ESPN (A bunch of Death-Spiraling maroons)

[lvbuckeye]

those idiots had three nominees for the player of the week. they're all from the same conference. guess which one?

 

[malibuspeedrace]

Mountain west is my guess.

 

[Mike80]

Any updates on Brett Favre? LeBron? The Yankees - Redsox? I feel there should be more news about Tebow, what's up with that? And... while we're at it, are we ready to declare the Seminoles the greatest team of all time?

Who's More Now?!?

But wait there's more - shouldn't we be hearing news about what some WNBA players are doing, well, anywhere? Or how about another infomercial for the E$$$ECPN Network?

I'm gonna guess 1st Colonial. William & Mary's Tribe is a powerhouse.

Actually, they lost to Virginia Tech last week. I know a lot about William & Mary losing at football. I spent most of my childhood in Williamsburg, and they seemed to always lose. Pretty little school, though. Their homecoming parades were a big deal, too. Eisenhower was in the parade one year. (Helps when your small town was renovated by the Rockefellers.)

Keep meaning to ask, does ANYONE think Frank Caliendo is funny? If so, can you cite a specific routine he has done that made you laugh?

I just wanna know who at ESecPN he's sleeping with, 'cause that's my only explanation for his continued employment there.

 

[BuckeyeSoldier]

I was amused by the barkley doing the you cant handle the truth bit.. the others were pretty bleh

 

[BUCKYLE]

He's not funny. I assume they keep him employed because they cater to stupid people.

I must be stoopid cuz I likes me some Frank Caliendo impressions.



The Animal House bit that followed had some good moments too.

This was a few weeks back but it was one of the best things I've heard on ESPN radio:

 

[BUCKYLE]

I was being harsh. I just can't stand the guy.

But you're stupid for listening to espn radio.

 

[BayBuck]

I always feel the same way when I'm doing it, but Mike & Mike is basically generic and inoffensive, which makes it decent background sports noise while I'm waking up on my morning commute. Plus they do get some good guests just for being on the "World Wide Leader", i.e. Frank Caliendo for us dummies. I would love for CBS Sports radio to be a viable alternative, but I just can't listen to TBD at all. A scUMmer and ESPN alum? Ugh, Dana Jacobson is the worst.

That is so true: seeing him doing the voices does ruin the effect to some extent.

 

[kujirakira]

Seeing his impressions is kind of like pulling the curtain back; seeing how utterly dependent all the "analysts" are on cliches and practiced mannerisms.
That was obvious from the start, but having a tool like Gruden "analyze" something ridiculous brings it home in a different way.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Frosty Tips impression.

 

[Bucky32]

Frank Caliendo makes Carrot Top look like Richard Pyror.

 

[Buckeyeskickbuttocks]

A roided out Richard Pryor, I think you mean
