The Blown Whistle on That Seahawks Incomplete Pass that was a fumble
The Seahawks WR just caught the ball, made a football motion (a turn), and put feet down, as the steelers player hit him and the ball popped loose. Unfortunately the refs blew the whistle for an incomplete pass, blowing the play dead, and unreviewable. In my opinion the refs never get this call right, because […]

The Diet Pepsi Commercials
Without being disgusting, I can’t imagine that “Brown and Bubbly” is the best tagline for well, anything. I’ll leave it at that. One star, if only because part of marketing is getting “the people” to talk about it in any capacity.

Food (supplied by Primo)
Mmm…. mozzarella, prosciutto, and other Italian words I probably can’t spell very well. The Suprimo and Turkey Diablo. Best sandwiches ever. 1/2 star off for a necessary lack of variety.

Interesting mood to set, a playful tone instead of a competitive one. The opening gets four stars for being well made, and an interesting and […]

The Superbowl 2006 “Preview Show”
In order to predict the outcome of this year’s Superbowl, we used the best tool in our repertoire to predict the outcome: John Madden NFL 98 for Sega Genesis. It was a tense game, filled with back and forth scoring. Nate’s Steelers came up short after a risky “going for it” on 4th down situation […]

The 2006 Puppy Bowl
Hey, it’s better than watching the Jets As a warm-up to the Superbowl, Animal Planet is offering a marathon of the Puppy Bowls from years past. For the uninitiated, the Puppy bowl is at least an hour or so of about 7 or 8 puppies running around in a miniature stadium, made of cardboard. Multiple […]
