Let’s get it going
October 26, 2018 at 9:24 am #131775so if you delete your twitter account, does the handle then become available to the public? I’m thinking @NEPD_Loyko would be fertile ground
October 26, 2018 at 9:33 am #131776So I guess were going with penciling in the “L” because the Red Sox have to start a Right-hander tonight? Is that it?
October 26, 2018 at 9:56 am #131777Listening to the mensa matt podcast. Mensa Matt with an Alex Cora/Mega miwwyuns winning ticket joke right off the bat!
October 26, 2018 at 10:18 am #131778Josh Marion has ceded control of the Josh Marion and friends podcast to Matt- the only think he’s said in the last 5 minutes is a half hearted “Fuck Kinsler” in the background when the poor Z-team take flinger they suckered into being the “guest” mentioned him. It’s so strange- they are cosplaying Felger and Mazz, like me and my cousins used to do with GI Joe when we were kids.
Josh’s edgier material is not landing
October 26, 2018 at 10:24 am #131779Patrick Patterson, who plays for OKC (basketball) will not be traded to the Patriots (football) Josh. He might be just surface level dumber than Matt.

October 26, 2018 at 10:32 am #131780:lol:”I’ve got two minutes left guys, or I’m going to wake up my girlfriend”
Mensa- *launches into a three minute soliloquy about how upset he’ll be if the pats give up X amount of points to a team they are playing a month from now*
“We don’t want to get the women upset!”
“I wearned dat de hard
way Tim”
My only conclusion about Mensa’s relationship to the English language is that he hates it, because why else would he treat it with such brazen contempt?
October 26, 2018 at 10:45 am #131782I think Patricia and O’Brien are a combined 8-1 since they were buried by the media, Simple Ben foremost, IIRC.
October 26, 2018 at 11:00 am #131783I was listening to MLB Radio the Red Sox problem is JD Martinez playing outfield and how do you make the Dodgers not hit to him.
October 26, 2018 at 11:04 am #131784So I guess were going with penciling in the “L” because the Red Sox have to start a Right-hander tonight? Is that it?
I’m a little surprised by the Vegas numbers (Sox +140/Dodgers -150 at the Westgate).
October 26, 2018 at 11:07 am #131785Chico, check out Ironhead’s tweets on Mensa:
Matt: 'Right in front of me are two pieces of bread, because I'm going to eat a lot of crow on this broadcast. But anyone who saw this coming is lying.'
Umm, Mensa? THEY WON 108 GAMES.

More Mensa: "As far as the '13 Championship team, the Red Sox were unlikeable and they were lucky to have the Marathon bombing to make them America's Team!"
THEY WERE LUCKY TO HAVE THE MARATHON BOMBING?🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Mensa’s speech impediment reminds me of like a Looney Tunes character. I just can’t place it.
October 26, 2018 at 11:12 am #131786And a +1 to Ironhead in absentia.
October 26, 2018 at 11:23 am #131787I saw those, I was trying to not hit on material that IH had already so masterfully skewered
Fortunately for us, despite words escaping his maw with all the grace and fluidity of CC Sabathia fielding a bunt, there are MORE than enough mockable takez in a short 28 minute podcast to go around
October 26, 2018 at 11:29 am #131788And a +1 to Ironhead in absentia.
IH does the Lord’s work over there.
October 26, 2018 at 11:35 am #131789I bet the families of those who died or were maimed in the Marathon bombing enjoy hearing some dickhead say the Sox were ‘lucky’ it happened.
They were ‘lucky’ so many players had career years all at the same time, and I suppose they were lucky that Farrel didn’t over manage and fuck things up.

October 26, 2018 at 11:58 am #131791Listening to the Marion thing now. First, have to give credit to whomever comes on as the third guy in the podcast (in this instance Tim McKone). I assume they know going in that Mensa’s going to monopolize the podcast with a bunch of stupid, puddle-deep insights.
I’m listening for his savaging of the language. He has this habit for getting like two-thirds of an expression correct: He just said the ’07 team was “loaded to bear” and that Kelly has become “nothing more” than a lights-out relief pitcher.
October 26, 2018 at 12:09 pm #131792From Miz last night on the Broncos ownership shitshow
Edit: There are seven of those Bowlen kids. Are any on Brittany’s side? Are any others saying “Actually, I should be owner!”?
Yes, 7 kids. Beth is from the first marriage, Brittany from the second, so probably some catfighting based on that alone. Actually none of the other kids has spoken publicly that I am aware of, and none of the others have taken any of the ‘steps’ required by the trust. Beth is one of those “I’m rich and bored, maybe I’ll go to law school” types. She had a job with the Broncos, some made up ‘special projects’ position. A few months back when the trust shot down her request to assume ownership they stated that she got fired and she knows why. Brittany has an MBA and worked in the league office for a couple of years and now works at McKinsey, so she’s taking the required steps but is still 12 years away from the age that Bowlen set for one of the kids to assume ownership. I think there are some younger kids, and there are older kids but they are all partying and pissing away their money, some have had minority stakes that they’ve sold. Heck the brother who filed the complaint had a 20% minority stake that he sold back years ago.
October 26, 2018 at 12:14 pm #131793quick image search of Brittany Bowlen, are we sure of her paternity?
October 26, 2018 at 12:18 pm #131794Mensa was talking about how Cora can do no wrong, when Marion cracks a joke:
“He could fart in front of 100 blondes with double Ds and they would say it smells like roses.”
There’s this long, uncomfortable, Thornton-waits-for-laughterish moment of dead air. McKone says nothing. Mensa finally bails Marion out: “I mean, ob-vee-uss-lee!” Then Marion laughs.
So is this an expression somewhere?
October 26, 2018 at 12:25 pm #131795What age did Bowlen set for assuming ownership? Seems like a gigantic middle finger directed at the kids from the second marriage. I’ve always thought that these type of succession plans need to set up decades in advance and be crystal clear and air tight if for no other reason than to avoid 10’s if not 100’s of millions in inheritance taxes?

That exchange dragged my soul to hell, never to return. I’m being charitable when I say Marion always sounds high as fuck during these, but it’s probably just idiocy and lack of preparedness. At least pretend to have a big boy radio voice like your idols.
October 26, 2018 at 12:28 pm #131797Patrick Patterson, who plays for OKC (basketball) will not be traded to the Patriots (football) Josh. He might be just surface level dumber than Matt.
Just heard that part.
Marion introduces it by asking, “Hey fellas, what is the smoke that’s getting blown up my ass about Patrick Patterson…” He and Mensa are made for each other with their butchering of common expressions.
October 26, 2018 at 12:33 pm #131798In the ’09 trust he set the age at 40. From the brother’s filing:
October 26, 2018 at 12:36 pm #131799More trouble with the language. Marion: “So fellas, we know that the frigging Bills game will be a smoke show for the Patriots.”
October 26, 2018 at 12:49 pm #131800These guys sound like the guys from American Movie if they liked sports instead of bad horror movies.
