So if your counting at home that is two professional athletes that have come through Casa de Yukon Fox senior year of college. I unfortunately had to stand my ground and kick Hasheem Thabeet out of my apartment during an unpredictable Spring Weekend and a few weeks before that we hosted the then future Gator, Aaron Hernandez for a few games of beer pong. My roomate requested him giving up Florida for the football mecca that is UConn if he beat him. We are still waiting for him to suit up in the blue and white. Dan you are about to get your wish, just this blue and white has some red mixed in there. That was just life as a college student for Yukon Fox, mixing it up with NBA and NFL quality athletes. Yawn.

P.S. I will not accept responsibility for Thabeets lack of production or Hernandez’s munchies.

The New York Times – BERLIN — Despite facing long odds against a victory, Poland’s former prime minister on Monday declared his candidacy for president in a special election to replace his twin brother, who was killed in a plane crash earlier this month.

Well isn’t that convenient. It looks like in Poland they can just have the leader of their country die in a horrific plane crash and not even skip a beat. And he was already Prime Minister so there won’t be any awkwardness of meeting everyone for the first time and while your at it why doesn’t everyone just call him Lech Kaczynski.

Via Kimberlily.com - Kimberlily wants to take the stress out of the way you dress. If you desire to wear the lowest of the low rise jeans, have no fear we’ve got you covered when you’re wearing a Backtacular gluteal cleft patch by Kimberlily.

I’m going to come out with a product that you can just dip your self in rhinestones. That is what we are headed towards here. First we got J. Love starting a craze by blinging out her vajay. Now just in case you want to get a little freaky in the bed room and put your face in the pillow your guy will be able to maintain the same experience of fucking a disco ball. Well to each his own I guess.

Patriots.com - The New England Patriots will team with the National Football League (NFL) to give a $1 million unrestricted gift to the Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy (CSTE) at Boston University School of Medicine to support the Center’s research. 

So if you didn’t know already Yukon Fox accepted the groveling of Boston University to attend there institution in the fall. I will be packing my bags from Loisaida and moving to Beantown. I’d like to think I got accepted based on my own merits but its good to know my friends over in Foxboro want me in Boston so bad for the ’10 season that they made a small donation to help get me there. Thank you Mr. Kraft and Mr. Goodell.

P.S. I do feel like I’m downgrading a little bit going from a Husky to a Terrier.

Wow I hope Ray gets his shot back. Missing 2 threes? Ray, how about you stop running with your mom in the Boston Marathon and start thinking about the playoffs.

P.S. When did Cheryl Miller shave her head and start claiming she was the career three point leader in the NBA

With the NFL Draft upon us on Thursday the buzz on twitter is gaining more and more steam. So before you tune in to primetime on Thursday go to twitter first to see if you can get a glimpse of what your team may do in the draft.

@NFL - Obviously the first stop on your research binge should be the league itself. They will keep you up on official news league wide not only on mock drafts and prospects but also story lines leading up to and inevitably effecting the draft.

@MelKiperESPN - The question is would Mel Kiper exist if there was no NFL Draft.

Now I am just lazy. Here is a list of official team twitter accounts and then prospects via the New York Times blog, The Fifth Down.

The Gaurdian -  A recipe for tagliatelle with sardines and prosciutto has proved a little too spicy for Penguin Australia, after a misprint suggesting that the dish required “salt and freshly ground black people” has left the publisher reaching for the pulping machine, rather than the pepper grinder. It’s a one-word slip that only came to light after a member of the public got in touch, and which has sent all 7,000 copies of The Pasta Bible at Penguin’s warehouse to be destroyed, an exercise which head of publishing, Robert Sessions, told the Sydney Morning Herald would cost $ 20,000.

That is just disgusting. I mean what kind of cookbook is this. Sardines in tagliatelle? Thats just gross. I’ll stick to the recipe for Cream of Sum Yung Gui.

We’re getting all buck wild over here at BPS with these toss ups.  So who said it best, Jim Nantz saying that Tiger managed a 69 through all this or Chan Ho Park talking about his diarrhea.

We are going to try to start a new feature here at Bulletproof Sombreros.  Occasionally, probably mostly on Tuesdays since its catchy. we are going to throw out some Toss Up questions.  So what better way to start off Toss Up Tuesdays (see catchy) than with the question of which of these sandwiches is a worse idea.

In the first corner you got the Pacific Shrimp Taco from Taco Bell (eww).  According to Taco Bell’s website, the Pacific Shrimp Taco is “a warm, soft flour tortilla filled with six succulent shrimp marinated in a mix of spices, then topped with crisp shredded lettuce, Fiesta Salsa, and Avocado Ranch Sauce.”  Even if Taco Bell described this taco by adding at the end that it extends your penis 8 inches, I still wouldn’t eat it.  Something just doesnt sound right about going into a Taco Bell and ordering the catch of the day.

In the other corner you got KFC’s newest bacon, egg and cheese sandwich minus the egg and I guess they forgot the bread too.  KFC’s Double Down sandwich, which made its debut yesterday, is  two pieces of bacon, two melted slices of Monterey Jack and pepper jack cheese and Colonel’s Sauce slapped in between two pieces of chicken filets. This product is so meaty, there’s no room for a bun supposedly.  So let me get this straight….KFC is trying to sell us a sandwich but they know the American way and instead of bread they slapp it in between two pieces of chicken.  This sandwich comes whopping in at 540 calories, 32 g of fat, and 1380 mg of sodium.  Early critics dared to tackle this monster.  Some of the early reviews have been “The “Double Down,” however, arrives at a new low: a greasy entree dish of chicken with bacon and cheese on it, slathered in sauce, that the company asks customers to eat with their hands. The chicken is watery within its soft casing of “crust,” the cheese familiar to anyone who has eaten food prepared by the United States government, the bacon chemical in its smokiness, the mayonnaise sauce tangy, salty, and sweet, all at once.” (Source: NYTimes).  Sounds like something I got to try.  What do you think?
