I have never liked him, but it was especially puke worthy watching him rant on and on that Elway hired a good ole boy in Kubiak, a white friend, and no black coach had the same chance at a relationship with an Elway to get that same kind of chance. WTF?

Guys. Stop.

That sucks. I guess this explains why Cecil had been sitting in for him on 104.3 the fan alot lately.

I enjoyed listening to him.

What? Isn't "screw them ALL!" the general gist of the thread? Screw cable TV in particular: It uses our airwaves to transmit its signals to its cable relay stations—denying those frequencies to EVERYONE in the transmitters vicinity—so should be paying US for the privilege, like all other broadcasters do. It should not CHARGE us to see what it transmits AND charge advertisers to provide ads that are 33% of what we're paying to see anyway. And to top it all off (though this is less true of ESPN and actual news networks) it has far more repeated content than (exclusively) broadcast TV.

If I wanted to live in a country where I pay other people for their use of my airwaves, I'd have stayed in communist Europe.

Joel can even make something so simple as Stink leaving a terrible sports channel into a novel.

Paragraph, novel; it's pretty much the same. #MakeAmericaGruntAgain

LBJ = LeBron James.

When you realize that, you'll realize you wasted five minutes of your life.

I knew whom HE meant, but LRJ means LeBron James: LBJ means the 36th US president, not an athlete du jour who is small potatoes in the grand scheme of things. JFK means Jack Kennedy, not Jim Freaking Kelly. Ask any random person on the street what they think of LBJ and I guarantee nearly every comment will be about Vietnam, the Voting Rights Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and/or the Great Society—unless the street's in front of a junior high.

Sorry, but "King James" and "The Decision" were bad enough; referring to him as "LBJ" just turned the giggle factor up to 11.

wut is even this thread doing

Literally everyone calls him LBJ for short. Seriously dude, you overthink the hell out of shit like this.

He's whining because television networks actually want to pay their employees for their work.
