Weird Friday 2


After this video and the last one, you'll realize, this world might be f*cked.

Kids (or midgets) are growing up to do this kind of stuff (watch till the end) when we have real world problems like $39281901921022 worth of deficit and growing.

I am going to try something new on Monday, the title of which will be kept secret, but it will essentially be a link dump from the entire weekend. Anything I find worthy will be dumped on Monday in a special section.

Since Friday was a slow day that included too much work and people in our world actually being smart for once, I will make sure anything relevant gets posted over the weekend. Hopefully there will be time to find some more good stuff for your twisted enjoyment.

In the meantime, try not to hurt yourself or those close to you based off of the last two posted videos. They are a bit older, but if you haven't seen them, they make you feel better about yourself. It's always good to do that. Now you'll always know that there is someone out there who is a much larger loser than you are.

Weird Friday

Today was a rather long day. Not too much exciting stuff going on in this world. Plus the weather sucks outside. The fact that Chicago Bulls legends Johnny 'Red' Kerr AND 'Stormin' Norman Van Lier died last night pretty much sucked. The Bulls suck so much ass already. They should sacrifice daily animals to the Gods for allowing Derrick Rose to magically land in Chicago. Without him they would be the worst team in the NBA by far. Those two guys dying on the SAME day really blows.

This video has nothing to do with ANYTHING, other than the fact that it's weird. I can't tell if this is fake or if this kid is really a midget. I'm leaning towards the midget route which would explain why it actually looks real.

It will probably freak you out and cause you nightmares so I apologize. But on a rather slow day, I figured a funny, entertaining video is the least I could do.

'Stronger' - Kanye West on VH1's Storytellers


Kanye's making his first appearance on VH1's Storytellers this weekend and here's a little preview from his performance (it appears VH1's video player does not work right now. Sorry).

After not hearing 'Stronger' in a long-time, it's nice to remember how good of a song it was. My ears don't immediately begin to bleed anymore when they register Daft Punk's electro-beat.

Kanye's appearance will air this Saturday, February 28th and chronicles most of the new music from '808's & Heartbreak'. He does perform some of the rapping classics like the one above.

If anything, it'll probably be worth it to try and figure out where his mullet is going next.

Honorary Triumph "List"


Andy Richter will be joining Conan in L.A. when he takes over 'The Tonight Show'. That's old news. Like 2 or 3 day old news. I didn't mention it here, bc you'd probably heard it. No beating brains in with information. Thus only one story about A-Rod. Honestly, who gives a sh*t if A-Rod got into the car with his cousin that supplied him with steroids 6 years ago. Yea, he's that dumb that he didn't think about that news headline. Idiots.

Anyways, I promised a 'Triumph the Insult Comic Dog' list. I did Conan and Conan is now officially on break. Jimmy Fallon starts next week and in the meantime, we're left with an empty void of idiocy. Triumph can fill that. He's vile, crude, witty, horny, makes people angry and uncomfortable and a dog. A puppet dog. And he's awesome.

Here's the Top 7. Get dirty!


7.) Triumph @ the final Presidential Debate

6.) Triumph @ Comic Con

5.) Triumph on Hollywood Squares

4.) Triumph @ The Tonys

3.) Triumph @ Westminster Dog Show II

2.) Triumph @ the Michael Jackson Trial

1.) Triumph @ the Star Wars Premiere (hands down, the best)

Watchmen Helps You Waste Time


'Watchmen', one of the more anticipated movies of 2009 comes out a week from tomorrow.

Based off of the highest-selling graphic novel of all-time, 'Watchmen' appears to be about a group of banished superheroes coming together again after one of their own is mysteriously murdered. They then discover an even more sinister plot that borders on the unthinkable.

I doubt I'll go see it. Zack Snyder is a good director, his movies are crazy stuff. But I'm not into the whole comic-book/graphic novel thing. Who knows. Some people are really happy in their pants about this movie. Me, not so much.

Potentially sweet movie or not, here's something really fun: Online Watchmen Game

You get to fight your way through the dangerous streets of 1942 New York as The Nite Owl (no idea who) or Silk Spectre (no idea who) via an old school arcade game.

Good luck, you just lost the next 15 minutes of your life.

The Gaslight Anthem "Great Expectations" Video




Via an oil-pipeline in Philly that runs through Chicago, my desktop spit out the new video from 'The Gaslight Anthem' for their song 'Great Expectations'.

If you haven't heard of 'The Gaslight Anthem' I suggest you check them out. Their last show in Chicago was phenomenal. It's a mix of The Boss, The Killers, and just generally excellent sh*t.

During the Grammy's earlier this month, I couldn't help but picture them one-day, standing up on the stage, blowing everyone away with one of their trademark, intense, musically dominant performances. They'll be there sooner than later. I suggest jumping on the bandwagon now.

David Letterman loved them and I think you will too. The video isn't anything spectacular. It's driving, intense, and to-the-point, which is what their music is. They simply make f*cking awesome music.

If you're still not convinced, watch this video. You'll spend the next 13 minutes frantically trying to find somewhere to download it off the internet (which I don't condone!).

Most Intense, Greatest Movie Ever



I only recently watched Rambo (or Rambo 4), which if you haven't seen it, is the most awesome action flick up to this date. Shortly after watching that, I did a little checking in on Sly Stallone and found that he is slated to be in a new movie called 'The Expendables' due out in 2010. Upon futhur exploring, I noticed the cast of the film. Sit down.

Sylvestor Stallone, Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Forest Whitaker, Ben Kinglsey (rumored), Arnold Schwarzenegger, Eric Roberts, Randy Couture, and Dolph Lundgren.

Are you alive still? You could have stopped after Jet Li and your face would have still exploded.

Ready for the plot?

A team of mercenaries are sent into South America to overthrow a dictator.

I bet you're face is melting right now. Can you imagine this group of actors, all in one movie, blowing sh*t up? It doesn't matter who the mercenaries are, who the dictator is, who the police are, it simply does not matter. It's going to be the most intense, awesome, heart-exploding movie ever.

Supposedly Jean-Claude Van Damme turned down the role that Dolph Lundgren picked up. Are you serious? Dolph Lundgren is second in world history's best actors behind Steven Seagal, so he's no drop off from JCVD.

This story has been around for a bit, with random casting rumors continuing to surface, but it's too impossible to hide the excitement any longer. This has the potential to be the coolest action movie of all-time.

If it's anything like Rambo 4 (nsfw), it will be.

Arrested Development Movie Finally?




