A Blogspot Intervention

So far be it for me to call out my brethren of the blog, but readers (all six of you), it's time for an intervention.

My lovely wife is in Atlantic City this weekend at a bachelorette party. All I know is that this bachelorette party involves some all male revue, which you have to question the quality of in Atlantic City. But I digress. That left one of my tickets for the Maryland/Boston College game available. The ticket went to J-Red.

In this post, much like the commercial, J-Red, I am officially questioning your fanhood. You see folks, J-Red picked a woman, over this game. The ticket was his. Yet he ended up not going. And where was J-Red when Maryland went up 42-21 on Hey-Bey's sick reverse? Well I put in a call to make sure that he was at least watching, and he was. From the inside of a restaurant.

I know that women make the world go 'round, really, I do. But readers, what say you? In J-Red's defense, he's going to the Bungles-Ravens game tomorrow afternoon so I'm guessing he was assuming like most of us (myself included) that Maryland would lose and therefore his fragile temperament could not take two football losses in one weekend. It was also cold, yes. But the bottom line is that while I was on the field after the game slapping high five with Chris Turner and Darrius Heyward-Bey after a stunning home upset over a top-10 team, J-Red was maybe earning the fruits of his dinner.

Readers, please assist me in my intervention. Bring J-Red back home from the dark side. Help ensure that he is a red-blooded male sports fan again. He may have proven he is a red-blooded male in other ways tonight, but that is not for this blog.

Are you sure he wasn't at a club in A.C. earning some extra cash?

Damnit, I thought I heard the wife's voice in the background when I called.

Man, I reek of fruits. This whole room reeks of fruits.

You're married. I win.

J-Red said...

Oops. Above is J-Red. I can't figure these fucking
Apples out.

J-Red said...

And I'm getting Ledo's now, during football. So you can eat shit and die.

Jeremy said...

I was going to say... we have a female reader here bragging of smelling like sex? If that was truly the case, we'd have the greatest blog ever. And J-Red, at least you're going to the Ravens game. If you were missing that one too, we'd need a full-fledged, Lohan-style intervention.

Haven't left for the game yet...

Russell said...

I hope you went just to endure your punishment, a 4 turnover debacle made worse by the Bungles inability to score. It must be like Chinese water torture.

I have several points here:

1. I questioned J-Red's fanhood when he decided not to get Terps football season tickets.

2. The Saturday night college game and Sunday afternoon NFL game doubleheader is a world class sports weekend that shouldn't be passed up for some booty (unless it's John David Booty).

3. J-Red unquestionably picked the wrong game to attend, if he was only going to choose one. This was clearly the work of the football gods.

4. I can't believe J-Red passed up the opportunity to scout next year's Raven's quarterback (if they're lucky).

J-Red said...

Let me clear that I did not bail on the BC game because I thought it was going to be a disaster, but rather because I had been kind of a dickhead earlier this week and I took my punishment. I did teach some Ohioans the fight song.

"ben" said...

OH J-RED!!!!!!!!

You rebound from your Michigan relationship by haning out with OHIOANS?????? And this week of all weeks?

I see how it is.

Grrrrrrr.

J-Red said...

Ohioans eat less casserole and cheese, and they sound less Canadian. I don't even consider them truly midwestern.

"ben" said...

They also make really good college football players and often choose to wear Maize and Blue.

Currently, 8 Ohioans on the roster with plenty of talent, highlighted by Crable and Manningham.
