"Urine trouble: Baylor assistant relieves self on bar"
2007-10-16 14:25:00
So, apparently working for the largest Baptist University in the world doesn't mean that you are above public urination or horrible football coaching. According to ESPN.com via ajreina@gmail.com / Iron Man Blog ... WACO, Texas -- Baylor University suspended an assistant football coach indefinitely after he was cited for urinating on the bar at a tavern, coach Guy Morriss said, according to the Houston Chronicle. Eric Schnupp, Baylor's offensive line/tight ends coach, was not arrested but was issued a citation at 2:20 a.m. Sunday for disorderly conduct-reckless exposure at Scruffy Murphy's, Waco police spokesman Steve Anderson said.Bartender Danny Severe said in Tuesday's editions of the Waco Tribune-Herald that the incident happened around closing time and that Schnupp apparently thought no one was watching him as employees were moving patrons out of the building. Severe said an employee witnessed Schnupp urinating on the bar, and a manager told police officers who were there for a ...

Bigger Tool: Joe Theisman or Al Michaels??
2007-10-15 23:40:00
It is going to be a close call, lets do some analysis...First in the tool bag is this man, Joe Theisman.Recently, Joe Theisman said the following about the new ESPN Monday Night Football announcing crew...[MNF] “become a three-hour Tony Kornheiser show. When I was let go, they explained they wanted more of an issue show and less about football. They’ve accomplished that.”OK! We get it Joe, you are mad and bitter because a non-athletic, yet smart and witty personality "stole" your NFL announcing gig that you were never actually any good at doing. I don't know which is more pathetic, that you are still handing out cheap shots and complaining about your former colleagues who out-performed you at every possible moment or the fact that you being a former NFL star quarterback couldn't even prevent you from losing your job to someone who has never played an NFL down and is that much more knowledgeable about the game than yourself. Next... Underneath Theisman in the tool bag, one will ...

Ridiculous article in the Onion: "I Can't Stand It When Jews Talk During Movies"
2007-10-15 16:59:00
OK, I don't know if this letter is real or not, but it is from the Onion (Onion Opinion section) from back in 2005 and it is written by a lady named Dana Healy. I'm not sure if it is something they stumbled upon and just found it too ridiculous not to post or if it is one of their writers doing a satire, either way it is quite ridiculous and funny.Also, fortheloveofsports.blogspot.com doesn't necessarily condone or agree with any of the following opinions.This is Dana Healy, by the way:Sweet huh?Here is her opinion, via The Onion:Do you have a pet peeve—some little thing that drives you completely bonkers? For certain people, it's the sound of a Jewish person dragging her fingernails across a chalkboard. For others, it's when Jews don't signal before making a turn. Me? I can't stand it when Jews talk during movies! Last Friday, I knocked off early from work and headed to the multiplex to catch The Pacifier. Sure enough, as soon as the lights go out, a pack of Jews waltzes in a ...

Winslow vs. Porter
2007-10-11 16:01:00
And the girly feud continues... and we all know that Kellen Winslow is a "f*****' soldier man.""He's a receiver, really," Joey Porter said. "He's not a tight end, because he's not going to block anybody. If you ask me who's going to win the Joey Porter-Kellen Winslow battle: Me."On Thursday, Winslow shot back -- kindly."I think Joey Porter needs a hug," Winslow said, smiling. "He's so angry, man.""It really hasn't been a war," Porter said Wednesday. "It's been one-sided. I've never lost to him. It's like me picking on my little brother."Now Winslow... "I'm not into the individual-battle thing," he said. "It's a team thing. We're 2-3 and they're 0-5 and we're looking for a win. He doesn't have to worry about me. He should be worried about the team concept. They're 0-5 right now."AWWW SNAP!"I'm sure he will," Winslow said. "The only reason I did that [offer the handshake] last year was to give our team some confidence and get them going a little bit. But again, I'm not ...

Dear Chicago Cubs Fans: WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
2007-10-05 16:22:00
Who are the cubs going to blame next? It is so sad that this year the Chicago Cubs fans don't have Steve Bartman to blame for playing horrible in the MLB postseason. But, they do have Lou Pinella. I love it that Cubs fans always feel the need to blame one individual for how their team collectively blows the opportunity to win a World Series championship.Lets go back to the Steve Bartman situation. Any fan would've done the same thing. Wouldn't you? And would Moises Alou have even caught that notorious foul ball. Also, I'm not sure if anyone remembers those horrible errors made by the Cubs right after that, that would've ended the inning and probably sent them to a World Series. Oh yeah, wasn't it game 6, not the final and deciding game 7? For all of that, Steve Bartman had to experience one of the biggest self-tragedies in history (that's right, not just sports history) and has had to change his identity among other things because of crazy asshole baseball fans who aren ...
