Hi Scott-
Long time fan of your blog. A few years ago my friend sent me an old issue of the WWF Magazine simply for this Jake "The Snake" Roberts Public Service Announcement. Thought you would enjoy it if you haven't seen it.
Yup, have seen it, still great.
That picture has been floating around the interwebs for what seems like an eternity now, and it is still fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI want one of Dusty Rhodes that says, "Just Say No to Hamburgers"
Quit driving up the price, kids!
ReplyDelete...so there will be more left for me.
ReplyDeleteI want one of Randy Orton telling kids to say no to cigarettes given: 1) that youtube video where he bums not one, but TWO smokes from a guy outside an arena, and 2) my own friends and I had a smoke with him on George Street after the 5/12/07 show in St. John's.
ReplyDeleteThis actually makes me like orton more! Smokers of the world unite!
ReplyDeleteThat's so great. Never seen this
ReplyDeleteWell if no one's gonna post the Warrior's anti-smoking PSA, I guess I will: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebN17xoJbLg
ReplyDeleteYou know I have to downvote here right?
ReplyDeleteThis is phenomenal. Next is a HHH anti growth hormone PSA?
ReplyDeleteSeriously? Are you like 15 or something?
ReplyDelete"Jake, we can't do any drugs because you already did 'em all! We're gonna have to wait until you die and smoke your ashes!"
ReplyDelete(Paraphrased for effect)
I wish I was. By the time I was 15 Jake was already filming beyond the mat smoking crack on camera.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I have an old WWF magazine somewhere with this in it.
ReplyDeleteYou want kids to say No, put a pic of Jake from the Heroes Of Wrestling PPV up.....
ReplyDeleteI thought that "1" was a stick figure cigarette and the upside down "^" was a V which stood for very cool?
ReplyDeleteStay off drugs, or Jim Neidhart will hit you with a double chair?
ReplyDeleteThread jack: everyone should check out the shoemaker article on grantland where he discusses the history of Indy wrestling and interviews Chris hero. Its great

Also for anyone with NBA league pass tommy heinson is going off on a bizaare rant about tanking and guys playing for stats during this bucks vs Celtics game
Just Say No to Drugs says the sweaty guy with the snake wrapped around him.
ReplyDeleteThe celts have become one of my go to league pass teams strictly for heinson. I don't know if I like or hate him yet but he's always entertaining at least.
ReplyDeleteOh, sweet irony...
ReplyDeleteChrist, ellsbury got 153 over 7 years?
ReplyDeletePretty sure if you combined what Jake did with the amount consumed by Keith Richards...you'd have a fuckload of narcotics.
ReplyDeleteI generally enjoy Shoemaker's stuff, but I am finding his book a big of a slog. It just isn't holding my interest for some reason. I keep trying to get through it, but end up going back to other things (currently Assassination Vacation by Sarah Vowell and A History of the World in Six Glasses by Tom Standage. The latter is really interesting. It's about he history and socio-political effects of wine, beer, spirits, tea, coffee, and soda. A very unique approach to history.)
ReplyDeleteEllsbury 2 nyy luz
ReplyDeleteHow about Vince McMahon telling kids not to be bullies?
ReplyDeleteJacked a huge red Sox star so that's got to be worth-ssomething
ReplyDeleteHa. Yea. That's probably a 10 on the hypocritical scale also
ReplyDeleteOn another sports note this is fascinating

Aw is the best NBA reporter in the world IMO and he hit another home run. Man the nets are fucked
Kidds one of the greatest of the greatest but this coaching thing is a train wreck
ReplyDeleteYea, this was real good. I remember the narrative before the season started was that Frank would essentially be doing all the coaching behind the scenes while Kidd figured shit out. Guess that didn't work out to well. Nets are a fucking mess. Wonder in Prokhorov would make a move
ReplyDelete"Just Say No to the Letter S"
ReplyDeleteThey did, considering he's injury-prone and seven years is a ridiculous length for a speed guy when they're paying him through age 37.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping this doesn't screw up re-signing Cano.
Why? They've got a-rod locked up for a few more years!!!!
ReplyDelete(I actually love a-rod for the record)
There are maybe 5-7 guys in MLB I'd give a 7 year big money contract to. Can isn't even close to that group imo.
ReplyDeleteI personally have no problems with A-Rod and am on his side in the battle with MLB, but he's gonna be suspended for something, be it 50, 100 or a full season. The question is whether the Yankees buy out his contract at the end of the suspension, just to get rid of him.
ReplyDeleteI'd be a lot more comfortable giving him a 4-5 year deal, with some option years, because the end of a 7-year contract is going to be ugly no matter what. I don't know why anyone gives out a 7-year deal, especially the Yankees, who have way too many long-term deals that are biting them in the ass.
ReplyDeleteYanks print money so they're kinda an outlier but I'm with you...why don't big market baseball teams give out shorter contracts with higher yearly salaries? You avoid paying the back end deals on a contract, and the athlete gets out of his deal earlier so he can sign another deal...even if the athlete is on the decline, they'd collectively make more with a shorter/higher annual salary then another short term deal then just 1 long term deal.
ReplyDeleteYou wanna drink at 21? I'll drink at 22!
ReplyDeleteFrank has the best job in the NBA to collect $1 million filling out small reports. I questioned the Nets firing PJ at the end of last season. I know PJ has never really set the world on fire as a head coach outside of his run at Seton Hall at the end of the 1980s (when he should've won a national title if not for some phantom foul call in the national title game against Michigan), but he wasn't awful managing that team.
ReplyDeleteHow about a picture of Triple H, holding a laptop, pointing at it and laughing:
ReplyDelete"Just say NO!...to the internet geeks!"
I think those two guys are going to outlive us all.
ReplyDeleteThese PSA's have nothing on the ones they aired on the Coliseum Video releases. You have the Rockers telling kids not to do drugs and the Ultimate Warrior just ripping up packages of cigarettes.
ReplyDeleteHogan did a few of the cigarette tearing ads too I believe for CHV.
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't seen it, look up Heinsohn on Youtube and watch the SportsCenter recap of his epic meltdown from a C's-Suns game back in 2002. Well worth the watch, and he actually chased the refs off the court after the game.
ReplyDeleteI was watching that game live at the time, and the thing I remember most is that at one point in the game, Tommy was so irate he didn't say a single word for over 5 minutes. I actually thought he took off his headseat and left.
I think that, medically speaking, once you do a certain amount, you're essentially preserving yourself. I can say this because I have absolutely no medical experience and next to no experience with drugs.
ReplyDeleteIm very happy the Celtics were able to get rid of thier elderly and snatch a group of first round picks (including this years) from them. It appears the Nets may somehow be a better pick than the Cs
ReplyDeletedid it involve the woman ref Violet? He has always hated her soooo much. Tommy has really gotten unlistenable at times for me over the years. At least Gorman is always very good and can sometime convince Tommy that there was indeed an infraction against the Celtics that was called correctly.
ReplyDeleteNo, but he hated Violet Palmer, too. His anger was directed at Kenny Mauer in this particular game.
ReplyDeleteYeah Tommy is a bit much in his homer-ism, and he's usually worse about it the worse the team is. He was much more realistic and tougher on them when they were good 5 years ago.
Jake just wanted YOU to say no to drugs. He was having no part of that tomfoolery, though.
ReplyDeleteMore for him that way.
