Top 3 Reasons I Can’t Do This Shit Anymore

1) Football Season
2) Real Life
3) No Ideas

#3 I Have No Ideas

As time has gone by I have grown to realize just how hard it is to come up with an entertaining idea and materialize it on a daily basis. For example, today I was going to do the Top 3 Non-Chocolate Candies but then I thought to myself, “This is retarded”. In this area, I admit defeat.

#2 Real Life Has Gotten In The Way

It’s hard enough trying to commit to things like relationships, work, errands, and learning a new language, so it’s been very difficult for me to commit to another daily obligation. But really, I just need more time for:

#1 Football Season

Hey, being a fantasy football junkie is hard work.. Don’t kid yourself. On top of needing to allot at least 12-15 hours of game-viewing time per week for pure enjoyment, the constant news updates that are required to dominate your league could easily account for a 2nd full-time job. Don’t judge me! I’m a sick man!

But thanks for all the support and input, everyone. I’m not saying The Daily Top 3 is dead forever, but I’ll tell you what: it’s dead for now.

Peace.

Top 3 Team Sports to Watch

1) Football
2) Basketball
3) Soccer

#3 Soccer

The greatest thing about Soccer isn’t just the ultra-competitive (see: riotous) nature of the game and its fans, but because you know you’re going to get at least 45 minutes of continuous game coverage in each half.. You know the game is going to be over in about 2 hours (obviously, there are exceptions) and that’s that. Actually, Hockey could easily be #3 here too.. People who still think Hockey is a lost cause need to give it a another shot because it’s a whole new game with HD Television. Anyway, listen: the point is Baseball just sucks.

#2 Basketball

I grew up on this game and it is simple to say that there is no better spectator sport in the United States than Pro Basketball, especially during the NBA Playoffs. You just can’t help but feel giddy walking through the entrance to your section and seeing the court glowing below you, Beer and Dog in-hand.. If the NBA legitimately tried to do something to shed its Thug Image and Seedy Officiating, Basketball could be #1 on this list.

#1 Football

Other than the flagrant amount of commercials that you are subjected to on a weekly basis when you closely follow the NFL, nothing beats a Sunday of sitting on your ass, eating Barbecue, drinking a ton of Beer, and watching some seriously intense Football. This, of course, is almost always followed by a period of extreme self-loathing when you feel completely empty inside because you spent the whole day having a heart attack over your Fantasy Stat Tracker than actually living your life. But you know what? I’ll take it!

Top 3 WWF Wrestlers of Generation Y

1) Ultimate Warrior
2) Andre The Giant
3) Razor Ramon

#3 Razor Ramon

He wasn’t exactly the premiere entertainer of his time, but Razor Ramon needs to be recognized for the sheer ridiculousness of his on-screen personality. Alright, his Ladder Match with HBK at Wrestlemania X was one of the greatest events of all-time, but I choose remember him for videos like this. Seriously; take a look at that. Like every other 6 year-old on the planet, I’m pretty sure I thought that was how all Hispanics acted back then.

#2 Andre The Giant

Alright, this pick doesn’t really have much to do with wrestling either because Andre The Giant’s prime was taking shape around the time I was born.. I just admire the guy because of his unbelievable stature: 7′, 520 Lbs., and consequentially, his unmatched ability to drink. According to an excerpt on his Wikipedia Page, “AndrĂ© drank 127 beers and passed out in a hotel bar in Reading, Pennsylvania, and because the staff could not move him, they had to leave him there until he regained consciousness.” Oh my god.

#1 Ultimate Warrior

This one definitely has a little something to do with wrestling because Ultimate Warrior was an absolute Bad Ass back in the day when he was one of the only formidable opponents to Hulk Hogan (who remains off of this list because of the total lack of respect I have for him after Hogan Knows Best.) For me, their Main Event Match at Wrestlemania VI for both the Heavyweight and Intercontinental Belts will live on forever as the greatest wrestling match in WWF History.. I even dressed up as him for Halloween once; dyed my underwear green and everything. True story. Love the guy.

Top 3 Months of the Year

1) May
2) November
3) December
Posted by Blob
@ Blob

When you spend the majority of your life in the Northeastern United States, the changing of the seasons becomes something that is frequently taken for granted.. Of course, it makes for some very uncomfortable stretches (ask anyone in Boston what they think about the weather in New England), but not without bringing along some special times that milder climates tend to miss out on.

May always seems to yield the first amazing weather of the year after every chronically-long New England winter. I know that there are a lot of places around the world that consistently see sunny, 70-degree weather, but it is clearly a momentous event for Northeasterners after months of being miserable indoors. Also, Memorial Day is a total win for humanity. I really like May.

Much like Spring weather, Fall is a special time for me because it is a great way to come down from some seriously stuffy summers in this part of the country. In November, the colorful foliage returns, the NFL season starts to really take shape, and its coming signals that our best National Holiday will soon be upon us: Thanksgiving. Amen.

I love December because it generally includes our first significant snowfall of the year.. And regardless of who you are or whether you care to admit it, everybody loves the first one. December also occurs long before we all become jaded about the weather later on, so it is to be cherished! And so should 4 days of football per week.

Top 3 Worst Ways to Bite The Big One

1) Buried Alive
2) Waterboarding
3) Burned Alive
Posted by Blob
@ Blob

While I honestly don’t think there are 2 people in the entire world that would have the same list for this topic, everybody can agree that there are some really gritty ways to go out.. So, let’s get morbid!!

Being trapped in a confined space before suffocating or starving is the most horrifying thing I could ever imagine. I wouldn’t even consider myself claustrophobic, but being in a situation where I’d have to deal with this fateful inevitability would be too much to bear. I would freak. But come on, look at that sweet Corgi! He’s so cute!!

For those of you unfamiliar with what the true definition of Waterboarding is, it can legally be described as: a form of torture that consists of immobilizing a person on their back with the head inclined downward and pouring water over the face and into the breathing passages so as to simulate drowning. I don’t know who invented this, but Waterboarding is clearly a twisted idea. Sounds pretty torturous to me!

Being burned alive is probably the most likely candidate to appear on everybody’s Top 3 Worst Ways…, and rightfully so. Seriously: do yourself a favor and never Google Image “Burned Alive” without the content filter.. Top 3 Worst Mistakes of my life.
