FCC fines NBC a record $250,000 for on-air fellatio of Notre Dame
SAN ANTONIO, TX - The Federal Communications Commission issued a record quarter million dollar fine to NBC for “egregious and graphic oral servicing of the University of Notre Dame” during a live telecast of the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, a prestigious high school all-star game which featured seventy-eight of the nation’s best prep school players. The FCC also recommended recruiting analyst Tom Lemming be waterboarded.
“Preferably with drain water from [Tennessee coach Phil] Fulmer’s shower, but we are in consultation,” FCC chairman Kevin Martin said. “Phil has given his full support. He’s promised that if we need him to, he’d use gravy instead of soap. He actually seemed kind of eager.”

Lemming, above, pleads for more Fighting Irish phallus
Notre Dame has an exclusive television contract with NBC, giving millions of viewers across the country the ability to tune in to Saturday afternoon games featuring the nation’s greatest football program in the history of the nation and football programs. This is the first time the network has been fined for bobbing on the Catholic institution’s knob during a broadcast, though.
The FCC objected to NBC’s handling of the Army All-American Bowl, particularly the following points:
- pre-game show actually just a DVD copy of Echoes of Glory: The History of Notre Dame Football played on loop
- highly touted Fighting Irish quarterback recruit Jimmy Clausen given veto power over any interceptions thrown
- creative editing which replaced footage of great performances from recruits like USC-bound Chris Galippo and Michigan recruit Ryan Mallett with a montage of Clausen eating Cheerios
- Lemming’s third quarter sacrifice of seven goats to Moloch, the bull headed pagan deity of the Levant and one of the fallen angels under Lucifer, chief adversary of the Judeo-Christian God
- a twelve minute long half time piece on Clausen’s struggle with hair gel addiction
- digital manipulation of mid-game verbal commitments, allowing Notre Dame a record thirty-seven recruits for the 2007 season
- sixteen consecutive minutes of close up footage of Clausen’s right arm
- subliminal messages found to contain slides stating: “We lost only because we’re academically better than you.”
NBC sports chairman Dick Ebersol apologized for the often graphic smoking of Notre Dame’s pole, though he attempted to mollify officials by noting that, ironically, Notre Dame is French for “Our Lady”.
“So, heh, it’s like NBC was smoking Our Lady’s pole. Which is funny, right?” Ebersol said, gingerly pulling at his collar.
“I am so, so sorry,” Ebersol added.
This is the heaviest fine for on-air cocksmanship since ESPN was slapped with a $45,000 penalty for its saliva drenched coverage of the 2005 USC Trojans.

EDIT: I hate Tom Lemming and so should you. Here’s some more reading:

And, the cream of the crop…

Any man that can make a nation empathize with FSU is… impressive. Even if you’re a ‘Cane or Gator you gotta like Lorenzo Booker for the way he handled this pariah.

THANK YOU! LOL.
The links on lemming are good to. Major League Asshole.

They actually had a piece that went unaired due to time constraints caused by a contractual obligation to mention Jimmy Clausen’s accuracy, arm strength and/or “masculine scent” at least once every 20 seconds. I was able to catch a glimpse of it before YouTube was pressured by Notre Dame and St. Peter himself to remove the video. It’s a shame, because it was a fascinating behind the scenes look into the selection process for this prestigious all-star game. They had footage of little known ceremonies, such as mandatory singing of the Notre Dame fight song every night for an hour straight before lights out, and each player kissing Charlie Weis’ ring (that he gave to himself after losing to USC by ONLY 3 points) before they ran out of the tunnel to start the game.
Saturday, January 6, 2007 at 7:43 pm
So help me, I never thought I’d witness a situation where Michigan, OSU and USC fans would be in complete agreement about anything…….. You nailed this one, bucko……..
Saturday, January 6, 2007 at 8:01 pm
Dear God, this might be your best work. Charlie Weis to Miami, disgruntled marsupial that he is…

I am very confused.

I wasn’t listening to closely, but I could’ve sworn I heard Lemming scream, “I HATE YOU, ARRELIOUS BENN AND MARTEZ WILSON!” at one point. It was muffled, which either means he had Fat Charlie’s balls in his mouth, or he thought the mic was covered.
Saturday, January 6, 2007 at 8:38 pm
So painfully good. Thx for this fyi and commentary.

