More overreaction by the press


Ahhh.  The good old British press.  A fine example of objective reportering and...  oh, hang on.  The British press?


Does anyone else think that there has been a slight overreaction by the british press to Our Harry's questionable taste in fancy dress costumes?



Maybe he should retaliate by saying that he is simply celebrating his German ancestry.  Or perhaps point out that the swastika was a hindu, bhuddist or native american symbol before it was ever associated with the Nazis.


Ok, it was bad taste, and probably a bit of a silly thing to wear in his position - but he's only a kid.  Who gives a monkeys?

Bit of a booboo given his profile.  The chap's apologised.  What more do they want?  Another apology?  Why?

He is a bit of a dingus on this one - and he is 20 years old, old enough to drink, drive, marry, have kids and read a history book - someone should have said "Dont wear that" like his brother? He was there after all...

Yanks do this too, check it:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Best all-around performance: Randy Moss
First, he gets all the uptight guys on the studio shows in a hilarious
lather. Honestly, Boomer Esiason became so angry during his pregame
tirade on Moss, it was like watching Hitler give those crazy speeches
in the late-30's. (Not to compare Boomer to Hitler, but you know what
I mean.) Then, Moss decides to wear Thelma's afro from "Good Times."
Then he kills the Packers downfield, drops a few 12-letter swear words
on camera while screaming at the Lambeau fans, and caps things off
with a second TD and the fake moon, which drove the MAWSM (middle-aged
white sports media) bonkers again. And then he took credit for the
Minny win by claiming that he caused such a distraction leading up the
game, everyone was focusing on him and not the annual Minnesota
collapse -- which was actually sorta true.

(Moss' grade for the weekend: A-plus. You couldn't ask for much more.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Funniest meltdown: Joe Buck
Seeing him gunning for an Emmy after Moss' moon had to be one of the
funniest TiVo moments of all-time, right up there with the Jackson
wardrobe malfunction and everything Stephen Jackson did during the
Artest melee. Hey, remember the days when play-by-play guys were only
there to provide play-by-play and set up the color guys? Then Bob
Costas started doing baseball games ... within ten years, we had Buck
unilaterally deciding the groundrules for moral decency during NFL
games, starting a chain reaction that actually led to FOX and ESPN
refuse to replay the clip that night. Since when did Buck turn into
the Dad from Footloose? Isn't he like 35?

(One other question here: Wasn't Buck the same guy who beat those Babe
Ruth pictures and angles into the ground over the past two years
during Red Sox playoff games? So he's okay with torturing an entire
fan base of young Red Sox fans to build up a media-related curse, but
those same young kids need to be protected from seeing somebody
pantomine mooning a crowd? How does this work again?)

Indeed.  He should be making a formal apology to the Whole Monty Python gang.  Including the dead one.


And then they should make a movie about it.  A funny one, with no trekking round the world or Bond gadgets.

There should be a crucifixion.    "Out of the door, turn left, third cross on the right"
