vvvv exception that proves the rule

I'd argue Gilbert Gottfried. Sure, this is the man who tells the best Aristocrats joke, but he was hosed up long before the show. As for George, he's dealt with actual pain in his life. This show is nothing compared to being gay and nonwhite in this country midway in the twentieth century.

I'd change the thesis to 'this show can mess you up if you were predisposed to wanting to be normal.'

This sports stuff is hilarious because I know there are 6 or so of us who also post tons in SAS.
Artie was a great sports fan...in 1988. It was easy to keep up with things. All you had was the paper and rare access to ESPN.
Now, someone like Artie is totally lost and usually a few days behind.

I dont doubt he was a good athlete back in the day, but his body has taken years of abuse and cant catch up to his brain.
Remember Artie vs the College basketball girl? Artie was drunk, hadnt been to bed and only lost by a point or something.
Beer League is what it is, and I know they edited the hell out of it, but Artie actually looked natural hitting and fielding.

Gary actually infuriates me as a sports fan because he reads one blog or article and he is an immediate expert. He usually gets his facts wrong. Oh and he is a Mets fan. gently caress those guys.

I know I'm on a posting spree today, but I want to comment on this as well. I actually had a notion to try and call in this morning but I didn't think I'd get through. If you take away the dumb celebrity interviews (and that bullshit "feud" he has with Howard, which is clearly a joke on Piers' part), Piers is doing really well, I think. I think the Egypt protests might have been the best thing that could have happened to him. The celebrity interviews are death and he's horrible at them, but when he was interviewing actual news makers about actual news, he was great. Very erudite, knowledgeable, and he would add just enough opinion to make it interesting and not be over the top. So I hope they let him continue to do a newsy-type show and give him time to find his audience. CNN will definitely lose some viewers, but they would have anyway, since he's not going to have a Howard Stern or an Oprah Winfrey on every night.

okay that's it i'm done now

Howard and Robin a) didnt know that people tailgated at sporting events until recently, and b) dont understand why people do it. How is Artie worse than that?
Tailgating is the only reason I go to college football games.

This was the first time I have listened in 2 years but today's show was great. Piers Morgan is insufferable, that one caller made me google Jeremy Clarkson Piers Morgan and Clarkson is even more the man in my book now. He dropped Piers in a fight once and tried to fight him again on a airplane flight

/Robin: I was just going to say that.
I remember listening to that and was going to bring that up. Yeah, Artie did pretty goddam good, I think he was in better shape in those days, like not 300 pounds and falling asleep in the studio. It was before the Sirius days. I think that people who are reasonably athletic never lose that as long as they stay in somewhat good shape. Sure reflexes get a bit slower and all that, but Artie *says* he was a good athlete back i the day, and if he really was drunk, and hadn't been to bed etc. then I'd have to say that he was pretty goddam good for losing by only 1 point to a college basketball player. Girl or not, I'd bet she was in great shape, and had way more competetive experience than him. That says something there about him. The problem is, most people only remember fat, heroin addicted, falling asleep Artie.

Sal is the worst type of person when it comes to sports; the guy who never watches them or has a favorite team, yet always talks tons of poo poo whenever somebody else's team loses. The guy who never makes any kind of prediction about the outcome of any event but loves to gloat whenever somebody else loses a bet, as if he had picked the game correctly. I realize that Sal busts balls for a living, but there's really a person like this at every workplace.

People think that being a fan of a sport is a skill and that having ESPN has made them better at it then others.

I love the TVIV thread about The SportsDome. The sports fan is laughing at the ESPN parody while the non-sports fan is laughing at the sports fan who watches ESPN.

Sure is a big surprise that a guy with a SPORTS avatar would have this opinion!

Sal owns, his tweets yesterday during the superbowl were hilarious and if you really give a poo poo about sports so much that you get offended that some guy who doesn't care makes fun of you when your team loses, welp, I don't know what to say.

I didn't say anything about Sal offending me. I like his tweets- my team didn't lose anyway. I said that type of person is worse when it comes to talking about sports than the Howard/Robin type who think that A-Rod is the most significant person in baseball because he's on TMZ the most.

BTW it started when he randomly called and goes "How much would you pay to meet ETM, get a photo with him, and an autographed picture of the photo with him" and I answered 200 bucks before I would have to think about it. I love that guy

Honestly, I've listened to this call probably 100 times in my life and I swear to god I laugh out loud probably 20 times still, I mean this is the pinnacle of radio. I can't even decide my favorite part

Like the stuff they play coming out of breaks? I'd say if you cut that out the show is like 2 and a half to 3 hours of content really. If you add up all the breaks, live reads, and filler they play it would easily add up to an hour. Maybe more.

With the bits and music in and out of the commercials, the commercials vary from 10 - 15 minutes, easy. He's also been crazy about taking the breaks early on. The 7 and 7:30 are so regimented that today he cut himself off sentence at 7 to go to break.

I'm not listening as much later on, so I don't know if it is like that all day.

Sirius/XM is making the calls on people who haven't paid - a friend of mine just got a call from XM saying that he owes them over $300 for payments on a radio he hasn't owned in three years. He told them he wouldn't pay the $300 as he didn't own the stereo any more, but he'd gladly re-up his yearly subscription for the XM radio he DID have installed in his car.

Two hours later his current XM radio got disconnected.

Don't laugh, he does a HUGE business with the "give women gifts" holidays, and always has. VT Teddy Bear was one of his most important sponsors on testical radio, and it's one of the business that credits Stern with helping them succeed.
