Schadenfreude was invented for Bobby Petrino

The duplicitous jackass was fired tonight, against the wishes of redneck Razorback fans. Jeff Schultz has the gory details.

 Over 21,000 Arkansas fans have joined a “Team Save Bobby Petrino” Facebook page. Some-200 fans showed up for a public protest to save the job of a man who for the better part of his career has proved to be a liar, a coward and morally bankrupt — all of which might matter if he went 7-6 instead of 11-2 last season.

One carried a sign that read, “What’s wrong with scoring in the offseason?”

Another one read, “Define Innappropriate” (sic).

Another read: “Blond Hair. Don’t care. #FreeBobby” – and that one was held up by a woman.

And that pretty much explains why I’m not a fan of college football.

Theme song to one of worst movies ever made rewritten to salute overhyped QB

Yes, it’s come to this: John Parr has re-recorded “St. Elmo’s Fire” as “Tim Tebow’s Fire.”

When I say “St. Elmo’s Fire” is one of the worst movies ever made I mean it. For me it ranks second to “Very Bad Things” — a close second. Let’s recap:

• Mare Winningham in a girdle
• Rob Lowe playing the sax
• Andrew McCarthy pondering the meaning of life, repeatedly
• Emilio Estevez stalking Andie MacDowell
• Demi Moore attempting suicide by opening all the windows in her apartment on a cold day
• Judd Nelson
• Directed by Joel Schumacher, the hack responsible for “Batman and Robin” 

It’s not Tim Tebow’s fault I’m sick of Tim Tebow

I have no problem with the Denver quarterback, who seems genuine in his beliefs.

His cult-like fans, on the other hand …

At best, Paterno guilty of crass insensitivity

Scott [Paterno] said that his father was disappointed and was prepared to take questions about the scandal as well as Penn State’s upcoming Big Ten game against Nebraska.

With the cloud hanging over Penn State I think football should be the last thing on Joe Paterno’s mind.

Detroit fans say no to Nickelback

I’m impressed.

“Detroit is home to so many great musicians and they chose Nickelback?!?!?! Does anyone even like Nickelback?,” asks Lions fan Dennis Guttman. “Is this some sort of ploy to get people to leave their seats during halftime to spend money on alcoholic beverages and concessions? This is completely unfair to those of us who purchased tickets to the game.” A few days ago, Guttman launched an online crusade against Nickelback’s proposed halftime appearance. As of this writing almost 37,000 people have signed it, thereby becoming official Occupy Halftime protesters.

Another tea partier ignorant of the Constitution

Bocephus, fired as the Monday Night Football balladeer after comparing Obama to Hilter, plays the martyr.

“After reading hundreds of e-mails, I have made MY decision,” he wrote. “By pulling my opening Oct 3rd, You (ESPN) stepped on the Toes of *The First Amendment Freedom of Speech, so therefore Me, My Song, and All My Rowdy Friends are OUT OF HERE. It’s been a great run.”

*Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Last I checked, ESPN didn’t pass a law prohibiting the playing of Hank’s song.
