnam conflict.
It’s not a bad word necessarily, it’s just a very outdated term that they find deragatory.
I don’t get it either. I never thought of it as offensive. Go watch Bugs Bunny for offensive.
No worries, I’m at work as well, and as this whole thing is unravelling on me here, my boss and another person here are discussing a delivery to a company that has the O word in their business name.. I’m sitting behind my screen just pissing myself..
i passed on the “Racist feeling” of the word to the boss, he had also never heard of this, but is going to respect it as we’ll

Jahn,
I’ll be reaching out to you shortly in a day or so via email (3rd party email blocked on work’s network).
Btw, you going to the UCLA-BYU game? I wish I could catch a game out there. There’s an outside chance I may extend my stay until the first weekend in Oct; if that’s the case, i may go check out the ASU-UCLA game to see Rosen first hand.
Stanger
Not that this interests you at the moment, but my wife said we’re going to the next fest next year. She feels bad bout this year. 🙂
Cool — already started the 2016 list, will put you guys right after Ken’s name. 🙂
Mike E ; I thought you and possibly a horde were coming down this year ?? did that fall apart ??
well i guess god just told us all didnt he. oh well, let the kids bring anything they want to school, we dont want to upset any of them.
Travis Kelce with the wind up and punch one in. 😀

Last word from me on this..(prolly)
i have used the O word , in order to NOT offend peoples that i am not sure of their nationality.. IE: I would not want to call a Korean Chinese or vice versa,.. Thus by trying to be non offensive , i would use a “Generic” term.. again i was totally unaware before today that my Non Offensive Generic term was considered a slur..
Toba — it’s no problem. Just updating your vocabulary. For instance, if you had used it with my wife you would have been clueless…….but she would have mentioned the use of it on our ride home. Who wants to be that guy?
Exactly… i learn something new every day…
GDP,
LOL on Kelce. When I saw it on the in game update, i loved it.
I loved Rishard’s Matthews “Quiet!, i’m putting the baby to sleep” TD celebration as well 🙂
That was quietly awesome…..btw, if Matthews can keep his mouth quiet too, then he’ll be earning more playing time this season. I like his physicality as a WR, always have….the hands have always been there too, but his mind wasn’t right before….good to see him now have an understanding of the system & sync with the QB.
he had a new baby in the off season did he not ?? part of why he is supposedly more mature this year..
i also miss the TD Celebrations … TO, Steve Smith, Ocho had some really good ones, although Ocho did go overboard sometimes.. Yet i still appreciated LT just dropping the ball to the ref..

Phins strike early and finally get out in front with a fast start in the 1st QTR with a DEEP ball TD from Tanny to Stills.
Miami never looks back as the Defense shuts Jax out of the end zone!
Suh pushes inside of pocket into Bortles Lap, causing him to roll right into Cam Wake who pounds Bortles to the turf causing a fumble that is scooped up by OV and taken for a 2nd 1st qtr TD..
hold on. ya’ll are serious. the word oriental is offensive. why? since when?
ok thats it, from now on how about people just dont talk to other people. i mean you may say look at the man, and he might be offended you just the word man and not ‘hey look at the person that is not of female gender’
What about Kait ? 🙂
I’m offended when someone calls me a Caucasian or white American. I don’t want to be grouped with those bastards.

Toba
Yeah, it kinda all fell apart. It started out as 3 of us, but then my son said he didn’t want to go, and just the 2 of us were going to go. Then my wife felt bad, and said she didn’t want to go without my boy. Then it was just me, and then I felt bad because we’re trying to save money for college, and me going to FLA for 3 or 4 days isn’t going to help that any, so I decided to just not go as well. So there you have it. Next year it will happen, and that’s cool with me.
Life happens … too bad i was looking forward ta meeting you.. see how next year goes..
Yeah Toba, I was looking forward to meeting you as well
Millertime looked good when we finally decided to actually give him the ball. 13 carries, 53 yards, but why we continue to not give him carries, i’ll never understand it. We could have 20 different OC’s, and MillerTime will STILL get 15 max carries a game. Baffling!
————————————————–
This comment sounds like someone that didn’t watch the game, just looked at the stats and said, WTF is with Miller and 13 carries. The game didn’t dictate more carries, because we didn’t have the ball the entire first half, then in the second we lost a possession when Landry got the punt return TD, and the running game wasn’t working. We really didn’t have enough offensive plays to warrant more running plays. Also when trailing teams tend to throw more to catch up.
Really Steve? What was the score at half? 10-7. It wasn’t 21-0, or 28-0, it was 10-7. I watched the whole game, and as I was watching, I was wondering when we would start running the damn ball.
The run wasn’t working, even when the holes were there they couldn’t find them. Miller early in the game 3rd and about one was given a decent hole by Albert, so what does he do, he runs to the left of the hole right into the defender, Williams on the 3rd down was more of the same. As soon as Williams got the ball on that 4th and 1, I said WTF, he can’t run it, don’ give it to him on 4th down.
cool. mike e i going to the next fest. that gives me a whole year to get married.
I’m offended when someone calls me a Caucasian or white American. I don’t want to be grouped with those bastards.
‘I don’t want to be grouped with those bastards.’
i heard ‘bastards’ dont prefer that term anymore. they prefer to be called ‘my mom was a whore’ people
Steve Millertime’s limited carries were also mostly due to our limited amount of offense snaps over all within our putrid TOP.
It’s tough playing on the road in the NFL, especially the first week, so our poor performance was more the norm last week for road teams. Ten. and Cin. were the only road teams that played great the entire game and they were playing a rookie QB, that couldn’t get out of his own way, and the Raiders that lost their QB to injury. Det, KC, Giants, all had good leads, but either gave the game away or hung on.

