Bob Feller Passes Away
SPORTS
Published: Thursday, December 09, 2010

Now THAT’S a life.
It’s a good thing Bob Feller lived it, because you couldn’t make up a life like his. He was the one and only. The greatest Cleveland Indian of them all.
An incomparable, unconquerable American original, Feller, who came roaring out of the Iowa cornfields nearly a 100 years ago, died quietly yesterday at the age of 92, ending a life spectacularly lived.
We will see baseball greatness again. We will see ultra-patriots again. We will see indefatigable nonagenarians again. But as an entire package, as a preposterously precocious, fire-balling teenager, shameless, selfless, flag-waving veteran and conscience of a generation, indestructible, self-promoting, one-man cottage memorabilia industry, civic treasure, national sports icon and, in his twilight years, an irrepressibly out-spoken molder of, contributor to, and shoot-from-the-hip commentator on The American Scene as a proudly old-school celebrity without portfolio — no. We will not see his like again. Ever.
Today, for the first time since Woodrow Wilson was in the White House, Bob Feller is not among us.
What a grand and glorious run it was.
He seemingly lived forever, did everything, knew everybody, went everywhere. But he was hardly Everyman.
He lived so long that he was a Hall of Famer for more years than he wasn’t a Hall of Famer. Cooperstown welcomed him in 1962, when he was a mere 43 years old. A pup.
At either end of his life he mocked convention. He made his major league debut — this is beyond outrageous — at 17. In his first major league start he set a major league record for strikeouts in a game, and then after that season went back to high school for his senior year. Think about that.
He lived to be 92. How many 92-year-olds do you know? Continued...

How is your day going?
There I was sitting at the bar staring at my drink when a large, trouble-making biker steps up next to me, grabs my drink and gulps it down in one swig.
"Well, whatcha gonna do about it?" he says, menacingly, as I burst into tears.
"Come on, man," the biker says, "I didn't think you'd CRY. I can`t stand to see a man crying."
"This is the worst day of my life," I say. "I'm a complete failure. I was late to a meeting and my boss fired me. When I went to the parking
lot, I found my car had been stolen and I don't have any insurance. I left my wallet in the cab I took home. I found my old lady in bed with
the gardener and then my dog bit me."
"So I came to this bar to work up the courage to put an end to it all,
I buy a drink, I drop a capsule in and sit here watching the arsenic dissolve. Then some asshole shows up and drinks the whole thing!
But enough about me, how's your day going?"

Father of one of my Children
A guy goes to the supermarket and notices a beautiful blonde wave at him and tell him hello... He's rather taken back, because he knows her but can't place where he knows her from.
So he says "Do you and I know each other?"
She replies "I think you are the father of one of my children."
With his thoughts in a whirlwind, he thinks back to the one time he had ever been unfaithful and says..."My God, are you the stripper from my bachelor party I had sex with on the pool table with all my buddies watching, and oh yea, while your partner whipped my ass with wet celery and then stuck a carrot up my butt?"
The smile on her face dropped as she said, "No, I am your son's math teacher!"

The Nutball Gazette-Week 13 Picks (Sunday and Monday Night)
The Nutball Gazette-Week 13 Picks (Sunday and Monday Night)
Thursday Night quick Pick
was Texans-12 @ Eagles-41
1-0 so far--(5-0 so far on Thursday games), 3-0 on Thanksgiving and 1-0 opening night
Last week 13-3 (Wow)
Season 101-75
Hoping to go 15-1 this week
Steelers injuries are too much, Titans continue slide into oblivion, Chiefs get revenge from beat-down a couple of weeks ago, Colts win a desperate game to stay tied with Jags, If Colts lose they are in severe jeopardy of not making the playoffs
Finally a comment about the Patriots and Jets, a report that Tom Brady is losing his hair is further evidence he has stolen Justin Bieber's hair, But despite that, Tom Brady is at the top of his game and this is a desperate game for both teams and until the Patriots lose a game like this to the Jets who they have owned in recent years for the most part I am convinced they will continue to rule the East. This is the Jets one chance the Jets have to dethrone the Patriots as the Patriots have loads of young talent. The Jets have the talent and attitude to win a game like this, but not the Patriots, (I hope I am wrong)
Sunday--
