Mike Missanelli is a host on ESPN Radio in Philadelphia. He is combative and an example of generic aggressive sports talk host with no discernible talents. Despite being a non-athletic big mouth who has never played competitive sports, he broadcasts with a tough guy facade and tends to ambush his guests. Like many brainless talk radio hosts around the country, he plays to his constituents by putting on this character. In defending aggressive and angry fans in a recent argument with noted blowhard Skip Bayless, he had no evidence other than saying that Skip had no evidence of poor fan behaviour in Philadelphia because he hadn’t been to a game in ten years. The irony of it all is Mike was being aggressive and combative, filling the useless, blue collar North Eastern stereotype he was trying to nix. Of course, Skip Bayless really needs to have his hat handed to him, but Missanelli isn’t the guy to do it.

Oh no, Rush is starting to lose his audience. He has a guy calling up to complain about welfare moms having too many babies? That was a problem 10 years ago. Where has this retard been? Rush tries to deflect him and, yes, educate him, with a reference to Idiocracy – but the caller just doesn’t take the bait.
Welfare babies are a problem solved 10 years ago – if that is the kind of caller Rush gets, he must be feeling desperate. His callers are complaining about problems that were solved 10 years ago. Really, this guy is complaining about welfare babies, when a lot of hard working people are out of a job – thru no fault of their own. I don’t know what Rush is trying to work people up over nowadays, but it’s probably not welfare babies.
Reminds me of a sign I saw in a picture of the Tea Party protests from Southlake – some woman was holding up a sign that said, “If you don’t work, you dont’ eat” – Really, that’s the problem here. Really, you’re serious, that’s the problem. People don’t want to work? Are you f’king kidding me? There are a lot of people that would work, if they could find a f’ing job, you stupid B’. You are complaining about a problem that was solved 10 years ago.
That’s the problem with conservatives. They have answers for the problems we had 10 years ago – they have no answers to the problems we have now.

Ronda! You do yoga? Alcohol and yoga is not a good combination. Sometimes I drink on special occasions, but have learned that only hotter it’s to stay sober. I want to do don’t everything that hinders Tues

Thumb Harmonica, I was a bartender for many years. Don’t forget sad lonely guy who would come in on day shift and is the only person in the building with you. You know, the one who would sit staring at your watches and wonders if the smell of your hair? It was also those wouldn’t leave at the closing because they thought that your ability to smile on them for advice has meant that it was indeed something special between you and after threats to call police to leave, but hanging out in the parking lot waiting.

Don’t I understand why everyone so crazy over Sean Avery comment.

The symbol of his personality as a player was always touched by his style on and off the ice.

He said that the day game against his current BF…it ex’s was meant to fan the flames and provide a very physical game (while getting a personal attack on the site, Ms. Cuthbert).

You date celebrity and you run the risk of having your very personal life made public. You become a target for criticism and ridicule…not saying it is fair, but it is the way it is.

Two of Avery’s exes are dating other NHL players…definition of “sloppy seconds” much?

Locker room talk that made in on the air. I am more offended by the Puritans within the Stars organization denouncing him like he just thanked Satan on national TV.

As a lady, Gordo, that was the greatest ladies day in a long time. I had to laugh out loud when the last gal called in and said that she didn’t like you, but that George was her favorite. You are totally my favorite Muser.

Seems we never hear of the Mary Jo Kopechne story in the USA media, they all want to put Teddy boy up on a pedestal when he is a coward and a murderer. Thank you to the guardian.co.uk for printing a story about this horrible incident from 4000 miles away, and shame on the Kopechne for taking a Kennedy pay-off to keep quiet about their daughters murder.

Hmm, I guess if you are an English peasant back in the day, you have to eat whatever you can get. But a pudding made of fat just doesn’t seem too appetizing to me. But be some sort of English comfort food.

Inexplicably, the proposition supporting the construction of a new football stadium gained the student’s approval.
I guess they fooled a whole bunch of kids, or terrorized them like the Republicans are trying to do now w/Healthcare Reform and town-hall meetings.
Anyway, now we get to pay EVEN MORE tuition for the future stadium. ( Future Stadium Fee )
It’s bad enough that tuition costs have gone up nearly 50% in the last 4 years.
NOW there are MORE charges!
All this despite the fact that the former conference- winning ( 4 consecutive times ), only Bowl game win( New Orleans Bowl ) coach was fired, and now a big- shot loosing program coach is at the helm.
Steer on Dr. Morbius! Suck this program dry, and then move on.
AND there have been charges of racial discrimination as well.
Captain Queeg and the U.S.S. Caine all over again.
Will the new stadium surpass Jerry’s $1.2B palace?

