Classy question?

  1. I vote for jackass, too.

    But I think the guy in I'll Never Tell's example who asked, "So you're saying God was against Team B" was spot on.

    There's a fine line, but I think it's easy to tell when you crossed it.

    I figured it was him.

    EDIT: he made it a note: http://www.kansascity.com/sports/story/513301.html

    Now that I've read it in Note form... it still seems tacky, unimportant and extraneous. He seems like a pretty good writer, and the question still doesn't make much sense to me.

    He is a very good writer, one of my favorites, but he certainly has the tendency to be the smirking asshat in the room sometimes.

    He once prefaced a question to Quin Snyder with "Quin, I was talking to Helen, and she said ..."
    Quin: "Mike, what are you doing talking to my wife?"
    Mike: Cackles uncontrollably

    That's just the way he is. Jaded and sarcastic all the way, I guess.
    What it's like to be Quin Snyder's wife probably is for a different thread.

    Absolutely. But I wouldn't hit Paige Laurie.

    That's pretty damn funny and puts this in a different perspective.

    On that note, local hockey game between Catholic and public school.
    Public school students start chanting "You let priests touch you."

    I have, over the years, seen many a headline on the variation of "Lions maul Christians" ...

    On the subject of school chants: A chant offered by all schools in Topeka, Kan., when they play Seaman High School:

    "What do you get when you beat your meat? Seaman! Seaman!"

    And yes, this is offered by someone who went to one of those said schools.

    After I saw it was a Mizzou beat guy my guess was that it was DeArmond. He is a good guy, but he can have an interesting interview style.
     
  11. Yep, and after reading it in his note section, it doesn't seem bad at all. It actually made the question seem pertinent - contrary to what I posted before I saw the notes section.
