MemBengal @ The SportsFrog - As always bringing the heat. He's been working too hard of late, but that won't get him down. Check it:
I do have a few problems with some people:
- To NBC Sports Executives: Stupid. Mother. Fuckers. You have a chance to step outside the box, with your new TV contract, and reward us with a fresh national voice for the NFL. Do you sieze the day? Do you make the most of the moment? No, you serve us the same old trash, warmed over. For godssake, where is the next Al Michaels going to come from if someone does not give the new talent a chance? John Madden? Again? Someone put us all out of our collective misery, now.
- To the Sadists with Huge Minimum Billable Hours Requirements: Yeah, I am looking at you, Mr. 2000 minimum billables-but-to-wow-us-you-need-2400. Hey! Too many hours beyond 2000 lowers the quality of work and
promotes alcolholism. Oh, and it cuts significantly into the blogging time. Assholes. - To the White House: You know, I have decided I don't care if you are watching or listening in on me. I hope you watch at just the right moment while I bend over to your unseen hidden camera and blow a giant fart from my ugly middle-aged bare ass. Private time just ain't what it used to be. But that's what you get when you start peering in things that should never be seen.
- To Hollywood: Stop right now, with the moaning and bitching about how revenues are down. What, ya think? We have just completed one of the more fuck-awful years of movies that I can remember. You took no chances as an industry and people responded with yawns and better things to do with their $20.00. Well, I will give you one thing, I have no problem with Seve Carrell. 40-year-old is now in my top five funniest movies ever list. Why don't you find more fresh talent and writers and see the money flow return? Just a thought.
Happy festivus to all.
Happy Festivus, MemBengal - and Thanks for the love throughout the year.
And a quick final thought on the Sports Frog. They definately were the inspiration to Frank and I when getting things started last April, introduced us to Chiles and are responsible for a huge hunk of our daily readership Essentially, no Sports Frog, and the AofG is a completely different (or even non-existant) place. If Festivus is about bringing the family closer together through pain, the Frog is always getting a seat the table. Thanks, fellas.
I know some of those 2000 billable hour idiots. Preach on brother. Preach on.

At one firm in the city it's not too out of the ordinary for folks to bill 3000 hours. You ever catch me doing that shit, please, just shoot me. Absolutely friggin' retarded.

Well done Bengal. I would have liked a nice dressing down of Brian Billick but this will do.
