Adrian Peterson saving 1 Million by NOT changing jersey #. Posted February 3, 2012 by Burnzy

ADRIAN PETERSON DECIDED TO SAVE HIMSELF A MILLION DOLLARS AND NOT CHANGE HIS JERSEY NUMBER

Adrian Peterson was thinking about changing his uniform number for next season… until he found out how much it would cost.

He thought about changing from the No. 28 to No. 23 but he said it would cost him $1 million to make the switch.

Why?

To change his number, Adrian would have to buy all of the jerseys that have been produced with the number 28.

He tweeted: "I see maybe ten thousand dollars of my total jersey sales! Why in the hell do I have to pay a million dollars to change my number?"

A million bucks probably wouldn't have hurt his bank account… Peterson signed a seven-year, $100 million deal before this season with $40 million coming in the first three years.

PATS TAKE 'HALFTIME' PRACTICE BREAK Posted February 3, 2012 by Burnzy

SUPER BOWL FIRST?
SUPER BOWL FIRST? PATS TAKE 'HALFTIME' PRACTICE BREAK

The New England Patriots simulated game conditions for Sunday by taking a 31-minute "halftime" break during Wednesday's practice.

After practicing for an hour, the Pats went inside the locker room for 30 minutes as they will during halftime of Super Bowl XLVI before returning to the field to finish out the second half of the practice.

Durin 'halftime of the practice', coach Bill Belichick spoke to them as if it were halftime of the Super Bowl.

It is believed to be the first time in Super Bowl history that a team simulated the extended halftime break.

In Minnesota it's illegal to drive the Zamboni drunk. Who knew? Posted February 2, 2012 by Burnzy

DRUNK DRIVING.... ON A ZAMBONI

A Minnesota man was busted driving drunk….on a Zamboni. 

He was clearing the ice for a pee wee hockey practice. 

The 34-year-old part time driver showed up hammered and hopped on the Zamboni to resurface the ice.

He spent 25 minutes doing what should have been a 10 minute job, and he was weaving all over the place. He ended up ramming the machine into the boards pretty hard.

Parents knew something was up and told a coach, who called the cops. When they got there he had managed to get it back in the garage, but he was slurring, reeked of alcohol, and failed field sobriety tests.

He was arrested and blood was drawn at the station. Those results aren't in yet.

The setlist was a mix of VH classics and some tracks from the new album, "A Different Kind Of Truth," in stores next Tuesday, February 7. Check out a review of the show here and check out photos here.

GUYS: WHAT WOULD YOU DO AS A WOMAN FOR ONE DAY? Posted February 1, 2012 by Burnzy

"What would you do if you had one day to be and think like a woman?" 


-- Straight Married Guy (Ben): The very first thing I'd do is make out with my wife — so hot when she kisses other women. And I'd prolly focus in on the physical experience of being a woman. In other words, lots of sex — lots of it with my wife and lots of it with whatever guys I could find.

-- Straight Single Guy (Max): Obviously, the first thing I would do is try to have an orgasm. Or rather, orgasms. As many as possible. As a man, I've always been a bit jealous and very curious about the possibilities of multiple orgasms, and given this opportunity, I would go for it. After that? I'd probably go out and try to get some nice young man to buy me a whole lot of drinks, a fancy dinner, and maybe torture him a bit before I went home, alone, and pursued even more orgasms.  

-- Gay Single Guy (Daniel): I have often wondered what the difference is between straight women and gay men when it comes to how they think and feel about men in general. My suspicion is that it's probably very similar. Even more interesting to me is how women approach sex with a man. Having enough male privilege, I could say that I'd fearlessly go after the kind of straight man I could never have as a gay man. But since I've never really experienced a fear of sexual violence towards me, that aspect would surely add another layer of complication/fascination to pursuing said straight man. Oh, and while I was at it, I'd definitely masturbate a lot so I could experience the most ecstatic multiple orgasm ever.

10 most hated jobs. Perfect for your Monday. Posted January 30, 2012 by Burnzy

THE 10 MOST HATED JOBS IN AMERICA... (EXCLUDING YOURS)

According a survey of hundreds of thousands of employees in 2011, CareerBliss determined the 10 most hated jobs. They found that limited growth opportunities and lack of reward drove the misery index up more than anything else.

Here are the top 10:

10. Marketing Manager
A marketing manager is responsible for overseeing advertising and promotion. A lack of direction is the primary reason for job dissatisfaction.

9. CNC Machinist
CNC machinists operate computer control machines for a lathe or a mill. Now that most of the physical work has been replaced by a machine, there's not a lot to do but push buttons.

8. Technical Support Analyst
Technical support analysts help people with their computer issues. This typically amounts to calmly communicating technical advice to panicked individuals, often over the phone, and then going on site to find the client simply hadn't turned the printer on.

7. Law Clerk
Clerkships are among the most highly sought-after positions in the legal profession. A law clerk assists judges as they write opinions. The hours are long and grueling and the median salary is $39,780 a year.

6. Electronics Technician
Electronics technicians maintain, troubleshoot and collect monthly measurement data for electronic systems. They work on-site and off-site, have constant contact with clients, and must be able to quickly solve complex technical problems under intense pressure.

5. Technical Specialist
If a company wants to design a project, the technical specialist evaluates it to see what's possible and what isn't. The job is a lead position that requires intimate knowledge of engineering.

4. Senior Web Developer
Senior web developers design, maintain, and develop applications for the Internet. Senior developers reported a high degree of unhappiness in their jobs because their employers are unable to communicate coherently, and lack an understanding of the technology.

3. Product Manager
"Product manager" takes on many meanings, depending on the company and its sector. One person said it's "very hard to grow up the ranks", another said "the work is boring and there's a lot of clerical work still at my level."

2. Director of Sales and Marketing
A director of sales and marketing plans implements efforts to promote companies and generate business. Marketing directors reported a lack of direction and an absence of room for growth as the main sources of their ire.

1. Director of Information Technology
The most hated job was that of information technology director. With information technology such a prevalent part of everyday business, an IT director can hold almost as much sway over the fate of some companies as a chief executive. One simple, five-word response summed up the dissatisfaction very well: "Nepotism, cronyism, disrespect for workers."