After Ron Howard mentioned the movie being a go at the 81st Academy Awards this past weekend, rumors started swirling that Michael Cera was finally part of the cast for the long-anticipated 'Arrested Development' movie.

Cera supposedly had been the lone holdout after becoming an uber-megastar in the molds of Will Smith, Christian Bale, and Tom Hanks. But, according to E! News, Michael Cera has agreed to join the cast, reprising his role as George Michael Bluth.

I can't say that I'm totally excited until I hear everyone confirm from their own mouths, that they are in and shooting the movie. The movie has been talked about for a while now so I don't want to get my hopes too high.

But, a bad day can always get better with a clip or two from 'Arrested Development', which is arguably, my favorite comedy of all-time.

If you have 2 minutes, watch this.

If you have 22 minutes, watch this whole episode.

Enjoy.

Megan Fox. Is. Single.



Megan Fox is gorgeous. Girls (I think) think she's a slut and a piece of trash. I don't care. She . I normally hate girls that have weird tattoos, but I forgive Megan Fox. She's that awesome.

And now she's single. It was inevitable that her hotness would eventually overpower Brian Austin Green's ability to keep her on his arm and that time has finally come. Multiple news sources have reported it (here's a Canadian news site's report, so it's probably wrong) and it's time for her to focus on her acting career. Green will reportedly also focus on his acting career which is obviously terrible news for him since he doesn't have an acting career.

Both of them have their names tattooed on each others bodies and while Green can at least use that to remind him that he was once cool for 17 seconds, Fox can finally move onto to making us drool even more.

Well done. Creeps all over the world unite.

Um, the JabbaWockeeZ Suck Compared To These Guys?


I keep seeing the JabbaWockeeZ. Everywhere. Still freaking me out. I finally figured out that they are a mix of Larenz Tate from 'Dead Presidents' and the devil.

I don't mind them, but someone guided me to the following video and I must say, these guys, are absolutely frickin awesome. I can't pop and lock, I can sort of dance, and I don't really like break-dancing. But I respect kick-ass skills.

The 'Robot Boys' appeared on the 2008 version of 'Denmark's Got Talent'. Assuming they won, these guys probably won the chance to perform in front of Denmark's 48-man National Army and a chance to compete on the Denmark National Softball squad. In America, you get your own Vegas show. After you watch this video, I'm fairly confident you'd go see this show in Vegas too.

'Robot Boys Live' - Denmark's Got Talent

Oo! Oo! Sidney Crosby Is Closer to Getting Annihilated


It's unfortunate that I have jumped off the hating Shaq and Kobe Bryant train. Shaq, I'll never dislike again, as evidenced by the many stories posted about him on here. He's just too likeable to ever get made at. Kobe, I respect, since he single-handedly would love to cut out your heart and make sure you never win a basketball game again. He's like 1c to Jordan's 1a when it comes to competitive fire.

LeBron James currently holds one of the top spots in my hatred tree, simply because everything about Ohio sucks. Ohio State, the city of Dayton, the boring-ness of the scenery...it's just awful. Thus I hate LeBron. If he simply moved to another city, I'd like him a lot. Considering he might be the second best basketball player I'll ever watch, I hope that happens.

Somewhere toward the top of that hatred tree, lies Sydney Crosby. He was hockey's prodigal son and while he's a phenomenal talent on the ice, he comes across like a whining Canadian baby (sorry for the redundancy with whining and Canadian). A few posts back, you can find yourself a clip from the NHL's true prodigal son, Alexander Ovechkin. Ovechkin and Crosby played the other day and Washington won. More importantly, Crosby and Ovechkin got into a slight tiff, before being quickly separated by the refs.

I've said a prayer every night since then, that the next time Ovechkin and Crosby play, the refs let them fight each other to the death. It wouldn't be close since a Russian can kill a bear with one hand, but it'd be fun. And since hockey is one of the few sports I can watch my favorites on the hate tree actually get hurt, I'm all for it. These guys might say they have no animosity towards each other. Bullsh*t. They hate each other. And the whole world is going to benefit from it.

Here's the clip from the other night. Sorry for the delay. I have other work I'm doing as well.

Lance Armstrong Is Still Awesome



Let me preface this by saying how much I HATE when TV cuts away from sporting event intruders. Remember when you thought the Russians were attacking when 'Fan Man' landed his parachute in the middle of the ring during the 1993 Holyfield/Bowe Heavyweight title fight? People reacted in sheer terror and amazement. Some people just began beating the dude's ass because they didn't know what was happening, while others thought the nuclear holocaust was on hand.

TV stations today cut away from fan-interference because they don't want to 'showcase the idiots on TV'. Networks feel that showing these people on television will futhur encourage that kind of stuff to happen. That's stupid. Aside from the endless entertainment I get when things like this happen, showing that would highly encourage someone to never do that again.

Being tackled by an NFL linebacker or being spiked in the face by a baseball player's jumpkick would discourage most people from running onto the field of play. It would be awesome to watch and it would make someone think twice about being retarded. Somebody runs onto a basketball court during the Suns game? Shaq could beat their face in with a Gatorade jug and it would be fine by me.

Thanks to 'With Leather', I saw this highlight of Lance Armstrong at the Tour of California, as he prepares for another Tour de France. Some moron ran onto the course while carrying a gigantic fake syringe. Lance, displaying his epic balance and Texas bravado, shoved the fat jackass into the snow.

Watch and enjoy, in order, below:

Lance 1

Lance 2

Lance 3

Lance 4

*Note the fat man's face as he is shoved to the ground and as he gets back up. And watch the fellow riders in the background. Whether they like seeing Lance pestered or seeing this moron go blubber-first into the snow, who cares. They enjoyed it.

Oscars Recap


The 81st Annual Academy Awards took place last night and here are some of the highlights:

Best Foreign Language Film - Who gives a sh*t

Best Documentary - No one cares

Best Short Film, Live Action - I hate this


Sure, maybe I would have cared had Sean Penn not won the Best Actor award for his portrayal of a homosexual mayor. Mickey Rourke should have won, plain and simple.

Even Penn knew it when he said of the Academy, "You Communist, homo-loving son-of-a-guns."

Sean Penn has never been right in his life, but he got it right that time. Too bad Mickey Rourke didn't drop a flying elbow through Penn's face while he accepting the award. Oh, well.

The above disappointment aside, there are a few things about the Oscars that actually matter. Two things to be exact. They may have not crossed your mind at the time, but they will when you see previews for future movies that these guys either star in or direct. And it'll blow your mind when you comprehend them.

