Hooooooooolleeeeeeee shit – richromance – listen if you’re a spammer that’s ok..but dont’ be so fucking “Asian” about it ok?
Has he considered selling Sham-wows?
@Ibeaux:
“Our local convention center was having both a bridal show this weekend and tryouts for the local afl2 team. I’m pretty sure the scouts found a couple of line prospects over by the caterers’ booths.”
Were they brides or grooms?
He can use this time off to build up his resistance to iocaine powder. You never know when you’ll need that particular skill.
That empty lot isn’t going to clean itself, fella.
Are you trying to imply that a veteran of the Arena League can’t find gainful employment in the real world?
You sir are a cynical person and I bid you good day, that boy’s got moxy I say!

ACME
Aren’t they all “FORMER” Arena League somethings-or-other now?
Kurt Warner is undergoing an existential crisis on the eve of the Super Bowl? Not good for the Buzzsaw …
Oh, wait — you didn’t say “38-year-old _former_ Arena League quarterback.” My bad.
Jerry Jones would be wise to sign this man to a multimillion dollar contract.
Dude, you don’t have to worry. You can always make a new career based on the training you got while you were earning your college degree. Isn’t that what’s so great about the student-athlete?
Oh, and the Tooth Fairy will help you with the mortgage.
God, Sea Otter, are you ask a bunch of jocks to perform reality checks? What are you thinking?
Reality and these AFL players clearly are not friends. Hello? YOUR LEAGUE IS GONE, YOU FREAKING MORONS. “They’ve just left us hanging.” No, you have been downsized, dipshits. Your company went out of business. Your football careers are over, and now you have to find real jobs. Unless, of course, you are a 38 year old career Arena League QB of no particular note, in which case CFL teams will be ignoring the younger, better prospects they already have and beating down your door to sign you. Idiot…
I like to imagine that part of rookie hazing at any level of professional sports involves iocane powder. That’s why I have spent the last few years building up an immunity to it. So, you know, I’m ready for my call-up. Plus it goes well with bourbon, sweet vermouth, and bitters.
/Manhattans kick ass.
He can always have fun storming the castle!
…and Gildur to frame for it.

Anybody want a peanut?
piracy?!?!- INCONCEIVABLE!
Great, now Bon Jovi has time to make another album. Thanks assholes.
Hope he doesn’t get into a land war in Asia.
Maybe he can fight gangs for local charities.
Yeah, I’m not entirely sure how the AFL cancelled their season but afl2 didn’t. I’m assuming it’s because if I wanted to I could probably be a corner for my local afl2 team (the Stockton Lightening).
There’s a shortage of 38 year old wannabe pro QBs [not named Brett Favre]… would be a pity to damage this joke.
he should try out for afl2, the AFL’s development league, which im pretty sure wasnt cancelled.
Welcome to the Pit of Despair. Or as I call it, my life. Don’t even think of trying to escape until the sweet release of death.
Two words: gay porn.
Theres always a spot open on the Goon Squad.
Get a job reading Fred Savage love stories as he listens dutifully in his jammies? Or just a job, either way…
What a bunch of whiners. I bet they make at least five figures in the AFL.
Are we counting the decimal place?
They never shoulda dumped the CIO!
He can practice passing the ball with his left hand- it’s over too quickly with the right hand.
Dangerous career path, what with those Rodents of Unusual Size.
What a bunch of whiners. I bet they make at least five figures in the AFL.
