Does this mean his radio show can now finally go off the air?

The only sadness to this news is less Dushku.

I always think of Count Duku (sp) when I hear her name.

She’s a gamer. She’ll catch on to a failed show somewhere else

Wow, colin’s show canceled before jim hendry got fired.
Which cowturd announced Friday.

Hernia, not so much when you factor in the nose job and heroin cheek.
May 16th, 2011 at 8:44 PM
Choo is garbage….
May 16th, 2011 at 8:52 PM
I’ll have to use my Internet sleuthing to see if I can find a copy of the pilot. I’ll post it when I find it.

TJ, related to the Greg Jennings post:
Tony Romo was named No. 72 on the Top 100 players of 2011. Romo played in six games last year.

so if the unfortunate happens and the Greenberg abomination gets picked up, does Anthony Michael Hall’s friend from Weird Science get to play Greenberg?
May 16th, 2011 at 9:05 PM
Good lord
May 16th, 2011 at 9:22 PM
Heroin cheek is one of the funniest things I’ve ever read on this site.

Mantis, if MacFarlane voices any of the characters this show will be awful. I do not mind the Flintstones being rebooted but not by him.
May 16th, 2011 at 9:38 PM
Exactly. I don’t really care if the Flintstones is going to be rebooted, but it will turn into another political satire with fart jokes.
May 16th, 2011 at 9:39 PM
Break up the Tribe y’all! 13-0, despite Choo and Santana going hitless thus far.
May 16th, 2011 at 9:44 PM
if i was forced to watch greenturd or cowturd, i would pick cowturd. greenberg is the absolute worst, jerry, the worst.
May 16th, 2011 at 9:48 PM
Greenberg certainly is the worst of the two
May 16th, 2011 at 9:48 PM
The Mark Schlereth pilot “Home Game” was passed on as well.
May 16th, 2011 at 9:49 PM
“waiving his hand” ?? For the purpose of giving it its unconditional release?
/not a grammar nazi
/just thought heroin cheek was hilarious
May 16th, 2011 at 9:53 PM
That’s the point. The Stigs meme was one of the first on this site, and it had to do with misspelled words.
May 16th, 2011 at 9:58 PM
I prefer Greenberg over Cowherd. Can’t say there’s solid reasons why, but just the less annoying to me.
May 16th, 2011 at 10:01 PM
16-1 now. Save some of these for the rest of the week. Royals for one more then off to the South Side to face the Meth Sox.
May 16th, 2011 at 10:01 PM
For TBL: IGN selects 25 Best Crime Films. Did Dark Knight make the cut? Oh, the suspense is killing me?!?
May 16th, 2011 at 10:02 PM
anyone reading all the Terrence Malick press for Tree of Life? That guy has a beautiful wikipedia.
May 16th, 2011 at 10:03 PM
The Tribe are a motherfucker.

Here is the pilot for the Greenberg show

Royals pitcher Vin Mazzaro gave up 14 ER in 2 1/3 innings tonight, tying the record for the most ever by a pitcher. Poor kid was left out to dry after the starter went out 4 batters in with a bad shoulder and another reliever was used for the rest of the 1st and 2nd innings.
Mazzaro was scheduled to start tomorrow for the Royals. I sure would like to see him on the bump again. Damn.
May 16th, 2011 at 10:09 PM
That should be 14 ER ties most by a reliever. Still sucks for Mazzaro who played the sacrificial lamb tonight.

Shane Battier is using Twitter to hold a scavenger hunt by putting bobbleheads around the city of Memphis and giving hints. That’s pretty cool.
May 16th, 2011 at 10:10 PM
damn, that is pretty cool of Battier
May 16th, 2011 at 10:11 PM
Dude, it’s a heist movie, wrong list.
May 16th, 2011 at 10:12 PM
That’s a pretty cool character, especially for a Dookie.
May 16th, 2011 at 10:12 PM
Battier’s a pretty solid guy to follow. I think we all know he’s really smart, but he’s quoted Animal House and The Big Lebowski to make analogies about the Grizzlies in this year’s playoffs. That + this scavenger hunt make me think he’s a pretty awesome dude.
May 16th, 2011 at 10:13 PM
Poor kid was left out to dry after the starter went out 4 batters in with a bad shoulder and
I’m just going to assume Kyle Davies was the starter. Been without a cable box since Friday. Also, not willing to follow the Royals on the internet.
On a sad note, Paul Splitorff is near death due to oral cancer and melanoma.

May 16th, 2011 at 10:20 PM
You would be right. He walked 3 guys and got 1 out on a line drive to 1st, then went out of the game. Strained shoulder, getting MRI tonight.
May 16th, 2011 at 10:29 PM
if im not mistaken a large part of this site’s success came from cowherd’s blow up…taking the high road would’ve been advisable.

Do it. You are young. You don’t want to be 60 and having half your jaw removed.

The Whitlock interview got TBL on the map. The Cowherd thing pushed TBL into the low seven figures.
May 16th, 2011 at 10:37 PM
I’m 99% confident the O’s bullpen give up this game.
May 16th, 2011 at 10:38 PM
you speak truth kc res…just hard to quit.
May 16th, 2011 at 10:38 PM
And right on cue, Youkilis, that piece of shit, hits a double to lead off the 8th.
May 16th, 2011 at 11:07 PM
But, Kevin Gregg is a great closer!
May 16th, 2011 at 11:08 PM
Kevin Gregg is an abortion.
May 16th, 2011 at 11:08 PM
From a previous post…
I’d set the over/under on Cowherd’s show lasting 16 episodes
May 16th, 2011 at 11:53 PM
Did I miss discussion of one of the Teach Me How To Dougie kids getting murdered? That’s a really terrible story
May 16th, 2011 at 11:56 PM
It really is… no one deserves that.
May 17th, 2011 at 7:24 AM
Greenberg over Cowherd. Greenberg is annoying with all his metrosexual-ness, but at least he’s not a pompous dick who endorses everything I hate about sports.
/RATINGS!
