A blog dedicated to venting frustration about dumb members of the sports media via angry commentary.
No, we're not the first guys to do this kind of thing. Still, Jay Mariotti and several other prominent members of the national sports media need to lose their jobs. We want to facilitate that process any way we can.
Feel free to direct any pressing questions or comments to any or all of us at firejaymariotti@gmail.com.
Before people nitpickier than I am jump on this, no, the second "bust" was not a play on words intended to mean "head and upper chest", as in on display in the Hall of Fame.
Even if it was, one good season does not a HOF "bust" make. Although LeBatard isn't that bad, relative to other national sportswriters. Have you ever seen one of his chats? Pretty enjoyable, he cuts to the chase, answers a ton of questions, and generally makes me hate Bill Simmons even more than I already do.
Couldn't have been that. Either he thought of it in real-time (probability of .0001%), or thought about it beforehand and was like "yeah, I'll say this thing that like 2% of people will 'get' when they hear it in real-time".

ReplyDeleteExcept that's exactly what he meant, whether you agree or not that 1) Mario Williams is headed for the HoF, or 2) it was a clever pun (it wasn't).
Suck it up. They can't all be diamonds.
