haddonfield, nj - i'm glad i moved out!

http://www.mastalk.com/inquirer/10_17_07.htm

check out these links and this story from haddonfield, nj.  it's a ritzy, spritzy, spoiled, overindulgent town filled with people who have too much money and not enough brains to know what to do with it.  a few years ago there was a party at which a bunch of teens trashed a house and actually had sex with the stuffed animals of a child who lived there.  they also crapped all over a piano.  since then, the town recognized that the spoiled kids where doing too much drinking, so the school installed a 24/7 alcohol policy which allowed them to punish students who abuse alcohol no matter when they used it - weekends, holidays, zero tolerance.

believe it or not, a parent, who also is an attorney, wants to fight the policy.  doesn't that obviously show that the parents in that town are actually fighting FOR underage drinking?  WTF?

who dat? no, really, who da hell dat?

congrats to the saints.  after more than 40 years of nothing, you did it, and you beat one of the best quarterbacks to ever pick up a ball.  it was a great game on both sides of the ball, including special teams in a big way.

nobody comes to my blog to read about the superbowl, so i won't recap the game. 

but there is one thing that i have to ask:



what the hell was kim kardashian doing on the nfl network set after the game?  just because she's currently greasing up reggie bush, we have to watch her bring the show to a grinding halt?  we had to watch as rich eisen, already known to pay too much attention to pretty women who aren't his wife, actually stopped talking long enough to watch kardashian prance her way to the stage?

and to make matters worse, she totally shut the man up.  there's reggie, his big moment, super bowl champ, and media whore kk takes the stage to tell everyone how much the game meant to reggie.  WTF?  yo' biatch!  in case you didn't notice, reggie was actually there.  let HIM tell us how important the game was.  we don't want to hear from you unless you're asking us if we want the heels on or off.  other than that, i don't want to see your mouth open unless something is going in and not if something is coming out.

someone please remind her that she's only famous for two things: 

1. her father helped OJ go free. 
2. a big ass.

serena williams vs. barry bonds

hmmm...

sports uniforms

it's no secret that i love sports, but i also love sports uniforms - except basketball.  i like watching for subtle changes, the good, the bad, and the ugly.  let's talk about bad and ugly.

i hate the new vikings unforms, mainly because i don't like the new purple color.

here's the old       

and the new.

the cinncinati reds have the most boring uniforms in baseball.

although i love the yankees, the atlanta braves have the best uniforms.

the mets, with pinstripes, are excellent too:

as for colors, no teams should be allowed to wear black except:

boston bruins

pittsburgh steelers

oakland raiders

in case you're interested, the chicago bears aren't black.  they're a really deep navy blue.  no baseball team should ever wear a black jersey.  no football team should have a black alternate jersey.  like these by the eagles:

in fact, no team should have any alternate uniforms, especially something like this insult to one of the greatest sports teams in history:

and finally, the best sports jersey ever, which is not at all one of my favorite teams:

the F-word

We have the “f” word, the “n” word, the “s” word. We call people “b” instead of bitch. We have all kinds of words that are bleeped and/or inappropriate, but I heard something recently that I just can’t accept.

A while back there was an actor who was fired from Grey’s Anatomy for calling someone a faggot. I could look up the guy’s name, but I don’t care enough. More importantly, I was listening to a great radio show out of Philadelphia on a rock station, WMMR. The show is called "Preston and Steve." Anyway, as Preston was talking about the firing of the actor, he referred to the incident as “using the 6-letter F word.” I almost crashed.

Are you shitting me? We can’t say “faggot” anymore? We have to say “the 6-letter F word”? The host of the show wasn’t calling anyone “faggot.” He was just referring to the fact that someone else called someone “faggot.”

I grew up in the 70’s. “Fag” was an everyday word, but “fag” had nothing to do with “gay.” “Fag” meant someone who wasn’t cool in some way. It was someone who did something that was wrong, something that they should have known not to do. If someone told the teacher that you were cheating on a test, they were a fag. If you couldn’t stay out past 9 on a weekend, you were a fag.

I know now that the word “fag” is too closely tied to “gay,” and I know that it’s negative. I know now that if I call someone “fag,” I’m going to be accused of subconsciously saying that being gay is not cool, but that’s never what we meant. We didn’t care if people were gay. People weren’t gay. They were people who happened to be gay, but they were people first. They still are.

You can be a fag without being gay, and you can be gay without being a fag. I don’t care if you’re gay, but don’t be a fag.

throw back the throwbacks

i love the nfl.  i really loved the nfl back in the 70's when it wasn't all about espn, end zone displays, and endorsements.  back then it was all about the game and the players.  it was about those stickers on the bananas, electric football, and the sunoco nfl stamp book.  now, it's been ocho cinco-ed to death. 

a few years back, the nfl thought of a brilliant way to make money - throwback uniforms.  it's all about what they can sell.  the problem is that the 70's were full of brilliant throwback uniforms, but the nfl doesn't agree.  they've gone waaaay too far (throw)back.  the rule should be that no throwback is valid unless there is someone alive who actually saw the given team wearing the given uniforms.

here are some examples of bad throwbacks:

new york jets

denver broncos

philadelphia eagles

now, some real throwbacks:

that about says it all.

someone came to me today with a website and said, "hey, is this your website?  are you responsible for this?"

i checked it out and thought it was damn hilarious.  i also was jealous that it was NOT my site.

please check it out.

it's someone who goes on craigslist, finds interesting ads with things for sale, services, etc.  they e-mail interest, but it's a joke, and they see how long they can keep the person going until they're told to get lost, f- off, don't even reply, something like that.

please check it out.
