They cut off my internet stream and are billing me for it, even though I had 3 months free internet from December, and paid out for the rest of the year after that.

Also the Letterman appearance. The show was better because they had some stuff to talk about for a change. The clip with Regis talking about Howard was pretty funny, too.

Wasn't Artie a huge loving psycho about the Yankees? Constantly bagging on every other team/person on staff about how many rings the Yankees have and constantly referring to the Yankees as "we" like the fat rear end loser somehow contributed? I'd say that Artie was the biggest sports psycho on staff. Also, didn't Artie suck at sports? I know he talked a huge game, but the guy was a huge whale of a man and there is a youtube clip of him out there making a jerk of himself playing softball or something. It doesn't matter if you played sports when you were 12 and were really good at them, if you weigh 300+ pounds (of fat, not muscle) you shouldn't be acting like you are an amazing athlete.

Did you see that dude last page that quoted me and said Yankee fans are the worst? Well Artie epitomizes the terrible Yankee fan stereotype. Also despite watching baseball for his entire life, and holding season tickets, he doesn't know the game that well.

He is the worst kind of smug fan. Is he from Pittsburgh? Did he attend school there? Does he have any kind of connection? It always really bothers me when someone randomly becomes a fan of a team like that. Nothing would please me more than to know he is one of those fans.

Steelers fans are the worst, and Hein is little better than most, but I do give him a pass because he seems to be a legitimate fan of the city's sports teams in that he is a Pirates fan, also. The Pirates are terrible, and arguably are one of the worst franchises in baseball. Being a devoted fan of that team at least shows you aren't a bandwagon fan. The severe majority -- and it's probably over 90% -- of Steelers fans are simply bandwagon fans. They can't name more than a half dozen players. They couldn't care less about the Pirates, because the Pirates aren't popular. They're caught up in this mystique about the franchise and its history but they know nothing about the teams of the past. But none of this stops them from waving those Terrible Towels!

Not to mention he's only a GIANTS fan when they win the Super Bowl and the rest of the time he can't correctly identify their long term major players. He really was a case of knowing .02 more about sports than Howard so therefore being attributed as the Manly Sports Guy on the show.

And most of them are from places other than Pittsburgh and are such big Steelers fans they secretly own a Bengals jersey from that one time 7 years ago when they drafted Carson Palmer and they seemed like they might be good at some point.

Living the dream
All these people arguing over who's a "true" fan or not are the most retarded fans ever. I like who I like - it shouldn't matter if I grew up there.

Think about how loving arbitrary that is - you pick the team that happened to be closest to you geographically and somehow, that team is superior to other teams in your head. Who gives a poo poo if I like or don't like a team because I grew up liking them? It's all about personal connection poo poo.

I have a soft spot in my heart for the Colorado Rockies because of my dad. He's always been a huge baseball fan, and we lived in Colorado when they started the team in the early 90s. We went opening weekend, and every year we lived there we'd go to a few games and sit in the cheap seats. I'm not a fan, really, according to your definition, but I'd root for them over a team I have no connection to at all.

I hate the Cowboys because I think it's egotistical to call yourself "America's Team" and Jerry Jones is the NFL's equivalent of George Steinbrenner. That's it. Nothing against most of the players (Michael Irvin excepted) or any of the coaches.

Sports fans can be sports fans however they want - you don't need a photographic memory of who played 2nd base for the Tigers in 1979 to call yourself a baseball fan, just like you don't need to know the names of every actor in a movie to enjoy it.

Let people enjoy poo poo whether or not they have as deep a "dedication" to it as you do.

This is admittedly hypocritical of me because I can't stand listening to technology discussions on the show because nobody knows anything and they all claim to be some kind of expert.

To be fair, Palmer was good until the Steelers put a dirty hit on him and destroyed his career.

Yeah, that's kind of the point I was making though. You actually have a connection to a team, which is why you (and most people) are fans of those teams.

But none of the current Steelers fans I know personally (and Facebook lets you identify these affiliations more easily than in ye olde days when you had to actually drop some cash on a jersey) were Steelers fans when I knew them 20 years ago, and none of them have any reason to be Steelers fans except for Super Bowl Success.

He also was saddled with Marv Lewis (Our motto: "Yes he might be 60-67-1 on his career but thanks to those pics he has of the owner with a goat, unfireable") which pretty much ruined any chance of success too.

Anyone think that Howard is going to break down and fill the Artie chair?

He claims he doesn't need anyone in there but will Howard do it to take some of the comedic load off of himself OR is he too lazy to bother?

LOVE that Howard called out the people who have their assistants make calls for them. It's such a power bullshit move. I work at a talent agency, and they all do it. No one can make their own calls. I'm not talking about when they're in the car or out of the office; this is literally when they're sitting in their office and they want to talk to someone they have the assistant call and then they put the callee on hold while the agent picks up the phone. "Hold for so-and-so please."

Actually, I would have bet that Howard would be one of those types, but I'm glad to hear he's not. The thing is, everyone knows that's it's bullshit and lame. It impresses no one, and annoys pretty much everyone. So I don't know why it continues.

Didn't mean to single you out or anything, so sorry if it came off that way. I just wanted to vent that cause it always pissed me off when Artie would challenge someone to basketball/running/anything active at all, only to have everyone on staff chime in in support of great superstar Artie. I'm pretty sure any normal person could beat the hell out of Artie, in any sport, without breaking a sweat.

No, I agree, Artie used to act like he was captain of the football team and it was absurd. He is also a terrible sports fan; for me it was worse listening to him talk about the Yankees than it is listening to Howard or Robin talk about sports.
