Just Practicin’

For the Record:

Boise State will run the table, and if the computers can’t keep them out of the National Championship game that no one wants them in, then I am sure it will be a lesson learned when Alabama or OSU stomps them into the ground.  When all is said and done these annoying yet endearing little smurfs will have to stop pulling at the BCS’s pant leg.  It is just not a fair fight like…um…..

ESPN’s Jay Mariotti Arrested For Attacking Girlfriend

One of the 6 stupid Around the Horn regulars, sports commentator and writer Jay Mariotti was arrested in LA on felony charges, and was released after posting $50,000.00 bail.  It is unclear what exactly happened, but it is being reported that he and his girlfriend were arguing in a club in Santa Monica over Jay’s inference that she was flirting with another man.  Allegedly the exchange continued at their apartment in Venice, where things turned violent.  The police were called and it was reported that the girlfriend suffered cuts and bruising.

Mariotti has made a name for being the  least compassionate and most unforgiving judgmental, prick to ever write about sports.  Now, much like the sports villains he has scrutinized, he is facing public shame, and everyone is jumping on board to rub his face in it.

Personally, I defend the the villains and make fun of the stupid and dorky, so I don’t very much like Jay Mariotti.  I find his persecution all some what deserved.  My problem is that while I can totally see the jealous arguing- because everything about this guy screams I have a small penis- I have a lot of trouble with the idea that a girl could not beat him up.  I mean, I already have zero respect for any girl who would F this creepy toad, but I have considerably less respect for her now because I am certain that had she fought back, she probably could have won.

Plaschke’s Corner

Going into the heart of August is always hard for me.  Summer is not my favorite season.  I would like to take this time to educate everyone with similar struggles on how to cope.

Hats

Hats are your best friends and are ok at sporting events.  It is important to keep hats everywhere.  In your car, house, brief case, golf bag, office, everywhere.  With no hair to protect your head from the sun, something must go in its place.   It is both visually and practically effective.   It is important to avoid a sunburned head.  Mine personally starts to peal and and scab until it begins looking like snake skin, and without hair to catch the dandruff it just piles up even worse on my shirts.  A hat is your summertime scalp solution.

Unfortunately hats are not appropriate for all situations, and at times the head burn is unavoidable.  When this happens I try to have my topical solution handy.  I mix lotion, aloe-vera, lavender oil, Preparation H, tomato juice, and coco butter together, apply to scalp for 2 hours and then wash off.  This concoction is also very effective if put into a sock before making love to it.

Antiperspirants

Before we get into deodorants it is important that, just like hats, you stock up on undershirts and have at least two to three to change into per outing.   As you may notice above I said deodorants, but I want you to get it out of your head right now that a deodorant is enough.  Deodorants merely mask smells, and while they may help those with milder sweats, we excessive sweaters must be sure to use antiperspirants.  Personally I prefer Drysol extra strength roll on, a prescription brand antiperspirant.  Not only does it work with your problematic armpit areas, it tackles sweaty feet, hands, and necks as well.  I typically apply Drysol at night and Certain Dri roll on three times daily.  Skin irritations are just a part of the territory.  Unfortunately that will always be something we will have to deal with, like inner thigh chafing.

I hope my tips were helpful and want to wish all my readers good luck on the rest of their summer.  Thankfully by October this will all be over, and we can go back to just being hot when everyone else isn’t.

26 Arrests in 5 Hours at U.S. Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach, CA

It’s the biggest surf event in the U.S. every summer, and it happens to fall in a city aptly named, Surf City U.S.A..This Wednesday,in Huntington Beach, police reported citing at least 26 people in a 5 hour span, for “pedestrian tickets”, or “drinking in public” as the rest of us know it as. ESPN and other sports networks will report this as vague police activity, but as someone who attends this event every year, I can promise you that this is all booze related fines.

The U.S. Open is free, on the beach, and centered around the highest concentration of bars in the area. Surf, skate, and music brands converge to setup promo booths where they hand out free crap to the thousands of people cruising the beach between skate, surf, and bmx events held on the wide sandy beaches of HB.

Free stuff, booze, and the close proximity to the 909 area code are a sure-fire recipe for a hot summer mess every year, but we love it. Expect to see the arrest numbers climb as this weekend is the finals, and the crowds will only swell into Sunday night.

JERK of the Week

Michalis Hatzigiannis    Featured     Jerk of the Week, Skip Bayless

People who talk to others while at the gym are stupid.  People who bring their cellphones to the gym to talk to others are big douche bags.   People  who bring their cell phone to the gym so that they can have a picture taken of them self pumping iron, to be later uploaded to their Twitter are nonexistent because no one is that ridiculous.  This is so much worse than even posing in the mirror shirtless for a Facebook photo.  Not only does Skip Bayless have the most annoying opinions, he is also the worst person ever.  He deserves his position in life less than Paris Hilton, but there is nothing I can do about that.  What I can do is name Skip Bayless JERK of the Week.
