gmac17 Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 Don't take it personal. I've met people from NYC, Long Island and Westchester county that I did like but unfortunately a few bad apples really spoiled the lot. I went to a SUNY school that was primarly NYC area kids. They left an impression that I will never lose. well, there are a lot of people on this thread that I like, but unfortunately one bad apple really spoiled the lot....
eball Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 So did Jim Jones. 615729[/snapback] Umm, right. Mass murderer = dirty comic.
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 Umm, right. Mass murderer = dirty comic. 615898[/snapback] Wow. Way to completely miss his point. You're not related to Newbie, are you?

Crap Throwing Monkey Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 great use of italics...for a monkey...you sure are awesome 615925[/snapback] I'm awesome for a marmot, too.
eball Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 Wow. Way to completely miss his point. You're not related to Newbie, are you? 615903[/snapback] I don't think LA equates Jim Jones with Howard Stern; I just think a lot of the "arguments" made in this thread are pretty silly, and I think his "point" is off base. If I'm supposed to agree with everything he says, just let me know.
IDBillzFan Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 Umm, right. Mass murderer = dirty comic. 615898[/snapback] Try "person with a large following = person with a large following," which indicates that your point of "Stern is crazy like a fox because people are talking about him" is a very generic point that can be painted across many conflicting paths. Sorry you were unable to connect those dots. I get the sense you're taking a side just to take a side so I'll lay off with the Stern criticisms for now and just be thankful he's off the public airwaves. Still, when you all gather to talk about how brilliant his latest interview with Jenna Jamison and her Traveling Fake Orgasm Show is, at least you'll understand when I take an opposing side just to, you know, take a side.
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 I don't think LA equates Jim Jones with Howard Stern; 616169[/snapback] Then why did you say: Umm, right. Mass murderer = dirty comic. 615898[/snapback] What, you don't think he equates the two, you just say he does?
Just Jack Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 The only times he was ever funny were when his talk show got cancelled (see Chevy Chase) & when MNF fired him. :lol: 614973[/snapback] I really think his MNF gig was ABC's attempt at getting the next Howard Cosell, an intelligent person that could also discuss sports. Problem was that Millers comments were going over the head of todays Joe Six Pack, whereas when Howard was around, people took more pride in being intelligent.

Problem was that Millers comments were going over the head of todays Joe Six Pack, whereas when Howard was around, people took more pride in being intelligent. 616492[/snapback] Both lacked football credibility going into the gig... Cosell was totally different from anyone before him, and his schtick was unique & innovative. Miller was also totally different from anyone before him, but his schtick was not funny at all, which is why he was a bust... bottom line, he's just lame, and has been a failure in everything he's done post-SNL... really, even on SNL, he sucked. Political humor is the last refuge for bottom-of-the-barrel comedians who can't cut it anywhere else (see Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, Don Imus) I've read that Limbaugh was the one who was truly being set-up to be the next Cosell. The plan was for him to get his feet wet for a year on NFL Gameday & then slide into the MNF booth. Now I'm not a Rush fan at all, but if he hadn't blown it with the McNabb incident, I think he would've been far, far more successful than Miller. People would be talking about what Rush said instead of hitting the mute button with Miller.
