Why every woman should give blow jobs...A female's perspective

That's right the reasons you are about to read were written by a woman, or that's at least what we are lead to believe. This is from the website Totalfratmove.com and it's 15 reasons why every woman should give blow jobs.

1. He’ll brag to his friends that he actually has the coolest girlfriend ever.
2. If you think it’s a “requirement,” you’re doing it wrong. Going down is fun.
3. Nothing will make him happier with less time or effort.
4. Seriously though–that look on his face. Can’t beat it (pun intended).
5. It doesn’t make him less of a man or her less of a woman to finish orally. Bringing a man to orgasm without even having to undress him is fucking powerful.
6. Besides, even if you don’t finish that way, a little foreplay never hurt anyone.
7. Can’t. Get. Pregnant.
8. He’ll have such an adrenaline rush and feel like such a man that he’ll open those jars and change your oil happily. Oh, and he’ll probably “change your oil,” too, while he’s at it.
9. You thought that reaction was good? See what happens when you bring him a sandwich after.
10. Let him finish on your face and you’ll look years younger. Literally.
11. Going to the gym later? No worries. Swallowing gives you all the health benefits of a protein shake. Besides, spitters are quitters.
12. When he goes up, the toilet seat goes down.
13. He’ll be much more likely to get down on one knee if he knows you’re willing to get down on two.
14. There’s actually nothing degrading about getting him to worship at your feet.
15. You reap what you sow.

Bravo, Bravo

Now this looks like Star Wars

Don't get too excited I'm not talking about the movie, but I am talking about a new video game called Star Wars: Battlefront. At the E3 conference Electronic Arts and DICE the people behind the game played this video.



Ok now that looks pretty bad ass!

Introducing Crobot

This is my new favorite band.

Do not be to quick to forgive a heinous action

I grew up Catholic and I am all about forgiveness, but I'm just not sure you can believe it before a punishment is served or there is a consequence to an action.

As pure metal is concerned I have been a fan of As I Lay Dying and as a comedy fan I have alway enjoyed Austrian Death Machine. Both bands fronted and formed by singer/guitarist Tim Lambesis. As I Lay Dying were labeled a Christian metal band and I was even part of a prayer circle with them once, but Tim's recent actions are anything but Christian. If you don't know the story Tim was arrested and now sentenced for the attempted hiring of a hitman to kill his estranged wife. Tim will be serving a six year sentence for his actions. Well fellow Christian Brian "Head" Welch from Korn as written a lengthy piece for Loudwire basically asking for his forgiveness and explaining how we all hit our low points in life.

Head's comments can be read in it's entirety here:

When I heard about Tim Lambesis’ arrest, I was really bummed out because I instantly had a flashback of being in that similar dark place with my divorce. I tried to visit Tim right away, but couldn’t work it out. I obviously felt horrible for how completely shocked and scared his wife must have been to hear the news, but my heart went out for Tim a lot because so many people immediately wanted to lynch him.

Not me and my crew.

We believe in second, third, even one hundred chances, if that’s what it takes. I mean, we’ve been given countless chances, so why not Tim? He’s a normal dude who had fallen into the darkest, most confusing, empty place. He needed brothers, not more enemies.

Well I don't disagree with that, but shouldn't we actually serve the punishment handed down before asking for forgiveness? Most of us in the human race do not understand the consequences of our actions until we are shown the error of our way.

So that concussion thing in the NFL is real?

I can't decide if this continues the decline of humanity as we know it or if this has something to do with the repercussions of concussions from playing football. Here's the story from ESPN:

Former New York Giants safety Tyler Sash was arrested early Saturday morning in Iowa after leading police on a drunken scooter chase and being shot with a Taser.

	Tyler Sash, who played for the Giants in 2011 and 2012, was arrested for public intoxication after leading police on a scooter chase.

Sash, who played two seasons with the Giants, was charged with public intoxication and interference with official acts by police in Oskaloosa, Iowa.
According to multiple reports, police spotted Sash at approximately 1:30 a.m. riding a motorized scooter with its lights off and asked him to stop.
Sash, however, reportedly refused on multiple occasions, leading police on a four-block chase before leaving the scooter and fleeing on foot.
Police eventually found Sash hiding behind a tree and, after the 25-year-old refused to come out, shot him with a Taser.
Sash declined a field sobriety test but admitted to drinking and was taken to Mahaska County Jail.
A sixth-round draft pick in 2011 who played in college at Iowa, Sash appeared in 23 games with the Giants. He was suspended in 2012 for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances and was cut by the Giants prior to last season.

