knickers in an Uproar Click back for yesterday�s cute video. I am so disappointed right now, I can't think straight. I have always loved Jerry O'Connell. I loved him in Sliders and again in Crossing Jordan But as much as it pains me to say it, "What an Asshole!!" I stole this without asking From the Associated Press:
O�Connell: Break up Boston�s sports monopoly
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) � Jerry O�Connell is sick of Boston and it�s not just because he�s a New Yorker.
The New England Patriots, who go into today�s game against the Giants with a per�fect record, are another example of Boston�s dominance in sports. The Red Sox are baseball�s World Series champs, the Celtics have the best record in bas�ketball, and the Bruins are one of the top teams in hock�ey.
�I�m sick of Boston winning so much. It�s like a monop�oly,� the actor told The Associated Press on Saturday as he partied with friends at Maxim magazine�s sprawling pre-Super Bowl party.
O�Connell, who stars in ABC�s comedy �Carpoolers,� jokingly called for some serious inter�vention if Boston�s teams monopolize all sports champi�onships.
�It looks like the Celtics are going to win the season as well,� O�Connell said. �If the Boston Bruins, the NHL team, wins, the federal gov�ernment has to break them up. They have to take a team away � they have to.�
Even though O�Connell�s team is the underdog, he thinks The Giants have a shot at busting up Boston�s winning streak to claim the championship title. How juvenile was that? And no, I don�t think it was a joke. I believe he was dead serious. Boston has a monopoly? Ha! So, by his theory, the fact that Red Sox won the World Series, The Patriots have done fantastic in the past few years, The Celtics and Bruins are pretty damn great teams is all a matter of demographics. By that theory also, if we take the Cubs and uproot the whole team and transplant them to Boston, they can break that old 62 year streak and finally make it to the world series, right? How very stupid. I then did a Google search on him and found him on youtube doing a parody (as it was called) on Tom Cruise. If you are interested, you can see it by doing a search for Jerry O�Connell at youtube. I won�t be linking to it or posting it. I love humor as well as the next guy. I think you all know that. If I had seen this done by a stand by comedian it would probably have made me laugh. Instead, it was done by, basically a co-worker. IMHO, it is in bad taste for one actor to blatantly trash another one in front of the camera. It was mean spirited and childish. So Mr. O�Connell, you have disappointed me today. After all this time, I am no longer a fan.
Later, Cosmic
