Can/Will Hillary Admit to a Mistake?

I've been one of the few people I know, who has attempted to remain neutral on Hillary Clinton, when most others are either strongly in favor of or strongly opposed to her.

One problem I've been having with her lately is the fact that she seems reluctant on admitting to a mistake.

Perhaps she feels a bit stuck, for the simple fact that she's the first woman to be the lead candidate of any party for a presidential election. Being a woman and hypothetically, the first woman president in our history, perhaps some want to stereotype she and other women as not being decisive enough to be president or that they may not have a strong enough character. So, maybe Hillary is just fearful of the public's reactions (press, especially- Faux News) if she were to admit that she made a mistake. But, if that's not the case, then I've got a problem with it.

Who has been so reluctant over the past 6+ years of admitting to mistakes? President George W. Bush. I don't want to see a president like him, in that manner, in '08. What really confuses me is the fact Hillary supported the war early on, then went to join her Democratic colleagues in disapproving it, and now seems to be back and forth on where she stands on the issue. Deep down, she may disapprove and want out of Iraq as soon as possible, but she's fooled me, if that's the case.

John Edwards has stepped up and admitted he was wrong in voting for the war at the outset and is now strongly against what's transpiring. Barack Obama has been against it from the very start. Hillary may want to find out where she really stands and what she wants to do, because she may have the lead right now amongst Democrats, but a lot can happen in two years (well, not quite) and if she doesn't shapen up and let her true views and ideas known, I wouldn't be surprised if Edwards or Obama represented the Democratic Party in the '08 election.

Not My Usual Kind of Crowd

For some reason, my father, even though he doesn't hunt, fish, or do anything outdoors besides mow and snowblow, feels the need to hit up places like Bass Pro Shop and Cabela's, just to see what they're like and because, as he puts it, "they're like tourist attractions in some parts of the country."

We had browsed the Bass Pro Shop a few months ago. I have no idea what my father expects from these places. They sold fishing gear, hunting supplies, camouflage outfits, boating shtuff, etc. It's a store for the uber-outdoorsman. My father doesn't hunt, doesn't fish, doesn't go boating, etc. Everywhere we'd walk, there'd be someone dressed in camouflage, someone with one of those rat-tail hats, someone holding a gun. My family and I about laughed as we walked out of there, because, that's just not our kind of place. That was probably the first and last time you'll see as at the Bass Pro Shop.

So, what happens this past weekend? After lunch, my father jokingly asks (or so we thought), "Do you want to check out Cabela's?" My mom jokingly said, "Oh, yeah." She took his question in a joking manner and he took her response in a serious one, so, before we knew it, we were there and my mom said, "Oh, you were serious?" Yeah, he was. It was like déjà vu between that and the Bass Pro Shop. Kids in camouflage gear and toy guns, their fathers with matching outfits, and a guy sporting a pro-Iraqi War shirt, hat, and jacket. My father's never owned a gun, don't know that he's ever own a fishing rod, and never owned a boat. Why he feels the need to come to these places, is beyond me.

The next time he asks if we all want to go to one of those places, we'll now know to shout out the word, "NO!" Perhaps then and only then, he'll understand what we're trying to say.

"The Decision-Maker"

"The decider." "The decision-maker." "The Commander-in-Chief." "The president." Yeah, President Bush has not been coy about giving himself such credit with these and other nicknames.

It's like he needs to continually remind himself that he is in the top leadership position in the country. Why else would he need to say such things? Or is it to remind others that have been making decisions for him that he should have a say in things?

Whatever the reason, it doesn't make me feel so great. It just so happens that "the decider" led the people on with false reports stating that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, which prompted us into war with them. "The decision-maker" made the decisions of opening other's mail and wiretapping without warrants. "The Commander-in-Chief" put into action such laws as the Patriot Act, No Child Left Behind Act, and Military Commissions Act, which allowed for the sneak and peak, deleted habeas corpus, etc. I don't care what he calls himself, he's going to have to make better decisions if he wants to get credited by the majority with such names and with the troop surge being "The president's" next great idea, I'm not guessing that credit is going to come anytime soon.

Dane Cook's Cult (No, I am not a member)

"Comedian" Dane Cook's HBO "special," "Vicious Circle" was on last night, so I decided to give it a look. I've heard a lot of good things about the "comedian," but have never seen any of his stand-up routines. The "special" was one hour and forty-five minutes long.

What can I say? I was non-biased going into the "special," for the simple fact that I had never seen him perform before. I have nothing against the guy personally. He seems like a decent human being. I was quite impressed with the number of fans that showed up this evening, but noticed many of them seemed to be in the 16-19 age range and there seemed to be many more females than males attending the show.

