Now That's Funny


A Study in Contrasts

A week or so ago, New York anchorman Ernie Anastos dropped an f-bomb on live television. The picture below shows him and co-anchor Dari Alexander reacting after Anastos told their weatherman to “keep (having a loving and committed physical relationship with) that chicken.”

Note the difference in reaction between the person who said the obscenity and [...]

A New Civil War

I live close to Gettysburg, where many people come to learn about the Civil War. They tour the battlefield and visit monuments. Some even go so far as to dress up and take part in re-enactments.
Apparently, one guy had a little too much of those wool uniforms and wanted to start a different kind of [...]

Where’s Coach When You Need Him?

So the soccer team from the Czech Republic had a game the other day. They got all ready to face Latvia in a friendly match.
Problem was, they were playing Lithuania.
D’oh!
Vaclav Tichy, the spokesman for the Czech soccer federation, took responsibility and resigned. His deputy was canned.
No word on whether they have hired Ernie Pantusso to [...]

Basketball Jones

I have the opportunity to listen to a lot of different things on hour-long commute to and from work. One of my favorite programs is “Elliot in the Morning,” the drive-time show from WWDC in Washington, D.C.
A few months ago, Elliot had author Todd Gallagher on to discuss his book “Andy Roddick Beat Me with [...]

Greatest TV Show Ever

Sometimes, life smiles on you. Today is one of those days. The Fox Reality Channel is showing a marathon of the greatest television show in history.
My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance
Steve Bailey - who now plays Joe on Grey’s Anatomy - helped pull off an incredible prank on this show, which ran in 2003-04. I am [...]

America!

College football started tonight
Ohio kid pulls awesome prank, gets suspended (make sure you check out the YouTube)
Wii adds Beirut to its bastion of goodness

To quote Yakof Smirnoff (or whatever his name was), “What a country!”

The Eternal Question

Sports have provided people with fodder for arguments for the ages. Montana or Unitas? Kareem or Wilt? Ruth or Aaron?
Now popular culture has its all-time greatest argument. Who was more unintentionally funny - the Miss Teen USA contestant from South Carolina or the “Boom Goes the Dynamite” guy from a few years ago?
Watch the videos [...]

Den där er faktumet, Domkraft

OK, so I had to go to an online English-to-Swedish translator for the title, but it was worth it. That’s Swedish for “That’s a fact, Jack,” which I can only assume Bill Murray knew how to say when he had his recent run-in with Swedish authorities.
Bill Murray could face a drunken driving charge after cruising [...]
