15 Favorite Sports Moments of the Year
You know, if we would’ve sent Sacha BARON Cohen instead, he probably wouldn’t have fallen. Indy-Pittsburgh Divisional playoff game-Most exciting football game of the year. With the Steelers threatening to put the game away with under two minutes left, (after a disputed non-interception call, an Indy touchdown to put the game within three, and Peyton […]

Game 3 of the LaFrance China vs. LaFrance US Basketball Series
Chinese people love their basketball. Playing, watching, talking about it, assuming that the black guy that’s over here for four weeks is both an engineer and in the NBA (because he’s black, duh). They love it the way the same way that noted friend of The Bookshelf™ (Josh) Calloway loves ginger ale. Score: 92-80 US […]

That new U2/Green Day Song
I guess I just don’t understand the point. U2 needed a single for their approximately fifth greatest hits collection. Rather than come up with a really good song themselves, they enlisted the help of a band that while good, just doesn’t seem like the right fit with U2: Green Day. Not that Green Day can’t […]

Other People Stealing Your Ideas Without Ever Having Met You or Knowing that They Stole Something
Longest. Title. Ever. If only they could save the baseball team from utter anihilation. I’ll try not to make this like Dan’s “Half-Inventing Stuff” review, even though there are some thematic similarities. What spawned the idea for this topic was actually two events hat occurred in the past month, both of which involved people doing […]

Superbowl overall
Well…. it was a game. The Steelers did win. Other than that, the game was pretty boring. The commercials weren’t all that great. The halftime show was kinda lame… not that i’m a huge fan of the rolling stones and all. I’d rate this game higher than the Ravens-Giants Superbowl, but lower than the Eagles-Patriots […]

Football (in general) pt.2
In response to my own review about football… As quickly as games get more interesting, they can just as easily slow baaaaaacckkk doooowwn. Hopefully the end will pick up a little bit. [rate 2.0] There are 52 seconds left, and it just seems like the Seahawks aren’t going to get it done. When the end […]

The Steelers’ Interception
Wow. that was a game saving play if I ever saw one. I have to grade this two different ways. [rate 5] Steelers get five stars. [rate 0] Seahawks get none. update…. steelers just pulled out the five-star touchdown play… i realize i’m just throwing out the five-stars and possibly devaluing them… but whatever… see […]

Football (in general)
The Seahawks just scored a touchdown+extra point, and the score is now 14-10 Steelers. When it was 14-3 (only one score difference), and the Steelers were driving at the Seahawks’ 10 yard line, it wasn’t even an interesting game. All it took to turn around was one interception and the ensuing touchdown. Baseball, soccer, you […]

The Half-Time Show
Similar to Nate’s review of Tom Brady’s coin toss, this one writes itself. If you like the Rolling Stones, it was great. If not…well, it was the Rolling Stones. I recognize the difficulty in picking a half-time show that appeals to everyone, and obviously in light of that difficulty, whoever is in charge of the […]
