Joker called Friday morning to say he needed to be the Commenter Of the Week. The COW isn’t candy; we don’t just give it out. But there was a passion in his voice, a needing. So we gave him the go-ahead. And at about 4 p.m. last Friday, as we were on our way to see Superbad for the second time (cheap theater, what’s up!), he regaled us with his tale and followed up with the print version. It might have been cleaned up a little. You’ll never know. Joker?

A few weeks ago, when I got my first COW, I was asked to have my dating life relate to sports.  I opted to have a Kansas football post instead … and then they lost to Missouri.  After a hefty ransom paid (free), I am able to tell the tale of my last 24 hours. In said period, I’ve been stood up, lied to, called the wrong name, had it justified by the sentence, “But he’s the love of my life,” kicked out of two …. yes TWO bars because her and her friend were too drunk, and had pizza pepper poured in my beer.  I consider myself a pretty tolerant person, but the PEPPER IN MY BEER DOESN’T FLY! Any avid sports watcher will concur. Most guys will agree with me on the fact that you can play jokes on one another all you want, but any joke should not include HIS BEER!  And after all of this … I still can’t throw a curve ball.  How does this relate to sports you might ask … well it does in a way.  Only because I think this day could contribute to a new sport on ESPN.  It will be called “Pushing It To The Limits.” I mean: why not? They already consider poker, bowling, and shooting pool as a sport.  I would like to finish this by saying my well known as line with “it all went down hill from there” … but I can’t because I think I hit rock bottom with the previously said events. I do see light at the end of the tunnel because if Marko Jaric can pull a super model all of a sudden and spark some long needed decent play … there might be hope yet.
