Welp, I just tried some different variations of the Omar Kelly username and one of them is an account that has one tweet and it's a pic of a dude kissing another dude's penis.

But yeah, I'd like to be involved in a new Fake Omar Kelly.

Because verbally berating the person who has the sole power of giving you your vehicle back is a fabulous idea.

Britt McHenry acted incredibly inappropriately and should be fired. ESPN can find another pretty sports lady. And if there is such a thing as karma, I hope she gains 200 lbs and loses half her teeth.

That's all true, doesn't mean she should be fired for it. In general I think its safe to assume that most people in the media think they are far more important than they are so I don't think she is some outlier.

I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, and I rarely think that anyone associated with a profession is one way or the other. I realize there are plenty of cops that are cool and some that are bad. Loads of lawyers are dicks, but some are really nice. But gently caress everyone associated with the towing industry unequivocally. If you don't unleash a barrage of profanity every second you are dealing with them then you are a giant pussy/bad person.

Hahaha some stupid baby at ESPN is mad that Tebow didn't give them an inside scoop on being signed by the Eagles.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/04/20/espn-reporter-complains-that-tebow-didnt-hand-scoop-to-espn/

quote:

On Sunday, Jay Glazer of FOX Sports reported that Tim Tebow had agreed to terms with the Eagles. Tim Tebow separately is employed by ESPN. Which makes the fact that Glazer scooped ESPN regarding an ESPN employee even more noteworthy.

And that has been noticed by other ESPN employees. John Barr of ESPN griped on Twitter about Tebow’s failure to hand the scoop to his other employer.

“What gets me is how people take $$$ from the WWL then let OTHERS break news of their career changes,” Barr said on Twitter. “Lookin at u Tebow & Parcells.” (Though an unverified account, ESPN has confirmed that it belongs to Barr.)

On one hand, it would make sense for someone who gets paid by ESPN to hand the news of a career development to ESPN. On the other hand, it’s not required. It also assumes that, in this specific case, Tebow consciously chose to give the news to Glazer and not to Adam Schefter. It’s entirely possible that Glazer got the information independent of Tebow.

With or without knowing whether Tebow was Glazer’s source, it’s not the best look for an ESPN reporter to publicly complain about it. Especially on the same day Schefter explained that, if given commissioner powers over the sports media for a day, he’d have members of the media stop speculating about the sources for reports.

I'm not saying she had to bake the woman cookies or anything, but there is such a thing as channeling your rage.

You want to be pissed off at the person who made the decision to tow your car (assuming you were legally parked, otherwise gently caress you), be my guest. But berating the person behind the counter who had nothing to do with it is about 16 different types of not cool.

If it turns out the woman behind the counter started it or escalated the situation, then I retract. But I'll wait for proof of that first.

Their torso, still twitching and screaming, should be mounted on pikes in the end zone of FedEx Field. Every time Snyder bilks money from a child our torturers set upon our bodies with cattle prods while we struggle to complete a rendition of 'Hail to the Redskins'. Only when Cousins leads worshington to a championship will we finally be free.

Here's some Hot Takes from a Buffalo blog about how Britt McHenry hates Blue Collar Working Class Folks Like Us.

http://www.buffalobruises.com/blog/2015/04/19/espns-britt-mchenry-strikes-a-nerve-with-the-blue-collar-buffalonians-over-towing-tirade/

quote:

So, I have been following this whole ESPN brat gets her car towed saga and yes, I have a few thoughts. I don’t know about you but watching the lovely, talented and (as she let me know) college educated Britt McHenry get her car out of the clink, I was brought right back to the 11th grade. And yes, in high school I hated girls just like Ms. McHenry. I am sure she was quite the party for somebody like me. Turning up her nose, snickering in my face as her and her equally tight assed friends pranced through the hallways of their high school.


Well, Britt you might have been special back in high school but me and the rest of the tax-paying public think you are nothing but a self-entitled little brat, as you bludgeon some poor women trying to carve out a living in the tow truck lot. Good for you, God blessed you with a nice figure and white teeth. You’re right… that gave you a leg up, but it doesn’t make you better. As the video surveillance camera showed us all, you are much…much worse than the vast majority of us out here blessed with back fat, bad teeth and hair in all the wrong places.

And hey ESPN if you’re really interested in punishing the lovely and talented Britt McHenry, then screw you and that one week time out you put her in. How about this? Have the beautiful, photogenic, talented, educated, superior Ms. McHenry do her special job on television from the sidelines in Buffalo, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Cleveland…you know where Britt thinks all the ugly, crooked teeth people live and work. Don’t suspend her, make her stand on those sidelines week after week after week so we all can tell her in our very unique, crooked teeth, uneducated way just what we think of her.

I have a few women in my life who would be able to string together a couple sentences standing at the tunnel of “the Ralph” that would let Britt know exactly where she can stick her self entitled silver spoon. And some of them are as equally attractive as you Britt. The difference is they are also decent, hardworking blue-collar people who would never treat the waitress, maid, and yes… even the tow truck attendant as being anything less than them. That’s the difference between us and you…

You want to really punish Ms. McHenry? Let her make her living on television from the sideline at Ralph Wilson stadium.

We’ll be nice…I promise.

(The Buffalo Blue Collar RAH attitude is really getting on my nerves lately.)

No, Joe turn left! NOOOOOOOOOO

http://sportsworld.nbcsports.com/joe-paterno-family-fight-after-penn-state-scandal/

quote:

This is a story of how Joe Paterno’s family wins back his legacy, inch by inch by inch. You will no doubt have strong feelings on the matter; it’s likely that no sports story of the last decade has sparked more emotions. Some have decided that Joe Paterno knew about Jerry Sandusky’s crimes because he had to know, because he knew all that happened at Penn State. Some have determined he turned away from his duty to protect children, and that his much-celebrated life as a coach, teacher and humanitarian was either ruined by his inaction or a lie in the first place. Many will not revisit the story no matter what new evidence emerges; it is filed under “old news.”


He never says another word about "new evidence"

It really hurts my heart because for a minute there, Posnanski had his fastball back from the pre-Paterno days. Then this thing comes out of nowhere. Maybe he's just worried what's going to happen with Pacino playing Paterno.
