Marv Albert Meekly Denies the Fight with 50 Cent
1-liner, Fighting, Media Gossip/Musings, Music November 23rd. 2009, 10:25amMarv Albert – 50 Cent Fight: Last week, supposedly, Marv Albert and 50 Cent got into a dust-up backstage at the Jimmy Kimmel show. When the LA Times broke the story Friday, morning, the internet went wild. Albert did what all TV-types over the age of 40 do – he ran right to the largest newspaper in the country to offer a weak “nothing happened” denial. Nice try, Marv. You’ll be asked about this for the rest of your career. In an unrelated item, hey Hiestand, how can you casually drop the Bill Simmons twitter suspension into your column and make no reference to who broke the “story?” Even Rob King noted it was “in response to TBL.” That’s weak, Mike. About as weak as us being whining little bitches about it. [USA Today]

I heard about this the other day. Apparently some Jimmy Kimmel produce kept telling at 50’s people “Hey, that’s Marv Albert” and they had no clue who he was and so kept going after him.
Apparently fitty did not grow up watching the NBA on NBC.
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:38 am
TBL is angry today.
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:38 am
I think the biggest green egg is a grand.
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:39 am
So not only has 50 aliented all other rappers in the industry, he also alienated everyone in the NBA now.
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:39 am
I thought around 7 – 800?

I would agree if it was served by itself, however if it’s served with brisket or sausage or ribs, then it’s acceptable.

I’m not going to argue. Clearly, if you think ruining a perfectly good piece of beef by dousing it with sauce and rubs is acceptable, there’s no saving you from the coming revolution.

I’m not defending the south, we certainly fuck up our share of words. But don’t get all Duffy on us with this hoity-toity notion that people in the north somehow speak better. For every southern redneck you give, I can counter with a NYC cab driver.
