Fun facts:

Jerry Remy is rumored to have had one of the largest porn video collections in the major leagues toward the end of his playing days.

I used to tend bar in Boston, and Denis Leary once drank 10 Heinikens during a dinner with three other people (he kept coming to the bar for a cigarette and pounding one while he was there so they wouldn't know how much he was drinking). This was about 10 years ago.

NESN is great for the Sox games but sucks at all other times. One of the great wastes of a major local market cable property is their inability to get any decent programming on the air beyond the games.

Same here postman. And I'm jewish. I think we like to mention it first, cause we're proud of it. And because most of us came from germany or russia or poland. And those are not countries to be proud of.

David Cross has the best bit about being jewish. Even though he's an atheist and doesn't believe in God he's still considered jewish because his mom is jewish. "Let me ask you something. Was your mother's vagina jewish??? Then you're jewish!"

the best part was that they were in the booth the inning before and were ho-hum and they were all set to leave when the announcers asked them to stay one more inning and they agreed....then at the end of that inning it was as if the producers were in the Sox announcers ears saying 'get them the hell out of there, NOW!' because at the end of the inning it was a very quick 'nice seeing ya'

Lemurs — Wed, 16 Aug 2006 12:44:52 EDT

Fan's Attic: Hence "most" and not "all". Interestingly enough, the same concepts mean that most Jews are related to converts somewhere in their past as well.

Judaism stradles a line somewhere between religion, race, and nation. It's not a simple task to grasp all the specifics, so it boils down to people refering to Jews as Jews for simplicity's sake.

Lemurs

The Fan’s Attic — Wed, 16 Aug 2006 12:25:46 EDT

Lemurs: what about converts? and, if you're an adherent to a theory of evolution then couldn't a lot of non-Jewish people probably trace their ancestors back to that region of the world?

anyway, this stuff is too heady for me. everyone should just read "Who is a Jew?" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_is_a_Jew%3F

Lemurs — Wed, 16 Aug 2006 12:11:50 EDT

After you've been kicked out of most of the countries of the world, you tend to not want to identify with any of them, so most Jews will say they're a Jew first, and then say where their ancestors came from.

BTW, geneology research shows that there is a tremendous amount of homogeneity among Jews. As crazy as it might sound, most Jews in the world could trace some part of their ancestry back to ancient Israel...so it's not as crazy as "I'm not Italian, I'm Christian" might make it seem.

*******
Reminds me of a true story one of my friends(a paisan) tells of bringing his Jewish friend to a mob wedding when they were teenagers.

After the ceremony the priest apparently asked the friend (who probably fumbled a bit during the communion part) "Are you Catholic?" and the friend answers "No, I'm Italian."

one of those is different.

do jewish people EVER say "i'm (country name)-ian"? or is it just "i'm jewish"?

supermike

Denis Leary Tells Mel Gibson To Shove It

Wingman — Wed, 16 Aug 2006 11:42:55 EDT

Supermike, fear not my cross bred roots will be able to answer that questions. Jews identity is different than a European identitiy. Due to all the persecution and forced mobility throughout history, Jews never had one place of origin. Therefore, they refer to themselves in a common bond of religion rather than geographic location.

This is very similar to the phenominom of Muslim culture and why different sects of Islam fight with each other. Their common bond is not in geographic location but again in religious ideology.

When viewing this argument from an anglican pespective it doesn't make alot of sense. But from a historical perspective it makes sense because of the forced mobility of both religions. This is why Jewishness became a seemingly geographic identifier.

Nice sentence structure I constructed there.

You get the point, though. Some Jews are 'cultural' or 'ethnic' Jews. Religion doesn't come into it for them.

I wonder if Leary changes the words to "Asshole" to include Ted Williams being frozen?

Clarke is famously on the wagon...but Leary was there pimping his benefits for the firemen so it's possible he was enjoying the bud lights.

They did this in 2004 (when Clarke went on an infamous rant about our team being 'hairballs') to much the same results.

Man, if only they could make Ben Affleck go away.

And, Bowden, my first reaction was also "how do you, as a Sox fan, NOT know Youk is Jewish?".

I love the very end, how after a 3-and-a-half minute rant, Leary just quietly signs off with, "Hope we didn't get you in trouble." Nice save.

Hahaha. The pause where it's all quiet, and no one knows what to say is great. And then Leary goes right back into it.

I heard that, after the broadcast, Leary raped Jerry Remy and Remy totally got into it halfway through.

I love just 15 seconds in...what is that kid, Greek, Irish...Jewish?

Apparently, my Eastern European roots are overshadowed by my having a Bar Mitzvah.

Made me laugh pretty hard, though.

This is all great, but I have one issue. Isn't the fact that Youks is Jewish fairly common knowledge, especially among Red Sox fans?

If I was a Boston fan, I'd be circulating a petition voting for more Denis Leary and less Ben Affleck... actually, I think that applies to non-Boston Fans too.

Who was most drunk: Leary, Clarke, or Remy?

Very funny stuff, BTW. And good pickoff move from the Big Shillbowski as well.
