Gradulate. In case you’re one of three people on the planet who hasn’t watched it: Corrine Brown demonstrates why an education degree is really just tripling down on a high school diploma. Let’s pretend this never happened, except for the cape, which we crave envy and want want want. Mike Leach Makes a Pitiful Speed Bump of Tact. NFL coaches are horrible, but only Mike Leach has the balls and complete lack of affiliation with the league to go ahead and say it. In response to the “can Graham Harrell take a snap from under center” question, Leach said this. They’re words. They’re interesting. Read them.
“You bring up easily the most pitiful NFL cop-out of all…and you can send that message to the whole NFL. Any coach who has ever said or uttered those words or considers that a concern, here’s my message for them: How could you possibly look yourself in the mirror and consider yourself an NFL coach and not be able to teach a guy to run back three steps, five steps and seven steps? I can teach a child that! “Any coach in the NFL who can’t do that ought to be fired!” And Leach wasn’t done. “I can do that,” Leach said of teaching a quarterback to drop back. “I only need a three-hour window. I’ll have a great clinic for all the NFL coaches who are so horrible that they can’t teach a guy to take a snap under center and go backwards.” Thanks, coach! This will really help with recruiting top-notch quarterbacks, especially those who would like to enjoy some time in that league under the supervision of a few terrible coaches. Though he’s right: NFL coaches are terrible, and only get worse over time as sleep deprivation and poor heart function shear off their brain cells one by one. Bill Parcells, toward the end of his career, likely had a functioning IQ in the high 80s. (So did Barry Switzer, but at least those 80 points were devoted towards things like fun, ruining the Cowboys, and urinating in every more inventive public locations.) Raiding Public Records for Stories. UGA dismissed recruit Dexter Moody this past week, and public records watchdogging gets you the reason: foightin’! Sadly, he cannot blame his Irish heritage and St. Patrick’s Day festivities for the tussle. Sta Questions, Flame-Broiled. The most prominent of these being who will protect Tim Tebow’s blind side (besides Jesus) with the graduation of Jason Watkins. Come watch our shitty scrimmage. Boise invites all to watch what Chris Petersen describes as “ugly” football in their first scrimmage of the spring for the Broncos. |

And since when did Tebow have a blind side? That’s a joke, but the guy doesn’t exactly hang around in the pocket.

O, don’t insult Miss SC like that. She’s a harmless soph at Appy State, while Ms Brown is actually voting on matters of national security, which is damn scary and terrifying.
But that is one freakin’ badass cape. James Brown would be envious.

While the lack of functional english in a member of the US House of Representatives is bad enough. What really disturbs me is her constant referral to her WRITTEN PAGES OF TEXT while she butchers the english language. Was ‘gratulate’ and ’sportmanship’ written on that page?

I’d like the floor to recognize that the gentlewoman from Jacksonville received her bachelor’s degree from FAMU.
* The freudian slip of referring to the “BS…BCS” championship was classic though.

to the right honourable gentleman mr. swindle:
no . ..we cannot pretend this did not happen. a uf gradu-it got up before the u.s. house of representatives, wearing
an orange cape, and proceeded to maul, mangle, and massacre the english language. the gentle”lady” left her
mother tongue bashed and broken in a heap.
nothing has been beaten like that in congress since preston brooks caned charles sumner into unconciousness
in 1856 (except perhaps the truth from time to time). i remain,
sincerely,

While undoubtly true, it could certainly be viewed as an asset in one case and a “turribel” liability in the other…

The Sporting News blog begins, “US Rep Corrine Brown…” any article regarding the girl up at App begins, hot beauty contestant.
Totally the same.
Both unintelligent, but nobody in the Carolinas is electing the blonde to national public office.
Or, what yowyow said.

Considering that 10 years ago, Ted Kennedy couldn’t even get Michael Jordan’s name right, or for all of the times that Bush misspoke, this doesn surprise me at all.
That is why we need to drop the english language and go digital. Nothing but zeros and ones, baby.

Yes, Vol, the congresswoman is from the era that believed so long as you were speaking it mattered not what you said…like a very successful hostess I knew once proclaimed “Honey, so long as you give ‘em enough alcohol, you can feed ‘em shit and they’ll love it!” Mzzz Brown is successfully singin’ that tune to our continual embarrassment and her ever increasing profit…
