Olympic Fun Facts & Thursday Ramblings

International competition. Bobsled. Curling. America topples Canada on ice. Alpine skiing. Biathalon. Nordic combined. What’s decent about the Olympics? Everything, or course. From the ladies who like to watch every kind of figure skating to the guys wondering how all these hot chicks got involved in curling, the Olympics offers something for everyone — and [...]

Decent Site of the Week: Texts From Last Night

Decent chance you’ve heard of this site before, but we figured, “Hey, what the fuck, ya know?” Texts From Last Night is a collection of anonymous user submitted texts (with the area code included) that reveal funny situations and musings. Texts From Last Night is basically exploiting “the tendency to press ‘send’ more easily as [...]

Decent Community Monologue

Coroner releases the details about Michael Jackson’s death concluding that Jackson died from “acute propofol intoxication”.  The autopsy also found on Jackson’s palm, clearly written in black ink:  “Fix nose”  “Moonwalk” (crossed out), “Buy new lips”. An Iranian court has sentenced one person to death and eight others to  prison for their parts in anti-government [...]

Dennis Eckersley is Our Decent Bastard of the Week

If Decent Community were assembling a ball club, the first thing we’d do is look for the most chill player available. Then we’d probably scout their mustache, and then probably their hairstyle. Finally, we’d look into their actual abilities on the field. Based on the above criteria, the obvious man to build our team around [...]

Silver Lining to Patriots’ Ass-Whoopin

The good news? The Red Sox pack up the truck for the journey to Fort Myers on Feb. 12. It couldn’t come soon enough.

Decent Site of the Week: 80′s Tennis.com

Nostalgia alert! Nostalgia alert! Dece Community wanted to give a shout to one of our favorite junctions in sports memory — that would be tennis in the 1980′s. Thankfully, we’ve unearthed a pretty far out site dedicated to this era called 80′s Tennis.com. If you have any appreciation for this period of tennis, we advise checking out the site. 80′s Tennis.com has quite [...]

Alan Francis is Our Decent Bastard of the Week

“I let the ringers do the talking.” So says Alan Francis, one of the greatest horseshoe pitchers the world has ever known. This mustachioed marksman has won a record-setting 15 Men’s World Horseshoe titles since 1989. During one tournament, Alan Francis threw a record 64 consecutive ringers! Talk about a Burlington Shower! Talk about Alan Francis [...]

The Lighter Game

Nothing says “I’m a chill-ass stoner” like the lighter game. Smoke a doob or two, maybe throw on some jams and creatively balance a lighter on the back of your hand. It’s total freestyle. Improvise, go with the flow — be smooth. Explore your range. How do you play? First you have to mellow out. [...]

Decent Site of the Week: Championship Ranch

Decent Community is going back to the archives today to check out Championship Ranch — “a website dedicated to champions and glory.” A very fine premise indeed! And with a legendary slate of contributors that included big names like Muffler, Frank, Sportsman, JonerBoner, Milldog, and the estimable Misterbeef – this was a can’t lose website. Then [...]

What a Decent Day in Sports

Five years ago today was the second and last time I shed tears watching sports. Why you ask? Because on Oct. 27, 2004, The Boston Red Sox won the World Series. I remember Keith Foulke getting Edgar Renteria to ground out. I remember Doug Mientkiewicz catching the ball and leaping into the air. I remember [...]

Whiteout

 Team records set by the Patriots Sunday in the 59-0 embarrassment of the Tennessee Titans: Most points in a game Most points in a half (45) Most points in a quarter (35 int he second) Most total net yards in a game (619) Most passing net yards in a game (426, tie) Most touchdowns in [...]

Al McReynolds Is Our Decent Bastard of the Week

Amidst a Nor’easter on September 21, 1982, off the Vermont Avenue jetty in Atlantic City, NJ, Al McReynolds landed a 78 lb 8 oz. striped bass — the largest striper ever caught. For this feat alone, Mr. McReynolds has earned Decent Community’s highest honor — Decent Bastard of the Week. The fish (53″ long, 34 – 1/2″ girth) [...]

Decent Football Picks, Week 6

Poor Richard Seymour. The defensive end was a pivotal cog in the Pats’ dominance of the last decade. It took two guys to block him, turning old, slow guys like Tedy Bruschi into Pro Bowlers. But even if Big Rich could take on three guys he couldn’t save the Raiders. Oakland is averaging 83 yards [...]

Decent Football Picks, Week 4

All Helmet Head hopes now is that everyone learns a lesson from his mistake. After dumping his beautiful girlfriend for a horse-man-thing last week, he has spent the past week making amends for his stupidity and trying to win his lady back. First, he ordered her an expensive pocketbook from an Italian Fashion Show, but [...]

In Praise of the Eephus Pitch

Aside from having the best name of any pitch in the hurling catalogue, the eephus is an assertion of exotic character and thought process. It’s a demonstrative stance of fearlessness and a statement of a uniquely inventive nature. More to the point — the eephus is a seriously bad-ass pitch – and a most genuine expression of decency. The eephus, of course, carries [...]

The Future of Newspapers?

Much has been made about the demise of newspapers. Circulation dropping. Layoffs. Ad revenue declining. Furloughs. Classified sales freefalling (why pay to list your rental apartment in the newspaper when Craigslist is free?). Pay cuts. Many wonder, and rightfully so, if there will actually be print newspapers in 10 years. The vast majority of newspaper [...]

Decent Football Picks, Week 3

First, Tubesteak spills all his cybersleeves and other sex toys all over I-95 on his way to Georgia, then Helmet Head starts having sex with animals. What is going on with my brothers in decency? Helmet, I am ordering you at once to dump that horse thing because, as you remember, the winner of our [...]

Fight Breaks Out as Watney Leaves Varitek for Nick Green

BOSTON (AP) — People call Nick Green “The Doubles Machine,” but the Red Sox shortstop has gone much further than second base with Heidi Watney. The blonde sideline reporter was apparently the cause of a wild brawl between Green and Jason Varitek prior to Sunday’s game in Baltimore. Varitek rushed Green, who recently started dating [...]

Decent Football Picks, Week 2

Poor Tubesteak. On his way to Georgia earlier this week, he was involved in a minor accident on I-95 in South Carolina, resulting in a duffel bag filled with sex toys and old porno mags being spilled across the Interstate. All of his cyber sleeves were destroyed when wind blew them into the opposite direction [...]

Decent Football Picks

If there’s two things we love here at Decent Community, it’s gambling and football. All season long, we’re going to be bringing you our best bets for the weekend. All picks will be against the spread, which is taken from Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas. At the end of the season, whoever has the best [...]