Okay, enough with the introductory fluff. To put it mildly- Dane Cook isn't funny. I think I made a couple noises resembling laughs within those very long 105 minutes. "Gone With the Wind" seemed to go by quicker than this. I couldn't tell if one of those noises was a cough or a laugh. The other one was pretty obvious, so, count them, 1+ laughs in 105 minutes of action! That's not a good ratio for Mr. Cook, or anybody, as far as that goes.

Yeah, some Cook Cult Members might state that I'm just jealous of the guy and blah blah blah. I'm sorry, but no. If that was the case, why wouldn't I be this way toward all comedians? Movie stars? Musicians? Athletes? So, no, but your logic on that one is thin, to be nice.

He didn't have any good material. Dane Cook's routine was reminiscent of some times I spent with stoned out friends and stories they'd drone on for hours about. No, the stories weren't funny. They were interesting at first, but got to be dull and drab rather quickly. That's what Cook reminds me of. He had some decent material at first, but then he'd beat the idea down until it laid in a casket in a cemetery and was pronounced dead. Cook had problems finishing the joke. Many times, he could've brought a joke to a halt after one or two lines, but no, he didn't know how to end it. If he were to rewrite The Bible, it'd have to be separated into sixteen different volumes of equal length! He also laughed too much at his own jokes, even before the joke was finished. I'm sorry, but that can often times ruin the joke. He just didn't have any interesting original material. He told what seemed to be a never-ending story about lying and how it's contagious. When you say one lie, you have to keep lying, in order to keep that original lie safe and secure. So, he talked about a lie of how he got into a car accident, which prevented him from going to a party. Then, he went into detail about what happened during the accident and what condition the car was in, and blah blah blah, let's end it already! But, did it end there? No, of course not. Let's then go over the scenario if and when the guy knew he was lying. The guy went to your place, saw you on the couch watching television, but no, he has a hologram set up, so it looks like he's on the couch watching television, to keep burglars away! I'm just giving you all the shortened version. He spoke of crying and how we all need a good cry sometimes. He gave a long-winded demonstration of what this cry is like. He pretended to cry, cry, and cry. All I heard on my television set for about five minutes went something like this, "Waaaaaaaah! Waaaaaah! Waaahaaaaaa!" Yes, it was lovely and FUNNY! Oh, boy, was it funny... He got religious momentarily and talked about his run-in with an atheist. It was funny at first. He talked about how he always says, "God bless you" when somebody sneezes and when he said that one time, the man who sneezed said, "I'm an atheist." Cook wanted to respond with, "Well, what am I supposed to say, there's no after-life?" Right there is when he should've ended the joke. But, no, he went on and on like one of my old stoner friends, with really no point, message, or moral to the story. The stories were interesting for the first minute or so, but then began to make my eyes heavy. Cook is also probably the most random "comedian" I've ever witnessed. Cook's performance puts the show "Seinfeld" to shame with his randomness. As George Costanza said to Jerry about a show idea, "It's a show about nothing!" That's what Dane Cook's performance was about, only lacking the humor of "Seinfeld."

I'll give the guy one thing. He has a lot of energy. I'm not sure how he jumps or bounces around like that for 105 minutes, but with that kind of energy, he could be a rock singer or an aerobics instructor. Perhaps he should be a motivational speaker somewhere. Maybe, he'll do all right in the movie business. Who knows?

If you find a man running around for 105 minutes, yelling profanities, laughing at his own jokes, and making "Gone With the Wind" seem short in comparison to one joke of his funny, then by all means, enjoy his comedy. Perhaps his show being called "Vicious Circle" was an inside joke, because the circle the hand made on the clock for an hour and forty-five minutes was very vicious during his performance indeed.

Cowell and Cowherd

A good friend of mine has been going on and on about these two guys lately, Simon Cowell of "American Idol" and ESPN radio's Colin Cowherd. It drives me crazy, because I can't stand these two guys, for basically the same reason, they come across as jerks.

My friend made the claim last week that Simon Cowell is and I quote, "The funniest man in the world!" No, that's not an exaggeration on my part. I can say, with the utmost certainty, that it was an exaggeration on his. He's rather notorious for that. Does Simon get in some good lines here and there? Sure. But, does the guy go overboard and has moments when he doesn't know when to stop? Yeah. Simon just carries with him this aura that he thinks he's God and I apologize to Cowell-worshippers out there, but I am not in agreeance with that faith. Even though he'd disagree with me entirely, he's not the coolest, nor the brightest, nor the cleverest, nor the funniest person out there.

