“Why do basketball players keep pulling stuff out? Guns, penises… What the hell?”
- George Lopez, referring to certain NBA players named Oden and Arenas

“Party like a C**kStar”
- Jack Barakat, from the band All Time Low, unintentionally referring to Greg Oden on Twitter

“I know his name, I know where he lives, I know his age, his mothers age… anything and everything to prove to this Pinche that he is holding Satan’s cell phone.”
- How to Catch an iPhone Thief, blog post

“[McGwire] was paid millions while perpetrating a fraud. So how is it MLB Commissioner Bud Selig gives him a pass and welcomes McGwire back to the very game he betrayed?”
-Adolphus A. Busch IV, criticizing McGwire, Selig, and the Cardinals, after McGwire’s steroid admissions

“I think this could go way into the training camp of next year.”
- Trey Wingo, commenting on the Future of Brett Favre
(And getting back on topic at ESPN, after their website ignored Favre for a few days)

“It will be one of the storylines we follow through the offseason.”
- Trent Dilfer, warning us in advance that ESPN will be hot on the story

“Thank you Kurt Warner! For everything. You are the true definition of a role model: from your humble roots to NFL stardom you have never changed.”
- Scott Jacobs on Facebook.

I don’t know what exactly makes Warner a role model, but I guess his quick decision to retire should be emulated.

  1. I’ve said that least 891195 times. The problem this like that is they are just too compilcated for the average bird, if you know what I mean

  2. Hi, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog site in Chrome, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, superb blog!
