Only you


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

How many of you have one of those friends or family members that just seems to be a magnet for weird s--t happening? You know, the kind of stuff that just makes you look at them, shake your head and go "Only you, dude; only you."

For me, it's my sister, the one whose 'moments of infamy' include things like spraining her ankle getting off a toilet because she sat there till her legs fell asleep.

Who do you know like this, and what's their weirdest story?

(or is it you?)

That's my sister too...minus the "dude".

What are your best examples?

(don't worry if you've posted them before)

My neighbor setting my house on fire with flair gun, almost getting arrested on new year... I had both hands against cop car when fireworks begun. And many many more.

I'll start this off with this... I love my Mom, but she's had some crazy things happen to her.

1) She tore her ACL jumping up and down while waving a dish rag in a desperate attempt to get the fire alarm in the kitchen to turn off. She probably shouldn't have been wearing heels at the time.

2) She crashed a moped while in Bermuda on a cruise vacation. My sister was on the back while I was riding with my dad. We were coming around a corner of a winding road, she lost it and her handle bars scraped against the entire side of a car driving on the other side of the road. They go down and slide 100 yards along the road without getting hit by another car and end up in a cactus bush. Ambulance came, they went to a Bermuda hospital, got patched up (no serious injuries, just scraped and cuts), and then we enjoyed the rest of our vacation (without mopeds).

    • I wrote a long dissertation on who they would pick, breaking down the draft by needs and player availability and concluded (at that time) that we would go WR in the first.  Being right is humbling and dignifying.  I predicted that the Panthers would draft Matthew Golden.
    • First of all, DJ had 788 yards as a rookie And second, KB was playing with Cam the year before he won MVP, and while Olsen had the exact same 1,008 yards as KB that year, next on the list was Cotchery with 580 and then 4th was Philly Brown with 296. KB had 73 receptions on 146 targets that year, THAT'S why he had 1k+ yards, not because he was some dominant WR, there were no other WR options on that team at all. If you say Thielen and Olsen are somewhat equal, particularly in role and ability, then XL/Coker >>>>>> Cotchery/Brown. Yes, T-Mac very well could get there, and this isn't me hedging on the ability of my guy.  It's that we should in theory have a lot of good receiving options and in his rookie year, I can see how T-Mac can have a good season but still not get to 1k this year because of it. In year 2 when we lose Thielen and he has that year under his belt, then yea, I'll say right now, I'm expecting a 1,200 yard season at minimum from him in 2026.  But I just think expecting 1k this first year given the weapons we have and being a run first offense, isn't fair to T-Mac. Again, just look at MHJ for what an uber talented rookie is likely to do when there is another legit receiving option there.  Nabers and BTJ were the only games in town for them last year, Puka the year before had a lot of time as the only option there while Kupp was hurt. If that happens to us next year with Thielen/XL/Coker, then yea, I'll then say T-Mac should get that 1k mark, but I'm not going to make my expectations based on expecting injuries.
