ATHLETE JERK LIST: THE UNRETIREMENT EDITION

noreply@blogger.com (Adam) — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 23:04:00 +0000

According to ESPN: (oh, great more highlights of his career on the way, 24/7)
BRETT THE BRAT (yes, BRAT) FAVRE is itching to comeback to the NFL.
I don't think it's fair to their new #1 QB or their fans.
Why play with them and their minds like that?
Stick around or quit, like a man!
"Brat" Favre, you're a jerk!

If Favre decides that he absolutely wants to play this season, the Packers could be confronted with a sensitive issue. The entire offseason has been spent preparing Aaron Rodgers to play quarterback to the point where "the offensive scheme has evolved" and, psychologically, closing the door on Favre's legendary 17-year career.

If the Packers resist a stronger push by Favre to return, sources speculate that the quarterback could press the team to release him from his contract so that he could seek a job with another team. A league official said that Favre could force a decision by asking the Packers, in writing, to reinstate him to active status. The team would have to comply or release him.

How great would it be for GB to release this stiff?
REALLY GREAT!

Other known UNRETIREMENT JERKS:
Magic
Jordan
Clemens

WADE IN TODAY'S BOSTON HERALD!!!!!!

So long Hazel Mae - we hope not too long
By Gayle Fee and Laura Raposa | Friday, June 27, 2008 | The Inside Track
Boston Herald

Today we must bid a fond - and sad - farewell to NESN vixen Hazel Mae, who will do her final “SportsDesk” update tonight, wrapping up four fun-filled years at the Red Sox [team stats] station.

As of yesterday, Hazel had disappeared from NESN’s Web site and the guessing games began on where Mae may end up. The hot rumor du jour: Comcast Sports Net, which hosts the Celtics [team stats]. But we’re told that isn’t happening - at the moment, anyway. And for what it’s worth, the longtime Hazel-to-ESPN scenario is also reportedly a non-starter. Which leaves the speculation around Channel 4, which recently jettisoned longtime sports anchor Bob Lobel.

Mae is mum on her future plans, saying she has no new gig yet. However, that may be because her contract with NESN doesn’t run out until the end of next month.

Whatev, as long as Hazel remains in the jurisdiction, we are good with it. Because the Toronto import has been nothing but fun, fun, fun since landing in the Hub.

Hazel was a regular on the dating circuit and had no compunction about stepping out with the guys she covered. In fact, Mae once told an Internet blogger that NESN had no rules against hooking up with players - and if they did, she wouldn’t work there!

She dated ex-Celtic Ricky Davis and ESPN “SportsCenter” anchor Steve Levy and was linked to ex-Toronto Blue Jay Kevin Barker. On WEEI she joked with yakker Mike Adams about wearing a thong.

The fun-lovin’ jock-talker was so popular with the male NESN viewers, a cardboard cutout of Hazel sold for $400 on eBay. Comedian Adam Wade wrote an “Ode to Hazel Mae” about the “SportsDesk” siren and got a gazillion hits when he put it on his Web site.

The departure of Mae, who hosted the “Ultimate Red Sox Show” and “The Buzz,” in addition to “SportsDesk” is the second high-profile exit from NESN in four months. In February, Sox go-to gal Tina Cervasio left the station after failing to agree on a new contract. NESN replaced Tina with California blow-in Heidi Watney.

IF YOU'RE IN VERMONT.../PROPS TO TEDDY COLUCA

noreply@blogger.com (Adam) — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 14:38:00 +0000

My friend, THE GREAT TEDDY COLUCA who stole the show from Rosie Perez in 'The Ritz' on Broadway last year is now in Vermont and doing some GREAT WORK as YOGI BERA, if you are in the area you MUST check this guy out. Not only is he an amazing actor, he's an amazing person.

GLOWING REVIEW (read all of it here)!
Coluca holds the audience in the palm of his hand every moment. He convulses everyone with many of Yogi's humorous twists of the English language that somehow made perfect sense. One of my favorites has always been "Nobody goes there any more. It's too crowded."

Whether you are a baseball fan or not, you can't escape admiring Coluca's performance, while he reveals Yogi as a man with a heart and soul.

MONDAY RUNAROUND/CARLIN RIP

noreply@blogger.com (Adam) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 13:32:00 +0000

Comedy Legend George Calin passed away today, and instead of writing about his important impact on comedy (click here for some of that), I'd like to just share a memory I have of him.

Less than four years ago, when I worked on 'Tough Crowd With Colin Quinn' Mr. Carlin was on the show as a guest. I was asked to get him a bottle of Diet 7up at the deli next to the studio. I brought it into his dressing room and he thanked me and asked me what I did on the show. It was a one minute conversation at the most, but the fact he cared and seemed so genuine made a lasting impression on me.

Ten minutes later I was in the bathroom taking a leak, when he came in followed shortly after by Colin. Colin being the class act he is, introduced me to his idol. Mr. Carlin told him, "Oh, Adam, him and I go way back. Isn't that right, Adam?" I smiled, Colin laughed and shook his head.

THIS NEVER GETS OLD!

NBC Sports and the University of Notre Dame signed a new five-year pact allowing NBC to televise Notre Dame home football games through 2015, which takes the partnership to 25 years since it began in 1991. The terms give NBC rights to eight Notre Dame home games from 2011-2015: seven games at Notre Dame Stadium and an extra eighth off-site home game for the network's primetime schedule each year.

First off Celtics Lakers Game 6 Predictions
BOSTON IS READY!!!!!!

ADAM:
I think the Celtics will scrap by and pull it off to win their 17th championship banner tonight.

ADAM'S BROTHER MATT'S PREDICTIONS:
The Celtics will win the game tonight. Paul Pierce will have another great game and get the series MVP. Will Larry Bird be in attendance? I predict the C's will win (104-87). Look for a good game by KG and also Rondo. It is only fitting that the C's win #17 on the 17th. Then, starting tomorrow we can focus on the Red Sox and in a few months the Patriots. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Dad!

ADAM'S BROTHER MATT'S PREDICTIONS:
Hope things turn around in Game 4 or it is even, 2-2. Have a great day.
[editor's note: this is a pretty lame prediciton, I think Matty is debating how he really feels.]

The Celtics played like an elementary school CYO team last night. It was their game to win. I almost threw up in my mouth watching the game (twice). Too bad, I honestly love the C's but think they're gonna lose the series in 7. I hope I'm wrong.

Great article on a young Manny today in the Globe.
