Landmark ruling Title IX is getting a lot of (deserved) attention from ESPN and others these days. The Worldwide Leader has recently issued a series of documentaries in line with its acclaimed 30 for 30 series but with a special focus: "Nine for IX." Tune in.
In the meantime, it's worth digging out a golden oldie from the Idiots' stash. I will not post the lyrics; they are too long to type, and it takes the fun out of listening.
It's the sad story of a protagonist who can never be satiated by sports or sex. Third verse may well be appreciated by Mr. KQ.
No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation . . .
The 30 for 30 on the tragic life of free diver Audrey Mestre is a fascinating look into a bizarre world.
ReplyDeleteNo title for a "Title IX" post? Well played.
ReplyDelete"The Future Legend of Johnny Football" is a must read on the Grantland site.
ReplyDeleteI can always spot a Greasetruck-produced song based on its Soundcloud graph.
ReplyDeletelast monday i was flippin through the channels in my china hotel room and came across Get Shorty....I watched the latter half. dennis farina steals each of his scenes - he's easy to enjoy watching, or was rather. i just found out he died last week...monday in fact. weird.
ReplyDelete"They say the fucking smog is the fucking reason you have such beautiful fucking sunsets."
ReplyDelete"I'm from Miami fuckin beach and you want to show me the fuckin ocean?"
ReplyDeleteI bet Gary Player isn't going to watch Nine for IX.

ReplyDeletenothing clears the martha wood dining room out like a marathon session of random idiots and greasetruck songs.
ReplyDeleteso...NOW do you guys want to go to Mulligans?
ReplyDeleteChris Mullin turns 50 today. I feel old.
ReplyDeleteSeeing Bill Simmons use Midnight Run quotes in an article makes me wince the same way I do when I see 50 y/o dudes with popped collars on their golf shirts.
ReplyDeletemidnight run. charles grodin and robert deniro?
ReplyDeletethat's the one! i think i loved that movie when i was 18.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone actually listen to the song?
ReplyDeletelistened to the first third. it made me laugh.
ReplyDeletei have now listened to some of the song.
ReplyDeleteI listened to it and am honored to be mentioned in both a post and a comment by Clarence and TR, respectively.
ReplyDeletePercy Harvin to have hip surgery. The guy absolutely cannot maintain physical health for any truly prolonged stretch of time. It's remarkable. And shitty.
ReplyDeleteI just read the Harvin article, too bad for him. It also says that "wide receiver Sidney Rice is in Switzerland to have treatment on his knee." What can they do in Switzerland that they can't do in the US? Replace his ligaments with chocolate and cuckoo clock springs?
ReplyDeleteI think it's similar to why Kobe went to Germany for his knees a couple of summers ago. Blood spinning and such, I believe.
ReplyDeleteteej - free smoothies at the union station jamba juice today. grab me one and bring it to the beach tomorrow. thanks in advance.
ReplyDeleteAre you a collar-popper, Mr. KQ?
ReplyDeleteWe definitely have centrifuges in the US. I think athletes go to Europe for something a bit more potent than their own stem cells.
ReplyDeleteCan't say I disagree with you, Z.
