I have always found it hard to take Bill Kurtis seriously to be honest. That absurdly affected voice just cries out for ridicule. If you looked in the dictionary under ‘pompous windbag blowhard’…what the hell are you still doing with a dictionary? This is 2010, we use Google. But I’m sure you get the point.
You can’t fool Cubs fans with shallow puffery and cut-rate baubles, however. When Kurtis starts throwing stuffed animals to the crowd like he’s King Midas on the royal throne tossing the minions some cake, good, honest Cubs fans get pissed enough to throw them back as if they are Ryan Howard home run balls. Take that you filthy Kurtis! “Play Ball”, indeed.
I had the footage of his first pitch the other day, but because it wasn’t that great I only Twittered it. (that’s right bitches) But now that there is a completely boring yet somehow compelling interview on today’s WGN News, I figured a hardcore Hawks fan might appreciate the video. Interviewer Steve Sanders fumbles like he lost a contact and Bollard isn’t exactly Jerry Lewis, and somehow you can’t look away, but I bet you can’t watch twice. I had another whole joke set up right here somehow equating this video with The Godfather, but in retrospect it wasn’t really funny at all. You’re welcome. I’ll do my best to spare you similarly, as often as possible, in the future.
On a side note, I never thought I would like Twitter as much as I do and yes I realize how retarded that sounds. The interesting part is that every time I plug this website there…I lose followers. That doesn’t make much sense to me. But then again, an octopus picked all the World Cup games right so what the hell do I know. And don’t follow me if you already don’t. I have plugged it plenty and you have had ample opportunity. Go LeBron yourself. (I need to start a Wikipedia page for the term ‘LeBron yourself’)
