Around The FanTake Network

Why are you up this late? Who owns Liverpool?

They were cool with 5th down? Really? Good for those guys. I can’t wait for the Oregon site, Riese’s rangers.

I expect a better name from my fantake overlords, but it’s good to be mentioned.

Spence Park is the best forum on the interwebs regardless of genre.

And I pronounced reportage in my head the same way as “corsage.” Just wanted to be sure we’re on the same page (pronounced podge) on that.

With that accent, Ded would have graduated summa at Tech, an Alistair Cooke of the High Plains.

You’ll lose readers if you keep writing unbelievable stuff, Scip.

I just wish someone would get around to adding “fantake” into the links at the bottom of the older blog sites… so those of us who are lazy don’t have to..

Scip, great pick for the World Cup! I have a swashbuckling friend of sorts that I’ve tried repeatedly to get into soccer. I once chided him that he couldn’t name a single team. He proceeded to start naming countries. Point, WINNER!

If you don’t enjoy World Cup soccer you are in the wrong bar. Find where the fans are going to watch their native country and enjoy. To be more exact, check out Argentina, Brazil, Spain, Holland, Greece, and Nigeria.

Per that one post that mentioned “ravekkake” I thought about going with “magnusbleukkake.” Just thought I’d throw that out there.

Oh yeah, Clipper Cooper > Alexander The Great.

Very smart post, for a number of reasons. This shit is going to take off. Y’all need to tap SEC country more fervently. I realize you struck gold with Blake Stansbury, but can’t you find another person in that neck of the woods with an SAT over 970 that can talk ‘Bama or LSU? Pull them off their sister and make it happen. Maybe see if you can get 3MNC’s to leave his embassadorship and write.

All I see is Fantakke

It was actually the next line in dedfischer’s post that hit home for me:

In the meantime, Lance Armstrong has spawned a whole new demographic of homeless people, who rely on rickshaws and the middle of the street as a means of transportation. I’ve been stuck behind about a half dozen in the last couple of months. Thanks, Lance.

Look, I get the bike thing. I rode one everywhere in college and still try to kill myself on a mountain bike in parks all around Austin but there is a disturbing trend in Austin of bikers pretending they are cars, riding in the middle of the fucking lane at 14 mph because their fixed gear bikes can’t go any faster. This is asking for a one way trip to Brackenridge. And the no bike lane excuse doesn’t fly anymore because they’re everywhere now and most of them are even painted green. Maybe start using them and save your life from a distracted Tahoe driver sending an important text. /bike rant.

Scipio,

Regarding your forced attempt at understanding/enjoying soccer, you picked a rough time to adopt Liverpool. Their manager is a bloated egotistical dipshit, their roster is aging and injuries have not been kind. But I’m glad you didn’t jump on the Arsenal bandwagon where magnusbleuveigner flies his rainbow flag daily. Or is it a Barca wagon? Dude likes everyone. If you want to piss of Huckleberry, root for Chelsea or Man U.

And if you really want to go all in with it, adopt a former Premier League team like Crystal Palace or Newcastle and cease all life duties until said team makes it back to the EPL. It could be a year or it could be ten. Just know that this time spent is more important that anything else you could be doing and you will have efficiently adopted the adult English male mindset. You might also try not brushing your teeth for a year.

And let’s not short the Al-Jazeera broadcast from the Rose Bowl on your meager list of e-ccomplishments.

The posts of some guys who played soccer in HS and watch EPL matches on FSC aren’t interesting unless the writers are exceedingly talented and knowledgeable about the subject matter, which isn’t the case on Pitchmen.

BC is successful because some of the bloggers are fantastic writers and some have, or at least appear to have, “inside” information into the programs they cover.

I should start a cricket site. That way we can debate match fixing and googlies.

Ahem, fuck you.

Vash, It’s a Henrik Larsson and Terry Henry thing for me. {Stick to College Sports} It’s Thierry Henry, dipshit!{Stick to College Sports} Again, fuck you.

Pitchmen is a good fix for me.

Scipio’s soccer takes do not usually extend beyond mocking the Dutch for their tightness. Hopefully once the Copa begins he will extend his country-wide stereotyping and join us in mocking all of the other countries involved too.

