Howard Eskin Continues His War on "Clueless" Meteorologists
The King checking in:
The rocket scientists that call themselves Meteorologists in Philadelphia have done it to us again. The #Phillies postponed their home opener Thursday because of a forecast of thunderstorms, and heavy wind, and not a drop. And not a drop likely all night. #Clueless.

Like death and taxes, another thing that’s inevitable is “The King” dunking on meteorologists when they get a forecast wrong. He tried to do this last year, but was posterized by Cecily Tynan, though that has not deterred Howard in his never-ending quest for meteorological accountability.
The funny thing here is that weather people have jumped into Howard’s mentions to FIGHT BACK:
Back off clown.

Now this is rich, of course, because Howard spews flimsy sports opinions with absolutely zero repercussion. When he’s totally wrong about something, he just goes back on the radio or Twitter as if nothing happened, because he’s a talking head working in a non-essential field. Meteorologists, on the other hand, actually have to go to school to learn advanced atmospheric sciences and then enter the real world with the difficult task of responsibly interpreting complex data models.
But anyway, this is one of my favorite battles in Philadelphia. Howard vs. weather people. He could literally fill an entire UFC card himself with nothing but one-sided feuds:
- Howard vs. clueless meteorologists
- Howard vs. grammar and spelling
- Howard vs. his own phone
- Howard vs. the Sixers, because everything they do sucks
- Howard vs. moron, nitwit, and dope callers
Seriously. We just filled out the main card right there. UFC 288.
(conspiracy theory: I don’t think the game was postponed because of weather, I just can’t prove it)
