LSU, National Champions of T-Shirt Hackery

Was “The Eyes of the Tiger are upon you” or “All the Horns of the wicked will be cut off” too much to ask?

Look, far be it of me criticize anyone’s celebratory mood after winning a National Championship in ANYTHING…have all the parades you want, carry off the victors on your shoulders, let the integral members of the team ride that winning gravy train all the way into old age, take a bow even, you deserve it…but seriously, don’t hack it up with the National Champs shirts.  Something dignified will do.  A nice picture of a baseball diamond with understated script and a nod to the team’s achievements?  Nope, its LSU fan we are talking about here.  These are the same people who rock this to sporting events. 

Corndogs, your lazy, ill-thought out hackery knows no limits.  Kudos

Remembering “Air II McNair”

July 9, 2009 · Leave a Comment

mcnair alcornWright Thomspon once again reminds us that the rest of us blogging/sports journo types amount to nothing more than a bunch of dick joke-writing novices in his literary presence with a great piece on how the State of Mississippi and those closest to Steve McNair during his college years as a mythical phenom are coping with his loss and the unfortunate circumstances therein.

We’re bored, its the summer, college football is in the barely viewable distance,  so why not regale you with the daily comedic stylings of Mr. Ron Bennington of the Ron and Fez Show (11-3 on XM 202).  Enjoy.

Caller: Saw Transformers the Movie, better than the first one.

Ron: Well, it’d have to be, right?

Pwning Up To Our Reputation

July 8, 2009 · Leave a Comment

In our ever-increasing quest to whore ourselves out at any and all opportunities, our derelict buddies over at Walk Off Walk asked us to submit their “Pwned Person of the Day”.  We obliged, with appropriate amounts outrage and race-baiting, of course.

Urban Meyer Kicks Puppies

July 7, 2009 · 1 Comment

urban meyerAnd he’s been the mastermind behind a covert terroist cell…and he once pushed an old lady down a flight of metal stairs…and he cuts all of the tags off his furniture even though he is prohibited to do so by law…and he won’t read any of the Twilight books because he thinks all vampires are a bunch of eyeliner-wearing pussies…and he hates asparagus, oh does he hate asparagus…and he is totally scared of Nick Saban…and he is totally leaving for Notre Dame after this year. 

Good to see blatant homerism smothered in a complete lack of unbiased journalism is already at peak levels in Alabama…and its only July.

What Steve McNair Left Behind

STEVE MCNAIR JR

Steve McNair Jr.

All the sorted details of his death and rampant speculation aside, Steve McNair leaves behind a wife and four young sons, including his oldest, Steve McNair Jr..  While not wanting to quantify a family’s loss with recruiting stars, its relevant to note that McNair Jr. is a highly sought after wide receiver from Hattiesburg, MS with offers from Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Southern Miss, Tulsa, and West Virginia.  In an interview this past May, McNair Jr. discussed how his father had helped him through the football maturation process.

Case of the Mondays

Woman of the Week: Gemma Atkinson.  Just reminding all of America that there were actually a few redeeming qualities to the Brits before we declared our independence.
  • Full coverage of the tragic death of Steve McNair. [The Tennessean]
  • More McNair, a Nashville hero. [FanHouse]
  • Its being reported that McNair was the victim in an apparent murder/suicide with his alleged 20 year old mistress, but let’s be honest, the mistress’ ex-boyfriend is more than a little suspect right now. [Deadspin]
  • Best and most inappropriate comment on the whole thing from the weekend goes to Kissing Suzy Kolber via their Twitter...”Steve McNair murdered…expected to start Sunday.” [KSK]
  • Well, that Wimbledon final was something wasn’t it. [Rumors & Rants]
  • A 4th of July hotdog eating contest…well, sort of. [Busted Coverage]
  • If college football personalities were also our American forefathers.  [Sporting Blog]
  • I wasn’t the only one who hated the new Transformers Movie, complete with gratuitous Megan Fox pictures. [WWTDD]