1.) Michael Shannon

- Michael Shannon was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor. Obviously, no one was going to beat Heath Ledger. Ledger deserved, possibly, a Best Actor award. Ledger was that incredible in 'The Dark Knight'. So no one really paid attention to Michael Shannon. But you remember him.

You remember him from his phenomenal role in 'Bad Boys 2' starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. REMEMBER?!?

Does the name, Floyd Poteet ring a bell? Floyd Poteet was a member of an ecstasy-smuggling KKK faction, who gets busted, and eventually ends up riding around in the back of a car trunk while Smith & Lawrence shoot up Miami. Here's a memorable exchange from the movie:

Poteet: "I've got my rights."
Lawrence: "Why don't you exercise your right to shut the f*ck up."

Who in their right mind thought, 6 years from now, Michael Shannon/Floyd Poteet is going to be nominated for an Oscar. Can you believe it? We can now re-watch Bad Boys II and the credits flash, starring "Academy Award Nominee Will Smith, Martin Lawrence, Joe Pantoliano, Peter Stormare, and Academy Award Nominee Michael Shannon as Floyd Poteet!"

I bet you don't know whether to laugh or cry.

2.) Danny Boyle

Danny Boyle won the Best Director award. He joins the endless list of great directors to have won the award and he deserves it. He makes great movies. He also made '28 Days Later'. It's a great movie, but it will scare the living hell out of you. It's about infected humans who turn into flesh eating monsters.

Supposedly, they're trying to get him to direct the third installment of the series, "28 Months Later". The second installment was OK, but it wasn't nearly as good as Boyle's original. I'm sure the price on Boyle just went up a slight tick but who cares!

The tag, " '28 Months Later', directed by Academy Award Winner Danny Boyle" is worth the price alone!

Get Michael Shannon & Mickey Rourke to star in it and we've got potentially the greatest movie ever made on our hands.

Gotta go, a 'Rolling Stone' with Sean Penn on the cover just arrived at my desk. I hate the Oscars and you should too.

'The Cougar' TV Show


Cougars. Everyone knows one. Everyone sort of wants one. Not the animal. The woman. She's anywhere between the ages of 40 & 60 and on the prowl. Beverly D'Angelo would be the perfect example of a cougar. Gross. Demi Moore is another example of a cougar. Awesome.

When I was informed that TV Land is coming out with a show, produced by the creators of 'The Bachelor', based on 20 guys attempting to land the love of a 40-year old cougar, I puked in my mouth a little bit. I hate those reality shows. HATE THEM. Only women watch them. And gay dudes. I, unfortunately, fit neither of those categories so I don't watch them.

But that's going to change. Vivica A. Fox is going to be hosting this new show beginning in April. And it stars two people I know from college. Grant and Adam Mills were two of the craziest kids I knew. They were twins, played rugby, partied every second of everyday, were hilarious and provided endless entertainment. And now they are competing for the love of a 40-year old, hot cougar.

The entertainment will come and I can't wait for it. I have absolutely no idea what channel TV Land Prime is but I'm going to try and figure it out. You should too. 'The Cougar' is going to be awesome.

Twitter Is Actually Really Cool


I've seen people talk about it a lot and stumbled across the sites before, but I've never really figured out what the point of 'Twitter' is.

After researching it a bit more, I've figured out that it's a glorified Facebook status update. But it's sort of cooler than that. Because Shaq does it.

A buddy of mine sent this to me a few days ago and while I didn't initially read it, I stumbled upon it again today and realized that it was time to sign up for 'Twitter'. So I did it. But more importantly, Shaq signed up for 'Twitter' and updates it. Himself. That's way cooler than Facebook status updates. Go sign up for 'Twitter' and you can be Shaq's friend too. He really wants you to do it. It really makes you feel cool.

(BTW scroll down a bit and watch Shaq dance w the JabbaWockeeZ if you STILL don't think Shaq is cool yet)

Late Night With Conan Is Over


Conan O'Brien's last 'Late Night' show is tonight. Show number 2,725. His 16-year run has been more successful than anyone could have imagined and Conan now turns his sights to taking Jay Leno's place as the host of "The Tonight Show". That (mercifully) starts in June.

In the meantime, it's time to reflect on some of Conan's greatest highlights. O'Brien has always been my favorite talk show host. Leno's chin and lisp are odd and he's funny once every 14 shows. Letterman is great with his guests but he's just boring. Carson Daly sucks. Jimmy Kimmel is OK. And the rotating hosts at CBS after Letterman don't really matter.

Conan's always been great with guests, had awesome sketches, and a knack for doing the unexpected. Thank God he'll be taking over 'The Tonight Show'. He's represents the Irish well.

In honor of Conan, here's my Top 8 Conan moments:

(Triumph qualifies in his own separate category...his list will come soon)

8. Conan Kisses Rebecca Romijn Stamos

7. Arnold Meets Arnold

6. Conan Works For UPS

5. Norm MacDonald Make Fun of Carrot Top and is Probably Drunk

4. In The Year 2000: David Duchovny Edition

3. Conan Goes to Finland

2. Conan and Mr. T Go Apple-Picking

1c. Walker Texas Ranger & Mike Huckabee

1b. Walker Texas Ranger Lever Mashup

1a. Walker Told Me I Have Aids

(added bonus video for more Mike Huckabee/Conan fun)

Hope you enjoyed. Despite the kick to the balls that NBC delivered by moving Leno to 9pm, Conan finally moves into late night 'primetime'. People aren't sure he'll succeed but he's smarter and funnier than anyone else out there. Here's to another long run for Conan as the host of 'The Tonight Show'.

In The Air Tonight (Morning Train Ride Remix)


I dread riding the train every morning. Actually, I don't dread it, I just hate it. People smell, people push, people try to get on before letting people off, people listen to awful music really loudly. It's just horrendous.

The train stops every 436 feet because of some stupid issue and the CTA is always in massive debt. Riding the train sucks a lot.

I'll admit that my first reaction to the following video would be anger. I'd think that some idiots are making a bunch of noise and being obnoxious and I'd want to move to another car. But then, after listening closer, I'd realize that these guys are actually singing a Phil Collins song. And Phil Collins makes the whole world happy. Eventually I'd get off the train and be really excited to continue my day. That's how cool this video is. Watch the one guy in black who never turns around though. That would be me. Until I turned around.

Alexander Ovechkin's Sick Goal


I finally found video of this goal from last night. Ovechkin backhand passes the puck off the boards, while spinning, to himself, then falls on his ass while being shoved by a defensemen, and scores a goal while sliding across the ice.

It proves two things:

1. Alexander Ovechkin is the best player in the NHL. It's not even close. He will score 60+ goals, hit you harder than Scott Stevens, and play the game with more passion than anyone else.

