Denis Leary on Mel Gibson...thank you sj.com and youtube

Re: I know it's a long shot, but....

Who was the gravel-voiced guy who was nailing Gibson along with him? Another guest in the booth? Or one of the Sox announcers?

 

Re: I know it's a long shot, but....

Can't remember the guy's name but he's been in a couple shows with Leary.

 

Re: I know it's a long shot, but....

yeah, he's on "rescue me." 8) 8) 8)

 

Re: I know it's a long shot, but....

Lenny Clarke... another comedian.

Thank you dog and poindexter. I can't listen until I get home, but I knew my fell SportsJournalists.commers would come through on this one.

shockey, good idea... I'll change it once I figure out how....

 

Re: I know it's a long shot, but....

great job, out of place. this should take off now, given the leary-clarke-"rescue me" fans here. 8) 8) 8)

 

Wow. That really took off.

It would be really funny if Youkilis wasn't Jewish.

 

The initial joke was Youkilis being called the "Greek God of Walks" in Moneyball. He's not Greek, just happens to be Jewish.

 

I saw it live and laughed my ass off.

And I've listened to it a few times since and haven't been able to pick out an f-bomb.

These two do this every year. Best inning of Red Sox baseball on NESN the entire season.

Leary does a lot of work for charity and I don't think he gets enough credit for that.

 

I mentioned this elsewhere but Youkilis is Jewish and he plays baseball. That means he's in baseball-reference.com's database. They categorize players based upon the first 5 letter of their last name and the first two of their first. If there are more than one match they add an 01, 02, 03 etc.

Kevin Youkilis' entry in baseball-reference.com is truly unfortunate for a Jewish player

Friggin' brilliant! Thanks for sharing that.
