Thought of the Week - Week 4


Bears win again. Our schedule gets pretty tough now.

I am going to go away from football and share a story about a certain athlete that you wouldn’t believe he is the way he is. Yes I am going to talk about Wade Boggs! Wade Boggs is a hall-famer baseball player who is one of the best hitters off all time. My buddy and his dad won a trip to Cooperstown thru Miller High Life. A High Life trip where they got to hang out with Wade Boggs and Gaylord Perry. That sounds awesome, well let me tell you that he said Wade Boggs partied from the time they got there thru out the weekend and until they left. He said Boggs was trying to get people to stay out with him every night until 3 in the morning and when he woke up he was ready to start that morning. What a guy!

Here are two short stories

During the Hall Fame walk thru, Boggs shows up with his own beer. While going over some baseball artifacts a bat from Babe Ruth, a ball signed by Cy Young and them pulling out Wade Boggs mitt, he puts his beer down next to them and grabs the mitt and starts asking them to throw the ball to him.

Then later that day he asks a little boy who is favorite player and why and trying to make this kid say his name. Gaylord walks over to the father and kid and says just say Boggs. He so drunk he wont remember the conversation anyway tomorrow.

Love Boggs. That is what a call a High Life Trip with a High Life Man.

Thought of the Week - Week 3

I was still finishing up my vacation and I went to a wedding on Saturday night and I pounded beers all night. It was one of those nights that beer tasted really good until the Keg for the Budweiser and Miller Light ran out. They only had Michelob kegs left. Michelob is brutal but sh*t when its free why not. The wedding was a great time as well. The people were great, food was great, and the music was great. That night I crashed at O’s place and got even more jacked up when he showed up after the ND v. Purdue Game.

I woke up at 5 AM and didn’t have a clue where I was at. I thought I was at a hotel room and asked if me and O went out last night. That was a fricken hellarious! I panicked for a minute and then realized where I was at.

I didn’t make it to the game that day. I had to many cobwebs. O could fill you in on what we talked about that night. O was so drunk he thought my dog was his dog even though I have a Golder Retriever and he has a Chocolate Lab. What a good night and like I said a Win but it wasn’t easy. Lions next thank goodness that they one the week before.

Thought of the week - Week 2

What a game against the Steelers! We needed that one. That Sunday I was starting my vacation so I let one rip, another day of White Russians and shots of Jim Beam Black Label. Thanks Shelby for not winning your contest.

On Monday I felt awful but I went to breakfast to get something in my belly. I just want to leave you with this. White Gravy is delicious. Biscuits and Gravy are a perfect marriage. Hot buttermilk biscuits and white sausage gravy. Yummy! I ate that and fell back asleep until 5 PM. What a way to start a vacation.

One more thing I ate a chicken basket from DQ with white gravy for lunch and then I went back to sleep until 5 PM.

Bears going to win next week against a Hasselbeckless Seahawk Team.
