EDSBS LIVE: THERE ARE WORSE WASTES OF RESOURCES.

What: EDSBS Radio
When: 7:30 p.m.–9:00 p.m. EST THIRTY MINUTES MORE!!!! WOOOOO!!!
We’re really just making more room for Ragin’ Cajun Rebel, but you’re all invited, too.
Where: On the EDSBS channel at Now Live.
How: To call in? (310) 984-7600. You may also register at Now Live and participate in the live chat, where we’ll be taking comments and working them into the broadcast.
Why: Because you could waste time/money/life in a more egregious manner. Actor Eddie Griffin certainly did. That’s a $1.5 million Ferrari Enzo. Total line run: 400. Total now: 399 at best.
Who: Peter Bean of Burnt Orange Nation and Orson from this website, along with special guest Dan Shanoff, late of ESPN/ABC/Disney/Cthulu and Dan Shanoff.com.
To prepare ahead of time, your study list appears below. The theme? Football, Television, and The Media: Topic Following Colon.
The four questions for this week:
1. Identify your favorite television announcer/feature/widget. I.e., something the people who bring you sports get right.
2. Identify something you’d like to see obliterated from the face of television.
Putting the over/under of Mark May references at 12. Taking all bettors.
3. Which non-broadcasting celebrities would make the best and worst color commentators for college football games? We choose Carlos Mencia as worst.
4. Name an antisocial behavior you have fantasies about indulging. Example? Growing really, really long ratty sideburns and combing them in public like an Allman Brother.
Hear you then…

Thanks for the tip, CBG. No earthly way I’ll ever be able to block out the time to sit at home to listen, getting in on the action after the fact is the only way I’ll ever be able to listen.

Too bad we can’t award proximity FC points. He’d beat Chief Illiniwek all by himself.

1. Amen to #23-DVRs. More specifically, the 30 second “jump ahead” button which seems to have been designed for football games (spot of the ball plus 25 second clock). I can watch a whole game sans commercials and announcer yadda in under 45 minutes. Just wonderful.
2. The season behind the scenes stories a la Leinert and Bush from 2 seasons ago. No way not to wish very bad things on those guys after weeks of that followed by those Matrix-garbed NFL draft bits. Vomitous. Mark May and Lou Holtz are right there though.
3. Best- Rick Flair. Worst- Donald Trump or Rosie O’Donnell.
4. Thrashing/trashing a Ferrarri Enzo for 12 straight hours and returning it in similar condition as that video.

1) DVR. Fuck you, corporate overlords! I won’t watch your propaganda!
2) Jim Belushi, a man who has combined being fat, ugly and hairy as a mountain gorilla weaing a fur coat with the ghost of his (actually funny) brother to gain acess to wealth, fame and more high-quality poon than you or I will ever know.
3) Best: Steve Dunleavy. Bitter, angry and drunk are the perfect qualities for a football announcer. Worst: Star Jones. Self-righteous, humorless and not nearly as intelligent as she thinks she is. She’d be Joe Buck if not for his bland, Nazi-esque good looks.
4) I’ve always dreamed of going to France and wearing nothing but Hawaiian shirts, Bermuda shorts and flip-flops, loudly demanding ketchup with every meal and calling everyone “Pierre” while telling them exactly why everything was better in America.

Sorry to miss the show gentlemen, but life got in the way. As for my answers:
1) The Madden diagramming screen,
2) Known homosexuals scoring the hot chicks (ala T.R. Knight of Grey’s Anatomy scoring on Katherine Heigl)
3) Would love to see R. Lee Ermey or Cedric the Entertainer, would hate to see Dog the Bounty Hunter.
4) Please be more specific wiht your definition of antisocial. Your example did not seem to fit my definition.
