Last Call is kind of like Blogkakke, only on PCP, LSD and ludes. Fucking ludes man. Instead of just being a random link dump, it’s a place to congregate with fellow like minded sports fans, alcoholics and amateur comedians. So come on in, kick your shoes off and crack a beer; then regale us with a witty joke, bitch about that local sports team or ask why everyone from Minnesota is gay. If you have something you’d like to see here, our contact info is over on the right and there’s always the tip line, tips @ thegallyblog.com
Barking dogs, say what? Well, The Gally Blog has entered a partnership with Yardbarker Networks with Fox Sports. What does that mean to you the loyal reader? It means simply that we’re moving up in the world. Possible perks include more frequent posting, exclusive original content and more posts that are about sports and less about rape. Don’t worry though, there will still be posts about traveling through time to give Brett Favre’s mom a back alley
abortion. I promise. You can look forward to this development and pictures like the one below tomorrow.
Musical Interlude:
Linkage:
Rand Ball: Our own Amber Jones, aka. Berstreet meets and defeats the Double Down. Barely.
Sportress of Blogitude: Bawstuhn is da greatest fawkin spahts tewn of awl time. Or is it. Take it away Weed.
Purple Jesus Diaries: PJD presents the NFL draft or bust off Tim Tebow. I think he means bust off a nut with Tim Tebow. I don’t know how these things work anymore.
Daddy’s Sugar Ball: First impressions of the newly renovated Metro Bank Park, or The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.
SB Nation: To celebrate the Mets vs Cardinals 20 inning ball game, Jon Bois brings us a 20 act play. Just shut up and read it okay.
With Leather: A sass free NCAA? Zerkle thinks not. I myself think think they should ramp up the sassafras.
For the Fellows:
- It's hardly what I call scarf season
I don’t know if I could have found a bigger picture for you. Click twice.

Sorry I’m late.
Hopw many months?
Yo, just looked at the sidebar to see the blogfather post is at 39% popularity. I’ll call that a win.
Should we let that linger a bit, or go right into the next “Bloggers as…” series?
Good evening folks.
Let it linger for a while yet
It’s still not done getting linked. It’ll finish up at 50% I think….
Good. Because it will give us time to figure out a better way to work up the lists. This probably needs just one night of a Buzz or AOLIM group think.
Hmmm… might need to go out to dinner since i’m still on vacation.
Sounds good. We’ll give it a week to let the idea linger on the brain and then we’ll have at it. Are we doing Star Wars or LOTR or some other franchise?
My quick and dirty thoughts:
Lord Of The Rings (all 3 movies)
Star Wars (original trilogy)
Justice League of America &/or DC Super Heroes
Sports Bloggers as James Bond(s)and supporting characters and villains
Boogie Nights (I need to rewatch the movie)
Star Wars (The Prequels)
I’m down for all of these, but of this list the most intriguing is the James Bond movies.
I came up with that set right as I was posting. It has rich potential. I still think LotR is the next set.
Yeah, I know that source material better, that’s for sure.
I really like the James Bond but LOTR should be our next one. Star Wars is almost too obvious.
Yeh, I’ve been seeing the trackbacks. What happened to you over at Edge? Are you just busy?
Super duper busy. I’ll be redoing the code here for the partnership tonight/tomorrow. I’ll have your new side project ~ready to go by the end of the week, then there’s posting, editing and real life. Edge will commence for me next week or I might sneak in a post this week if I find a spare 30 minutes.
Super Duper?
+1 on it, nonpop. I can remember just yesterday you were aboput to give up blogging!
Yeh, turns out I was at the tipping point. Weird.
Speaking of popularity rankings, those things are soul crushing. I haven’t cracked 3% since my second post…
Think of yourself as a small market blogger. Then you can claim viewer poverty because of market size.
Can I get a blogging bailout for something like that? I could really use a ficus in my parents basemen- GIMP GET AWAY FROM THE FICUS
They’re come and go. Comments are the biggest factor on that number, then links, then pageviews. Unless you get up over like 700 page views, then that starts to be a major factor
Oh, that’d be why then- I get about 1 comment a post, and don’t get linked a lot. I need to whore myself better.
I’ve gotten good feedback on you. Comments as a whole will go up on YBN
Where are you getting feedback? I like getting my ego stroked (clearly).
An email here and there. Plus the limited comments are usually supportive.
Huh, coolio. That makes me feel less soul crushed by my popularity scores.
You get more views than I did on my first 12 posts.
Really? Wow.
Plus, You never got FJM’d like I did in our first months as a blog.
Wear something slutty.
*drags sorry ass in the door*
hey boys, what’s shakin?
Hey.
Howdy strangerino
gak. i’m so tired that Charles Barkley is starting to make sense.
Since Montreal likes smoked meat, it makes sense they’d like burned cock.
wait, what?
Sorry, dropping references on a blog I don’t write for to stuff I wrote while you were out of town. Translation: I’m shameless.
Haha. No problem
hahahaaa. you’re awesome.
Thanks for the linkage… that girl is going straight to the spank bank. Very nice. After I finish my Double Down (third one in 8 hours) I am totally going to hunt her down and stalk her via facebook.
Cody Love, or Amber Jones. It’s not either of their real names though I only know the one’s. 3 in 8 hours you say. I could do it, I think, but sadly I’m on a cheese, bacon and deep fried food hiatus.
Actually, I have not had one yet but I totally digged the post from earlier today about the ass hat columnist freaking out over fast food.
Touché good sir.
asshole, I said remind me about editing the Stephen A Smith post. I keep forgetting. I appologize. I’m drunk, so remind me again.
At least the one habs game I watched was close.
@ k-gun. I really only check out stories when I swing by for last call. I really should support you, pjd, avd, and others of the diaspora more, but I never got in the habit. I’ll see if I can expand more in the near future.
Also, with varlmonov in goal, there goes the series. Same thing happened with gerber/ward a few years back; montreal scored too quickly against the shitty goalie and knocked him out for the playoffs
Haha
Just for the record, I am enjoying that Paul Rudd picture as well.
Of course you do. You also enjoyed young Clint

Hello?
Aloha
Is it…safe?
2 things to start the night here: 1) preview’s awaiting review/editing. I finally got it off my work computer and imported. It appears that the savages may be blocking TGB. 2) I really like the look of that thing that’s getting e-mailed around. Solid effort from everyone.
Yeh, I want to get you in. At least pop off some commentary on the picks if you want. You got all the emails, right?
I’m sorry I’m late. I’m drunk as fuck. Went on stage again. I’ve been getting a lot of opportunities to get on and impress people. i don’t know if I’ve been doing it but the blogging has been taking a backseat to the whole thing, as was originally intended. I hope you enjoyed my comments to your convos
