espn radio- a wasteland of terribleness

this week i learned that should i ever encounter a day where i'm anxious to blog but just can't come up anything to rip on, i'll just turn on espn radio. on thursday, dana jacobsen had former NFL players lomas brown and ray buchanan on her show to make some preseason picks. besides the fact that they consistently used the reasonably inappropriate line "Beep beep, the short bus is here to pick you up!" when one disagreed with the other's line of thinking, lomas also provided excellent analysis such as (re: the chicago bears)

"You know, they have such a good home field advantage. And when you think about it, that's 8 wins right there."

yeah, let's just go ahead and hand it to them right now. i mean, since 2001 a whole whopping 10 teams have gone unbeaten at home for a whole season. but i think we can pretty much be sure the bears will do so in 2007. i love his use of "when you think about it", as if, well... i know intially you might hesitate to pencil a team in for an undefeated home record before the season starts... but just think about it! it'll come to you.

before chris w gets all huffy about this, i'm not anti-bears. i think they'll probably win the NFC again this year. and they maybe might possibly could go 8-0 at home. i'm just anti-lomas brown.

also, hey ray buchanan: go pick up some more undercover cop prostitutes the night before the super bowl why don't you.
