I’m assuming that was sarcasm in response to my sarcasm

Playoffs!!??

Sadly, I honestly couldn’t tell what you were going for, so I threw out something that could go either way.

Glad to see it was sarcasm.

aha, yeah, I guess my sense of humor doesn’t come through too well over the internet

I think I’ve just been blitzed by all the “OMGCRAZY” posters getting on Kurt Warner/Jay Cutler/OMGTRADESIGNWINNERS over at NinersNation (crazy people show up anywhere when roster moves are going down)… and I just can’t tell serious from sarcastic anymore.

So blame the crazy people. Your sarcasm was most likely not at fault at here.

Sarcasm doesn’t come across well on the internet unless you know the person. If they do it all the time and even then you don’t know for sure.

Riiight. Sarcasm.

Hopefully everyone realizes that he’s going to exercise his ability to opt out of the contract in a year and we’re going to go through this whole freaking pain of a drama again starting in November.

Thread hijack!

Anyone see the premiere of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night? Thoughts? I thought he was pretty meh overall but having The Roots as your house band can cover a lot of inadequacies. Though I’m sure ?Love and company will be regretting taking the gig in about six months.

I flipped back at Craig Ferguson’s commercials.

From what I saw, Fallon’s monologue was pretty terrible. And there was too much Fallonsmirking at his own jokes, which I do remember him also doing on SNL.

Especially when they do it cuz Velez dinks a ball over Manny’s head out in left field, and ends up with an inside the park homer.
