Trump Meets The Great Bri Teresi, Bama & Dawgs Are Fired Up, Plus Coach O & His Blonde Hit The Road
Can't wait to do nothing, drink, eat and watch football, maybe help hang a stocking
That's right, it's going to be a guys being guys kind of day around here where I concentrate on the final full regular/championship weekend of college football for the 2021 season. You know how out of the blue women start craving strawberries dipped in chocolate around Valentine's Day? Yeah, well I woke up craving a Crock-Pot of chili. Big, meaty bowls of chili, chunks of cheese, and beer. I'm talking full-on, pack the pounds like I'm going to be hunkered down for winter kind of day around here.
Ladies, fair warning -- either you're down with college football today or you should just go shopping. Yes, leave the kids with your husbands. They'll be just fine fending for themselves out of the chili Crock-Pot & wrestling until one of them has a bloody nose. It's that time of year when blood is spilled on vinyl plank flooring across the country. Don't worry, the blood will wipe off the new trim you & Bill installed last week.
We've officially made it to that glorious weekend where the guys reading this have zero responsibilities. You froze your balls off putting up the lights. The tree was yanked out of the attic. You took out the trash, busted your ass at work all week & now it's time to hand out some conference titles and argue -- on a group text -- about which four teams should be in the playoff.
Here's what I want you to do today while out buying chili supplies. If you see a guy in line loaded down with provisions, simply nod & say, "You hunkering down, too?"
He's going to laugh, say "here in about an hour after my wife goes shopping" and you're going to both let loose with an evil laugh.
Let's go out there and have ourselves a day.
• Jacob S. sent an aggressive email Friday morning where he called out Indy Daryl:
Screencaps are the best thing in the internet, look forward to losing money in the stock market and reading the screencaps every day at work at 9:30.
I like Gerard from Illinois hunting harvest suggestion and that got me thinking, along with a photo submission.
This photo sorta represents the reaping of work and the beginning of more work. This goes from field to feeding people we care about without leaving the family farm. We take care of everything ourselves.
This email concludes with a call of of Mr. Hard Things, I need to see some of his projects, I’m starting to question his resume. It’s kinda reminding me of a guy at the bar who talks about how big his dick is, it’s probably not that big…
Anyway, thanks for the good work, makes my work day better.
• I'll go out on a limb and say Screencaps readers have different definitions of what "Do hard things" means to them. Jacob might think of "Do Hard Things" as fighting bears with one arm tied behind his back. OutKick copy editor Cortney defined "Do Hard Things" as trying to learn how to golf. One of Indy Daryl's "Do Hard Things" things was taking part in some wild hundred-mile relay marathon along the eastern coast of Lake Michigan -- for fun.
Let's remember this isn't a "Do Hard Things" dick swingin' competition. The original "Do Hard Things" idea was born via Indy Daryl's mom challenging her four children to challenge themselves.

Thought you might be interested in these displays, especially the one that they do at the Daytona motor speedway every year.

I'm told there's a drive-thru display in Louisville that's great. Maybe one of the Louisville experts could weigh in on that.
• Chris in Rhode Island has thoughts on the baseball lockout:
While I am not at all fluttered by this supposed lockout. I am not surprised by anything Manfred does to ruin the game. At least with the other Commissioners they like the sport they head. Manfred will single-handedly kill pro baseball.
I have grown up with baseball in my life. From going to different ballparks when I was young to running an amateur league up here in RI. I will always love the game. I don't need pro ball to enjoy it.
But this will affect any younger generations like my kids (10 & 4) who don't yet understand yet that the game is good to watch at any level.
I really don't think the pro game will go away, but the current heads aren't helping it maintain.
• And finally this morning, I had to go make sure this guy's mugshot was legitimate and not some Photoshop job. Seems like that would be disgustingly hot in the summer.
