You could live on it, but it tasted like shit...

There, fixed that for you.

]]> <![CDATA[Blogdome: As If It Weren't Bad Enough To Be A Pirates Fan]]> I have met Vitale several times now (I had first-row season tickets at Michigan State for 6 years). I don't always care for his announcing style and constant Coach K/Duke verbal fellating, but he is definitely a stand-up human being.

Met the guy at a Hooters promo event in Indy last year for the Final Four.

He had dealt with my cousin in regards to his work with Hooters, so I had a name to drop.

I approached him and told him who my cousin was. For the next hour he asked me every question under the sun pertaining to members of my family that even I had no idea about. He was about the best guy you could ever meet.

Plus his daughters go to Notre Dame, and anything is better than stomaching Jay Bilas and Billy Packer.

]]> <![CDATA[Blogdome: As If It Weren't Bad Enough To Be A Pirates Fan]]> Kelly Holcomb completed 26 of 43 passes for 429 yards and 3 touchdowns

Maddox finished the game with 30 of 48 completions for 367 yards and 3 touchdowns

Remember when the Browns made the playoffs?

Remember when KELLY FUCKING HOLCOMB was out dueled by XFL MVP Tommy Maddox?

Still the most baffling stat line for a playoff game ever. Seriously Kelly Holcomb somehow threw for 429 yards and lost. That's how bad the Browns luck is

]]> <![CDATA[Blogdome: As If It Weren't Bad Enough To Be A Pirates Fan]]> @Fantastic Bellows: I'll take May 10th. Plenty of time for the inevitable 3-18 start, followed by their annual May 'hope' surge of something like 12-2, which gets a nice Bob Smizik 'theyre on their way' column, followed by the typical take 1 game from every series for the rest fo the summer collapse.

But anyway, just curious.

I was listening to that and you are correct.

Morrison said he'd be a contender "in a month or two"

Meanwhile, back in Pittsburgh, we're all picking our days for the annual No Hope For A .500 Record pool. (If you haven't made your pick yet, be advised that every day in the months beginning with "J" have been taken. That includes January.)

Mike Honcho

]]> <![CDATA[Blogdome: As If It Weren't Bad Enough To Be A Pirates Fan]]> @quick: Yes.

Rob Iracane

]]> <![CDATA[Blogdome: As If It Weren't Bad Enough To Be A Pirates Fan]]> Serious question: how is Dick Vitale still on television? This is an honest question. I would take 5 hours straight of Marv Albert, Bill Walton, Joe Buck and Katie Couric curling coverage over 15 minutes of Dickie V basketball. I will turn games off because he's announcing. Does anybody like the guy?
