In Michigan, Preparing to Gamble With Tardio
Tuesday, November 25, 2008
As part of his status as the best medical malpractice attorney under 30 in the country, Tardio nows lives out of his suitcase. He's done depositions in California, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Alabama, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and probably other places. All in the past month. Now he's in Detroit.
Which is convenient because I'm also in Detroit. What better way to celebrate than by going gambling in the downtown Detroit casinos?
Honestly, there aren't any.
Especially not since Detroit is the only city I've ever been to where you have to pay for your own drinks while you're gambling. Honestly, it deserves the italics. I can't begin to explain who much this pisses me off.
Although, this will be the second time we've done it so far this year. Which is making me think that might mean we have a problem. In our defense last time we went we kept asking what time the casinos in Canada closed. (Which is a weak defense because it just meant we wanted to go to a new casino.) We asked 14 different people. Eventually we worked our way all the way up to the guy in charge of the MGM casino floor. You know what he said?
"I'm not sure."
Come on, do you have to lie to our faces? You don't know what time your prime competitors close?
So, anyway, if you're in Detroit and gambling two days before Thanksgiving on a Tuesday night, we'll be hard to miss. Labels: detroit casinos tardio gambling

Travis has become enamored of several objects, phrases or events which he frequenly references in the column. Among the most frequent:
'Bama Bangs - a term coined by Travis to refer to southern men's hairstyles that feature prominent bangs for no apparent reason. Brodie Croyle and John Parker Wilson are oft-cited violators of 'Bama Bangs rules.

When Clay Travis, acclaimed author of Dixieland Delight, decided to spend the 2008 season up close and personal with UT football, he—and every other college football aficionado—thought he was in for a rollicking ride with one of the leading contenders for the national title. After all, when the Vols kicked off the season on September 1, the defending SEC East champions were ranked 18th in the country. As head coach Phillip Fulmer prepared for the game, he reflected upon a coaching career that included an astounding 147 victories, two SEC championships, and a national title. With 34 years at UT under his belt as both a player and coach, the Tennessee native had just signed a contract extension that projected to keep him at the university long enough to become the winningest coach in program history.

There is no college ball more passionate and competitive than football in the Southeastern Conference, where seven of the twelve schools boast stadiums bigger than any in the NFL and 6.5 million fans hit the road every year to hoot and holler their teams to victory.

The newly favored man is not really a man at all, but a hairless, effeminate, germ-fearing, non-meat-eating, exfoliating, wristband-wearing woman of the worst order. We as men are told that we must embrace the sacred feminine in ourselves, even if it doesn't actually exist, and become the very quintessence of woman, plus penises. This situation is untenable. This trend must stop.

Clay Travis is the only former student manager in the history of college athletics to marry an NFL cheerleader. He managed to pull this off despite an irrational affinity for the television shows Dawson's Creek and My Super Sweet 16. While being raised in Nashville, Tenn., Travis developed a healthy obsession with college sports and Alyssa Milano. As a teenager his greatest accomplishment was taking a doo-rag wearing Luke Duke (balling as Tom Wopat) to the hole at the Nashville YMCA.
In the midst of a stellar legal career during which he specialized in rewarding the unjust and punishing the oppressed, Travis began writing for CBS Sports's SPiN section in September 2005...

FYI, if you hate paying for cheap, watered down alcohol while you are gambling, don't come to Missouri. Casinos here are required to charge as well. Yes, it sucks. Yes, I still go.
