EDSBS LIVE! SCHRUTEBAG EDITION
EDSBS LIVE! EDSBS LIVE! We start now at 7:30, which will allow ample time for The Big Lead, our big guest tonight, to talk about his newfound celebrity as the target of Schrutebag’s affections.
What: EDSBS Radio
When: 7:30 p.m.–9:00 p.m. EST Now with two–count ‘em–TWO female callers. Hot blog groupies–eureka, Spartans.
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. There’s loads of fascinating articulate people chatting back and forth on the board. There’s also your hosts.
Why: Because we’ll be talking about sketchy–as in sketchy athletes, sketchy cities, and sketchy ESPN hosts who knock off tiny bloggers for funzies. Again, our guest:The Big Lead
Your four questions for tonight:
1. Who’s the sketchiest football player ever? Two words: Sebastian Janikowski.
2. Sketch-oid football program? As in barely literate graduates, suspect player affluence, and overall willingness to bend any and every rule to win. Expect half the broadcast to be alternating Bama/Auburn accusations.
3. Do you have a sketchy family member? Our was a turn of the century heroin addict who told his family he was dead in order to have them wire money to California to pay for the delivery of his body. Got his ass beat when he showed up breathing and loaded a few years later.
4. How are you gay? See our earlier discussion from today for a clue on where we’re going with this. If you are gay and answering the question, tell us how you’re straight.
See you tonight at 7:30.

Oh Lord, look on google maps 10 south of Plain Dealing.

Notice Plain Dealing is not in the southern part of the state. (and I’m from the southern part)

I had a playoff game my soph year of HS in Plain Dealing, LA - that name alone won my heart in regards to the state of Louisiana

LSUJoshua- you’ve convinced me. Forget moving back to Austin, I’m headed to Louisiana. I love Cajun food, and I love a Cajun accent even more.

If y’all like RCR, y’all should move here. Not saying RCR ain’t special or dogging him (except for the part about him being a Rebel -snicker-) but we have quite a few characters like that. It’s part of the extremely short sided positive side of the ledger involved in living in the great state of Louisiana. We may be corrupt/poor/stupid/whatever, but we have great food and interesting people. And hot chicks, can’t forget the wimmen folk.

DC, speaking of Scotland, what, if anything, do you know about Kirkcaldy? Inquiring minds going there next weekend want to know.
What in the name of the wee man would take you to Kirkcaldy? About the last interesting thing to happen there was when they started making linoleum. Before that, the birth of Adam Smith.
Seriously, my father’s parents used to live in Fife past Kirkcaldy, and twice a year we had to drive on the effing A915 including the crawl through the Lang Toun. The A92 bypass is the one road I’d pay to use if they’d let me.
I honestly don’t know what to suggest - the local delights are small scale. Perhaps enjoy the names? (Lochgelly, Auchtertool, Coalton of Wemyss for starters.) There’s Falkland Palace near Cupar - good for about 45 minutes of wandering around pretending to be interested, and then the traditional cup of tea and scone round the corner in the village.
Raith Rovers are playing a home game against Greenock Morton on Saturday 14th, how bad could a Scottish Second Division game be?
Failing that, rent a car and go to St Andrews. Or take the train back to Edinburgh.
(Now watch, you’ll go there, have a great time, and conclude that I’m being uncharitable.)

Seriously, that was hard to follow up, even if I was like 5 callers down the row.

1. Randy Moss - When Free Shoes U says “No thanks.”….
2. SMU ’80s edition/tOSU Tressell edition - Wish I was old enough to enjoy the SMU teams from that time. Seemed like a bad-ass, don’t give a shit period down there!
3. Wife’s sister - I refer to her as the “Tony Gwinn” of the family due to the fact that she’s had four kids with four different men. The baseball equivelent of “hitting for the cycle” Lives in what could pass for a crack house, always mananges to show up at family functions with a “guy of the week” and no kids at her side and completely shocked that anyone “gives her grief” about her situation. She’s in her 30’s by the way.
4. Scented candles and chap stick/lip balm - In the winter, if there isn’t a scented “sugar cookie” or “apple pie” scented candle burning, I’m grumpy. Wife got me hooked on chap stick. Never realized how “naked” my lips really were. I reapply at least ten times a day.

Yea I think I speak for many people when I say “RajunCajunRebel” aught to have his own show where called “Tales from the Swamps” where he gets loaded and carries on for all to enjoy.

1. No votes for Michael “I’m so bad, ESPN had to fire me” Irvin?? Yeah, that was your FRIEND’s crackpipe in the car, right….
2. Now, I’d have to go with tOSU.
3. I’d say my sister, she of the multiple DUI’s, except for the fact that I’m distantly related to Warren G. Harding. That takes the cake.
4. I’m a brand whore, and I’ve carried a Coach manbag (I live in Japan, and worked in Tokyo–heading to work on the subway in a suit, a backpack just doesn’t cut it.) I don’t get expensive haircuts since I shave my head, but I’ve enjoyed the occaisional pedicure. I enjoy watching Ugly Betty. And I’ve also seen Bjork in concert–best live concert I’ve ever seen, by the way. Enjoy it, R.U.T.S.

1.) How was Willie Williams formerly of da U not mentioned?
2.) Also just to be different, Tennessee, the year that inspired the glorious Fulmer Cup.
3.) My Mexican great-grandfather had a second family on the side whose desendents asked us for money 4 yrs ago. Just can’t make that up. So Gabriel Garcia Marquez-ish.
4.) Rihanna’s “SOS” is a great song. That has to be loss of man points.
As George Lopez would say….MAS PUTO.

I should also add under #4 that I’m going to a Bjork concert this summer, but it’s at Red Rocks, which mitigates the gayness with a touch of “hey, no concert at Red Rocks is a bad one.”
Also, the EDSBS Live show was really, really great. Well done, gentlemen.

1) Lawrence Phillips - For reasons listed above by #29.
2) Historic: Pony Express SMU - The only program to receive the death penalty (although Switzer-era Oklahoma might have also deserved it)
Current: Tennessee, but I have a feeling that with Boone Pickens’ huge donation, Oklahoma State is going to be a major player in the sketchiness sweepstakes.
3) A cousin who has had two prison stints and for a few months we didn’t if he was even alive.
4) “Desperate Housewives” is one of my favorite shows

Upon further review the biggest football player sketch-ball of all time has to be Rae Carruth.
its awesome that he was available as wr #21 on the all time CU teams tho.
dude was fast.

1. Wayne Madkin. How many years of eligibility did this guy get? 9? 11?
2. Nebraska. Nobody ever does time for the throw-girlfriend-down-the-stairs-and-into-the-wall spring endurance drills and the 452 scholarships, they are indeed sketchy.
3. Me. Between being the only one arrested for public intoxication at an LSU home opener (out of 81,000 folks), dressing like Ric Flair (WOOOOOOO!) at last fall’s LSU/UF game and being semi good at lying (but not about the above), even my life long friends aren’t sure of who or what I am.
4. I happily pay almost 40 bucks for my haircut. Tried paying less, but this girl is just too good. And no lingering boobs on my shoulder are ever involved. I just started moisturizing my hands. Hey, it makes a nice difference, whether on my ties or my ladies.

1) Lawrence Phillips. Dragging the girlfriend down the stairs by her hair was bad enough, trying to run kids over in your truck because they talked smack is the rancid cherry on the shit sundae.
2) SC’s too easy, and besides there are perfectly plausible explanations for most of it… reasonable doubt type excuses, anyway. I was tempted to go with the naked mercenary greed of the Notre Dame Athletic Department over their independent status for football, but that’s a philosophical quibble. So Oklahoma it is.
3) Covered this on the broadcast board: my great uncle Bill was a Church of Scotland minister, his wife Euphemia or Effie for short (note the foreshadowing) was a minister’s daughter herself. During WWII he was a chaplain with one of the Scottish regiments in Italy and France. Effie’s contribution to the war effort was to fuck her way through most of the Free Polish Army stationed in Scotland. After the war, Bill’s career as a minister was somewhat dented, so they moved to England so that he could teach theology. She took up with a burly German lesbian called Ute or something, and he moved into his study.
4) The tattered remnants of my RP / BBC accent don’t scream “butch.” Fortunately, I’ve let myself go a bit since the days when my now-wife’s gay housemate thought I was batting for his team. Apparently the monster sideburns and both ears pierced caused a false positive on his gay-dar.

1. Hart Lee Dykes - sketchy name….and four (4) programs on probation while he goes pro….that’s all time there.
2. U. of Miami IS the easy answer…they should have emeritus status. But I’ll go with Oklahoma…if they had a book about sketchy programs, J. Holloway in fur coat and gold chains would be the cover boy.
3. A cousin who works for the local book. Cleared by the grand jury.
4. I think Erasure kicks ass.

1. Maurice C is the easy answer… but I’m going with Joey Porter. Gets in a fight in Vegas, has dogs that attack people, and took a bullet to the ass. This guy is soooooome shady.
2. SMU - hands down. Any school that is so sketchy that it has it’s football program eliminated by the NCAA (itself MAD sketchy) has to be some shady shenanigans.
3. None! Or all. Hard to tell really.
4. I get my haircut at a place called the Grooming Lounge. But they serve beer. Still… I shell out more than a few clams for this nice mop of stylized sexy.

One of these days I’m going to call in….
1. OJ Simpson, Marcus Vick, and the WVU doubleteam of Henry/Jones (I’m like a proud mama)
2. Univ. of Miami
3. My ex-uncle owned a plane, made frequent trips to South America, and didn’t have an actual job. But since we’re not actually related anymore, my grandpa was a division president of the teamsters in the 70s.
4. I would have a 3-way with Scarlett Johansen.
