A Bachelorette Featurette: JJ is the Worst

I think we can all agree that JJ sucks. It physically pained me to watch Kaitlyn not realize how much JJ sucks. JJ just has a punchable face, and it was an absolute travesty he wasn't on the boxing group date to get the ass-kicking he so rightfully deserves. Here are the 9 example of JJ just being the worst.

1. "I'm so bummed. So bummed. But at the same time, I'm not worried about it. I'm not concerned about it. I'm still going to get a rose. So, I'm completely unfazed."

Insecure much?

NFL Extra Point Rule Change

The NFL owners voted to change how extra points will work for the 2015 season. I, for one, am furious. PATs being boring simply isn't a real problem. Here's the rule change:

- PATs will now be taken from the 15-yard line (essentially a 33-yard FG)
- 2-point attempts will still be taken from the 2 (wait, what?)
- Extra point attempts will be returnable for 2 points, in the case of a turnover or missed kick (like in college; I love this wrinkle actually)

This rule change is dumb, for a variety of reason:

Bachelorette Fantasy Recap: Week 1

Check here for the opening post for explanations on scoring and to review the draft.

It was a relatively low-scoring week all told. After all, only one Bachelor was able to score on the first night. But this is merely the calm before the storm - the season preview showed plenty of dramatic, high scoring moments, including confirmed coitus!!! Without further ado, here is your top scorer of the week.

That's right, Chris Harrison scored the most points this week.

The Ballad of Ryan M.

Every year, one contestant gets way to drunk on the first night of the Bachelor/Bachelorette. This season it was Ryan M.

The Calm:

Before the wheels came off, Ryan M. seemed like an all around nice guy. Sure he was drunk, and everyone knew. But they were clearly enjoying it (AKA feeding him more shots). This was about to change.


Shawn E. Arrives: Battle of the Hot Tub Car

The Bachelorette's resident amateur sex coach, Shawn E., made a splash (so clever) by arriving in a hot tub car. While I thought this was a great move, Ryan M. did not.

 "That car sucks."

Fantasy Bachelorette League

This year Milli, myself, and three of our friends (A, K, and E) have decided to do a fantasy Bachelorette league. We will use this league as a vehicle for our weekly recaps.  Scoring is entirely arbitrary and is as follows:

5 points for first impression rose
X points for a rose each week (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.)
2 additional points if the rose is the first or last of the week
10 points for first makeout session of season
3 points for each makeout session thereafter
50 points for ocean coitus
10 points for accusing someone else of not being there for the right reasons
5 points for crying on camera
5 additional points if it's in front of the bachelorette
10 points if you have to be "held back" from fighting another bachelor
20 points if you actually fight another bachelor
-5 points for writing a poem
15 points if the bachelorette writes you a poem back
15 points for going into the fantasy suite
10 additional points if adult activities in the fantasy suite are confirmed

Bachlorette Preview Part 1

It feels like Christmas came early. The Bachelorette cast has finally been released.

Wiz: Let me start by saying John Wall’s blazer tonight is fantastic (style post coming?). 

Wiz: But seriously, let's start with the girls' pictures. Somehow it seems to me like they managed to make Kaitlyn’s head even bigger than Britt’s.

En Fuego - Bryce Harper and the Nationals

While the majority of DC sports fans have been focused on playoff hockey and basketball, the Nationals are not-so-quietly on fire right now. They've ripped off 10 wins in their last 12 games after losing 6 in a row. All 12 of these games were within the division and they have quickly surged to second in the division, only 3.5 back of the Mets.

Let's Grade the Draft Too Early!

Draft season has come and gone, but that doesn't mean that we have to stop talking about the draft. Football won't be played for months, so we have to fill the time with way-too-soon draft grades (we've also seen 2016 mock drafts, but that's silliness we won't even talk about today). Never mind that none of these players have played an NFL snap yet. 

These "analysts" may claim that they try to judge whether a team got value for their selections, or whether their picks fit their needs or scheme. Really though, it comes down to their opinion (not evaluation) of certain players. These guys have managed to come up with completely different grades for the same drafts. Let's take a look. Below is a table of the draft grades given by various sports news outlets (converted to a number grade for ease of calculation).

Big Brother - Méhico Edition

We're back! After a couple of weeks of working hard (Wiz) and vacationing (Milli), we're trying to get back in the groove of blogging this week. And what better way to get started than celebrating Cinco de Mayo and a recent trip to Mexico by watching some trashy Mexican reality TV.

Since Big Brother Mexico is the first Google search result, and they are bringing it back after a 6 year hiatus, that's what we'll break down. Author's Note: Despite having been in Mexico for a few weeks I am not fluent in Spanish
