For many people when you type ‘is so and so’ into google, the autofinish will have hilarious results:
Is Macklemore Gay? Is Daniel Tosh Gay? Etc Etc. I tried this for myself, and though I waited and waited, Google had no suggestions on how to finish the phrase: “Is Chris McDevitt”.
so I’m hoping this blog entry will at least make it try “Is Chris McDevitt A No Talent Assclown?” if and when anyone is ever lame enough to ask google a question regarding little old me.
After finishing 2nd in the Way Too Hip league last year, I figured I would go ahead and play in two leagues this year. I finished 3rd in WTH despite having to autodraft my entire team thanks to Hurricane Sandy knocking out my power for six days. In the second league, I finished 2nd, against an opponent who essentially acquaintanceraped the entire league. The guy proposed ridiculous swap after ridiculous swap always favoring him to me about 24 times in the twenty week season. I can only imagine that he did the same thing to everyone else in the league.
Was his team dominant? Not during the regular season, I still finished 1st overall, however, with Kevin Garnett and a few of my key players out, I went on to lose a contentious 7-1 final matchup. I had him in Free Throws, lost FG by .06%, lost by 36 3Pointers, 17 Assists; rebounds, steals and points were nearly 50% of my opponent’s numbers. The two most important aspects were the fact that the guy who won talked an insane amount of trash to no one. No one responded to his bullshit, and he kept posting it anyway. Also, the guy who won add/dropped 157 players over the course of the season; the next highest total was 38. Personally, I only added/dropped 11.
Fantasy Basketball is nowhere near as rewarding or thrilling as Fantasy Football. In FB, if you stay on your lineup and field the active players, you will make the playoffs. You could have the worst possible team in the league, but if you are starting people who are actually playing, you will win at least 60% of your games. No one remembers to set their daily lineup every week. It just doesn’t happen in most leagues.
Quite honestly, I think there are better uses of my time.
I came across this picture in the Wikipedia article for Mitsuyo Maeda, this is his wife and his ‘adopted’ daughter. Judging by this picture Maeda married Ray Fiennes.

With all the talk of a superfight between Anderson Silva and GSP and AS and Jon Jones, I was checking out Silva’s record outside of the middleweight division and discovered a disturbing tidbit of trivia. Of the 3 times that Anderson Silva has fought at 205, against Forrest Griffin, James Irvin and Stephan Bonnar; all three opponents failed their post-fight drug test. Irvin was hooked on painkillers, Griffin took Xanax , and Bonnar was on Steroids.
God only knows what they’ll find in Jones’ piss if this fight ever happens.
It seems that several female fighters were able to raise over $5000 by auctioning off their sports bras on ebay, recently.
UFC Champion Ronda Rousey’s bra raked in $810, while RingGirl/CalendarGirl Arianny Celeste’s sold for $449. Felice Herrig took third with $405 and Rowdy Bec Hyatt closed out the top 4 with a bid of $355.
I guess you can really gauge fighter popularity by how much someone is willing to pay for an article of clothing that held their jumblies in place. Imagine how much money could have been raised if they auctioned off Cris “Cyborg” Santos’ jock strap.
In my mind’s eye, Urijah Faber won all the auctions and he contemplates growing his hair back out, cornrowing it, and trying to take on Rousey for the crown. I’d still give her 5-1 odds.
