It’s officially 4th of July Weekend and you can be damn sure we won’t be doing any work around here. To get you ready to celebrate your independence, here are a bunch of pictures that’ll be sure to get your red white and blue blood flowing.
My suggestion is to play this YouTube video before scrolling through the pics

You know what they do for guys like this? They make theme songs for guys like this:
The only thing this picture is missing is a fireworks display, some apple pie, a Pamela Anderson red bikini Baywatch cutout and Hulk Hogan himself.
Don’t really know much about the photo other than it was taken in Napoleon, Ohio. If this guy made this recently then huge huge props to him for withstanding the freezing temperatures and creating this masterpiece.
I spent all weekend sitting inside bitching about the cold, binge watching Netflix and drinking hot chocolate while this guy was busy turning a 14 foot mound of snow into a patriotic landmark with his bare hands. In related news I’m a huge pussy.
By now you’ve heard every sports take on the planet in regards to Josh Gordon and his suspension. The ol’ “Hit Mary= 2 games. Hit Mary Jane= 1 year.” I admit I’m fired up about the whole situation. The NFL handled this situation so poorly it makes your head spin. But that’s the way the NFL operates. It’s so far out of touch with reality. No common sense. Roger Goodell just walking around the NFL offices with a big dump in his pants all day. The common fans of the NFL may shrug off Fuhrer Goodell’s actions, but not I! No sir, I will not stand for it because I am an American in the United States of America. And being an American in the United States of America it says somewhere that you have the right to petition. And that’s just what I’ll do.
Press play and continue reading. Let the music build a little bit though
I hereby demand Mr Obama and friends reinstate Josh Gordon and strip Roger Goodell of his commissioner duties immediately. I won’t stand for his tyranny any longer! But I can’t do it alone, I need your help to have our voices be heard! This is not the America I was raised on! The America I grew up with didn’t allow dictators. The America I grew up with showed videos on MTV. In the America I grew up in you were treated fairly and with respect. My two grandfathers didn’t serve in WWII to see this sort of autocracy threaten the very thing we hold near and dear to our hearts; our FREEDOM!
We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We’re going to live on! We’re going to survive! Today we celebrate… the reinstatement of Joshua Caleb Gordon and Cleveland’s subsequent Super Bowl victory!!! USA!! USA!! USA!! USA!! USA!!
