Literally Anyone Could Have Made the Kick Blair Walsh Missed

Ever since Minnesota Vikings’ kicker, Blair Walsh, missed a 27-yard, game-winning kick in the final moments of the Vikings’ loss to Seattle at home in the 2016 Wild Card round of the playoffs, thereby embarrassing himself, the team, the organization, and the entire bleeding fanbase, I’ve been making the argument that even I, with zero experience playing football, could have made that kick.

Apparently, I’m not the only one who feels that way, since many videos have popped up online with Average Joes attempting (and in many cases, making) the kick. But this one, of a mechanic in jeans and work boots, has to be my favorite (and most likely to cause me to self-harm):

(Watch for some NSFW language at the very end)

He’s in JEANS and WORK BOOTS, Blair! You should QUIT THE GAME, Blair! And don’t give me any garbage excuses about lace position. It was 27 YARDS! You should have been able to hit that with your eyes closed.

Man, do I hate my team…

Was Sean Penn the Cornerstone to El Chapo’s Capture?

The El Chapo Story has gotten even more bizarre.

On Saturday Night, Rolling Stone published a feature story, authored by Sean Penn (Yes, thee Sean Penn), who met the drug lord back in October.

Penn stated “He never could have arranged a secret meeting with cartel kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman. And it all started with a tweet”. That tweet coming from Mexican actress, Kate Castillo.

“El Chapo” Has Been Captured…Again (Escape Pending)

Well, they got him. Again.

Mexican officials have confirmed the (re)capture of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman.

At this point, the guy seems to have a penchant for getting caught. He has also demonstrated a nasty penchant for escaping, as we saw during his last incarceration. With funds and influence like he has, I’m betting we’re on our way to seeing another grand prison break in Mexico. Let’s place wagers now on how long it’ll take him to be back on the lam again.

He’ll be back on the streets by Memorial Day. Who wants action?

Johnny… “Billy” Manziel?

This is so ridiculous it seems like a story from The Onion.

Saturday night, NFL flunky Johnny Manziel decided to party it up in Vegas before the Browns had their season ending game. Now, as a man trying to sober up and change the way people look at him, this is already asinine.

BUT IT GETS WORSE!

In order to keep a low profile, Johnny decided to go incognito by wearing a blonde wig, a fake mustache, glasses, and a hoodie. Unfortunately, the idiot ended up paying with his card, and got caught.

Is it time to say goodbye to the once great college quarterback?
