hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha oh man

:)

"Black kids will love him because he's shown that lazy people can be successful! Wait that's not what I meant, what I meant to say was that his laziness is something black kids will find awesome because they can use it as an excuse not to do any work. I'm not really expressing myself well here, am I?"

i wish i could find this column scoop wrote about like "watching sports with the guys" that was the most unreadable, one-sentence-paragraph-hell piece of shit ever.

it's not this, but this appears to have a good wtf factor: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=jackson/090707

1:00 p.m.: Shaq tweets: "Sry cnt mk it. Bk in lab w/Fu-Sniks."

some of the comments are magical:

Hey scoop, why don't you just list every athlete that you can think of off the top of your head and number them 1-200? What is the point of us having to read a fantasy bbq story about things we know and don't care about. My real July 4th BBQ stories would make a better column than this junk and I'm a deaf-mute who talks in sign language and is illiterate. ESPN, please get someone with some substance to write about something with a great idea instead of regurgitated garbage like this. The better story would have been CHris Berman and Jaws doing a play-by-play about the new cameraman getting hypnotized by STuart Scotts lazy eyes. Scoop Jackson, you're fired!

Fantasy football is for suckas.

I never understood the point in fantasy football. It's not that I have a problem with the theory of "fantasy" football, I just have a problem with calling millions of people doing imitations of Charlie Casserly "fantasy."

...

So I gathered five women I've known over the years who happen to be sexy football aficionettes. They're John Claytons in Taraji Henson and Scarlett Johansson shells. None of them knew each other, but for years in many separate discussions, games, events and occasions, I've learned the level at which they love the game. But they've never been in the same room at the same time until now.

Alone with them? Me? Three hours? Talking nothing but football?

So to all you "fantasy" football fanatics, you can have your fantasy. I got mine.

I'd rather read twenty Scoop Jackson articles than one by Gregg Easterbrook.

this thread made me think of this song fwiw

ok now favre is claiming he has a "cracked rib" despite no one on the vikings seeming to be aware of this injury. decided you don't like the preseason, then, brett?

^^^this was super-hilariously + deadpan-ily reported by the blonde lady on nfln. i like her.

i <3 the sportscenter commercial with the umass minuteman.

when i had a cracked rib from soccer, i thought i was going to die just by inhaling a cigarette too hard. if mario williams pile drived me, i probably would not have jumped straight up to my feet and went back to play, with my cracked rib. just sayin'

that's what i always hear about rib injuries. best to assume everything you hear about him is a lie.

he's like the sarah palin of being a qb, basically.

wow that is so true

you guys caught the MNF pre-game in which tirico and jaws started repeating the story that favre's pulled out of his ass recently about how he played badly for the jets because he didn't realize he was being traded to them and therefore was confused and learned the wrong offense, because he thought tampa was the team, and gruden basically declined to comment, because, you know, hey, hard to just say straight up "dude is full of shit" on live tv i guess...? it's just...weird, i mean obviously no one in the league is holding his jets stint against him, so why fuss about it?

"Believe me, I hope [Wilson is] OK," Favre said. "I hope it didn't look as bad on film as it may have seemed but my intentions, believe me, were not to hurt anyone, including myself. . . . Believe me, my intentions were not to be cheap. . . . I'll be 40 years old in October and was weeding 13 days ago. I wasn't thinking about throwing blocks."

BELIEVE ME

I am really enjoying the sea change of opinion about Favre. It seems like everyone hates this dude now.

well.

it was better. everything looked a little more in synch...almost makes me wonder how we would look if a certain someone had actually BEEN IN CAMP but tevs.

in other news:

ADRIAN PETERSON IS STILL GOD. recognize. what an awesome dude, it pisses me off that favre is now the "face" of the vikes, esp when we have such rad dudes on the team.

favre hit a bunch of checkdowns, looked like a more mobile brad johnson. there was the one time he just fell (preseason i guess) in the face of oncoming pressure, and one real sad-looking deep ball.

he actually threw a great ball to the corner of the endzone that harvin should have caught...harvin was a little disappointing made a lot of mistakes.

this season is on some fucked up cognitive dissonance shit, just looking at him in that helmet is never not going to be weird

yeah that wasn't a bad pass. agree w/you harvin has a ways to go, but a lot of young wrs are the same way.

yeah i mean he's crazy fast you can see the talent...there was just some rookie stuff like he caught this little out pass and ran the route wrong, he stopped a yard before the first down marker like he just didn't know where it was...still i'm excited to have him, esp considering we can sort of use him in situations and aren't depending on him to be a main weapon or superstar right out of the gate

this season is on some fucked up cognitive dissonance shit

don't do this! When Mangini joined the Browns I drank deeply from the pitcher of Kool Aid. I refuse to let my football season be ruined.

Still trying to lower expectations:

"I feel good," Favre said, elaborating in his familiar wounded-warrior style. "I'm not going to lie to you. I'm not physically or mentally 100 percent. I don't know at 39 if I'd ever be 100 percent physically."

who the fuck else would get away with saying stuff like this???

Favre also revealed he asked Childress to let him address his teammates “from the heart” on a number of subjects, a 10-minute speech he gave in the meeting room on Monday.

“I wanted the guys to know where I stood, and what I was here for,” Favre said. “Sort of the timeline of what happened, and things like that.”

Teammates expressed appreciation of his effort.

“He gave his apologies for all the commotion that was caused, even though it might not have been intentional by him,” tight end Visanthe Shiancoe(notes) said. “The frenzy, he apologized for the frenzy.”

Reactions varied on whether it was necessary. Shiancoe said it was.

“There was questions on everybody’s mind. I’m pretty sure it was different questions. He pretty much answered everybody’s questions. Cleaned up everybody’s wonders,” Shiancoe said.

<3 "cleaned up everybody's wonders"

I read that headline as "Steak will not influence him, Favre says"

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4462072

"I was receptive to [sitting] last year," Favre said during a news conference. "When we finally did an MRI and found out I had a torn biceps last year, I felt like, with about four or five games left, that even though I was making some pretty good throws and some decent plays, I felt like I was doing the team more harm because I was missing on some throws."

Favre said that at the time, he addressed the situation with Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum, offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, and Brian Daboll, then the quarterbacks coach who is now the offensive coordinator with the Cleveland Browns under Eric Mangini.

"Teammates expressed appreciation for his effort"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Favre, who turns 40 in four weeks, still got hit six times in Cleveland (including four sacks), but he did manage to stay out of the way effectively and help the Vikings to a 34-20 win over the Browns. "I had a lot of fun today,'' he said afterward.

the sad thing about ally's second post on this thread is that most of those guys are no longer having fun whereas brett favre just keeps on fun-truckin'

Funuckin?
