Bob Griese Adds A Little Spice (Probably Cumin) To Ohio State-Minnesota Broadcast

Weed Against Speed — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 13:40:55 EDT

You guys have been lighting up the tips box reporting how Bob Griese made a completely ignorant statement regarding Juan Pablo Montoya, and given the amount of people stating they heard it, it has to be true.

Replying to colleague Chris Speilman's inquiry regarding Montoya's absence from the top 5 rankings in NASCAR, Griese promptly responded something along the lines of "he's out getting a taco."

Now, you don't need me to tell you how stupid that comment is - Montoya isn't even Mexican - obviously as a Colombian, Montoya was probably out dealing cocaine.

Kudos To The NBA Draft Seating Arrangement Planner

"Rick Pitino eventually sat in his seat while John Calipari... avoided his, which meant no awkward photos, and no opportunity for Kentucky fans to create Photoshops of him putting his feet in Pitino's hair." [SI]

It's Close To Midnight And Hichori Morimoto Is Lurking In The Dark

Here is Hichori Morimoto of the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters accepting his Japanese Pacific League Golden Glove award. (Umm... back row, second from the left.) Just a word from the wise, Morimoto: Maybe stick to the performance art stilts and Martian or Conehead costumes. They're much less racisty, you know?

Colleen Bellotti Is In Tents

Unsilent Majority — Sun, 28 Oct 2007 17:46:22 EDT

Colleen Bellotti-who may or may not be the First Lady of Oregon football-laid in to the Oregonian's John Canzano at Saturday's game, and she didn't care who was around. Canzano had written some uncomfortable stories regarding Bellotti's son's DUI, which is pretty odd, considering he's also a member of the team. The columnist kept the account out of the print edition (where the old people might see it) and put it straight on the blog.

She leaned in, grabbed by my suit lapel, and lit into me with a string of expletives, asking me if I have children, and telling me, "This is going to come back on you tenfold." And she threatened to slap me, which I thought was not such a nice example to set in front of the kiddies.
I told her that it played especially poorly to me that she would approach me in the press box, with a strong smell of alcohol on her breath, hissing and spitting mad, talking to me about alcohol abuse.

Then, the nanny, still holding the toddler, unleashed a foul-mouthed tirade.

"Nice nanny," I said.

Something tells me this is going to get worse before it gets better. Now I really want to see them in the National Championship. Just think of all those open bars, they're sure to run-in to each other.
