Jagr Became Second All Time In Points Last Night

What an achievement. This whole season I’ve been contemplating what the legacy of Jagr should be. After his slow start here I thought he should call it after this season. It feels like the Panthers keep him around just for some media and fan service. Everyday becomes some new achievement just because of his tenure playing how ever many games he’s had and where that places him, but when he finally closes the book on his career he’s probably going to be remembered as a Penguin, not a Panther. But now things kinda changed. Obviously over the past week he’s proves he could still contribute with 4 points in the past 2 games alone (yes I get its a very very tiny sample size), but now he moves into second all time in NHL points. The only one above him being Gretzky’s point total which definitely will never be touched. So now it’s almost as if Jagr is at the very top in NHL lore. He’s a guy that played through the eras and achieved such an insurmountable point total wearing a Panther jersey. Maybe he will be remembered only as a Penguin for winning those cups, but as of now he’s still playing, and as much as we seem to be running though quick sand, he’s not stopping. That alone is keeping the dream alive that we’ll one day soon, win the cup, and if Jagr’s name is engraved in the cup one more time, then his time as a Panther definitely will be a large part of his legacy.

P.s- Gretzky’s point total is so ridiculous. I have no idea when Jagr will stop, but if they legalize the use of HGH, then Jagr will break it one day.

Jacksonville Woman Sells Positive Pregnancy Test To “Pay For School”

Leave a reply
A pregnant woman in Florida claims she’s making money doing something she has to do anyway ― go to the bathroom. The unidentified woman recently posted an ad on Craigslist saying she is three months pregnant and offering to sell positive pregnancy tests for $25 each ― two for $35 if the customer is traveling more than 60 miles. The ad has since been removed, but a screenshot appears below. The post makes it clear that the woman knows there are lots of potential uses for a positive pregnancy test. But it stresses that she doesn’t care to hear her customers’ particular plans: “Whether you are using it for your own amusement such as a prank, or to blackmail the ceo of where ever who you are having an affair with I DONT CARE AT ALL this is an absolutely no questions asked type of deal tell me what you need I provide it for monetary exchange. I will not overcharge for the urine test but I will not be low balled either do not contact me if you are going to be cheap and difficult.” Jacksonville station WJAX-TV went undercover to contact the woman. An intern met her and handed over a newly purchased pregnancy test. After she’d turned it positive, the reporter appeared to ask questions. The expectant mother agreed to be interviewed as long as she was not identified. “Me being in college, working on a bachelor’s and needing all this money to pay for a degree, this was a no-brainer,” the woman told the station. She added that she can earn about $200 a day urinating.

What a devious move this is huh? I never want to knock the spirit of the American hustle but I also think it’s sheisty as fuck to trick guys into thinking they’re going to become a father/about to have a million more responsibilities in life. Like yea girl if you want to use your body to make money in what ever way shape or form go for it. Sell blood, harvest an organ in Mexico, sell eggs if that’s a thing. But none of those things are potentially and probably going to be used to swindle a boyfriend into thinking he’s about to lose his entire life of freedom because of one mistake. And yea sure just as a prank that could be fine but theres a ton of chance its going to be used to trick dudes into thinking they’re going to become a father. This is not some Spencer gifts type joke pregnancy test that you could buy at the mall that looks comically fake and pops out confetti. Its like a real life pregnancy test with pregnancy piss all over the thing and a giant “+” on it.  Besides it’s not like shes raking in hundreds of thousands. Its like 25 bucks. Morally that can’t be kosher right? To potentially black mail people at the low low cost of 25 bucks? Just not worth it.

