Best Superbowl Commercial Ever!

As we kick-off Superbowl week the subject of commercials always comes up.

I get it -- a lot of them are funny.
But, there's no topping Terry Tate the "office linebacker" when it comes to funny Superbowl commercials.
Every year, companies try...and fail.

Forget Janet Jackson's nekkid breast (at least for a moment).
Terry Tate commercials are the BEST off-the-field Superbowl moments EVER!

Don't believe me?

Here comes the PAIN TRAIN Foo!

Energy Drink Caused Grizzlies Guard Mayo suspension

So, Memphis Grizzlies gaurd OJ Mayo buys an energy drink at the local stop-n-rob and gets suspended.
Ain't that a blip?

Even if you don't believe the guy.
You can not deny the likelihood that an energy drink has a "banned substance" in it.
Have you seen the stuff they put in those crack-in-a-can energy drinks?

Hopefully, Mayo has learned his lesson.
Tyrone Biggums was a great point-guard before the energy-drink crazy hooked him and caused his eventual downfall.
We would hate to lose another talented basketball player to the evils of energy boosting beverages.

Put me in the game Foo!, I mean coach...I'm ready to play!

A story like Mayo's (and Biggums') is exactly why I don't drink energy drinks.

Consider this: I plan on pounding a twelve-pack of barley-pops, a family-size bag of Funyuns, and a box of Flavor Flav's chicken come Superbowl Sunday.
Yet, I will STILL do less harm to my body (and my pocket-book) than Mayo did with that one can of energy drink.
That is the devil's drink I tell you.

Oh well....it's not like OJ has nothing else to worry about right now.
Maybe he can use the 10 day suspension to help dad through his situation.
Or he could spend the 10 days learning to play less troublesome cardgames.
UNO, Go Fish, or Solitaire are almost guaranteed to avoid future issues with his teammates.

Even Kevin Garnett's Shoes Are Loud

Hey KG, can you please turn down the volume on those shoes?
I'm trying to watch the game here!

Yes. These are Boston Celtic Forward Kevin Garnett's shoes.
Yes. Those are Kevin Garnett's eyes staring out over the 152-120 record.

KG will be wearing these trash-talking sneakers during Sunday's Los Angeles Lakers vs Boston Celtics game.

The 152-120 record reflects the Celtics dominance over the Lakers over the years...as if winning 32 more games out of 272 is really something to brag about.
That is pretty damn close to a wash when you look at the number of games, line-ups, and coaches all those games encompass.

Question for you KG: How many of those 152 wins were you a part of?

It's not enough your mouth won't shut-up...but now your shoes are talking trash?
I guess it would be a little easier to accept if you had won more than one championship and/or had shown you could win a championship without having to leave the T'wolves to join the Celtics for some help.
You act like your "the man" on the court, but didn't have the cojones to carry the Minnesota Timberwolves very far.

By the way, can a ref give a shoe a tech?
That sure looks like taunting to me.

OMG! Are the shoes OK Kevin?.....Kevin?.......

Remember the 10

Sad day for college hoop fans and most especially for Oklahoma State University.
10 years ago today - 10 men associated to the OK State basketball program, including two players, died when their plane crashed in Colorado.

REMEMBER THE 10:

KENDALL C. DURFEY

BJORN G. FAHLSTROM

NATHAN Z. FLEMING

WILLIAM R. HANCOCK III

DANIEL P. LAWSON, JR.

BRIAN W. LUINSTRA

DENVER R. MILLS

PAT NOYES

WILLIAM B. TIETGENS (Teegins)

JARED G. WEIBERG

Mad props to UT Basketball -- the team wore the same "Remember the 10" t-shirts that OK State players wore during Monday night's game.

Sweet Home Chicago?

What in the hell is going on in Chicago, IL?
Bears fans are burning and pissing on Cutler jerseys.
Car Salesmen are getting fired for wearing Packer ties.

Jeez...what are they adding to the water in the Windy City?

I'll get right to the point.

My response to the 1st moronic story: 
Burn the jersey. Pee on the jersey. Do what you will with it. It's YOURS.
A wise rocker once had the perfect response to his heavy metal album being burned by relgious zealouts.
He said, "They've got to buy 'em before they can burn 'em".

