Big Daddy Smooth Just Doing the Damn Thing Per Usual

http%3A%2F%2Fboston.barstoolsports.com%2Frandom-thoughts%2Fbig-daddy-smooth-just-doing-the-damn-thing-per-usual%2F


Feitleberg already blogged about this the other day.   But I’m still getting emails from people being like “Hey Pres you have to check this Masshole out Big Daddy Smooth.” Umm are people fucking serious?  I guess that’s what happens when you’re the Blogfather though huh?    All these new fangled blogs and all the kids out there with their fancy PDA’s and lpads don’t even realize that half the shit they read nowadays originated from the Stool.   Like who do you think invented the name Big Daddy Smooth?  I did obviously.   Saw the bro dancing in the crowd at a Sox game back in 2007 and stuck him on the Stool.  The rest is history. We’ve probably blogged about him 1,000 times since then.  Just search Big Daddy Smooth on our site and you’ll get a million legendary stories about him.  Have we grown that much that lots of our readers don’t know that?  Is that possible?   (Here are some of his better pictures)

So naturally this begs the question why did I stop blogging about him?   Well because Big Daddy Smooth is kind of like Tedy Bruschi.  He’s full tilt full time.   You can’t just turn him on and off like a faucet.  He was asking me for tickets every 3 seconds to everything.   He’s kind of a high maintenance blog celebrity if you can believe that.   And then Superfat came along.    Don’t get me wrong Big Daddy Smooth still brings it and I love the guy, but he was wearing me out.

PS – Quick Big Daddy Smooth story.   I saw him outside the Garden a couple years ago with his daughter trying to buy tickets for the C’s.  I had a relationship with Higs so I ran in and grabbed him a pair of lodge seats.   They were selling for like 200 each.  He looks at em and says “you couldn’t get floor” dead serious.   Fucking Big Daddy Smooth at his finest.

Umm what happens if I start breaking news 2 weeks before everybody else in Boston? Then what?   Then do all the TV stations and radio stations have to come surrender to me?   I think they do right?   At the very least NESN should offer me prima nocte with Jenny Dell for nailing this before anybody else.  Anyway great hire by them. The beautiful thing here is I’m already in love with Jenny Dell so it dovetails perfectly into me stalking her without skipping a beat.   Great day to be from the Zoo too.

PS – I wonder if Jen Royle still thinks you don’t have to be an absolute smoke bomb to get this job?   Welcome to the real world honey.  Everybody thinks like us, they just won’t come out and say it.

KG Goes Banana’s In Post Game Interview With Craig Sager After 27 Pt Comebach

http%3A%2F%2Fboston.barstoolsports.com%2Frandom-thoughts%2Fkg-goes-bananas-in-post-game-interview-with-craig-sager-after-27-pt-comebach%2F


I’ve gotta be honest.  If 24 hours ago you told me I’d be talking about the Celtics today I would have said you were batshit crazy.   Not while the Pats are gearing up for Armageddon.   Honestly the last thing on my mind was NBA basketball.  But then this happened.  The Celts storm back from 27 down to beat Orlando and served notice to the rest of the league that maybe they aren’t dead just yet.  KG goes bananas in his post game interview talking about bar fights and shit.    Hey this team may be old.  They may never hoist another banner, but you still got to respect the hell out of them win, lose or draw.

Rescued Military Dog Reunited With Wounded Warrior Makes Me Feel Gushy Inside

http%3A%2F%2Fboston.barstoolsports.com%2Frandom-thoughts%2Frescued-military-dog-reunited-with-wounded-warrior-makes-me-feel-gushy-inside%2F



Dogblog – A wounded soldier and the puppy he rescued on the front lines of Afghanistan in exchange for three cigarettes have been reunited after months of separation. A mortar attack severely wounded Private First Class Donny Eslinger in September 2011. He was swept into emergency medical care, first at Kandahar Airfield, then Germany, and now at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. He never had a chance to say goodbye to his beloved pup, whom he had named Smoke Pup Barbarian, and toted around in his backpack when he could. But the squad leader of Eslinger’s platoon didn’t want to see Eslinger without his dog, or the dog without Eslinger. He wrote to a magnificent group called The Puppy Rescue Mission, whose motto is “Soldiers Saving Puppies, Puppies Saving Soldiers”:

“Smoke was the only bit of morale that made these kids forget where they were and cope with the tragedy we just experienced. It is amazing how therapeutic a little creature can be. Donny took care of that dog up until he was injured. Many of us in his Platoon would love nothing more than to see Smoke reunited with Donny. It would be the only decent thing we would see come from this place.”

After a great deal of paperwork and fundraising, the two were reunited at the hospital this week, and word is that the two couldn’t be happier. Check them out in the photo below. Smoke has grown up since last seeing Eslinger. They’ve both been through so much since September. And now the pup who was rescued by the soldier may well help rescue the soldier. Visit Soldier Dogs website for more great stories

How fucking cute was Smoke Pup Barbarian getting toted around in the backpack? Maybe the cutest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. For real. Anyway just another shining example why everybody needs dogs. It doesn’t matter what your situation, income, status or what. Dogs love you unconditionally and make you feel better about your life. That’s not me talking. That’s science. If this was a cat he would have run to the first able bodied man and forgot all about his wounded master. Not this guy. As Mark Twain once said “If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man”. Yup dogs for the win yet again.

I Can’t Stop Talking About This Joe Paterno Shit

http%3A%2F%2Fboston.barstoolsports.com%2Frandom-thoughts%2Fi-cant-stop-talking-about-this-joe-paterno-shit%2F

I know I should move past this Joe Paterno funeral stuff, but I just can’t. This shit is too surreal. It almost reminds me of the State of the Union address where everybody is trying to trick themselves into thinking everything is hunky dory by clapping as loudly and often as they can. I mean am I on crazy pills here or did Phil Knight just say Joe Paterno had zero culpablity in the the Penn State scandal? That he did everything he could do and it wasn’t his fault at all?  And then did he get a standing ovation for it?

Umm bro he was the most powerful guy at the school. He knew his assistant coach was raping little boys in the shower. He knew Sandusky ran a kid’s foundation. He knew he still had an office on campus. He knew he still worked with kids. He knew all of that and did nothing.   That’s not speculation.  Joe Paterno admitted all of that.  So how the fuck can you say he did nothing wrong?  Is this earth?

Because I don’t care who you are, if you have all that info and just sit there you deserve to be in jail.     And that’s without taking into account the reason he did nothing was probably to protect himself, his legacy and his football team.   So don’t sit here and act like the guy is ghandi.  It honestly makes me want to puke.    Penn State needs to stop pointing the finger at everybody else and admit JoePa fucked up and he fucked up bad and he wasn’t the man they keep saying he was.
