We’ll be boldly testing the theory of whether doing sports radio causes instantaneous weight gain tomorrow night as EDSBS Radio on BlogTalkRadio gets underway.
It promises to be a trainwreck, so tune in as we run through survival techniques of the offseason and also discuss anything and everything leaping into our minds at any given moment.
Who: Us, of course. Peter Bean of Burnt Orange Nation has been intrepid enough to join us for the trainwreck of an inaugural broadcast, as well. Both of us are on prescription medication. Be afraid.
The particulars:
What: EDSBS Radio. Like you’ve got anything better to do.
When: 8:00 EST–9:00 EST.
How: To call in, you mean? But of course. Live calling is a feature on BlogTalkRadio, and you should call in. In fact, we’ll be having a contest to see who can make the most cliched sports talk radio call-in tomorrow night.
The number: (718) 664-6532
You won’t be able to call in until showtime. Until then, feel free to submit topics for discussion in the comments, or click the BlogTalkRadio Button to visit our channel’s site.
“College football fans want more content,” Berson says. “This has been a long time coming. It’s a natural extension for us. We expect it to become a staple of our programming, like NFL Live and Baseball Tonight.”
Our reaction:
WHAAAAA?
It’s coming on at 3:30 p.m. EST, which means ESPN may have misstepped already by assuming you’re on the couch clearing a bong in between classes. (more…)
A short but sweet entry from the mighty MAC, who with Ohio’s frenetic work have already made a huge impact in the 2007 Fulmer Cup: Bowling Green’s Nate Waldron is picked up for bar brawlin’ outside a North Street Bar, earning Bowling Green a point for fightin’ in a drunken state. (HT:Devil Grad.)
Upgrades available should felony-grade details emerge, or if he threw someone through a plate glass window, something we’ll call the “80s Brawling Finish,” since every action movie for ten years or so had to have a scene where someone got tossed through a plate glass window onto the pavement. They have to emerge unmussed and without a spot of blood on them, of course, and be completely fine after a few vigorous shakes of head. Otherwise, no dice.
Like sax solos, crashing through windows only lives on in Walker, Texas Ranger reruns.
Via Losers with Socks and the Wizard of Odds: this year’s Wonderlic wunderkind hits a bit close to home, if rumor is to be believed. Chris Leak, walking under Jamarcus Russell and and under Brady Quinn’s huuuuuge pectoral muscles to get to the classroom, allegedly racked up a whopping ocho on the Wonderlic test, the professional football equivalent to an IQ test. (For those not in the know, ocho is Finnish for ‘not good.’)
Is Chris Leak Like Cameron Diaz in ‘In Her Shoes’? Pretty and literacy-problematic?
Remember that last year agents were having kittens over Vince Young scoring a six? This story is like that, but instead of a first-rounder, it’s over Chris Leak, a prospect whose most optimistic supporters would be thrilled at a solid NFL Europe run followed by a steady Arena Ball career. Leak clocked a 4.7 instead of his vaunted 4.5 (a number no one believed anyway,) measured up at sub six feet, and now racked up a number that, while still above this year’s low of 4 (some poor Iowa State running back, presumably caught in a revolving door at this very moment coming out of his hotel in Indianapolis,) reeks of “literacy problems.”
Could it be true? Sure. Leak had trouble reading defenses, didn’t blow doors on the SAT, and majored in the subject that gives Auburn Academic All-Americans: sociology. It’s entirely possible he got that score, as anyone who saw the pick at the 2:00 mark in the video below can attest.
Antwain Robinson can believe it, sure. But the test itself might have been a bit unfair to Leak, as the Wonderlic famously preys on its takers’ insecurities. It can be a veritable psychological torture run for players, and for a player known to shudder under pressure, it may have been too much for Leak. Just take a look at the EDSBS exclusive copy of the Wonderlic Leak took: (more…)
Yeah, it’s early…but how can one sleep after looking at Eva Green’s dress at the Oscars, which didn’t resemble a dress so much as a dress that had, after suffering grievous injury, been covered in several rolls of cheap gauze after suffering severe burns. Either that, or the oft-naked Green appeared naked at the Oscars sporting one wicked fungal skin condition.
Eva Green, seen here wearing the sewn-together corpse of three disparate dresses, is often naked in her movies.
We’re pounding Two Buck Chuck right now (curiously sold for three dollars at our local Green’s Liquor) trying to get the vision out of our head. Call it alcoholism, but at least we have bad Oscar dresses to blame. Poor University of Georgia naif Akeem Hebron has no such excuse–he was arrested for underage possession of alcohol at 7:59 a.m. Sunday morning in Athens.
Hebron may additionally claim in his debut rap jam that his party indeed does not stop ’til eight in the mownin’.
The score gives the Bulldogs their entry in the Fulmer Cup with one point,, and is indicative of the down-home variety misdemeanors cuddly Georgia tends to rack up in college football’s second most dubious award. (The first? Troy Smith, Gino Torretta, and, um…Danny Wuerffel.) Bulldog fans take solace in the fact that this did not involve the perennial bugbear of UGA football players, the suspended license charge, and that Mudcat Elmore’s cursed car was not involved.
