We Three Jerks
Thursday, 20 November 2003
Eat it with Hollandaise Sauce
I'm sorry this post is so inside, but I couldn't resist. I'm speaking to two specific jerks: You've probably forgotten about this, but over the past couple of months I've made two statements that both of you have summarily refuted. Now, your comeuppance.

First, I said that Al Michaels would be the lead announcer for ABC's coverage of the NBA. I was told that although ESPN does cover NBA games, ABC does not. Well, I'm right and you're both wrong. By the by, I'm so glad Michaels and Madden are working together. Not because it necessarily improves the production of Monday Night Football, (that will always depend on the quality of games) but because now Michaels is finally paired with someone who's as good at their job as he is at his. I mean, Dan Dierdorf, Dan Fouts, Boomer Esiason? Come on

Next, I asked whether TCU deserved a BCS bowl bid if they won out. I was told that, seeing as they would have to win the Big XII championship and in the process defeat No. 1 ranked Oklahoma, winning out would guarantee them a BCS bid. NO, YOU'RE WRONG. TCU plays in Conference-USA.

Well, that's two for me, jerks. And yes, I did remember these slights, and I did spend time proving that I was right. Why? Because I'm a petty, petty man.

Now, to go find some pics of Gravedigger.

I got a little carried away with this. I actually like Dierdorf. He's not as good as Michaels, but I shouldn't have included him with Boomer and Fouts. He is, however, better than the lead guy on his current network (CBS), Phil Simms. In fact, he's paired with Dick Enberg. That's your marquee team right there, buddy. But what do I know? Oh wait, that's right. Everything.

Was TCU ever in the Big 12? I think they were in the old Southwest, and I just figured they went with the rest of the Texas teams. I don't like Michaels doing the NBA. The only guy who should be oing the NBA on network TV is Marv Albert. YES!

Not much to say lately, as I have been up to my ears in LEGO controversy. Without warning, LEGO has replaced 4 of its colors, enraging a lot of nerds.

TCU lost to Southern Miss Thursday night, so this whole thing is pretty academic. Although the fact remains that you guys were wrong, wrong, wrong.
