Poo-poo touch.
As most know, the National Football League wrapped its 2023/24 season over the weekend with the Kansas City Chiefs defeating the San Francisco 49ers to win their third Super Bowl in five years and, officially, becoming a dynasty. While successful organizations are amazing to observe, what they do, decisions made that separate the great from the good etc. those snakebit franchises are equally fascinating.
How do some teams, for example, make such bad choices that even statistical odds are denied?
In the NFL, say, the Cleveland Browns have never once been to the Big Game even though being founded in 1944. Major League Baseball has the Seattle Mariners, which have never been to the World Series and the National Basketball Association delivers the Los Angeles Clippers, a notoriously stained franchise that has never tasted the Finals.
Long-suffering Clips fans have become very excited, this year, with a chance to break the curse. James Harden was brought over in the offseason to compliment Russell Westbrook, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. After early bumps and bruises, the Clippers have gelled and now sport a 35 – 17 record, third best in the Western Conference, and a real chance at the title.
But not anymore.
Over the weekend former, and ruthlessly fired, World Surf League CEO Erik Logan announced that he was producing at least one episode of “Ballervision” for the Los Angeles Clippers.
Per Instagram:
Thank you LA Clippers! Had a great time producing the Ballervision Broadcast with these legends! First one of the year! This is a great new project taking some of the best in their fields and creating an all new broadcast for basketball fans.
By using some of the best play by play hosts, Clippers Legend’s and celebrity guests, these broadcasts are not only informative, but fun to be a part of! I have loved my long association with the Clippers and this is just another fantastic way to contribute. Details forth coming on the next one! Go Clips!
As surf fans know, Logan poses the rare “poo-poo touch.” Everything the Oklahoman with a magical wetsuit of armor comes in contact with immediately turns to… the opposite of gold. Logan was brought into surfing to run the WSL Studios, which shuttered with only one lightly regarded film within the year. He failed upward to CEO where he produced the worst reality program in history, introduced “final’s day,” which may well undo the WSL and destroyed Filipe Toledo on his way out the door.
It is “just so Clippers” for them to, essentially, shoot their own foot right when things were looking up.
Or… might these two negatives equal a positive?
More as the story develops.
David Lee Scales and Scott Bass had an excellent conversation in a most-excellent Spit podcast episode earier this week. The shaka-in-current-human-displays came up on while they discussed the hard legislative work going on in Hawaii’s state legislation systems. They put this hand gesture in proper categories.
This Insta post isn’t ELO’s first in recent weeks with his straight-up, fingers sticking-up, mainland, European-descent, kook shaka (admit it now, you’re still checking on this kook’s Insta too). This self-centered opportunist is playing his cards so wisely. While he’s a no doubt a fool in the landscape of crusty, angry, core surf fans, he’s brilliant in climbing the ladder of self-promoting and career advancement. The joke is absolutely on all of us when he’s CEO of the ABG/Bluestar/VF Corp. conglomerate that eventually sucks up the entire surf/skate/snow manufacturing industry. And we know what the conglomerate corporate logo is…
strapped
I feel your pain. Makes me cringe when surfers revel in jock sports. That ELO is a jock comes as no surprise but ridiculing him while sharing a love for jocks seems disingenuous.
Clippity doo-dah Clippity day!
Worst Shaka ever
someone got sarged. only thing that makes sense.
I’d like to think the C’s would wipe the floor with them over 7. Elo or no Elo. Great excuse tho and can see why Harden and Russ would want fall guy.
Cunt thinks he can rock a shaka. He is doomed.
All those virile young man, sharing the same locker room. The heady smell of sweat, aftershave and rubber. The thud of the heavy ball out on the main court, the squeak of shoes underfoot.
Clippers small forward Jordan Miller, tired after another brutal session, slides off his training singlet. His heavily inked torso glistens under the soft light.
Erik Logan materialises as if from thin air. The spectre with a million dollar smile.
He surveys Miller’s rippling chest.
“Say, that’s a nice tattoo.”
honey bunch of winos. sipping honey wine. planting their seeds…cuckholds!
I can feel DR’s pulse racing as he reads this comment, from the other side of the world.
Oh hell yeah i’m all for the Elo erotic fan fiction.
ELO is like Troy McClure from the Simpsons.
Hi, I’m Erik Logan, you may remember me from shows as The Ultimate Surfer and Felipe Toledo Take Off Your Shirt!
Isn’t the rumor that Elo propositioned and harassed a CT female surfer, getting him fired? Can anyone not be such a puss and confirm or deny this rumor?
I’d say a guy,being the puss filled anal nodule parasite that he is.
The poopoo touch is strong…
Like when you step in it.
It can’t be denied
And my beloved Timberwolves schooled them last night.
Logan’s parasitic touch is upon them already!
You see Hustle on Netflix with Adam Sandler? Great ANT cameo. West playoffs are going to be murderer’s row this year if all teams are healthy.
He just oozes star quality in every way! He’s a dream!
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Fuck the Clippers.
I intend to. Each and every one of them.
It lives!
Can’t wait for the tee shirts Elo makes for the Clippers. Filipe’s was sick. Actually it may have made him sick. Poopoo sick.
ShakaPoo
Oprah
ELO carried her, bra.
*carried her bra, brah.
ELO has an all star cast lined up for this show with Billy Kemper, JMD and Cris Cote all scheduled to make an appearance
Two negatives are a positive.
Erik might really get into this ‘Ballervision’ concept, which presumably is closeup porn shot from a mini camera attached to one’s testicles.
Meanwhile over at the WoSL, campaigning for his replacement is heating up…

“long association with” the Clips is maybe the most important part of this post — explains why the Clips have been snakebit even after bringing Kawhi etc …
As for KC, a former waterboy/assistant became obsessed with Mahomes when Mahomes was a relatively unknown collegiate qb at Texas Tech. Through years of hard work, this young kid convinced the head coach and GM that his obsession was not totally ludicrous — Chiefs traded up to #10 (in a trade with another snakebit team, Buffalo) and snagged Mahomes. The rest is the history of a dynasty.
And btw, that obsessed kid is Brett Veach, who is now the GM of the Chiefs. That would be the same Veach who a couple of years ago had the stones to trade Tyreek Hill to Miami when everyone said it was crazy to get rid of the best WR in the league – but the trade netted a huge bounty of draft picks, which the Chiefs then spent on all defense (their defense had been subpar) which led them to field one of the best defenses in the league this year.
And since that allegedly ill-fated trade of the superstar Tyreek?? Well, Tyreek has made tens of millions and continued to be one of the best, if not the best, wideouts in the league. But the Chiefs?? Back to back world championships, and not only one of the best defenses in the league but actually the youngest defense in the league. Oh, and Mahomes is still being Mahomes.
Clips can take notes…
A match made in heaven. The losers of Los Angeles unite with the loser who came to Los Angeles. Both are perennial losers until the prove otherwise, which they never will.
