Hurricane stuff:

This ain't over y'all. It is sleeting in Ashe Co and we still have half a dozen families in tents in the tiny community of Creston alone. Direct financial contributions can be made by check to the Creston Fire Department, 157 Worths Chapel Road, Creston NC 28615. We have a great need for skilled labor, if y'all know any carpenters that might be willing to volunteer their time. Same address, 9-5 every day but Sunday and Wednesday. This is a Christmas registry for kids in Creston.

It is too cold to wait on FEMA to not show up.

I thought The Onion peaked when it made that movie and kinda fell off since

Nah, the Onion peaked with this:

Lol, never gets old.

On another note, I blame Mr. Meeker for the team not getting the job done yet.

Okay, that's f***ing hilarious
Used to go to Chicago on business back in the days of print, no internet, The Onion. I subscribed. There was another biweekly tabloid I subscribed to - Barfly. Had great articles on all things associated with Chicago bars. Even had a T-Shirt.

Cool, so I crashed hard after work today. Near as I can recall, I think I crashed around 4:00-4:30 and slept straight through dinner. Just woke up after a full “night’s” rest.

Friday is going to suck.

This seems like an ill advised thing to do to anyone, let alone Mike f***ing Tyson during weigh ins

As much as I’d love for Paul to get his ass kicked, it’s all staged. Paul has done nothing but fight long-retired 50+ year old boxers (like Tyson), entirely because they have name recognition. What Paul does have is a shit ton of money that would convince someone like Tyson to put on such a performance.

Mike has nothing to prove and nothing to lose. Paul has everything to prove and everything to lose. It’ll be entertaining, but I'd be absolutely shocked if Paul isn’t the predetermined winner of their bout.

That being said, Tyson has been known to “see red” in the ring, so maybe he gets punched once, forgets the script and just eats Paul alive.

Agreed with all of this, especially the part at the end where I hope Tyson just forgets about the payment and has that man eating through a straw for the holidays

That feels like people seeing what they want to see for the sake of internet outrage.

Yeah, I don't think that was the reason he got slapped. Assuming it wasn't another staged event to draw views to the fight, Paul did "accidentally" step on Tyson's foot during that confrontation, so I'd say that would be the more likely reason for the slap.

He got slapped because he’s Jake Paul and it was the right thing to do
