Incredible Used To Mean Literally Unbelievable
A couple emailers have passed this along but they didn't need to, since the Big Ten actually sent me this email they blasted out to apparently everyone from actual newspapers to two-bit bloggers:
I... what do you do with that? Comcast has a tough-talking guy who correctly characterizes most of the sports on the Big Ten network as uncompelling, so the Big Ten throws a public hissyfit and demands an apology? Is Jim Delaney a fifteen-year-old girl? Is he having a super sweet sixteen party later? Why does he remind me of Satan confronted with his Acura cake?DELANY CALLS ON COMCAST TO APOLOGIZE
STATEMENT BY BIG TEN COMMISSIONER JAMES E. DELANY
REGARDING THE CHARACTERIZATION OF BIG TEN CONTESTS AS 'SECOND AND THIRD TIER'
"Comcast recently has characterized events that will be on the Big Ten Network as 'second and third tier.' I believe Comcast owes every Big Ten university an apology. The comments are an insult to Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Northwestern, Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue and Wisconsin: To the universities, their students, their fans and alumni and their communities. There are no second-rate contests in the Big Ten."