2. Russia is better than Canada. Ovechkin is Russian. Sidney Crosby is Canadian. Canada is America's hat while Russia is a land of vodka and Siberian frostbite. Russia>Canada.

He's my favorite player in the NHL. Maybe in sports. That's how good he is. He also is awesome for moments like this - getting caught at the All-Star Game checking out the one good thing about Canada.

(If you still don't think he's the best player in the NHL, watch Ovechkin's favorite goal scored)

JabbaWockeez?!?


Sorry I didn't post this a few days ago. I was traveling for one day then had a long, intense day back at work. I've been thinking all the time about this, I just haven't had a chance to discuss it much.

To start, the JabbaWockeeZ are a dance group. Apparently they were on "America's Got Talent" and then won "MTV's America's Best Dance Crew" show back in 2008. I obviously didn't know who the hell they were because I didn't watch either of those two absolutely retarded shows.

I'll give "America's Got Talent" some credence because David Hasselhoff is on it, but other than that, those shows are mostly watched by single people who eat too much and have self-esteem issues. So pardon me for not knowing who the f*ck the JabbaWockeeZ were.

Fast forward to like 3 weeks ago when I saw the new Gatorade/Monty Python commercial with Kevin Garnett, Derek Jeter, and Jimmie Johnson. In a parody of the "Search For The Holy Grail", Gatorade's star athletes stumble upon a bridge with these creepy masked monks guarding it. Both sides do a dance, the masked creeps let the athletes through. It's a cool commercial and I'm interested to see the next set. Not the point...

Turns out these masked dudes are JabbaWockeeZ. But I didn't know that yet. I just thought they were masked Gatorade commercial characters.

Fast forward to Sunday...I'm watching the All-Star game and out comes Shaquille O'Neal. Shaq walks on stage with a beat in the background, a weird mask, and the little masked dudes! More JabbaWockeeZ!

Shaq ended up doing a fun little dance and got the point across that the NBA will miss him when he's gone. More importantly, there were more of these frickin JabbaWockeeZ. I'd never seen these little dudes before and all of a sudden my face was exploding from different images of this dance troupe from the "Scream" movies.

I explored a little and discovered their appearances on those mind-numbing shows and even found out that my friends sort of knew who they were too. Weird. I'll admit I was semi-fascinated by these guys which led me to figure out who the f they were. I just don't understand where this explosion of JabbaWockeeZ action came from. THEY ARE EVERYWHERE. And they are sorta weird.

They wouldn't be remotely interesting if they didn't wear masks. It'd just be a group of asian break dancers (and one black guy). That's all. Whatever, I watched it. And so can you.

(The other point of this was to highlight the sick dance moves that Shaq has. I hated that guy with all my guts until a few years ago. When he decided he hated Kobe Bryant I began liking him again. The fact that he is 7'1 and 320 lbs of humongous and can dance like a small asian guy is awesome. It's hard not to like him.)

Transformers 2 Trailer


The Transformers 2 teaser trailer came out a few days ago and it looks pretty good. The only visible plot line is revenge (thus the name of the movie) and there are only a few shots of Megan Fox, but otherwise it's coming along.

You're introduced to a whole host of new machines including one that looks like an armadillo.

As long as Megan Fox is in it, I'm totally cool with the movie. The fact that this looks even more intense than the first one is a good sign. Check it out here (watch it in HD!).

Happy Valentine's Day


I'm not going to leave Valentine's Day with a morbid post. I can't do that. Even though I am single, there are countless other human beings who are deeply in love with the right ones and the wrong ones.

And to kick it old school today, here's two classic love songs/music videos that will surely make this Valentine's Day, the greatest Valentine's Day ever!

(PS - Play these in the background during the proposal and she'll be crying "Yes" in no-time)


(Play this one if you've been in a complicated relationship. Multiple partners, tons of moving parts, maybe a brother or sister involved as well. Throw this one on in the background when you get down on one knee and she'll be all in for you and only you.)


(Play this one if you may have taken it too fast. You went out one night and woke up the next morning with a ring on your finger. Or you never seem to go 5 minutes without yelling at each other. Or your Chris Brown & Rihanna.) 


(Play this one if you [dudes] have totally screwed up. More often than not, guys find themselves in the role of the screw-up and then loll around all depressed and mopey. And that's not the way to go about life! This is the perfect song if you forgot Valentine's Day today. Play it, realize your mistake, and get after it. The ring will be sliding on in no time.)


(Lastly, if you recently got dumped or dumped someone, this is your song. You've been tied down, making phone calls every day at 4:16, 7:16, and 10:38, and you never get to miss an episode of "Mad About You". Well, don't fear, because Jon Secada is setting you free. Go outside, tuck your shirt into your jeans, hold people's babies, and walk around the beach. You're free. Be careful though...if you look like Jon Secada, the women aren't going to stay off of you for long.)

Good luck in all your ventures this Valentine's Day. Hopefully you didn't forget and hopefully the ring fits. Take in all the love you can today. Boys day returns tomorrow with the beginning of the new Nascar season. Happy Valentine's Day!


Is Flying Safe Anymore?

Sure, maybe this is what they call 'too soon'...but honestly, I'm scared to fly anymore. Continental Commuter Flight 3407 crashed into a house yesterday, killing all 44 passengers, four crew members, an off-duty pilot, and one person on the ground. It was the first deadly crash of a commercial airliner in the U.S. in 2 1/2 years. 

Yet, just a month ago, we saw incredible footage of a plane landing in the Hudson River, piloted by Sully Sullenberger, saving the lives of all 155 people on board. What if that guy wasn't so skilled? What if the plane landing went something like this?

Pardon me if I'm scared to death to fly nowadays. Ice on the wings? Geese flying into the engines? Isn't the potential for that sh*t to happen all the time REALLY GOOD? Someone said look at the statistics though compared to automobile crashes and plane crashes. You're much more likely to get into an auto accident then a plane crash. Yea, well, the likelihood of me surviving a car crash is much higher than me surviving a plane crash. Usually, when a plane crashes, it's over. No matter how many times we watch "Lost", I'm thinking if I crash in a plane, I'm going to become an orb. 

Sorry to be so morbid on Valentine's Day. I guess that's why I should get a girlfriend. It's not my fault that I never want to look at my pilot again when I'm getting on an airplane. I have an issue with judging people and I know I'll instantly judge whether or not my pilot looks like they can smoothly land in a river. 

