Actual Meaning Translator: What Packers Fans Hear Edition

Usually, I use the Actual Meaning Translator to find out what athletes really mean. Today, things will be done a little differently. Instead of finding out what Brett Favre meant in his recent quotes, we’ll find out what the Green Bay Packers fans heard.
“It would be hard to pass up, I guess,” he told the […]

Actual Meaning Translator: The Pete Carroll Sources Edition

Pete Carroll is expected to be offered the positions of Falcons head coach, general manager, and quarterback.
Because USC terrifies me, I was excited to hear that Pete Carroll may be heading to Atlanta. But I remained suspicious; I remained wary. Why would Pete Carroll leave the comfort of USC to go to a team that […]

Actual Meaning Translator: Phil Jackson Edition

A couple days ago, Phil Jackson apparently offended gays and definitely offended humorists when he made a patently unfunny and stale joke about Brokeback Mountain and the Lakers’ penetrating style of play. (Although, this does remind me of the greatest sign in sporting events history. It may have never actually existed, but “Kobe Forces Penetration […]

Actual Meaning Translator: The Don Shula “Oh Crap, I Shouldn’t Have Done That” Edition

Don Shula probably pulled a hammy backtracking from his asterisk statement. Actually, he probably pulled a hammy making the statement in the first place. Old people get hurt really easily.
“If they run the table, and they win all the games, then they are doing it within the rules of the National Football League,” Shula […]

Actual Meaning Translator: Isiah Thomas Edition

Al Sharpton wants Isiah Thomas to apologize to women. Isiah Thomas doesn’t want to apologize to women. This, apparently, is his reasoning.
“You can’t say that. You can say what you didn’t say because if you say what you didn’t say, than y’all print what is said. That’s how you got me on the Bird […]

Actual Meaning Translator: Lloyd Carr Edition

A Lloyd Carr press conference is usually filled with obfuscation and contempt. This of course is the man who once asked a sideline reporter “What kind of stupid question is that?” No one questions the wisdom of Lloyd Carr! But then you lose to Appalachian State, and the dynamic changes a bit. You have to […]

Actual Meaning Translator: NBA Refs Union

In response to reports that Sopranos character Tim Donaghy will name 20 gambling colleagues, the NBA referees union has released this statement.
“This incident is an isolated incident and our folks are of the highest integrity and character and we’re open to sitting down with the NBA to discuss measures that help make sure that the […]

Actual Meaning Translator: Johan Santana Edition

The Twins are only six games out in the uber-competitive AL Central. They’re only five back in the Wild Card. Certainly, they were within striking distance — or within striking distance of striking distance. A “win-now” trade wouldn’t have been unexpected, but they honestly aren’t in a position to make a run at the Tigers […]

Actual Meaning Translator: Pacman’s Agent Edition

With recent events, Pacman Jones is no longer the poster boy for misbehavior in the NFL. That dubious title now belongs to Mr. Mexico. Pacman now makes it rain in relative anonymity. And so, it went slightly unnoticed that Jones is preparing for training camps as if he’ll be participating. (Not just because of Vick, […]

Actual Meaning Translator: Lance Armstrong Edition

I’m not sure what Lance Armstrong does anymore. He doesn’t compete. I haven’t even seen him conspicuously hanging out with Matthew McConaughey recently. He probably just gets paid an exorbitant amount of money to tell people his inspiring story that they’ve heard a billion times. Lance Armstrong is living the life. And good for him. […]