The best Disturbed parody...ever

Who's Cryin' Like a Bitch?

Not sure actually. Here's the story.





During a tour in 2009 there was a disagreement between Godsmack singer Sully Erna and Motley Crue bassist turned radio show host Nikki Sixx. This disagrement then lead to the Godsmack song "Cryin' Like a Bitch." Flash forward five years and Godsmack is about to have a new album to promote and as bands do they make their rounds with the press and that includes radio. With Nikki now hosting a radio show someone from the Godsmack camp reached out and tried to book a spot on the show. That's when Nikki said this:

"Over my dead f***ing body!"

Nikki then sends out this tweet:

"So @godsmack begged to be on @Sixxsense to promote their shit new album.Good luck touring phonebooths.Whos crying like a bitch now?"

Ok funny line aside one thing to remember is Nikki might actually be crying like a bitch. You see in the music world bands will have what's called a publicist or a record company will have a rep to book the band's interviews, appearances, photo shoots and whatever else that will get the band press and heard by more people. There is a very good chance that said publicist had or has no clue about some silly little beef between Nikki Sixx and Motley Crue. So I'd argue that Godsmack the band had nothing to do with the attempted booking of the Nikki Sixx show.

Over my dead [expletive] body,’” begins Sixx. “And they said, ‘Well, you know, they wanna be on the show because their record’s coming out.’ And I go, ‘Did you forget the fact that they wrote a song about me called ‘Cryin’ Like a Bitch’ and that there’s probably 15 festivals that Motley Crue is headlining and that we said if Godsmack’s on ‘em, we’re not doing them?”

Dave Grohl on Soundgarden

Again Dave Grohl just sits down and talks about something passionately. Mr. Grohl spends a few minutes talking about the Soundgarden album Superunkown. 


Superunkown turns 20 years old this year.

Revolver Golden Gods Recap

First let me say that this show was a mess from a technical standpoint. Too many delays, people not being where they were supposed to be, bands sound checking when they were already supposed to be playing and so it went like that all night long. That being said the "live from the black carpet" was more entertaining than the show itself. That portion had Twisted Sister's Dee Snider and Sirius/XM radio host Jose Mangin going back and forth interviewing rockstars and celebrities coming down the carpet. It was quick it was to the point and jokes were being cracked all over the place. Plus you could feel the love and respect everyone had for each other.

After a quick commercial break the cameras go live inside the historic Club Nokia and Marilyn Manson is onstage. After saying something about going back to our roots and talking about The Rolling Stones he introduces Slayer. Slayer was not an announced performer and the killed it (as always.) They opened with "South of Heaven" followed by "War Ensemble" and a brand new song that I didn't catch the name of, but it was awesome and classic Slayer.

Our hosts for the evening Eddie Trunk, Jim Florentine, and Don Jameson from That Metal Show were introduced but it took a couple of minutes for them to make it to the stage. After making a couple dick  jokes they gave way to the first presenters of the night, Chester and Mike from Linkin Park who announced Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age as your winner for Best Vocalist.

Next up Jill Janus from Huntress (holy s*** she might kill me but I want her to make love to me) and Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro who had the line of the night when he denied being in the Red Hot Chili Peppers. They then presented Rob Zombie and his band with the award for best live band. Rob did give huge props to the rest of his band and had John 5 say some thanks.

Next up Frankie Palmeri from the band Emmure comes up to introduce the punk/hard-core band A Day to Remember. They are not a bad band but to have to be the first performers after Slayer is never an easy task. They played their singles from their latest album Common Courtesy "Right Back at it Again" and "End of Me" then ended with an older tune called "All I Want."

After another technical mishap where the emcee introduced our next presenters twice because it looked like the director of the show didn't know where they were, Carman Electra and Tony Hawk gave Avenged Sevenfold the award for Most Dedicated Fans. A7X is on tour right now so they recorded a thank you live from the stage at their show at the Target Center in Minneapolis where they gave the award themselves to a lucky fan. That was pretty cool of them to do.

