1-900-JON-FINE:
Jon’s fictitious 900 number for the ladies.
20, 12: What Jon
says he averaged playing H.S. Basketball…if pressed, he will admit that
these were his stats: 20 points and 12 rebounds, in lay-up drills prior
to the game.
ABC: Anything
But Country, musical preference.
Archie Bunker:
New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson…We believe first used on the air by
caller Brandon from New Orleans.
Argaiv: The drug
Jon uses daily….says it helps calm him down…Argaiv, by the way, is Viagra
spelled backwards.
Automoatic Chopsticks
Wasabi Finesocki: Name Jon created for himself when a Janapese
restaurant was a sponsor in New Orleans. Has been resurrected for Geisha,
Sushi With A Flair, across from Bass Pro, in Denham Springs, a sponsor on
our Denham Springs HS football games.
Back Door: Where
sponsors urge Jon to leave their office, usually to avoid his harassing
the female help….Used to be the side door.
“Bawww…Where was you
raised? We down South”: reaction to anyone using a big word or
expressing anything that can be perceived as anti-Southern.
Bay Bay O Ja Ron:
The way to properly pronounce (present USC assistant coach) Ed Orgeron’s
name…Coach Orgeron gave Jon this lesson in 1991, when Jon interviewed the
then University of Miami assistant.
Bullseye: On
play-by-play, a shot that hits nothing but net. A tribute to childhood
idol John Sterling (whose patented call was made on NY/NJ Nets
broadcasts). Sterling is presently the play-by-play announcer of the NY
Yankees.
Esther Anderson:
UGLY; Fred Sanford’s sister-in-law Aunt Esther.
Extortion: 1)
What the Saints have done to the state of Louisiana to procure annual
Welfare for The Rich payments. 2) What Jon does to get area businesses to
sponsor Jon Fine Sports Productions programming…the word Bamboozle has
also been used.
Family Program:
It is a dysfunctional family…but Jon Fine Sports Productions programming
is family programming…or so Jon alleges.
F.B.M.O.A.: The
Future Big Mike’s Of America, an organization Jon says he has founded for
high school kids that attend The Dru Nettles Show at Big Mike’s Sports Bar
and Grill.
General Studies:
What every LSU football player majors in…was Kinesiology back in the day.
George Sham: New
Orleans Hornets owner George Shinn.
“Have a good day
(evening), everyone”: Standard closing that Jon uses on play-by-play
and Monday Morning Quarterback…the way legendary NY sports talk host John
Sterling used to close his show, back in the day, on WMCA Radio-NY…another
tribute to Jon’s childhood idol.
HIPPA Laws:
Whenever LSU doesn’t want to release info on an injured player, they cite
the HIPPA laws. Jon cites these laws, quite often, as the excuse for not
answering the caller’s question. In actuality, Jon doesn’t know the
answer to the question posed.
“How’s The Family &
Kids”: Said by Jon to color commentator Jim McChristian in the waning
moments of a close ball game…yet another tribute to John Sterling, who
would say this back in the day on NY/NY Nets broadcasts.
Is So: Jon says
it’s his middle name, given to him by Louisiana women.
Jon Fine Sports
Productions motto: “Remember, sports are not life or death…They’re
far more important”: stolen or amended from someone, not sure who.
Lesbian: Any
single woman that turns down Jon on a date request…Jon concludes there
could be no other plausible explanation.
Lunatics: Not
all, but many, if not most, stand-alone A.M. Radio station owners. Jon
has had his share of dealings with such.
Mamou, Louisiana:
Jon says it is his home town. If pressed, he will admit it is a suburb
(1700 miles southwest) of Valley Stream, NY, where Jon was raised.
Moooooohstafa
Vuvuzela Baba-Ganoosh: When trying to avoid detection from certain
people (often creditors), Jon assumes this name.
Pamela Lee Anderson:
A big bust in sports context…EG, Ryan Leaf is a Pamela Lee Anderson…used
to be knows as a Dolly Parton.
Propaganda: Any
printed material promoting Jon Fine Sports Productions programming.
Southern Bias:
Jon’s sarcastic explanation, at times, for when LSU or the SEC has been
perceived by a caller to have been dissed.
SportsGumbo One:
Jon’s car…now from sponsor Richards Honda!
Tailback: What
Jon used to play in both Basketball and Baseball…whenever he got up to go
in the game, the coach would say: “Fine, get your tail back on the bench”.
True Sports:
Football, Basketball, Baseball and any sport directly related to a current
sponsor!
UCLA: Where Jon
says he was an All-American in college basketball…Jon then transferred to
Ohio State, where he had an All-American career in college football.
This, of course, all preceded Jon’s All-star career with the New York
Yankees…All of this usually comes up when a caller questions Jon’s right
to comment about sports when he never played college or professional
sports.
Unemployed:
everyone affiliated with Monday Morning Quarterback (except sponsors!):
callers, listeners and, most accurately, Jon.
“Why Don’t You Shut
Up?”: when Jon doesn’t have a response to a good insult a
broadcasting partner or a caller has leveled against him…stolen from
either Archie Bunker (Carroll O’Connor, not Tom Benson) or Fred G.
Sanford.
