Joxygen is that rare air that sports writers breathe when in the locker rooms of their idols. It is a debilitating tocsin that renders them incapable of coherent thought or action. It makes them say strange and ludicrous things. Homoerotic things, for the most part.
Other fields of endeavor, the worlds of letters or cinema or theater, for example, have critics. Likewise incapable people, to be sure, but at least people who endeavor to deconstruct and inform us via their knowledge. The world of sports does not have critics. Only enthusiasts. They seldom explain why Team A sucks. They want to tell you why Team B rawks! Or, more tellingly, why player C is the shits of their dreams.
To watch a Bob Costas, or a Keith Olbermann in his ESPN days, is to see an unabashed jock sniffer so oblivious to his own primal absorption with feral, muscular men as to be an abject fucking retard.
I am utterly convinced that Bob Costas would rather have Zeke Mowatt sit on his face than Kate Upton. The only Sports Illustrated edition sports writers never devour cover to cover is the swimsuit issue. I find it a truly strange profession, insofar as these sports writers are never called out for their flagrant and erotic love of sweating, corpustulent men.
Having said that, I live in Athens, the Belly of the SEC Beast, and Georgia just beat Buffalo like a rented mule. And that is a good thing. I just don't need to be in the team showers around the players' freshly-scrubbed schlongs to appreciate it. Keith.
For my experience, is there anything so strange and sad as the Corporate Man-crush on the young ingenue guy fresh from his 5-year, full-scholarship stint as a linebacker for some egghead school team?
Like a young Adonis, the new guy is feted and fawned over and butt-slapped and liquored-up by the old lions. They look hungrily at their god-like youth now newborn before their eyes, and think their pudgy little thoughts of Al Bundy football glory, with all the wild pussy nights and the beer and brawn and the bragging. They hang on every little story they can wheedle out him, and trot him out for their competitors and friends in a bid to win their envy and admiration by proxy.
A debilitating "tocsin"? An alarm? (Look up the spelling, dumbass.) How can an alarm be debilitating? And "corpustulent" isn't even a word in the Urban Dictionary, much less the regular ones! As for your opinions, why should anyone believe a homophobe douchebag like you who goes around accusing other guys of being gay and then thinks "Boy, I insulted him good there"?
Try learning something before you rip apart someone like Keith Olbermann, who's a million times the person you could ever hope to be.
Posted by: Morning Kvetch at September 1, 2012 6:31 PMWell, Vman. You hit where you were aiming.
Plus, you made the idiot look up a word he's never heard or seen before.
It happened because it's a word familiar to Vman, Morning Retch. I'm sure you've done something similar with your own more pedestrian posts about bear-backing and bare-naked encounters with homophones. NTTAWWT.
If just any old Joe Blogger wished to truly misspell "toxin" I doubt they'd happen upon the Latin Vulgate root obscurity of "tocsin" by sheer accident.
Posted by: Joan of Argghh! at September 1, 2012 8:21 PMThank you, Joan. You know, I'm doing the hard work here, reinventing the English language. All anyone else has to do is learn it.
Posted by: Velociman at September 1, 2012 9:38 PMBTW, "corpustulent" is such a descriptive mash-up that I think I shall steal it. Brilliant, that.
Posted by: Joan of Argghh! at September 2, 2012 7:38 AMI have $5 that says he tried looking up joxygen, too.
Posted by: arcs at September 2, 2012 8:27 AM" A MILLION TIMES the person you could ever hope to be**
Oh, that's butt-hurt, right there. Who loves Keith so much to defend him so expensively?
Plus, we're all pretty sure you don't hope to be any sort of person at all. :p
Posted by: Joan of Argghh! at September 2, 2012 8:47 AMOf course Georgia has no business playing Buffalo, but then you already knew that.
In the future, I wish them an Appalachian State moment.

Posted by: jean arthur at September 2, 2012 6:37 PMSo how did we get from sports writers to television hosts and commentators? You couldn't even name a single sports writer. And you are somehow unaware that there are many sports columnists who make a living tearing down players, coaches, managers and owners. As to the writers that actually go into the locker room to cover the team, it's not their job be negative - by definition they report what happened during the game and what the players and management say. If the criticize, they lose access.
Other than that, you hit the nail on the head.
Posted by: MarkB at September 2, 2012 6:41 PMJoan, can't you tell when V is salting the oats?
As for the dipshitz of the media. They're dumber than dog dirt. (I learnt that in Jorjaa.) And the dumbest strata of the media are the sports writers. That's why they have really stupid preseason polls where they opine and prognosticate, and are proven wrong season after season. Like the faggots they were in high school when they first started to not play sports, they continue to live in lust of the talents of better men.
As for boozing and reliving one's yout, WTF is wrong with that Joan? Let the boys enjoy life a little. We all live vicariously through our spawn.
Posted by: Casca at September 3, 2012 2:27 AMI read all your articles! Thanks for all the interesting information.
Keith O must be related to someone of importance to keep getting the jobs he does....the man is a no talent ass clown who thinks that being overly a libtard gives him some sort of accumen beyond the regular jocksniffers at espn and the like. Rest assured he will be forced on the general public with the likes of Rosie O'Fat, Ellen Degenerate, Opras Winfreys and Slappy Obammy as most sheeple who watch this drival have never read
even a simple story like "The Emperor's New Clothes".
I'm confident Joan sized up that post quite accurately.
Posted by: Velociman at September 3, 2012 7:29 PMHey, I rented that mule. Pay up!
Posted by: Cappy at September 3, 2012 10:12 PMNeither Queef Olberman nor Kvetch could carry Vman's water if they used their own skins peeled from their rotting, stinking corpses.
but peeling the skin from their rotting stinking corpses does sound kind of fun.

Posted by: Shorter Kvetch at September 7, 2012 6:13 PM...but you really did mean "debilitating toxin".
Posted by: pst314 at September 7, 2012 6:14 PMThis post would be improved tremendously with a link to that Anne woman who is afeerd of demonic possession. Certainly the demons are responsible for the new hair on Costas.
Of course I meant toxin. I've been deliberately misusing words and creating my own vocabulary for 10 years here. In other words, for 5 years since you quit pooping your little boy drawers. I know what I'm doing, and I have a knife, you goddamed nitwit.
Posted by: Velociman at September 8, 2012 6:36 PMThanks for the tip. Now I learn something new from you. Nice to know I was helped through this. Keep posting! =)
