| AW, I was too young to remember McKay live during that Olympics but I have seen it and watched him his later years. Great post. |

Cox, you never cease to amaze, and I mean that in the worst way. McKay, like many entertainers, had talent, and then made the most of his opportunity. I won't say luck, because it was a tragedy. And it has precedent -
Edward R. Murrow became famous reporting the London bombings. Dan Rather made his name nationally sending reports from Dallas on November 22nd, 1963. And that Hindenberg guy ("oh, the humanity") made a whole career out of being, well, the Hinderberg guy.
It's sad, it's true, and it happens. And who's to say - it's very possible that Chris Schenkel, had he been on the air that day, would never have had the long successful career that he enjoyed. He would have been banned from the air forever after using repeated bowling analogies to describe the botched rescue attempt.

Great job by Angry Wardinia - I was tempted to use your chosen name but then came to my senses.
B. Cox: You are an idiot but we already knew that.
Yankees Suck: Take your thumb out of your mouth and stand up for your team. They look pretty good right now. Lets Go Mutts! |

It's that time of the week again where we are blessed with literary genius from Angry Ward and more importantly, who is been awarded the valuable Phanatic Phriday Phil In slot.
YS has obviously been stresses out by the burden as evidenced by his limited appearances this week.
After reviewing multiple audition submissions this week, the Phanatic Phriday Phil in for Phriday the 13th will be none other than the hated and evil B Cox. Who would be better than B Cox on Phriday the 13th?
Good luck B Cox. You have 42 hours to post some CLEAN, funny content on Meet the Matts, Where Sports Gets Funny. |

B. Cox on Friday.
I have to update my Outlook calendar, so I don't forget to shoot myself on Thursday. |

Don't let it B. Cox! He thinks the most tragic event in sports is when Jesse Owens showed Adolf Hitler what superiority really means.
As we know that celebrity deaths come in three's I'd also like to make mention of the one the only the great Bo Diddley. The band in heaven keeps getting better and better while the talent pool down here on earth keeps getting more and more shallow. And Mr. Diddley could act too! I'm not saying he is a Harvey "Now go do that voo doo that you do so well" Korman, but who can ever forget the classic line "In Philadlphia it's worth 50 bucks."
For Cookie only (and no help from the Phanatic or his phriends) two bonus points if you can name that movie.
And as another, perhaps more subtle hint for Cookie: Ward, great post as usual and "See you next Wednesday." |
