I find Brian BORING and SELF ABSORBED and not too bright. This AM he and Tiki Barber blathered on about their clothes for the better part of an hour. And it was Brian who brought it up! It's all too much at 5 AM.
I don't dislike him. I'm sure that he is a fine fellow and that his wife and children love him. I just think that he is the weakest member of the team.
Lauren challenged him for that spot this AM, however, when she referred to a 175 year old tortoise as the "oldest mammal on earth." Do these people write their own lines? I headed for the shower at that point!
Then they went outside with some country music stars and started throwing the football around. Brian was totally outclassed by everybody. Steve Doocy was outstanding, for instance. And the CM stars held their own against Tiki Barber. But Brian was blocked at every move.
IMHO, the "sports guy" shouldn't get himself into situations where he is outclassed in sports by the "weather guy". It's embarrassing.
Regarding the stupidity on all the other stations: that is why I don't watch them.
In the real world, nobody really cares about people calling tortoises mammals. It just doesn’t ever happen. And who could possibly dislike Lauren?
The meaning of the statements “I don't dislike him” and “I’m sure that he is a fine fellow” are directly contradicted by the tone underlying the following language: “BORING,” “SELF ABSORBED,” “not too bright,” “totally outclassed by everybody,” “blocked at every move,” “outclassed in sports by the weather guy,” “embarrassing.”
In the use of language our intentions are often more clearly illustrated by our tone than by overt statements.
Sometimes it’s hard to tell. But when tone and overt statements are in direct opposition, we can be certain that the speaker is not being straightforward about his intentions.
Liberals do this a lot. I would not want to be so cruel as to accuse a person of being a liberal unless I were absolutely sure. Instead, I’ll just say take this as a lesson on how to cleanse oneself of latent liberal tendencies.