The latest is that NBC has requested that YouTube be completely shut down for posting footage of NBC giving Notre Dame oral on a Spanish beach.
Saturday, January 6, 2007 at 10:27 pm
hey dickbrain,
All I want to know is when will Reggie Bu$h and 1 million mistake be admitted by the suckass condoms. Also, somewhere there must be canceled checks from the cheating bitch refs USC brought and bought to South Bend 2 years ago.
Saturday, January 6, 2007 at 10:44 pm
Hahaha, Notre Dame and its fans are absolutely embarassing. It has some of the worst fans and people associated with the program, and they still live on thier high horse even though they’ve lose 9 STRAIGHT BOWL GAMES.
Wow, it really must be the greatest place in the world to go…
Just ask Lorenzo Booker and Myron Rolle.
Tom Lemming as well as all ignorant fans who support Notre Dame football should be exiled.
Saturday, January 6, 2007 at 10:56 pm
God I hate Notre Dame too. Thank you for saying it!
Condolences to the Danelo family, by the way.

HAHA…fak e news.. love it

Rich,
Brother… calm down. I know you’re still upset about losing (again) in a bowl where you overhyped team was once again overmatched… all in favor of bowl leaders lining their pockets.
But going back two years because you didn’t have any ammo from this past year was pretty weak.
You have to admit this was a pretty funny and creative little article. Just leave it at that and go back to dedicating your time to the disgusting Jimmy Clausen for Heisman campaign. I think Bino was quoted as saying he’s gonna win 4. Paula$$ has nothing on this kid.
Saturday, January 6, 2007 at 11:54 pm
hahahahah…dickbrain…lmao. I take it as a compliment that despite your unbelievable obsession with USC, all you can seem to talk about is Notre Dame. Strange huh?
Sunday, January 7, 2007 at 12:31 am
I hate fancy preppy school football - it is way overrated. Those kids are the current spoiled brats of the rich, and the will become obnoxious and corrupt leaders in whatever endeavor they decide to take on. Like some oil companies, baseball times, or heck, maybe even the presidency.

It’s truly heartwarming to know you fear ND so much in the coming years that you have to waste endless hours coming up with fake news to counter all the great news that defines a class institution.
Sunday, January 7, 2007 at 6:58 am
From the anals of catholic football comes another revealing moneyshot of Lemming pornography - on NBC. Lemming should be lose his priesthood and be defrocked for his molestation of Jimmy the altar boy. NBC, aka - Notre dame Buys Contract, had the KY dripping off all of their cameras. What was the deal with the long shot of Jimmy for 10 seconds as we had to look up at him while he stared back like some thug wanna be - very disturbing. I thought it was Jamie Kennedy doing a marvelous parody - sweet headband!!. I was totally astounded that this show was not rated MA - my god I had kids watching. The display was puke inducing and made me feel that the domers should be embarrased and go right into repentance mode - it is Sunday, there is still time. And if I’m not mistaken, there was an a Jimmy turnover early in the game - this divine interception was certainly a sign from above…….

