My taste are simple . I like $ 300 jeans and William Gaddis novels and the cuisine of Ferran Adria . But most of all , I like it when X - athlete get pull up inebriated and embarrass themselves in front of a national audience .
The latest victim : Rick Sutcliffe , 1979 Rookie of the Year and 1984 Cy Young Award winner . ( Since I do n’t know how to hyperlink yet , here ’s the audio : https://images.gaslampball.com/images/admin/sutcliffe.mp3 ) Anyway , both Rick and his beard ( http://www.shaveyourhead.com/2005/Wrigley05/612_sutcliffe.jpg ) were noticeably intoxicated at a late Padres plot , and hearing his sweet slurredness bring me back to one of my favorite days , not even three old age ago , when Joe Namath made the clumsiest sink at a adult female I ’ve ever seen . And on national TV no less . The telecasting is here ( http://thatvideosite.com/view/937.html ) . It takes a while for the video to buffer ( can a television buffer ? What is buffering ? I ’ve just write a edition of the parole " cushion " four time in 30 second and I ’m giggling . I ’m six year onetime . frankly . ) , so here ’s some transcript in the meantime :
Suzy Kolber ( ESPN sideline announcer ): Joe , it ’s been a tough time of year for Jets fan . What does it have in mind to you now that the team is struggling ?
Namath : I wanna kiss you now . I could n’t care less about the team struggling . What we have it away is we can improve . Chad Pennington , our signal caller , missed the first part of the time of year , and we struggle . We ’re looking to next time of year , we ’re looking to make a noise now , and … I wanna buss you !
Kolber : Thanks , Joe !
Namath : YEAH ! ! !
