CANCEL ALL SPORTING NEWS SUBSCRIPTIONS AT ONCE!

Yes, I'm talking to the seven of you out there that still receive this rag in the mail.

Star-divide

And for those of you that long ago canceled long ago that wish to point out The Sporting News reallocated its meager resources towards a fantasy sports-heavy model mixed in with occasionally astute online commentary from respected bloggers like Dan Shanoff and mgoblog Schauspieldirektor Brian Cook... well, you would be right.

But now they've gone and done something really stupid -- approaching such an unacceptable level of stupidity such that we may have to align our vast resources to cause immediate and irreparable harm to all SN operations and its sympathizers. Faisal Shahzad? Probably a subscriber. Here's why:

The Sporting News fucking left TEXAS out of their fucking Top 10 list.

 

Fuck that! Total bullshit.

The gentlemen soon-to-be-formerly-known-as Mark Hayes and
Dave Curtis (nice fake double first-name byline there Dave, or is it Curtis? IT'S DAVE CURTIS!), curry favor towards these supposedly more dominant college football teams than the one, you know, that just played in a fucking national championship game. Against the fucking national champion. Who is not surprisingly #1 on this shit-tastic list, despite being piloted by a quarterback with only slightly better skills and much worse fucking hair than Brody fucking Croyle. The right kind of coiff -- the SEC Swoop worn proudly by douchebags like Jay Cutler -- is extremely important in a conference this fucking difficult where you go up against SEC Defenses every week and Greg McElroy's disregard for this tradition shall not go unpunished!

Does the rampant , unchecked use of bold letters convey my seriousness about this fucking situation?

 

I'm calling 9-3 for Bama in a fitting Karma Chamelion type of Buzzcut Bukkake for Nick Saban. And he'll probably blame it on British Petroleum.

Anyway, here's the piece of shit list. I'm so exhausted and disgusted by this slight that I can't even muster the words to comment on it but here goes.

1. Alabama I guess Marcel Dareus is pretty good and Saban has evil on his side. Until 9-3 happens, enjoy the ranking.

2. Oregon 40 of their 85 scholarship players will either be arrested, jailed, or dead by season's end. A better ranking would be twenty two. But the Pac 10 is softer than Charlie Weiss' taint dipped in an olive oil salve. A BC tote bag for the first reader to cancel their SN sub that also knows where Charlie Weiss now coaches. Hint: It's a perfect fit.

3. Ohio State Sweatervest finally won a BCS Bowl and Pryor's brain showed signs of eclipsing 4th grade-level synapses, so maybe there is something here. But where are the roided-out LBs? The safeties that freakishly move like corners? Any Big 10 team in the top 5 is insulting. Give me Iowa at 7 (and Texas around 4) and I'm happier than Bevo goring a male Aggie cheerleader.

4. Boise State Is anybody else completely tired of this mid major retard smurf act? Somebody hire Petersen already -- or kidnap him -- anything so this team fades from the national conscience. Beating OU was pretty cool. Beating overrated Oregon and TCU squads, or this year's overrated tripe -- Oregon State and Virginia Tech -- doesn't prove shit. Irrelevance cannot return to Boise soon enough. Maybe get a connecting flight through Fort Worth and pick up some Horned Frogs?

5. Georgia Tech -- I'm still trying to figure out how a wide receiver from a team that threw the ball six times all year got drafted in the first round. There's a reason you didn't know who the hell that guy the Broncos drafted PT (pre-Tebow). I like Paul Johnson. I like the triple option. But #5? Without Derrick Morgan? Would this team beat Texas on a neutral field? With 16 players on each side of the ball starting on our 10 yard line with each possession? Maaaaaybe.

6. Miami Thugs. All of them. f the 1990 Cotton Bowl. 30 for 30 actually stands for 30 years for every 30 convictions.

7. Florida Oh look! Urban Meyer is coaching again. Wait, he retired! Look! He's berating a reporter. Oh, wait! He's felching Tim Tebow. Actually, this is the only accurate pick on this list. Even the dart board is right once in a while. Afletes everawhay man, sheeeit. Hopefully an oil slick wipes out the entire SEC East so we can creep back into the Top 10.

8. TCU No.

9. Nebraska Donkey Kong is off scaling buildings in Detroit and the Huskers have two returning QBs that are forcing the Pelinis to eliminate the wide receiver position altogether. A loss against Iowa State should automatically exclude a team from next season's Top 25. In fact, just sit out a season and make a run in 2011. The Husker fans will understand.

10. Wisconsin WHAT THE FUCK IN CHEESELAND IS GOING ON THAT WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT? Are steroids legal? Has Brett Fav-rah unretired again to lead the Byaddgers back to the pryommised lyand? First Schlabach picking the Ron Daynes in the Top 10 and now these hacks. Over Texas! Unbelievable.

