Six Years Ago Tonight: Steve Bartman Intervened
Baseball, Erin Andrews, Music, Soccer, Television, WWE October 14th. 2009, 6:30pm
October 14, 2003. Seems like an eternity ago. This blog wasn’t around. Nor was YouTube. Twitter didn’t exist. It’s probably a good thing. If you’re up for a memory jog on what happened that night – not that anyone in Chicago will – read this. We’re slightly perturbed that there’s no baseball tonight. Thanks for nothing, MLB. The Yankees and Angels last played on Sunday … why aren’t they playing tonight? We’ll be taking it easy tonight, get boozy with our DVR and rooting for the US soccer team and remaining depressed over the terrible Charlie Davies car accident.
In actual news … RIP Captain Lou Albano.
How about that John Mayer guy? What a dick.
How about that Sonny Jurgensen guy? What a riot.
How about that Erin Andrews? Chin up, kid!
Don’t act like you don’t remember this from the early 1990s.

i like mayer more after that. a musician who doesnt think his political opinion is the best opinion evar!? rare breed.
October 14th, 2009 at 6:36 PM
i thought the first part of the interview with mayer was funny but then he turned into a prick
October 14th, 2009 at 6:37 PM
Yep. Can any baseball fan explain this?
October 14th, 2009 at 6:38 PM
there is no competition tonight for MLB. what a mistake.
weekend games will totally be lost in the college football/nfl shuffle this wknd.
October 14th, 2009 at 6:39 PM
Because game 5 of the Twins-Yanks (and I think Sox-Angels) would have been tonight. They can’t just reschedule games at will.
October 14th, 2009 at 6:43 PM
doesn’t the NBA reschedule ‘at will?’
really, what else is going on at the yankee stadium and the angels joint that is preventing this?
are tickets the issue?
/honestly, i got no idea
October 14th, 2009 at 6:43 PM
Poor Steve Bartman. If I were a major network, I’d give him 60 seconds free air time to tell Cubs fans what he thinks.
October 14th, 2009 at 6:44 PM
Yes.
October 14th, 2009 at 6:47 PM
I think Twelve and Holding’s on tonight.
October 14th, 2009 at 6:48 PM
No, they don’t. They have a tad bit of flexibility in the opening rds, but the dates for the Finals are set in stone.
October 14th, 2009 at 6:49 PM
hopefully it would go something like this :
“I think you guys are the best fans evar. you have no idea how much sympathy pussy i get. i actually have to turn pussy down. thank you.”
October 14th, 2009 at 6:49 PM
Is this where I can find the NLCS preview?
October 14th, 2009 at 6:51 PM
By the way, if you watched PTI, you know today is the anniversary that the two guys, I mean gods, to my left hooked up for 5 TD’s. Just bringing it up to brag about the fact that I had the 2 greatest players ever on my team at the same time. And you didn’t.
October 14th, 2009 at 6:52 PM
TBL, they sell playoff tickets in advance. i’m guessing it’s much more difficult to sell tickets when the date listed is “we’ll let you know a day in advance”.
October 14th, 2009 at 6:53 PM
Well, one of ESPN’s 30 for 30 specials is a Bartman documentary, and they are apparently keeping it a secret whether Bartman himself will appear.
October 14th, 2009 at 6:54 PM
i seem to remember the Finals two years ago having like 4-5 days off. there was grumbling back then.
guess the major difference is that in june, there’s also baseball going on, plus the weather is nice, so people go out.
mid-Oct, with the weather in the 30s, more people (i assume) are staying in.
October 14th, 2009 at 6:55 PM
John Mayer has a tv show?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXUi93hbPq8
October 14th, 2009 at 6:55 PM
One of the all time lost TV gems.
October 14th, 2009 at 6:56 PM
Sir, playoff tickets NEVER have a date on them. For instance, I have tickets for “Phillies Game 2″ of the NLCS, that were purchased in September. There was no way to determine in advance the date of this game, because there was no way to determine whether “Phillies Game 2″ would be Game 2 or Game 4 of the NLCS.
October 14th, 2009 at 6:56 PM
Otto Graham and Jim Brown played for the Niners? When?
October 14th, 2009 at 6:56 PM
And now you have guys like this
October 14th, 2009 at 6:58 PM
MMA…which has beaten out MLB playoff games before in the 18-34 (not necessarily the money demo..but the one that will become the money demo).
October 14th, 2009 at 6:58 PM
Even if Bartman wasn’t there, the Cubs would’ve found a way to fuck it up. 100%
October 14th, 2009 at 6:58 PM
Jay, if you secure WS tix, and its the Yanks, I’m in.
keep me posted
October 14th, 2009 at 6:58 PM
They sell playoff tickets after the team advances or in some cases before. Most of the time the people buying the tickets don’t know what day the game is. It usually just says “Home game 1″ or “Home Game 2″. No excuse for MLB to be waiting this long other than not wanting to have a huge break before the World Series. Another thing they can move up but they won’t. Idiots.
October 14th, 2009 at 6:59 PM

Wow. No. Just, No.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:02 PM
oh and the ralph lauren model who got fired for being to heavy is a load of shit and that industry is and will continue to be the reason why teenage girls will be under 100 pounfds, will hate & kill themselves and have no self esteem. the fuckers.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:03 PM
Relative to Bartman and the previous 30 for 30 thread…most of these don’t sound that interesting (although the Antley story should be very interesting, as I was actually friends with the guy):
ESPN announced eight additional documentary films for its “30 for 30″ film project, including deals with Morgan Freeman, Frank Marshall and Spike Jonze. The move adds another eight hours to the network’s budding documentary slate, in which filmmakers cover a sports subject that took place within the past 30 years. The network said at the Television Critics Assn.’s press tour that subjects will cover South African rugby, BMX star Mat Hoffman, ostracized Cubs fan Steve Bartman, disgraced Olympic sprinter Marion Jones, the Los Angeles Raiders, jockey Chris Antley and Charismatic, the late NASCAR driver Tim Richmond and Olympic speedskater Johann Olav Koss.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:04 PM
And openly admitted he didn’t know shit about health care and didn’t try to bullshit about it like the interviewee tried to get him to do. good stuff john.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:04 PM
Jim Brown’s the greatest football player of all time. I’m confident more commenters will agree with that statement than will disagree. Montana’s in the discussion for being the best QB of all time. I wouldn’t put him there, but it’s not outrageous for someone to think he’s the best.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:04 PM
I’ll do what I can…but you better not wear any Yankee gear.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:06 PM
watchin vh1 hip hop honors right now… kind of excited
October 14th, 2009 at 7:06 PM
Perfect time to make a move.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:07 PM
Hey, I had Vinny and Curtis AND Aaron Glenn! So I’m, like, better than you…
October 14th, 2009 at 7:08 PM
I’ll take Elway. He singlehandedly took three OK teams to the Super Bowl.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:08 PM
someone linked to a 30 and 30 page a couple weeks ago and those were all in there. the rugby one and bartman both look good.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:09 PM
TBL, Does Scott shoot himself in the next episode? he had to have. Man this was pre internet or tv so nobody knew anything about California…
What a great show
October 14th, 2009 at 7:09 PM
Jim Brown’s the greatest football player of all time. I’m confident more commenters will agree with that statement than will disagree.
Geez. Jerry broke Browns TD record in 1994, as a reciever, gained about 10,000 more yards, and played against other athletes of comparable size and speed. Jim Brown would be of average size and speed these days. But he played in the sixties against a bunch of Notre Dame and Army grads too fat and slow to play baseball and not tough enough to box.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:10 PM
anyone goin to see paranormal activity this weekend? I haven’t been to a movie in 6 months and i think I’m goin friday. Reviews say its one of the scariest movies ever. If i can sleep and don’t get nightmares i’m gonna be very disappointed
October 14th, 2009 at 7:11 PM
I’ll take Elway. He singlehandedly took three OK teams to the Super Bowl.
You can have Elway. I’ll take 55-10 against the leagues #1 defense. And a perfect 4-0 record in Super bowls. And 11 TD’s, no picks. Perfect.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:12 PM
You answered your own question. As a reciever. Don’t get me wrong, Rice is the greatest receiver of all time, but Brown didn’t have to beat one guy to get 20 yards, plus when he played the passing game was no where near what it was when Rice played.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:12 PM
And that million dollar smile baby!
October 14th, 2009 at 7:12 PM
Does Scott shoot himself in the next episode?
that kid accidentally killing himself put David on the fast track to popularity.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:15 PM
BSanders, I didn’t realize you were old enough to see Brown and Graham play. What was that like? Must’ve been nuts.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:15 PM
Elway isn’t even in my top 5.
/earlier’d
October 14th, 2009 at 7:16 PM
I’d put Elway ahead of Favre. Now that was a guy who knew how to retire.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:16 PM
The passing game wasn’t that advanced back then because Montana and Rice weren’t born yet.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:16 PM
It was. Fucking awesome. Otto let me rub his elbows for good luck before games.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:16 PM
montana was the king of 5 yard slants and dumpoffs. if anything i would put young ahead of him because he thrived even more in that offense.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:17 PM
agree 100%. Jim Brown never rushed for a negative yard in his NFL career.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:17 PM
Easily. Favre’s not even top five all time. Probably closer to 10 than five.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:18 PM
And as far as taking a team of nobody’s to the Super Bowl (and losing, and not just losing, getting KILLED), try to name another player on the ‘81 and ‘84 teams.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:19 PM

Like I said. Shoddy competition. proves my point. Think Bill Russell would pull down 45 rebounds today? Same thing. Celtics can take their rings from the 60’s and leave ‘em there.

October 14th, 2009 at 7:24 PM
Doesn’t being that much better than your competition at the time only make stronger the argument that Russell (and Brown) were so dominant?
/doesn’t give a shit; pissed I missed the Limbaugh post (again)
October 14th, 2009 at 7:24 PM
Yea, but Jim Brown had to deal with everyone just sitting in the box.
Eh, historical football comparisions aresomewhat useless because we can sift through all the hypotheticals and cherry picking stats until we’re blue in the face.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:24 PM
montana was the king of 5 yard slants and dumpoffs. if anything i would put young ahead of him because he thrived even more in that offense.
If that’s true (and I don’t think it is) goes to show more of Rice’s greatness. The YAC stat was invented because of Rice. Look it up. I love Young. Second greatest QB ever. Never missed the playoffs as a starter. Never. Take that Aikman, Favre. Routinely led his team in rushing with worst RB/O-line combo in league.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:24 PM
exorcist when it came back in theaters
October 14th, 2009 at 7:24 PM
Yep, I’m not trying to shit on Montana..the guy is one of the best ever. But put Elway on San Fran, they probably have more titles. The best running back Elway had before TD was Bobby Humphrey. Yikes!
October 14th, 2009 at 7:24 PM
Steve Wallace’s helmet trumped all.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:24 PM
try to name another player on the ‘81 and ‘84 teams.
Can I? Bill Ring. He was the starting running back for the 81 team. Dwight Clark, obviously. Randy Cross. give me a minute from there.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:25 PM
I missed that AND the Calipari interview. Today sucked.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:25 PM
TBL,
Paranormal Activity looks pretty good/decent
October 14th, 2009 at 7:25 PM
Eh, historical football comparisions aresomewhat useless because we can sift through all the hypotheticals and cherry picking stats until we’re blue in the face.
True, and like we’ve gone over before, nobody’s changing their mind. Especially me. Because i’m right…. And because I LOVE those guys.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:25 PM
I have nothing against Elway, but I’d have to say you’d have more interceptions if you did that.
He threw some awful, awful picks in big games.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:25 PM
The Rugby one should be great and the Olav Kloss one. I’m meh on the others but will watch them because I’ve liked what they’ve done so far.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:27 PM
What about a 30 for 30 on the Tanya Harding/Kerrigan fiasco.
/Why!!! Why!!!!!
October 14th, 2009 at 7:28 PM
Steve Wallace’s helmet trumped all.
True. Extra protective shell single most underrated factor in the 49ers run of excellence.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:28 PM
There’s no way Jesse Sapolo wasn’t on the 84 team, but they were way better than the 81 team. For 84, I’ll say Harris Barton, that tight end named Frank.
Fred Dean, maybe. Keena Turner.
That’s all I’ve got.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:29 PM
Very true.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:30 PM
Why does Jimmy Fallon have a late night show and not Tracy Morgan
October 14th, 2009 at 7:30 PM
He threw some awful, awful picks in big games.
Can’t believe I never thought of that. Threw awful picks in small games as well.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:30 PM
weird seeing how shitty elways stats were until 1993
October 14th, 2009 at 7:30 PM
@TBL, i heard it’s similar to blair with project, with the key is that they made it look realistic. A friend of mine’s brother who is 18 and got a full ride to USC, Ohio State, and BYU, plays MLB and tight end on high California high school team. He went a watched the film and slept in his dad’s room that night. haha. I like being freaked out but lately movies haven’t done it for me. But from what i’ve heard, this one is a damn good one.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:31 PM
I was looking forward to a few of them, then I realized they were directed by people like Ice Cube and Steve Nash
October 14th, 2009 at 7:31 PM
He also played with some awful, awful teams in big games. When your best receiver is Vance Johnson–for an entire decade–you get an asterisk for interceptions.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:32 PM
roger craig is the best rb ever. 2nd best is terry kirby.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:32 PM
the escobar movie in the 30 for 30 could be awesome
October 14th, 2009 at 7:32 PM
Ironic that Elway played for a team with a horse as their logo???
October 14th, 2009 at 7:32 PM
Fair enough, but you have to throw picks on bad teams, mostly b/c you can’t let the game come to you when you have no running game or elite wideouts. He didn’t even have good olineman until later in his career. My guess is Montana would have more picks on those teams. But it’s conjecture at this point.
Later in his career..when he got the running game and Shannon Sharpe, his decision making was excellent and always praised.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:33 PM
Garrison Hearst is 2nd, Kirby 3rd.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:33 PM
what a pussy hope that kid goes to usc
October 14th, 2009 at 7:33 PM
Mike Sherrard. Roger Craig. Hacksaw Reynolds. What Dirtheavy said. This is a ridiculous argument.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:33 PM
haha what about dexter carter?
October 14th, 2009 at 7:33 PM
However, the Reggie Miller/Knicks, Without Bias, June 17th 1994, Bartman, One Night In Vegas, The Steibrenners, and Straight Out Of L.A. look pretty good, although Ice Cube is doing the LA one.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:34 PM
Montana had SHIT receivers in Kansas City, was 96 yrs old in broken back years, and still found a way to play amazing, including a last second win at Mile High over Johnny boy.
Don’t blame Vance Jackson.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:35 PM
Here’s my list of QB’s all Time:
1. Peyton Manning
2. John Elway
2nd to Last. JaMarcus Russell
Last. Aaron Brooks
October 14th, 2009 at 7:35 PM
Good job on the early 80’s 49er roster trivia challenge fellas. Couldn’t be more proud. Maybe I shoulda just stuck with the ‘81 team. Still would’ve trumped Elway. And why are we stuck on Elway? Better arguments can be made for other guys. Not that I want you to make them or anything.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:35 PM
That Escobar one sounds interesting, also.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:35 PM
His family made him choose BYU. I would be so pissed.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:36 PM
Montana had SHIT receivers in Kansas City, was 96 yrs old in broken back years, and still found a way to play amazing, including a last second win at Mile High over Johnny boy.
And the AFC championship game.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:36 PM
Just to start more arguments tonight before i go out and get hammered on my off night tonight, I think Reggie Miller’s heroics on that night were the coolest thing I’ve ever seen in my young life in the NBA. Kobe’s 81 is right there too.
Jordan’s pushoff is #236
October 14th, 2009 at 7:36 PM
i’m glad that you can hang your hat on that and at the end of the day feel good about all your accomplishments.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:36 PM
You ever see Glen Foley or Ray Lucas?
October 14th, 2009 at 7:37 PM
Best MNF game ever. Although listening to Tirico and his hyperbole, you’d think there have been three better already this season.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:38 PM
I agree on Miller — that shit was incredible.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:38 PM
I hate Reggie Miller, but I respect his skill. I still wish Spike Lee stabbed him when they yelled at one another.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:39 PM
OJ and Rockets/Knicks. Good times.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:40 PM
Would have been even better if the exact opposite outcomes happened in both.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:40 PM
If Montana had played on Elway’s Bronco squads, he would have been out of the league in four years with injuries.
It cannot be overstated: Elway played in an antiquated (even when Reeves was
it was on its way out) offense, had no protection and threw to guys who would not have made the 49ers practice squad.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:40 PM
roger craig is the best rb ever. 2nd best is terry kirby.
Ha! Garrison Hearst #2, followed by Derick Loville, Terry Kirby, Charlie Garner.

October 14th, 2009 at 7:43 PM
colt mccoy is wearing glasses. he actually seems literate.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:44 PM
I’d probably put Unitas ahead of Elway.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:44 PM
Out of the league in four years? Your Elway hardon is getting in the way here.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:45 PM
I just meant that OJ went to jail the first time. Also, if h wanted to kill himself that would’ve been ok
October 14th, 2009 at 7:45 PM
Nope. That was a win over Wade Phillips. Be proud of it, because it never ever happened again.
BTW, how’d Montana do in that AFC Championship game?
October 14th, 2009 at 7:48 PM
bsanders, you just can’t put a guy from the 50s/60s ahead of elway. different game, different athletes
/loved the hightops and buzzcuts though
October 14th, 2009 at 7:50 PM
You’re going to criticize a very old Montana on a shitty Chiefs team?
I believe Elway threw a pick to Chet Brooks on the second play of the ‘89 super Bowl. Chet Brooks sucked. I supposed that was the line’s fault though.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:51 PM
Nope. That was a win over Wade Phillips. Be proud of it, because it never ever happened again.
BTW, how’d Montana do in that AFC Championship game?
Wade Phillips argument, HUGE cop-out. Wade wasn’t qb’ing team OR calling plays. As far as AFC championship, fared better than Elway in SB 24.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:51 PM
We’re not talking about “a guy,” we’re talking about a guy who brought the passing game forward leaps and bounds. It’s Johnny F’n Unitas.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:52 PM
bsanders, you just can’t put a guy from the 50s/60s ahead of elway. different game, different athletes
Or Rice, for that matter.

No, it was Wade Phillips’s fault.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:53 PM
We’re not talking about “a guy,” we’re talking about a guy who brought the passing game forward leaps and bounds.
Paul Brown?
October 14th, 2009 at 7:56 PM
That ‘89 team had one good player on offense. His name was John Elway.
It’s hardly a copout. That Niners squad was one of the best ever, and John dragged a mediocre Broncos team to the Super Bowl. He lost, because that’s what happens to mediocre teams in the Super Bowl.
Oh, and re: the Monday Nighter. As someone whose poor ass watched that game at a bar that served free jello shots with touchdowns, I feel confident in saying that yes, it was Wade. Because Elway didn’t call the defense. And he left the field with the lead. Other than that, though, you have a point.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:58 PM
Sorry Ballz had to do it. I just want to know one thing…Was he really going to high step 65 yards?
October 14th, 2009 at 8:00 PM
Forgot about this. Yes, as long as Niners fans bring it up in attempt to prove his awesomeness.
October 14th, 2009 at 8:02 PM
Mediocre teams don’t always lose. If the Pats had lost to the Rams, they wouldv’e been considered one of those mediocre teams. Same with the Jets. I mean, 55-10? Nobody has ever, EVER, lost by that much in a Championship game.
October 14th, 2009 at 8:02 PM
Dennis Smith and Mecklenberg headed up a pretty good defense.
I blame Johnny for throwing all those bad, spotlight-stressed picks.
October 14th, 2009 at 8:03 PM
You’re right, it’s totally unreasonable to assume that a skinny, injury-prone QB would have gotten battered behind the Division II lines Elway played behind.
And my Elway hardon remains eternally priapic.
October 14th, 2009 at 8:04 PM
the Division II lines Elway played behind
hey mark schlereth played on those lines
October 14th, 2009 at 8:04 PM
Sorry Ballz had to do it. I just want to know one thing…Was he really going to high step 65 yards?
I don’t know man, I mean gosh…. Just chalk it up to his former Rams/Lionsness. The moron…. I’m trying to relish in past glory over here!!!
October 14th, 2009 at 8:04 PM
Yeah, in 1986. Guess which two guys were on the field for that Monday Nighter?
All day. I can do this all day. Or at least until my wife says stop.
October 14th, 2009 at 8:06 PM
We’re separating the eras of Elway, here. The O-line picked up in the mid-’90s, when they got Zimmerman, Habib and Schlereth. Prior to that, the best lineman he ever played behind was…Keith Bishop.
October 14th, 2009 at 8:07 PM
hey mark schlereth played on those offensive lines in the NFL
sorry, fixed
October 14th, 2009 at 8:07 PM
Dennis Smith and Mecklenberg headed up a pretty good defense.
And Steve Atwater and Tyrone Braxton.
October 14th, 2009 at 8:09 PM
They started a 260-lb nose tackle in the ‘89 Super Bowl. No one, not even Terry Bradshaw, thought the result would be anything other than it was.
October 14th, 2009 at 8:09 PM
I was still on the super bowl actually when I mentioned them.
But I could care less about that Monday nighter, it’s just funny that little skinny Montana stomped on Elways sack, again.
October 14th, 2009 at 8:10 PM
Elway might have been good, but could he do this?
October 14th, 2009 at 8:12 PM
If Montana had Terrell Davis, they would have won 19 straight super bowls and three world series rings.
Safe to say, Elway underachieved.
October 14th, 2009 at 8:14 PM
Yeah, I know you were. I was making a point about the ossification of Denver’s defense. Even by that SB, both of those guys were nearly a decade in.
And it *would* be funny if quarterbacks actually played against each other. Because Elway would have kicked the living shit out of Joe Montana.
October 14th, 2009 at 8:14 PM
hey mark schlereth played on those offensive lines in the National Football League
you were so close, Vezina

And if AstroGlide had never been invented, Montana and Rice wouldn’t have connected so well.
HA BECAUSE THEY HAD SEX
October 14th, 2009 at 8:18 PM
The real killer is that John Elways’s Quarterback was a horrific video game.
October 14th, 2009 at 8:19 PM
maybe on his 4th try?
October 14th, 2009 at 8:19 PM
And it *would* be funny if quarterbacks actually played against each other. Because Elway would have kicked the living shit out of Joe Montana.
Brilliant argument. Tell me, are you basing that on Super Bowl Success, regular season success, or head to head? Or anything, for that matter? He would’ve kicked his ass in a choking in big moments contest, I know that. Or an interception throwing contest. Is that what you meant. One things for sure, you kicked my ass in the making excuses for Elway contest. That contest was a blowout of Super Bowl 24 proportions.

I played with a guy i college who was literally the identical player as Gooch but was brilliant and knew how to play with controlled aggressiveness because he was smart. He was the anchor of our flat four in the back and in my opinion was a better player than Gooch but went to Real SL and flaked out. He was a smart kid, i think he may have just chosen to use his degree. A good decision considering he’s making more money in the work force than in the MLS
October 14th, 2009 at 10:16 PM
Gooch has not gotten better in the last 3 years. I hope is okay, but he definitley has some serious issues.

GOTG, did you notice that Lou Holtz’s tie is wider than his whole head?
he doin’ the Mike Irvin look? Knot the size of a basketball, tie the length of a bolo

It’s Kournikovas
October 14th, 2009 at 10:30 PM
I will defer to you people who watch more soccer than me. I still think he’s our best center back though.
October 14th, 2009 at 10:30 PM
mole – think italy’s defenders are dirty on occasion, tough, and solid. gooch is, imo, the closest defender we’ve got to italian-like beef at the back.
October 14th, 2009 at 10:32 PM
TUF is on and i think someone is gonna get ktfo tonight so you might want to tune in.

Anna Kounikova. I would do dirty things to that woman.
That dude is a clown. He can’t speak in coherent sentences in the studio, so why in the hell do they put him on as an analyst?

Italy’s rogue defense gave up two goals to Cyprus today.
October 14th, 2009 at 10:43 PM
torn patella tendon for Gooch, out 3-4 months.
October 14th, 2009 at 10:43 PM
It doesn’t matter. Italy is a team that shows up in the World Cup and plays well (enough). They always look like shit in the qualies and even in the group stage, but then they sneak into the knockout rounds and advance. I fucking hate watching Italy play.
October 14th, 2009 at 10:43 PM
Holy shit. Achtung Baby is f’ing awesome.
October 14th, 2009 at 10:45 PM
So do I.
Italy’s defense used to be the tops, but no longer. Shocking that losing the best defender ever fucks up your flow.
October 14th, 2009 at 10:46 PM
Thank Christ he doesn’t play for the Browns, He’d be facing amputation with this injury

Thats good news. Thank you. Don’t know how good until the draw. Pointless to make predictions about USA’s chances until the draw in December.
October 14th, 2009 at 10:47 PM
You mean you don’t like watching teams that get up and than decide to get 10 guys behind the ball and pack the box. I mean that’s great Futbol! Can’t stand watching them play either and I don’t really watch much soccer anymore.
October 14th, 2009 at 10:48 PM
Very true. When is the draw exactly? Just once I would like the U.S. to get placed into the cream puff group. Them, one power, Saudi Arabia and Slovakia. That’s what I am hoping for.
October 14th, 2009 at 10:48 PM
December fourth.

