I am ready to headbutt somebody!!! or How two teams I hate made Super Bowl XLII the most exciting one ever.

The above play literally made me jump out of my chair and look for someone or something to headbutt. I was so excited about the Patriots not winning the Super Bowl that as I perused this here internet earlier today, several thoughts came to mind. First, you can almost hear this guy crying. Priceless stuff. Also, another thought ocurred to me: what happened to Donte' Stallworth? Jabar Gaffney? And other than the pass interference call in the end zone, Ben Watson? Far too many names that weren't called last night for the Pats. All of that adds up to the result we all saw. Anyway, in keeping with the general theme of elation, this clip is good for a hindsight chuckle or two, and these guys have put together a pretty comprehensive compendium on the history of choking. All in all, a pretty good day for a Monday. I'm just glad that we won't have to listen to the Patriots for the next 35 years talking about how they are the only team to go 19-0. Mercury Morris is surely annoying, but Rodney Harrison (he of the HGH suspension), Tedy Bruschi (did you know he had a stroke?), Mike Vrabel (did you know that they sometimes use him as a goal line tight end?), Juniour Seau (pile jumper), Tom Brady (did you know he's dating a supermodel and fathered a child out of wedlock with his actress ex-girlfriend?) and Bill Belichick (cheater) would be much worse. Combine that cast of undesirables with the obnoxious Boston fanbase, and the NFL would be almost unwatchable for the forseeable future. Having to live in a world where Eli Manning is a Super Bowl MVP is a fair trade in my opinion.

The President's on! He's on every channel!

While you watch President Bush's last State of the Union address, here's a quick update on ACC hoops.

  1. Duke (17-1, 5-0) Not sold on these guys yet. Tough to take them seriously when Scheyer continues to see meaningful minutes
  2. UNC (19-1, 4-1) These guys are good. Hansbrough is a beast, and they'll be battle tested by March. Be prepared to see lots of them later in the season.
  3. Boston College (12-6, 3-2) Haven't seen alot of them, but haven't been impressed from what I have seen.
  4. Clemson (15-5, 3-3) Too much like their football team: fast start, fall apart late.
  5. Virginia Tech (12-8, 3-3) Athletically gifted, they seem to have a little trouble staying focused. Could have beaten Duke if they weren't so preoccupied with playing physical.
  6. Georgia Tech (10-9, 3-3) Left for dead after Young and Crittendon defected to the NBA after last year, they seem to have found their legs somewhat, playing Kansas and UNC very tough, and ripping off three straight conference wins over Virginia Tech, NC State, and Virginia.
  7. Miami (15-4, 2-3) Talented backcourt, but not sure they have all they need to make it to the tournament.
  8. NC State (13-6, 2-3) Probably better than most expected. Need to be able to steal a couple of tough road games before they are considered legit.
  9. Wake Forest (12-6, 2-3) Again, haven't seen much, but unless Tim Duncan's walking through that door (and he's not), it's not their year.
  10. Maryland (12-8, 2-3) Probably the most dangerous of the three loss teams. The win over UNC could signal good things to come.
  11. Florida State (13-8, 2-4) If they can't get Jenn Sterger on board, why should anyone pay attention?
  12. Virginia (11-7, 1-4) Trendy preseason "team to watch" hasn't lived up to expectations. Solid backcourt, but they need to put it together. Losing at home to a less talented Georgia Tech team is definitely not a good sign.

We'll try to be back tomorrow with more fun.

Cloverfield


We just got back from seeing Cloverfield, and our official verdict is: meh. The monster was pretty cool, but we've seen Blair Witch before. To the right, you see the funniest opinion we have seen on what the monster looks like. We were marginally excited to see it, but we did enjoy this trailer. Also, we can't wait for this. Should be a good summer for movies.

Here we go...

We would like to post here more often, but we have a difficult time finding enough content that we have enough of an opinion on to post that much. We do, however, know a good idea when we see it, and we're not above borrowing it (with proper credit given, of course).
  • This is sure to send obnoxious, neurotic Bostonians into a frenzied panic.
  • This guy just might be the antidote to all things Federer, and winning the Australian Open could put him on a roll.
  • Here's some proof that models are crazy people.
  • We just started playing with this, and it's dangerously addictive.

We might be back later in the day with some more random fun.

Note: We'll give all our link sources credit in the tags. That way, they'll all stay organized and you can find everything easier.