That's right. You just burned a jersey you paid for.
Next you can flip your car in protest of the automotive industry bailout.
Then burn your house to show your displeasure with the real estate woes in America.
And make sure the news is around to catch your stupid-ass doing these things because I want to laugh watching it from the comfort of my living room while wearing my Chicago Bears Snuggie...which ironically my wife has tried to burn on several occasions...but for wholly different reasons.

My response to the 2nd moronic story:
Dude, take the tie off and keep your job. You've got a family to support.
You just started working there.
Do you really want to tell your wife you lost your job because of your Packers tie?

You think this guy CHOSE to wear this?
His BOSS told him what to wear Foo!

Is the boss within his rights to tell you to remove the tie?
HELL YES!
Employers do it all the time.
It's called a company dress code.
And management usually has the freedom to interpret what is and is not appropriate.
Hell, fast-food joints seem to design ugly uni's for their employees on purpose.

Now, I can hear some of you already,
"Dude. Cut him some slack. He was wearing the tie in honor of his grandma who was a die-hard Packer fan."
You know what -- get out of my face with that garbage.
I mean, he's got my condolences on losing his grandma and all.
But, she passed away on Friday!
If she was such a huge part of his life, what the hell was he doing at work on Monday?!

Dude, she lived in Chicago. You live in Chicago.
Shouldn't you honor your Big Momma by being with your family right now instead of trying to sell cars to Bears fans while sporting that gawd-awful Packers tie?

Alright, whatever.
These people have had more than too much time in the spotlight.
But, as of today, I have vowed to never visit  Chicago...or at least, I won't drink any of their tap-water while there.
There is something screwy in it.

It seems Oprah is the only normal person left in Chicago.
Next thing you know, even she will turn all weird on us and start introducing us to family members no one knew she had and stuff.
Wait a minute.......what the........damn, it's worse than I thought.

NOTE:
I don't really own a Snuggie...from any team.
My wife made me add this because she's afraid someone she knows may read this and find out she's married to a weeny.

Smart Phones Don't Make You Smarter...

Apparently somebody needs to tell guys like Jacksonville Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew that using a smart phone doesn't make you smart...especially when you use it to Twitter the crap he was posting about Chicago QB Jay Cutler.

Jones-Drew and Arizona Cardinals players Kerry Rhodes and Darnell Dockett are a few current NFL players that were  quick to criticize Cutler for his unwillingness to play through a "minor" injury during Sundays NFC Championship game against the Green Bay Packers.

An MRI performed on Monday showed that Cutler suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament (MCL).

Even former NFL player Deion Sanders didn't have nice things to Tweet during the Bears loss on Sunday.
This was a little hard for me to accept considering Sanders avoided A LOT of contact during his playing days and alluded to his unwillingness to play with physical toughness as "making a business decision".
So a guy, who as an NFL player wouldn't take on tough tackles in order to avoid injury and protect his earning potential, feels he has a right to criticize a player who didn't stay in a game after spraining his MCL?
Do us all a favor Deion -- STFU.

All Ex-NFL players who are now "expert" commentators heaping criticism on Cutler should be ignored because...well, because they are EX-NFL PLAYERS...they no longer play.
And because they no longer play -- they are now more media personality than athlete.

However, it's not so easy to ignore the comments made by current NFL players.
These are guys who play alongside Cutler in today's tough NFL environment.
An environment where players in the last ten years have become faster, stronger, and more likely to cause injury.
How anyone who shares that livelihood could question the toughness of a colleague is beyond me.

If I only had a Smart Phone

I can only attribute it to good old fashioned stupidity.

It's good to see some Bear team-mates coming to his defense.
But, I'd like to see current NFL players from other teams blast Jones-Drew and others who rushed to publicize their dumb opinions for their bad judgement.

Anyone in doubt about Jay Cutlers toughness needs to remember the physical torture he endured during the 2007 season when he was losing strength and losing weight every week while playing with diabetes.
Jay Cutler didn't know he was diabetic at the time.
He didn't know what the cause of his poor health was...he just knew something was wrong.
Yet, he played through the physical limitations then and he has played through them since.

