Obligatory Sports Babe
Today we have Melanie Collins, who back in October was a sideline reporter for the Big Ten network, and has since been scooped up by Turner Broadcasting, and will soon be seen on TBS, TNT, NBA.com, MLB on TBS and even NASCAR. I don't want to incur the wrath of the Globe's radical feminist William Houston, so I won't bother making any sort of sarcastic quip about how hard she must have worked to land such a great gig.
'Tis the Season For ... Inappropriate Comments?
The Detroit Lions are terrible, and this is pretty damn funny, but still maybe a bit much? No, it's pretty awesome. See, the daughter of head coach Rod Marinelli is married to defensive coordinator Joe Barry, and in the post-game press conference after another typically atrocious performance, Detroit News columnist Rob Parker, hilarious dude that he is, asked Marinelli if he "wishes his daughter had married a better defensive coordinator?" Gold!
'Tis The Season For ... Making A Man Pregnant?
An portion of an excellent rant at Fitted Sweats:
Yesterday at the Meadowlands in Mezzanine Section 212, a little Joe Pesci lookalike (minus about 25 years) who was cheering for the Buffalo Bills started turning around and yapping at a guy (who seemed pleasant enough) in a Jerricho Cotchery Jets jersey. The men were both seated in different rows in front of me.
I don't know what precipitated this event (the Cotchery guy could have been a monumental ass, but I didn't see it), but by some point in the middle of the second half, Little Joe Pesci turned around and challenged the guy to a fight. The guy merely laughed it off, which made Little Joe Pesci angrier.
How angry?
He called the guy a "F*ggot" about four times. Then he paused. Turned around. And then turned back towards the Cotchery jerseyed guy and said: "I'm going to get you pregnant. I don't know how it is going to happen, but you are going to be the first pregnant guy ever." (Um... not quite-- Ed.)
'Tis The Season For ... Revenge?
Look, it's truly horrible that a whole bunch of cats died in a humane society fire in Oshawa last week. I don't think there's a funny thing about that. Got it? But... um... the fact that the cause of the fire may have been mice? Come on, that's at least a little bit awesome, right?
'Tis The Season For ... Christmas Vacation
I'm sure you're well aware of them, but for fun, here are several excellent reasons why Christmas Vacation has managed to live on as the holiday classic. Reasons like this:
