Bob Knight talks shop with Jay Leno

February 12th, 2008 | Posted by PostmanR

The Bob Knight farewell media tour continued last evening with a stop on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.” (Ha look! Knight showed up in a ref’s shirt with a whistle around his neck!) Some of the stuff within is rehashed, but hey, Jay has to ask him why he stepped down. He would not be doing his job properly if he had not.

Also, Larry the Cable Guy was the previous guest, so he chimed in here and there throughout Knight’s interview. I have a feeling Larry and Bobby left the set and went and shot rabbits just off the 405 up in the mountains after the show. They seem like perfect hunting buddies, no?

It is here that Jay Leno “O’Reillys” Floyd Landis and his poppycock excuses

So, you’re Floyd Landis. And you’re scheduled to appear on the “Tonight Show” with Jay Leno shortly after your triumphant Tour de France victory. Then, you do whatever it is you do to your body (or someone else did to your body), have an 11:1 testosterone/epitestosterone ratio in your system, fail a drug test and then cancel your appearance on the “Tonight Show.”

Jay does not like that. Jay is angry. Jay will show you not to mess with him!

So yeah, Landis went back to Leno yesterday to tape a show and angry Jay did not go lightly on Floyd. It appears there was some grilling and calling out of Landis from ol’ Big Chin. (You can read some of the details here.)

And you know if Landis went on Letterman, Dave would have been a coward and not gone after him. Because even though Letterman owns an Indy racing team, Jay Leno has a bunch of sweet motorcycles.

And having a bunch of sweet motorcycles makes you more of a badass than owning an Indy racing team.

Do you understand? Me neither.
