Mr. S£im Citrus 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2007 Not actually a reason why ESPN sucks, but I'm listening to a podcast of PTI, and hearing Reali breaking up in the background when Kornheiser and LeBatard do a Geico joke is making me break up, too.

hyperchord24 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2007 Speaking of PTI, Lebitard was filling in for Wilbon this week. Here's an interesting argument by Lebitard: Teams should go after guys with histories of run-ins with the law because it'll give them that certain competitive edge, or something.

Cuban Linx 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2007 Here's an interesting argument by Lebitard: Teams should go after guys with histories of run-ins with the law because it'll give them that certain competitive edge, or something. If that's true then the Portland Trailblazers of the last few years should have been the best team of all time. Isiah Rider, Rasheed Wallace, Damon Stoudamire, Ruben Patterson, Zach Randolph, Darius Miles, Sebastian Telfair, Qyntel Woods, can't get much more 'competitive edge' than that bunch.

First of all, I'm not 100% in love with your tone right now. I was cracking up too because Kornheiser seemed legitimately pissed with LeBetard who threw in that totally random Geico joke. I had the same reaction as Reali, actually. That made it even funnier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually his argument was only for football as he cited Ohio State with Maurice Clarett and Nebraska with Lawrence Phillips. And he really said that when you play a violent sport like football, it helps to have players on the cusp/edge of law because they are violent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2007 Well your paraphrasing was too broad, as if it would include basketball and baseball and etc, which led Cuban Linx to chip in with the Portland thing. I made sure to mention that he was talking about football primarily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could see that (I didn't actually see the episode). But then again, maybe I think LeBatard is more of an idiot than he actually is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2007 LeBatard pissed me off a bit on that show when he called the Orange Bowl a matchup of "Two second tier teams." While Wake pretty much is one, U of L has been highly ranked most of the year and came within 3 points of playing Ohio St. for the title. I do think it would be funny if Boise ends up the only unbeaten team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RepoMan 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2007 I did think that LeBatard had a little bit of a point. Football is a violent game and having some legitmently violent guys on your team is not nessacarily a bad thing. The exchange w/ Kornheiser was entertaining, but I think Kornheiser looks like more of the jack ass for not letting the subject rest. It made me not hate LeBatard for a few minutes. What's David Holmes up too? He owned on the faux PTI on Dream Job. Way better than anyone else on the PTI B team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bored 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2007 And God of football Sean Salisbary steak went to USC. Speaking of which: If Sean Salisbury Asks You To Look At His Phone, Don't Do It. The NFL analyst who shall not be named that took a picture of his penis with a cell phone camera and has shown it to numerous, uncomfortable women, then was suspended by his network for it. Absolute true story. Please make sure to clean off the mirror when you are done with it. And The Big Lead learned this morning that the analyst in question was ESPN's Sean Salisbury.