I'm starting to think Texas might not even win a game this year.

Fuck it. Anybody know a good web site that will make me feel better about my team?

Preferably one that charges money?

I like how it required two authors to write that piece of shit.

cough Matt Hayes.

He’s been a D-bag toward Texas before. Kind of TSN’s Merril Hoge. Must be something in the initials.

I’m pretty sure Matt Hayes feasts on human baby flesh. Look at those canines:

So, when does Gilbert post this list on the “workout room message board” to get his team ready to meet at 6:30 am?

I DON’T SEE ANY PROBLEM WITH POUNDING FIVE ESPRESSOS BEFORE BLOGGING.

And I am confident that Deloss Dodds will manifest financial ruin upon Hayes & Carter just by thinking about it.

Those d-bags leaving Texas out of the top 10 doesn’t shock me.

What does shock me is they omitted OU. The bloom truly is off the rose for BGB.

“8. TCU No.”

For some reason, this was by far my favorite comment. Lack of F-bombs notwithstanding.

Kansas City. The EVOO rubbed taint is the new OC for the Chiefs. Where’s my tote please BITCH!?!

Wasn’t the Sporting News just purchased and will now be based in Houston? Perhaps they’ve caught that peculiar media disease where they talk down the local teams to demonstrate just how ‘independent’ they are. Ivan Maisel had a bad case of that when he was with the Dallas Morning News (or was it the DT-H? Whatever, same difference.)

That said, I’ll be shocked if Gilbert plays at any where near the MVP level so many Horns expect. Most likely a 3-loss season.

Still waiting for results from the Barking riding. Voter turnout approached 60%, much higher than expected.

The fact that people get paid to post lists like this makes me wonder about my career choice. Whatever, seasons where general expectations are reduced tend to be more satisfying anyway.

I have no idea where Texas should be ranked, but I’m pretty sure about being well ahead of half the abortions on that list.

Funny stuff, Vash. The TCU commentary is a masterpiece of comic brevity.

“male Aggie cheerleader”

This is redundant and repetitive.

(Good stuff, Vash. “TCU: No.” should be the only thing we ever say when the purple people come crying for validation, as is inevitable.)

Any Top-10 list not headlining USC is not one I wish to acknowledge.

by Triston27 on May 6, 2010 8:12 PM CDT reply actions  

Having Oregon at 2 despite their best player spending his time clinging tightly to bars of soap instead of taking snaps this spring voids the entire list. Texas is at least in the 5 to 7 range, and Matt Hayes has always been a d-bag…

TaylorT,

Forget about that little gem. Thanks for exhuming. Archives are a dipshit journalist’s worst enemy. This us up there with Kirk Bohls touting Bush for Heisman over Young, or giving Bob Stoops a ballcupping on a weekly basis from 2001-2004.

parlin,

Nice work, although it was the old fat finger trade that got things rolling. McDaniels and Tebow also had their first argument and God did not intervene to smooth things over, sending shockwaves through the financial markets.

by Vasherized on May 7, 2010 7:35 AM CDT reply actions  

Funny post but I’m not sure its all that outrageous to suggest UT may not be PRE-SEASON top 10 material. Completely unproven qb who has never started a single game; loss of difference makers on defense; loss of one of the best wr’s the University has seen and no replacement in sight; lack of anything resembling D-1 running game and parasol-waving offensive line. It’s easy to project 2-4 losses which means a 10-25 ranking. Granted, there is no obvious pre-season dominant team [tOSU, seriously? Has Pryor had a brain transplant?] so anything can happen.

by ransomstoddard on May 7, 2010 8:16 AM CDT reply actions  

Only dreamers and idiots would put Texas in the pre-season top 10 this year.

by Bill Bixby on May 7, 2010 9:07 AM CDT reply actions  

Bill,

That is a perfectly well qualified statement. I am sure the finance minister of Greece and the PR Department of British Petroleum have your unconditional support!

And why leave out sex offenders from your list? They LOVE us.

And why leave out sex offenders from your list? They LOVE us.

Some of them are so passionate about the Longhorns that they spend hours each week blogging about Texas athletics.

Teams that we would beat head to head on a Nuetral field 9 times out of 10 by double digits…
Georgia Tech
Miami – WTF are they one this list?
TCU
Nebraska
Wisconsin
Oregon

Teams that we would beat but it’d be close 7 times out of 10
Alabama
Boise State

Teams that we could beat but they could beat us too… I’d put it at about 4-5/10
Ohio State
Florida

So they don’t even have OU ranked in the top 10?
Charile Weiss has a super soft taint now I guess too, and that is great!
