Around SBN: NHL Trade Rumors: Do You Make A Move For Rick Nash?

PRO TIP

  1. Do not Google Image Search for this type of bear
  2. Sun chips: not food
  3. Don't succumb to DRINKABILITY
  4. Don’t happen to sit next to old people if you plan on getting drunk and swearing a lot.
  5. If you have to preface a comment with “I am not a racist, but” or “I am not a sexist, but,” it’s not a good sign.

I just posted one of these PRO TIPS on the gameday thread earlier, and it made me wonder about what other PRO TIPS have come from the McCoven. I did some searching, and these were some of the best.

Feel free to share your own bits of wisdom here.

My grandmother was drunk and cussing a lot…

"While conservatives tell you 'leave things alone and no one will lose,' and liberals tell you 'interfere a lot and no one will lose,' baseball says 'someone will lose.' Not only says it - but insists upon it! ... Democracy is lovely, but baseball's more mature." BVCE supports SF Dugout and Manny Burriss.

DRINKABILITY! Note: It’s not drinkability in Spanish. I was watching Telemundo last week for soccer since it’s the only channel that comes in on rabbit ears anymore and there was a Drinkability commercial. It was some spanish word.

I’ve done a few but they seem to all be along the lines of “Don’t walk [insert shitty player here]”.

Pro Tips (for Chris Haft)
1) Never write

Travis Ishikawa lashed an RBI single off Cubs lefty Sean Marshall in the third

Zito encouraged the Giants by striking out seven and even fanned the side in the first inning

2) Learn to be ironic

Giants right fielder Randy Winn resembled a cross between Fred Astaire and a drunk as he somehow caught three consecutive fly balls while battling the breezes.
One waited for trailers, cars and phone booths (excuse me, those are scarce nowadays) to blow through Scottsdale Stadium on Thursday night.

I was at the gym this morning

“Running” on the elliptical. I see on the ESPN that Zito had 7 strikeouts and I almost fell off the machine.

Don't look too much into it

In his next start he’ll give up 5 runs in the first inning, and we’ll be right back where we started. It’s what he does.

I think Haft was making reference to St. Mary’s College and their world record for fitting people into a phone booth. It’s been in the news lately.

Always toe the rubber.

Writing poetry is not a good means of self-expression if you’re functionally illiterate.

No, but my job does involve reading stuff submitted by the general public.

Tyler Walker, my son, it's time you left the nest. No seriously. Go.

I certainly hope not, because I just got the former last week. I’d rather not have an exploding abdomen.

Either way it'll have a contraceptive effect.

If you read something that sounds pretty serious, it’s probably sarcasm.
