Whoa, Joe!

On Thursday night, Joe McDonnell was on the last couple minutes of KLAC-AM (570)'s PMS (Petros and Money Show) as they transitioned into that evening's Joe McDonnell Experience.

Petros: Dude, did you hear what happened today at practice?
Money: Bad news.
McDonnell: No.
Petros: Pat Cowan and Ben Olson both carted off.
McDonnell: Well, it's good news about Pat Cowan. What happened to Ben Olson?
Money: Carted off ...
McDonnell: Brittle Ben got hurt again.
Money: ... heard a pop in his foot.
Petros: It's good news that a kid got carted off the field at practice?
McDonnell: It is. He never has to play at UCLA again. Kevin Craft will be starting quarterback.

This has already picked up some heat on Internet message boards. Later, Petros called him out again for suggesting that an injured college player could ever be a good thing. McDonnell replied, "Hey, I didn't hurt him. Did I hurt him? Did I wish him ill? No. But it's good for the program because he's a terrible quarterback."

Having a trojan write the UCLA blog has reallly helped the LA Times. I think I am the second comment in the past couple weeks. Good job, LA Times!!

Sadly, that might have been the smartest and most tactful thing Joel McDonnell has ever said in his career. That man is horrible. He is the only one who could make me wish for a test of the emergency broadcast system. But I'm sure when McDonnell hurts his jaw downing a side of beef, Joe Cowan will be too classy to rejoice in his mis-fortune.
