I was a little dismayed today when I learned from the With Leather blog that TonyHomo.com was closing up shop.
I’ll miss the “insider” view of Really Drew Bledsoe, for example:
That reminds me. One final Homo story for the road:
As Homo sat by his locker, with this head in his hands shivering from sadness, tears rolling off of his elbows and onto his knees, I almost felt bad enough not to mess with him… But I couldn’t resist!
I walked up to him, put my hand on his shoulder and said “Hey Buddy. I know how you’re feeling. This is probably the low point in your life. You look around and you’re surrounded by a room full of people you’ve disappointed today. It’s tough to look any one of us in the eye and say “Thanks for practicing all year long and preparing, but it doesn’t matter because I couldn’t hold onto a football.” As an athlete there is nothing worse than letting your team down. It’s hard, I know. It’s really hard. But on the plus side I saved a lot of money on my car insurance by switching to Geiko. Also — Did you get my letter? Because I think I forgot to STAMP IT!”
He moved his foot as I went to stomp on it, but I think I got him pretty good otherwise.
Well, I also learned that Really Drew Bledsoe was actually part of Straight Cash Homey – A Funny Sports Blog and they are welcoming Tony Homo fans:
If you liked TonyHomo.com, odds are you’ll like the jokes we post here — or at least, we hope you do. Take a look around, we blog a lot, and we like sports as much as you do. We hope that with TonyHomo.com now over, you’ll get your sports comedy fix at StraightCashHomey.net.
I’ll have to start watching this one to see if the funniness continues…
[Update] I read the StraightCashHomey stuff for a few days. It wasn’t really all that funny. These guys are better when they do the more elaborate jokes.