That would be sweet as hell.
LOL Rob – Good luck!
Let’s hope it works out. Was great to meat ffr at the first fest and he’s been teasing us ever since.
2nd thought — ffr can still make this year’s.
“ya’ll are serious. the word oriental is offensive. why? since when?”
ffr — been a while, but look at it this way……..you now have another word in your quiver.
Not sure exactly why the change was, but without googling my guess would be because “oriental” is what westerners call people from Asia. You know the whole opium wars and stuff.
so on that note,,, I would assume Asian would be more offensive yes/no ?
Asian is the word to use these days. Talk to me at the Fest though…….might be a new one by then. 🙂
Wow and i would figured that was more offensive for whatever reason.. tis a strange world we live in..
toba,
true, mork was from another planet…..i guess that is the same as being Canadian
Sometimes it seems like it sir…
Piggy,
This was posted on the football pool I belong to that I won.
Was that photo shop art by our favorite pig?
Don’t think Piggy belongs to the LA Angels football pool. They all know I’m a Phins Fan so the admin must of posted it because I won. I just laughed when I saw it. Small World !!!!!
Well congrats on the V.
Hope you are and your lovely fam come down for the next Fest.
How ya feeling Bud ??
I don;t see it
That uncool graphic that UKfinfan posted about Miami starting slow, being behind in all but 12 games out of 48 under Philbin has got to stop….it changes the way you make calls & execute previous game plan…ugh!
100 % Agree
stanger,
but people from the orient are oriental i just dont see how that is offensive. it is like calling some one from mexico the yard man, it just is what it is.
What about ornamental?
ffr — like it or not it is up to them. I don’t make the rules, just follow them…….particularly in this case.
stanger,
no fricking way. i am never leaving my house again. i may bump into some one and say excuse me mister and he will get alllllll offended i used the term mister
Yeah……most likely way for someone to have a problem with what you say. Just get your ass to a fest sometime.
i wonder if piggy gets offended when we call him pig and not, he that is made of bacon
Steve
So if Tanny throws a couple of INT’s, do we just run the ball all day because the pass isn’t working?
Toba,
Still in some pain.. Thanks for asking. Getting better though. Got some liquid pain killer I just poured so that’s a good thing.
Liquid Pain Killer = Scotch?
Heal quickly bud – How did things go with the insurance company?
No.. I poured some vitaminT Don Julio Reposado !!! Good stuff..
are ya off work for a bit ?
No. Went back to work yesterday.

yep and up to me if i care about them. at some point in time this whole pc thing got out of control. at some point in time you just say fuck it, if i say something it is bound to offend someone so i am just not going to care any more.
I keep up with the words cause I like to be polite. In this case “Oriental” has been on the bad list and Asian the one to use for like a decade. Not like it is a mind field out there.
“mine field”…even if “mind field” sorta works too. 🙂
He that is made of bacon is so formal
And Delicious ….
The world does seem very Thin Skinned these days yes.. it is very difficult to not offend SOMEONE these days.. even without trying to..
Totally agree – it’s very different, VERY different from how it was as a kid growing up.
Fuck Off Aye !!!
So then just intentionally offend everyone
(Piggy farts)
Its easy!

toba,
bingo. that is it. trying to not offend someone usually leads to offending someone. that is why at some point in time you just got to say fuck it. i am going to just be who i am and if that offends you then dont be around me.
Sounds like my Life credo .. 🙂
i will try not to offend you on purpose, but i am going to just be who i am and if that offends you then dont be around me.
There i sorta fixed it..
Doggie; I am hoping/assuming you were alone and no one else hurt ?
Yup. I was on my way to work. It happened about 5:15am.

Night Toba!

Isn’t oriental just a word for people from the orient just like Asians from Asia? But as we know there are lots of different people from the continent of Asia so that doesn’t really represent who you’re talking about by calling them Asian. That’s how I always viewed it.
OK.. So what do you call people from Jacksonville ?
Jackasses! LOL
Glad you’re doing okay.
Jackoffs?

that is what i was saying. it would be like someone from Germany being offended you said European. or me being offended that some one says Italians make the best pasta. at some point in time it just gets ridiculous
and if it offended stangers wife i would try my best to never use the word around her. or if i knew something offended some one i would try to avoid it, but at some point in time you just have to say this is who i am, you dont like it go sit over there.
Right, I think he’s Irish or Scottish or something, some sort of Celt. It’s the same thing to me and not offensive.
ffr — but at this point I can assure you it would offend most Asians (I’m on their e-mail list) so why use it? It’s not like the N word for African Americans, but it is the word Europeans branded them with (based on the French word for East). But even if you aren’t around an Asian, others will know it is not the word to use. Look at what happened when it was used here.

