Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXVXX: Debbie Downers Overtake TWD, Plus Brian Williams Morphs Into Bill Brasky

Beset by give-up urges

As depression surges

A pep talk from Rick

Seems to do the trick

Until a new threat emerges

Trying to steal Beast Mode’s thunder

Is their unoriginal blunder

Call them the new Punk Brothers

Westbrook, Durant and others

Blame the media for what, I wonder?

A racing year has passed

Since I bolted a wreck fast

The vision of Magoo

And schizos in charge, too

Landed someplace I can last

Handchecking every dribble and drive

For fairness, State did strive

No, it wasn’t Cameron Indoor

But the Pack still ruled the floor

Beat Pitino to keep hopes alive

 

Bill Brasky, he thought he was

Fabricates stories, he does

Brian Williams made it all up

Should have to pee in a cup

Shoulda been shit-canned, cuz

Last time …

Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXVXIX: An Agonizing Adieu for TWD’s Gentle Giant, Plus Stewart’s Departure Leaves A Void For Journalism

The moral authority of the team

Made him expendable, it seems

Sloppiness cost us Tyrese

Brought the gang to its knees

Will this group come apart at the seams?

A legend has slipped away

A paver of Tobacco Road, you would say

The Dean of Four Corners

Left lots of mourners

I’ll remember him from the ACC’s glory day

The Grammys, a depressing zoo

A plagiarizing, no-talent crew

A ho-chasing tool

And unoriginal fool

Kanye, they’re laughing at you

Ed Sabol personified the game

Gave the violence a name

Told a story through his art

Film gave football its start

The NFL will never be the same

Blended comedy and commentary

Shined a light on politics scary

Jon Stewart revolutionized news

To the networks, he put the screws

A huge loss for verbal thrust and parry

Last time …

Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXVXIII: Pete Carroll Forgets To Stay Out Of The Way, Plus TWD Tries Not To Jinx Itself

The Seahawks on the verge of bling

And a back-to-back title thing

Then Carroll tried to coach

Thanks to his encroach

Handed Belicheat a sixth ring

Beat up by the league’s dregs

No rebounding and a lack of legs

Passion is lacking

The fouls are stacking

Stop the bleeding, Gottfried begs

Fans jumping ship like roaches

While other teams find good coaches

Latest scapegoat is Mike Wallace

But in this I take solace

Philbin’s last year approaches

I used to enjoy his rap

But he’s just another piece of crap

A fraud who buys ‘hos like lunch

The NFL Network’s got a bunch

This is the tale of Warren Sapp

The first half was kinda great

Will the second uphold the same fate?

“The Walking Dead” is finally back

Can they pick up on the same track?

Or will the pacing once more abate?

Last time …