” Don’t even begin to compare AGW with Y2k”

I think AGW is a hysterical version of Y2k. The difference is that there was no political value in Y2k. It did not occur during an election year in this country. In addition it had an end-date. Not much political use, once the date was passed.
I am very aware of the actual costs of what had to be done for Y2k. That money was mostly well spent. The excess and hysteria I speak of, is the kind that is completely unrelated to the actual facts. My favorite being the remark that “some coffee makers use controller chips that are vulnerable to the Y2k problem”. Now who the h— sets the date on coffee pot? Never mind what coffee pot relies on the date to actually brew coffee. And what pot would care if the current year ends in 00. It is not calculating interest rates now is it?

AGW is rehashing many of the same cataclysmic end of civilization predictions. The cause is different, the result is all the same. The human race can’t handle it. We are doomed, etc.

The most laughable is the idea that sea-rise will cause massive problems. Who in their right mind can think that a 1-10mm per year over 100 years is going to cause a massive crisis. My possible grand children will be in their fifties! To worry about a three foot sea rise over 100 years is nonsense. Every road, port, rail track, house, building or bridge, in existence today, will have to be replaced/repaired within the next hundred years. Having to move it or raise it a few feet will add little to the overall cost. The areas that are low lying, can do as the Dutch, get a few trucks, a loader or two and add a few feet of dirt and concrete, they’ll have decades to finish the project!
No, the problem is the media. We get idiotic movies like “The day after tomorrow”.

Mankind is very resilient. If we need to we can, and will, prosper in a changing world. Even the idea that there might be mass extinction of plant and animal life is ridiculous. As we develop a better understanding of biology we realize that many species are very adaptable. The few that aren’t we can most likely help, come the time, 40-80-100 years from now.
As, I said. Our children will stand on our shoulders. Look back at the last hundred years, see the enormous challenges and accomplishments. Each generation over the last hundred years have provided enormous leaps forward, using ideas and solutions that were mere fantasies a generation before.
To believe that the next three or four generations coming after us can’t do the same is ignorant. The knowledge we have in store now, is more like a keg of TNT. Future generations will find countless ideas, in every aspect of human existence, and put them to use in ways we are incapable of imagining.
So AGW, if it is real, is no more challenging then Polio, or the nuclear threats of the cold war.

Inappropriate laughter Wednesday .

On February 10, 2010 at 9:03 am Keith in Arlington Said:

Gordon,

Your discussion of inappropriate laughter on the news reminded me of one on Channel 8 back in the late 80’s or early 90’s. I believe the reporter was Valerie Williams and she was doing a report on the blizzard conditions in Amarillo. When they threw it to her it was so windy and cold she could barely get the words out of her mouth. I don’t think my wife and I have laughed harder since.

But when they threw it back to the studio, Tracy Rowlett and his co-anchor ( I can’t remember who ) were laughing out loud as well. Great moment on Channel 8.

I looked for this on YouTube but couldn’t find it. Just wanted to see if you or anyone up there remember that.

An owner who is way too involved in something he’s not really good at doing (running a team).
A general manager who may be the worst GM in football, who coincidentally enough is the owner (that makes two things he’s not good at).
A coaching staff that can’t evaluate talent (Williams and Carpenter,how much of that is Jerry?) much less change their game plans midway through a game. Way too eager to wag their tails as Jerry pets them on the head. The reality is they are all ‘Yes Men’.
And lastly, a group of players who for the most part are just average. Tony will never take this team to an NFC title game much less a super bowl.
Good players with good coaches who have good general managers, and an owner who lets the first three do their jobs will succeed. With the current group, we as fans will have to be content ending the season as we have for the last 12 or 13. God I miss Jimmy!

I don’t understand why Perez Hilton has to ruin it by putting his “signature” on it? I mean it’s on Hole’s website. It isn’t a Perez exclusive.

Awesome! can’t wait for both the record and the show on the 23rd

I say it’ll explode and little magical pieces of apples will come out. that is so funny if will be crushed into millions of little pieces. Depends on what type of blend you desire…I mean, it’ll definitely look like chunks a Transformer blew out after a night of binge drinking, but if you’re looking for puree…ummm…no. Good to know he’s practicing safety first with those nifty protective glasses, if only his lab coat could be as cool. Ha! ipad!.. lame destroy that shit. lol i think it will make a little fire or something

You don’t have a bitch face Nicole. You have a bitch finger! Ha! But that’s why you’re so lovable. With the flick of one finger you let someone know exactly how you’re feeling and that takes talent lady. I wish you nothing but the best of adventures for you and your finger Mz. Alvarez. The one thing I hope for is to one day this year be in the same picture as you and your middle finger…hopefully your finger isn’t pointing in the direction of my face…although that could be cool too. ;P
