Strange stuff on ESPN NCAA tourney coverage
« on: March 14, 2011, 09:26:42 PM »
So I am watching ESPN coverage and they have these promos where famous dudes talk all dramatically a champions and heros and heart and blah, blah, blah...

....and I'm like, what the eff are they doing digging this dude up?





And then they hit me with this...


I just sat there waiting for the punch line, and nothing.  They seriously hired Jim rough ridin' Gaffigan to do their uber serious tournament dramatic spots?   What the eff is that?  :dunno:  That's the hot pocket joke guy, right?

Love Jim Gaffigan. I have no idea what you're talking about though...
Sometimes I think of the Book of Job and how God likes to really eff with people.

Fifteen minutes later, when the Kansas locker room opened its doors to the media, the Jayhawks were still crying. Literally, bawling. All of them. I've never seen anything like it, and I've seen devastated college locker rooms -- after losses in the Final Four, the national championship game -- ever

I have used the "You want a shot of Jager...You want 8 of them?" line on my wife a minimum of once a month since we started dating 8 years ago.
I got a guy on the other line about some white walls

Giving somebody a flask for a present is like saying, "Hey.  You look like a drunk on the go."
