Wednesday links: David Perron is everywhere edition

Hmmm. David Perron as the face of the franchise. Interesting.

I’ve got to say…I wouldn’t have guessed it.

said that next wk 25th was at Hot Shots in Fenton. Glad I checked the linky.

I always thought it was Savoir Faire who was everywhere… wait, Savoir Faire is Quebecois, too.

Or does no one remember Savoir Faire from the Tennessee Tuxedo cartoons?

Pretty much no one outside of Arkansas has reported the fully Holly Gork story. Was wearing the hat (any hat, for that matter, though wearing the hat of a conference rival is that much more egregious) unprofessional? Sure, but even after Petrino’s comments (which were said in jest, by the way, which was obvious to anyone who actually watched the interview), she probably wouldn’t have been fired for that alone.

But when you looked at her Twitter account & Facebook page (both of which were public), they were full of comments to the effect of “Man, I really wish I was covering the Gators instead of the Razorbacks,” and “This job is such a chore…but it wouldn’t be if I were covering Florida! That would great!!!!123”

So, the way I see it, she wasn’t fired for wearing the hat. You make disparaging remarks about your job and how much you don’t want to do it on public online forums, you get axed. It happens every day. Wearing the hat was just further proof this woman was in no way a professional and didn’t even know how to act like one. (Her husband, also involved in sports media in Arkansas, got her the job in the first place. It was her first sports journalism gig). She’s also attention whoring this thing for all it’s worth.

But hey, don’t let me get in the way of your busted ass “Arkansas fans are a bunch of crazy hill folk” and “Bobby Petrino is the debbil” stories, even though Petrino had precisely 0% to do with her firing. And I apologize for interrupting your sports hack circle-jerk, as well.

(These comments are not in any way directed at you, joe.)

The THN “Five Players to Watch” article was pretty good, and—as a bonus—was complimentary toward TJ and the Blues, saying that they expect some serious progress from both.

@ Washoo- I thought that reporter made a pretty stupid mistake before I read your post, but now I’ve upgraded her to total dumbass.

Steve-O and Jason/Justin Blundetto are body doubles

Looks like a reverse Moe cut
