Poor Kristin...

She was recently seen sobbing at a restaurant due to “bad” news.

It turns out that while dining with a friend, Kristin was told that it is easy to determine the gender: It all is determined by the “position” they used to conceive. So if Kristin was on top, the baby is a girl, and if Jay was on top, the baby is a boy.

Kristin immediately cried out “Oh, no – we’re having puppies!”

Ha! Ha! Nothing beats 8th grade humor on a Monday morning!

Nope. Not for about a decade.

That joke has been around for years and years…

That vid made my morning

My kid’s almost a year and he went through that stage in the vid for weeks. I called him the “mad humper,” which my wife did not appreciate.

If its free, take two.

The PFF stats tell me that we need to draft a left tackle

Or go after Demetrius Bell in FA. I didn’t realize our pass blocking was so horrible. Louis and Webb together gave up a combined 86 sacks/hits and hurries. Yet, Cutler had us scoring 30 points a game during that mid-season run – and on track to have a chance to get back to the NFCCG.
