AND OTHER STUFF Fri, 04 Jul 2008 15:30:05 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Alan Tucker http://www.ohiomm.com/blogs/ledger/2007/05/16/an-inside-look-at-espn/#comment-100 Alan Tucker Thu, 17 May 2007 03:40:27 +0000 http://www.ohiomm.com/blogs/ledger/?p=72#comment-100 I'd like to see Ombudsman "Ombuds" McKenzie brought back as the Cavs mascot. He brought a ton of women to the games, it made Richfield a much better place. Now compare and contrast Ombuds with that flea-infested Moondog. Not a woman to be found anywhere near that animal. Either Moondog is butt-ugly, or, worst-case scenario, he's gay. Speaking of which, I can't wait until ESPN starts to really target the gay market and Disney invests in the Logo TV channel. The readers look forward to those future Logo links, Ron. I'd like to see Ombudsman "Ombuds" McKenzie brought back as the Cavs mascot.

Intriguing job title. I've owed a student loan for nearly 30 years, is she the person with whom I'll need to discuss my repayment options? Hey, maybe SportsCenter will begin a new segment entitled, "The Ombudsman Hot Seat, hosted by Brian Windhorst." The old Budweiser Hot Seat just doesn't have the attitude it used to have.

Like O.J. actually believing he didn't do it. The producers don't have marching orders? Please. Who are they kidding? I mean, other than themselves. When can we look forward to reading your Balanced Ledger Deportes? Or maybe the Coors Six-Pack of Terry Pluto's Top Sins of the Week?
