Alright, this was a big week for everyone but I still contend that New Years is way overrated. The party is usually sub par because people force it, you have to let the fun come to you. Then theres are groups of couples who kiss at midnight, drunk ass girls and unsuspecting guys, creepy dudes and unlucky ladies and then the group most near to my heart, the guys who just gives their buddies a hug and wish them a not so happy new year (they dont deserve a good one). You finish the night crashing on a couch somewhere and are either still too drunk or too hung over to watch all the great Bowl Games on New Years Day. As hard as we try I would say one in every five New Years is a success story.
People Who Wronged Me This Week and Owe Me
Josh McDaniels, Kyle Orton and the Denver Broncos
Seriously, what the fuck? Starting the season 6-0 and missing the playoffs. Fine, that sucks but the worst part is how shit like this happens every damn year. They blew a 3 game lead with 3 games to go last year. In the last 3 years the team is a combined 1-8 in the last 3 weeks of the season (Boom. I'm including stats to my arguments. New this year). I don't even know how to fix this team. They have talent every year and win games against good teams in the first half of the season, then fall apart. If we get another year of this crap, I say we just disband the franchise and buy a team from somewhere else. My vote is for the Lions. Detroit is the hardest hit city in the country by the economic downturn and they could use the cash. Best of all you know where you stand with the Lions. They're just always bad.
I had a friend and future contributer to the show ask me what happened with Kyle Orton last night (3 INTs) because he missed the game and I responded politely with "He reared back, took a deep breath and dropped a record breaking shit right on my face. Then I found out later due to that shit, I contracted the Clap". Bad day for me.
Health Insurance
Got my coverage dropped today because of a bullshit loophole. My opinion of a national health care plan drastically changed today. You pieces of shit, seriously you're going to pay for everything you've done. I'm talking the board and the CEO down to the customer support operator who clearly had nothing to do with it. You're all going down.
MTV
Alright, lets put all of our cards on the table. The Jersey Shore is incredibly entertaining TV. The show is so terrible that it becomes amazing. The cast is amazing, specifically Mike aka the Situation
. Just knowing how serious these people are about their life style makes Jersey Shore the best "I watch this when I feel bad about myself so I can realize my real value compared to the general population" show of all time.
Did you go to a holiday part this year where someone wasn't talking about the Jersey Shore? Doubt it.
This being said MTV is bitching out big time. They have a MONSTER hit on their hands and when sponsors threaten to pull out if they don't reedit an episode, they totally cave. This show is a pop culture phenomenon. Trust me when I say that if you show Snookie getting DROPPED by that random dick head in the bar and you sponsors pull out, you will have companies lined up to swoop up that add time for equal or more money. It's just good business, try and tell me that corporate america is really concerned about how they look for advertising on a show that EVERYONE watches. They don't. They get more bang for their buck. If the FCC says its ok then leave that shit in.
PS have you ever noticed how Jersey looks like the end of your large intestine which deposits into your rectum? Just putting that one out there.
People Who Kicked Ass this Week
you knew it was coming....
ME
I mean what can you say about this guy? He brought back the most popular blog in the 3-5 fan range. Hero.
Bill Simmons
If you follow sports, you know Bill Simmons aka the Sports Guy. He writes on ESPN.com's Page 2 where he has his own section under "the sports guy's world". This guy is my hero. No one can bring perspective and humor to sports like he does. He writes all of his articles from "a fan's view". They are nothing short of hysterical. Best of all, he has a podcast called the BS report. You all know how I love podcasts. He includes guests ranging from tv critics to Landon Donovan to comedians to his personal friends. You can look him up on ESPN.com or download his podcast on iTunes (it was in the top 25 most downloaded this year). Also, he really kills it when it comes to interacting with his readers. He reads and returns a ton of emails and even uses quite a few in his articles and podcasts. Check him out.
I'm sorry, this coming out of retirement thing was last minute but I felt it had to happen. Unfortunately, that means I dont have a ton to talk about off the top of my head so I'm going to try and overload you with youtube stuff and (hopefully) some really good songs youll be into
Videos of glory
