Just take it for what it is.

The former first round pick of the Kansas City Chiefs simply doesn’t know how to spell “until,” misspelling it not once but twice.

Brett Anderson of the Oakland Athletics agrees with me.

What I don’t know: the meaning of his tweet.

Perhaps “bunnies” refer to girls, and McDonald is expressing his confusion at how an “ugly” guy like Iguodala could have an attractive girlfriend? I don’t know.

I mean Iguodala may not be super attractive to the opposite sex, but it’s not like he’s Pau Gasol…

Should a guy who looks like that get a girl who looks like this?

Gonna start calling people “jive turkeys.” That bein said…..Goodnight Jive Turkeys

— quice cole (@quice) May 1, 2012

For those who have never heard of a “jive turkey,” here’s a definition, courtesy of Urban Dictionary: “One who speaks as though they know what they’re talking about…though they do not; a bullshitter.”

Enjoy, you jive turkeys!

Dickey’s Awkward Photo With Peyton Manning and Todd Helton http://athletessay.com/r-a-dickeys-awkward-photo-with-peyton-manning-and-todd-helton/ http://athletessay.com/r-a-dickeys-awkward-photo-with-peyton-manning-and-todd-helton/#comments Sun, 29 Apr 2012 23:42:16 +0000 Ari http://athletessay.com/?p=558 The fact that Peyton Manning and Todd Helton were University of Tennessee quarterbacks at the same time is old, well-known news. That’s why you shouldn’t be surprised to see them pose for this picture at Coors Field this afternoon.

Peyton Manning

But what the hell is R.A. Dickey doing there? He’s not even looking at the camera and seems like the dude that no one wanted in the picture.

Well, it turns out that Dickey was at UT at the same time as Peyton, though he didn’t play football there. Either way, it’s a funny picture, especially if you take it at face value and think Dickey doesn’t belong there.

Has anyone ever heard of whale ears? Do whales even have ears?

And can someone tell me what this means?