The crash of Flight 3407 was a tragic loss and I'm sorry for everyone that was affected by this accident. This is just something that's been on my mind for the last day/month. 

I wish it were as simple as taking segueway's across the world. 

Taking of Pelham 123


I pass slow minutes of a day with movie trailers. As everybody waits in anticipation to see what kind of crazy, dumb stuff is done at tonight's NBA Slam Dunk Competition, I bring you the new trailer for "The Taking of Pelham 123". It's a remake of the 1974 film starring Walter Matthau. 

It stars John Travolta, in his first film since his son's tragic death, and Denzel Washington. I tend to be biased to anything Washington does since the awesome "Man On Fire". Here he again teams with Tony Scott in a film that sort of looks like Money Train crossed with Inside Man. And John Travolta has a neck tattoo and awesome handlebar mustache. That's enough for me.

Mickey Rourke Would Hump A Gorilla Before Courtney Love



There are rumors floating around that Mickey Rourke is dating Courtney Love. Courtney Love is the epitome of disgusting. I never want my life to get to the point that someone says I may be dating Courtney Love. If it did, I'd probably take a cross-country Amtrak train hostage and reenact Under Siege 2. 

So how dare someone says it about Mickey Rourke. 

Rourke, who better win the Oscar for Best Actor, recently addressed these rumors with TMZ by saying, "He'd rather hump a gorilla than Courtney Love." Do you know how awesome that is? Here's a guy, vying for an Oscar, telling people he'd rather hump a massive gorilla than another human being of the opposite sex.

The people that choose Oscars are old people. Old people who are dying, old people who like the movie Citizen Kane, old people who love Sean Penn for being a completely vile American scumball. These old people get really offended when someone says something like what Mickey Rourke said.

The thing is, he doesn't care. He could care less whether or not he wins the biggest acting award there is. All he cares about is doing what he wants to do. If Rourke wants to wrestle Chris Jericho at Wrestlemania 25, he's gonna do it. In a time of A-Rod bowing to the pressure of superstardom, here's a guy who's comeback has made everyone take notice and he could still give a rats ass. 

It's refreshing. It's awesome. For his sake, I hope the guys wins the award for Best Actor. And then I hope he grinds on someone and does this


Mayor Awesomestahl


On a recent trip to Lake Geneva to play Broomball, it was brought to my attention that Pittsburgh has a crazy mayor. My buddy from Pittsburgh mentioned that Luke Ravenstahl was elected Mayor of Pittsburgh at the tender age of 26. Pittsburgh's former Mayor Bob O'Connor passed away in 2006 and that's when Ravenstahl took over.

I recently stumbled upon this picture of Ravenstahl hanging out with Snoop Dogg at The Super Bowl. After seeing it and reading Mondesi House'a point of view about Snoop Dogg, I thought to myself, let's research this Ravenstahl cat. Here's the highlights:

- Youngest Mayor in Pittsburgh history @ age 26
- Washington & Jefferson College's record holder for most consecutive extra points (he was a kicker on the football team)
- On Halloween 2005, Councilman Ravenstahl was reportedly involved in an incident at Heinz Field where he shoved a police officer and was led away in handcuffs before being released (a later controversy that claimed then Mayor O'Connor pulled some strings to get Ravenstahl released)
- In 2007, participated in a $9,000-a-head Mario Lemiuex Charity Golf Outing on behalf of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center & Pittsburgh Penguins
- In 2007, he also took a Homeland Security-funded SUV go to a Toby Keith concert where he reportedly got a little too drunk
- In 2009, in support of the Steelers during their AFC Championship Game against the Ravens, had his name temporarily changed from Ravenstahl to Steelerstahl

Holy crap. That's an awesome rap sheet. Not quite as good as Snoop's, but for a guy who is the Mayor of a major American city, that's pretty sweet. Blagojevich ain't got sh*t on him. 

Tell me we shouldn't be allowed to trade politicians like in sports? You know how fun it would be to offer one of Mayor Daley's sons, 8 Lou Malnati's pizzas, Luol Deng, and 4 Chicago Dogs for Mayor Ravenstahl and 36 tubs of Heinz Ketchup?

God this world could be so fun.

Quentin Tarantino Is Nazi Hunting


Let's play word association.

Nazis = History's  Excrement
U.S. Soldiers = History's Saviors
Quentin Tarantino = Creatively Violent Bastard
Brad Pitt = Cool
Beheaded Scalps = Crazy Cool

Ok, now let's put that all together. Quentin Tarantino's new movie is about Brad Pitt & 8 U.S. Soldiers under his command during World War II. Brad Pitt says this during the movie: "Each and every man under my command owes me, 100 Nazi scalps. And I want my scalps!"

You know what this all equals? One kick ass movie trailer...and one potentially awesome movie.


The Only A-Rod Discussion I'll Ever Have


Sorry for a few blank days. I've been traveling and hanging out with John McCain and NBA All-Stars in Phoenix. My computer has the battery power of a 46-year old unplugged Atari system. And I haven't been able to steal any free internet yet to log-on anywhere. 

Those issues aside, I've done a LOT of thinking about Alex Rodriguez. I threw a javelin through my TV screen at home on Tuesday because I couldn't take it anymore. Every time I turned on the TV, I saw A-Rod. Or Peter Gammons melting face. Or Stephen A. Smith's. Or Skip Bayless' worthless mug. It all culminated with me picking up the javelin I had since 7th grade track season and chucking it through the TV screen when Roy Oswalt suggested that all of A-Rod's numbers should be voided because it gives farm-jockey's like him a bad reputation.

I'm not going to say much on the issue. I have a few opinions and then I'm going to move on. There's a lot more worthy stuff to give a crap about in this world than A-Rod and his steroids. 

It's a shame this whole thing came out because it's a total pain in the ass for Major League Baseball. Just when MLB thought it was moving on, this had to happen. Barry Bonds was going to be guilty of being a human trash pile, Roger Clemens was going to be forgotten, and Spring Training was going to start, fresh off of a great MLB Postseason. Then some righteous prick got a hold of some startling information. 

Look, no one that isn't a professional athlete can understand the pressures these guys go through. Not Stuart Scott, not Katie Couric, not Buster Olney, not anyone. When your thrust onto a stage of millions, asked to perform at extremely high levels, and asked to give up your privacy, you can get stressed. I know, these guys choose this path, but it's not like there's a better option. 

Play sports and have your face recognized by millions the world over, just so your family and your kids' kids can be financially set for the next 200 years? That's not a bad proposition is it? Would you do it? You say you would, sure. Everyone that hasn't had to do it would gladly give up their silly desk job to make $8 million a year to play baseball. But it's not that easy.

