John McClain Was Asleep On Air With Midday 180 in Nashville
John McClain was on the phone waiting to appear on Midday 180 in Nashville for his weekly segment. When the hosts went to him on air, all they got was silence, then some snoring. Here’s the audio. They then went on for about seven minutes waiting for McClain to wake up. He kept sleeping. According to Clay Travis, McClain, the long time Houston Chronicle football writer, admitted that he was up late last night and did fall asleep.
I won’t tell you how many times I have fallen asleep working on a post. (Keep all comments on how many times you have fallen asleep reading them to yourselves, please).

I plan on sleeping instead of watching the next movie featuring John McClane

not shocking. mcclane has sucked for years.
all he does is ask questions- do you think the texans are good? should the texans wear game day read? who are the texans? did the texans make fun of my penis?
butthole.

You have me at a loss. You know my name but who are you? Just another American who saw too many movies as a child? Another orphan of a bankrupt culture who thinks he’s John Wayne?

Yeah he is pretty terrible. And arrogant. Bit of a name dropper, too. Also looks like a walrus.

You could be a Browns fan describing Mike Holmgren with this description.

But when will he mud wrestle Ray Ratto?

This guy looks like he can sleep standing up.

What if it’s a really sweet zinger, though?

You’d like that as a fellow fatty.

You say your name was Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzeus?
January 15th, 2013 at 4:59 PM
That should be known as a Francesa, no?

He was at his worse during the whole “Should the Texans take Reggie Bush or Vince Young” draft year. Every time the Texans sent out indications that they were still thinking of taking Bush (at least of course until they settled on Mario Williams) McClain would write a new column talking about how this new piece of information was only further evidence that the Texans were in fact still taking Vince Young.

Now I have a Hostess snack. Ho-Ho-Hos

McClain is an assclown of the utmost degree. He was on a local radio show recently to talk about the Texans, instead he brushed off all football questions by basically saying the Texans suck, so why talk about them, then used the air time to promote a movie he is in with Paris Hilton. No lie. I forget the name of the movie but it takes place during Spring Break.

The Walrus goes to Arby’s- The spring break misadventures of a fat assplug and a droopy meat curtain whore!

“at his worse”? Great grammar jack wagon.
January 15th, 2013 at 5:28 PM
He’s in Springbreakers.
January 15th, 2013 at 5:37 PM
chins ahoy!
January 15th, 2013 at 5:38 PM
I laughed, Spencer.
January 15th, 2013 at 5:46 PM
Ratto is perfectly disgruntled for his appearance. Kills me.

You may remember McClain from the Longest Yard remake, or the Dennis Quaid becomes a pitcher movie (I don’t remember the name).
If you don’t, he’ll be sure to remind you of it.