Florida Gets To Be The First State To Have McDonalds Delivery

IJR- The signing of the Declaration of Independence, the pilgrims landing at Plymouth Rock, the first moon landing — these are all great moments in America's history, moments that have helped define us as a people and a nation. Well, history will smile upon this moment, too, for the long-thought impossible, yet forever dreamed of, is now set to happen. McDonald's is going to start delivering. The announcement is one of several interesting directions the company has taken in recent months. Earlier this year, McDonald's announced that it would respond to mandatory minimum wage hikes by replacing some workers with automation and adding self-serve kiosks for customers. Former McDonald's CEO Ed Rensi told Fox News: “It's cheaper to buy a $35,000 robotic arm than it is to hire an employee who's inefficient making $15 an hour bagging french fries.” The delivery service will be available in Florida via Uber's new UberEats service at first, and based on feedback from Florida customers, McDonald's will make the decision whether or not to expand delivery service to other states. Delivery service is one more step in McDonald's effort to offer customers the “experience of the future,” which includes table service, lattes, and the aformentioned self-serve kiosks, according to CNBC. McDonald's also plans to start letting customers pay with a mobile app sometime next year.

Oh shit. Don’t look now but America’s favorite Fast Food Chain just re-invented the wheel and is test driving all over Florida. Never thought I’d see the day. Ever since day 1 of birth all I knew of McDonald’s was a walk in or drive through fast food chain. Perfect system. You drive around the block, order your shit in the comfort of your car and drive off listening to tunes 1 handed while the other hand devours carbs. Then they arguably disrupted the entire world economy when they introduced all day breakfast. I mean that was the pinnacle. What else did you need?  Your option of any burger or breakfast menu item at all hours of the day. Incredible. Do you know how much time has elapsed in the world before an advancement as astronomical as all day breakfast was? Years. I’m talking like landing on the moon, modern cellphones, then McDonald’s all day breakfast. Well they just took it another step forward towards the future. Fucking McDonald’s delivery. And yea i know there’s shit like Seamless and Grubhub already doing that. But those are metropolitan cities that have options for everything to be delivered. It was one food option in the sea of many. We’re talking delivery in Florida. A place where we can now chose to not burn a cup of gas to sit in our car for 10 minutes, drive 3 miles and place an order. Instead we can just do it from the sofa and walk 5 feet to the door. MAGNUM.

Gas Station Clerk Steals A Thousand Dollars Worth In Scratch Offs. Probably Could’ve Gotten Away With It If She Wasn’t Such A Chump

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — A Florida gas station clerk is accused of stealing $1,000 worth of scratch-off lottery tickets. The Palm Beach Post reports 22-year-old Christina Marie Beyersdorf was arrested Monday after her manager at the Speedway station reported the theft. The Florida Lottery tickets cost $25 each. Port St. Lucie police say she took 40 $10 Million Fortune lottery tickets on Sunday morning. According to police, the theft was caught on surveillance video. After the manager confronted her, Beyersdorf agreed to return the tickets. Two had been scratched off but neither were winners. Beyersdorf was released from jail Monday on a $3,750 bond. Records don’t indicate whether she’s hired a lawyer.

I can’t blame Christina Marie Beyersdorf here. How boring must it be to be a gas station clerk. This is something I’ve thought long and hard. Not because I’m not talented enough to be anything but a gas station clerk (maybe), but because I stop by gas stations all the time to get snacks and shit and I strategically pick ones that are somewhat nice, the clerk doesn’t look like he’s writing a suicide note ready to kill himself, and has a variety of stuff I like. Well every time I go up to pay none of the cashier people are overly excited to be there. Its a 9 to 5 just like everyone else. So putting myself in that situation i would just tug that roll of scratch offs and go at it til that scratch off dust builds up like a snow mountain. Seriously I love scratch offs.

Was on vacation 2 weeks ago. Didn’t do anything but stay in a cabin breathing fresh air overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains with 100 bucks of scratch offs in hands scratching away. That was on my own volition. Now picture if you had nothing to do turning on gas pumps with potentially a million dollars staring at my face. Especially since she played the big boy rolls. Not those god damn 2 dollar Electric 8’s like i play. She definitely cashed out at some point. Which begs the question, why doesn’t she just pay off the scratch offs with her winnings right? I mean 40 25 dollar tickets, she had to win over a grand. Convinced of it. That’s like half the roll. Dumb move on her part only scratching 2 and giving herself up like a chump. Probably had enough to pay off the amount of tickets and wet all her family and friends beak. Convinced of it.