Just for a second, look at it from A-Rod's perspective. At the age of 25 (what were you doing at 25?), you sign the largest contract in SPORTS HISTORY, for $252 million. And don't fault him for taking that money. Tell me one thing in the world you wouldn't do for $252 million? There's nothing out there. That money GUARANTEES your family security for centuries. 

Add to that A-Rod's propensity for self-image issues and you find yourself in a bad spot. Look around the league, where drug use is rampant, including in your own clubhouse (see Rafael Palmeiro), and tell me that taking steroids doesn't seem like a bad option? Steroids has never killed anyone. It makes you bigger, leaner, and stronger. It's not quite as illegal as it is today, so why not? You have the pressure of the entire sports world sitting on your 25-year old shoulders and a few non-lethal drugs are sitting there to help make the world less stressful. I bet more than one of us would have taken them. 

It's a bad choice. I'm not defending him. He made this choice and now it's cost him everything he's worked so hard to build. A-Rod was a phenomenal player before this ever happened. He was offered a baseball and (starting QB) football scholarship to the University of Miami. He turned that down and was a 1st-Round Pick of the Seattle Mariners at the age of 17.  In his first full season in the bigs he had the highest AL batting average for a right-handed hitter since Joe DiMaggio in 1939. At 23 he was the third MLB player to join the 40-40 club and at 24 he hit another 42 home runs despite missing 30 games. At 25, he joined the Rangers.

Alex has always been image-conscience. Much has been written about A-Rod's "obsession" with Derek Jeter. Looking at Jeter, A-Rod always saw a guy who is so cool, so collected, and so outgoing with the media. A-Rod saw how Jeter still never let it effect his job on the field. A-Rod has never been able to feel that comfortable within himself. That's where the steroids must have helped. 

It's unfortunate Alex never got the kind of prodding I got from my mom on a daily basis. She would always say, "Who cares what other people think about you." No one ever prodded that into A-Rod's head. You would have hoped that the fact that he averaged 40 home runs, a .300+ batting average, and over 100 rbi's a season before the age of 25 might have done it. Instead, Alex felt compelled to go from those averages to 50 home runs and 130 rbi's a season. And look where is today.

Marvin Miller, the respected famous founder of MLB's Player Union, offered this on the A-Rod shenanigans. "Not one but two surgeons general have said that tobacco use is the worst cause of death in the U.S. that can be prevented -- we lose 400,000 people a year to tobacco-related incidents and over time it runs into the millions. Yet not only do we not outlaw tobacco, but the U.S. Congress keeps giving subsidies to the tobacco industry and everybody sits back and smiles. On the other hand, there's not one single documented death from the use of steroids. So that's a hypocritical lie."

As for the media, Miller said, "A kid who wants to be professional athlete reads the sports pages or watches ESPN and is told over and over again, "These are performance-enhancing drugs. Take these and you can be Barry Bonds or A-Rod or Roger Clemens. The media, without evidence, keeps telling young people, 'All you have to do to be a famous athlete with lots of money is take steroids."

Therein lies our problems. A-Rod was an incredible baseball player before he took steroids. He's been an incredible baseball player since he stopped taking steroids. If I started taking steroids, I couldn't begin to do the things that A-Rod did. Barry Bonds was a great baseball player before he started taking steroids. He was a 30HR-50SB guy that turned into a 60HR-7SB guy. Steroids do not make the player. Steroids enhance the player. 

It shocked people to see A-Rod admit the usage because everyone always labeled him the hardest working, most talented baseball player they ever saw. It hurt people's feelings. Baseball doesn't need to go through this black eye again. Take A-Rod's 2001-03 statistics away if you want. Don't label the man as invisible for everything else he's done. He admitted to something that he didn't have to admit to. It was supposed to be a confidential survey that helped baseball face its problems. A-Rod came out, admitted his wrongs and will now try and move on. America has been somewhat kind to those who admit their mistakes. We all make them...just not on this kind of stage.

I don't justify what Alex Rodriguez did. It's disappointing and sad. The pressures these athletes face are something we won't fully comprehend. C.C. Sabathia and Mark Teixeira just had a load of pressure taken off their new Yankee shoulders. As for Alex, he has always despised and hated pressure. He now faces more pressure than he ever has before.

Update: Bentley Driver Is A No-One


So, the "mystery man" who led police on an extended chase throughout L.A./Hollywood turned out to be a no-name. It wasn't Chris Brown, wasn't Rex Grossman, wasn't Eddy Curry. It was some Pakistani business man who assaulted his girlfriend, then led police on a boring-ass chase throughout L.A for over 3 hours.

The man, who apparently was distraught over the failure of his business, never topped 40mph while evading police in his Bentley.

Seriously, if you're going to evade police for over 3 hours, while carrying a gun in the car, and refusing to give up, you think you could have more fun in the process right? You're driving a BENTLEY for Christ's sake. That baby can hit 180 in a heartbeat and you don't take it over 40? Way to go out in a blaze of glory dude.

Oh, forgot to mention, the guy killed himself at the end of the chase. Yea, he pulled over, opened his trunk while an unidentified woman approached his car, and blew his own brains out.

Are we sure it wasn't Chris Brown?

Damn, Chris Brown Wasn't Leading That High Speed Pursuit


So, if you missed the news that Chris Brown is now a dishonorably discharged ninja warrior, it's OK. It's hard to turn on the TV, the radio, the cassette player, the newspaper, the dishwasher, the laundry machine, or the shower without hearing someone's opinion on A-Rod and his steroid use.

It's insane. It's already the most obnoxious news story of the past year. What sucks is that it came at one of the worst times of the year for sporting news. NOTHING exciting is going on, so when the greatest baseball player, possibly of all-time, admits to steroid use, ESPN inevitably begins to blow their load and talk about it till our ears begin gushing blood.

SO, if that's all you've known and heard, it's understandable if you missed the news that Chris Brown violently assaulted his girlfriend Rihanna the night before the Grammy's.

Chris Brown is the popular, sexy (not in my opinion), lovable R&B singer who's had a wonderful past year. His status as a rising, primo, Hollywood Artist is about to take quite the massive knock though, as it's being reported that Brown got into a domestic dispute, resulting in severe injuries for Rihanna.

According to police reports, Rihanna suffered "severe injuries, including two huge contusions on her forehead. The contusions look like an MMA fighter or something, like she was growing devil's horns."

Do you comprehend how crazy that is? Rihanna, gorgeous Rihanna, somehow was beaten so badly that she now looks like Ron Perlman and Hellboy. There were also conflicting reports about police charging Brown with assault with a deadly weapon even though no weapons had been recovered.

