Digger Phelps = A Wimpy Toolbag

by Nestor on Mar 1, 2009 9:53 AM PST Comment 29 comments

We already knew Digger is a wimp:

You can also call him an idiot.

What we didn't know was how much of a toolbag he really is:

There is not much else to say about Digger.

Thanks to tsunugundum for pointing us to that video.

Let's hope Digger keeps picking UCLA to lose in everyone of our game from here on out.

GO BRUINS.

Oh and every BNer reading this post who hates Digger

Please “buzz up” and spread it via facebook, digg etc. Here is a suggested tag line to buzz and spread this post:

Can you say ...

Madsen

At least he embarrassed himself after winning a championship. lol

Has Digger ever won anything except for making a name for himself by hating on UCLA?

Three MAJOR differences

(1) AGE. Madsen was in his 20s when he busted out with the constipated-Frankenstein routine. Digger is in his late 60s. Dignity is a VERY relative term depending on age.

(2) TO THE VICTOR, THE SPOILS. Madsen just won an NBA championship with the 2000 Lakers, so while the Mad Dog’s hyperactivity forever cast him as a dork of Potsie-like proportions — hey, dude got a ring. Said dude can therefore dance on stage with Shaq and Kobe and the blessed Laker Girls and have a vertical seizure at that time if he so chooses. Totally laughable, yet totally forgivable.

To paraphrase bluestreet, WTF has DIgger ever won?

(3) ICK FACTOR. Go to a family wedding, and you don’t mind seeing your grandpa or your codgerly old uncle getting down a little with the bridesmaids. Try a lame-ass moonwalk. Pull out the John Travolta pointing move. Do a ridiculous tango with the Maid of Honor who looks like Megan Fox’s twin sister. It’s ALL good. Let him have the cheap thrill.

But do you want to see grandpa FREAKING the bridesmaids? AW HELL, NO. That’s just WRONG.

Fast forward to DIGGER — thrusting and gyrating from a wide-legged stance with two college co-eds???

Altogether now — EEEEEWWWWWWWWWW…

Spot On

I was going to post the same thing but feared I may have misinterpreted the “dance” since I don’t. But, if he had pulled those moves near my daughter I would have kicked his head in.

Take it from a very immature Geezer, it is never appropriate for an old man to act like that around young women — especially those one does not know.

Then again

That was the first time probably someone actually wanted to dance with those Cal women.

Oh. My.

I am hereby changing my previous Bull Durham/ Bruins rant as follows:

I believe in weight training, cleaning the glass, the box-out, the big-man hedge on a ball-screen, the low-post double-team, hard-core screens, second shots, that the cheerleader-freaking moves of Digger Phelps are self-indulgent, ego-inflated crap. I believe old Digger will die alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Dick Vitale and the possession arrow. I believe in the time-out for defense, hitting the floor for a charge, watching for power rankings on St. Patrick’s Day rather than Christmas Eve, and I believe in long, slow, hard, grinding games that piss off an opponent for three hundred sixty-five days.

Hmm

ESPN brought us Digger…but they also brought us Erin Andrews.

They also bring

Steve Lavin.

Who is this guy you keep talking about, N?

I know we went a long time without a coach before Coach Howland showed up, but who is this Steve someone you keep bringing up? Certainly no sports network would allow a totally disgraced embarrassment to be a commentator about a sport he knows nothing about. Bad coaches get gigs after they’re fired, of course, but someone who is an utter disgrace? I don’t remember Richard T. Nixon, as Archie Bunker used to call him, getting a lot of political commentary jobs.

This douchebag cannot be anyone who ever had anything to do with the UCLA basketball program. So who is he?

Nixon missed out

on the cable-news and talk-radio revolution. He would have multiple offers today. And, shouldn’t he be referred to as GFP (Gerald Ford’s Predecessor)?

That was a good one, TfX

What a doof

this guy is a tool and that may be an understatement. Instead of prancing around, may be he could have done some analysis and picked the correct winner of the game.

His life does run in parallel: he coached at a B team bball school and doof boy could only get a dance with the B team girls – the A team Bruin cheerleaders would turn his lame ass away – Bruin fans already call him a WIMP (and that is being PC).

So is Digger his real name, or just a nickname stemming from his favorite activity (it may be a toss up between digging his nose or his ass – or may be both with one hand up each). What a fool, I almost feel sorry for the guy.
