Upon talking to Theismann, Kimmel clarified his Monday night crack: "I was not making fun of Joe Theismann. I was just making everyone else in the booth uncomfortable."

Theismann admitted he was watching "CSI" at the time of the controversial quip, but said he got a chuckle of it when he heard about it afterwards. Joe also made a correction to Kimmel's comment, saying, "The steam was coming out of my nose, not my ears."

See, now there's something else they have in common: They both made everyone uncomfortable while in the "Monday Night Football" booth. Maybe Kimmel can use Theismann has a strike-breaking writer. Sure, Theismann didn't cross the picket line during the NFL strike, but hey: Times is tough.

This led to the noble notion and glorious incident of having CSTB's headline A Warning To The Rest Of The Association : Run Up The Score On Milwaukee, Get Punched In The Cock splashed right there on ESPN's NBA Local page. Frankly, we've always felt the word "Cock" was sorely lacking from ESPN's NBA coverage, particularly when Tim Legler is talking. We thank CSTB for its blog roll service and thoroughly endorse the site for a position at Page 2, but if only they can keep saying "cock."
