And why I think about moving.
"Paterno's death causes people to remember Bryant"

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama - On the day Paul "Bear" Bryant died, 29 years ago today, Alabama gymnastics coach Sarah Patterson was on her way to State College, Pa., for a meet against Penn State.
What a coincidence. Last Saturday night, when news prematurely circulated that Penn State coach Joe Paterno had died, Patterson was preparing to leave State College after an Alabama gymnastics meet against the Nittany Lions and two other teams.
She had just finished a post-meet radio appearance and was walking through the stands back to the floor when she saw students and fans in tears.
"It took me back all those years, when I saw all those people distraught," Patterson said. "Your heart went out to them, because I saw how it affected people years ago here."
Paterno actually died Sunday morning. He was in grave condition Saturday night, and some news organizations reported then that he had died.
In 1983, Patterson was in her fourth season as Alabama's gymnastics coach. She was 26 years old.
The team had flown into Pittsburgh and was going on to State College in two station wagons. Patterson heard the news on the radio that Bryant, Alabama's legendary football coach, had died in Tuscaloosa.
"So I pulled the station wagon over, I got out and I called the university and I just said, 'OK, here I am, an hour from State College. ... What do you want me to do?'" Patterson recalled.
"And they said, 'We want you to go to Penn State, and we want you to compete.'"
She heard from Sam Bailey, Alabama's associate athletics director.
"Coach Bailey said, 'That's what Coach Bryant would have wanted you to do,'" Patterson said.
The next day, Alabama gymnasts sported commemorative ribbons on their warmups and then defeated the Nittany Lions.
The following day was consumed by travel.
"By the time we got back, it was all over with," Patterson said of Bryant's funeral. "We'd missed everything. Then to be leaving State College and hear the same thing about Coach Paterno ... I just thought that was really ironic. Here I was coming in when one passed away and I was on my way out of town when the other one passed away, both shortly after the end of their coaching careers."
On the 1983 team's drive from Birmingham to Tuscaloosa, Patterson saw one reminder of the funeral procession from Tuscaloosa to Birmingham.
"All I saw was the flowers," she said, referring to the highway overpasses.
"That memory did come back to me. How can I be coming in and out of the same place when the two most revered coaches in my career that I've ever heard of .. ?
"I don't think you're going to have any other coach tell that story, that's for sure."
All I got from this is that every time this goofy whore goes to Pennsylvania an old fuck dies. Maybe she should stay home.
Journalism in Alabama. It's a wonderful thing.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey Pawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwl
Where would you rate this years defense vs our defense in 1992? I'll hang up and listen.
-
Hey Paul, first time caller long time listener, love your show. I got a quick question I haven't heard asked yet - Why does Auburn always feel the need to measure up to Alabama? Thanks, I'll hang up and listen.
-
That Joe Petreeno was a good'n, but he weren't no Bahr Brynt. Wachoo thank PAWWWWL?
-
Hey Pawl, this is Legend, Beepity bo bop, wippity wack woooooooooooo! I'm a inbred fuck. I'm out.
-
Been thankfully out of the Finebaum sphere for a god while.
Flew home yesterday, get in the truck and the radio is tuned to Finebaum.
The topic? "How can anyone possibly consider Joe Paterno the best coach in college football history. Bahr bryant, blah, blah, blah..." I turned it off.
-
Pawwwwwwwwwl the bahr wouldn't have let no child rapist on the team, Pawl. Therefore, we know the bahr is the best Pawl...dontcha think?

I've been Finebaum free for over a month now. It's wonderful.
Still just a small mark erased from the overwhelming charcoal of Alabama bullshit.

I like Bill King in the morning, so that station is usually on when I get in the car at night. Depending on my mood I may listen or may turn it. Both of those questions I have heard over the past 2 weeks at least 3 -5 times.
-
I have been sports talk radio free for a couple of months now. Each time I think about tuning in, I think back to why I quit listening. Just too much bama no matter which show you listen to.
-
I heard Phillip Marshall on the radio a few months ago talking about how he never liked Paterno. Thought he was incredibly arrogant and an asshole...not in so many words. I'll take this moment to agree and say it makes me think of Paul Bryant also.
And to say that after listening to PM on the radio.....I now know why he is a writer. it was painful to listen to.
-
I haven't listened to PAAWWWWWWWWWWWL in over 5 years now, but thanks to you folks, I still know what is said most days...

