This Rick has been marked as spam

I was perusing my Spam mail folder in Gmail the other day, and noticed an email from "Rick." Imagine my joy; an email from Rick himself! Rick was trying sell me "HIGH-END-DESIGNER-JEWELRY-WATCH-AND-HANDBAG-REPLICA-WINTER-SALE" at a website that I'll not even bother to print here. Why share my good deals with all of you lazy bums?


It got me thinking. What other Ricks have been trying to contact me, only to be thwarted by my damn Spam filter?

Just a few emails down, Rica Feldpausch let me know that she could help me have much more girls. Things were really looking up.


My hopes were through the roof at this point.  But, alas, I could find no more Ricks.  Not even in my Yahoo! spam folder, and I pretty much only use that email for things online I expect to generate spam.

While my dreams were dashed, yours might not be.  I ask you, readers (both of you...), check your spam folders!  Join me in this adventure! What surprises await?!

Derrick Engel has no ACL

Per this report, University of Minnesota leading WR Derrick Engel has a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season.
Engel leads teh(sic) Gophers with 25 catches for 405 yards and five touchdowns this season. No other receiver on the Gophers has more than eight catches this season, and none have caught a touchdown.
Well, good thing it's November, and they were unlikely to try to throw much anyway.  Poor Goophers.

Rick Heller

I know it's not exactly baseball season anymore, but I wanted to get this post out there.
Rick Heller is the new head baseball coach at the University of Iowa as of July 2013.  He is the 20th head coach in program history.   An Iowa native, Rick Has been the head coach at three previous schools (Upper Iowa, Northern Iowa, Indiana State) and is looking to revitalize an Iowa program that has languished in the bottom of the Big Ten standings more often than not in recent years.

Here is a video with some snippets from his introductory press conference.  He seems excited to get started, and here's to hoping that he can get the job done.



Rick also sat down with College Baseball Insider recently to talk a little about his philosophy and the Iowa job

The Rickest Radio Show Ever!

I'm just going to leave this here.
Ric Savage and Erik Turner, hosting their radio show. With guest Rickey Medlocke.
It's beautiful.


I'm actually considering tuning in at 8 pm Central on Thursday at http://wrgc.com/wp-content/uploads/livestreaming.html.  

Ric Savage's "Jock Bio" indicates he has a show called "Ric Savage’s Rock & Roll Chokeslam Radio Show."  I have no idea when or if it is on (doesn't show up on the on-air schedule on the website), but I'm intrigued. Very.  

FYI, If you're wondering just what type of radio station would do this:
The WRGC Radio format is considered a variety mix. About 30% of the music is soft rock from the fifties through the eighties. The remaining 70 percent includes a mix of crossover country and adult contemporary but not the hot AC format.


The WRGC Radio slogan is, “From the Heart of Fraser Fir Country this is 540 A-M WRGC Radio”

Rick Show Villains: Richie Incognito

There's been a lot of news in the last week or so about Miami Dolphins player Richie Incognito.  None if it has been good.

To recap:
  Richie Incognito played college football at the University of Nebraska (which is almost enough by itself to be villainous).   He was a highly regarded recruit, and a good player.
 - In the spring of 2003, he was suspended from the team and later reinstated prior to the 2003 season
 - In Feb. 2004, he was involved in a fight that resulted in multiple assault charges.   He was all set to again play the upcoming football season, but was suspended on Sept 1, and subsequently ended his college career at Nebraska.
 - He transferred to the University of Oregon, hoping to find a new team.  He lasted 1 week before being dismissed
  -Once in the NFL:
  On December 13, during the first half of a 47-7 loss to the Tennessee Titans, Incognito drew two 15-yard penalties for headbutting Titans players. Head coach Steve Spagnuolo benched him for the second half, and the two got into a heated confrontation on the sidelines. It was the second time Incognito had been benched for losing his composure; he'd been pulled from the season opener against Seattle for two personal fouls. However, the Titans incident was the last straw; the Rams waived him two days after the game
 - In 2012, Richie was vote 2nd most dirty player in the NFL, only losing out to fellow Nebraska alum, Ndamukong Suh.  In 2009, he was voted the dirtiest player.
- Multiple NFL players have reported that Incognito said or did unacceptable things to them, including Warren Sapp, saying Richie called him the "n-word"
- Now, in Nov 2013, Incognito has been suspended from his current team, the Miami Dolphins amid reports of harassment and bullying of teammate Jonathan Martin.  They include the following voicemail:
"Hey, wassup, you half n----- piece of s---. I saw you on Twitter, you been training 10 weeks. [I want to] s--- in your f---ing mouth. [I'm going to] slap your f---ing mouth. [I'm going to] slap your real mother across the face [laughter]. F--- you, you're still a rookie. I'll kill you.
 - Oh, and apparently he spends time drunk and in a topless(?!) sports bar

To summarize:  Richie Incognito appears to be, by many accounts, a grade-a asshole and douchebag.

[Update:]
Over the weekend, Incognito spoke out, including the following:
"When words are put in a context, I understand why a lot of eyebrows get raised," Incognito told Fox Sports during the interview, which aired Sunday. "But people don't know how Jon and I communicate to one another. For instance, a week before this went down, Jonathan Martin texted me on my phone, 'I will murder your whole f------ family.'
"Now, do I think Jonathan Martin was going to murder my family? Not one bit. He texted me that. I didn't think he was going to kill my family. I knew that was coming from a brother. I knew it was coming from a friend. I knew it was coming from a teammate."
I'm glad that my friends and I don't text each other that we'll kill each other's families.  That seems odd.

The Big Rick Show

If you'll recall, we recently saw that Rick Fox could dance well enough to be on TV.
Some Ricks dance without needing to be on TV
