I Hope Rhett Bomar Has a Long NFL Career
For Longhorn fan he's the gift that keeps on giving. And if you're a crimson and cream flunky, Rhett's the scarlet letter serving as a constant reminder of OU's history of illegal inducements, transgressions, and general asshattery that is the hallmark of Sooner nation. If the New York football...
Paper Tigers - Part I
As a big fan of non-fiction writing across all genres, from John McPhee's takes on feats of civil engineering to Paul Theroux's travelogues, a good biography on a notable historical figure is hard to beat. A recent article in the New Yorker reviewed new biographies of four titans of 20th century...
Scott Drew Finds His Inner (Dave) Bliss
Hands up if you use Jesus smokescreens to mask moral bankruptcy The school that gave us the slimiest basketball coach in the history of the NCAA, Dave Bliss, offers up their latest protozoan in the form of Scott Drew. Let's be clear though: Scott Drew is merely a run-of-the-mill televangelist...
The New York Times, Thayer Evans and CYA
Faithful readers of and irritated visitors to this site are quite familiar with the New York Times - Thayer Evans - Jamarkus McFarland Family ménage à trois of hilarity. For a recap of the situation, please brush-up here. Today I came across this offering from the Grey Lady - Internets division. ...
Jamarku$ McFiction Continues To Give In This Holiday Season
Sadly, the the only part of the story of which I was legitimately proud - the Caligulan bisexual drug-raging alcohol-fueled Longhorn orgy - has been completely discredited by Chip Brown's excellent work at Orangebloods. Chip Brown did first-rate work at DMN and it's good to see his journalistic...
Mack Brown on Thayer Evans and his sources: Those guys are fags.
I'm paraphrasing a bit but he did have some comments: "One-sided stories usually don't make it when sources aren't checked on the other side," Brown said. "The story has absolutely no credibility with me because the writer did the same thing exactly last year and it's obvious he has an agenda, in...
Jamarku$ McFarland already backtracking on New York Times story
A tip of the cap to poster 98 for the heads up. Outstandingly predictable snippets about Thayer's Fantasy Island article on the McFarland recruitment. Girls Romancing each other at a Texas Football party? The Times article included inflammatory statements McFarland had written about the...
Why is the New York Times losing so much money?
Oh. Apparently it’s now enough to interview just two people for an article. Is it possible that those two are biased? Perish the thought! So let’s take a look at the biggest bullshit claims. -McFarland was a guest of OU at the game in Dallas this year. Yet somehow after the game McFarland ends up...
L'Affaire McFarland and The Media
I don't write at length here very often as I'm not much of a writer, which I will now go to great lengths to demonstrate. This paucity of creative talent on my part is why we pay the big talent guys like Trips Right and Scipio Tex in beaucoups wampum. Chooky gets paid in blotter acid, CTJ in...
New York Times Texas Hit Piece Regarding McFarland
In case you missed it, the NYT wrote a comical hit piece about the goings on in the Jamarkus McFarland recruitment. Among the more asinine things written, were descriptions of Texas offering drug parties and interest free loans to JM in an effort to pry him away from the "little engine that...
