Blog: December 2007 Archives
Blog: Hope For A New Day....
I asked for DirecTV stories, and BOY did you folks deliver! I beg of you: shut off the spigot! Here's a good little read for everybody who has the service, and some more knowledge to store away the next time you deal with customer service. Happy Holidays. Wish me luck!
And so, the saga continues. I could fill up countless pages I’m sure, of tales of DirecTV installer/upgrade woes and horror stories. Missed appointments, wrong equipment, shoddy workmanship, mysterious upcharges. I won’t try to do that here. I’ll just share my own experience.
Your Wedensday random blog whip-around ponders if A-Rod did himself any favors by performing a Do-It-Yourself contract without the devil by his side. Plus, is Flounder from Animal House the doppleganger lookalike of a well known sports TV personality? All here, all free. Like I could justify charging anybody for this crap!
Blog: Professional Effort
There’s a lot to be said for simple professionalism. Getting the job done, when it needs to be done, with a level of competence appropriate for the job. Witness the Redskins dispatching of the butterfingered NY Giants Sunday night 22-10.
Already several players have said: “Yeah, you got me.” Light hitting journey-scrub F.P. Santangelo. Catcher Gary Bennett, member of the 2006 World Champion Cardinals, also copped to using both ‘roids and HGH. Now, with the loudest bang, Andy Pettitte too.
Blog: Cooperstown Outcasts
The Mitchell Report has finally landed, and with a resounding boom! The names of previously whispered, but never dared to name names have made the "naughty" list. The biggest: Clemens. No more whispering, as the repercussions of this will now be yelled about at full force, for weeks on end. Will it mean a card table of banned HOF autographs for these three?
Blog: Petrino... Out.
Arthur Blank needs to stop pouting. I heard his tough talk presser about Bobby Petrino leaving, and it was frankly pathetic. Leaving before the “job was done.” Please. What “job.” The job of being 3-10, with a mutinous roster, and one of the worst offenses in the league?
You can have all the signed contracts you want. Until Michigan rolls out their new head man, I'm going to keep an eye on ol' slippery Les. More in the Wednesday 10-pack of deep fried nuggets includes Greg Norman's new squeeze, and the first weekly "Van Brocklin" award.
Who knew that snow is a "prop?" But not, apparently, popcorn. Terrell Owens famous “Popcorn Snarf Celebration” on Thursday night against the Packers went unflagged. And let’s be honest. It was staged as hell! A guy on the SIDELINE, just happened to have a FULL bucket of popcorn, and GLADLY gave it up to him, on the spur of the moment? Puh-lease!
Blog: Awakenings!
I don’t quite think enough is being made of how freakishly good Todd Collins looked in beating the Bears off the bench on Thursday night. I know he once started in this league. I know he started at Michigan. I know he is “familiar” with Al Saunders’ system.
Tonite, Bryant Gumbel invades my television. Nobody asked him to. At least not real football fans who have been loathing his inept play-by-play on NFL Network games. No, Bryant was forced upon us by some Madison Avenue marketing pinhead who probably thought that the NFL Network needed a “marquee name” in the booth to help launch its coverage of the league.
Sean Taylor has been laid to rest. May his family and friends find peace somehow, in the long days and months to come. There’s not much more you can say about something so senseless. But is there any “lesson” to take out of this? Perhaps it’s this: athletes today must take extreme precautions about their home, money, and safety.
Blog: Confusion & Delusion
In the news business, a famous person’s obituary is often largely written in advance, once it’s clear that a person has approached death. They call it putting an obit “in the can” so it can be popped out and updated once the inevitable occurred.
Blog: A Fine Tangled BCS Mess
And thus, a wild and entertaining year of football, ends with an unsatisfying “Championship” game because there’s simply not two teams out there which stand out as worthy of our attention a full week after New Year’s Day.
