Too bad they werent as dismissive to their erstwhile Bulls expert when he was employed by the station.

Les Grobstein's huge hog is proof that God has a sense of humor, isn't it?

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

Bernstein is a miserable fucker. He hates everything. Sometimes he sounds like a 75 year old man.

We lose a lot of rights when we look the other way when it doesn't affect our lives or it isn't a cause we agree with.

When Dan talks about "his guy in Champaign," I like to imagine a soybean farmer in overalls, speaking in hushed tones in a pay phone booth. And every tip ends with "Remember, you didn't hear this from me. It would hurt Illini recruiting."

That's his act.

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

Don Tiny is a miserable fucker. He hates everything. Sometimes he sounds like a 75 year old man.

If he says the coach's name, will he immediately explode?

This is so stupid. Either tell the story or don't. If you need a 2nd source, Cronkite, you shouldn't have reported half the story to begin with.

Tuned in at 5:45. Why is Dan using his yokel voice to mock the Dolphins' announcers who commented on the sprinklers going off during the game? I don't think any other announcers would have reacted any differently than they did. It's kind of an unusual thing to happen during a game.

Yeah, but you're not quite 75 years old, right?

I figured the name Dan didn't want to say was Dave Doeren. When he equivocates like a bitch it's usually because he's being a good corporate stooge. He doesn't know shit about college football. No one is going to hire Petrino right away. I'd be very surprised if he got another job this fast. I've heard many pundits say he needs to do a year or two of penance before he becomes employable by an athletic department after the bullshit he pulled at Arkansas. And he'd never come to Illinois after his brother was shitcanned last year.

They both come from the same school of phony intellectualism- and I don't mean Duke or Syracuse. The major difference I see between the two is that Costas actually enjoys sports.

Brees wasn't the most egregious interview in the whole pregame, with master of sanctimonies Bob Costas facing off with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. For someone who I suspect has a giant wooden bed shaped like a horse, so he can climb high atop it and sleep the sleep of the just, dreaming of beautiful worlds where everyone understands things as meaningfully as he does, Costas certainly seems to quail in the moment. He let Goodell essentially filibuster each question for as long as he liked, citing untrue statistics about fan polling data and fan desires that so wholly inverted reality to his needs that he might as well have interrupted Bob and said, "White is Purple. By the way, I sell Purple and Purple accessories." Despite his insistence to feel morally important things at you during every broadcast, Costas abdicated most almost every opportunity to ask morally challenging questions.

This would have been a great platform for challenging Goodell, but the chance passed, in part because I think that Costas is ultimately a company man, and this is time for the company to celebrate football uncritically. Also, his ability to know better than others expands in relation to the diminished size of the target. He rarely seems to lecture his betters, instead looming over those with lower Q ratings and speaking truth to the disempowered. This doesn't mean to trade in size metaphors or references to Little Man Syndrome. Rather, it's hard to shake the memory of that incendiary, iconic Bissinger-Leitch confrontation on Costas Now, where Costas again shrank in the moment and let a Pulitzer Prize winner ludicrously berate — via apples-and-oranges comparison — a lowly blogger. That the conversation was ostensibly about journalistic civility was the only thing that made it funny.

"There are...a lot...of things...going...on...in Chilo Rachal's...life."
"Like what."
"...I...can't say."

if abbatacola had any balls he'd do a B&B SPORTS UPDATE and have each one start with THE SCORE'S TERRY BOERS REPORTS that there are a lot of things going on in Chilo Rachal's life, but he can't say what they are"

instead, we all are contractually obligated to lick his asshole clean for his SNL-caliber same-joke-over-and-over-and-over-sledgehammering on the sports minutes because he stammers, reads wrong, and makes stupid points. the first one or two were amusing, but now they're utterly pointless.... i let dan's fake/forced jackass heehaws throughout the whole thing do the laughing for me.

Up too late reading the Mr. Destructo archives...

The menstrual cycle changes among Hassidic Jewish women was something as well.
