A quality mashup of two of your (least) favorite ESPN people. I'll be fucking stunned if (a) ESPN brings Emmitt back for 2008, and (b) Emmitt actually has the temerity to say that he belongs on TV by actually coming back. And I thought he was shitty when he was with the Cardinals.

Deadspin provides us with, whoa hold sti- I, Jeeeeeeesus. It's been up there for two fucking hours!
WhaIuhhh, [flails arms wildly] Has anyone worked on blogs before around here?
Jeeeesus. Ca-can I just link to this? Does it really take that much effort? That's so goddamn rude!

A lot of people make fun of Chris Berman for a lot of reasons. They say mean things about his weight, his thinning hair, his supposedly tired schtick, and the widespread allegations of his infidelity, but he seems nice enough to me. For example, he took time off from his busy schedule working the 2006 Pro Bowl in order to drink a fan's beer.
I doubt ESPN has any rules against drinking at work (have you seen Lou Holtz on the air?), so this should be cool with his bosses. Besides, I can attest to how much fun it is to drink at work. Which reminds me: it's after noon — I'm past due for my first Coors Light tallboy of the day.
(Thanks to dark and mysterious friend HG for the video)
UPDATE: And by "Coors Light Tallboy" I mean "empty Coors Light Tallboy can filled with bathtub gin." Obviously.
My life is just like Chris Berman's. Only I'm not rich or famous and women don't take their shirts off when they see my visage. Wait. Yes they do. But still, I'm not rich or famous. I guess it's a fair trade for not being a fatass with a combover.
By the way: mad, mad love for Sports by Brooks, who not only unearthed this picture, but added the delightful twist in the lower left corner. Cheers, Brooks. And send me the undoctored pic. I'd like to add it to my private collection. For, um, posterity. And by posterity I mean… posterity.
Thanks goes to hunky WL reader Rick of The Coming, who sends this fun little clip from Keith Olbermann's "Countdown" two nights ago:
Yes, look it up, America. Lots of fun to be had with that one.
