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…

I’m really excited about the new time slot. The shame from last week has now been washed away, and I feel so clean and pure.
I like this weeks’ theme, too.
I can’t wait to freak the fuck out from 6:30-8, CST. Buckle up, bitches…it’s been a long day of work and I’m on a shit load of uppers.

This is the second Ferrari Enzo wrecked. Another one was in Southern California. Some Swedish con man did it.

PeteJayhawk says:
There have been more than 2 Enzos wrecked. Yes, the one in SoCal was wrecked by Stefan Eriksson, Swedish crook extraordinaire. Richard Losee wrecked his in Utah. Russian billionaire Suleiman Kerimov wrecked his in Nice, France. There was a wreck involving an Enzo somewhere in Asia and another one in Europe; both resulted in fatalities. James Glickenhaus had his Enzo turned into a custom car by Ferrari. There may have been a couple others I’m not aware of or have forgotten.
Celebrity-owned Enzos that remain intact include those of Roger Penske, Sergei Federov, Tommy Hilfiger, Jason Kay, Eric Clapton, Rod Stewart, Nicolas Cage, and Steve Wynn.

RedDevilEA says:
1. Not very exciting, but I think the best thing for football on t.v. is the graphic 1st down line. 100% benefit, 0% detraction.
2. The worst thing about football on t.v. is the sideline correspondent. No. Purpose. Whatsoever.
3. Best-Will Farrell as Harry Caray
Worst-The Dixie Chicks. Although, it would be funny watching Kirk hit on them all day.
4. Walking around with a marching band snare drum playing rim shots when people use ATM’s, vending machines, parking meters, etc. Actually, I’ve got some time this weekend…….

Whitey says:
Gotta try to call in some day, but until then…
1. Raftery’s “Onions” call.
2. Inconsistent crawls. Either show everything and I wait through WNBA, Tennis etc scores for that which matters… but don’t give me this only one sport carp during games from January 9th(ish) to late August. Of course, I’m singling out ESPN. (This would be absolutely fine if it were just college football, however)
3. Best: Kevin James Worst: Stephen Hawking
4. Fight Club style brawlin’… I have anger issues.

Or “crap”
One sport carps could be entertaining.

MCab says:
1. Those cameras that they have above the players has some killer shots.
2. Stupid and pointless “keys of the game.” Ergo: “Penn State needs to be intense on defense and not commit turnovers.” Name a team that CAN be slack on defense and give the ball away.
3. Best/Worst: Robin Williams. It’d be great for the first 1/4, after that, we’d wanna throw copies of the Bicentennial Man at him until he bleeds.
Best: Any discovery channel narrator. They already do the same thing, but with real lions and tigers.
Worst: Gilbert Gottfried. Could be like Robin Williams. Have him for SWAC games.
4. Have those springy shoes like in the Beastie Boys video and hop around. Everywhere.

Stacy Keibler Luvs Me says:
1. Identify your favorite television announcer/feature/widget.
Keith Jackson
2. Identify something you’d like to see obliterated from the face of television.
Charlie Weis’ Belt (Jabba the Hut would then get really jealous.)
3. Which non-broadcasting celebrities would make the best and worst color commentators for college football games?
Best: Arnold Schwarzenegger (from the Brazil trip days, not the current politically correct mess running Calif., married to Skeletor. )
Worst: Regis Philbin
4. Antisocial behavior
Saying to everyone I see wearing a kelly-green Notre Dame shirt: “Are you stupid, or do you just dress that way?!”

Car commercials. They are so boring.
3. Which non-broadcasting celebrities would make the best and worst color commentators for college football games?
Best: Maybe Nick Lachey, as lame as that sounds. I think he knows his sports and would be good. I would have Reese Witherspoon as my sideline eye-candy.
Worst: Roseanne. She would make that Woman who does Tuesday night games seem like Keith Jackson. My worst sideline person would be one of the Queer Eye dudes…theyd be tryin to get piece the whole game.
4. Name an antisocial behavior you have fantasies about indulging.
Today at the company meeting I wondered what would actually happen if i stood up, walked to the front of the room, and pulled down my pants. It was a boring meeting, yes.

#15, I’ll see your Friends and raise you any movie starring a male cast member.
For your #3, I’ve been doing an unofficial JOB imitation during my alma mater’s games for years now.

DC Trojan says:
I think that Glickenhaus’ Enzo was converted by Pininfarina, not Ferrari. It’s a thing of wonder.
1. Not inspired by college football today, so: retired Scottish rugby commentator Bill McLaren. Or maybe Vin Scully. They’re cut from the same cloth.
2. Any human interest story in sports, with the possible exception of Ruel whatsisname the Olympic wrestler. Or those Romanian gymnasts who did nekkid gymnastics videos for Japanese perverts. That will leave college football out of it altogether.
3. Best: Eddie Izzard. Only a minority of commentators actually add any value, so I might as well get a laugh out of it. Worst: Andy Dick. Does he count as a celebrity?
4. I’d like to start hitting other people’s children at the park. Not hard, more of a traditional clip to the ears for being mannerless little twats.

Southern Papa says:
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.

Harris says:
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.

Because They Can says:
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.

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.
