Continuing with our Sports Announcer theme this week, I dug this up on Youtube from a few years ago. Its an oldie in today’s age but a damn goodie that you might have missed. The moment of silence is classic.
In case you’re wondering, yes, the guy (Brian Kinchen) who said “Caressing the ball…” etc. Then calling himself out with the “That’s kinda gay”" did get kinda fired suspended and later quit for this. ESPN, the most politically correct, free speech-killing network ever.
Their slogan should be “It’s always 1984 in Bristol!”
Dan Patrick wants Keith Olberman to Bring Back the Porn ‘Stache
I was glad to see some true professionals taking over NBC’s Sunday Night Football…some of the announcers these days drive us here at PJ crazy. The only problem is NBC is having absolute overkill with the staff, (more on that later). Olberman hosted a spot last year on Sunday night, but wasn’t the focus of the show by any means. It appears he and Dan Patrick, ESPN Sportscenter partners between 1992 and 1997 will once again be paired up.
Olberman and Patrick will join a crowded host-house of Cris Collinsworth and to a lesser extent Bob Costas that also includes analysts Jerome Bettis, Tiki Barber and reporter Peter King. So, 3 main hosts in Patrick, Olberman, and Collinsworth (who I personally can’t stand half the time…but at least he has the balls to be negative) with the rest being the sideshow. Tiki Barber somehow has become the voice of NBC doing the Today show as well. He should be embarrassed that he left the game only to see his compadres win a title a year after his departure. If I were him, I’d quietly slip into the shadows and go away for a while. Do we really need The Bus? Who’s going to get a word in edgewise on this show?
Also, Inside The NFL is back as well…but on, sigh, Showtime. Who can afford to tack on Showtime with the cable and satellite companies putting it in our asses already for HD and everything else? To boot, James Brown, Phil Simms and Cris Collinsworth (yeah, again) will host this show and a fourth person to join them with the announcement expected later in the week. I hope its Dan Marino, so at least we get the chance to see this sort of behavior again.
Clinton Portis is hilarious. The NFL Network had a contest of sorts you can participate in where he will show up in costme at a press conference after a game this upcoming season.
My vote would go to his UFC fighter Budd Foxx who is 0-17, weighs 220 and fights at 115. Special move? Cracking fingers. The guy’s neck is monstrous!
Dr. Do Itch Big which apparently stands for Dr. Do It Big makes amazing custom grills like Marshawn Lynch’s Beast Mode (right) and claims he also made Strahan’s gap!
Look at Michael Strahan get down with Alicia Keys. I wonder if the gap is behind his vocal harmonics? Could be his secret. Hey, Madonna has a gap, too. Now that he’s not playing any longer he can bet on the Super Bowl, even though the NFL odds for the Giants won’t be as good without him in the fold.
That may be from Dumb and Dumber, but the same applies to the moniker “Pac-Man” that will be harder to shake than a case of the crabs from a stripper in Vegas.
I took over here after a long hiatus during Pac-Man’s suspension. I managed to visit his old haunts of “scrip” (strip) clubs, casinos and clubs around America…toured his now foreclosed house in suburban Nashville and when I got really bored, I broke out the Monopoly board and took all the play money out and made it rain on myself just for old times sake.
Now that the new “Praying for Don Imus“, squeaky clean version of “don’t call me Pac-Man” Jones is back and ready to start camp for the Cowboys. He claims its because there’s so much negativity behind it, he just wants to be Mr. Jones like the Counting Crows song goes…well, it ain’t “Mr. Jones and Me” around these parts you bastard. We are gonna need to cue up Prince and Purple Rain for the “Cornerback formerly known as Pac-Man”. You’re going to kill my site, don’t you understand how Google works Adam?!? Go ahead and be Adam for a while, but you’ll always be Pac-Man here.
