I don't know if any of you follow it but there's a Yahoo sports blog called Dirty Tackle that just might be the worst football blog I've ever seen with that level of exposure.
Bullshit: Dirty Tackle
The Truth: I guess it's all about who's dick you suck.
Now by no means am I saying that this blog rules, but the difference is I don't get paid for it. How such a no talented writer with seemingly little understanding of football managed to land that gig, I don't know.
Actually, I do know. It's not really about qualifications. It's about who you know and who you're chums with.
If I spent my day just digging up stuff about football and was told that I'd get paid to write something clever, I might just be able to pull it off. Not because I'm a great writer or anything, but because that blog is so incredibly average.

DC Metro
I have a feeling that the DC Metro's going to be featured here more often in the future...
Bullshit: DC Metro.
The Truth: It sucks.
There has been quite a few news articles regarding just how bad the DC Metro system is.
Here's one from FOX News, which surprisingly didn't attribute this to President Obama.
Here is a blog dedicated to updating you on how shit the DC Metro system is.
Here is a more recent one about the current air conditioning problems.
Etc.
Today on the red line trains going in both directions had to share the same platform. For anyone who had come in from the street or from a transfer, there was much confusion. Worst part was they didn't even bother to put up any signs. Instead they just broadcast announcements over the speaker system in bad English. The electronic boards weren't very informative either. For example, I have no idea what "-- - 4 minutes" is supposed to mean. Okay, something's coming in 4 minutes. But what?
This isn't the first time it's happened so you'd think that they would create some kind of sign about it but that would be giving DC Metro too much credit. That would be like expecting a brick to float.
Surprise, the train's not coming to that platform.
The prices for the tickets are expected to go up soon... damn I miss Seoul's subway system. Cheaper, better, hardly ever broken anywhere.
DC Metro is like a box of manure. You don't know what you're going to get until you open it but it'll always be some sort of shit.
