You know you’re onto something good when the first 40 seconds of your minute-20 video is about how everyone you know thinks you’re terrible. Regardless, Mike & Mike in the Morning had the ‘idear’ of doing a Gangnam Style parody, so now that’s a thing that exists.

A quick question for producer William: Did you get the idear from the 400,000 other people who did a Gangnam Style parody video? Because it’s the end of October, and that shit was barely timely a week into September. Also, was your parody idear to just do the Gangnam Style video badly? Because that’s not really a parody. That’s just you doing a horse-humpy dance and putting it on YouTube.

Ah well, I can only throw so much shade at them when literally everyone else in the world has done the same thing. There are starving children in the Sudan somewhere trying to find an elevator for their Gangnam Style parody.

Hey Burnsy, do you own a pair of sunglasses? I’ve got a great idea for tomorrow’s posts.

An election year is the perfect time to point out that the people of the United States can’t agree about anything. We can’t agree on whether or not people should have human rights, we can’t agree on what constitutes conception or murder and we let ‘The King Of Queens’ run for 9 seasons and keep shows like ‘Parks And Recreation’ on the cancelation bubble. We’re emotionally and socially f**ked, but the one thing I think we can all agree on is that the NFL Pro Bowl is the most worthless thing we do annually and nobody would be sad if they kicked it in the ribs and tossed it in the garbage.

It looks like garbage day has finally arrived.

Here’s what ESPN’s Chris Mortensen said to Mike and Mike this morning on ‘Mike and Mike in the Morning’:

“The league is moving toward suspending the Pro Bowl, possibly this year. As one person told me last night, it is DOA, Dead on Arrival. At the same time, the league, I believe, will instruct teams to continue to put Pro Bowl incentives in contracts; if players have Pro Bowl incentives, to go ahead and pay them so they don’t have a problem with the union.

“Right now, the Pro Bowl is on the calendar for the week before the Super Bowl, but there’s no game site that is listed, if you look at it closely. The reason why is, after a lot of discussion, I think this commissioner Roger Goodell and other league people, and even some of the players, are basically saying, as Aaron Rodgers criticized last year’s performance, that there’s no reason to play in the Pro Bowl.”

Everyone’s so okay with this that even the commenters at Shutdown Corner have taken a break from demanding the firing of everyone with blogging privileges to post “yeah the pro bowl sucks get rid of it”.

And Aaron Rodgers is totally right — there is no reason to play in the Pro Bowl, unless you want to add a tiny amount of additional money to your Football Guy moneybin. If they’re going to keep doing it, they need to fun it up a little and make it like an episode of ‘GUTS’. Give everybody flags and nerf balls and maybe kayaks and see who can score the most points before Mo blows the whistle. At least then you’d have the aging ironic viewership, and SOMEBODY would be watching.

In a story that threatens to destroy Twitter, former Chicago Bulls second banana legend Scottie Pippen went on ESPN’s Mike and Mike (and mike) in the Morning this morning and said, and I quote (because I don’t want to type it myself):

“Michael Jordan is probably the greatest scorer to ever play in the game. But I may go as far to say Lebron James may be the the greatest player to ever play the game.”

To put this into perspective, imagine if John Stockton went on The Today Show and said Karl Malone was okay, he guesses, but he wishes he could’ve passed the ball to Tom Chambers more often. Imagine if Chico Marx could somehow communicate from the grave about how much funnier Jeff Foxworthy is than Groucho. Imagine if Laurel said f**k Hardy and teamed up with Costello. This is the situation Scottie Pippen has put us in. And that doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of how full of a horse’s sh:t he is, or how angry Kobe Bryant should be about being the B.J. Armstrong in Pippen’s comparison.

I’m no basketball analyst, and living in Cleveland for four years turned me into exactly the kind of LeBron James fan you’d expect, so I’m not going to pretend to invalidate Pippen’s opinion. If he thinks Zydrunas Ilgauskas could lay up a mudhole in Kareen Abdul-Jabbar, so be it. But come on, man, saying LeBron is better than Jordan? LeBron isn’t even the best player on his team. What’s next, Benedict Arnold looks like he could end up being a pretty great leader?

I'm not sure how Jeffrey Ross can be so mediocre at stand-up but so amazing at celebrity roasts, but who cares as long as he's calling Mike & Mike boring and ugly and making fun of Mike Ditka's impotence.  Man I would have loved to have been in the audience for this.  Because I totally would have taken advantage of Dana Jacobsen.  Hey, I like a handsome woman with a strong jaw.
