We Like Our Apples Unwashed And Bought On The Side Of The Road

We like our apples like we like our clothes: unwashed and bought on the side of the road.

A lifestyle manifesto. The FDA recommends washing produce, but grit doesn't care about the FDA.

Pull Up At The Cincinnati Zoo And Pay Our Respects

Pull up at the zoo, pay our respects.

Harambe was killed at the Cincinnati Zoo on May 28, 2016. This rap was recorded in June 2017. The pilgrimage is an appropriate act of grit mourning.

Use Your One Phone Call From Jail On Mike And Mike

It's getting locked up for getting hyped tonight and using your one call on Mike and Mike.

Using your one phone call to call into Mike & Mike instead of calling a lawyer is an objectively terrible decision and therefore peak grit.

Zack Hample Belongs In A Garbage Can

First name Marlins, last name Man, I'll stuff Zack Hample in a garbage can.

A subjective assessment of Hample's worth. Garbage can capacity would need to be at least 55 gallons.

Lady Luck Smiled Down On The Viet Cong When Marlins Man Missed Vietnam

I was one year late for Vietnam. Lady Luck smiled down on the Viet Cong.

Marlins Man implying he would have single-handedly turned the tide of the Vietnam War is an all-time self-assessment.

The Marlins Man Beef Is About Jealousy, Not The Troops

It's not about the troops, it's jealousy.

A perceptive media critique. Marlins Man wraps himself in the flag but the feud is really about who's the bigger baseball celebrity.

Marlins Man's Mouth Is Always Behind The Plate

Problem is your mouth always behind the plate.

Double meaning: Marlins Man is known both for his behind-home-plate seats and for eating on camera. Both are factually accurate.

PFT Commenter Owns 'No Pressure No Diamonds' Now

No pressure no diamonds, slow it down. PFT owns your slogan now.

PFT Commenter actually trademarked 'No Pressure No Diamonds.' This cease and desist rap had legal standing.

RG3 Folds And Splatters Under Pressure

And to be honest you more like the latter. When the pressure is on you fold and splatter.

RG3 went 13-21 as a starter after his rookie year and was out of the NFL by 2017. Folded and splattered is a fair summary.

RG3 Should Respect Shanahan

Respect Shanahan, I don't plan to scram.

The RG3-Shanahan feud was well-documented. Reasonable people disagree on who was more at fault, but 'respect Shanahan' is a defensible position.

RG3 Disappointed The Dog Pound Just Like He Did Atlanta

Don't disappoint the Dog Pound like in Atlanta man.

RG3 went 1-4 as a starter in Cleveland in 2016 and was benched. He did indeed disappoint the Dog Pound.

RG3 Goes 4-12 Unless He Comes On The Podcast

Spoiler alert: RG3 goes 4 and 12. Unless he comes on the podcast, then he goes 10 and 6 and make the playoffs.

The Browns went 1-15 in 2016 — worse than even the 4-12 prediction. RG3 did not come on the podcast. The conditional remains untestable.

Danny Woodhead Never Gets Hurt And Never Fumbles

Not afraid of dirt, and always keeps it humble. Never gets hurt, and never even fumbles.

Woodhead fumbled 8 times in his NFL career and suffered a season-ending ACL and MCL tear in 2016.

The Only Flag Woodhead Has Ever Drawn Is Of The U.S.A.

Only flag he ever draws is of the U.S.A. If you a mouthy linebacker, then you must pay.

Woodhead committed 3 penalties in his NFL career. But the patriotism angle is a nice touch.

Quarterbacks Are Overpaid — Just Hand It To Woodhead

Overpaid quarterback with the eight-figure salary. Hand it to the man with the Energizer battery.

The eternal running back vs. quarterback salary debate. Woodhead's career earnings were about 1/10th of an average starting QB.

Danny Woodhead Watches Film All Day And Sleeps In His Car

Never goes home 'cause he always goes hard. Watches film all day, and he sleeps in his car.

No evidence Woodhead ever slept in his car. He did reportedly drive a used Buick LeSabre as a rookie, which at least has the grit aesthetic.

Woodhead Is Rushin' And Wet Like Putin In The Rain

Working up a sweat, moving the chains. He's rushin' and wet, like Putin in the rain.

A triple entendre: rushing yards, Russian, and the famous photo of Putin walking shirtless in the rain. Elite wordplay.
