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.

No title for a "Title IX" post? Well played.

"The Future Legend of Johnny Football" is a must read on the Grantland site.

I can always spot a Greasetruck-produced song based on its Soundcloud graph.

"I'm from Miami fuckin beach and you want to show me the fuckin ocean?"

I bet Gary Player isn't going to watch Nine for IX.

nothing clears the martha wood dining room out like a marathon session of random idiots and greasetruck songs.

Jerry said...

so...NOW do you guys want to go to Mulligans?

Geoff said...

Chris Mullin turns 50 today. I feel old.

Seeing 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.

Dave said...

midnight run. charles grodin and robert deniro?

Dave said...

that's the one! i think i loved that movie when i was 18.

Clarence said...

Did anyone actually listen to the song?

rob said...

listened to the first third. it made me laugh.

Danimal said...

i have now listened to some of the song.

Mr KQ said...

I listened to it and am honored to be mentioned in both a post and a comment by Clarence and TR, respectively.

Percy Harvin to have hip surgery. The guy absolutely cannot maintain physical health for any truly prolonged stretch of time. It's remarkable. And shitty.

zman said...

I 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?

Mark said...

I think it's similar to why Kobe went to Germany for his knees a couple of summers ago. Blood spinning and such, I believe.

rob said...

teej - free smoothies at the union station jamba juice today. grab me one and bring it to the beach tomorrow. thanks in advance.

TR said...

Are you a collar-popper, Mr. KQ?

zman said...

We definitely have centrifuges in the US. I think athletes go to Europe for something a bit more potent than their own stem cells.

Mark said...

Can't say I disagree with you, Z.