Colin Cowherd I can't stand even more, because, at least there are the other judges surrounding Simon to stop him talking at times. Colin is in his own little world, unfortunately, and anyone who disagrees will hear the lovely sound of a click. Yeah, that's what I can't stand most of all about the guy. He'll go on his little rant and if anyone asks him a question that he can't answer or disagrees with what he has to say, he'll cut them off, interrupt and talk some more, or just hang up on them and continue to go on about how right he is and how wrong that caller was. I'm sorry, but that's ridiculous. Now, if a caller just starts going off and saying things like, "Hey Colin, you suck! I hate you and your show!", then that is a good time to hang up. BUT, if a caller is simply stating their opinion on a subject that was brought up during the show or is asking a question, why hang up then? While Colin may not be happy that someone actually disagreed with his wise un-empirically-based rant, the caller is paying him enough respect by calling and either giving him their opinion (just as he did) or asking a question. He should pay them that same level of respect in return. The likes of Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity are infamous for these sorts of antics. I highly doubt that Colin would like to be grouped with the likes of those two, as he claims to be liberal on social issues. It's not like film stars can erase negative reviews of either they or the films in which they star. They have to deal with and respect the opinions of critics' reviews, whether they be positive, negative, or neutral. Colin better grow up and be able to take it from all sides.

So, in conclusion, I believe both Simon Cowell and Colin Cowherd think a bit too highly of themselves and someone should knock them back into place before their heads get larger than the sun. They're rude, obnoxious, and just love to hear themselves talk. Hopefully, Santa will stuff a load of duct tape in their stockings for next year!

A Vick Conspiracy?

It was recently reported that following the lab reports that Atlanta Falcons' quarterback didn't possess marijuana at Miami Airport, the investigation was thereby over, and the tape got erased. Conspiracy theorists, or to term it more accurately, Michael Vick-haters, are now convinced that Vick did indeed have marijuana and that either he or owner Arthur Blank paid the cops to let him go without any charges.

If this happened to Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, or Brett Favre, first off, would the press have been so nasty at the outbreak of the news and secondly, would there be conspiracies swirling as frequently? The answer to both those questions is no. Even though African-Americans outnumber Anglo-Americans in the NFL, they're still treated with a level of disrespect by people outside the game. If an African-American player gets in trouble with the law, many people outside the game (who I know), treat it like it's no big surprise. If an Anglo-American player gets busted for something, then woah, that's big news right there! "We" never would've thought that he'd do such a thing!

I see this attitude more than I'd like. People will respect and enjoy watching African-Americans in sports, but not hold that same level of respect for them as people. If those outside the game were head coaches and had an opportunity to draft certain players, they'd be apt to picking a LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, Carmello Anthony, Michael Vick, LaDanian Tomlinson, Reggie Bush, etc., because they'd want these guys on their teams. But, away from the court or the field, it's a different story.

I don't like to agree with the likes of Barry Bonds on things, because, well, he's not the most personable athlete in sports. Sometimes, I want to be naive and not believe that racism still goes on in this country, but that'd be pretty stupid of me to think that way. Let's look at a couple examples. When Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong was questioned about potentially taking muscle-enhancing drugs, the majority of American citizens were outraged. Some went on to say, "There you have the French again, trying to spoil our fun, and just being jealous of us winning their race again." I'd say that a small minority of people truly believed that Armstrong took the drugs. But, with Michael Vick and suspicion of marijuana possession? Oh, he's guilty on the spot! Even in baseball, during what is now known as the steroid era, critics and fans alike have seemingly been kinder to Mark McGwire than Barry Bonds. People pulled for McGwire to hit the then record-breaking 70 home runs. This temporarily brought popularity back to baseball. But, when Bonds hit 73? There just wasn't that same excitement and enthusiasm that filled the air or airwaves, for that matter. Whether critics, sportswriters, or fans want to admit it or not, they seemingly put African-American athletes on a shorter leash than Anglo-American athletes. After a solid second half of the season, all of a sudden, 37-year old Jeff Garcia is a better starting quarterback and fit for the Philadelphia Eagles than Donovan McNabb. Following a couple subpar performances, the winless Matt Schaub should take over the reigns for Michael Vick in Atlanta. Peyton Manning was less than stellar in his first two playoff games, but no one idiotically spoke out that they should consider starting the back-up. Tom Brady struggled early on for the Patriots and no one laid down a bonehead idea that the Pats should sit him for Matt Cassell. No. While I do believe that Rush Limbaugh's Donovan McNabb comments were blown a bit out of proportion, I think he was wrong. Look at the starting African-American quarterbacks in the NFL: McNabb of Philly, Vick of Atlanta, Aaron Brooks of Oakland, Byron Leftwich of Jacksonville, Vince Young of Tennessee, Steve McNair of Baltimore, and Jason Campbell of Washington. I already mentioned some comments made about McNabb and Vick, McNabb having taken Philly to the Super Bowl and Vick having taken Atlanta to the NFC Title Game, before losing to McNabb's Eagles. Aaron Brooks is bashed regularly. Some question if Byron Leftwich should be Jacksonville's starting quarterback, even after taking them to the playoffs last year, when he was healthy. People rave about Vince Young now, but just wait. They do this during the player's rookie season. They'll start to bash him in another year or two. Jason Campbell played during the mop up portion of the Redskins' season, so not much buzz one way or the other has been generated about him. Finally, Steve McNair is aging, so the critics and sportswriters are probably kindest toward him. He's also led his former team, the Tennessee Titans, to a Super Bowl appearance. I hear so many sportswriters wanting to see Peyton Manning win a Super Bowl, wanting to see Brett Favre win again, Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger, Tom Brady. Rarely do I hear that about an African-American quarterback. So, sorry Rush, but you were wrong. Critics and sportswriters are obsessed with the notion of the "traditional" quarterback, so, while they were kind to Vick early in his career and have treated Vince Young with that same kind of liking, when they realized that Vick wasn't and Young won't be, a traditional pocket-passing quarterback, that's when their biases came forward.

