Classic Mitch Albom F-Bombs
Media Gossip/Musings May 23rd. 2008, 2:45pm
The setting: The Media room at the Garden Tuesday night after the Celtics outlasted the Pistons in game one of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Detroit Free Press columnist Mitch Albom was feverishly working on his column to beat deadline. (Here’s the finished product.) Some media members had gone over to the Flip Saunders press conference, but many remained, pecking away at their computers in the large, spacious room. Albom’s cell phone rings. Multiple sources confirm to us that Albom opened it up and barked: “The column’s coming! Don’t fucking call me! You hear me!” He then hangs up.
The five people Mitch Albom will meet on the way to heaven (hell?): Mateen Cleaves and Jason Richardson, whoever runs this blog, Bryan Curtis, AJ for calling him a “poofy-haired gnome“, and every copy editor at the Freep who had to put up with this type of garbage from the paper’s “star” columnist.

Say what you will about his writing – the
dudemanAdonis has a sweet feathered hairdo.May 23rd, 2008 at 2:49 PM
TBL, why are talking about Mitch Albom with a picture of Charles in Charge???

I’ve got no problem with this, in the tech field sometimes people want things right away and are constantly asking you when something will be done and I’ve done similar “stop fucking calling me it will be done when its done” snaps. I’m not too familiar with Albom the person but I generally like his writing.

Thanks Dr.C, now I’ve got the freakin CiC theme song in my head for the rest of the day, awesome.

Jeff Probst is the boss.

Sorry to be picky, but is Boston’s stadium still called the Garden? I thought it was the F&T Bank Industrial Loans Center. Or something stupid like that.

TBL..weren’t you a writer with a deadline…this may be the only time I empathize with Mitch Albom ever in my life…Ever.

No prob, Coop. Better then singing this song.

Banknorth Garden gonzo.

i was thinking more Larry from 3s Company

The “little feller” as he is referred to around these parts. He used to be a sportswriter. He used to be relevent.

And somewhere Scott Baio is plowing a girl he doesn’t even love.
(Thanks Irish)

I sing Reading Rainbow in the shower every day. I actually watched an episode the other day, I loved that show growing up. I heard that LeVar was quitting or something.
May 23rd, 2008 at 2:57 PM
Gonzo…You made it sound like it was Irish’s fault Scott Baio is having hate sex with a girl because he thinks he has too…phenomenal

With his past ethical violations, maybe it is good that he is taking his time with this one.

I prefer this cartoon theme song.

Santimonious prick.

lol @ Roman. I don’t even have a funny comeback for that. Although it’s funny to think one of us here has actually met Scott Baio and had an effect on his life.

Don’t EVER call the TD Banknorth Garden the “garden”. There is only one ‘Garden’ left, and it sits at 33rd and 8th. I thought I was reading about the WNBA and the Liberty when I clicked on this link and end up being disappointed that it’s about the NBA.

I think Albom has funny ears.
May 23rd, 2008 at 3:23 PM
Cursing in the press box? Oh my heavens!
May 23rd, 2008 at 3:29 PM
Perhaps the editor should have given him more time. The article wasn’t an award winner by any means
May 23rd, 2008 at 3:43 PM
Is Kevin Garnett the only person who’s allowed to be intense?
May 23rd, 2008 at 3:46 PM
I wonder if one of the copy editors just asked him point blank: are you really in Boston, and at the “Garden?”
Whenever I see Albom on TV, I am transfized by his haircut — he always seems to have the top part of his Ginormous ears covered.
Man, those things are like satellite dishes. When he goes through airport security, do the ears get checked separately?
May 23rd, 2008 at 3:51 PM
lol @ Maj.

That’s some funny stuff. I, too, have thought the same thing for years. It’s perplexing. The hair does such a good (weird?) job of covering the ears. I mean, are they big? Do they stick out? Or are they just oddly shaped? I’ve never been able to figure that out – his hair does a swell job of befuddling me.
