[Larry] Bird once told Indiana’s Chuck Person before a game that he had a Christmas present for him. During the game, he made a three in front of the Pacers bench, turned to Person, and said, “Merry fucking Christmas.”

Ross & I on the Party Bus
In St. Louis... Go America
Meetin up with the gang...
Pictures from Oct. 25, 2009 St. Louis Colts Road Trip… Party bus to St. Louis to watch the Horse dominate… again. Overall, St. Louis has a pretty acceptable set up down by the dome with roads blocked off for tailgaters and local bars on every corner… too bad their team is having an aweful decade.
Good times. GO HORSE!!!

Jeff Fisher wears Peyton Manning jersey to a charity event.
Note to the non sports fans out there: Jeff Fisher is an immensely respected coach, he was introducing Tony Dungy, and Peyton Manning is a GOD in Tennessee in (and in my head). Everything about this is gold.

Picking up my date
Very proud of our pumpkin
Tonight was “Special Person Night” at my niece Emma’s school. Naturally Uncle Mapp was her only choice for such an event. The over the top adorability of Emma showing me off to her teachers and classmates more than made up for how our pumpkin was rotten and decomposed on the inside (thus why there are no pictures of the carving process).

30 for 30 - The Band That Would Die (Official Trailer)
Airs Tonight at 8PM on ESPN
New 30 for 30 tonight: The Band That Wouldn’t Die. Directed by Academy Award Winner Barry Levinson. The complex story of troubled owner Robert Irsay’s decision to move the Colts from Baltimore to Indianapolis. Told from the perspective of members of the Baltimore Colts Marching Band, who, despite losing their team, continued to “march” for more than a decade after that fateful bolt in the night. To say the least, it was despicable what the late Mr. Irsay did to his family, city, and fan base. But this sordid flurry of events lead to the sports love of my life being placed in Indianapolis shorty before my birth there. Few franchises have perfect pasts. But I can proudly say that the Indianapolis Colts are, without question, one of the most stable, honorable, and successful franchises in all of sports now. Not to mention 5-0.

Free Mercury playoff tickets for tonight. @saynomorgan and I are PUMPED!!!1
What a joke. For game one of the league finals, Pheonix General Manager Steve Kerr offered 7000 free tickets open to the public…. Attendance was 7200. Get your passports ready ladies, and pray for a Russian economic recovery. Because the WNBA in America is DEAD.

—JON STEWART, The Daily Show (via inothernews) (via soupsoup) (via asprettyasasong)For years, the Democrats in our federal government lived in legislative exile - a power diaspora. But all that changed in 2006, when the Democrats regained control of this nation’s House of Representatives. And its Senate! And with that control, they still failed to get timelines for Iraq War withdrawals, government-negotiated prescription drug prices, any kind of meaningful environmental legislation - actually, [they] really failed to get anything. Basically, the Democrats seem like the kind of people who switch to Geico - and lose money.

About
The Matt Irick Blog
I am a self loathing Tumblr. My main uses for this blog are "following" my real life friends (minority), and looking at pictures of internet savvy girls I find attractive (vast majority).
Every once in a while I post things as well...
My hobbies include taking stock options, being thanked after sex, and having my asshole friends write quotes saying what my hobbies include.
