Geek Talk

Athletes seem to be getting on the blog band wagon. For example Curt Shilling (Red Sox Pitcher for those not in the know) got on the blog train. It’s a real blog, not like the Drew Bledsoe Blog I posted about a few months back. Shilling was talking about it on the radio, so unless WEEI got a fantastic voice impersonator, I’ll believe it.

This was emailed to me, not sure if it’s from a site or some newspaper but here it is! And yes I’m aware the site says Comic geek and I’ve posted two sports posts back to back so… How about that Spider-Man… there’s your fix. Read on for the article!

TonyHomo.com: Drew Bledsoes Blog is dead! It’s a sad day indeed! If you didn’t know what it was it’s someone pretending to be Former star quarterback Drew Bledsoe after he lost his job (again) to a backup (again). Atleast it’s not to football Jesus himself Tom Brady, but someone named Tony Romo who recently stunk it up by screwing up a hold on a field goal, something he’s done all year. Anyway it’s a funny read if you like sports and are from the New England area. If you aren’t go read The Darth Side: Memoirs of a Monster, it’s a Darth Vader Blog!

So I was watching the All-Star home run durby last night and I noticed the NL had yellow and black uniforms and the AL had black and yellow uniforms. They did this because its being played in Pittsburg, home of the Pirates, I assume (yellow and black are the pirates colors… arr). Why not make it like Red White and Blue for every year? You can change the design to keep it fresh, if you’re afraid of that. I just don’t get why all the all-stars have to be come Pirates for 2 days. And there’s my bi-annual sports rant.

I thought I should comment on this.

The superbowl was awful. The football itself sucked, the commericals were subpar and to top it all off, we had no pizza at our party. Now this might be because I know the Patriots would have ripped either of these teams a new one, but it seemed like there were a ton of mistakes and shitty calls by the guys with the terrible towels… I mean penalty flags. Now some key points

• A team coming out to “Bittersweet Symphony” isn’t really going to get a team all jacked up. And to quote someone at my party “My this is so much better than ‘Crazy Train’”.(That was sarcasm incase you were wondering)
• Tom Brady! Doing the coin toss! SeaHawks call tails and tails it is. BRADY KICKS THE STEELERS ASS YET AGAIN. EAT IT BIG BEN!!!
• That Tight End Stevens really can’t hold onto a ball huh?
• Why did the nfl show so many steelers holding the throphy? It’s like they knew the Seahawks would choke… or they told the refs to make them look good.

Now thats what was said at the party. Then Last night I came accross this ESPN article that was awesome. Some Clips for you.

6:11 — I love how everyone copies the 2001 Patriots now — both the Steelers and Seahawks teams were introduced all at once. One catch: For the Seahawks, the same song that ended “Cruel Intentions” (”Bittersweet Symphony”) was playing in the background as they came out. Apparently that choice edged out “Everyday Is Like Sunday” by the Smiths and “You’re Beautiful” by James Blunt. No way they win now. It’s impossible.

6:22 — Tonight’s celebrity coin tosser: The Football Jesus himself, Tom Brady. See, you can’t have a Super Bowl without Belichick and Brady. Seattle calls tails, the toss is tails and they WILL receive - Brady even owns Pittsburgh in the coin toss.

7:37 — Pittsburgh slaps together a few first downs, followed by Hines Ward catching a pseudo Hail Mary lob pass on third-and-28 to get inside the Seattle 3, followed by two Bettis no-gainers against a stacked Seattle line, and then the dumbest sign of the night so far:

ABSOLUTE
BETTIS
CHAMPIONSHIP

I want you to think about this very carefully: Is there anyone in your life who would take the time to make a sign like that, then carry it into the Super Bowl with them? If the answer is “yes,” then you have some soul searching to do, my friend.

So recently I got a late christmas gift from a friend. I open it up to see a patriots jersey with the number 11 on it. Now thats the number of former QB Drew Bledsoe for those not in the know. So I flip it around and in the name it says “DORK”. I thought it was hilarious.

So on Saturday I wore it out to lunch and got a few odd looks and a few “Where did you get that?”. Next year I plan on getting him one that says “GEEK” or maybe “DUMBASS”.

I do however thing the jersey is cursed because on Saturday the patriots lost in the playoffs. They had 5 turnovers, which I think is the most they’ve done in awhile. Damn you Drew Dorkison and your jersey.

Something other than comics! Woah!

First some football background on me. I’m a New England Patriots fan. I have been since they went 1-15… not the best of times to start to like football, but thats when it began. I’ve seen the worse and currently the best of the Patriots going for a 4th super bowl in 5 years, it’s Yankee-like(Baseball). Needless to say I’m a super Patriots fan and like most of the New England fans I’m way too cocky. “Belichick can beat anybody! They should rename the super bowl throphy after him!”.

So I was talking with one of my friends and we came up with a Patriots Drinking game, you could modifiy this for any NFL team I guess.

• 1 for everytime MANKINS is mentioned or seen on screen
• 2 for every comparison of Brady to Joe Montana
• 1 for every Simms complaint… 5 if it involves a snowball
• 1 for every time someone calls Belichick a genius
• 3 for everytime they mention a former coach… 5 if its Rod Rust
• 2 for every Dillion fumble
• 20 if someone makes a point of how ironic that a team once owned by Remington plays at Gilette Stadium
• 3 for everytime they mention someone that isn’t playing in the current game… 10 if they say they’re washed up
• 1 for every promo
• start out drunk if the game is on fox
• 2 for every Maddenism (Saying a noise “Wap”, “Boom”, “Pow”)… -1 if its from Phil Simms

Was reading some RSS feeds and came across this article. It seems Brad Penny challenged a batboy to drink a gallon of milk in one hour without puking and the Marlins suspend the batboy.. How messed up is that? I think this quote from Brad Penny sums it up nicely.

“It’s kind of ridiculous that you get a 10-game suspension for steroids and a six-game suspension for milk,”
