No sooner than I posted my frustrations with the New York Jets they decided to spiral even further out of control than I could have imagined. They fired (my boy) Eric Mangenius, tried to hire Bill Cowher and failed miserably and have now gotten on my bandwagon 6 months too late to bash Brett Favre. Serves me right for assuming the Jets had already reached their peak in their pursuit of never ending failure.
Speaking of the Favre bashing, how can he come back next season? How could you possibly be the quarterback for a team where the guy standing behind you (the tailback, Thomas Jones) is carrying the Jackhawk 9000? Pretty poor on Jones’ part. Isn’t that what a locker room is for?
Even ESPN got in on the act of getting my hopes up and tearing them down. Before going to break, ESPN excitedly announced they had breaking news concerning Bill Cowher and the Jets. The next three minutes of commercials were spend in eager anticipation of the breaking news. There it was, the Sportscenter logo. The announcement was imminent. There was Cowher’s picture. Speak, Speak! “The New York Jets are planning on speaking with Bill Cowher.” Oh. My. God. Revolutionary. How could I have survived my day if I didn’t know the Jets were PLANNING on speaking to someone. That’s not breaking news. That’s not even news. It’s almost news. Damn you, ESPN.
After seeing the new Progressive Insurance commercial, I have officially decided it is simply never appropriate to blow one of those noise makers unless you are under 10 years old or completely smashed. The lady in those commercials is annoying on a good day (of which she has had none thus far ) and providing her with noise makers did not help her cause.
Since Georgia won the Capital One Bowl, does that mean we no longer have to see those idiotic commercials (I hate them so much I won’t even provide a link) or stop getting at least one credit card in the mail per week? Please? Is it too much to ask?
Before USC mauled another Big 10 opponent (but really, who hasn’t done that recently?) I thought the pregame coin toss was rather odd. They had one person bring out the coin and another to flip it (perhaps the person who brought it tore a tendon in his thumb). The coin toss was made so idiot-proof that the teams no longer have to call the coin in the air. The sides were minted with either a USC logo or a Penn St. logo to prevent tragedies such as this or this. Who knew calling a coin toss could be so difficult?
Mark Titus officially responded to an email making him the first goal to cross off the list. We’re going to try and get him on the Friday Pregame Show sometime this semester so brace yourselves for that epic encounter.
After accomplishing this goal, I realized that my dreams may not be as far out of reach as I thought (still pretty damn far though). I’m going to mull over a few 2009 goals and get back to you.
Until then, ball hard.
