Don’t drive your car in downtown Cleveland because it will get smashed by falling bricks

April 14, 2015 Mike Leave a comment

CLEVELAND– Bricks have fallen off of a building on East 6th St. and Vincent in downtown Cleveland. They landed on a vehicle; no one was inside at the time.

This happened yesterday and is pretty much the shittiest way to start your week ever. Not only was it a Monday and the Indians got swept by the Tigers the past weekend, now you have to deal with a load of bricks falling out of the sky and onto your ride. If you really think about it though, this is the perfect metaphor for a Monday. You know that saying “hit you like a ton of bricks” totally applies here. It’s Monday, you’re probably hungover and fighting downtown traffic. I bet most people would welcome this happening to them… something to take them out of their misery.

I expect this to happen tonight during the Browns jersey reveal. If the jerseys don’t end up looking like the ones that have leaked, expect this destruction and chaos times 1000.

…I know we’re late on posting this but jersey leaks and Muni Lot announcements are more important than a car that got a couple dents in it.

Phil Taylor is not a fan of 92.3 The Fan; Challenges Chuck Booms to a boxing match in the Muni Lot

April 9, 2015 Mike 1 Comment

Quick backstory: On 92.3 The Fan the boys on Kiley and Booms started discussing some of the Instagram pictures Phil Taylor has posted recently. Chuck Booms started complaining that he didn’t like Phil posting pictures of him hunting & his guns on Instagram. Because that’s what Browns fans need to be worried about; one of our better defensive players going on hunting trips.

A couple of the pics in question:

Chuck then went on to say that the NFL should punish Phil for his pictures because it creates a bad image and the hosts then went as far as to compare Phil’s Instagram posts to Aaron Hernandez. (I don’t know the exact quotes but if someone could get it that’d be appreciated)

Someone alerted Phil of what was being said and as you can imagine he didn’t take very kindly to those words

My take: Can you agree with both sides? I get the point Booms was trying to make in that in light of everything that’s going on with the Aaron Hernandez trial that it might not be the wisest decision to post gun pictures on social media. I personally don’t have a problem if someone is a responsible gun owner and posts a picture, but can see how someone might take that the wrong way. Making even the slightest reference to Aaron Hernandez when talking about an Instagram picture is just unconscionably stupid though. To even bring up a murderers name when discussing an INSTAGRAM picture is mind boggling.

As for the hunting pictures, I have no issue with them. Professional athletes hunt and post pictures of their kill all the time. Remember when Adam LaRoche posted this picture after he killed this beast?

Or this picture of a mountain lion?

Just because a player is a professional athlete doesn’t mean he or she can’t post pictures of themselves hunting. People hunt. It’s a hobby. There’s a billion other things to worry about in regards to your hometown sports team, this isn’t one of them.

All I know is I bet the Browns public relations team isn’t too excited right about now. My guess is that a defensive lineman challenging a 50-something morning drive radio host to a fight isn’t exactly good for business. I applaud Phil for standing up for himself in that regard though.

As for the boxing match how much do you think tickets would cost? Because I’d pay infinity dollars to see Phil Taylor and Chuck Booms square off inside of a ring in the Muni Lot. Who needs the UFC to come to Cleveland when we could have that entertainment.

Coming to Cleveland this summer: A 1,000 foot water slide

Slide the City, a traveling water entertainment company from Utah, is bringing its enormous, two-lane water slide to northeast Ohio this summer, with plans to hit three major cities: Cleveland, Akron, and Youngstown.

For a fee, riders can whiz through 1,000 feet of city streets on inner tubes or other flotation devices, which seems like a positively delightful way to take in our fine city.

Prices are on the steep side, clocking in at $15 for a single ride, $30 for three rides, and $50 for an unlimited pass. Depending on the package, inner tubes may also need to be rented.

$50 for unlimited rides down the slide? Um. Where do I sign up and here, take all the money in my wallet X 10…. 1,000 feet of pure unadulterated waterslide bliss. Where is this thing going to take place though? My guess is one of the hills in the flats you take to get to Shooters? I don’t know. A great hill would be the brick road under the bridge that runs next to the Aloft Hotel and Ernst & Young building… probably a little too steep though.

If I was running this thing I’d make sure there was a bar every 100 feet (what could go wrong?), not allow kids under 18, and try to keep the hipsters out because they ruin everything fun. No one wants to see your twirly mustache on a waterslide you doofus. Go buy a razor.

OVER/UNDER 12 inflatable swans spotted at this thing? I’m going way way over.

This is just more motivation to lose that spare tire you’ve been growing since football season started. I suggest the new diet that I’ve been on since Monday- Chicken noodle soup and V8 vegetable juice. That’s it. All nutrients all the time. Remember: A minute on the lips, a lifetime on the hips.
