I’m not gonna concoct a better metaphor for Jacksonville than Duval losers gathering in 90-degree heat to jump into wading pools of mayonnaise for free.

This concludes this week's Jaguars Junction.

I think we’ll do well this year.

Your coach: The widely respected Doug Marrone, who is here to kick ass and eat bologna sandwiches. And he’s ALL OUT OF ASSES TO KICK:

Having lived most of my life in Oregon, here’s my thought: Ignore everyone who says that you simply must tip 20%. You should probably tip something because it’s still a socially required custom, but I think we’re free to keep it at 15%, which is what I grew up with. Frankly, that would probably be the standard…

It’s like they took everything bad about the NFL and boiled it down and then poured it into a big fat mold and THIS asshole is what popped out of it.

You’re surprised that the guy who stole a laptop and then spray-painted his name on the back to cover up his theft is a dumbass?

I’m with you. You can say a lot of things about his politics but he’s part of a dying (or dead) era of politicians who revered those rules and customs and decorum that the rest of us are only now finding out are important to the continued function of democracy.

This was a brutal read. It speaks volumes to the systemic failures, among countless other things, in our current version of representative government. How badly people can be mislead by “their betters” to vote against their own interests never fails to sadden and shock me, but entire generations of people led to the…

I think I sprained my finger just paging through that ;-)

Every once in a while I consider joining Nextdoor or getting on the neighborhood list serv to meet new neighbors and get to know them better.

He did the right thing. Soon he’ll have a little hellion to take care of and won’t be get out to see Pearl Jam as frequently.

Oh hell, I flew halfway across the US for a 3 day business trip a few weeks before my son was due. It can be done. Just be sure your partner has an adequate support system in place if you are immediately unavailable.
