Direct TV Ruined a Great Movie

That scene was hilarious. I used to love it. Now Direct TV has ruined it for me. They spoofed it in Direct TV fashion with David Spade. I don’t know if it’s because the movie was so funny or maybe the fact that Chris Farley has been dead for a number of years, but it just came off to me as being wrong.

At least they haven’t touched this scene.

Making Fun of a Young Chris Collinsworth

A few weeks back. There was a video on the internet that showed a Young Chris Collinsworth talking about his views on dating. It was an interesting video that deserved to be mocked and made fun of. So that’s what I did.

0:52 Shitty dancing. Why doesn’t anybody bust out the cha-cha on a dance floor?

0:58 My friend Ryan makes that face when he knows he’s going to get laid. I’d assume this is the generic white guy face for getting laid. A.K.A. shiteating grin

1:03 He looks high as a kite or just dumb.

1:06 If I walked around with 100 dollar bills hanging out of my pocket,I’d be pussy magnet. Hookers love me you know?

1:11 So you do admit before you had no money at all youwere a chronic masturbator! Do you really want to tell the world that? I mean come on!

1:16 Hmm, so you like them cute and dumb. They cant be that great of a lay. I’d perfer that they be emotionally unstable.

1:20 The punk rockers?! This is cleary an 80’s thing. I guess now we call them goth.

1:23 High school girls?! Wow! You played football in high school in Florida and you couldn’t get laid. You know what, I cant fault you for this. If I were 22 and have 100 dollar bills falling out of my pockets I’d get a BJ from a 17 year old. Better from me than someone that doesnt know what they are doing.

1:25 Whoa, there cowboy! 14 year old sex leads to prison rape! DO. NOT. WANT.

1:28 His dance moves arent getting him laid at all.

1:36 Wooderson! That’s a man I’d take dating advice from!

College Football-gasm: The Big Four

Ohio State vs UCS

After watching this game, you came away seeing two things.

1. USC with Matt Barkley looks really human
2. Terrelle Pryor needs to develop an arm

We’re used to see USC teams come into town and run up the score on almost everyone they play. This is usually due to the fact that their roster is extremely deep. Their starters, have had some playing experience. Even last year, former USC quarterback Mark Sanchez saw some time as a starter before he took the job in the 2008 season.

With Matt Barkley a true freshman running the show on offense, they seemed at time overwhelmed by playing on the road. At times they seem confused and slow. Granted, with more playing time Barkley will be a pretty good player but with games coming up against Cal, Oregon and Notre Dame (all on the road) USC could face a one or even two loss season if Barkley plays in those games.

As for Pryor, he needs to show that he’s more than a running threat. Pryor due to his build has been compared favorably to Vince Young the former Texas Longhorn quarterback. When Young played at Texas, we wasn’t afraid to throw the ball. He wasn’t the best at throwing the ball but defenses did respect the fact that Young could hurt them if he stayed in the pocket. With Pryor, he looks ready to run first and throw second. He doesn’t seem as comfortable throwing the ball, as of now.

Ohio State could have won this game, if the passing game had worked. If Pryor can develop his arm by the time Ohio State plays Penn State, then they should finish the season with some quality wins only having one loss. If not, then Michigan has a shot at beating Ohio State this year.

Notre Dame vs Michigan

Wow.

This game makes me love football so much more. :)

Both teams fighting for their seasons and possibly for their coaches jobs left everything they had on the field. It came down to the last play and if you’re a fan of either of these programs there are some things you can smile and wince about.

Tate Forcier looks like a big time player. I’m not ready to proclaim him as the Tim Tebow of the North, but he has played well in a big game. To see that kind of composure from a true freshman is great to see. However I would like to see him play against a stronger defense. The games against Penn State as well as a road game against Michigan State could tell us a lot about him as a big time college player.

Michigan needs to find a defense. If they can find that, then big blue will be back as football power house. Also it will shut everyone else up about the Big Ten conference being slow.

Jimmy Clausen has grown up. He’s playing well and with the exception of a questionable passing calls with three minutes left on the clock Notre Dame could have won this game. This offense looks like its ready to make some noise.

The game against USC will be the litmus paper test for Notre Dame. It might be the game that decides the fate of Notre Dame head coach Charlie Weis. He needs to call a almost perfect game on offense and the defense can’t give up so many points.

