If you’re searching for a President to quote, the good news is you have 43 to choose from.

The bad news happens when you choose to paraphrase a quote from not only one of the most forgettable Presidents in American history, but from one of the darkest periods in the nation’s lore.

Enter Fred Glass. He’s Indiana’s new athletic director. Speaking at his hiring ceremony Tuesday, he said :

“We’re almost over the long, national nightmare, I hope, because our place is one that has always followed the rules”.

Maybe he deserves credit: At least he didn’t say “Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice …” well, you and W can fill in the rest of the joke.

Um, Mr. Brown? Line one is for you …

Our friends at the Who Dey Revolution propose a plan for Sunday’s soon-to-be Bengals’ loss to Jacksonville: Flood The Jerk Line (for those who don’t remember, here it is. Basically a number to call when someone is unruly … of course, the Bengals basically staffed it with one person initially, and the whole thing was a total failure. Who’d think the Bengals would plan something badly?).

Anyhow, the wesbite is dubbing this “Project Mayhem” (hopefully more succesful than Rush Limbaugh’s ill-fated one to nominate Hillary Clinton), asking everyone to call the jerk line (513-381-5375) during Sunday’s game and say “As a Bengals fan, Mike Brown is mentally and emotionally abusing me from his owner’s box”, then hang up.

Ok, we could think of a number of things more severe, but that will do for now.

In case you’re nostalgic, here’s the line from “Seinfeld”:

So you can’t understand how the Cincinnati Bengals, in a communistic NFL that basically allows everyone to win eventually, have lost year after year after year after year. Lucky for you, we break it down right here, right now.

Go to a Bengals game, see a sure loser, get your ass kicked

As if things couldn’t get worse for pro sports’ worst franchise.

According to The Cincinnati Enquirer, a guy named Randy Reed went to Sunday’s 38-10 Steelers debacle and, for lack of a better term, got sucker-punched by a Pittsburgh fan and knocked out. It’s made some big news, and the franchise’s response? No surprise: It’s sucked: Team offered him tickets to ANOTHER game.

Yes, the one that’s 0-7 and starting a biology professor at MIT at quarterback. Please, someone kill us.

Reed, 48, said he was “bantering” with Steelers fans (we’re assuming it was a bit more, but that’s his term), and got into an argument about Mike Brown (yes, apparently there’s one guy left defending king bozo).

“I said, ‘Yeah, well, at least he’s not selling the team,” Reed told The Enquirer. “You guys are going to be the LA Steelers!”. (We’ll again ignore the likelyhood of the latter part of the statement to finish the story).

Reed said the next thing he remembered was waking up in a security office covered in blood with a broken wrist in a cast, and other various cuts and bruises. The person or persons left, somehow eluding the vision of all 65,000 people at the game (perhaps all who’d drunk themselves silly watching the joke of a football contest). Read More »

I Guess They Celebrate Differently in Philly …

1 Comment | Posted by D-Fens October 14th, 2008 | Posted in baseball

Last night, 40-year old journeyman outfielder Matt Stairs rocked a two-run homer that all but guaranteed the Phillies a trip to the Series. But, for Stairs, the best part of the night wasn’t that jog around the bases. No, no, the fun didn’t really start until he walked to the dugout, dimmed the lights, slipped into something a little more comfortable, and let 24 of his closest friends prove that they’ve truly “got his back.”

From Stairs’ postgame press-conference:

“When you get that nice celebration coming into the dugout and you’re getting your ass hammered by guys — there’s no better feeling than to have that done.”

And the video:
