I'm reading The Hustler's Handbook, Bill Veeck's 2nd book, written in 1965, and found this amazing bit I had to share.quote:Without the Yankees' long history of success through victory, the Mets could never have achieved their own spirited dash to success through defeat. New Yorkers can condescend to root for the Mets- and when you think about it there is a large element of condescension in the affection for the team- only because the Yankees are still there in the background with that history of unbroken success. The Met fan doesn't live and die with the team as he once lived and died with the old Dodgers. The city isn't deeply involved with them, it is amused by them. The Met fan puts forth his addiction as a charming idiosyncrasy.

Groucho had a part in it too. I believe he was the other person in Pearlman's article about anonymous fans. Someone needs to let Pearlman know about where the Millville Meteor came from.

Jackie MacMullan: Replacement refs will cause the man giants of the NFL to rise up and DESTROY ALL THAT THEY SEE:quote:Without the integrity of the game, what do you have? A bunch of big, strong, angry men who have reached their breaking point. A tad over-dramatic, I think. She makes it seem like a player is literally going to murder a replacement ref. I could maybe see a player shoving one of them, right before he is ejected, probably suspended and fined a shitton of money for making contact with a ref.

Yeah groucho goatsed him. I called him a retard and he ended up calling my mom. He told me in the phone conversation something to the effect of "I was on my computer with my seven year old daughter and suddenly on my screen there was a guy doing something with his rear end in a top hat and it was the most disgusting depraved thing I've ever seen" and I almost burst out laughing and said something like "Oh you got goatsed eh?" so I literally had a conversation with a best selling author about goatse The best part of the whole thing was that in the cnn article he ended up writing he made believe he did some Serious Internet Detectiving to find the both of us when both of us at that point were using our full names as our twitter handles Dick Williams fucked around with this message at 19:34 on Sep 24, 2012 |

It was kinda like "you don't have to be so mean to people" but after she read the article she thought he was an rear end in a top hat but mostly thinks its kinda funny at this point. And I ended up getting a job like a month later anyway so it didn't really matter in the end. She just didn't want her name attached to it because she's a grammar school teacher Honestly, looking back on it, it's easily the most absurd thing that's ever happened to me and it was weird reading actual sportswriters taking passive aggressive shots at me on twitter after Craig Calcaterra posted on Hardball Talk the response I wrote on my old blog Groucho Marxist posted:He created a new twitter account as a girl who claimed went to high school with me.

MourningView posted:Well this is just kinda sad. He's a remarkably insecure, kinda weird dude. He invited me to some event he spoke at in NYC and he spoke about how players hated him and he has a gigantic chip on his shoulder for whatever reason and after speaking to him personally I kinda felt bad for him. He flipped about the retard thing because he has a mentally handicapped family member which is understandable but I mean it was literally a 3am drunk tweet which he found via searching his own name via twitter. Not that it makes it okay but if you're looking for trouble, don't be surprised if you find it, especially on the internet. I'm still not entirely sure what he tried to accomplish trying to threaten me and groucho but whatever it was he sure came off looking ridiculous which is all we can ask for I guess. I don't think he expected us to respond to him at all or that we weren't like basement dwelling shut-ins Dick Williams fucked around with this message at 20:37 on Sep 24, 2012 |

Bless Jeff Pearlman for trying to write a comprehensive book about the 1986 Mets, but drat him for turning it into a fellatio session of his boyhood idols. Basically, I feel bad for him but admire his efforts. The YouTube video he stupidly posted of him appearing on a local news station while he was in college proclaiming that he had voluntarily chosen virginity says a lot about him.

How Biased Is Your Announcer? Nobody will ever guess who is #1 Though frankly the criteria they choose for deciding "homers" is pretty silly. Referring to a player by his nickname?

Mike Francesa is terrible, but sometimes he is hilarious. First he falls asleep on the air. He's not a very good sport about it. Then he falls for a great NFL network troll.

Jeff Pearlman wrote some terrible article slamming 5k's for whatever reason. then got ripped for it and deleted it. Forunately everyone finds him to be an rear end in a top hat http://kissingsuzykolber.uproxx.com/2012/06/this-week-in-f-k-you-jeff-pearlman-10k-purist.html , http://www.stridenation.com/2012/6/25/3116507/jeff-pearlman-hates-5k-races .quote:It took place at the Meadowlands. Everyone ran three miles around the facility, then entered the stadium and finished by crossing the goal line. It was cool and neat and swell, and we all enjoyed the experience (save for the fact that it felt like 95 degrees, and we were trudging through a parking lot). Not only did he have a terrible opinion but he's so spineless that he can't take the backlash.
