gearing up for nfl 2009

Kissing Suzy Kolber is, for the most part, genius. Want a list of reasons? Okay.

a. The name itself is just awesome. My old roommate Dan and I were watching that interview, and we could not believe what we were seeing. Excessive drinking on live TV rules.

b. It's a bunch of wiseass second (or third) career writers slagging shit about the NFL and sports in general. ie. my dream job.

c. Well, I guess that's it. Other than the content.

Anyway. I'm a 49ers fan, have been since Superbowl XXIII when Joe Montana beat the Bengals with a stunning 2-minute drill. (Okay okay, 3-minute drill. Whatever. Why don't you F-off and go practice your 3-minute drill?) Now I'm fan enough to know that compared to the Montana and Young eras, we suck. We're not the Tampa Bay of the '80s, but we sure were/are close and time will only tell if we can save the good name of Eddie Debartolo Jr.

Anyway. I digress. This KSK post about the NFC west is hilarious, and possibly pretty accurate. I dunno, the division is a crap shoot - operative word crap, ha ha - same as last year. Still. Damn I love the NFL.

PS: I gotta try that popcorn bucket thing sometime. Inspired!

brit-brit worse than previous brit-brit!

Top 5 quotes from BritFar's press conference yesterday.

When you ask, What is wrong with this guy? - just look to commenter no.6 who nails it. "Two decades of everyone hanging from your nuts changes a man." No shit.

Anyone caught wearing a Jets 4 jersey should be institutionalized, and anyone with the purple #4 should be pitied.

sad day edition 7.14e285

I've always been a Fender man myself, but the passing of the great Les Paul is something that truly marks the end of an era.

ao scott on john hughes

Remarkably poignant NY Times article, if you're the right age, on John Hughes' passing and legacy.

Thanks to my friend Dennis, the Wyatt to my Gary (and in this strange version, directed by John Woo, Lisa is played by Michelle Yeoh), for the link.

trust me, I'm a doctor

Hey, is anyone else now ignoring the fact that Dr Pepper tastes like something that was recently expelled from the kidneys of an 80 year old woman who ate a jar of maraschino cherries yesterday, and drinking it because of Dr Dre? Or is it just me. Hm.



Seriously, the man is convincing.
