Yeah, I bought and read your fucking book. I’m well aware I gave you momentary control of my mind. But neither you nor I nor Nick Saban has any time for this shit.

Gosh, I got in on this orgy during the “afterglow” and “cuddletime” era.
I came here for the humor, and stayed for the insight.
Icame here to fit in, and stayed for the camaraderie.
I came here for the cynicism, and stayed for the relevance.

You have succeeded in turning a stogy, gray-haired, left-brained south campus (Athens) alum into a witty, senile, irrelevant snarkster.

Many cocktails to you and your sensible life-partner TCOAN.

Come with me now to a shining and beautiful day in the future….

The year: 2030
The setting: a sweat filled room, somewhere in Indianapolis
The scene: NCAA nominating committee meeting

Myles Brand: Then it’s agreed, in recognition of Mr. Swindle’s many contributions to the NCAA over the years, he will take over as president at the end of my term.

Swindle’s Agent: President Brand, my client is honored by your thoughtfulness and yields to no man in his devotion to college athletics.

However, with regard to Mr. Swindle’s compensation package, I would be remiss in my duties if I didn’t convey to you, with a heavy heart, that he has recently been offered – on a tentative basis – the presidency of the fledgling LWVN, Latino Women’s Volleyball Network…..

and we all know where that leads.

Hey, waitaminit. I thought there were only about 12 of us posting under several thousand psuedonyms! Does this mean someone is actually READING this drivel?

Freaking scary.

I think Orson is the blog equivalent of the Flight of the Conchords once they hit HBO…..just got funnier but on a grander scale, with more money I hope….and more fans…..too bad bloggers cant have a “Best of DVD” or something for sale

Orson, give yourself a fuckin siren! Congrats on the new gig and living the dream.

Looks like Sporting News is actually attempting to make itself relevant again by plundering the deep seas of talent in the blogosphere. They hired Mike Florio from profootballtalk.com to do a few articles a week earlier this year. In less than six months, they’ve bagged the best pro and college football bloggers in the world. It’s good to see them at least making the attempt… I remember way back in the day when it was actually printed on newsprint.

Excellent! You and Seanie the Cablinasian are living the dream. May your cynical irreverency and sick, twisted sense of humor never fail you.
