Mitt Romney Slow Jammed The News With Jimmy Fallon Last Night
Aw yeah. I love this segment, but I had too much red wine and tequila last night to include a good write up so let’s just watch the video and be glad Mitt Romney isn’t ironing his clothes while wearing them.

Friday Monster Blog: Favorite Slang Terms
Self-explanatory. Here are our favorite slang terms. Not necessarily ones we use on a daily basis, (because let’s face it we are not that hip) but ones that catch our ears as sweet word music. “Word music” is a thing.
Crib
Example: “Yo, let’s go grab some Taco Bell and head back to my crib and watch wrestling DVDs”
This was an easy one. Home, house, domicile, abode? All boring-ass names for the place you live. Where is the place where I sleep, eat, hang, and watch HGTV? Dat’s mah Crib, yo.

Bimbo
Example: “Hello, bimbo.”
I like this slang term so much because I’m still not sure what it means, and apparently neither does Google because that’s the picture that came up when I typed bimbo into Google images. If a bimbo is Salma Hayek being aggressively hugged by a black creature then that makes me love the word even more.

Justin Bieber’s Dad Wants to Be Justin Bieber So Bad It’s Actually Disturbing
The bieb’s dad seems like a cool guy. Shirt off on the beach. Muscle shirt and khaki shorts on land. That sideways hat is obviously something that will never go out of style. I’ve never seen someone vicariously live through their child more than his dad. He had to be pissed when Bieber got arrested for DUI. He saw all the fancy parties and wine cooler chugging slowly fading away. Clean yourself up JB. You’re dad’s hopes and dreams depend on it.

Contrary to Popular Belief, Racism and Homophobia Don’t Equal Ratings
Last week’s depressed ratings for the season premiere of “Duck Dynasty” might not have been a fluke.
The second episode of the season dropped steeply from the season premiere, shedding nearly 2 million viewers.
Wednesday’s “Duck Dynasty” drew 6.7 million total viewers — off considerably from last week’s premiere haul of 8.5 million total viewers.
While this wouldn’t be the first “Duck Dynasty” season to suffer a ratings dip in its second episode, Wednesday’s numbers do indicate a troubling trend for the A&E show. Ratings for last week’s season premiere dropped 28 percent from the Season 4 premiere in August, which amassed a record-setting 11.8 million total viewers during a period when networks were heavy into repeat mode.
Wednesday’s ratings were also the lowest-rated episode since the Christmas-themed Season 2 finale in December 2012, which brought in 6.5 million total viewers.
Surprise, surprise. So insulting what equates to about 20% of the American population doesn’t make your “reality” show more popular. Shocking. I’ve never watched Duck Dynasty, because if I’m being really honest, a bunch of guys with very cool beards blowing whistles doesn’t intrigue me. So I can say with a smile on my face that I’m glad the ratings are taking a hit. With that said, I do agree with A&E as far as keeping the main character on the show. I don’t agree with what he said, but he has a right to say it. We can’t just throw around free speech then ignore it when the person speaking freely says something we don’t like. The second reason I’m glad they let Duck Dynasty roll on is because now they only have themselves to blame for the failed ratings, and whether they recover or not, the eventual demise of the show. Duck Dynasty is no different than the Jersey Shore or Mob Wives or any other reality show on TV. They grow a specific fan base, the fan base finds something new to ogle over, and then it’s over, just as quickly as it started. Hopefully Phil Robertson’s untimely outburst will put the nail in the coffin sooner rather than later.

Cowboys Doing Cowboy Things: Sign Kicker Dan Bailey to 7 Year Extension
IRVING, Texas — Long known as a team that saw kickers as interchangeable pieces, the Dallas Cowboys have signed Dan Bailey to a seven-year deal, the team announced Thursday.
Bailey, who turns 26 in Sunday, was set to be a restricted free agent. His renegotiated deal runs through 2020.
The Cowboys were likely to use the second-round tender on Bailey worth $2.124 million before striking the long-term deal.
Signed as an undrafted free agent in 2011, Bailey has made 88 of 98 field goal attempts in his three seasons, missing just four kicks in the last two seasons. He made 28 of 30 tries in 2013, including six of seven from 50 yards or more. In his first two seasons Bailey made 5-of-9 attempts from 50-yards or more. He also had 57 touchbacks.
Bailey has kicked a franchise-record eight game-winning field goals since joining the Cowboys.
The only other time the Cowboys put a serious investment into a kicker came in 2006 when they signed Mik Vanderjagt to a three-year, $5.4 million deal that included a $2.5 million signing bonus. Vanderjagt was cut that season after poor form.
Since 2011, only Josh Scobee of the Jacksonville Jaguars has a better percentage than Bailey (91.0 to 90.8). Justin Tucker has made 68 of 74 attempts in 2012-13.
With 11 more made attempts, Bailey would qualify for the all-time percentage leader. Vanderjagt is currently the most active kicker in NFL history, converting 86.5% of his kicks.
Because THAT’S the problem. You haven’t been good in so long because your kicker didn’t have a long enough deal. Bravo, JJ. The funny thing is Dan Bailey is actually a great kicker, but when you have a chance to knock Jerry Jones and the Cowboys, you take it. And unless Dan Bailey becomes the first human in history to stop Tony Romo from doing Tony Romo things, the Cowboys will miss out on the playoffs with a week 17 loss yet again next year.
