yeah! you noticed it too, eh? He can barely get the words out. And keeps repeating himself about UCLA gotta get going, either that, or he played em.
Wouldn't think ESPN would have much tolerance for that.

true story

in 1991 as we all know - i worked in bristol at espn

well, in september i came out here for a few weeks of vacation. during that time ucla played a game @ SDSU. i spoke to the production people and arranged to be mike gottfried's spotter for the game. for the entire game i stood RIGHT NEXT to him helping him out with who made tackles and all that kind of stuff.

all was OK until the end when ucla was killing sdsu and both teams cleared the benhces for the reserves. gottfried was clueless about some of the players. i would point them out to him on the chart - but he couldn't see them. he literally had to take the chart and stick it about 5 inches from his face to see the names/numbers - which were about a few inches in size to begin with. that was 13+ years ago and i can't imagine his eyesight has gotten any better over time!
 

Oh boy!

I kind of felt sorry for the guy because I thought he sounded like someone who had a stroke or maybe was a little slow. Then I wondered why ESPN would employ a slow-talker like that. Now I know he probably was more sober in earlier games he broadcast.

Being jealous gets you nowhere in life. Your wife appears to be the brighter of the 2 of you so I wish she would b#@!$ slap some sense into you.

BTW, how is old man Joe gonna ruin this new superstar recruit once he gets up there at P S Stinkin U????

Just remember a couple of things about Pitt dear Mr. P S Stinkin U fan.

1) 9 Time National Champions
2) 12-0. Last score of the Pitt-Stinkin U game since old man Joe refuses to get his a$$ handed to him anymore.

So to all you P S Stinkin U fans ------ :finger:

LOL Once a sPITTer always a sPITTer!! 40,000 empty seats and growing! Staying in a $hitt conference to back your way into a BCS bowl that you will get destroyed at is no way to go through life!

Still bitter about Morelli? Good! How about Justin King? Oh that's right...he realized he wanted to go to a REAL SCHOOL and told sPitt to :finger:!! Who also just got a commitment from the #1 recruit in the nation?!! Not sPitt! :nono5:

Only in the Big Least can you go to a BCS bowl for almost losing to Temple and Furman. Good luck recruiting against Hofstra and Slippery Rock for that DB that runs a 5.3 40. We're on our way back to the top of the mountain while you will be floundering around with Wannstedt! Pitiful!

P.S. Only one more question for the sPitt people on this board...why did the Utes end up with over half of your ticket allotment?

:party:

Friends don't let friends attend $hitt!


(For those who aren't aware of the rivalry...Penn State and sPitt don't get along very well. It's just the way it has always been and the way it will always be. Sorry for any confusion). :103631605

Oh my here we go again. See Sportsbet this is why these teams should be playing one another. I hate PS Stinking U and your jealous of Pitt.

As for Morelli, I will take Palko any day of the year over that knucklehead. I guess you didnt hear the reason why Morelli came up there instead of being a man and living up to his word. He looked at Walt Harris play book and realized for someone as dumb as a rock (Morelli that is) he could never catch on. So he went up there to PS Stinkin U since that vanilla playbook is much easier to learn. You will see before its all said and done what a knucklehead this kid is, trust me on that one.

I know your not very educated just by the 2 teams you root for so let me give you a little education on Justin King. His stepdad and high school coach is a PS Stinkin U alumini so his decision to go up there really was a no brainer. The jury is still out on him, he was a stud running back in h.s. since the old man let him score 5 tds in about 4 games this year against inferior competition. When it counted he came up lame in the first game against the best team in the state and in the second game his boys were shutout and stud back played the whole game. The boy is a little soft which will fit the PS Stinkin U mold just fine.

As for the conference crying you PS Stinkin U celler dwellers like to do, we have no control over schools jumping for the money and not giving a rats a$$ about anything else. Miami and Virginia Tech are 2 solid programs and to be honest with you both belong in The ACC not The Big East. B.C. on the other hand sold their soul and will regret the decision every year since they will be the PS Stinkin U of the ACC in football and hoops for many years to come.

I do agree with you on one point and it pains me to say that, believe me. The empty seats in Heinz Field is a real joke year in and year out. The people around here care about one thing and one thing only and that is of the soon to be Super Bowl Champions, Pittsburgh Steelers. Oh wait you dont want to get be started on that now do you Mr. Sportsbet??????

Tell your wife who I must say again appears to be the smart one of the house Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!! Now you just sit there with her on New Years night and enjoy Pitt +15 and have visions of Morelli throwing the ball to your stud recruit and King chasing down opposing receivers. Then wake up and do a little :dancefool as the mighty Panthers of Pittsburgh cover the spread and perhaps win the game against the OVER RATED utes of Utah.

As for everyone else on this board, Sportbet is right, Pitt and PS Stinkin U people do not get along and neither of us expect anyone else to understand the last 3 threads in this topic.

He's calling the Ore St-ND game tonight....can't believe he got away with calling the UCLA-Wyoming game drunk...just goes to prove, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas".
