That cinnamon bun look anything like this?

Braves and Birds is on the same tip, with pictures.

And Peter proves the doubledouche today with his mailbag, including an email agreeing with him that the rest of us just don’t care enough about sports like the swarthy sweatsuitwearers.

Hey. Norm. Shut the hell up and belly up to Ted Danson for another beer. ’Kay? Norm?

84,501 fans split right down the middle at Alltel isn’t a real sporting event at all. Neither is taking a victory the first night it’s christened Bowden field. No, that’s all gin rummy. What an ass-clown.

Actually, this is closer to Peter King’s image of the best sports fan in America. Frickin’ awesome!

I heard he saw Loverboy in Madison Square Gardens and it was a kickass show.

Wycked.

George Wendt as a motivational speaker for your next corporate event? Bet there’s a hell of a waiting list for people hoping to create that priceless memory! If it’s too far out of your price range, maybe they offer a discount on Gordon Jump or Jerry Van Dyke!

Damnit Orson. I’ve had Carl in my head since that little exchange.

The “Foreigner Belt” episode of ATHF is one of the best things ever created, Dan. Hope you hear Shake screaming out “I am forever!” all afternoon.

Usually I can only think of the many fantastic things that Inignot and Err belted out.

I know you can’t see this, but I’m doing it as hard as I’ve ever done.

You’ve forced us to resort to interweb-speak. LOL.

Hey Orson and Stranko, I notice in your ATL you urge the SEC bottom-feeders to hang onto their coaches and give them the chance to work their magic. Do you really think that Rich Brooks, the Orgeron, or Sly Croom will blossom into a conference fixture? Hasn’t UM already dug their karmic grave for the foreseeable future by getting rid of Cutcliffe? (I assume you only want Tennessee to give Phil time to put his system in effect because to do otherwise would sap this blog of much of its material.)

Johnson, Croom, and the Orgeron—all potentially good, or at least good enough to give the programs such much need sustainability and a platform for future success. Brooks doesn’t appear capable of getting anything done or done well.

As for Fulmer, any talk of his demise is premature. With Cutcliffe back and a purge of his coaching staff forthcoming, they’ll be fine next year.

Jeez, Orson, I give you a Dick Smothers-level setup on Fulmer, a junkball right over the plate, and you take me at dead earnest?? Where’s your killer instinct? Say what you will about Phil, I wasn’t sincerely comparing him to the newbie coaches!

“Yeah, I saw those guys at the Meadowlands with Bryan Adams, that was a kickass show. I totally copped this feel off a passed out broad while they were playing urgent.”

Seriously, we’re talking ATHF and I’m not invited, if ever there was a call for a forecast of vengeance.

In other news, yes, Peter King is an idiot considering 98% of what are generally considered the biggest sporting events with the most racuous, interested, or intense crowds and fan bases happen outside of the meaningless swath of land that lies between Maryland and New York.

I like Carl’s commercial for Album 88, Georgia State’s radio station. “Yeeeh, dis is Carl, and yah listenin to 88.5, which prolly means you just heard some chick chantin for like 15 minutes straight”
