| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00  | Can someone put this retard out of his misery. Lookalikes: Saturday night’s Mardi gras riot in Seattle and an XFL crowd. * AS the XFL sets slowly into the dumpster, there was Jesse Ventura, the governor of Minnesota, chasing down Hitmen coach Rusty Tillman with an open microphone, Saturday night. In the cold and rainy slop in Chicago. With the stands nearly empty. On national TV. And Tillman gave the Gov. of Minnesota, who was trying to force a pro wrestling-like bad-blood feud, the cool breeze. Tillman apparently didn’t understand that these are desperate times for the XFL. At that point, he was supposed to hit the Governor of Minnesota over the head with a chair. Then rip the raincoat off one of the cheerleaders while screaming that she’s a ho. That’s the Vince McMahon formula. But the XFL got stuck halfway between the football and the formula. And there was NBC, Saturday night, proudly capturing the XFL’s young punk, target-demographic fans. They acted as ugly as they possibly could for McMahon, waving their beers at NBC’s cameras. Even in the fourth quarter. In the cold and rainy slop. In a few minutes, these young men, disciples of McMahon’s WWF genius from the time they were old enough to grab their crotches and holler, Suck it! would be back on the rainy road. Then they’d be our problem. And there were FM radio naughty boys, Opie and Anthony, winding up their raunchy, beer-waving, bump-and-grind XFL pregame show. Ch. 4 has killed it, although it should never live it down. Opie and Anthony are so bold, so brazen, so hip, so anti-establishment. But they weren’t so hip as to turn down an opportunity to serve as TV shills for McMahon. They got used, and they were eager for the privilege. And they came across as uncomfortable, unfunny and inconsequential. And now they’re stuck with it. Watch how, in a few months, everyone from the legitimate TV world who played a role in NBC’s XFL will make no mention of the XFL in their bios and resumes. Folks who try to go legit after selling out to McMahon become practiced in the art of trying to forget. Watch how Dick Ebersol and the rest of NBC’s executive branch now begin trying to spin the XFL a what-did-we-have-to-lose? experiment. They’ll try to minimize or ignore the fact that they turned their sports division over to Vince McMahon while banging his XFL drums for all they were worth. Watch how people now begin the process of trying to rid themselves of McMahon’s stench. Just watch. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Dec. 00 | quote: Mushhead is such a moron. Every chance the F-tard gets to grab some tube time he jumps at it. Hell once at a Knick playoff game I saw him pose for a 13 year old kid and his camcorder. So O/A took an oppertunity to get some TV experience and exposure. Silly fucking them.
