Tailgating Ideas – Don't Just Tailgate, Tailgate Better

Let’s be honest. We have nothing witty to say about Abigail Ratchford. We wish we could come up with something that ties her to tailgating or the tailgate party lifestyle but we got nothing. Let’s hear it for honesty once in a while. I guess our future in politics is blown… Links following the eye candy.

Whomever told you that being a starting pitcher in major league baseball has to be one of the greatest jobs ever, was 100% totally right. Aside from getting paid millions of dollars to play a kid’s game and only really needing to “work” every five days, (try asking your boss for that schedule) how about the spoils of dating some of the hottest women on the planet?

And we are not talking about clubhouse groupies hanging around the players’ parking lot after games. I’m talking about scorching hot Brazilian underwear models like Lisalla Montenegro who happens to be dating Angels pitcher C.J. Wilson. After taking a look at Lisalla Montenegro you can’t tell me you won’t be teaching your son to throw left handed at his next Little League game. Links following the eye candy.

Right off the bat, we need to issue an apology. The apology is the lack of updates and content being added to TailgatingIdeas.com for the past two weeks.

Although it would be nice to blame our lack of activity on drinking too much while attending Epic Beer Fest in San Diego, that would not be true. The truth of the matter is our lack of activity was due to our fearless leader, yours truly, being a monumental dumb ass.

Long story short, in an effort to clean out some files and photos that I thought were unused, I deleted them and ended up screwing things up pretty badly. The big issue was the inability to post new content and when you are running a blog, kind of hinders your ability to, well, blog. But the good news is thanks to our wonderful web hosting company, we are back up and running and able to post photos of Jessica Vaugn. Links following the eye candy.
