Deadspin
• We tried out the Media Approval Ratings.
• We were in Seattle, Oak Brook, Champaign and St. Peters.
• John Rocker on steroids. Really.
• How to bond in Ohio.
• ESPN was protested, kind of.
• We talked to the guy releasing all the Berman videos, and then we just posted them ourselves.
• Goodbye, Dennis Miller. Again.
• Dog show!
• Brady Quinn, offending his main fan base.
• Pitchers and catchers!
• Roger Clemens did wonders for his reputation.
That'll do it for us; we have a one day hiatus in New York on Monday before hitting the East Coast swing of Boston, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. next week. So we'll try to rest up. We are very proud to introduce a new member of the weekend rotation: It's Christmas Ape, from Kissing Suzy Kolber, joins our crew, so make sure to welcome as he pretends to car about the NBA All-Star Game. Have fun out there, and we'll see you Monday.

I see what you did there.

Eh...close enough for government work.
Free at last, free at last, thank god almighty, the Berman videos are free at last.
So I'm guessing the Philip Rivers will pass the douchebag torch over to Brady Quinn.
@This Name Sucks: He would, but Quinn would be afraid of touching Phil's hands. That would NOT be straight enough for him.
[door flies open]

What? Who gave you President's Day off?
Hi Dad. I need 20 bucks and I got a dent in your Suburban last night.
Sorry.
The freeze frame on the video of Berman looks like he totally has that drunken 2am pervert look going for him.
Christmas Ape? welcome!
So Rivers carries a torch for Quinn. I suppose that makes sense doesn't.
@supermike4ever: Seconded.
Just goes to show, Yinzer Blogger Equilibrium must be maintained. We lose TSW at Ladies..., gain the Ape as a Weekend Daddy.
Quick: remaking Three Men & a Baby, whose roles do Suss--, Unsilent, & Christmas Ape assume?
@Hank Scorpio: it.
@Hank Scorpio: So long as we're not talking Joan or Melissa.
Bring on NBA all star weekend. I can't wait to see Barkley drunk on TV.
@Rock You Like An Iracane: Prolly Rivers Cuomo. He did sing, "They say everyone's a little gay, why can't you be a little straight?" Could he be a little gay for BQ?
@supermike4ever: And here I thought your head would explode.
@josereyes: Yinzer Blogger Equilibrium? Does Len Pasquarelli know about this?
@josereyes.theroof had never seen somebody eat as many shroo...: River Phoenix?
One omitted apostrophe and some wonky subject/verb agreement.
@TheStarterWife: If he did, he'd eat it.
@TheStarterWife: eh it's kind of an inside joke.
Christmas Ape and I are actually old friends. we go waaayyyy back and we go waaayyyyy deep. he emailed me once!
Guys, let's gather around the DUANivision set and watch the debut episode of Friday's with Kige !
+ Watch video
@1980 David Bowie From The Music Video Ashes To Ashes: (dramatic voice-over) It was at that moment that Deadspin commenter MidwestCoastBias realized he had nothing left to live for if he stayed around and watched said video on a Friday night, and he quietly x-ed out the Deadspin screen and left his computer chair.
@supermike4ever: I'd like to see those Christmas cards.
@MidwestCoastBias: well, i'm still at work so I am wasting time watching it.
a few comments:
(1) he's got an awesome sliding multi-fold door into his "youtube sports" studio.
(2) Kige is apparently Billy Madison because the daily things in his life are elementary school, middle school and high school.
(3) this is just plain sad.
@Rock You Like An Iracane: I never talk Joan or Mellisa. Something tells me that a three way from hell.
Folks, I think I've found Deadspin's new hero in the sports world. [my.nba.com] Cannot wait to watch the HORSE competition tonight, and hopefully it moves to the NBA level soon.
@TheStarterWife: actually, i wrote to him asking if we could be friends.
of all the people i "argue" with on here, i really don't give a shit about any of them and couldn't care less about them. it's just games.
but, unlike the others, i do respect Christmas ape and - i THINK - he got upset that i made fun of his work and the work being done at KSK, not that I made fun of him, specifically. (i am now officially speaking for him, but that's what i think happened).
so i reached out to him to let him know that i was just making fun of KSK to be harmful but i actually like the site (but i won't comment on it). hopefully we're cool.
he sent me some pics of himself and i sent him an ecard and we've been emailing and iming and we plan on meeting for our first date next week! (this last graph may not be true)

Shit, D-League games are streamed live? Awesome!
@The Fan's Attic: Does anybody do a better unintended dramatic pause then Kige?
The we'll go to Thompson Elementary school... where I attended elementary school.
@supermike4ever: You're backing out?!
/sobs uncontrollably
@supermike4ever: It's a Christma... oh. Even hacky me cannot finish the joke.
@TheStarterWife: Technically I don't think it's a miracle until one of them is pregnant.
@Christmas Ape:
are we still meeting behind the BU Borders after The Editor of this Site's reading on Tuesday???
i got the amyl nitrates and the Peach Schnapps!
@supermike4ever: Perhaps we should remind the fine folks at KSK that Pats fans are good for some things, like finding websites with streaming NFL games.
@supermike4ever: you're not coming down to the DC one? Bummer.
@Hank Scorpio:
Is it me, or has Kige lost some of his luster? I used to be a huge fan, but now, it's just meh. I think it was the branching out to his personal life, I prefer my idols to be mysterious and aloof. Such is life...another dream dashed.
Is this DUAN? Im tardy. And Milano looks pretty nice - disease-infested but nice. Am I the only one watching this All-Star fiasco?
@supermike4ever: Sadly, me and my assortment of barbiturates can only make the D.C. reading. 'Twas never meant to be, I s'pose.
@lisa: Aloof is the key, as long as all you know of him is the sports you can pretend he's in on the joke. Once you get to see that his life is pretty much defined by low production quality it stops being funny. Well as funny, it's still funny just not as much.
We've had a lot of weekend daddies but this weekend daddy may be the best.
/my hopes are sky fucking high so don't fuck it up.
@Lady Andrea: no... sorry. that should be fun, though.
i'm pretty sure i won't be at the boston one either.
this comment is not funny.
@Christmas Ape: I demand that you be dressed as an ape.
I bet Kige gets so much pussy
@Fat-Fat: A.J. said he was sorry for forgetting you at the supermarket.
@Riddler:
I saw it. Stephen A. Smith is a "GM" of one team, and came down the line of players giving them high fives. Luckily, the ball they'll all be touching is orange as well.
/thinks cheesydoodle jokes are hack
@Chuckie Hacks 2 and 0: Yeah, but how many of them look like Kige with long hair?
chris tucker got fat
but he's still a funny motherfucker
@supermike4ever: They say the same thing about me.
@Hank Scorpio:
Ha. I guess the real question is 'would a Kige party draw more women than a GSTF book reading'?