Greatness. j/k

You’re right about ESPN and their, er, “Trojan coverage”, in more ways than one. Vince Young may have ruined ESPN’s entire SportsCenter schedule for a week, when the cow of a 3-time champ would have been milked until it turns inside out. Those mutilated cows aren’t the work of aliens, but ESPN taking a story and running into the vacuum of space with it.
Sunday, January 7, 2007 at 8:15 am
Great stuff. Funny as hell and right on target.
Sunday, January 7, 2007 at 9:07 am
He said “anals”. Huh-huh-huh.
Sunday, January 7, 2007 at 11:48 am
I stopped having any respect for Notre Dame when I discovered that the prettiest girl on campus was also a startinf wide receiver….I guess Clausen will soon take over that role.
Sunday, January 7, 2007 at 1:03 pm
Too bad there aren’t SIX service academies……..’cause then we could pencil the Irish in for a bowl loss EVERY year
Sunday, January 7, 2007 at 1:04 pm
ND irsh: It’s not fear, (9 straight bowls 5 straight to USC) it’s just fun.
Anonymous: in light of what happened to Danelo you might want to retract your previous comment.
Sunday, January 7, 2007 at 1:46 pm
I’m okay with Irish fans calling me stupid or thanking me for making them relevant or whatever, but any negative comments about the late Mario Danelo will be either deleted or turned into something amusing.
Maybe a recipe for Notre Dame Cookies via wikipedia (look it up).
I moderate with a light hand, but for the person who’s decided to try smearing three times over the last 24 hours, you do realize I have control over my own blog, right? You can stop now.
Sunday, January 7, 2007 at 2:21 pm
One of the funniest blogs I’ve read in quite some time, best part is ND will get all these recruits just to fail, or have Charlie Cheesburger eat them during Spring Practice. Have some respect for yourself lardass.
Sunday, January 7, 2007 at 2:27 pm
yeah, ndirishguy, we fear you in sc. you would bring our sos down…think we’ll just keep wofford, the real golden domers, instead!! go cocks!
Sunday, January 7, 2007 at 4:22 pm
Did NBC swallow or did they spit. We must know this and other searing questions. Lemming needs to go back to delivering mail, he has lost all credibility.
The real question of the day, however, is which one of the NBC female interns from Princeton will allow Charlie Weiss to mount them thus causing them to disappear from the face of the earth, coming back as a Waffle House pancake???
Sunday, January 7, 2007 at 4:25 pm
Charlie likes boys Im sure, and I’m not talking about recruits.
Sunday, January 7, 2007 at 4:26 pm
Charlie likes boy and I don’t mean recruits.
Sunday, January 7, 2007 at 5:48 pm
This follows a similar $250,000 of Fox network for showing “Anal rape” of Notre Dame at the Sugar Bowl on Wed night by LSU. Obviously, this shows the FCC is only concerned with the distastfulness of the on air content, and not necessarily just because it’s notre dame.
Sunday, January 7, 2007 at 6:19 pm
Notre Dame??? Nope! Notre Lame??? YEP!!!!! The only reason they get tv coverage is because the friggin media demands it and shoves it down our throats. It’s not like we the people are calling in and demanding to watch it. HA!!!! Fortunately, we can change channels as most do. They have lost 9 bowl games in 10 yrs. WOW!! The majic is gone. The dome is tarnished 9x over. There’s another school that has been to far more bowl games and won more also. So, the leprichons are not America’s bowl team. Bama has more bowl games and wins than anyone (ncaa record).
BTW: What does Charlie Weis eat and how much??? I saw him on tv (while getting slammed by LSU). He’s huge. How do you wipe a butt like that???
Sunday, January 7, 2007 at 6:34 pm
To be fair, Larry, Notre Dame has lost 9 bowl games in 13 years. The Irish didn’t play a postseason game in ‘96, ‘99, ‘01 and ‘03.
Sunday, January 7, 2007 at 6:55 pm
[...] Anyway, for the college football fans among us, I’ll leave you with this recap of the US Army All American Bowl. [...]
Sunday, January 7, 2007 at 7:31 pm
Hey dork. Shouldn’t you be tanning or buying expensive sunglasses? You team is in its golden era and all you can bitch about is Notre Dame? And Bama fan…get a head coach and think you’re relevant again? Not so fast. Bammer isn’t even the best team in you’re shitty state.
Sunday, January 7, 2007 at 8:10 pm
Aaaaand way to cast ND in a positive light.
Sunday, January 7, 2007 at 8:47 pm
The punctuation in these posts is going unpossibly good
Sunday, January 7, 2007 at 10:01 pm
Larry says, “How do you wipe a butt like that?”
Weis does it the same way he bathes: with a rag on a stick.
Monday, January 8, 2007 at 3:12 am
Good stuff! I thought maybe my TimeWarner was on some kinda weird malfunctioning satellite-caused loop. To whit:
“And there’s who will be joining the Fighting Irish next year… on the sidelines you can see who delighted the faithful in South Bend when he made Notre Dame his choice last month… it’s important to remember Charlie Weis is only on his 2nd recruiting class - give him another couple of years to get his full team assembled and they will be competing regularly for that NC title…” ad nauseam.
Newflash to NBC - a number of other institutions of higher learning also play Div. 1 football. A few of them have even lost to Notre Dame.
Monday, January 8, 2007 at 10:36 am
people just look for anything to sue over
Monday, January 8, 2007 at 11:22 am
One of these days someone will tell Notre Dame you can’t win football games today on reputation.

Now how did I know that the link to “FCC fines NBC a record $250,000 for on-air fellatio of Notre Dame” under top posts on WordPress would lead here? I must be one of those Psychics!
And to think that NBC accomplished it all WITHOUT Brent Musburger. THAT is truly a towering achievement.
