Mike Francesa Thinks Ike Davis Has Jungle Fever
Ike Davis of the Mets has been struggling this season. In 42 games and 155 at bats, Davis is hitting just .159 with an OBP of .213. Radio blowhard Mike Francesa on the other hand – he’s been on fire lately. Last week he made some epic comments about Twitter. Yesterday, he said that Davis’ struggles this season could be due to “Jungle Fever.”
“Someone brought up Jungle Fever. Now we don’t even know how that manifests itself.”
Well Mike, if Ike Davis were in fact suffering from “Jungle Fever” he would be perusing dark-skinned women. Francesa was, of course, referring to Davis’ bout with Valley fever earlier this month. Valley fever manifests itself in a much less sexy way. If you are interested in learning more about Jungle Fever, Spike Lee made a movie on the subject back in the 1990′s.

You want to talk about a movie that’s dated?

This seems as good as place as any to mention it: RIP Paul Fussell.

I’ve never heard this guy’s voice, but based on my understanding of Hernia posts…it’s Francesser.

I’m still not convinced that Mike doesn’t actually speak through his nostrils.

Frescas are terrible. I can see why they were driven to oblivion.

I saw the Ashton Kutcher vehicle, Guess Who with a white girl at an all black theater when I was 15. It was an intersting experience that I will never duplicate.

I have concrete jungle fever.

Well, that’s inaccurate. He would be pursuing and/or bedding a dark-skinned woman/women. Unless he peruses only dark-skinned women when it’s time to clean the pipes.

This sounds like a story that should be elaborated on.

Jungle Fever can also refer to maleria. If Ike has that then mosquitoes are carrying a lot more than the West Nile.

Still better than Derek Jeter’s crotch having Fungal Fever.

This should have been the Jungle Fever clip used in this post. Classic.

Not Stevie’s best work. He should be ashamed he had to record that.
May 24th, 2012 at 11:15 AM
Probably not in Staten Island.

Just saw the link where Bill Clinton was in Monaco for a fundraiser with celebs and he decided to get his pic taken with some porn stars.
Clinton’s in a Monte Carlo casino right now for a special “Nights in Monaco” gala event — and several celebrities are in attendance. . . including Diane Kruger, Joshua Jackson…and pron stars. The two porn stars on Bill’s arms are Tasha Reign (left) and Brooklyn Lee — AVN’s “Best New Starlet” in porn.
Bill never fails to disappoint for media fodder.

Oh, lord. It is horrible. I saw that movie back in the day. It was even more horrible.
Speaking of horrible… remember the cover of that one Blink 182 album with the porn star chick. Here’s what she looks like today…

And Timmay Tebow wanted a bunch of legit stage actresses to delete their twitter photos with him to protect his image.

Yep, I posted that yesterday in one of the threads about Janine Lindemuller.

That is what happens to ladies who spend years inhaling the booger sugar and getting made airtight by the fellas.

That’s Janine Lindemulder who was married to Jesse James I believe at one time. Hard times will sap the looks from a young women like that. Not that didn’t mind enjoy seeing her in her “career”, but damn, she looks like she’d been rode hard and put away wet.
May 24th, 2012 at 11:23 AM
How long ago did that album come out 15 yrs ago? So say she was 25 then that makes her 40 now. Not sure how surprising it is for her to look worse?
May 24th, 2012 at 11:27 AM
There are 40 year old women who look way better than her because they took way better care of themselves.

I Duckworth’d myself.

And because they don’t use meth.

I like my sweet 40-year olds to have sweet neck tats like that, also pretty sure that some prison gear she’s sporting…
