Also, to Chris R. who wrote:
“My nomination for funny:

Deadspin commenters. Really. The posts are funny, but man the comments make reading the site a first-class experience.”

I agree with you but I’m becoming a little suspicious of this site. I read “Wonkette” from time to time and they are both run by Gawker Media, and they both have the funniest commenter’s in the blogosphere (I hate that word, and I’m sorry I used it). I think they’ve hired writer’s from The Daily Show and The Colbert Report to post comments on their boards.

Joe, once again you are spot on. The thing is most rants are inherently funny, but coaches rants are the best. Who can forget Jim Mora’s classic “playoffs?…..playoffs?” Or Lee Elia ripping the denizens of Wrigley for not having jobs? Mike Ditka had a new one every week. My current favorite (for almost a year now) is Dennis Green’s “crown their asses” rant.

I tried to watch some follow-up video clips discussing the “serious” matters of which the Gundy tirade *could* raise awareness. But I only ended up giggling at this ytmnd: http://gundyman40.ytmnd.com/

There might be a time and a place to figure out how the media should treat college athletes and so forth, but this is not it. All we need to know now is that Mike Gundy is a MAN. And he is FORTY!

The best thing about those famous Seinfeld scenes are the looks on their faces – they’re all trying so hard not to laugh. It’s as if they KNEW these scenes would be famous for years. Or, maybe, they were just having fun.

And as for Wall Street, the funniest thing in that movie is Gordon Gekko’s cell phone when he’s walking on the beach. Cracks me up every time. I made my wife watch that movie up until that scene just so she could see the cell phone.

Somehow, she didn’t laugh.

Joe, you should check out David Cross’s “Kansas City” story from his album (yes) _Shut Up You F*****g Babies_. The first time I heard it was the closest I’ve ever come to actual loss of bladder control.

That’s what I love about this blog, Joe. A perfectly attuned humor detector, sometimes aimed at yourself. Entertaining and endearing.

For Kerfeld: Roy Blount, Jr. thought Oddibe was one of the best names in sports because it embodied every boyhood dream: “Oh, to be McDowell.”

Joe, this website is great. Also, it has been added to your wikipedia article.

Oh my. Apparently, I need to start rewriting everything in free verse poetry. Changes my entire perspective.

The comedian you heard on XM radio was most likely Louis C.K., who has a routine about his young daughter being a bleephole.
