We’ve had upsets (Lee Symcox over Berry Tramel), we’ve had a blowouts (Kristen Chenoweth over Jenni Carlson), and we’ve had nail-biters (Brandon Chatmon over Toby Keith). We’ve also had controversy (somebody tried to vote for Steve Lackmeyer a few hundred times.) Through it all, we are now down to just 32 Oklahoma “Celebrities” battling for the right to be Ogle Madness II Champion. To view an updated PDF of the Ogle Madness II bracket, click here.

Before we begin with the madness, lets review some things:
• Elyse Downs defeated Brianna DeCassios in The Ogle Madness Play-In Game. Elyse will play Sam Bradford on Wednesday.
• One of our readers felt sorry for the original Ogle Madness II Logo and designed the one you see above. I guess it will work…unless someone can design a better one. Maybe we should have an Ogle Madness Logo Design Contest.

A few weeks ago, someone alerted us to the following story from The Smoking Gun. It had to do with Nick Nolte, a Capital One Credit Card, and a funny guy from Ponca City.
What’s in your wallet? Well, for a couple of days this week, the billfold of an Oklahoma man contained a Capital One credit card bearing the iconic Nick Nolte mug shot. Taking advantage of the bank’s offer to personalize your plastic with a favorite photo, David Mackie, a 35-year-old salesman, recently went online and submitted a card design featuring the disheveled actor’s September 2002 booking photo. Surprisingly, the bank–whose internal controls might merit a review–quickly replied with an e-mail announcing, “Congratulations! Your image has been approved.” Capital One subsequently realized its error, but not before the Nolte card, seen below, had already been mailed to Mackie’s home in Ponca City in northern Oklahoma
When I read this story, my first reaction was to go to the Capital One website and create an Amy McRee credit card using Kelly Ogle’s identity. Clark Matthews then notified me that this was illegal. Since I don’t feel like going to jail and/or adding another credit card to my impressive credit card debt portfolio, I figured we’d create some potential cards that our readers could make using Oklahoma-ish images from the internet. A couple of examples are below, the rest are after the jump.
This is a great card to show your support for a fledgling NBA sideline reporter, an amazing Cardboard cut-out, and a news anchor who should donate his salary to an important foundation.

If you are a fan of Steve Hunt, you have to get this card. If you are not a fan of Steve Hunt you should still get this card, because there is a chance you may hand it to Steve when you pay for your order at Taco Bell.

It isn’t a big newsflash that Mark Rodgers looks eerily similar to Rosie O’Donnell. I’m pretty sure it’s something that Berry Trammel pointed out years ago. But until I received these pics in an email yesterday, I never fully comprehended how freakishly similar the really are.
I’m thinking we should send the Video Vigilante to Mark’s house just to make sure that he’s really not Rosie O’Donnell. If Mark has either “A League of Their Own” on DVD, Madonna’s Sex in his bathroom, or an autographed headshot of Doug Gottlieb in his study, I say guilty.
Technically, these Fatheads aren’t yet available for purchase. But if they were, I would bet you $1,000,000 that some annoying Sports Animal caller like Driver or Jiggin Joggin Jim or Lumber Lady would own one.

I don’t know about you, but my favorite one is of Curtis Fitzpatrick. And that’s just because he looks like a crazed lunatic running away with a basketball. It has nothing to do with how fun it would be to buy it and put it up in the HiLo bathroom.
Ranking just behind Dean Blevins’ on-air urination and The Morning Animal’s decision to rip-off the Jim Traber Drinking Game, the third-best radio moment in the history of the Sports Animal took place a few weeks ago when Jim Traber and Mark Rodgers got into a heated argument regarding (of all things) the job security of a college baseball coach.
Since their heated on-air spat, where they called each other (gasp!) “jokes,” apparently Jim and Mark have decided not to like each other. In fact, they’ve decided not to like each other so much that they now refuse to appear on-air together. Hell, our fictitious Sport Animal sources have even told us that relations between the two are so bad that Traber now refers to Mark as “a sissy joke of yardbird” and that Mark has added Mike Koehler, James Hale and Roger Clemens to his Top 8 on MySpace.
Anyway, because we value the long, boring friendship that Traber and Rodgers appeared to have before their “fight,” we sent our friend Cardboard Jim to interview Mark Rodgers and find out if the pair had worked things out. Check it out after the jump.
(p.s. – Just like our Q & A’s with Chris Callahan and Mayor Cornett, this one is real.
First came the Jim Traber/Mark Rodgers tiff. Now, the state capitol is getting in the fighting mood. According to an Associated Press report:
Sen. Patrick Anderson, R-Enid, told the Tulsa World that Rep. Randy Terrill, R-Moore, tried to pick a fight with him, using words to the effect, “I’ll whip your ass.”
Now, we can argue all day and night about the vast array of meanings a phrase like “I’ll whip your ass” can take on, but let’s just assume it was the most common usage. That means TheLostOgle.com’s favorite state congressman is not only a racist, but a bit of a bully. But, why was he so upset that he went after a member of his own party?
Oh, the usual. Terrill introduced a new, racist, bill** trying to outlaw Spanish being spoken anywhere at anytime, and the outcry caused Senator Anderson to get overloaded with calls from constituents attempting to persuade him to vote for the bill. Of course, that outcry was created by Terrill robocalling Anderson’s district begging like minded people to flood Anderson with calls. For his part, Anderson passed on those concerns to Representative Xenophobe by way of forwarding every single call to Terrill’s office, including a a call from Mrs. Anderson requesting that her husband pick up some tamales on the way home.
So, as one can see, it was a perfectly rational argument between two grown men. Regardless, we at TheLostOgle have been wondering why there has been a rash of scuffles lately. Then, we found out that they are all staged in promoting a local Battle Royale wrestling event. It made perfect sense when we uncovered the teams: Continue reading ‘The Oklahoma Battle Royale’
