Neil McCready... TRANSLATED
Gump4Heisman.com
So, there's this Neil McCready email going around. And if true, it's pretty darn interesting.
First, the backstory.
Some of you who don't closely follow the man (evidently a lot of you) may have wondered what was going on when Mobile journalist Neil McCready disappeared from the WNSP Radio show "The Sports Drive," only to show up a few months later writing articles for the Ole Miss Rivals affiliate RebelSports.Net.
Well, he was fired. Canned. Shula'ed.
Interesting.
Because McCready once claimed fired head coach Mike Shula was "the best Alabama can realistically hope for," and described the very thought of Nick Saban-to-Alabama as "Eddie-Murphy-at-his-peak hilarious."
And now McCready, who once aired shows Delirious with the hirings and firings of the SEC and Alabama, was the one getting the Raw deal. What had happened? His condescending criticisms of Life in small-town Alabama couldn't have been sharper had they come straight from the teeth of a Vampire in Brooklyn. Sure, those in places like Beverly Hills Cop an attitude towards small-town life and its limitations. But in Alabama, college football is king. And the pressures of what happens on Saturday Night Live on the shoulders of everyone who makes a living from it. Take McCready for instance. For five years, during the heyday of Alabama's downturn, he was The Golden Child. But things change quickly. When McCready was on top, he mocked the squeaky clean image of Mike Shula, saying the cutthroat SEC was no place for The Distinguished Gentleman. He mocked Alabama's fan base, saying the chances of Saban coming to Alabama were as good as the chances of Fidel Castro Coming to America. Then, 48 Hours later, Saban was Alabama's coach. And, seemingly Another 48 Hours later, McCready's radio career went Boomerang. Right back to where it started. Dead. Faded into black. As dark as the sky over Harlem Nights. Things had indeed come full circle. Less than a year after the employed McCready had mocked the fired Shula, the two men found themselves Trading Places.
And now to present-day, where a letter written by McCready to WNSP is making the rounds. Some may read it and think 'Hmm. Classy.' Others may read it and think 'What in the name of cheap-shots-masquerading-as-classy-send-offs was that?'
But the rest of you - providing you are from the North-American
cultural mecca of Mississippi and not the bare heathen lands of Mobile,
Alabama - should be able to judge this for yourselves.
NEIL McCREADY... IN HIS WORDS :
Gentlemen,
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your firing of me
last November. I mean that sincerely. Had you not fired me, I likely
would not have stepped up my searching for a new opportunity in a new
locale. As a result of your firing of me, I was receptive last Dec. 23
when Rivals.com called me to discuss a position running the Ole Miss
Rivals site. I'm in my second month in the position, and I have never
been this happy professionally at any other time in my career. So,
again, thanks.
Business is booming, I am surrounded by people who genuinely care about
their product and provide support and advise to the people who provide
it. It
has been remarkably refreshing. It has also been wonderful to return to
a place my wife and I consider home.
She and the kids will be
joining me here on a permanent basis soon, and we're very excited to be
in a new environment where we are surrounded by family and friends and
in a place that offers far more culturally and socially to our children
than Mobile and/or Spanish Fort ever possibly could.
I
would also like to take this opportunity to inform you that I have
advised my attorneys that I will no longer be
pursuing legal action against you for the three months' severance I believe you owe me.
It's simply not worth the time or the
trouble, in my opinion, and I have moved on. I do regret that you chose
the manner you chose to fire an employee of 5 1/2 years, but to each
his own.
I congratulate you, also, on your decision to bring Mark back to your
station. He was wonderful the first time around, providing what was
easily the best period in Sports Drive's history and I have no doubt
he'll bring spark
and energy back to a program that was, at least in my opinion from the
few times I heard it, woeful in recent months.
I think he and Pat will
do well together. I hope you give Mark a chance to earn the position permanently.
Sincerely
Neal McCready

Katie,
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for dumping
me. Had you not dumped me, I would not have this rock-hard six pack
sex-fest of abs. They are so awesome and hard. People take pictures of
them all the time. I don't have any pictures of them though.
You
dumping me forced me to get a gym membership, and now I look better
than ever. Thank you for that. I look so good now. Wow, I look good.
Seriously. I'd do me.
Everybody tells me I look good. Just then, when I was writing that
sentence about me looking good, this lady walked by and said "You look
real good Neil!"
My sex-life is booming. The past two months I've been with a girl named Sarah. She is
so much hotter than you. I don't have any pictures of her
though. But she is way hot. Man, she's so hot. She is curvier than the Nike Swoosh. Everywhere I go people
are like "Neil, that girl you have been with for the past two months is
so hot!"
She so much cooler than you. And smarter. And her body is better. Sure she shops in the 'Plus' sizes, but her body is so much
better than yours. When I was with you everything was uncool and sucked, but with Sarah everything is Fonzie.
I
want to thank you again sincerely. I'm so happy in my new life that I
spend time away from it to write you letters. I'm so over you.
I would also like to take this opportunity to tell you that I told the Private Eye I hired to follow you the past few
months to lay off. It's not worth it. I'm so over what happened. Even though you are a terrible person. I
don't even think about it anymore.
I still think it was pretty horrible
of you to dump me even though we dated for two years and I bought you
all six seasons of Sex And The City on DVD even though I hate that show.
Best of luck to you and Brad. Now that you and him are already getting serious, I totally think you guys should get serious.
Sincerely,
Neil McCready







I do not understand what is going on lately. At the end of last year this sight was a favorite of me and my coworkers. As of recent....at best, afterbirth. Saucey fucking afterbirth. Get your shit together and write somethig funny jokeman. This article can suck my fucking dick.

Well, that was rude Mr. Smith. Afterbirth can be funny...like if it was on your head. That would be funny, AfterbirthMan.

Bob,
That's because, at the beginning of THIS year, I began doing stand-up comedy, which has limited the time I can devote to entertaining unappreciative cocksuckers.
Yours truly,
Dr. Fallatio
P.S. This article is not going to be able to give you tongue-pleasure. No my friend. Though maybe if you printed it out, and rolled it up, you could use it for some type of primitive, paper-based lube.

McCready is the biggest douche to ever be transmitted via radio. He is a pathetic excuse for a man, even though there is a great possibility that he isn't one. I, along with everyone else that wanted to scalp themselves after hearing him speak, are glad that this clown is off the air and has been sent to America's colon, Mississippi.
