I was flipping channels today on Ye Olde Satellite Radio, and I swear I wouldn’t have ventured all the way to XM 175 but the unholy drive-time trio of Kuselias, Myers and Brando, each of ’em discussing T.O.’s fingers like he’s Nikita Fucking Khrushchev, was just too much. Anyhow, I tuned into Dibble and Kennedy just in time to hear the former talking about the time M.C. Hammer dropped off his latest and greatest in the Reds’ clubhouse.
Dibble : Man, I tell you, I was using that CD for target practice.
Kennedy : You could really put on some Hatebreed after that.
Dibble : Aw, lemme tell you, I was down with NWA back then. I used to think they were so cool…cause they were real gangsters and stuff. Ice T…I know he’s an actor now, but he used to be so hardcore. He had this band called Body Count…
Kennedy : …..
Dibble : You know, Ice Cube has a new album out, and he’s calling out all the younger rappers. All of their talk about mansions, bling, cars, girls, etc. He’s really laying into ’em.
Kennedy : They’re all wannabes!
Dibble : Oh yeah, cause you know, guys like Ice Cube and Dr. Dre, they invented hip hop. I mean, they were really influenced by East Coast groups like Grandmaster Flash, Kool Moe Dee…
It was right about then I thought it might be a good idea to change the station. Well, that and they were promising a phone interview with Billy Wagner.
When I came back about 30 minutes later, they were playing the title track from Body Count’s eponymous album. I guess Dibs will be hearing from Charlton Heston any minute now.

yeah how dare they charge for a column by someone they pay.
well, thanks for staying on topic, anon. Always good to see you here.
Will has since corrected himself Gammo’s first column back is not, in fact, Insider-only.
There’s plenty of free content on ESPN and everywhere else. I really don’t get the Screech’s outrage, not unless you wanna be pissed at your ISP, the phone company, newspapers that aren’t free, etc. The growing grumbliness with all-thangs ESPN is to be expected, and rarely does the Worldwide Leader do itself any favors with all the in-house shilling. But really, if Bristol U. were blown to bits tomorrow, how many of you —- Screech included — would enjoy seeing Fox take over the baseball coverage? Pat O’Brien talking dirty before the NBA playoffs? The 1995 design aesthetic that is CBS Sportsline becoming the most visited site in your browser history? Your nightly highlights from….Warner Wolf? George Michael? Budd Mishkin?

i’ve been cable-less for coming up on two years so it wouldn’t affect me in the least. except that i’d probably be able to watch monday night football again.
This conversation doesn’t affect me in the least, because I don’t even have internet.
