Re: Donovan

Will plead guilty to one out of the 3….I pronounce the o’s as o’s, the ‘a’ is a ‘vin’.     I think most people would be guilty of that, however.

I am old and did manage to ditch most of my Eastern Mass. accent….but not all of it, I guess.

The bathroom pic was some kind of office party if memory serves. I think he was doing some after photo of his no sugar diet. Someone had emailed him about favorite Halloween candy and he scoffed I don’t eat sugar.

I drink it.

the toilet pic seems to have gone the way of the “DACKERY!” guy, unfortunately

Are you talking about his weird pic standing in the narrow doorway of the bathroom or the pic that he took of his friend taking a leak at a baseball game? Another Fatty outbreak of weirdness: he asked security at the Apple Store (it may have been another store/event) how long of a wait it was for people at the end of the line and then Fatty marched to end of the line to inform them and judge them 😆

that might be the worst. I bet the only time this cocksucker puts down his phone or laptop is to shovel corn syrup and coriander “beer” in his fat fucking maw.  He can’t suffer enough. Hopefully this new venture is a spectacular failure and he’s forced to retreat back from Manhattan, where he can no longer afford to live, to Elizabeth NJ or it’s equivalent

Also had the opportunity to see the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam Friday. It was a bit of a disappointment. There was no context. No real attempt to show the place exactly as it was. There were lots of signs, no furniture, short videos and never a sense of what it was like to live there. And, frankly (pun intended), no moment of terrible sadness and grief for her like you feel when you read her diary. I kept trying to understand what it was really like but could never feel it.

“Frankly, I couldn’t get a feel for what it was like to be a Jew hiding from a gruesome death at the hands of the Nazi’s while I stood there thinking of puns. That’s why I had to give the Anne Frank house only 2 stars. It would have been 1.5 but the snack stand had a decent cup of French Roast.”

Honest to God

He’s a dyed-in-the-wool fucking creep.

Love when Pete tells people what to do in his columns, like telling Jerry Richardson he should take a few hundred mil less for a guarantee that the Panthers don’t get moved out of the Carolinas.  Of course it’s a total straw man, as no one has made an offer or demand centered around that.  Somebody tells him he’s crazy and Pete’s long winded response ends with this:

Jerry Richardson would much rather die with $7.7 billion knowing the Panthers would stay in Charlotte than die with $8 billion and not being sure where the team would play in perpetuity.

When has Jerry Richardson ever said anything like this?  Pete doesn’t know the first thing about billionaires, they love their money and don’t knock off a few hundred mil for something that they wouldn’t be around to see/not see anyhow.  Also, in perpetuity?  Who can guarantee that?  Whoever buys the team won’t own it forever either, then what, they are supposed to exact the same guarantee all because of some guy who died and was forced to sell the team in disgrace decades earlier?  What a moron.

I wonder if Pete would give back some cash to guarantee the legacy of MMQB?

Pete loves telling others how to spend their money such as when he wrote that the Browns should pay Brady Quinn like a top 10 pick after he fell to 22.

What is it with old people who insist on pronouncing Donovan as Dun-a-vin? Big O does this all the time and have heard others do it. Annoying as fuck.

Thats from the same cloth of people who call donuts, “donits” and hot dog “hut dug”.

Nutmeg in lasagna! My grandmother is spinning in her grave banging the inside of her grave with a wooden spoon

speaking of, not sure if I’ve told this here…my grandmother once made a concession to a couple of her grandchildren trying to be a bit more healthy so she said she’d make a vegetarian lasagna for that sunday’s dinner.  My sister cuts into her piece..

Granny!

What?

There’s pepperoni in this!

So, you put a little pepperoni in..

It’s *vegetarian* lasagna..
