Jeff Pearlman Continues Bringing the Heat
The author of the engrossing new Cowboys book Boys Will Be Boys was interviewed by Gelf Magazine recently. Skip Bayless, watch your dome:
Also, since the topic is Skip, I have nothing personal against the man. But I was writing a book about the ’90s Cowboys, and his “outing” of Troy Aikman (if one can out a straight person) was liquid sinister crap. It was wrong on 8,000 levels, and—in that context—he deserved to be called out. I still don’t think he’s ever apologized/admitted he was wrong. Weird.

Gelf? Really? REALLY?
I know what a MILF is, and DILF, and a GILF, but what’s a GELF?
E = Everybody?
Wait, isn’t GELF is the one that decorated Santa’s workshop?
*sigh*
isMaybe Gelf is published by the Gelflings from The Dark Crystal.
Jay and Bethany picqued my curiosity about what a Gelf was, so I went to the source:
“Why are you called “Gelf”?
It was our first idea, and we haven’t had any better ones. You’ll remember it, won’t you? [Gelf gelf Gelf.] Which is the point, after all. The New Republic is neither new nor a republic. And The Nation hardly represents the Nation, the Wall Street Journal is largely a journal not of Wall Street, but of other stuff. We hear The Economist isn’t actually about Economics. [Gelf gelf Gelf GELF.] And the New York Review of Books has all these essays that aren’t about books at all. Stop bugging us. We have no good answers, only longish ones. More examples of titular mismatches appreciated. [Gelf gelf Gelf GELF. Gelf!] Where are all the stones rolling to anyway?”

Huh. I didn’t really see this one coming.
Ron Burgundy: Boy, that escalated quickly… I mean, that really got out of hand fast.
Champ Kind: It jumped up a notch.
Ron Burgundy: It did, didn’t it?
Zac, that is what gshe gsaid.
Anyone ever seen Skip with a woman?
Liquid Sinister would be a good band name. Their debut could be Wrong on 8,000 Levels.
Of course, you already knew that.
Aslo, it could be on Gelfen Records.
And that, sir, is all.
Also
gelf, son. get on its level.
The difficult third album by Liquid Sinister:
The “Outing” of Troy Aikman
And Liquid Sinister’s throwaway, contract-fulfilling fourth album: “Skip Bayless, Read Something Else”.
Rock me.
I have always thought Aikmans kids resemble Eric Williams.
I thought Nancy was the resident expert on all things Skip.
And, for the Liquid Sinister completist: Nothing Personal Against the Man: Demos, Outtakes and Rarities
