Some of you might remember our spat in early November with local radio station KCJJ, when their morning host (the exquisitely named Captain Steve) and their sports director (Suterman) took offense to me calling them ill-informed. They voiced their displeasure by calling us "wannabe hack journalists" and bragging about the size of the houses they had purchased with all that AM radio lucre. We parodied morning AM radio, and they summarily dismissed us as a puppy nipping at their well-informed heels.
This morning, I opened up the Rivals message board to check in on whether Marcus Coker had, as previously reported on that board, framed Roger Rabbit and/or kidnapped the Lindbergh baby. Given our continued status as a small satellite orbiting KCJJ's world, I was shocked to find this thread:
Let me zoom in a little closer, so you can see why I was so stunned:
That is a comprehensive history of the acts of the Angry Iowa Running Back Hating God (or AIRBHG, as he is know colloquially), written by "Suterman", a/k/a KCJJ sports director Tom Suter. As we all know (and as was pointed out later in the thread), Angry Iowa Running Back Hating God is a creation of the dastardly wannabe hack journalists at this very site. When he's asked later where AIRBHG originated, Suterman begs off:
Look, AIRBHG isn't only our thing (in fact, I'm pretty sure it first appeared in a post at mGoBlog, because it sounds like something Brian would write), and we have no problem with other people in other forums using it. We'd just like to convey to Suterman and the rest of those crack journalists in the KCJJ action sports team the lesson we learned on the first day of Wannabe Hack Journalist class: It's not plagiarism if you link to it.

No, No, No!!
You are wrong 100%, but I will not get into trouble here again because of a correction to a butt-munch like you. No Freaking Politics!! Take it elsewhere, hack.

Do you often hear a "whooshing" sound

BHGP may need to protect its IP with legal action.
Declaratory judgment that AIRBHG is yours?
That is is REAL?
One_ill_KevinJ - January 13, 2012
Perhaps you just need to give yourself a fancy title...
or perhaps a silly title. Direct or of Wannabe Hack Journalists. Maybe then you could finally realize your dreams and be taken seriously by AM radio.
AM radio, the last bastion of journalistic integrity and ethics.

Captain Steve
I remember this guy when he owned 99+ in Muscatine. He’s alway been far more impressed with himself than he should be.
Flakbait - January 13, 2012
You mean "100,000 Watts of Power! And a Big Radio Tower, 99.7 KFMH! Muscatine, Davenport, Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, EVERYWHERE!!!!"
You mean that Captain Steve. He wasn’t the worst thing I ever heard in radio, but he wouldn’t be on the air if he didn’t own his stations.

Adding further amusement
Not only is he using your meme, he’s using your meme by copying and pasting something he ripped off from another message board.

and promptly yet another person posted this on the

I think I’ll write a fanpost just to make it come full circle.

You mean Ma$e?
Did he have a run-in with someone?
The Mexican't - January 13, 2012
I thought it was Jay-Z or Puff Daddy(when he was Puff Daddy)
I could be completely mistaken, though.
bornofclay - January 13, 2012 via mobile
Jim Jones.
bornofclay - January 13, 2012 via mobile
If I had to guess,
It was probably Jay-Z, since Ma$e was tight with Puffy. Of course, it could have been pretty much anyone, since prior to hitting the mainstream he went by Mase Murder.
That’s right, I’m a small town white kid who knows more than he should about early-90’s hip-hop/rap.

Like Journey… although whether they were a good band is up for debate.
The Bird Cult - January 13, 2012
So you think Yoko Ono was "Crazy Hot"?
I know we all have our opinions but, you may want to raise the bar on that one.
Flakbait - January 13, 2012
Oh man, that was the 2nd one I was going to post
But Yoko Ono doesn’t exactly fulfill the “hot” criterion
The Bird Cult - January 13, 2012
She's the exception
That makes the rule

The Eagles were rightly killed for having no good songs and kicking out their only talented member

How many times with this Coker deal has the 'main stream' media failed?
Erroneously stated the time of alleged assault.
Misrepresenting which lawyer was representing who.
Everyday the lines blur further between bloggers and journalists.
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
So did Marcus Coker frame Roger Rabbit, then?
What’s the intel on that…
bornofclay - January 13, 2012 via mobile
I totally know the answer to this
But I’m not going to say. It’s an amazing story though, you would all love it. If I would talk. Which I’m not going to. Because I know the answer, I just don’t think it’s right to share it.

Why must KCJJ Center Justify everything!?!?
I clicked on your link to see this Suterman fella. That was a mistake. It’s like the crack team at KCJJ collectively thought, “Hell, who needs a web designer. We can use our old Geocities format. You know the one that had the random typefaces, used bold in an incoherent fashion, and center justified the entire page so it looked like a 6th grade history project? Yeah, that one. That site was awesome.”

RE: the origin of the joke
Is it a spinoff of mgoblog’s Angry Michigan Secondary Hating God, or is AIRBHG older?
Seer - January 13, 2012
It's now on the free boards as well
The origin is always “an e-mail from a friend.” Translation: a link to BHGP.
mikjones24 - January 13, 2012
It's not like the first thing that comes up when you google "AIRBHG" is a link to BHGP.

And now I can't help but think that Iowa has gone a full year without an IGWWR
A quick search to verify the acronym shows that mGo has determined that in IGWWR’s [Inexplicably Great White Wide Receiver] place is the Elaborately Named Great Wide Receiver. Here’s hoping KMM can live up to the expectations of the next Iowa ENGWR.
