Not a TK fan obviously part 2

Dr. Z's comments on the NFL Broadcast teams, from SI.COM:

Zero Stars

Joe Theismann, Mike Tirico and Tony Kornheiser, ESPN

I've raged against this outfit for years and it hasn't done a bit of good, so I won't waste an awful lot of space on their newest clown, Kornheiser, or their play-by-play guy, Tirico, who brings you only part of the action, and none at all if there's one of those interminable guest-in-the-booth abominations. But I will say that I approached their Giants-Dallas show in Week 7 with absolute dread because I knew the T.O. stuff would beonce again flogged to death in tedious and humorless terms. And they didn't disappoint me. When I die and go to hell, hell will be a Kornheiser bit on T.O.-prolonged indefinitely.

Not a TK fan obviously part 1

Chris Berman is playing the week at Pebble Beach. Did anyone yell out "You're With Me, Leather," the great smarmy quote attributed to him Deadspin and other sites?

Sadly, no. But when asked about the phrase, here's what The Fat Man said:

From the Morning Buzz Blog:


He hasn’t heard this particular phrase — “not once, because the people here are nice people.”

He asked why I was asking. I told him: because this thing has taken on cultural-phenomenon status. To which he said, yeah, for a bunch of anonymous guys on the Internet. To which I said, well, Kornheiser and Olbermann used it.

To which he said, “Like I said, there are some mean-spirited people.”

RIP George Berger

Not a TK story, but a Friend of Tony story...

George Berger, whom TK often talked about on the radio show and worked for the PGA after running the Presidents' Cup in DC, suddenly died the other day.

Lenny Shapiro wrote about Berger in the Post today.
