This week I talk about sports again, but don't worry next week it'll be about porn again.
July 2006 was a horrible month. There were no issues of Weekly Rant and Harold Reynolds was fired from ESPN. One night Harold was the best in the business and the next he was wondering what happened to his career. On July 26, 2006 Harold Reynolds was fired from ESPN and no reason was given to the press or the Harold. Harold Reynolds was fired form ESPN because he was accused of sexual harassment. When news got out that Harold had been let go from ESPN his fans wondered why. It was almost a month later that "The World Leader" released the news of the allegation of sexual harassment. Harold was then replaced by Steve Phillips, former GM of the Mets.
In 2003 ESPN hired Michael Irvin to be a co-anchor on for its NFL pregame programs. Two years into his career with ESPN on November 25th, 2005 Irvin was pulled over and arrested for having drug paraphernalia. Irvin was suspended for two days and returned to his job. Mr. Reynolds was fired after an ACCUSATION of harassment. Steve Phillips the man who replaced Harold resigned as GM of the Mets in 2003 after an accusation of sexual harassment. If Harold is guilty of what he is accused of then It is fine that ESPN released him of his duties, but to do so with only an accusation is stupid. Reynolds had signed a new contract with the network in March and to fire him mere months later is idiotic. Michael Irvin just as recently as last week had to apologize for racially insensitive remarks he made on ESPN radio. ESPN didn't even care to suspend him this time.
So why does Michael Irvin get to keep his job and Harold lose his?
Street Cred.
Mr. Irvin is a loud mouthed idiot. He has shown that he needs Tom Jackson and Steve Young with him at all times, so he won't say stupid shit on his own. If you ever look at Mr. Irvin on TV you have to watch look away when his smarter colleges try to speak and Irvin cuts them off to tell a funny story about "Mr. Me" Terrell Owens. Harold was smart and articulate. His breakdown of plays were the best in the business. Harold made me understand baseball as a player on the field would without making me feel or look like an idiot. When Mr. Irvin does this he only makes himself look like an idiot.
I guess what I am saying is FUCK MICHAEL IRVIN. BRING BACK HAROLD!
In other news...
Okay so I know what you are saying to yourself. What the fuck happened to the November updates? I am sorry, but it was a tough month for me. I had personal business to attend too. You see something major happened in the month of November. The McRib was back!
You see I have never had a McRib in my life and each year I must fight the onslaught that is McDonald's advertising. It's getting harder and harder each year because with each day my will to live weakens. I had no choice this year, but to lock myself away for the month until the McRib was gone. I locked myself in my room alone with only a VHS of porn, a roll of paper towels, and what was left of my dignity. When the month of November was done two of those things were gone forever. So as I put my Best of the Spice Channel: Anal VHS away I knew I had, but one thing left to do in life. I tried the Jalapeno Burger at Wendy's and it made me sick because it wasn't cooked all the way. (yet I ate all of it...)
FUCK WENDY'S!
Talking Points
We must stop Google now while we still have a chance. Google is taking over the internet and they are not keeping it secret. When I signed into this here blog I had to register my account to configure with my Gmail account. Eblogger is now run by Google. When I go to Myspace at the to corner it say Powered by Goggle. Youtube is now owned by Google. None of that matters though. Recently Mozilla has updated the Firefox browser to include a spell check feature similar to Microsoft Word. When I make a typo it has a red line under it like in work and I have the option to right click the word and choose the correct spelling from a list. I learned that Google officially owns the internet and the free world tonight. When I type in google I get a red line; Google with a capitol G is the only proper way to spell google according to Firefox. Google already has control we must follow it or die.
