Beijing Olympics – 2008

August 17, 2008

The Olympics are well underway.  I haven’t heard another word about pollution or human rights.  I have heard quite a few funny stories, such as the singer at the opening ceremonies was lip synching because the girl with the good voice had buck teeth.  Also, there have been a few comments about censorship by the [...]

Superbowl Commercials Ratings

February 4, 2007

Here’s a link to our reviews of the Superbowl XLI commercials.  Overall, we were disappointed with the quality, but there were a few gems.  We give Coca-Cola props for having the most professional commercials overall.  E-Trade came out with two great ones to stay on top of the all-time rankings.  Budweiser and Bud Light had [...]

Prince Halftime Show

February 4, 2007

Prince put on a decent show.  It’s hard for a musician to do much by themself on a stage in the middle of a football stadium.  Sounding good is a must, obviously, but visually it’s hard to make much of an impact without an army of people or lights.  A great illustration is the Cirque [...]

Marino & Esiason

February 4, 2007

We watched part of the Superbowl XLI pre-game show, and were quite appalled at all the discussion about folks who never won a Superbowl and what that means.  The most shocking was Shannon Sharpe’s comment about how your career is defined by whether or not you win a Superbowl, all the while sitting between two [...]

Devin Hester returns the kick?

February 4, 2007

Wow.  Are you kidding me?  How do you not (a) kick away from that guy; and (b) smother him if he accidentally does catch the ball.  Unbelievable that the Colts are already in a 7-point hole.  We picked the Bears to win Superbowl XLI, but we also discussed the fact that we didn’t think there [...]

Dallas Cowboys – Seattle Seahawks game

January 7, 2007

One of the most bizarre NFL games I’ve ever seen had two really weird things happen that you might not have noticed.  First, an offensive lineman for Dallas got called for holding or a false start or something.  The cameras came in for a close up of him, right when he shot the finger to [...]

Vince Young

December 11, 2006

Vince did it again!  The guy has all the talent of Randall Cunningham and Michael Vick, with the leadership ability of Bart Starr and Joe Montana.  Mark our words: Vince will be viewed as the greatest quarterback ever to play this game.  The Houston Texans made a colossal mistake in not drafting him.  The Titans [...]
