Piers Morgan Talks About The ‘Gigantic Hideously Over-Muscled NY Monster’ At The Super Bowl…Madonna

» 34 comments

This week, thanks to an interview with Suze Orman, Piers Morgan Tonight grabbed 266,000 viewers in the 25-54 year old demo, which put him in second place in the time slot Wednesday night, his highest in months. That means it’s time to celebrate. And, if you know Piers Morgan, you know what kind of celebration he’d choose; it’s time for some Twitter snarking!

This morning, Morgan sent out a tweet claiming that the New England Patriots didn’t have any chance this Sunday because New York has a “gigantic hideously over-muscled monster.”


Pretty provocative, right? Sure enough, Morgan quickly began receiving tweets from angered Giants fans telling him he “knows nothing about sport.” However, they clearly didn’t click the link inside the tweet because, if they did, they would have realized it didn’t go to anything about the Giants but rather this Daily Mail article:

Low blow? Yes. Still pretty funny? Yes.

Morgan followed it up with another tweet asking, “Anyone know if she’s playing Middle Linebacker or Tight End?”

Man, people in the news better watch out if this guy ever comes in first in his time slot!

    I’m sure Puppy Bowl half-time on Animal Planet will be as good as Madonna

    For someone who can’t stand Madonna, he appears positively obsessed with her!  He talks about her constantly.

    It’s good to see that even now Piers Morgan hasn’t forgotten his roots as a mean spirited gossip columnist for a British tabloid.

    Shutup and focus on hackgate (to Piers)

    Morgan is a yellow journalist.  Bershad, your  job seems to mainly entail smirking about anything and everything–maybe you’re a slightly less vicious, more sniveling version of Piers?  Remember the distinction made in 101 Dalmations between Cruella DeVille and her husband–she was strong bad, and he was weak bad, but both were awful?  Similarly, both you and Piers produce more or less destructive drivel on a daily basis.

    Hater! I’d smash it like Thor cracking pecans with Mjolnir.

    I’m no Madonna fan, but old Piersy’s star obsession goes both ways… he can be the most slavish little star-fucker you’ve ever seen, but he’s just as happy to continue a (perceived, absolutely one-sided) feud with a famous person for the simple reason that their names will be linked in the press.

    It’s something that baffles me about the Brits and their media.  You’ll never seen so much gravitas and righteous indignation in a news story about the most trivial bullshit.

    Hey Piers Morgan, if you think you’re in better shape than Madonna, then prove it!!

    If not, then you should shut it!!

    Pier’s is the male version of Rosie O’Donnell. 

    Whenever a person has to belittle another to make themselves feel good, well, there is an underlying reason for it…I’m wondering why Piers isn’t Mr. Confident?

    NIce education & intellectual grammar you possess.  A real “Murcuhn.”  Yup.

    Drudge does the same thing with her. Madonna drives tabloid hacks like Matt and Piers insane, apparently.

    But that’s another thread

    You know
    that Piers is so hot for Madonna and desired her, but of course she married herself
    a more refined British man; although she has since dumped him.)

    Rejection
    and being slighted by Madonna has caused Piers to develop a strong case of “sour
    grapes”.

    I appreciate your well thought out and spoken affirmation of Piers’ attempts of verbal superiority, by degradation.

    Piers, ask a question and allow your guest to respond.  You talk too much.  Watch one of your shows and count the minutes you talk instead of listening to your guests.

     You definitely need your ass kicked but that’s funny.

    Piers Morgan is the hideous one, but doesn’t realize it.  He’s a buffoon…a jeernalist…a lame excuse for a man.

    I think Piers Morgan doth protest too much…

    Good call.  What do you think about her going blonde?

    Meh.  He’s only doing it to score ratings points since she’s the half-time entertainment.

    “Intellectual grammar”? Quite the wordsmith aren’t we?

  • Sean Smith

    Doesn’t matter because this guy equates stupid with American–i.e., citizens of the US.

     THE 1983 SUPER BOWL GAME INTERRUPTED

Hermadite •  New York, New
    York  •              Here’s
    an exclusive scoop sports fans. During the Super Bowl game of 1983 (Miami
    Dolphins vs Washington Redskins) at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, referee
    Jerry Markreit suddenly halted the game in the 3rd quarter when he realized an
    additional official had whistled down 4 prior plays.

                 
     As NBC cameras focused on the overhead blimp,and stayed
    there, 123,000 fans in the stands shouted and applauded when a heavyset
    policeman chased the phony Back Judge down the sidelines. Both teams watched
    this Mack Sennett comedy in disbelief. The cop collared the imposter and the
    crowd booed its displeasure.

                  
    Redskin running back John Riggins, still laughing with the others, told
    his team it was time to turn the game around and win! And so they did! BTW the
    fake uniformed Back Judge was actor/athlete Ray Williams and the cop was actor
    Frank Murgalo. It was a great caper and is fully described in a forthcoming
    book, “Abel Raises Cain,” bound to become a best-seller.

            

             PS
    A few years ago actor/writer Paul Hiatt, a member of the Merry Pranksters, was
    driving a NJ cab with passenger John Riggins. Riggins corroborated the charade
    on that Super Bowl day and added:

          “we were not favored to win and
    down by 14 points; the hoax stunt made us all laugh so hard we lost our tension
    and energized our resolve to win.”

        
    Nevertheless, the NFL decided to deny the event occurred and warned
    reporters they could lose future junkets if they covered it. The Time-Life
    photo department destroyed all their still photos. Most others complied except
    Phil Reisman with Gannett Newspapers and Mal Sharp, a San Francisco radio
    reporter. Then too, there were 123,000 witnesses.

    In July 2011 it was alleged by political blogger Paul Staines that Morgan published a story while knowing it to have been obtained by phone hacking while editor of the Daily Mirror in 2002.[66]
    Morgan is also alleged to have close ties with the Rupert Murdoch
    family and defended them in the media against suggestions that they were
    more involved in the News International phone hacking scandal than they claimed.[67] Morgan described in a 2006 article he wrote for the Daily Mail how he had heard tapes of messages that Paul McCartney had left for his wife, Heather Mills,
    on her mobile phone. Morgan wrote that “Stories soon emerged that the
    marriage was in trouble – at one stage I was played a tape of a message
    Paul had left for Heather on her mobile phone. It was heartbreaking. The
    couple had clearly had a tiff, Heather had fled to India, and Paul was
    pleading with her to come back. He sounded lonely, miserable and
    desperate, and even sang “We Can Work It Out” into the answerphone.