Next up Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach and a couple of other guys I've never heard of presented the funk/metal band 12 Foot Ninja with the award for best new talent.

Then out comes the legendary Doyle Von Frankenstein and his girlfriend Alissa White-Gluz ,who just left the band The Agonist to join Arch Enemy as their front-woman, to introduce a live set from The Pretty Reckless. This band is fronted by the maybe 20 year old Taylor Momsen who starred on the TV show Gossip Girl and was even Cindy Lu Who in The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. She doesn't look or sound that young. They performed three songs from their 2nd album Going to Hell including the title track, their number one song "Heaven Knows" and a song called "Fucked Up World."

After another commercial break Scott Ian from Anthrax along with Pauley Perrette from the TV show NCIS present the award for Comeback of the Year. Now as much as we love Deep Purple how on earth do they deserve that award over Black Sabbath?

The super group band The Winery Dogs (Mike Portnoy/Billy Sheenan/Richie Kotzen) are next up to present the award for Paul Grey bassist of the year. The band Five Finger Death Punch were up for 6 awards tonight and this was their first win.  Then their bassist Chris Keal says when accepting the award "I win over Geezer?" Class act.

Dee Snider comes out with some guy from the HBO Tv show True Blood to present another band that I have never heard of called Pierce the Veil with the Film or Video of the year. Their music video won over the concert film from Metallica Through the Never and Lamb of God's As the Palaces Burn a documentary about singer Randy Blythe's murder trial in the Czeck Republic. You see the problem here right?

Then Rex Brown from Pantera and Kill Devil Hill along with Chris Motionless from Motionless in White introduce a live performance from the extreme band Suicide Silence. Except the band was nowhere to be found and it was almost 10 minutes from introduction until the band finally took the stage. They weren't good. At least until Max from Soulfly and Sepultura got on stage with them to play the classic "Roots Bloody Roots."

After this, song of the year was presented by Chuck Billy from Testament and Scott Ian from Anthrax to Five Finger Death Punch for "Lift Me Up" a song that also features Rob Halford and was debuted at last year's Golden Gods.

After this I kind of lost interest in the show as it was dragging so bad. Synster Gates and Zacky V won the Dimebag Darrell Best Guitarist award. Avenged's drummer Arin Illejay won best drummer, and most metal athelete went to Josh Barnett who is a UFC fighter.

Finally Alice Cooper presents Joan Jett with her Golden God award, but before she can play her 3 songs Alice has to hold her back as the crew were still trying to fix something on the stage. After though Joan plays her heart out on that stage giving great performances of "Bad Reputation" her newest song  and the classic "Hate Myself for Loving you" with Taylor Momsen singing along.

Then it's time for Dice as in Andrew Dice Clay who introduces a video montage of Guns N' Roses. After which actor Nicholas Cage is on stage who talks about seeing G n' R for the first time and what a big fan he is. He then hands Axel Rose the Ronnie James Dio Lifetime achievement award. After which another 10 to 15 minute delay happens because the band had to soundcheck. It's a professional awards show, why on earth is a band sound-checking for that long? After the delay G n' R plays their hour long set with original bassist Duff McKagen playing bass. Axel looked like hell but he sounded OK. Their performance was alright but it wasn't the G n' R of old that's for sure. The funniest moment came when guitarist DJ Ashba started to play the iconic "Sweet Child O' Mine" riff and his guitar was so out of tune that even the drummer was laughing about it.

Then that was it. The show ended and unlike in years past where I felt great about metal after watching, I felt meh after watching this year's Revolver Golden Gods Awards. Congrats to all the winners!

GBPD beat down

So this video gets posted of a couple what looks to be barely 21 year old guys getting arrested downtown Green Bay outside of Stir-ups. (leave the country jokes alone) We're not sure what happened before the video started but someone was getting arrested for what sounds like a fight. Did the Police officer in this video go a little hardcore? Yes, but we don't the circumstances and pay attention to the guy this officer takes down.



Here's what Green Bay Wrestling legend Adrian Lynch say's about it:

I'd say standing outside a bar in a crowd of drunken idiots swearing a police officer could be classified under "poor life decision" regardless of what town you are in.Again, every situation is different and it is difficult to judge the officers actions since we were not in his shoes. There is the possibility that circumstances exist that the video does not show. I maintain that if you find yourself outside a bar at what I am assuming is a late hour, intoxicated and acting like a drunken buffoon towards police officers, you are making a poor life decision. Even a cockroach knows to scatter when the kitchen light comes on.

