LOL...'We didn't do that.' Hahahaha. This is a 'pay-no-attention-to-the-man-behind-the-curtain' moment. What a bunch of limp-wristed Libs at MSNBC. What a laugh, that the chief of MSNBC has the seeds to point the 'Bias!' finger at some other network. I laughed so hard that milk came out my nose...and I didn't even drink any. This rodeo clown really needs to find a way to boost his network's anemic ratings.
WWMD = What Would Monkeys Do?
Boogity, Boogity, Boggity...Let's go shootin' Boys!!
And the team STILL won't win the MLS Cup. They are the Buffalo Bills of MLS.
I say send Sharpton and Jackson there to cause a ruckus. There ought to be a firing squad over in China that can take things from there.
Whoever wins the Tour from now on will be laughed at, and mocked. The body of evidence is such that the sport is forever tainted. 'Forever' is not an exaggeration.
A little Photoshop (just a little) and he'd look like one of those retarded Guidos. Now...just purse those lips. Therrrre...that's it!
The joke's on Scott: If ever there were a poster-child for a Title IX hire, he's it.
My sock drawer is second-from-the-top in my bureau. I bow to you.
Why would a guy so hung up on his legacy pretty much sabotage it with this charade? I agree 100% with the comment (#2) by Napoleon's Battle Plan, who also can't fathom how this helps his legacy. And it's not just this year! Didn't Favre play this whole 'Will-He-Or-Won't-He?' game last year, too? I haven't lost all respect for Brett, but enough so that he'll be remembered by me for this rather than almost anything else he's done on the field.
Oh boy...now I can't wait for Tony to start up with the 'utter illegitimacy of Blogs' nonsense. :::roll eyes:::
Liberals are unhinged about this because they know that good parody and satire has an element of truth. It has to, in order to work. The fun of it all is guess which parts are true: The flag in the fireplace? The portrait of 'their hero' above said fireplace? The fist-bump? The afro-gun-toting-american-hating Michelle? This is a marvelous story!
He didn't utter the perfunctory 'Don't You Know Who I Am?' that media 'professionals' are famous for?
Dan Shaughnessy: "Hello, ESPN? This is Dan Shaughnessy of the Boston…"
ESPN: "We know who you are, Dan. Believe it or not, Blogs reach all the way down here to Connecticut."
Shaughnessy: "Hmmm. Well, the reason for my call is to see if I could guest-host your afternoon countdown show, you know, while your better hosts are on vacation."
ESPN: "We get calls and letters from your kind all the time, Dan. Newspaper sports hacks that need some other ship to jump onto because their Titanic is sinking. They need a life preserver and they think ESPN is it."
Shaughnessy: "Well, I wouldn't characterize it quite like that…"
ESPN: "Why not? Everybody else does."
Shaughnessy: "So do I get the gig?"
ESPN: "Oh, OK. Report here on Wednesday the 9th of July"
Shaughnessy: "Thank you, Master. Thank you!"

I prefer to think that they just got 25% less scary.
Racial discord will only heighten if Obama gets elected; muckrakers like Sharpton and Jackson will see to it. The last thing they want is for the 'American People' (trademark applied for) to feel that racial equality has arrived at the station just as Obama did. Jackson and Sharpton have their hate-based, racially-charged engines to keep going. Of course they will try to take Obama's supposed smooth orbit and wobble it a bit. It's what they do. It's what they do.
I've always felt that 99 bucks was more than I wanted to spend for something that might be obsolete yet take up a full wall. Not cool. But thank heavens FatHead has a 'CLEARANCE' bin for all those 'obsolete' graphics of players who have been traded or have otherwise morphed from superstar to the butt of a joke. Again, $99 for a 7-foot wall-mounted punch line is not the best way to spend the money. I am intrigued, though, about a Ryan Newman NASCAR Dodge. Yeah, it's 'obsolete' (not the COT design) and probably a year or two late in the graphics department, but, hey, it announces my NASCAR allegiance and only one out of every 59 people coming into my Man Cave will even recognize that what they are seeing is an antique. I might go for this, especially when it's only $19.95.
Hahaha @ reference to Ron Borges. That would be the thoroughly disgraced & dispatched former Boston Globe writer, for all of you wondering who he is and why on earth anyone would bring him up in conversation.
Originally I thought that the Boston Bruins and New York Rangers were going to square off at the soon-to-be 'old' Yankee Stadium in early 2009, but that didn't come to pass for one reason or another. I think these events are magnificent drama, because they almost transcend the actual teams and cities playing. As a Boston fan, I was captivated by the Buffalo-Pittsburgh game earlier this year when--under ordinary (read: indoor) circumstances I'd have no reason to be.
Hah! This is so MINT. A newspaper gets kneed in the groin by blogs they seek to destroy. You cannot measure the disdain newspaper writers have for blogs...whether it's Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles, or anywhere in between. Ron Borges (ex-football writer for the Boston Globe) is mixing cream-filling for Yodels now after being dispatched to the Land of Misfit Sports Media Hacks by a blogger. I do champion blogs over the 'esteemed and haughty' sports media cabal simply because, well, they purport to be 'esteemed and haughty.' That's pretty much reason enough right there.
