Uncle Morty On HBO

So who here saw the premier of Joe Buck Live tonight?  First guest?  Brett Favre.  Soon there followed by Chad Ochocinco & Michael Irvin together.  85 brought up a great point in that he (like T.O.) have never been in trouble with the law.  Maybe he is just an a-hole?

Anyhow, the topic of the night was sports celebrity.  Funny sketch with David Koecher  coaching a little league baseball team about how to become a famous athlete.  "Who here knows who Morten Andersen is?".  The kids nod "no" and he tells them that he has scored more points in the NFL than anyone else.  He then asks "Who here knows who Tony Romo is?" they all raise their hands.

By the way: Why on earth would anyone think that Arite Lange is anything close to funny?  He was on a panel and mouthed off about how he is on Howard Stern and pretty much just tried to be controversial for no reason what so ever.  What an idiot.  Makes me wonder about Howard Stern fans in general.

Quote of the year

So Michael Irvin was Buck’s guest last night as well. When asked about Artie Lange’s attacking Joe Buck on live TV he said:

 “It’s just refreshing to see white-on-white crime”

In a way, each of us has an El Guapo to face.

That's pretty funny

Irvin has always had a good sense of humor. As for the show though, I don’t like Joe Buck doing anything other than disappearing from the public. If it’s not that, then I’m passing on it.

Kind of up in the air about Buck, too

As a Cardinals fan, I loved his dad, but Joe’s never done it for me. Sounds like he had some funny bits, though.

Maybe he's better in a different setting

But his announcing up to this point has been horrible so I would find it hard for me, personally, to give him a chance with a show like this. I’m very picky when it comes to announcers though.

This is true.

Hands down, one of the best in the business.

I'm used to the garbage of

Ron Pitts and Tony Boselli. I’m not trying to be mean, but these guys just don’t do it for me. I feel like they only make obvious statements and miss obvious stuff on the field regularly. That said, I’m sure it’s a pretty tough gig.

I agree

one of the worst teams in the rotation.

Just so it's clear

I'd back slowly out of the room

If my back wasn’t to a window.
