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 PJD if he still beats it to just as many men as women. 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

Times Union:Dan Le Batard of the Miami Herald wrote a column giving voice to the idea that sports journalists are lazy, ignorant and so forth and being real just isn’t worth the trouble now.

Bonus Video:
Originally this commercial had an actual monkey, but PETA complained so they digitally removed him…
Oh, thank the Gods. I was beginning to think I’d imagined the monkey in that commercial. Not that I don’t imagine all sorts of shit on a daily basis, but still. It’s nice to know I’m not losing my last three marbles.
Nah you still got one or two of them left
Computer question:
Sculptor?!? mentioned that she’s working on learning HTML. Any suggestions on where to look for learning some basic stuff?
Here you can find a tutorial and all kinds of help, questions etc. http://www.w3schools.com/htmL/
thanks
yeah, that’s a good site! I’m actually using tuts from Adobe (I have a 30 day trial for Lynda.com). For free, pretty solid. Don’t know that i’d pay for it when there’s plenty of good stuff out there for free though.
Football related:
It was pretty sweet seeing the highlights of Tebow being hit harder than he ever was in college (the sack and the touchdown run). I imagine that he’ll be crushed a lot of times though seeing on how badly he missed picking up the blitz.
Westbrook just signed with the 49ers
Westbrook will be a solid fit there with the Niners. You got a link for the hit or can I just YouTube it?
Nope. Just saw it on the score highlights. Denver was playing the bengals.
There’s a sack at the 1:39 mark where Tebow bounces off the turf, btu the one that I was thinking of was when two dudes hit him at once.

It’s not in this clip though.
okay cool. I’ll do some looking.
He’s a big guy though, he can take it.
Watching magicjohnson’s Old Negro space program at the moment. It is Ken Burnsey.
MJ was the guy behind that? For reals?
I don’t think so. he just linked to it at the end of last call last night.
Oh, okay. I remember watching that one way back when it came out.
I’m confused by the number of comments that are already here before 7pm EST
shh. they’ll run away.
yay! dinner’s finally done!
Pre-season foobaw! Little League baseball! Mid-summer SPORTZ!
Indeed
*waves* HI! How’s life treatin’ ya lately?
It’s Monday and I have yet to want to murder anyone. So I guess win-win?
You?
What I recommend is that you kill people on a friday afternoon. That way it doesn’t interfere with the work week, and you’ll have all weekend to feed them to the pigs.
Good evening, youins.
I’d say so, yes. Killing someone on a Monday just messes up your week. Usually because you have to call a plumber to clean the bones out of your garbage disposal. What?
Brandon Jacobs still looks like a useless fatass.
Excuse me, but…”looks like”?
I guess plays like is better. I’m still pissed. 850 yards is terrible.
Quick note to commercial producers: “From the writers of” and “From the producers of” actually make me want to see your show/movie LESS. Work on it.
I’m just watching the end of Monday Night Futbol now, but I’ll throw this out there as an attempt to get people to talk about the weekend: Ryan Giggs could play 10 minutes a match until they plant him in the ground.
don’t tell me he’s the footy equivalent of Favre, I won’t buy that (and I barely know who the dude is).
Um, that’s James Badge Dale. Also known as Special Agent Captain Hook from Season 3 of 24.
I’m still trying to figure out why rebuilding Giants stadium was (a) necessary and (b)cost nearly $2 Billion.
Yous thinks Unions are a charity or somethins?
Not necessary but just another reason to sell PSLs and luxury boxes closer to the field
knock, knock, knock..anyone home?
