Buzz Bissinger Proves What An Assclown He Is

And KSK has the video of him going after Will at Deadspin, and some analysis on top of that.

Look. I loved “Three Nights In August”. Buzz is a great writer; however, his pompous condescension of bloggers is disgraceful and unbecoming a man who wants you to know is well-read. Throw in the fact he couldn’t even correctly pull off the oldest trick going when attempting to discredit bloggers, trolling the comments for that one Golden Nugget, (it’s Big Daddy Drew, not Big Daddy Balls), and you see a man who has no clue what he is talking about, except for what is muttered at the latest cocktail party in The Hamptons.

And Will has the best analysis of the whole incident.

Sure: We would have loved to have made all the points about blogs that we’ve made countless times before, trot them all out again, in front of a national audience. Had we that opportunity, we surely would have taken advantage of it. But we felt, in a way, the point was made for us. Watching this talented man spin himself into a typhoon of imploding bluster showed the fear, showed the anger, showed the futility of it all. We sat back and watched, and hoped nobody got hurt, just liked you. Honestly: We really hope he’s OK. A fight would have done no one any good, least of all him.

We have to take a flight to Los Angeles on Wednesday morning and, as luck would have it, be gone all day today. (Daulerio will be taking over the site until Thursday. We hope he ignores Costas’ bizarre misconception and doesn’t just post grotesque comments all day, because, you know, that’s what bloggers do.) We’ll be back Thursday, doing what we do, trying to bring you a little distraction for another workaday. We are not mad at Bissinger, or Costas. We just watched a man immolate on national television. To have piled on the carnage would have been discourteous. The future is obvious to anyone even slightly interested in looking. We just stand aside, as he, as they, watch the light shrink, then fade, then vanish.

If You Thought Your Fishing Trip Was Eventful

These guys have you beat.

The force of the crash broke off the plane’s nose gear and crumpled the plane’s fuselage. And while no one was hurt from the crash, one passenger aboard the plane did receive a number of crab pinches.

“When this happened, Craig was sitting in back and he said the cooler just went. Crabs went all over him just biting him left and right,” said Georgette McGuire, the girlfriend of one of the men aboard the plane. “He said it was driving him crazy. He’s got a bunch of crab bites on him.”

If You Want To Know Where A Restaurant Stores Its Bread

You really don’t want to know.

Checker’s goes through a lot of hamburger buns at its drive-thru restaurants. It’s hard to even think about what might happen to those buns in a tiny, smelly and dirty bathroom. One customer told Eyewitness News he didn’t like the manager’s reaction to his complaint about the bread box-bathroom stall combination.

“‘You got the bread in the men’s restroom.’ She got angry with me. She got T’d off and she locked the door,” Jones said.

Health officials didn’t settle for that solution, forcing the store to throw away all of it. Unfortunately, they don’t know how long the Sanford Checkers kept both bread and cups in a bathroom that was quickly cleaned as Eyewitness News arrived Tuesday. An employee denied the bathroom-food storage system.

“Were you guys storing bread in there?” WFTV reporter Steve Barrett asked.

“No sir,” the employee replied.

That employee and the bread delivery man seemed perplexed about where the bread should go Tuesday as an Eyewitness News crew looked on. They finally took it inside the kitchen.

If You Want To See 50,000 of BBQ Ribs Go Up In Flames

Go to the Chicago Area.

The semi-trailer truck was headed east on I-80 about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday and was exiting onto southbound Interstate Highway 294 when a fire started in the braking system, igniting a blaze that consumed the entire trailer, said Master Sgt. David Bird of the Illinois State Police. The driver escaped without injury.

The trailer was loaded with about 50,000 pounds of beef ribs, Bird said. He could not say what cut of ribs they were, but added, “There was no sauce.”

If You Are A Sex Addict

This lady can relate to you.

“Every time a relationship ended, it felt as though my life had disappeared,” recalls Clare, 46, a radio and TV broadcaster. “But it was much more than just the proverbial broken heart.

“Some of the relationships had lasted barely a few dates, but I’d find myself unable to work or sleep. I’d obsess over the finer details in my head and would end up entertaining suicidal thoughts. I wouldn’t be able to function.

“My rock bottom with love addiction came about three years ago, after a relationship with Sam, a married man I’d met over the internet, had ended.

I found myself lying on the kitchen floor in the foetal position with a bottle of painkillers at my side.

“My nose was running, my face was streaked with tears. My life seemed so lonely and small. It was then that I crawled to the phone and rang a rehab clinic in London.”

That such a condition as love addiction exists may sound extraordinary, yet it’s listed as a treatable addiction by the kind of famous rehabilitation clinics most commonly associated with drugs and alcoholism.

If You Try To Cash A $360 Billion Check

Don’t be surprised if you get in trouble.

Employees at the Chase Bank at 8601 S. Hulen St. grew suspicious after seeing all those zeroes (10 to be exact) and called the check’s owner. The woman said the suspect, Charles Ray Fuller, 21, of Crowley, is her daughter’s boyfriend and that he did not have permission to take the check or cash it.

Fuller was arrested on suspicion of fraud, along with unlawfully carrying a weapon and possession of marijuana after officers found less than 2 ounces of the drug and a .25-caliber handgun and magazine in his pockets.

While inside a patrol car, police say Fuller blurted out that he is starting his own record label and had been given the money by his girlfriend’s mother to help him start it.

Apparently breaking into the music business does not come cheap.