Well, update to that...Supposedly Brown is a registered martial artist. As in, he's Steven Seagal Jr. And he opened up a can of "Hard to Kill" on his beautiful girlfriend.

Supposedly Brown suffered as a child when he watched his father beat his mother and he vowed to be a better man. Well, that obviously didn't pan out too well.

Random details keep coming out about this story and if I find pictures, I'll post them. I despise people like Chris Brown and hope he's f*cked for life. Police are hoping to charge him with a few felony charges, and I can only hope things get worse for him as this goes along.

Too bad this driver from Chicago, who led police on a slow-speed pursuit through Hollywood, wasn't Brown. It would have been nice to see it end with a few gun shots through the white Bentley's window.

(PS - I still haven't found out who this driver is. Police believe it to be a high profile suspect, who many first thought was Brown. With Illinois plates, and the fact that the guy driving a $150,000 car that can do 180mph, only seems to be going 40mph, my guess is that it's Rex Grossman. It's clearly someone who is mentally handicapped and can't do anything right. I'll update this one when more details emerge.)

On A Boat


I really liked "Boats & Hoes" from "Step Brothers". Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly dominate the song and it's got a kick ass beat. And it's ridiculously stupid.

Leave it to "The Lonely Island" crew to up the ante. Andy Sandberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone have their next single out for their just released album "Incredibad". The CD miraculously turned up at work yesterday and I instantly popped it in hoping for some more "J*zz In My Pants" (the song you sicko). The CD itself was OK, but the next single works well. These dudes are really creative.

Here's Sandberg, Taccone, and a mystery guest "On a Boat."

Movie Trailer Monday!


I don't recognize anyone in this movie trailer except Hugh Hefner & Craig Robinson. Robinson was recently doing media interviews to promote his new movie and this is obviously it.

The two guys in it, Trevor Moore and Zach Cregger, are from the comedy troupe "The Whitest Kids U Know". You might remember Trevor from the "Slow-Jerk" Video.

The World Is Now Ending...


It's finally happened...Two of the most virally (not a word, who cares) popular things to hit the web in sometime have merged. You knew it was going to happen. Christian Bale wasn't yelling on a movie set...he was in the car. With David after he went to the dentist.

Thank Jesu that Christian took lil David to the dentist to get f*cked up. And thanks to David for peeing on Bale while they were in the car. This is almost too perfect.

Need a Girlfriend?


It's slow for a Friday, so sticking with the theme of rocking out, how can you not have this song playing during an ode to Bobby Brown? The words fresh, fly, and classic are defined by this video. This video is THE sh*t.

Play this at your parties tonight. You will have sixteen girlfriends by the end of the night. And they will all be hot. If you learn the dance moves on top of that, good luck.

Crack (Or Whitney Houston) Destroyed Bobby Brown


Yesterday was Bobby Brown's 40th birthday. Holy crap, I can't believe I missed it. I spent a good 20 minutes searching for BBD, New Edition, and Bobby Brown videos last night and didn't even realize the dude was turning 40 right then! People tend to get lost in thought and equilibrium when they begin watching Bobby Brown videos. Was it because of the sick dance moves? The awesome shoulder pad-aided suits? The pure vibe of his songs? Or because he did a lot of crack and abused Whitney Houston?

I'd love to have given Bobby a pass or to think that Whitney caused him to go insane. But that's comparing apples and oranges. Bobby Brown could rock your world. These videos and these songs make you want to dance. Ask the little kids from the "Four Provinces" video where they got their dance moves from...

"Every Little Step" - Bobby Brown

"Poison" - Bel Biv DeVoe

"Drop It One The One" - Bobby Brown Posse


Fridays need Bobby Brown. Everyday needs Bobby Brown action. Wherever you are while reading this or listening to these videos, your dancing like a psycho. Enjoy.

Happy Friday!


Since it's Friday (and EVERYONE is happy on a Friday), I'm posting fun stuff I stumbled upon over the last few days.

This first video is the official music video for "Four Provinces" by The Walkmen. The band is an indie band from NYC and you might recognize this hit from them in 2006. Despite the fact that "Four Provinces" makes me think about Osama bin Laden and all the caves he hangs out in, this video is lots of fun. The song is good too. And the camera work is kick ass. Plus, if you're one of the 7 people in the world that aren't happy on a Friday, the little kids dancing can hopefully do the trick for ya.

Slipknot Loves Rick Astley


Here's what I think of when I hear the word "Slipknot": death, dying dogs, hell, violence, clown masks, dying cats, the devil, graveyards, zombies. Here's what I think of when I hear the word "Rick Astley": pretty girls, heavenly voices, chicks, loving pets, famousness.

When you combine the two, zombies start rising from graves and becoming people's pets. That recently happened. Corey Taylor, Slipknot's frontman, came into Q101's studios and did a station takeover last week. He played whatever he wanted from his iPod for almost 2 hours. For 2 hours, the guy couldn't stop playing awesome music. Never before has something this cool happened. If you missed it, I'm sorry (but I won't let you miss it).

Corey Taylor Rick-Rolled all of Chicago. That's f*cking awesome.

"Tokyo"


Weird movie trailer I stumbled upon. The directors are all rather good, but everything else about this movie really freaks me the hell out. Either way, the trailer has an awesome song from Tokyo Police Club in it. That's worth the viewing alone.

This "Stimulus" Plan Sucks


It seems that Michael Moore is going to get fatter and fatter. With President Obama's economic recovery package sitting around in Congress getting picked apart, another nice detail comes forward showing that Hollywood will (finally!) benefit from the "stimulus".

In the proposed plan, Hollywood would receive a $246 million tax break over the course of 11 years. Coupled with $335 million towards Herpes prevention, that's about $581 million of "stimulus" going towards a Hollywood tax break and disinfecting Pam Anderson's diseased crotch.

Add $5 billion to build more public housing and we've really got a great plan on our hands.

If Barack Obama is anything like the man he "was" when he ran for office, he needs to figure this bill out and stop caring about if people like him. He promised to clean up Capitol Hill (starting with 2 people he nominated to lead on it). There is some really dumb shit in that bill that is NOT going to help our economy. Right now it's a Democratic laundry list of stuff they've been trying to pass the last 8 years. The sad thing is that we REALLY NEED a stimulus plan. Our economy is in shambles and we need to fix it. Everyone (except idiots) can agree that some of these earmarks make no sense.

