Watch the video on the right.

 

The part where he talked about doing his part to help these people get through another day of Americana was awesome.

 

"I was basically lifting everybody's spirits".............

lol

 

Loved the video...

(When talking about the controls on the machine...)

Farmer: "We only use those when we have to hook up machines to it. Like if we have to dig a grave."

Simers: "Oh, well, that might come in handy later then."

 

Didn't Paris Hilton already do this?

 

Hilarious, even more funny when you realize that an entire state is fuming over his antics.

 

I don't understand people who don't get his bit.

You read the column archive, look at 2 pieces, and you've GOT to get that it's an act.

 

Vintage T.J.

If you ever get a chance to hear him talk about lazy sportswriters, it's the equivalent of 15 of his best columns. He came to Chicago for an APSE regional meeting a few years and told about 2 hours worth of stories pertaining to how he goes about the craft of reporting. This was before he was a columnist.

Basically, he doesn't take no for an answer and out-works all of his competition. Had the sports editors in stitches with some of his tales. He's a great motivational speaker.

He got the last laugh on the SEs too. Flew first class from LA to Chicago and hit them up for a $1,200 plane fare.

 

TJ's act is a schtick, but he's also a schmuck.

I have never heard somebody say TJ doesn't work hard. But you can also get hard work from a jackass.

 

Tell us here, Brett. I'd like to know all about what he said.

I love Simers' stuff. Some don't, but I do.
