BLOGTOBERFEST: THAT HOOKER OWES ME A REFUND EDITION

“My old man said
to be a Tottenham fan.
I said [f-word] off, bollocks, you’re a [c-word]!”

Not a VT booster, a lawyer/wannabe agent. That’s a big difference.

“I suddenly remembered my Charlemagne: “Let my armies be the rocks and the trees and the birds in the sky.”"

Dr Henry Jones

Corrected.

I don’t think he’s a Virginia Tech booster. He’s just a dumbass who must not like representing athletes since no one will ever hire him again, but then again, most real agents or sports attorneys don’t dabble in personal injury and divorce work either.

The Saban rumor is bogus, that’s just Jimmy Sexton trying to squeeze more money out of the Dolphins.
Shula is coming back next year unless he has a Mike Price-like date with Destiny.

Yousabigbawh! Lemsday! LEMSDAY!!!!!!!

That the (Jimmy Williams) money came from a potential agent might mitigate the blameworthiness of the VPISU program a bit, but it does point to a lack of institutional control. Unfortunately, there is almost no chance of a major football school suffering any consequences for amatuerism violations anytime soon.

Also, it looks like the tattoo was only $310.

any alabama fan with an eye toward the future will be pulling for an AU rout in Tuscaloosa this Saturday…one more loss to AU is better than sitting through another year with Mikey “WOP Pussy” Shula on the sidelines

Sorry Matt, you’d better pull for strippers because Shula’s coming back. There will be many changes on the staff but Mikey survives until 2007.

Bo knows cock.

Chaps, I wouldn’t want you to think that a visit to a football match in Merry England is as scary as it used to be twenty years ago, although I’d also point out that there are still some games where you wouldn’t want to spend too much time outside the stadium. For example, imagine if ALL Michigan fans going to Columbus this weekend were forced to travel in an fleet of ‘official’ buses with a police escort from the moment they entered Ohio. Yet that’s exactly what I’ll have to do in a couple of weeks time for a game that’s only 80 miles down the road from me…

Is Everett a bona fide candidate?

If I was a British soccer hooligan, I’d be pissed they included clips of anti-capitalism / anti-WTO protesters in that video. They’re a bunch of pussies. Milton Friedman (RIP) could kick most of their asses.

I remember in the piazza outside the bar in Rome where I watched all the Cup matches this summer how every night after a win (and, leading up to the semi and final, every night period) there would be a line of military police and it was just a matter of time until someone threw a (insert object) at the cops, and then it was on like Donkey Kong. Good times.

I keep forgetting what a bunch of worthless c*nts these casuals are / were. Nice shot of someone punching a guy in the face while his friend has a fistful of the punch-ee’s hair.

That said, if you’re making a hoolie-greatest-hits video, the inclusion of the Scottish fans running amok at Wembley in the 70s was a worthy nod to the hyper-violent past. To take my cue from Mighty Squirrel Kingdom, imagine if they had to CANCEL the Michigan – tOSU game for several years in a row because of the fans. My Glaswegian grandfather used to say (about a lot of things, actually),“Hanging’s too good for them.” And he was a Rangers fan.

Squirrel Kingdom, two questions. First, which football sides are that brutal? Second, when I’m in the UK from Jan to May, will I have a chance to attend one of their matches?

“they won’t have friedman to kick around anymore!”

I used to be hesitant about this site, I didn’t want to get drawn in by the hilarious writing. I was afraid I’d be lured in, only to have you endorse some pop-culture zombie food, and break my heart.

Now that I know we share a passion in our desire to throw rocks at Nickleback, I can trust you. Please don’t break my heart.

When I was in Holland (’97), I remember hearing about how Ajax Amsterdam and Feyenoord Rotterdam? supporters set up a brawl on a highwyay via the internet. Nice to see technology making a difference. Unfortunately, for the hooligans, the authorities got wind of it before it went down.

In the spirit of Blogtoberfest, I think Joe Paterno is going to retire after this year. More brains for me, I say.

I don’t believe I’ve ever seen Tebow, with a purposeful grimace and terrible sound, pull the spitting high tension wires down. So I think Atari is safe. For now.

DC,
They cancelled the Iron Bowl for 40 years because of the fans.

Rusty, I’d say that you’ve got a pretty good chance of experiencing some of the less savoury aspects of British football while you’re over here – May is the end of the season. I don’t want to use the word ‘recommend’ as it’s totally inappropriate, but if you really do feel that you have to see for yourself and you’re in London, any Millwall home game would give you the opportunity, but don’t say I didn’t warn you. The slogan at the end of the clip (‘No one likes us, we don’t care’) is theirs, they sing it to the tune of ‘Sailing’ by Rod Stewart…which links nicely into what DC Trojan said before you: the abiding image of the Scottish fans at Wembley in ’77 is when they broke the goalposts at the tunnel end. I wonder where they might have got that idea from?

13-speaking from personal experience, european protestors don’t mess around. sure, football hooligans would probably be wildly disappointed by demonstrations in the US but there’s a long, proud tradition of street fighting in western europe (especially spain, greece, italy, germany, etc.) that kind of died out in the post-WW II economic boom when everyone got coopted into the “middle class”. if you want insane, only slightly political rioting (e.g more like a sports riot), there used to be the chaos days every year in germany, which was a massive, weeklong gathering of punks getting wasted and having pitched battles in the streets with the riot police. compared to that american sports riots are hella weak.
also, excellent backing music from sham 69, who were themselves plagued by football violence from fans of rival teams at their shows in the late 70s back when, I assume, UK football still pretty crazy.