Some will never learn.

Been tuning in to Baribeau and Scarbo instead the last few days. I think I can get clean.

I consider it intelligence gathering despite the fact that no intelligence is on display. If you listen occasionally you know where the attacks are going to come from.
Keep your enemies closer. Why do you think people read al jazerra?

This is the absolute worst time of year to listen anyway. Combine that with the constant babble of 14, and how the defense compares to '92, with bullshit cracks and shots at Auburn interspersed, it's a good time to get clean.

I listened to that show the other day...and it was terrible too. Not bammer terrible, just bad.

I've only listened to a few minutes that last few days. I heard that Laura McKeeman one day, and Baribeau down in Mobile covering the Sr. Bowl yesterday and a good interview with an NFL scout. The other segments I heard, not so great, but tolerable compared to listening to the jackass chorus on Finebaum. Honestly though, I doubt it can compete.

You should see PM in person. Affable guy, but a large, shuffling, slovenly grizzly of a man with a face a goonie could love. He dresses like he earned every bit of $2643.81 last year. His clothes are sometimes stained, he typically has food crumbs drifting down the front of them and they usually don't fit very well. On multiple occasions I've seen that belly line where the too-tight across the gut cotton polo rides up and the $5 Hagar rejects purchased at Burlington drop down beneath the girth. His questions sound like they're filtered through a sodden wall of oozing phlegm and then strained through a wad of wet cotton.
He's a big, affable nice guy and he writes somewhat better than a high schooler with a blog, but presentation-wise? The guy is a wrecked train.
Most AL writers are like that.
Marshall at least emanates some glimmer of intelligence.
Cecil Hurt's eyes are as dead and dumb as a tree sloth. He's hardly stylish either. The writers he hires for the TNews are all even dimmer than he is. And that's pretty fucking dim. The guy is one "o" short of moron. Plus he's a terrible writer. Abysmal.
I've seen Tommy Deas with leaves in his hair and a squirrel crawling out of his back pocket.
Most of them dress like they don't have two nickels or a pot to put them in and if they DID have two nickels they'd spend them on gravy at Ryan's (and spill a nickel's worth down their shirt front).
Exceptions?
Scarbinsky (he was metrosexual before metro existed) and Finebaum (Ichabod is usually squared away and has on a tie),

I didn't know he was an engineer.

I recall PM as a kid when I was in Montgomery. He used to write for the Advertiser and I'd see him every time me and my pops would go to Patterson Field for a Mongomery Rebels game. He was always seated right down front, 1st base dugout side and always had the same cut up looking Army shirt on. He always struck me as a fat slob, even as a kid.

Simp and I had a chance to hang out with Phillip at A Day a couple of years back. He stopped by the spot we had outside the stadium before the game/scrimmage. Anywho - he seemed much nicer in person than I had always heard on the radio. I think he's just one of those "man of few words" and "tells it like it is" guys. I did like him better as a writer for the Huntsville paper. His voice is AWFUL though. He didn't say much when I talked to him but when he did he was nice enough. Sometimes I like Phillip and sometimes I don't. He's just a hard one to peg for me. He is still much better than the alternatives out there. Bill Cameron, IMHO, is a pretty good radio host on Sportstalk in the afternoons (93.9 Auburn).

Next caller is Shane from Hades calling from a Ouija board. Hey Shane, what's up?
Hey Paaaawwwl. Well its hotter than hell here - kind of what you'd expect this place to be. I didn't contact you to talk about the weather though; I'm still pursuing the Scam Newton deal at Auburn. You know Paaaawwwwl, I was talking with Bear and JoePa earlier today and they both say money was funneled to Cecil Newton's church through Brother Chette. I'm working on an article for my new blog "Hell's fire burns crimson red.com". I'm trying to figure out how to sync this ouija board to Mark Emmert's email account.

My first professional baseball game. Hell, I had to be only 10 or 11. The only thing I remember was that I got one of those little bats. Had that thing for a long time. I think my Dixie Youth Angels team went one season.
Far cry from the Biscuits.

The Rebels games were cool to go to as a kid. Probably a few hundred people at most so we could roam the stadium with glove in hand, trying to get that coveted foul ball. One of the last years they were in existence, they had 7 guys who eventually became starters for the Detroit Tigers playing there, including Allen Trammel, Lou Whitaker and a 3rd baseman named Brookings...Brookens...can't recall the exact name.