Couldn't agree more. I don't know about you but if a drunk kid is yelling "f*** you" at me for ten minutes straight I'm probably taking him to the ground, it just so happens that this officer took him into the hood of a car.

Red Light Saints stuff including the infamous video

Today Travis Lee the lead singer of Green Bay based Red Light Saints took a break from their current US tour with Faster Pussycat which hits a sold out Phatheadz tonight in Green Bay to join me for a Razor 3-Way. Their album The Legend of Jasper Pipestone is available as of today exclusively on their website and on the show. The album hit's stores in two weeks but you can order it now by clicking on the artwork.

We discussed at link the now famous video of Faster Pussycat bassist Danny passing out on stage in Georgia and taking the drum riser in the mouth. RLS bass player Andy Nader filled in for him for the rest of that show. Here's the video:



Keep an eye on Red Light Saints you will not be disappointed

You fought the law and the law won

And rightfully so. This girl named Heather Smith took this video of the Appleton, WI police department supposedly beating down a bunch of teenagers outside the Appleton Public Library. What you don't see on this video is what happened before this person started taping. The best part of this is that Heather and her "friends" are trying to make it sound the like the Police are so horrible and bad people and deserve to be ridiculed. Well I'll let you look at the video and post and let's see if you can see why this person and her friends need a lesson in...well...everything!

Post by Heather Smith.

Make sure you go click on this and read some of the comments as they may be more entertaining then the actual video. I picked out a couple of favorites.

Chaz Young My Cuzco Young TY was down there to fight Carlos Lopez then I heard all this shit popped off shit I wish I was there I would off through hands with the apd fer show there were at my crib on Friday with automatic rifles searching my crib fer guns but they dumb as he'll cut they didn't find them

Heather Smith Oh my life they was fuckin with them on no BS ... they ain't had nothing better ta do wit they time

And now here's the actual story from the Appleton PD:

Multiple Officers Respond for Downtown Disturbance (posted April 16, 2014)

On April 14, 2014, at 4:20PM, the Appleton Police Department received information of a large group of people arguing or fighting in the area between the Valley Transit Center and Appleton Public Library. Several units responded on the initial dispatch.

At 4:22PM, officers were informed an additional caller was reporting 6 to 7 people fighting in the parking lot of the Appleton Public Library. Officers arriving on scene took two individuals into custody who were yelling profanities at others. Both of the individuals taken into custody began to physically resist efforts by officers, who were attempting to escort them to squad cars. A radio request for additional officers was made as a result of the crowd size, the continued disturbance and individuals resisting officers.

As officers addressed the two initial individuals and additional officers arrived, others in the crowd of people continued to yell profanities. Some of these individuals refused to comply with orders from officers to disperse or move from the roadway. Their continued behavior resulted in two other individuals being taken into custody, including one subject who attempted to punch an officer. Two of the juveniles arrested in the disturbance were intoxicated.

No officers were injured in the disturbance. One juvenile received minor injuries while resisting officers. He refused treatment.

The Appleton Police Department arrested four subjects at the disturbance. Charges of Disorderly Conduct and Resisting Arrest are being requested on each subject. Three of the individuals are juveniles. One juvenile was confined at the Brown County Juvenile Detention facility as a result of his actions.

A 17-year old from Menasha is being charged as an adult. In addition to the aforementioned charges, Brandon J. Peters (M/W, 10/25/96) is also being charged with Bail Jumping and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. 

Yeah some BS for show! (whatever) This has been a lesson in the deterioration of the human race.

Epic Razor Throwback

This picture was tweeted by Elisabeth Hasselbeck and features her husband Tim along with former Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck wearing the old school Razor T-Shirt while backstage with Bret Michaels 

 

Now I follow Elisabeth anyway because I have celiac disease, and when I was originally diagnosed her books helped me more than anything. At the same time I do not agree with her politically views of the world, but I know she means well. So to see her post a picture of her brother in-law wearing an old school Razor T-Shirt is pretty incredible. So thank you for sharing this Elisabeth it made my day.

