Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

Opening Day Checklist

  1. Set DVR to record Padres game on Channel 4.  Even if you are able to escape from work to watch some of the game you're going to want to review the game later and relive the experience.  This will also be Dick Enberg's first time calling a Padres game so you are going to want to pour over his every word.
  2. Wear Padres gear to work to let everybody know that you are a super fan.  A good portion of your co-workers probably have no idea that baseball season is starting.  Your job is to remind them.
  3. Find a way to get out of work before the 2 o'clock start time.  This is going to be tricky because at this point you've already made such a big deal about the Padres to your co-workers that they are going to be watching you like a hawk when 2 o'clock comes around.  You need to start fake coughing and complaining of a headache right now.  If your co-workers catch on you are going to need to do something really drastic at 1pm... poop your pants.  You can't lose.  No co-worker will stop you from leaving now and even if they find out you pooped yourself on purpose they will only respect your fanhood that much more.
  4. Put a trash bag on your car seat and drive to Petco Park immediately.  There will be free parking.
  5. Waddle to the Padres Store, buy Padres sweat pants and change into them in the women's restroom.  Try to flush dirty underwears and pants down the toilet. Find a spot on the grass, relax and watch the game.  You deserve it.

Opening Day Checklist

DVR set to record, Check.
Boxers, Check.
Pooping yourself while wearing boxers is a bad idea.
Why the women’s restroom?

Step 2

Definitely wearing my Padres shirt today. No one has said anything to me all morning.

"i kinda feel like nevin and klesko were some fling we (the padres) had in the past and now realize were a bad idea and are embarrassed about."

You will very likely poop in your pants anyway.

I have a furlough day today....

The economy’s way of letting me watch the game.

Oh internet, what a wicked web you weave.

I know how you feel...

except I’m unemployed.

I just want to get paid to draw naked girls, is that so much to ask?

pooping my pants isn't going to work

I’ve overused that little ruse and everyone at work sees right through it.

I was dating this girl from Canada... after about a month I found out she didn't know what sport the Padres played, she thought "padre" was spelled p-o-d-r-a-y and she thought it was some kind of a fish. Dealbreaker.

A Padres poem I just wrote

My glove is oiled, my pants are soiled,
nothing stands in my way.
But I’ve overused that little ruse,
And I’ll miss opening day.

Better:

To see the game, I have no shame,
My underpants are soiled.
But I’ve overused that little ruse,
And all my plans are foiled.

You need to get

Have not followed any of the steps above.

Will just have to listen to the first two hours of the game from work . . .

I called my Boss

to tell him I was taking the rest of the day off to watch the Padres game. He told me he has been pregamming since Sunday.
