Bryant Gumbel
Leave it to Bryant Gumbel to say something stupid. I guess he thought he'd get away with it, since about four people in the country watch his god-awful Real Sports program. This week, he took aim at Whitey, and decided to stick it to the man (as opposed to The Man).
"Finally, tonight, the Winter Games. Count me among those who don’t care about them and won’t watch them ... Because they’re so trying ... Like, try not to be incredulous when someone attempts to link these games to those of the ancient Greeks who never heard of skating or skiing. So try not to laugh when someone says these are the world’s greatest athletes, despite a paucity of blacks that makes the Winter Games look like a GOP convention." - Glommed from GOP and the City.
What qualifications does Bryant Gumbel have to speak for the black community? This guy makes Colin Powell look like Flava Flav!
(As for the comparisons to the ancient Greeks, do you think they ever heard of baseball, basketball, badminton, cycling, handball, shooting, soccer, softball, tennis, and volleyball? Ass.)
Shani Davis
The first African-American to qualify on the American Short Track Speedskating Team showed his true colors on Wednesday; and they weren't red, white, and blue. The T.O. of Torino quickly overtook Bode Miller as the biggest a-hole on the U. S. team after foregoing the Team Pursuit event to concentrate on his own personal glory.
"Speed skater Shani Davis won't participate in team pursuit, dealing a severe blow to the United States' hopes of winning a medal in the new Olympic event. Davis said yesterday that he wants to focus on his individual races. He finished seventh in the 5,000 meters yesterday.
'I could care less what other people say about me,' he said. 'I didn't come here to skate the team pursuit.'"
Thank God Bryant Gumbel isn't watching the Winter Olympics. He may have wanted to rethink his position after those comments. There's no "I" in team, Shani; but there is an "M-E."
David "Dick" Gregory
Either Orr's Infant of the Week was truly deserving after his hissy fit during the White House Press Briefing concerning the attempted murder of Dick Cheney's good friend. High atop his Ivory Tower, "Dick" Gregory demanded an explanation why the local yokel newspaper in Texas scooped him. Here's a thought: maybe because NBC and the rest of the media haven't given the current administration a fair shake in over six years! Hey, Dick, the Bush Administration owes you nothing! Dick.
Nice touch on the date thingy!
ReplyDeleteUncle Ray - Thank you, sir! They play the U.S. tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteBraynt is a poser hoser! What in the world does he know about sports anyways, somebody enlighten me has he ever even lettered in a sport?! And knowledge bowl is not a sport!! He is one smug son-of-a- oops Mom is watching!
ReplyDeleteShanie is a pre madonna!
Dick is the only WUSS around here!!
So Wyatt, you think he's a dick? ;)
ReplyDeleteI think both Bryant Gumbel and David Gregory are trying to compensate for something. You know. Something.
ReplyDeleteMay not really be true, but that's my first reaction when men act like whiny b**ches.
There are far better ways to work off anger, though. Aggression usually works. Now, if Gregory had gotten up on the podium and started throwing chairs it would have been more acceptable. And more interesting.
Gumbel: Arse...not worth my breath. Besides, Earpy covered more than well. Hey...Russia had a young lady of color on their curling team, today. Personally, I just watch in admiration. I wouldn't go hurdling through an ice shoot on a flimsy sled--head first.
ReplyDeleteShani=selfish...Is he just jealous of how someone was able to set a goal and meet it?
Gregory: During the press conference in which he threw a hissy, I thought he was going to hurl himself to the floor and start quicking and screaming like a two year old who didn't get a toy he wanted. Double-arse!
Hey Earpy...Tombstone is looking for a new sheriff...
I think the new saying is "There's no I in team, but there's an I in Shani."
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with Bryant, however. The Games should be more reflective of the original Games held in Greece. All the athletes were naked.
(See U.S. Women's Curling, Hockey, etc)
The fact that the original games were all male. . . . . .Not So Much!
Thanks for the link, sheriff.
ReplyDeleteBryant Gumball is weak; Costas isn't doing baseball here; the NBC coverage sucks.
Ssssteve - Agreed on all counts.
ReplyDeleteSK - Yep. He's a DICK!
AFW - And he would have been instantly booked on Jerry Springer!
RT - Sign me up. I don't care what the salary!
Deathlok - Mmm . . . naked U.S. curlers. (Drool.)
Bob - Soitanly! I agree, though, at least with the prime time stuff. The hockey and curling coverage is good, but the prime time stuff is crap.
David Gregory really ticks me off. Thats why I put him on my 2nd Psychos-r-us Cruise.