This whole situation says a lot more about Jones-Drew, Rhodes, Dockett, and others like them than it does about Cutler. Those players need to spend less time working on their Twitter accounts and more time wondering why they were watching the NFC/AFC Championships instead of playing in them.

In the end, those critical NFL players may have more heart than a guy like me...but they sure don't have more brains. And I'm okay with that.

Here's my Smart-Ass license photo. This proves I'm smart.

Respect the Billycock's brains Foo!

Cowboy fans...I'm sorry.

Packers and Steelers are coming to celebrate.
Don't know who's winning, but I know who's losing...DALLAS COWBOY FANS.

I guess the Packers representing the NFC is better than the Philadelphia Eagles or New York Giants from a Cowboy fan perspective.
But, not by much.

Yet, the worst part is who is coming in for the AFC.
Could it get any worse for Cowboy fans than having the Steelers coming in for the AFC?
I don't think so.

The Steelers are already one-up on the Cowboys in overall Superbowl wins at 6.

The Cowboys are currently tied with the San Francisco 49ers at 5 over-all Superbowl wins.
So I guess the true nightmare match-up would have been the 49ers vs the Steelers in this year's Superbowl.
However, that was never a real threat...what with the 49ers having as bad a record as the Cowboys this year.

Still, you have got to feel bad for Dallas Cowboy fans...especially if the Steelers win.
Watching the Steelers celebrate Superbowl win number seven in Jerry-World will be like having your girl bring a date to your house for Valentines Day dinner. OUCH!

For Cowboy fans, it's not enough that Tony Romo's shoulder is broken, every member of the coaching staff is unproven in their positions or proven to be lousy in their positions, and there's more holes on their roster than a good GM could fill in a single offseason (much less Jerry Jones).

No, all of that is not enough.
Now the Football Gods have seen fit to send the Steelers into Jerry-World for what will likely be Superbowl victory number seven.

Can it get any worse for the Cowboy-nation?
 Yes. I hear that, after the Black Eyed Peas perform at half-time, Terrell Owens is scheduled to come out and dance the Soulja Boy in the middle of the sacred blue star on the fifty yard-line while wearing his old 49er uni.
Then, just for kicks, Mean Joe Green will get on a lift and pull Roger Staubach's name off of the ring of honor before chugging a Coca-Cola (thereby destroying Jerry Jones' Pepsi contract).

Yeah I can see it happening.
And all I can say is "I'm sorry".

Now watch me yooouuu...Now watch me yooouuu...

Joe Buck and Troy Aikman Rule

AFC and NFC championships today - I figure CBS and Fox would put their respective all-star announcer duos to work.
If CBS' can do no better than Jim Nantz and Phil Simms, I just found another reason I like watching NFL games on Fox over CBS.

Joe Buck and Troy Aikman got the NFC Championship game on Fox today.
Watching the CBS AFC game later in the day with the Nantz/Simms team announcing was painful.

Buck and Aikman have a good chemistry...certainly better chemistry on-air than Nantz and Simms.
They compliment each other well and just seem to have a more intelligent view of the game than their CBS counterparts.

Comparing the performance of each team member, Joe Buck and Jim Nantz may be a wash.
But, in a head-to-head match-up of color analysts, Aikman over Simms becomes the deciding factor.
When someone with as many skins on the wall as Aikman has talks about the game, you should listen.
Besides, Aikman has the biggest skin on the wall absent from Simms' trophy case -- The Hall of Fame induction.

Barring a miraculous reunion between John Madden and Pat Summerall, I think the Buck/Aikman duo is as good as it gets these days.

Now, regarding the other networks' NFL commentators, let me say this...

NBC (Sunday Night Football)
Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth are very good.

Yes. Gruden is THAT good at talking football

These guys are easily one of the better commentator duos.
They come up a close second or third behind Aikman and Buck.

ESPN (Monday Night Football)
Mike Terico and John Gruden do a pretty good job.
In fact, I can listen to John Gruden talk football almost as long as I can watch Beyonce dance.
That's a loooong you-better-pack-a-lunch long time.

