Reggie Bush failed to show up for his deposition in the civil suit Lloyd Lake filed against him. Just like he failed to show up in the 2006 Rose Bowl WOCKA WOCKA? Wait, 82 yards on 13 carries and 6 catches for 95 yards? Who’s writing this shit? Seriously? Who put this in the fucking teleprompter? I will find them and attach a pit bull to their balls for this. What do you mean we’re fucking live on the air? Bush’s attorney took advantage of cheap and obvious legal rhetoric 101 lessons in addressing Bush’s absence: “He literally ran from his deposition,” said Brian Watkins, the attorney for sports marketer Lloyd Lake, who is suing Bush. Because he’s a running back! Get it? There’s you, and then there’s him, way up there working on the wire. The Aristocrats! Texas/Texas A&M returns to Thanksgiving night, meaning you can return to not remembering a thing about it thanks to being too trashed and stuffed with turkey to pay attention. We remember our time watching the Longhorns/Aggies games about as well as you remember a vacation in Laos–meaning, not at all. Tony Kornheiser has a completely unheard-of take on bloggers you will be shocked to hear! They’re toads. They’re little toads. Actually, they’re pimples on the behind of the greater body politic in this country and in this city (everyone in the studio cackles for no reason). And because, because they have access to airwaves and three or four people read them, they think, ‘Oh, I’m very important.’ In fact, in fact, if a huge dumpster landed on their mother’s house (cackling), and got all the way into the basement and crushed them (more cackling), nobody would care. Nobody would miss them. They provide nothing good, no service that’s any good at all. They, they are, they are, they are sucking mole rats (more cackling), and that’s the nicest I can be to them. That’s okay. We haven’t liked Kornheiser since his Black and White special, and his HBO show was tres overrated. He was awesome in Bordello of Blood, though. We can never take that away from him. Hawaii has signed with Under Armor, pissing off Team Goliath something large and submitting to the tyrannical rule Ogbagu the Indomitable and his army of homoerotic-sounding phrases and grunts. Two smacks and a liftoff is still our favorite sexually suggestive phrase ever used in an Under Armour commercial. Oh, the deal ensures Hawaii will possess the most comfortable reinforced leotards in sport, which will look just dazzling as they’re crushed beneath the basic lycra of the first good opponent they face next year. (Florida!) The official stance of this blog has changed: we want Fulmer to stay. Why? Because anything Mike Freeman is for, we’re against. If this reverses our stance on gravity, so be it. You must have principles in this life, logic be damned. |

Orson, I hope your mother gets her roof reinforced to deflect random falling dumpsters.
Oh yeah, and Kornheiser has been added to the “people deserving of chop-blocks, if we had time for this shit” list.

I’ve never read Kornheiser so my empty threat of not ready him anymore is kinda moot. That doesn’t mean he’s not a fuckmook though.

I’ve hated Kornheiser ever since I learned his name was Kornheiser.
How can you respect a guy like that?

If you get the chance, check out the appropriately named documentary “The Aristocrats.” It’s about four dozen comedians’ take on the classic joke including George Carlin, Robin Williams, et. al. It’s one of those things that just when you think it shouldn’t be funny any more it gets even funnier.

I’m glad I never listen to, read, or watch Tony Kornheiser. It gives me a feeling of undeserved, smug superiority.

A comment from a UT fan following that Freeman article:
“. . . [M]ost charges are DUI related which is hardly a major crime. . . .”
Yeah. . .

as much as i despire fulmer (mainly for not being fatter than charlie weiss), freeman’s gone just a tad overboard here – tennessee’s legal problems pale in comparison to that glorious run texass made last august with 49 arrests in 3 weeks – mack brown thinks phil fulmer’s doing a god job, because mack brown knows that sometimes, bitches deserve to get kicked
and i really didn’t appreciate freeman’s shout-out to Barry Switzer – the King would never approve of a coach who goes long spans without winning the conference and only has one measly championship, so take that weak drankin’ and smokin’ nonsense out of his face and don’t come back until you’re moving federal weight and blasting uzis out of dorm windows
and while part of me is sad to see tx/txam move back to thanksgiving night since i had gotten used to waking up on friday to be greeted by texass failing miserably against aggy, another part of me is happy for my family, since drunkenly yelling our hatred of texass at thanksgiving dinner should provide the kind of family bonding we haven’t seen since we all rallied around cousin billy when he got popped for cooking meth

Tony,
It seems to me that attacking bloggers just isn’t smart.
We know photoshop better than you. And we don’t have network affiliates censoring us.

I had never read anything by that Freeman idiot until my friends emailed me the article yesterday to poke fun at my good guys in orange. In what world is that kind of tripe considered sound argumentative writing?

1) Fuck Mike Freeman (sincerely, Jacksonville FL)
2) Fuck Tony Kornheiser (sincerely, Jacksonville FL)
3) I want to learn Polynesian so I can comprehend when the Hawaii fans cuss the Swamp next season. “Holy Hell, it like sitting on row 90 of angry volcano. Who these rednecks are?!?”

re: tx v. txam back to Thanksgiving Day…that and the tryptophan laced turkey will ensure my unconscious bliss…along with the required excessive Maker’s Mark manhattans…Oh, and as a shout out to the Dead Kennedys…a Holiday in Cambodia might be synonymous with that vacation in laos…
re: Kornheiser…”Yo, Tony…keep your comic animals straight…that would be “naked mole rat”.” My kids would be aghast. Also, ever since his denigration of Jacksonville during its superbowl I have promised myself that someday, somehow I would urinate in his coffee cup.
re: Freeman, all you have to know about this guy is that if an issue can be twisted sideways and made unrecognizable, he can and will do it.

@ DevilGrad #8 – Dammit, you took the words right out of my mouth…er, keyboard….whatever. EDSBS may–just may–get me to start showing up to work on time.
As for that under armor commercial, does anyone else think that it isn’t such a stretch to see Ray Lewis on a fire escape doing tricep pulldowns with a 300-foot chain? I mean, if you looked out your window and saw that, wouldn’t you just say to yourself, “Damn, there’s Ray Ray, at it again!”

Sadly, the Kornheiser comments have been cleared up: http://blog.washingtonpost.com/dcsportsbog/2008/02/kornheiser_names_his_blogging.html#more. Looks like he didn’t mean you. Or anyone other than a single very boring blog.

I did not mind the Kornholio commments on bloggers. I like a good fight and it looks like there will be a ton of material on the way soon….can just imagine the photoshop images….
..but, what I do not get is how his wife lets him out of the house with that comb-over fiasco. A good rug, even a funny looking one, like Trump’s, is better than taking those three or four pubic-looking hairs and spreading them accross that dome……

You know you’re being effective when they start to bash you. If the media ignored all these bloggers…that’s one thing. But Bloggers are the next Gen of media and that worries them – thus, the negativity. Sounds like the record companies and mp3 downloads….

Does anyone else find it strange that this UnderArmor commercial contains a thinly veiled Dune reference? I mean, how hard can these guys be if they’re implicitly comparing themselves to Paul Atreides, Muad’dib?
