Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Josh "Tank" Watts

That’s really just exceptionally cruel.

Toothpick.

Hall.

Including the astonishing fact that the Panthers still have a fan.

Those are his girlfriends. He just asks to have his picture taken with them and then pulls them in close.

Saying “fuck you” to other posters is against the board rules. Please refrain from doing this in the future.

You leave the Marines out of this.

I had an English teacher in high school, who, when students would break certain a certain rule about eating or drinking during class, he would yell in an authoritative tone of voice, “NO FOOD OR DRINK IN THE BUILDING!” and salute the “camera” in the ceiling on the classroom (really some sort of smoke detector I think), then just move on, not doing anything at all.

It was obvious to me that he didn’t care at all for the rule that he was being asked to enforce, so he enforced it in a silly way.

Miller kind of reminds me of that with the “fuck you” rule and it brings me such happiness.

Way to dry snitch on Miller , drew. Nice job.

They didn’t give him the fanciest jackboots for nothing you know.

<checks urbandictionary.com>

Ah. Dry snitch.

Interesting that the story is that they kicked the Marine out of the place and now they’re trying to backtrack it and claim they asked Tank to leave but the Marine left and they were just sick about it.

Their Yelp rating has dropped 2 stars according to the stories, probably “tanking” worse by now. This is really going to cost them business.

We are.

Read the entire message board, and then read the entire Internet.

Go on, we’ll wait.

Now write an essay comparing the two.

What, too much work? Do you see where this is going?

He might not have a problem with the rule itself; just with the fact that he had to enforce it in favor of someone who really merited having the “offense” committed against him.

I scrolled through at least 5 pages of search results and did not see a single link to an actual news article. A lot of foul-mouthed rantings/bloggings/twitterings about Mr. Watts’s alleged boorish behavior, but nothing I’d consider impartial, professional reporting.

Would the OP take pity on this pearl-clutching, faint-hearted, greying-hair, almost-senior citizen and post a fucking link to a goddamned pro-sports news site like NFL.com, ESPN.com, or FoxSports.com so I can see what this stupid shit-storm-in-a-tea cup is about?

Thank you and much obliged, sonny.

Nevermind. I figured out why I was confused. I’ve been reading myself blind with coverage of Hurrican Sandy and for some reason–no mood-altering substances were involved, so I don’t have that excuse–I read “J(osh) Watts” and “Cowboys” and confused those with “JJ Watts” and “Houston Texans”. D’oh! Pray continue with the RO.

A tip o’ the Stetson to Darth Panda and Little Nemo for the link/info.

Link motherfucker!

:slight_smile:

First rule of breaking up a bar fight is separate the two fighters - kick them both out and you just get a fight in your parking lot. According to the article, Carnes was already leaving the restaurant when the argument occurred. Apparently Watts was still eating. So the easiest way to separate them was to ask Carnes to leave.

This vaguely reminds me of a scene from Corner Gas, a comedy set in a small town in Saskatchewan. Davis Quinton had started coaching kids’ soccer, which he insisted on calling “football”.

DAVIS QUINTON: Hey, Brent, who’s your favourite football team?

BRENT LEROY: The Riders. Duh.

DAVIS: No, not Canadian football.

BRENT: Oh, then the Minnesota Vikings.

DAVIS: No, out on the pitch!

BRENT: What do you mean? Soccer?

DAVIS: Yeah.

BRENT: Well, then, it’s a tie between the Manchester I-Don’t-Give-a-Craps and the London Not-a-Real-Sports.

Wassa matter? Too lazy to Google? Didn’t the OP set the proper ‘Google it yourself, bitch!’ tone for this thread?

Ok, bitch! Here:

OK, so near as I can tell, some cowboy got his legs shot off by a marine in a panther tank so they kicked the marine out of a restaurant and he started to yelp, right?

Just pat the bastard on the head, and say “nice pitting”, then mutter ‘idiot’, as you walk away. Like I did when my cat went senile…

fnord

Kinda like the OP.