But, I absolutely hate listening to Ron Jaworski talk about anything...especially football.
I mentioned Phil Simms having few skins in his trophy case.
Jaworski doesn't even own a trophy case!
Yet he talks about the game as if he were one of the best NFL QB's of all time.
Hell! He isn't even a top 3 Philadelphia Eagles QB of all time!

But I digress...this isn't about Jaws, Gruden, Madden, or Nantz.
This is about Beyonce.
Errr, I mean, this is about Joe Buck and Troy Aikman...and Beyonce.
C'mon! I have got to include Beyonce....did you SEE that pic above for christ's sake!?! 
(Man! I HATE Jay-Z)

Anyway -- Mad props to Buck and Aikman.
They are the best in the biz...and they made a great commercial, too:

Everything Old is New Again...Or Something Like That

Johnny Damon and Manny Ramirez are teaming up again.
This time with the Tampa Bay Rays.
They each just signed a one year deal with the Rays.

So as the saying goes: Everything Old is New Again.
Err, in this case it's more accurate to say: Everything New is Old

Don't get me wrong. This is a GREAT move by the Rays....except it's 2011 not 2004.
These guys are OLD...just look at the photo below.
That's them playing for the Boston Red Sox!

Manny & Damon celebrate Manny's first home-run with the Red Sox

Seriously though, I think the Rays will be ok...so long as other teams don't hit the ball to the outfield...and no one expects Manny to field a ball...and no one expects Damon to reach the infield with any of his throws.

Set the right expectations Tampa fans and yeah...all will be fine.


For the record: Photo above is actually the great Reggie Smith who played for several MLB teams from the late 60's through the early 80's.

I don't remember buying a Porsche

My buddy: "Did you hear about that stupid football player and his Porsche?"
Me: "Oh shit, what did Ben Roethlisberger do now!"
My buddy: "What?"
Me: "Aww Hell! First he plays crash-dummy on a motorcycle he didn't know how to ride and now a Porsche!?! Doesn't he know how close the Steelers are to the Superbowl?"
My buddy: "What are you talking about?"

Then I realized...my buddy was born in Scotland.
His English sucks.
His "football" is the wrong kind of "football".
His "football" is what normal people call "soccer".

So check-it: Pro footballer, err - I mean, pro soccer player, Jermain Pennant, left a Porsche parked at a train station for MONTHS because he forgot he owned a Porsche.

Way to go dude.
That will surely change the perceptions that pro athletes are overpaid and jocks are dumb.

Damn Foo! At least I know where I parked my car!

Deer Diary...

What will these crazy athletes start using next?
Scratch that -- I don't want to know.

For now, it's enough to know they're using deer antlers.
Who would have thunk it?! DEER ANTLERS!!

Funny, but as I look back at an old Ray Lewis file photo, it becomes so obvious.
How could I have NOT known?

Fear the Deer Foo!

Hindsight truly is 20/20.

BC MAFIA FOO!

File this under the "shut up Foo!" category

Mavericks Jason Terry made some crazy stupid comments after Wednesday night's game versus the Lakers.
For those that didn't see the post-game interview with Terry as he left the court last night, here's his BS paraphrased:

When asked about his having such a good game against the Lakers:  "I step up when my team needs me".

Really?
This is the same guy that went 1 for 18 from beyond the 3-point line during the Mavericks recent six-game losing streak.
Yes.
This is also the same guy that during that losing streak went 7 of 28 shooting overall.

1-FOR-18 BAYBEEEEEEEE!  I'M ON FIRE!

For those that don't follow the NBA or for those that only follow the good players you will not know Jason Terry.
But you may know Dirk Nowitzki.
Dirk was recently hurt and missed several games...hence the losing streak.

Way to step up while Dirk was out Jason Terry.
Funny how you found your shooting touch at the exact same time Dirk got back on the court and got back to his usual balling self.

Just admit it Jason -- you're only a baller in your own mind and in the mind of hardcore (ie disillusioned) Mav fans.
Without Dirk, you ain't squat.
