Ok now here is some UK football news that I can truly get behind. My favorite UK football player in history not named Blake Bowling is making a bit of a splash in the NFL. Yes our man, the Hefty Lefty, Round Mound of Touchdown, Pillsbury Throwboy, Jared Lorenzen is showing signs that he may actually have an NFL career. After an auspicious start in which he walked out of camp in his first year with the New York Giants, incredibly the Blue Man Group invited J-Load back, allowing him last year to knock out the “Bachelor” Jesse Palmer, in order to become the third string QB.
And now this year, the Load is throwing his weight around some more and hunting another celebrity, Tim Hasselback….whose wife Elizabeth is quite possibly the most annoying woman not named Ann Curry, while hosting The View. Seems that Jared is having such a good mini-camp that he may knock Mr. View off the roster completely. FoxSports had this to say about the battle:
Quarterback Jared Lorenzen, 6-4 and 285, has been surprisingly effective in camp so far and that lends credence to the thought that last year’s backup, Tim Hasselbeck, is going to be the odd man out in the four-quarterback competition. From early indications, veteran Rob Johnson will supplant Hasselbeck as the backup to Eli Manning with Lorenzen the third quarterback. But if he continues to show pin-point accuracy along with a cannon arm and a newly-acquired sense of the offense, it is a long-shot possibility that Lorenzen might be the backup himself.
It is no secret that I love me some Lorenzen. No Kentucky player was more consistently entertaining over his years in college and he was a known national commodity due to his entertaining build. Like fellow Kentuckian Patrick Sparks, Lorenzen had a love-hate affair with UK fans who were often supremely critical of him during his time here. Of course after calling for Shane Boyd and watching the QB situation since he left, most of those fans likely have less to say now.
Either way, I am pulling for the Throwboy big time. His time at Kentucky was great and when CBS would put him in a lineup with offensive lineman and ask us to “pick which one was the QB,” it got me every time….especially the 10th time because I was being distracted by Antonio Hall singing “Old Man River.”

Lorenzen’s awesome. He looks like a friggin’ dump truck. I love the guy. I swear, if they start selling a Giants Lorenzen jersey, I’m getting one.

Don’t forget the best nickname of all: “Big Fat Quarterback”. It’s not clever, but it sure
is funny.

“I love me some Lorenzen”?? You’re Duke degree was just rescinded.

I heard that if you soak a Duke degree in water, it turns into a
toy dinosaur sponge.

I don’t know what’s more disturbing, your comment “I love me some Lorenzen” or that you watch The View?
That’s be awesome if Eli went down in the big game vs. Indy, and Jared took center-stage and brought the Giants back to win. I can dream can’t I?

I have had just about enough of everyone disparaging Elizabeth!
She alone is the only reason I have ever cared about Survivor.
Elizabeth was so beautiful after 3 months on a deserted island that
we renamed “Survivor” “The Elizabeth Show” for the remainder of that
season.
If you’ll recall, that same season had our very own “Kentucky Joe”
Roger Bingham offer to be the sacrificial lamb so that Elizabeth
might stay one more week. He portrayed the Commonwealth in a wonderful
light and Miss Elizabeth was more than sweet as she thanked him and
cried over his departure.
So, despite the fact that her occupation on Survivor was “Footwear
Designer”, she married a Boston College quarterback named Hasselback
who is competing for PT against Fatty, and that she’s on the View
sans Star Jones, we need to give the unkind words a rest.

The man from Leslie County is right, proving that Leslie Countains know two things well. First, no matter
what they may think, that goat is NOT going to be receptive to their advances, and second, well, I forgot.
But the point is that Mosley is right. She is hot. Very hot. She’s “why the hell did you marry a guy who
looks like he should be a mortgage broker at an Eastern Kentucky bank when you could have had me” hot. Criticize
if you must, and apparettly we must, but she’s hot.
August 1st, 2006 at 10:06 pm
Of course she is hot….but you obviously havent seen her on the show….she is the biggest prude in the continental United States. She would be like being married to Elizabeth Dole, minus the friskiness. I thought on Survivor she was gorgeous and I still think she is quite the looker….but if I had to live with her, (or for that matter watch her much more on tv), I would explode.

Somehow, I’m able to dodge The View every day. She’s why there’s a mute button on the remote.

Firstly, TWalters, I know a Bell Countian is not making fun of a
Leslie Countian. That’s comical and akin to Lara Flynn-Boyle making
fun of Nicole Ritchie’s eating disorder.
Secondly, I can proudly point to the fact that I have never seen the
View as a badge of my masculinity (although others would point to
my watching of the Hills, Laguna Beach, and the OC as counterpoints),
so I have no idea of Elizabeth’s role on the show or how she comes
across. Even if she’s calling for the US to retract women’s suffrage,
I would still find her delightful.
Thirdly, is there a worse person in the world than Rosie O’ Donnell?
I could list the reasons, but really, is that necessary?
August 2nd, 2006 at 11:39 am
There is nothing wrong with the View. I dont watch it, but my hero Tony Kornheiser does, so you better watch your mouth.
I actually dont mind Rosie….not the funniest person in the world (and certainly not the cutest), but she can make me laugh….something that puts her ahead of most female comedians in my book.
As for Elizabeth….she really is the worst. Cute yes, the worst…also yes.
August 2nd, 2006 at 1:44 pm
Fine, we’ll play Kornheiser/Wilbon “Who you got?” with Rosie and
Elizabeth. Simple game. Simple answer.
My question to you:
“Who you got?”
I take Elizabeth.
August 2nd, 2006 at 1:53 pm
This is not a Rosie v Elizabeth battle, but I will say this. If you are asking me who is hottest, there is no doubt it is Elizabeth. But if you are asking who I wuold rather see on tv or be friends with….then Rosie wins.
Now if it is who I have to date….I pick Elizabeth but plan to be away from home for most of my life.
August 2nd, 2006 at 5:41 pm
Rosie O’Donnell is the most despicable blob of psuedo-human crap on the planet. My hatred for her
rivals that of my hatred of the heat, Roger Hardin, and the NBA.
As for female comedians, she is second worst to Wanda Sykes, whose appeal is still an enigma to me.
August 3rd, 2006 at 8:12 am
Stop trying to qualify the question, Wilbon.
It’s very simple, “Who you got?” No explanations needed. Your
answer was akin to a “push” on over/under.
TWalters, I’m with you on heat, the NBA, and Wanda Sykes (someone
gave her not one, but TWO television shows), but I must take issue
with Roger Harden as I attended his basketball camps as a youth
in Whitley County and he tied my shoe once.