The Panthers Fired Head Coach Gerard Gallant After Tonight’s 3-2 Lose to Carolina

Shocking. No one saw this one coming besides everyone in the front office apparently. It doesn’t seem that crazy in perspective considering the record this season so far after coming off of a division title last season compared to whats happened this season. There are a litany of injuries that you could chalk up as the reason for the current record (11-10-1).  As of now, Tom Rowe, the guy who fired Gallant is taking his role as Interim Head Coach. Odd right? It’s a mess. We’re being called a laughing stock again and its making me hurt in a mental way. Vinnie Viola is getting torn to shreds for being a non hockey guy firing a hockey guy. Gallant by all accounts is a good guy according to everyone and my personal opinion included. I don’t hand those out all willy nilly. I seriously hope for the best for Gallant. Maybe he enjoys life as the 1st ever Head Coach of the Vegas Golden Knights? Lord knows according to a large large sentiment of Panthers and Hockey fans in general are hoping he “Coaches for Vegas and comes back and kicks Florida’s Ass!”Listen I liked the guy as HC too but I don’t share the exact same sentiment because i still want this team to win a cup so I’ll just hope he has a great season as the HC for Vegas and wins like a relatively large amount of cash playing the slots at Ceasars. The only other sentiment that’s being shared on the web is that the Islanders should fire Capuano to show accountability. It’s crazy because I have to have blind faith in an ex-military personnel to run a Hockey team but at some points during this season I have had moments thinking this team was just too damn talented to be where they were right now. Probably wont help immediately since the team liked Gallant and now there’s a growing sentiment that the players are disagreeing with management. So here’s to hoping we beat Chicago on Tuesday and some how trend upward and make a play off spot and hope these photos of Gerard Gallant waiting for a cab outside PNC won’t come back to haunt me Lane Kiffen style

Mike Matheson Knocked Devil’s Defense Man Damon Severson Off His Launch Pad To Feed Barkov The GWG in Overtime

Great win last night. Not gonna lie, 1st time of NHL it was awesome. Just Auston Matthews putting on a clinic to ease you back into the season. 2nd night, last night, however was just feistyness all over the league. Jussi getting into the digs. Rookie Shane Harper dropping the mitts. Ekblad getting a high stick to his adonis-like visage. Officiating not doing us any favors but we got the W in the end after Matheson makes his presences known game 1 of a 82+ game season by bulldozing a guy and feeding the puck to Barkov for the Game winning goal. Hockey is back and i hope to god it’s gonna be here till next summer.

Also to note, last night the Panthers honored Jose Fernandez. I still can’t believe he’s gone and his death i think will always be shocking to a lot of South Florida people but still a great classy move by the Panthers. Was only fitting that #16 gets the game winner on the night they honor another great #16

Florida Apparently Has A Capybara Problem

Leave a reply
Joining an already robust list of invasive species, capybaras, the world's largest rodents, are now popping up in Florida. Speaking at the 53rd Annual Conference of the Animal Behavior Society, biologist Elizabeth Congdon, of Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach, says a known group of capybaras are living and breeding in Northern Florida. It's believed the semi-aquatic South American mammal was accidentally released in Florida (meaning, someone's pet escaped) sometime in the early 21st century. The massive rodent prefers to live in tropical forest areas along rivers, lakes and marshes and it's estimated that there are at least 50 currently living in the Florida wilds. Congdon just really hopes to study these oversized guinea pigs. “They might be able to make a go of it in the United States,” Congdon said to Red Orbit. “We want to keep them from spreading, but can we please not kill them all so I can study them?”

Can you name another state with as many invasive species as us? Literally every reptile under the sun i think has made its way to Florida. Iguanas, snakes of all sorts, giant monitor lizards etc. There are probably a variety of exotic tropical birds breeding somewhere here now. Unidentified species of jungle monkeys. And now we have Capybaras. Whatever that’s just what Florida does. It’s the true melting pot of America and the world. We take in people from all sorts from all those Latin American countries and those snow birds from Canada. Well we’ll just take in animals of all sorts too. Frankly i was getting sick of all the reptile and gross stuff invading the area. I would prefer we got something that’s vegetarian like this guy too. He;s like a giant beaver dog. that wont take a chuck out of my arm or anything. Those are my only stipulations. No gross skin, wont attack the shit out of me, has to be cute. That goes out too any person of any nationality coming here too.

