What? Sports! WHAT? SPORTS!

Your correspondent is not particularly a fan of sports, but he does date a young lady whose team ended up going through the baseball final and into the World Series, so he ended up watching a hell of a lot of sports related television in the past month. And this short video, produced by Chicago's Big Dog Eat Child comedy troupe, pretty much nails his impression of the commentary during shows surrounding said games.

Tankboy is reads this stuff?! I suppose I should then self-censor and not put anything up about watersports.

Tankboy

I love this entire comment string.

When you bring the DCist commentariat, you never know what you're gonna get.

this joke is stolen from 30 rock (see: 'SportsShouting')

I thought Tankboy was Aaron's new sports article alter ego.

It probably is...

Only at Chicago-themed key parties.

Side note: The scroll's kind of awesome.

Around 0:24 it reads "Lovie Smith's face found to be literally made of wood."

Around 0:27, "Jay Mariotti is a frickin' Hobbit."

1:02: "Brian Urlacher develops taste for human flesh."

not even remotely funny ... and HOW did i end up at chicagoist?

Dread_Pirate_Roberts

So is it true then? Is everything soooooooo much more remotely funny in New York? We keep hearing that.

eflash

Sorry, the two parts of my comment were unrelated. I'm sure there are many remotely funny things in Chicago...this is just not one of them.

BlueFairlane

Nice sunglasses, bro.

chuzzlewit

this is how you respond to someone's polite post?

BlueFairlane

What? I complimented his sunglesses.

I guess compliments are so much nicer in New York.

Dread_Pirate_Roberts

You, sir, are welcome to DCist anytime.

ex-14thandYou

indeed. I am liking this BlueFairlaine fellow. We need some new blood over on DCist from time to time.

chuzzlewit

did you guys see that awesome fuckin polish plane landing?!?

BlueFairlane

I see the same thing every weekend In Ukranian Village.

BlueFairlane

HA! Evil Spock is Tank's new nickname.

Instead of forcing all the istaverse drivel on everybody, they should just send it all to DC. This is entertaining.

twocee

Can we send Navin to them too?

threechordme

only if he brings a whale cake

Dread_Pirate_Roberts

Who the fuck is Tankboy? Oh wait, this is Chicagoist. WTF?!

threechordme

was gonna go on a rant about how that style of sports show owes its existence to dc sports writers and producers based out of DC but fuck it

noneedforaname

I know! I feel violated!

ex-14thandYou

WTF indeed. It's like I inadvertently stepped into another dimension where everything looks the same but is somehow...different.

insert obligatory DCist meme here
