How the Magic Happens Here at DDS

By | May 13, 2010 | Football, Sports Psych, Unsportmanlike Conduct | 5 Comments

It’s so much fun to be a part of a collaborative blog like Draft Day Suit. Just getting the stories written can be informative and entertaining. Take our latest story for instance. Someone found a link to a story about the 420 Football League. (Really. The 420 FL. You can look it up. And, Yes, it is exactly what it sounds like.) And this is what ensued:420-marijuana-edible-612

Sarah, Good Squad Sarah: [Whoever takes this story should be] someone who knows the current language for weed. If I do this I will just end up sounding really old.

Laurie: Points if you sound excessively elderly and work “one toke over the line” in there somewhere.

Jennifer: Yeah, I think it would be even funnier if all the wrong terms were used.

Laurie: FANTASY SMOKING OF THE GANJA! LAST PUNT WITH MARYJANE! (I’m anticipating a rough day at work. Just blowing off some steam.)

Kim: Stop this. Y’all are giving me the munchies.

Sarah, GSS: Or say “a marijuana cigarette”

Trish: “tarnish the image of the NFL … and dilutes the strength and value of the NFL trademark.”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA love that.. like they have a great image right now

Devra: I can hear my mom commenting about the FL 420, “The league will play on Grass?”

Devra:  Got reefer? What about some Acapulco Gold? Thai Stick?

Clay: I have no idea what you people are talking about. I’ve heard nothing good about the pot.

Jennifer:  “The Pot.”  Isn’t that a toilet?  As in “shit or get off…”

Kim: For more see:

or my personal favorite, slang for parents:

Devra: So does Gatorade quench cottonmouth? Or will the 420 use beer?

Jennifer: They’ll probably just drink the bong water.  Why waste it, eh?

MomoFali: Holey schmoley, what have I gotten myself into?  You’re all a bunch of lunatics. I think I’m going to like it here.

Devra: Momo, Lunatics? Us? You must be high. ; ) Jenn,  Now I feel like a dumbass, of course they would drink the bong water. That makes total sense. It would also give the league environmental/PETA points for A)recycling and/or conserving water and B) being Vegan friendly.

See folks? We work really hard around here, and the editorial and creative process is sacred. Be jealous. Very jealous.

As If the Bengals Didn’t Already Have Enough Bad Press

What is wrong with the Cincinnati Bengals?

I have heard of teams asking stupid questions when interviewing draft prospects before, but the Bengals crossed the line with Geno Atkins.

“The only unusual question I got was if I was straight or gay,” said new Bengals defensive tackle Geno Atkins. “And that was about it.”

1) Not only is it none of their business and completely unrelated to his ability to play football, I’m pretty sure that that question goes against federal employment laws.CincinnatiBengals

2) Do they ask everyone that? If so, does the answer matter?

3) If you thought you would not get a job that paid hundreds of thousands of dollars if you told them you were gay, wouldn’t you just lie?

I’m not saying Geno Atkins is or isn’t gay. I’ve never met the man, and I couldn’t care either way, I am just pointing out an obvious flaw in the question.

4) Even if a man’s sexual orientation could be a factor in 2010 the question is personal and rude. Do they ask prospects if they are virgins? Do they ask how big their cocks are? Do they ask about their political views? I’m guessing not.

The Cincinnati Bengals need to be more concerned with drafting future felons than they need worry about if a potential employee likes doing it with dudes. Now they have to worry about the Hamilton County Police AND the ACLU.

But What Does That Have to Do With the Diamondbacks?

By | April 30, 2010 | Baseball, Sports Psych | Comments Off

I think we can all agree that Arizona’s new immigration law is fascist at best, but how can boycotting the
Diamondbacks protest at Wrigley Diamondbacks make it any better?

I understand that opponents think that not going to an Arizona Diamondbacks will hurt Arizona tourism, but um, Arizona doesn’t own the Diamondbacks. There are many owners of whom the majority shares belong to Ken Kendrick, Mike Chipman and Jeff Royer. Now, I don’t know how these three gentleman feel about the new immigrations laws or racial profiling in general, but I’m fairly certain that they had no more to do with this law than the people over at Arizona Iced Tea, whom morons were also boycotting.

Yes, Kendrick is a big Republican supporter, but that doesn’t automatically make someone a fascist.

I guess what I am saying is that while I wholehearted agree that this law should be protested, maybe protesting the Diamondbacks / Cubs game at Wrigley Field may be putting your best efforts into the wrong place.

Maybe they should call the Arizona legislators, or the ACLU or some other civil rights organization instead.

Jose Canseco Is In A Bad Mood and Will Show U What’s Up Haters

I don’t know what’s going on with Jose Canseco but it doesn’t sound very good.

First of all, last week sometime, specifically April 19 at 12:37 p.m., he was all (well actually, NSFW is mostly what he was, so watch him go off after the jump.): Read more…

Tiki Barber Ruins Everything

Sometimes I secretly love it when an athlete that I don’t like, or someone who plays for a team I hate gets caught up in a scandal, but it breaks my heart when one of my heroes pulls one of these asshole stunts.

Homewreckers: Tiki Barber and Traci Lynn Johnson

Homewreckers: Tiki Barber and Traci Lynn Johnson

Yeah, I’m talking to you Tiki.

Tiki Barber left his wife, who is 8 months pregnant with twins, for a 23 year old blonde chick.

Seriously, Tiki? I loved you. I thought you and your brother (your twin brother, you jerk) were above the Kobe Bryants and the Tiger Woods and the Steve McNairs (and  you know what happened to that guy) and the Michael Jordans… I really could go on and on, but it is too depressing.

I think Tina Fey Said it best:
