I’d hate to be a defender of Pammy and all but:

Pam Ward was good with Speilman because she let him do all the analysis (and had a much deeper voice than Chris so it made it sound like there was at least 1 male in the booth). She just called the plays, who had the ball and what the down was, you know what an announcer is supposed to do.

When Ward was then paired with Mike Tomzack a human being who has less knowledge of the game than Pam and a 3rd graders grasp of the English language, it was a complete disaster.

Granted she’s not the best looking individual in the world however I would rather see her breasts than John Maddens or Tony Sigagusa’s.

26 – The loss at Gettysburg didn’t diminish my opinion of Lee as one of the greatest generals this nation ever produced. If anything, it showed he was only human and had great faith in his troops. I was merely setting the record straight. Giving the odds, it is a damn miracle and demonstration of Pickett as an inspired leader that anybody reached that stone wall defended by Unioin soldiers, let alone make it across that wall like several of his men did before getting cut down.
Othersise, damn funny bit, Jebush. I meant to point that out on Friday but failed miserably.

6,
As a History major graduate from Ole Miss, I commned your accuracy. However, lest we not forget, we would have never made it to the Battle of Gettysburg without General Lee. Go SOUTH!

I’m surprised it took six posts to get to the Pickett thing.

And, as it pertains to Jebs’ reply comment, the comparisons are a bit at odds. After all, Pickett blamed and, some say, at least partly despised Lee thereafter. Pam Ward and Charlie Weis, meanwhile, are more than happy taking that ESPN, Notre Dame money to the bank.

Two things, actually:
1) I had no idea anyone outside of Iowa actually watches those games on ESPN2 and
2) I’m glad someone else understands that not only do us Iowa fans have to watch that HORRIFYING offense every saturday, but when it’s an away game we have to listen and look at THAT thing. We had Mike Tomczak for a game once. Ah, how I was happy…

That M Beanie Boy sure looks a lot like Jarrett from the “Jarrett’s Room” sketch on SNL.

Isn’t that picture of Hindenberg rather than Berliner. I’m just a fan of the ever blitzing World War I German Army.

Wilson Pickett would have been smart enough not to listen to Lee.

So that is the dude that sang “Mustang Sally”?

Ride, Sally, ride…..

” Mustang Sally, think you better slow your mustang down.

You been running all over the town now.

Oh! I guess I’ll have to put your flat feet on the ground.

All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride…”

Not FB, but longtime Houston Cougars basketball coach Guy V. Lewis is a must on any of these lists. He recruited some of the greatest ballers ever (Elvin Hayes, Drexler and Hakeem?), ran roughshod through the Southwest Conference many a time, only to choke year after year in the NCAAs.

The bigger the game was, the bigger he would choke. Consequently, the ‘83 national championship against N.C. State, in which he decided to slow the game down while leading by seven, was the WORST coaching job EVER. NO FURTHER DISCUSSION.