October 14th, 2009 at 10:49 PM
Slovakia are WAY better than the USA.
October 14th, 2009 at 10:50 PM
Watch Spain or the Dutch play. They are a blast. They have the exact opposite mindset of the Italians.
October 14th, 2009 at 10:51 PM
Hope for the South Africa group. Pray we don’t get the Brazil, Netherlands group. By the way, Netherlands=Best international uni’s in the world. Total Football!!!

Zero experience in the World Cup and they won’t be playing in Europe. I would like our chances better than an African team playing at home.

As a kid I pulled for them because of their unis. As and adult I pull for them because of their play and they remind me of Amsterdam…and I love me some Amsterdam.
October 14th, 2009 at 10:52 PM
Love watching Spanish teams play. Played some ball over in Valencia for almost a month when i was 19. Learned alot from the Spanish
October 14th, 2009 at 10:53 PM
Well they have only existed as a federation only since the Clinton Administration.
Hamsik is better than any player we’ve had since 94, and their defense is very very tough to break.
October 14th, 2009 at 10:53 PM
Duh
All right then. Zooropa is fucking awesome.

Pop is way Groovy!!! Discoteque, Do You Feel Loved are great songs. Listen to Numb or Lemon on Vicodin, Oxycontin, or heroin and tell me you don’t agree. Ahh, opiates. Would life be worth living without you? Awesome sex CD’s, both of ‘em.
October 14th, 2009 at 10:58 PM
Well Slovenia isn’t getting in, so I’m not too worried about them

Anyone else as excited as me about Abu Dhabi’s F1 debut this weekend. F1 needs coverage on this sight, and i’m the man to do it.
October 14th, 2009 at 11:02 PM
If they’re seeding by points Portugal won’t be seeded.

God, wouldn’t it be great if France didn’t qualify? And the world cup wouldn’t be the same without the Portuguese Man ‘O Sex.

I’ll take it! The F1 announcing team on SPEED channel is the best 3 man booth in sports. I know nobody will ever watch, but trust me. And watching those Ferraris, BMW’s, and McLaren Mercedes’ taking corners is the sport equivalent of an orgasm.
October 14th, 2009 at 11:08 PM
mole: I think they’re doing it by Fifa rankings. Or more likely by whichever way they can get the big nations in.

Dodgers owner Frank McCourt and his wife Jamie split up. Gotta say, I met the man and shook his hand at a Dodger-Giants game last month, so i’d like to think I know the man. But this took me completely by suprise.

Boise State can look back at tonight as the game that sealed their fate of being out of the BCS title game. Sure, they weren’t going to play in it most likely, but this game just sealed the deal.
October 14th, 2009 at 11:17 PM
sponge, caught one of the local yokels flipping off Boise State on one shot earlier. wake the kids!
October 14th, 2009 at 11:17 PM
Tulsa head coach went OFF on the refs after a terrible call that made a 3rd and long for Boise a 3rd and short. Boise punted anyways though. There was no audio but you could see the coach say “thats fucking bull shit” right in the refs ear about 15 times.
October 14th, 2009 at 11:19 PM

October 14th, 2009 at 11:19 PM

Wow that would have been a TD. What a choke.

I actually enjoy watching F1 on TV. I would never seek it out, but I’ll watch for a few minutes if I see it on.
RE: Italian soccer — My club soccer coach was brought up in Italy so I spent 15 years of my youth scoring one goal and then spending the remainder of the game packing our own box and “clamping down.” I loved it.
October 14th, 2009 at 11:20 PM
So I just got done watching my 9-week-old puppy run in a circle for 5 minutes after getting his ass handed to him by my cat (who is a dick by the way). I love animals.