Then again, look at the people who are putting stuff into it. Nancy Pelosi recently commented, "Every month that we do not have an economic recovery package, 500 million Americans lose their jobs. I don't think we can go fast enough to stop that." Funny. Last time I checked the population of America was roughly 300 million. Jesus.

We can only hope Barack takes control of this and can fix it. Then, he truly would be a savior.

Headset Hotties??


I still can't figure out if this website is a joke or not. It seems to be a site that showcases women wearing headsets. There might be some real-world purpose behind it, I just can't figure it out. Every time I'm tempted to click on something and find out more, I get the inevitable feeling that my computer will begin to download porn to every monitor at work. I haven't garnered the balls to do that yet.

My Dentist Sucks



How come I never had this feeling when I left the dentist? I was always bleeding and covered in plaque. I bet this kid could beat Alex Boone for a sack.

Alex Boone Had/Still Has a Drinking Problem


Let me preface this by saying that I've always hated Ohio State. I hated them the moment they stole a championship from the Miami Hurricanes in 2002. Hated them even more so when I went to school in Dayton, Ohio. If you were dumb enough to get into OSU, you thought you were the coolest person on the face of this earth. If you were dumb enough to not get into Ohio State, you still pretended that you went there. Columbus is full of douchebags. I. HATE. OSU.

Sticking with that theme, former Ohio State tackle Alex Boone was arrested over the Super Bowl weekend for re-enacting scenes from "The Incredible Hulk".

This guy used to drink 20 or 30 or 40 beers a day in college supposedly. The fact that he's 6'8'' and over 300 pounds and as ugly as a troll leads me to believe that this was a frightening encounter. The fact a taser took him down is impressive. That shows you how terrible he was as an offensive tackle too.

His pro prospects were a bit shaky to start. With him back on the bandwagon, they look even worse. Expect him to end up with the Bears.

Christian Bale Will Rip Out Your Soul


Here's Christian Bale yelling at the Director of Photography on the set of "Terminator: Salvation".

Here's a DJ remix of that encounter. Awesome.

I hate to say it, but maybe he did assault his mother and sister? Just kidding. Not possible. He's a really nice guy. He even acknowledges that other people are nice people. Just f*cking idiotic Director's of Photography.

Super Bowl Monday!


Well the Super Bowl is over...not a shabby game. Steelers 27 Cardinals 23.

The game had some spotty officiating and some crazy plays (notice the clipping at :12 secs), but things came together nicely. Following last year's Giants/Pats Super Bowl was a tough task but the teams did a good job of providing some entertainment. God knows the commercials weren't anything too exciting. And the halftime show sure was the most intense, weird, over-the-top 12 minutes of awkwardness I've experienced since I last saw Brenda Warner in 2000.

Here's the Super Bowl Recap:

Top 5 Commercials (links coming if not yet available)

1.) Career Builder spot - Punching animals can be a funny commercial in and of itself. Add the repetitive elements of the old asian guy saying "Hey Dummy" and a Koala getting punched like 5 times, it's even better. My favorite spot.

2.) Doritos Crystal Ball - Crotch shots, crystal balls, and Cooler Ranch chips. 'Nuff said.

3.) Conan Bud Light Ad - Conan is the single reason this commercial is funny. And the weird Swedish bondage. They should have used Finland though since Conan had that long-standing skit going about how he looks like Finland's Prime Minister...

4.) Denny's Thugs - I found this commercial funny and I don't know why. The loud sound of whip cream might be a good start. And the fact that Denny's is giving away a free Grand Slam Breakfast to everyone in America from 6am-2pm tomorrow, 2/3. Find your nearest Denny's here!

5.) Taco Bell: Overrated - Taco Bell has good food. No matter how much you regret going to the bathroom 5 hours later, the food is good. This girl is hot and this would be something I'd do in real life. JK. But not really.



Movie Trailers

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - Megan Fox is hot.

G.I. Joe (Notice the kickass "Hollywood Undead" music in the background)

Year One -(I have a hard time enjoying this trailer knowing that Michael Cera is the dbag who is holding back the "Arrested Development" big screen movie. He made a few cute little flicks where girls thought he was innocent and sweet and now he's holding back what made him someone in the first place.)

Up - (Another Disney Pixar flick. These movies are always awesome and make me want kids or at least the chance to rent someone's kids so I have a legitimate reason to go to the theater to see these films.)

Angels & Demons -(Awesome book. Really weird ending. And this was before Da Vinci Code. And Tom Hanks' weird hair doesn't work as Robert Langdon.)

The halftime show was quite the adventure as I stated above. Bruce Springsteen and half the late-night NBC/CBS TV cast performed for 12 minutes in one over-the-top set. Aside from the stupid refs throwing penalty flags and The Boss proving he knows more than one term from football, THIS WAS THE HIGHLIGHT of the night.

I'm sure the NFL & NBC thought they had a safe thing going when they got The Boss to perform, but who knew he would go weiner-first, sliding across the stage into a cameraman. Watch his face, it's ridiculous. I'd much rather see Janet Jackson's boob.

The NFL season is over unfortunately. Always a sad time of the year. Hopefully you made some money yesterday. If you bet the over/under on Brenda Warner appearances, sorry they didn't show her more. Miracuously she's become smoking hot. She looked like a more mature, milfy, sexy version of Heidi Montag from "The Hills". Before and after. You can't say she's not hot now. God Bless America.

Super Bowl Sunday

It's Super Bowl Sunday today. I've cared less over the last few years (other than the Bears game where this was the single highlight) about the two teams playing. I really just watch for the commercials, hoping we'll get a classic like this one or this 1997 hit.

Will Arnett is doing something for Pepsi today as evidenced by this commercial and this website. So far there seems to be nothing funny about it, but let's hope that'll change. Will Arnett is after all, the funniest man alive. Here's hoping Pepsi does the smart thing and let's Will Arnett do ridiculous stuff. 

Miller High Life also has something going on during the big game and it's actually pretty funny. Delivery man Windell Middlebrooks made an appearance with Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show" to talk about it. 

As for the game, I like both teams. Mike Tomlin is quite possibly the coolest head coach in all of professional sports. And Arizona has some dudes that I think deserve to win a Super Bowl (Edgerrin James & Larry Fitzgerald). That said, if the traditional game of squares is too boring for you, here's a good gambling game: How many times will they show Kurt Warner's wife? We'll set the over/under at 27.

And while Arizona is the team I'll likely root for, all that matters to me is a 9-7 at the end of any quarter (squares are never boring). Pittsburgh's D is too damn good to lose this game, gambling's all I've got.

Steelers 34 Cardinals 28

Enjoy the day!
