I’m clearly the outlier on this one — but I thought (and think) Beano is actually rather insightful on a number of issues.

Even in this interview he provides good analysis of the contract explaining the ability of NBC to get 7 home and one neutral site primetime games and the fact that (in his opinion) Notre Dame is likely to return to prominence. Judging by their weakening schedule and above average recruiting I don’t believe that’s an unjustifiable opinion — of course his assertion they could win a national title in 5 years is downright looney tunes.

That said, I really enjoy listening to Beano on the Herd or other ESPN programming and I think its too bad he’s become a punchline due to Powlus, fatness and oldness. If you actually listen to his analysis he frequently provides some decent insight assuming you can make it through the requisite “hey you, kid, get off my lawn” part of his diatribe.

If I was being interviewed by Steven A Smith, uh, I mean Mike Hill, I would ignore him as well. After the question about the NBA draft I bet they went on to discuss NaS’s new album. You have to take Beano with a grain of salt…some lime and a liter of tequila. 2 shots for all the Heisman Trophies Ron Powlus won.

SpartanDan- ah much easier when a sane human being explains it. I stand by my claim that Beano needs to be humanely euthanized because he is about as useful as the pit bull with heartworms that has been at the shelter for two weeks.

Somebody took Beano’s cane and hooked it on a ceiling fan. It is currently spinning round and round, far out of reach from his pudgy hands, which pisses him off. When Beano gets pissed, he eats an assload of meat, drinks a fifth of scotch and gets a hunkering to go on ESPN and talk about Notre Dame. ESPN cordially obliges, because Beano has all the nukes and isn’t afraid to fucking use them.

Damn this thread and the associations it’s forming in my head… touching pregnant women’s stomachs has got me thinking about a a Wings N Things platter from Zaxby’s to share with my dog.

Of course Alhver Fist or Gerry Dorsey will be around in a minute to calibrate the associations in my head to read, “Rub Zax’s sauce all over a pregnant woman’s stomach and make love to her Snoop style.

Hey swindle, thanks for getting me to Google “Swank Magazine” while I was at work.

Beano.
“Beano is a natural food enzyme dietary supplement that can help prevent gas before it starts.”

Ironic ain’t it?

Somewhere, silently, Auburn receiver Robert Baker sits and twists the ends of his sinister mustache with one hand, while carving the words “SWEET REVENGE” in his chest with the other…

Oh, and I should clarify for those who did not click on the link:

The touching of the pregnant woman, nice usage of vagueness, is not the same incident as the information regarding Lemon.

Lemon just allegedly beat the crap out of a guy in a separate incident.

And just to be clear, Coop, I think you may be conflating two separate incidents. Two players touched a pregnant woman’s stomach, a different player punched a guy five times at a BBQ for talking to the player’s girlfrind. Pretty big dstinction, I think.

#26 (Wes): That was seven *home* games and an eighth at a neutral site, all televised by NBC. Though I can understand why that wasn’t clear – after all, Beano’s so off his rocker that assuming he doesn’t know what he’s talking about is usually safe.

Yeah, like you never walked up to a pregnant woman, touched her stomach and asked how far along she was?

Of course, when you did it you weren’t a 320 pound offensive tackle in a darkened breezeway late at night, but still . . .
