Sifting Through the Clarett Wreckage


Kissing Suzy Kolber is not a website for Type A individuals. If you're reading this, you're probably lazy. It's okay: we are, too. Feels pretty fucking good most days.

Ooh, but then something like the Maurice Clarett story goes down, and you really want to read that Deadspin thread, but there are already 100 comments within half an hour of it getting posted, and as of this [updated] writing it stands at 208 comments and counting. That's more than anyone should have to sift through.

So here it is. Here is the Cliffs Notes version of the thread. I took the liberty of adding a few links so you can get the full picture more easily, and I even included two of my own comments, because EVERYTHING I SAY IS IMPORTANT!

Roy Keane: Guns in the trunk...bulletproof vest...the dude's unemployed...maybe he was on his way to Columbine High for a job interview?
Roy Keane: Too soon?
Scott Senay: Didn't the diagram yesterday show the entire body can be used for a taser? Now all you need is a vest? Was he wearing full body armor?
Captain Caveman: Yikes... I haven't seen a mugshot that bad since Yasmine Bleeth.
Sh!tShow: Clarett, Cooper.... man, people in Ohio can't keep their weapons concealed.
Barry Lutz: You hate to see something like this happen to such a good kid.
rsr26: "after he was placed in the paddy wagon, he was still kicking at the doors..." Paddy wagon?! What did Boss Tweed have to say about all this?
Captain Caveman: See, a lot of people might think four guns is too many. I'd say it's not enough, as long as Clarett was on his way to help Morpheus escape.
Rockin Joe Stalin: Well, at least this opens Mo up to try out for running back at State Penn.
Get Him A Body Bag, Yeah!: That prison jumper looks pretty worn in. I wonder if it has Clarett's name and number on the back of it.
Spanish Necktie: What the hell are you doing with a gun and a hatchet? What, in case somebody steps to you Snoop Dogg?
Big Daddy Drew: You know who I blame for this? The Jews.
Big Daddy Drew: Look out for Maurice and the rest of the gang this fall on ESPN Sunday NFL Countdown!
AcilletaM: BDD, more like ESPN Sunday NFL Lockdown
Chowday: "Ohhhh license and registration....I thought you said handle of vodka and hatchet...I was way off"
Hit Bull Win Steak: he didnt even refer to any of the police as "sugar tits?" What kind of arrest is that? Clarett disappoints once again.
WiserTime: Grey Goose? That guy has issues.
William: Clarett's entrance music for the WWE could be "I Shot the Sheriff, Then Got Tased By The Deputy."
Fearson: How the hell can this man afford Grey Goose?
The Fan's Attic: Fearson, with 4 loaded weapons, a bulletproof vest, and a hatchet he could probably "afford" a lot of stuff.
flubby: Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

UPDATE: Photoshop genius twoeightnine has drawn our attention to this little bit of brilliance, which pretty much says everything:

(Yes, this is a pretty fucking lazy post in its own right. What can I say -- I was inspired by Simmons's column today. And in our defense, we at KSK Headquarters are extremely busy hammering out the details of our Fantasy Funny League. More on that soon.)

This morning was one of those classic Deadspin commenting events and I'm pretty pissed I missed it.

flubby said...

Who gave Mo that shiner-- Dee-Bo?

I razy american blogger.

I don't know if this was in the Deadspin megathread, but, according to the WashPo, MoMo's lawyer is named "Nick Mango." I believe he's with the prestigious Mango, Banana, Guava L.L.P.

RadamR said...

It's in Nick Mango's hands now friend. Let us pray he is as incompetent as his fruity name would suggest.

I am very saddened to hear that Deadspin is blocked as "pornography." My father would be very proud, however.

Goddammit - I'm away from the internets for a fucking day and this breaks out?! I have the worst luck ever.
And yes, I am lazy as fuck and am reading/posting here instead of slogging through all that cleverness at deadspin.

Unsilent Majority said...

i'd be willing to wager that Maurice was getting ready to go out on a robbery. based on his level of preparedness (and all my knowldege of cbus) i'd say coke dealer or bookie.
either that or he is delusional

keep it in your pants leitch