I know it’s early to say but it looks like the luck of these four programs have switched.

This Guy Is Supposed to Save American Tennis!?!?

Once I heard this news, I did the exact same thing that Kyle did below.

So once again he played great, but lost. I think it’s time we face facts here. The kid doesn’t have the stuff to win major tournaments. When he had no pressure and no backing he lost. Now he came into the U.S. Open full of confidence and what happens? He lost.

If the tennis media wants the second coming of Andre Agassi, they’re going to be waiting for a while. Simply put, playboy isn’t going to be that guy.

This brought back some memories….

The A-Team

I heard that Hollywood was going to make a movie about the A-team.The A-team one of my favorite TV-shows from childhood. So, I know I’m in for a huge let down when the movies comes out. Simply put, TV shows that are made into movies usually don’t transition well. There are exceptions to this rule but the majority of them are awful.

The A-team movie will be one of these movies. Mostly because, casting for a movie like this is tough. Do you go with unknown actors or do you go for big names actors ?

Big budget movies requires big name actors. This movie so far, in its casting so far has followed the same rule. Liam Neeson will be in this movie (Big name actor). Brad Cooper will be in this movie as well (An actor who’s getting his big break now,so I’m listing him as a big name)

There is one unknown actor that’s getting into this movie. He’s know better in MMA circles. Quiton “Rampage’ Jackson will be in this movie as Mr. T!

At least the role didn’t go to a rapper. Then again, the rapper wouldn’t dry hump people during a interview.

My God, this movie will suck.

Math

Everyone has a hard time with math. This video proves it. On a roster of 25 guys only one guy figures it out.

A letter to Stephon Marbury

Dear Stephon,

Dude. What the fuck? I mean really, what the fuck???

You’re out of work. I know how that feels. It gives you a bunch of idle time. Streaming on justin.tv seems like a great idea to keep in touch with your fans. However, you don’t have to show them all how you went bat-shit insane!

I know the economy is bad enough that some NBA team won’t give you 20 million dollars a year to shit sit on their bench. There is Europe. They want NBA players. You can find something there. If you keep doing this, no one will really want to commit a seven figure salary to an aging point guard that shoots first and pisses off his teammates second.

Hoping you get your sanity back,

Eli Manning: Franchise Quarterback

So I woke up today, and checked out ESPN like I always do. They reported that Eli Manning got a contract extension that makes him one of the highest paid players in the NFL. As a giants fan, I was excited to hear the news. Since trading for Manning in 2004 NFL draft, the Quarterback position has been stable for a team who had had a history of stop gap solutions for Quarterbacks since 1993.

In The five years he’s worn Giants Blue, He has been consistent in his stats. He been able to manage the game. Plus, he’s been able to deal with his favorite target shooting himself in the leg like Cheedar Bob, his former starting running back to question his leadership and his current GM calling the signal caller “skittish”.

Now there are some out there especially those at ESPN who will say Eli Manning is not a top tier quarterback. He is not a guy that can carry a team like a Tom Brady or a Phillip Rivers. Eli never have a big year where his stats were out of this world. Granted his numbers don’t look amazing, he has had a knack for 4th quarter Come back wins. He knows how to win games. He’s done a great job of dealing with the New York media as high draft pick. We all know some guys aren’t capable of dealing with a San Diego media.

if you still don’t feel after all of this he’s still not worth it. Take a look at this little stat I came up with. 9 Quarterbacks in the league today have been to a Super Bowl. Only 5 of them have won a least one Super Bowl.

If we’re talking value to their franchise winning percentage, media savy, high football IQ and someone who can remain calm in high pressure situations then Eli is the definition of a franchise QB. The organization can pay him as they see fit.

Andy, If you Ain't First, You're Last!

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Loser!!!! (takes breath)Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Your best Andy, will never ever be good enough. Take in the praise for you hard thought match but you don’t deserve it. Federer only made it close because he got nervous that Pete Sampras was watching him.

You’ll flame out in the U.S. open especially if Nadal makes his return and you’ll go back to obscurity. So take it enjoy your last ride. You will never find your mojo. Hey at least you can win at pong.

Loser.