Topless woman at McDonald's might be the funniest thing you've seen this week

This 42 year old mother of 2 goes nuts at a McDonald's in Florida, destroying the place, and eating all the ice cream, all while wearing nothing but a thong. Why? she claims it's a bi-polar thing. I claim it may have something to do with drugs and/or alcohol. Either way two employees recorded the security footage and put it online, (they have since been fired.) Either way thanks to them this video is out there for our enjoyment. (NSFW)

Artwork for new Linkin Park album

The album is called The Hunting Party and it's due out on June 17th. After admiring the art work click on it to read a very in depth interview with LP singer Mike Shinoda

My conversation with Zakk Wylde

Killswtich Engage isn't the most classic of the metal bands, but their cover of Dio's "Holy Diver" is just one of many amazing versions of Dio classics featured on the tribute album Ronnie James Dio: This is Your Life. Killswitch is a metal band that has one of the best sense of humors in metal. First watch the video for their version of Holy Diver.



Now watch this interview with them conducted in 2007, and tell me you're not laughing your ass off.

Megadeth Angry Again

Because I wanted to play 4 songs today for the Razor 3-Way and Roxanne didn't let me. This is a classic from the Last Action Hero Soundtrack

#wisconomination

First I was nominated by Travis from the band Red Light Saints. So here's his video.




And now here's mine:



YOUR TURN!

Strangely this may be the best thing you've seen this year

There is a band blowing up in Japan that is fronted by 3 teenage girls between the age of 14-16. Now before you say "great more girl pop" just wait. The band is called Babymetal, yes Babymetal. It is a mix of speed/thrash metal with dubstep and J-Pop and the best part is it works! Here are a couple of their videos.

This may be the coolest song about chocolate ever.


Follow the buzzards!


And of course the power ballad complete with burning flying V's

I see your selfie tweet and I don't care

This pic broke Twitter last night and set a record for most retweets and favorites, and all it does is prove how self righteous our culture has become in a social media world.

Oh look a bunch of celebrities in the same pic live from the Oscars....DON'T CARE!

This is awesome

There's a disorder for that

It's called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) it's considered a mood disorder in which people who have normal mental health throughout most of the year experience depressive symptoms in the winter or summer.

So for everyone who's breaking their relationships or getting in fights and just feel like killing someone for no reason we're here to help. Actually I'm really lazy the Huffington Post is here to help with 6 ways to defeat SAD.

Here's how to defeat Seasonal Affective Disorder:

• Get exposure to outdoor light. Yes, even though its cold, get outside and walk for at least 10 minutes a day. Light enters the brain through the eyes and impacts serotonin and dopamine, two neurotransmitters that play a role in mood.
• Get moving. Head to the gym and exercise. Aerobic exercise in particular stimulates endorphins and can help you to feel better. It's also a good way to burn stress and if you're exercising in a gym or part of a group it provides social interaction which also helps with depression.
• Get out of town. A weekend trip to warmer climates can work wonders. I advise all my patients who are prone to SAD to plan, if affordable, a weekend getaway to Florida or the Caribbean. It gives the person something to look forward to when they might otherwise dwell on the long cold winter and it provides a healthy dose of sunshine and warmth.
• Get closer to the window. If possible arrange your office so that your desk is closer to the outside and to sunshine. This will provide natural light which will also help to enhance your mood. If this isn't possible consider a light therapy box. This is a device that creates an artificial light mimicking natural light.
• Get social. As with other mood disorders surrounding yourself with understanding, supportive, and encouraging people can help lift your spirits. Find people whom you trust and lean on them for support and plan such activities as movies and dinners.
• Change your attitude about winter. Rather than dreading it and seeing it as a long endless season, see it as an opportunity to get involved with new activities. Perhaps skiing, sledding, or ice skating are fun activities worth trying with your friends. Embrace those things that are only available for a limited time every year.

CLASSIC ALBUM SPOTLIGHT: MASTER OF PUPPETS

I'm going to get real personal on this one. In 1987 my older brother sat me down and told me I needed to listen to Master of Puppets by Metallica. I was young but I really wanted to start playing guitar and after listening to Master of Puppets just once there wasn't a doubt in my mind that playing guitar is what I wanted to do. I wasn't even a teenager yet and I just started digesting everything heavy metal after that. This is the record and Metallica is the band that made me who I am today. As for Metallica, at the start of the touring process they opened for Ozzy, it was the last time Metallica ever went on tour as a support act. Unfortunately it was while on tour in Europe later that year in support of this album that Metallica were involved in a bus accident that killed then bassist Cliff Burton. That makes this record even more important as we hear the peak of one of metal's greatest players.