P.s- Remember this detroit guy? it was probably him

 

Dolphin Stadium To Be Renamed Hard Rock Stadium

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. - Who knows if the Dolphins will win this season, but they'll definitely rock. According to a report, the Dolphins will announce that their newly renovated home will be known as Hard Rock Stadium. More Dolphins Headlines (@TomGarfinkel / Twitter) Grass installed at Dolphins renovated stadium Hurricanes scheduled to open season at Dolphins' stadium as construction… Andy Slater reports the announcement could come as soon as Wednesday and that the trademark was applied for last week. The former Joe Robbie Stadium, Pro Player Park, Pro Player Stadium, Dolphins Stadium, Dolphin Stadium, Land Shark Stadium and, most recently, Sun Life Stadium has been looking for a new name since the Sun Life Financial rights expired earlier in 2016. The stadium had been temporarily titled New Miami Stadium. A new roof adorns the renovated stadium, giving shade to Dolphins and Hurricanes fans on hot game days. The stadium will debut its makeover when the University of Miami opens its season Sept. 3 vs. Florida A&M.

From what I saw on twitter, the deal is worth over 12 years? That would be nice to hold onto a name for awhile since the stadium has gone through 7 since it’s inception. Nice and brand new with new shades and some new looks to the stadium. Gets us all ready for the start of the season to happen already even though there were looming questions of if it would be ready in time. It’s 2016 though and a Walmart can be built and ready for shoppers in the blink of an eye these days around here so I’m confident they can get shit done by first kick off of the regular season.

It would be interesting though if Hard Rock bought the stadium rights to a team like the Redskins though. Then you can almost spin the fact that Redskins isn’t a derogatory name since Indians essentially own the land on which they play. This also reminds me that they should add a little casino in Hard Rock stadium. Play some slots while Tannehill throws a pick.

Science Update: Lazy People (Like Me) Might Actually Be Geniuses

Doing nothing is so underrated. And, it turns out, could also be a sign that you have a higher IQ. Published in the Journal of Health Psychology, the study corroborates the idea that people with higher intelligence are more likely to be lazy. Researchers at the Florida Gulf Coast University gave their subjects a test to split them into two groups: 30 ‘thinkers’ and 30 ‘non-thinkers’. They then used accelerometers to track their subjects’ activity levels over a period of seven days.What the researchers found was that from Monday to Friday, the thinkers were significantly less active than the non-thinkers. They concluded that “high-NFC (need for cognition) individuals seem more content to 'entertain themselves' mentally, whereas low-NFC individuals quickly experience boredom and experience it more negatively”, as Daily Mail Online reports. Which, in short, means that smart people have fun brains. Oddly, the activity levels for both groups were the same over the weekend. The researchers put this down to the sample population – students – whose activity might simply reflect the behaviour of young adults (eat, sleep, party, repeat).

HA, all you people running around being more actively involved in things when in the end of the day, you might be a dumb person. Here I am just laying in bed, waiting for the seasons to change, binge watching the same old Netflix shows, oh and I’m also just an intelligent human. Basically for all you dumb people out there, what the article is saying in a round about way is that in the end I’m smart enough to entertain myself by turning on the TV. All you nitwits out there on a Saturday looking for things to do being all active and stuff are just being some silly old dummies. You know who doesn’t know much of anything? The crazy dude on the corner of Flamingo and 595 constantly out and about panhandling for money. You know who’s a smart motherfucker? Stephen Hawking. That guy is so smart he knows he doesn’t need to find a cure for curing a rare muscle disease. He just sits in his chair in front of his TV trying to quantify the universe and space and shit.

(DISCLAIMER:I don’t actually know if this is what science is telling us)

P.s- The funny part of this is, this “study” was done at FGCU. You think any of those students are for real about the academic research of our human brains? Pretty sure all they do is Dunk City from November through March and April (jk) and once they’re done with their am class they just chill on the beach till the Moon comes and goes.
