Anyone else seen that segment on "Sports Center"? It is quite possibly one of the dumbest things they've ever aired, and this comes about two weeks after that ridiculous Tony Sparrano skit. ESPN needs to be reminded that a) we don't want GD Tom Brady shoved down our throats and b) they are not SNL.

I seen Barry Williams and figured they were trying to be clever (hahaha, Tom Brady, Brady Bunch, get it?!) and wondered if I was in 2001. It wasn't funny six years ago and it's less funny now.

Ok, Snayke. I promise not to bust your balls anymore today.... but "I seen"? "I seen Barry Williams"?! What the F is that all about? Do they no longer teach tenses in school?
And WCF is right, SC is horrible... I really have no idea why people watch it anymore.

I'm really not a grammer freak guy (lord knows I twist the English language enough)... but man, "I seen" just sounds so bad. A lot of slang and local dialect has its own charm and quality, and I actually enjoy hearing some of it, but mistakes in verb tense just sound so harsh. "I seen" "He done" "We gone" - there's no charm there. At least not IMO.

On this subject, the Laf. Square e-group has been buzzing lately about a couple of crazy panhandlers that have been seen in the neighborhood. This morning, I saw this gem of a note.
It isn't the act of panhandling that is so aggravating - it is the insult to
my intelligence. These people expect me to believe the same story a couple
of times a week and then act dismissively or worse, insulting, when I point
out that they tried the same scam on me the very day before!
It is unfortunately not restricted to panhandlers only, but as I have been
finding out, it has extended to carpenters, plumbers and contractors in
general. The level of education seems to play a rather great part in this as
well, especially when the errors of the person is being pointed out.
Apologies if this is Secret Weapon I'm making fun of.

So you must not be a fan of the Hawk's "He gone" call (not that I know anyone who is).
