Brian Orakpo is most certainly a member of the High Holy Chosen Guard of the Blood God. Other members of They Who Are His In Bloodiness include Rickey Jean-Francois, Chris Long, Vernon Gholston, and insert-2006-Florida-DE-here.

I’ve been screaming “BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD” over on WLA for two weeks now that the UM-OSU game draws nigh, btw. You can only be in the presence of such plebes for so long before the righteous bloodlust comes over oyu.

both Holtz pieces are incredible in plausibility. I could buy a young pre-doctorate Lou killing a revered Socialist figurehead with a sharp object. And I can easily imagine Dr. Lou trying to fill in the Times crossword on a Sunday morning, but can figure out why none of his words fit.

I almost read that Holtz feature as “Crotchword.” God help us if Lou ever is responsible for a Sudoku.

Define “Most striking journalists.”

On second thought, don’t.

I noticed this interesting headline from the BBC – Bone marrow ’cures HIV Patient.

I think we all KNOW where that bone marrow came from.

We really meant “striking” as in “you will want to hit yourselves, not in a sexy way”, so be sure and surround yourselves with soft objects before perusing.

Will it come with a football phone? I hear that’s a great promotional item.

#27, The ring is probably something like “Hey there, boy, answer my damn phone already!” And if it’s lunchmeat, it better be grade B bologna.

Guys, Holly is probably still drinking away painful memories of a loss to Wyoming. On homecoming.

Spare her the “I’m-twice-your-age-and-getting-my-internets-mack-on” routine for once.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the tense and delicately veiled sexism current already running through these comments, but…

But when it comes to the weight loss ads, why do we get NAKED guy and FULLY CLOTHED girl?

How much do I have to pony up to make this happen, O? The thought of Pam Ward…mmmm….positively narcoleptic

If you started this magazine, you would have to purchase a football grotto, and that would be sweet. You could even have a coast-to-coast chain of “EDSBS Players’ Clubs.” So many possibilities.

by Brian on Nov 13, 2008 1:40 PM EST reply actions  

I’m really confused as to why we don’t have a grotto already. We could use it as a giant cooler.

by Holly on Nov 13, 2008 1:43 PM EST reply actions  

If I pay now for 12 breathingly amazing issues, do I get my choice of EDBS jorts or EDBS coozie?

Hooded sweatshirt

Hooded sweatshirt

C’mon baby hooded sweatshirt!

by PeayHog on Nov 13, 2008 2:15 PM EST reply actions  

Holly @ 39 – because if you use the grotto as a cooler you have to have a special waiver from the Health Department for visits from tOSU fans. And there’s always the risk of finding Matt Leinart reliving the glory days with 5 barely-legal groupies somewhere in the back. Really, it’s not worth the trouble.

I, for one, cannot wait for the Buzz Bissinger profile of Jon Tenuta, “Eyes Eyes Hit Them On The Rise”. Surely this is in the works…

How about Mark Mangino as the first centerfold? Just sayin…

by Touchdown74 on Nov 13, 2008 3:01 PM EST reply actions  

#45, a centerfold featuring the heavies of the college football world. Or the daily caloric intake of a lineman. So where do we send money to make this happen?

by Anonymous IV on Nov 13, 2008 3:16 PM EST reply actions  

As a proud post-victory exhibitionist, I volunteer to be the first centerf . . . wait, where’d everybody go?

As for Taint magazine, nothing they ever did was as incisive or down-and-dirty as this special report from “The Daily Show” —

Hilarious. +1 Okiedomer.
What scared me about the inclusion of ‘stunning nude pictorials of striking journalists’ is I took that as Orson talking about himself, not good looking women. The baby devil outfit he superimposed his face on freaks me out enough.

Although I’m sure the articles would be great and all, if history is any indicator of the future I’d probably just let the three-page centerfold flap open every time and never actually get around to reading.
