    Hell yes, Bullard! We slackers in mid-90s H-town didn't call you the Grungemaster for nothin'! P.S. Motherfucker has one more championship ring on his finger than Barkley and Stockton put together. It's a shame we swapped him out for Pasty Pete Chilcutt before the second championship run.

    Did the NBA want me to hear this? I'm not interested unless this is something the NBA didn't want me to see/hear/read.

    He stopped doing his job, while the ball was in play, so he could yell at a ref.

    Where could an ex-NBA forward ever get such an outrageous idea?

    Bullard only watches 60 Minutes to see what brilliant insight Andy Rooney will have for us this week.

    But I guess heckling is totally cool ... as long as the headphones are off!

    This rule also applied to Radio

    This reminds me of the time, during the Tet Offensive, that Walter Cronkite lowered his microphone to yell directly at North Vietnamese Defense Minister Vo Nguyen Giap.

    If the Rockets would have taken that broadcasting deal with Cinemax, Bullard could have yelled the always hilarious and clever, "Get off your knees ref! You're blowing the game!"

    Anyone who's ever had a press pass knows that cheering is not allowed on press row.

    Vitale and Vern Lunquist must have missed that day in broadcasting school.

    It seems apparent that this process is done automatically, possibly by robots

    In response, I say I've seen a number of slimy and argumentative things over the years, but NFL's metanarratives really take the cake. Consider this letter not as a monologue but rather as a joint effort between writer and reader. Together we shall balkanize NFL's garrulous, simple-minded little empire into an etiolated and sapless agglomeration. Together we shall transcend traditional thinking. And together we shall lay the groundwork for an upcoming attempt to make some changes here. The tone of NFL's sound bites is eerily reminiscent of that of disgusting carpetbaggers of the late 1940s in the sense that NFL's expositions should be labeled like a pack of cigarettes.
