Re: More spoilers here... for GREG EASTERBROOK!
[quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"][quote name="Fussbett"]I went back and read the ESPN guy's angry words about the defence password. It's really embarrassing that he misunderstands so much.[/quote] He makes at least three shocking errors in his column each week just about football. You know how, if you watch a show or read a column on something that <b>you</b> know better than the author, there always seems to be mistakes? And you wonder if it's like that with everything, or just the shit you're into? Take Iron Chef. Iron Chef -- technically, Iron Chef America, which is hosted by the same guy who was the ass-kicking Indian in "Brotherhood of the Wolf," which is tops on my "How the Fuck Are They the Same Guy" meter -- is one of those shows you watch with your girlfriend and secretly like it and are unsecretly glad it's not "America's Next Top Model." There's one guy who is definitely not an ass-kicking Indian on ICA. He's this <a href="http://images.quizilla.com/B/BgBearCollegeGuy/1057545257_on_brown_e.jpg">douchebag</a>. I don't know his name. Anyway, he piped up at one point that people who are allergic to penicillin are also allergic to bleu cheese. He just threw that out there on the Food Channel. Food Network. *I* am allergic to penicillin! But not bleu cheese. So I guess that makes me the expert on what causes me to personally faint for our example here. I am the world expert on what makes Jones pass out. If you look at the Carlos Linneaus-style names for all the creatures involved in penicillin and bleu cheese you'd note that the names are similar, but not exact. If you were an idiot you'd say, "close enough!" and tell hundreds of millions of people your incorrect little fact. Easterbrook -- the ESPN guy -- is like that, as near as I can tell, on everything he fucking talks about. He's wrong about blitzing the quarterback ALWAYS being a bad idea and he's apparently wrong about Battlestar Galactica being bad television. In fact, it's looking more and more like he has no credibility on any subject whatsoever and the only reason he's famous at all is because he's able to crank out tens of thousands of words on various subjects each week. Thumbs down. Top of the <a href="my netflix queue, I mean">queue</a>, Cylons, top of the queue! the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey[/quote]