So if Tanny throws a couple of INT’s, do we just run the ball all day because the pass isn’t working?
shouldnt you save those questions for the ask Steve segment
ok it is just time to add norm mcdonald to the trunk of the car with the wendys chick and let the old volkswagon ladies drive him off the cliff too. just make sure he is in his child molesting col sanders outfit
Rob
Yeah, I’ll do that.
Tim
I think the best thing to do is ask an asian person what they find offensive about “oriental”. There must be a good reason for it, even if we don’t know what it is.
Think I have the inside scoop on that one. 🙂
Do you know the exact answer? Have you asked her?
Is your 7:35 the explanation?
Actually don’t think she knows the history, but within her family anyone who uses the word is a racist or at least old fashioned like when your great-uncle used the word “negro” even if not meaning anything bad by it.
You use it about her and you lose points even if she won’t hate you forever (you know how nice she is). And she’s not racially sensitive at all……so why use it?
Stanger
I knew it was not an appropriate term, that’s why I mentioned it to Toba. I didn’t really know exactly why other than it was an outdated term.

first, i would never use a word around some one who finds it offensive no matter how silly i think it is. second, i have never ever heard anyone ever say the word oriental was offensive (maybe i can get on that email list). i think a few on here today just found out that word was offensive. and finally, once they are chained to my sofa they really dont care what i call them.
ffr — all cool. I may just be a bit more informed on how the word is perceived by the audience in question based on who I frigging live with.
Good lord I am Shit Disturber… 🙂
🙂
Seems simple to me Toba — just call them f—-ing Asians. Problem solved.
That ll go over well i bet😎

that term is offensive, now a day it is call body excrement mixer
Lol
Rob
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, so is that why people say you can’t say shit anymore?
Did i just hear that Jamaal Charles is a former Special Olympian ?? Id belive Chris Johnson. Guy looks like he has tuerets
lol @ mike
stanger,
yep all is good, just to be very clear i am just talking about how sensitive people are now a days. by no means picking on ori….whoops, i mean asa….damn….ok here, by no means picking on people that cant drive. so please dont take any offense.
i actually am thankful you let me know. i will try avoiding using that word in front of the bad drivers
stanger
so if calling them oriental is out i am just going to assume calling them egg rolls is also.
i know we cant use the N word any more but watermelon eating fried chicken lover is still in, right?
i know you cant call um wops, but you still are allowed to say pasta eaten pussy cant ya
i am not saying he is Italian, but his moms mustache makes tom selleck envious.
of is that considered a racist slur
Stanger, so is Celtic or Viking old school? I’ll respect the proper way, I still don’t get it.
I don’t think Stanger purports to be the expert on this, his wife is asian, so he knows that oriental is offensive. I think it ends there.
I’m just wondering when it became offensive. I’m not trying to push it or be disrespectful.
One plays in Boston and the other plays in Minnesota.. Sheesh !!!
Tim
I didn’t say you were, I just don’t think Stanger has all the answers on this topic.
Or does he..
Stanger has all the answers. He just pretends not to. He probably knows who the next president will be. 🙂
LOL @ Doggy
Nice write up Mike E, almost Hulk like rant in there.
So who do we want to win tonight?
I may be wrong, it happens once a year.😎vikings were from Scandanavia, and Celts are Scottish/Irish
As I am catching up I see a shit storm going on here.
Personally i am pulling for KC. Hated Denver from the Elway years. As it relates to Funs prolly to early to make much diff both are 1-0
Man the more I get plugged into the World, the more I think riding off to the mountains seems like a better option! 😉
Are you wearing a sheepskin coat and smoking a Marlboro? lol
wearing a duster smoking a Camel!
As much as I hate the Broncos I think it is better for us if they win. I still think they are the likely division winners and it is best for them to start giving divisional losses to wild card contenders. Now I think I need to take a shower
I think KC is gonna win today. I don’t have a preference, I just want to keep winning ourselves.
Ken
You can’t say shit anymore, Rob told me. It’s excrement.
Oh poopy!

i am pulling for the u.s. womens team. but you can have Haiti if you want
I’m pulling while watching the us womens team.
There i fixed it😎
Would it be politically incorrect to refer to Ken as a New Englander ?? Or just being assholish ?? 💩
Ken is indeed a New Englander, just don’t call him a New England Patriot
That would be offensive
Hi Kem👍😇
That thumb is a little fat. I meant Ken. I think it was clear
Kem? The chemicals will be ingested later. LOL.
You could just call me a Yankee
I would never do that to someone i like

Closing up here – Catch you excrement heads later! lol
Peace Mike E.

Is that kind of like a huge frikkin Danish
Rob
You ever tried to convince a fish he needs to die cuz your hungry and it wouldn’t be fair if he selfishly stayed alive knowing that?
Yes the conversation took place in my living room and after pointlessly argueing with me he just kinda quit gasping for water😜