EnglishAg will be glad to have some company. Liverpool sucks ass right now, and the same guy that ruined the Rangers and MLB has taken a pretty good run at ruining them (Longhorn or not, dude needs to stay out of sports franchises).

Magnus: Hispanola, Yugoslavia, and the Wiemar Republic.

Stick to,

We actually have a direct pipeline to the highest levels of the EPL which I access daily from Houston. Not really. Dude, we live in AMERICA (except for EnglishAg, who obviously hates our freedom and wants the terrorists to win).

But here’s the thing — some folks DO like the sport and reading about it from people who have OPINIONS on it. Come on over, pick a real handle, and challenge the opinions that you don’t like. Or don’t read it. Whatevs.

But coming on an internet posting site and complaining that people don’t have sufficient “inside” knowledge or lack sparkling writing ability is a bit like moving to the Sahara and complaining that it doesn’t rain.

Toad, I gotta feeling that that’s our boy alincoln. If that’s the case, then dude knows the sport. He’s also a fuckbag. Quit being diplomatic. Some people need a skullfucking. This cat has a bone to pick. Fuck him.

“Hello? Is this thing on?”

Why are you up this late? Who owns Liverpool?

Sir Thomas Hicks. Owner of the Stars, Rangers, A rodeo, half of Argentina and half of Liverpool.

Manchester United, aka America’s team, for life! You can call me a glory hunter if you’d like. I’ve been in love since I was a wee one. If you’re going to start following an EPL team might as well follow the best.

The lack of tabletennis coverage here is an embarrassment. Set me up with a site and I’ll fill that fucker full of traffic.

I don’t care what site you set Nordberg up, I’d read it. Color me a fan.

Swash, I see you’re astutely reading BC this fine Spring morn. What, no Greenland? Those boys can ball.

Flame, F ManUre and that Garbage Pail Kid Wayne Rooney.

Okay then.

“Don’t Ask Me Whar I Bin, Woman! I’m Here Now, Is All You Need To Know.”

That’s straight out of McCarthy right there.

Where you been Llewelyn?

You don’t need to know everything Carla Jean.

Joseph or Jenny?

P Drez and Toadvine do a great job of getting good content up on Pitchmen quickly. Not sure what else you could ask for. My dumb ass needs to remember to check the content before I dive into writing a story only to find it was posted HOURS ago. Keep up the good work!

Apparently Scipio doesn’t approve of the FLV summer hiatus.

Speaking of, I passed on a trip to the Derby this weekend. Just couldn’t pull the trigger. dick, who’s your horse, literally? If you can’t answer this, you shall be banished to the bowels of Recruitocosm for eternity.

Gimme a Go Gatah site.

Dammit, I think you knew damn well we couldn’t indulge in fantakke at work. Way to be cruel on a Friday.

I can’t wait to see the Nickel Rover recap of this one.

Why am I getting an Amway vibe?

Triston,

World Cup gambling may be in the cards.

What’s with all the Italians?

And with that, they’re gone.

Thanks for the roundup, it’s nice to know how active the network is becoming.

Of course, we should be able to get to these sites without a wrap-up post. Something like a drop-down menu would be great – or else update those entries in “Our Other Blogs” in the page footer.

Unless the object is to get us to bookmark every site. But that’s not feasible to me because they’ll just crowd out all of my, um, Eastern Europe-centric sites.

Where’s NASCAR?

It will be part of Teddy Dupay’s site.

As a Liverpool fan you must watch and learn this:

Stay tuned, CJD. Lots of new stuff coming.

Don’t forget about the boys (and girl) over at SMU. We are pretty much dormant right now, too, but will be coming back strong once football season gets nearer.

I need to develop a thicker crust.

Tom Hicks is a fuckstick who is wealthy in Huckelberry’s language. He’s selling all his franchises. The dude needs the Moses of PR.

I originally heard the network name as “FanCake”. Like pancake, but for fans.

Unfortunately someone had beat us to the domain.

The line between hilarious entertainment and criminal assault or abduction is a blurry thing indeed in Japan.

SCIPIO???!!!!He’s a grouchy bulldog.He regularly belittles his fans and often refers to us as "wasted space He’s mean.

Pete -
 
Guilty.

Really good looking babe. Where can I find more pics of her?
