Desmond Howard (traitor and whiny btch)

[HailToMichigan]

As much as I can't stand Desmond, I like him on the set of GameDay. You know what did if for me? The Michigan State/Notre Dame game. After the game was over, instead of gushing over Weis' genious and miraculous comeback victory, he ripped Michigan State. Hell, he ripped them so bad it was funny. He said, and I'm paraphrasing here, "I never thought the game was over. Why? Because it's Michigan State. When Notre Dame came back, I thought, 'That's why you're Michigan State.'"

Classic stuff.

Hell, that's not paraphrasing. That's almost exactly what he did say. Hilarious. And the best part is, I thought Fowler and Corso would kind of try and back away from that statement, but they ate it up and ran with it. Desmond says, "Coach, you coached in the Big Ten, and I played in the Big Ten, and we both played Michigan State, and we both know that they will find a way to lose!" And Corso ran with it. Best GameDay moment ever.

Well he followed that with the worst analysis ever at halftime tonight. As others were saying, it's hard to believe he's screwing up Texas versus Texas A&M...but hey, it's not like they played a month ago or anything...

WTF?

 

[jwinslow]

He did it twice no less... in the pregame talk, and then in a separate segment at halftime.

actually, kirk, who was calling the game, stated very early during msu's substantial lead that by no means was the game over. herbie repeatedly commented that dismantling was part of sparty's psychology. when msu was up by 17, kirk all but guaranteed that the game would be close by the end.

kirk herbstreit during msu game: "this is what michigan state does" and "that's why they are michigan state."

pucker, pucker, pucker.

pucker, pucker, pucker.

Kirk played four games against the Spartans too, after all. No doubt at some point he probably rallied the Buckeyes from a two-touchdown deficit in East Lansing or something like that. It's like a Big Ten rite of passage.

As for Desmond mixing up Texas and Texas A&M, in his defense, they're practically the same school. Besides the different nicknames, different color jerseys and helmets, different logos, rabid fans who hate each other's schools, urban vs. rural campuses, the whole military thing they've got at A&M......mirror images really. They're both in Texas, and they both do the Hook 'em Horns sign, so there. (A&M tends to hold the sign upside down, that's how you tell a Horn from an Aggie....but Desmond is a Big Ten guy so he shouldn't be expected to know that )

He also just said that without Troy Smith OSU wouldn't stand a chance in the NC. I think thats a little extreme.

I agree, Troy Smith is a BIG help to the Buckeyes, but he isn't the whole team. Without the line he wouldn't make plays. Without the defense we wouldn't be where we are right now. And without the rest of the team scout players, etc... they wouldn't be ready for upcoming games. So that is truely extreme of what he is saying.

Of course it's up on youtube already.

It worked for me.

 

[OSUBucks22]

He's got :scum3: denial... It makes them feel better if they tell themselves that only 1 guy beat them the last 3 years (hence him saying that Smith made the rest of our players good and they would be nothing without him), so when that 1 guy leaves they can hope to turn it around...

Desmond Howard fail English? That's unpossible.

"I am so smart, I am so smart! S-M-R-T, I mean S-M-A-R-T!"

So Desmond's on the Hot Seat today, and they ask him about the Texas/aTm mixup in his comments about the Holiday Bowl. He apologizes to fans of both schools, and says "You don't need me to tell you who your teams are playing in their bowl games, but I'm still picking Cal."

Well, he's got a 50/50 chance of being right even if he doesn't know who is playing the game. Of course a guy fresh off the boat from China who has never even seen a football before can say the same thing.

At least Holtz and Corso can blame it on senility.

What's funny is that the other guys just let him go without correcting him. I think a new slang phrase is in order in honor of this:

"Letting someone go Desmond" should become a new phrase for when a persons lets a friend or acquaintance make a huge fool of themselves without bothering to stop them. Ya know, your drunk average looking buddy decides he's going to score with the hottest chick in the bar, and you just watch the carnage of his failed attempts to win her over and later tell your other friends that you "let him go Desmond."

To me, letting a guy "go desmond" is more like letting your drunk buddy hit on a tranny all night and just smiling as he leaves with his new friend to go seal the deal somewhere.