Artist: Metallica

Album: Master of Puppets

Release Date: February 24, 1986

Recommended Listening: Battery, Master of Puppets, The Thing That Should Not Be, Welcome Home (Sanitarium), Disposable Heroes, Leper Messiah, Orion, Damage Inc. (Yes I know that's the entire track listing)

(Album artwork from Elektra Records)

AllMusic.com says:

"Even though Master of Puppets didn't take as gigantic a leap forward as Ride the Lightning, it was the band's greatest achievement, hailed as a masterpiece by critics far outside heavy metal's core audience. It was also a substantial hit, reaching the Top 30 and selling three million copies despite absolutely nonexistent airplay."

Basement Sessions

At night a few times a week I tend to hang out in my basement with a drink in my hand and listen to music or play a video game or something to just unwind from the day. Every so often a friend happens to pop over, and before my wife can start yelling at me we end up doing something stupid.

Travis Lee is the lead singer of the rock band Red Light Saints and when they are not touring the country he lives down the street from me. Last night he came over with some beer and a bottle of wine and here is the result.

Why not make it a Metallica day

Metallica's James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich must of needed some strings and some drumheads because they both stopped by the Guitar Center in San Francisco. Good thing there was a camera crew on hand.

Who's stupider?

It's a very important question when it comes to a situation like this. Here's the story from WBAY TV2

Stolen SUV Crashes Into Appleton Home, Suspect Wanted

Appleton -

Appleton police are looking for whoever stole an SUV and crashed it into a house in the northwest part of the city.

Police say they received a call at 1 a.m. Sunday, February 2, about a vehicle crashing into a home in the 2500 block of N. Elinor St.

Officers say they arrived at the address to find a 2010 Nissan Murano had struck the home, but no driver or passengers were on scene.

Police made contact with the registered owner of the vehicle who was not aware that the SUV was missing.

Officers say the vehicle was left unlocked with keys inside the night before the crash.

So let me get this straight. A person leaves the keys in their car outside, then some mischief causing individual takes said car and crashes it into a house. This person than runs away.

So who's stupider the person who leaves the keys in the vehicle and doesn't even notice that it's missing, or the person who takes the vehicle and can't even make a clean getaway before crashing it into a house?

You decide, I'll be over here with my hand on forehead.

Naked Subway riders!

Ok they're not naked but they are pantsless. For whatever reason this past Sunday was No Pants Subway day in over 60 cities.

My most anticipated albums of 2014

Tool: Whether these guys can actually get it all together and record and release a new album or not, it feels like it’s closer to happening this year than in the past. This band, no matter what, always takes us on a journey.  Listening to a Tool album, just like going to a Tool concert, is an experience. It’s not something you can just pop on and listen to a couple of songs, it’s something you have to dedicate yourself to, and very few bands can pull that off the way Tool does. At this point they may be more progressive rock than metal, but I’ve been in love with this band since the Opiate EP and always enjoy pulling out any of their albums.

Slipknot: Only because I’ve been a fan of this band, and everyone I’ve met from Slipknot has been among of the nicest and down to earth people I’ve ever met in the metal world. Not having Joey Jordison is a blow to the gut though, so I’m now a little skeptical.

Anthrax: Worship Music was incredibly underrated, and now that this lineup has been going for a few years and especially with Joey leading the vocal way, I can’t wait to see what that continuity helps this band create.

Some others: Slayer (not having Jeff scares me a bit but it’s Slayer!), Judas Priest and Black Label Society.

How in the hell?

It's the 24 hottest NFL wifes. We know how they got these trophy wifes that includes former Playboy Playmates, women athletes, and even a Hooters Girl. These NFL stars make a lot of money, like millions a year, but wait that's not how? You mean this was really Eli's wife in college before he was a Superbowl winning quarterback? But he's like the ugliest person on the planet. Oh that's right his brother was already an elite quarterback and so was his Father and they were loaded. Ok I get it.

The rest of the 23 can be seen here from The Fumble.
