   Oh God, there’s some great lines in that Elia rant. “They can kiss my ass, right downtown, and PRINT IT!”

     Yeah, that’s the first one I always think of too.

   I’ve used pieces of the rant as a ringtone. It’s pretty fantastic. Lee’s angry speech ranks up there with Clark Griswold’s in “Christmas Vacation”.

   I don’t know how Elia stacks up at Kicking the Hat (Lou appears to hit each of his attempts with a Jedi-like leg control) but I don’t know how Lou could have dropped more ‘fu#$s’ while he chatted with the umpires. The radio interview was quite the stream of consciousness, wasn’t it?

   OK – ‘fess up – are any of the mighty 3,000 cocksuckers that he mentioned here on HJE? Or maybe you know someone who was at the game…

   Thanks for posting both of those – they’re grrrrreat.

   Despite my desires to ignore the whole thing

   Embrace it, Kerm.

   I’d kind of like to see Lou go an a similar tirade against all the Chads and Trixies, the It’s Gonna Happen guy, and every douche bag frat tard on a cell phone waving to his friends on the teevee

   Elia, because he pronounces it “criterier” and misuses “negate.” And because of the oft cited phrase “this is a real disheartening situation.”

   Both of them are legendary. I had to vote for Lou’s explosion, though, because it turned the 2007 entire season around. And kicking dirt is hilarious.