DC, they also canceled the South Carolina-Clemson game for 5 years because Clemson Cadets and armed South Carolina students almost started a firefight in 1902.

Did you ever go to war over someting as insignificant as Toledo?

hooker refunds, cockblocking,crazy ass cheerleaders, having you gender questioned, I am so glas I was referred here for help.

The Wannstache is winning at half-time!

Another reason why Kenny Irons is a great American.

Shoppers Brave Cold Weather For New Playstation

November 16, 2006

The holiday shopping frenzy is starting early for some this week. Many folks are already standing outside stores in the cold for a chance to get the new Playstation 3.

Each store across the country will get a limited number of the game that will be sold Friday morning. Customers braved the cold weather wrapped in blankets and drinking hot chocolate trying to keep warm. “I am going to be here all night. I also have snacks to eat while I wait in line,” said Mike Monroe, Columbus resident.

Everyone is not excited about the new game and say they would think twice before waiting outside in the cold. “I would not wait outside in the cold. I would just wait to order it online,” said Drew Upton, Gwinnett County resident.

Most stores say camping outside stores for the latest game is normal. “This is usual when a new electronic game comes out. But it is not normal for them to camp outside for nearly 2 days for a video game,” said Jennifer Dodson, Best Buy.

Auburn football player Kenny Irons is among millions across the country braving the cold weather for the new game. “We had practice this morning and I was telling coach we got to hurry up so I can get in line for a new Playstation 3,” said Irons.

Department stores say they will be handing out tickets in the morning for the number of playstation games they receive. Everyone waiting in line across the country will not be so lucky to go home with the game. Each store will have a limited number of games to sale. Retailers hope to get more in before Christmas.

Auburn sucks !

OMG you can see Petros Papadakis’ junk.

Just FYI.

AUAlum @ #22: if Wikipedia and Bama fan pages are to be believed, the Iron Bowl hiatus was over money — or is that just the “official” version?

Rob @ #25: armed insurrection? Now you’re talking. Doesn’t have the stylish improvisation points of pitching a Vespa from the top deck at the San Siro, but definitely shows commitment to the cause.

Sham 69…hell yes.

To be fair, most of that footage is from a movie.

DC: You are right. The iron bowl was cancelled for 40 years over the amount of travel money that could be given to the players.

Later, when Auburn and Alabama football became the modern versions as we know them today, both sides realized that they were already paying their players so much up front bonuses for signing that travel money was really not that important anymore.

Ah! I imagine it’s a lot easier for an Ole Miss fan to run smack when you know you’ve got L’Orgeron backing you up.

Watch, if you’re a man

first of all, Tyrone Willingham is a giant fucking douche. I’m glad that all the UW fans are starting to realize this.

Secondly, w/r/t PS3, see this:

Robbers accost people waiting for PS3, shoot 1

PUTNAM, Conn. — Two armed thugs tried to rob of line of people waiting to buy the new Playstation 3 gaming console early today and shot one who refused to give up the money, authorities said.

The two confronted a "bunch of people who were in line" outside a Wal-Mart store shortly after 3 a.m. and demanded money, said Lt. J. Paul Vance, a spokesman for the state police. The new Sony consoles are selling for around $500 to $600.

"One of the patron’s resisted. That patron was shot," Vance said.

He said the two gunmen fled, and the victim was taken to University of Massachusetts Medical Center in Worcester. There was no immediate word on the victim’s condition.

Vance said police were searching for the suspects.

Short supplies of the PS3 and strong demand led to lines of buyers, some waiting for days, outside stores across the country.

In Palmdale, Calif., authorities shut down a Super Wal-Mart after some shoppers got rowdy late Wednesday. In West Bend, Wis., a 19-year-old man was injured when he ran into a pole racing with 50 others for one of 10 spots outside a Wal-Mart. A Best Buy in Boston, aware it had only 140 of the consoles, got smart — employees gave out tickets to the first 140 people in line so everyone could go home.

On English soccer holligans

Crazy Tom – High five on the Blue Oyster Cult reference. Though I’m sure Orson could mix a “Ohhhh ohhh there goes Tebow” into the song somewhere. In fact I’ll be sorely dissapointed if this does not happen.

Newspaper Hack—yes it is. Now, quiet down. Orgeron is eating the babies of illegals right now, in preparation for the big game tomorrow. do not disturb him.

HFS @ 38: There’s only one inaccuracy in that account: English soccer hooligans aren’t unemployed, many of them work for the post office (true!). Except for Chelsea thugs, they’re about 75% lawyers and bankers. Actually, they’re 100% merchant bankers, har har.

AUAlum,

Glad Kenny’s got his mind on the game this week…I hope Lester starts and plays the whole game.

DC Trojan,

Those weren’t lawyers and bankers I was standing with in the early 90’s. I’m not even sure they were human, although they could utter expletives with greater facility than lower primates.

I meant now that Chelsea’s a money laundering operation for Russian plutocrats. But even so, there were some “professional” types in among the HeadHunters in the early 90s, apparently the National Front and Combat 18 types don’t mind people who can read without moving their lips. I wouldn’t have hung around long enough to take a survey mind you, I have always been averse to getting my head kicked in.

Nickelback didn’t get tickets but Derek Jeter had a sideline pass in Columbus.

Which coaches’ spouses/cheerleaders/sorority members/reporters will get banged by him?
