The Pam Ward Chronicles: Week 1

Saturday, September 01, 2007


Welcome to the first weekly installment of The Pam Ward Chronicles. I'm going to be keeping track of the Announcing Quotes throughout the day and I ask that you join in. Please leave any that you come across in the comments.

We're starting today with a few gems from Colin Cowherd's night in the booth. As much as I can't stand the guy's voice he wasn't really THAT bad. I'm a big fan of Rob Stone and Sean McDonough and they counteracted any nonsense Cowherd or Spielman put out there.

OMDQ's goodness will still be going on below this post so be sure to check out his posts as well. Enjoy the day of football folks!

"Get ready for a show about 3 guys not trying to reinvent the wheel because they've already invented it. Caveman about my family....Caveman watch it....funny!"- Paul Maguire

"We head to the 4th quarter and we're just about set to Jump Around at Camp Randall."- Brad Nessler

(Or jumps around?)

"Great catch and then he was batted around like a pinball"- Mike Patrick

"If you have a chance to tackle him you HAVE to take it"- Todd Blackledge

Just a little bit of fun here: ESPN is already reporting that if Appalachian State makes it all the way to the 1-AA championship game this year, Michigan should get a rematch.

Brent Musberger talking about the tree-huggers behind Berkley's stadium, one of whom claimed that the tree was a war memorial, WWI to be exact...

"You know, this stadium was built in 1923, and when I went to school, World War One was fought before that."

Incoherent, condescending, completely missed the point. Good job, Brent. Have another drink.

P.S."The university has promised to plant three for every one they cut down.Three for one is a very good deal if you're a tree-hugger."

Brent, again.

I have no idea if this is live or not, but Bill Walton has to be high for this Brazil-Argentina game. If he's not, he needs to stop boxing.

We have been treated to a lecture on how Brazil is destroying the rainforests and giving the wood to China, and then a geology lesson that explained how earthquakes don't happen in Brazil, so it's impossible to say that they look as shaken as someone that went through an earthquake.

I'm not sure if that's correct because I couldn't understand what the hell was going on.

Wigan does not http://startso11.info/www.ewcia1339.jakijest.ppl.html go into these niceties of this subject, and I failed.. The unconscious is the larger circle which includes within itself the smaller circle of the conscious; everything conscious has its preliminary step in the unconscious, whereas the unconscious may stop with this step and still claim full value as a http://startso11.info/Pozna%C5%84+stancja.html psychic activity.. That friend of yours, he said, indicating the unconscious figure at the further end of the house, seems http://startso11.info/kosiarkiostr%C3%B3w+wlkp.html to be a queer sort of a Dick.. In the psychoses these modes of operation of the psychic apparatus, which are normally suppressed in the waking state, reassert themselves, and then betray their http://startso11.info/noclegi+nad+Ba%C5%82tykiem.html inability to satisfy our wants in the outer world.. Right and left, according to him, are to be conceived in the dream in http://startso11.info/www.+strzelanki.pl.html an ethical sense.. Golden harvests glistened out of sight, and I caught their rustling http://storyah44.info/przerabianie+samochod%C3%B3w+z+angli.html whisper of prosperity.. They are always models http://storyah44.info/pokacycki.html of obedience, ma'am.. Among these we particularly http://startso11.info/www.nespquik.pl.html find associations of the sound and consonance types.. Nevertheless, the Colonel http://startso11.info/parkowanie+nipelnosprawnych.html returned to his private room, and it was nearly twilight when the faithful Jim entered, to find him sitting meditatively before his desk..

She was merely trying its http://startso11.info/wielkie+m%C5%82ode+piersi.html sound.. White men sought him out and made much http://startso11.info/falun+dafa.html of him; white women talked to him about his career; and wherever he went, women of color--black girls, brown girls, yellow girls--wrote him of their admiration, whispered, when he would listen, of their passion and hero-worship..

Paraphrased:

Mike Patrick: Delay of game. See that’s the fault of the center, a true freshman.
Todd Blackledge: It’s really the QB’s fault. He’s gotta get the team out of the huddle faster.
Mike Patrick: It’s really hard to blame the center, since he’s a true freshman.

Sorry, I wasn't watching it on the DVR:)
