Deep Thoughts By No-Look McFadden: Episode 37


#1
Dude ... Britain. Why are you fucking with the pint? Don't do this, man. I'm visiting your country next week.

#2
Mark May has long been the resident douche at ESPN, though he has faced stiff competition. He finally went off the deep end, though, demanding that his alma mater, Pittsburgh, hire Rich Rodriquez. He literally stared at the camera and lambasted the Pitt AD, telling him what he “needs” to do as a stunned Lou Holtz (redundant?) and Rece Davis looked on. Holtz gathered himself long enough to half-jokingly blast May for not only being an analyst, but also DickRod’s agent and the Pittsburgh athletic director. Bottom line, plain and simple, May should lose his job.

#3
I simply love this concept: “inch-vesting.” Read about how it’s working in Detroit.

#4
The power of the InterWebs: Ted Williams, homeless dude with “golden voice.” Found in Cleveland, becomes viral sensation, lands home and job with Cleveland Cavaliers, lengthy criminal background unveiled, subsequent arrest in Los Angeles ensues. These are the times we live in, friends.

#5
Wisconsin tailback John Clay has a giant Bob Marley tattoo on his arm. Way to throw those NCAA drug testers off your scent, man.

#6
OK, this photo from the Philippines is creepy as hell. If you don’t get the shivers from this one, you ain’t alive.

#7
After a nice thrashing of West Virginia in their bowl game, NC State doused coach Tom O’Brien with Gatorade. And the only thing that kept going through my mind is that you never sneak up on a Green Beret, man; he may actually end up killing you on accident. And that would be a tough one to write up on the injury report.

#8
So new Denver Broncos personnel honcho John Elway has taken the hiring process of the head coach onto Twitter, soliciting questions from fans and posting snippets of the interviews. Look, I’m all for “transparency”; but there’s transparency, and then there’s looking like you don’t have a goddam clue.

#9
I know Michigan has had trouble hiring coaches recently, but I never thought they’d go far enough down the list to land Notre Dame alum and ESPN radio guy Mike Golic. Seriously, though, has anyone ever seen Golic and Brady Hoke in the same place at the same time?

#10
I don’t have the time or energy to do the Arizona shootings justice here. All I will say is that I hope this paves the way for some real investigation of the lies and paranoia that are being pumped out to semi-ignorant ‘necks as “news.”