I'm not going to bash these "conspiracy theorists" for the theory in and of itself. I'm just simply unhappy with the reasons why they believe or choose to believe this. It's somehow wrong to question a Lance Armstrong on if he's used muscle-enhancing drugs, but wrong not to believe that Michael Vick possessed marijuana. Even though it's subtle, I'm amazed by the prejudices, stereotypes, and racism I hear, read, and encounter in the year 2007.

"Epic Movie"? Oh no, not another one...

In less than a year's time, two of the six writers from the "Scary Movie" films, have released the likes of "Date Movie" and now "Epic Movie." I have yet to see "Epic Movie," but am expecting anything, but a film of epic proportions.

I saw "Date Movie," and thought it appeared to be somewhat funny, in a stupid manner, from seeing the trailer. I can't remember laughing once in that film. There may have been a very light chuckle at one point, but that was it. I don't mind stupid humor to an extent. I laughed during films such as: "Dumb and Dumber," "Kingpin," among others. It doesn't take a whole lot to satisfy me in a comedy. "Date Movie" was one of the worst, if not the worst movie I've seen. In terms of comedies, it ranks in my top three (bottom, in this case, I guess), alongside "Gone Fishin'" and "Dude, Where's My Car?" I have the utmost confidence that "Epic Movie," if I were to see it, would rank in the bottom four with the three before-mentioned films.

It's funny in a way, because trailers brag that "Date Movie" and "Epic Movie" have 2 of the 6 writers from "Scary Movie." Go figure, these films are about 1/3 the film that "Scary Movie 4" was. Why was "Date Movie" so bad and why will "Epic Movie" be equally as poor? These films are supposed to be satiric and poke fun at other films. All they do is dress somebody up as a character from a particular film and basically repeat the same line that was stated in the original! That's not funny! That's ripping people of their money! What if a person hasn't seen the films that these guys are poking fun of? They're not going to be in on the "jokes." Satires may make fun of films, but they actually have a plot and storyline of their own. The jokes aren't solely dependent upon the viewers having seen the movies that they're spoofing. These films are a poor excuse for cinema and I truly hope that this one doesn't garner much money at the box office. Because, the problem is, as long as these guys make money from these awful films, they're going to continue to make similar flicks. I can only imagine what would be next: "Action Movie," "Funny Movie," "Romantic Movie," "Chick Flick Movie," Parody Movie," I better stop now, so I don't give them any ideas.

Sponge, the band

I bought their two most recent CD's last week, "For All the Drugs in the World" and "The Man," and just recently made a CD with 19 of my favorite Sponge songs from their five CD's. Next to the likes of Def Leppard and Marilyn Manson, Sponge, along with Bush and Cold, has to be one of my favorite bands, in my top five at least. I just can't understand why they aren't more popular than they are. Have they just run into bad luck? Does their marketer shoot up too much to get anything done? Why doesn't the radio play them more often than they do?

Unlike some bands, such as Nickelback, Wallflowers, and some others, all of Sponge's CD's sound different. All of their songs sound unique. They went from Rotting Pinata, with the likes of "Plowed," "Molly," "Giants," "Neenah Menasha," and the title track to Wax Ecstatic, which had a harder, rawer edge to it, with tracks like "My Purity," "Got to be a Bore," "I Am Anastasia," and the title track. They went from dark and heavy on Wax Ecstatic to a bit more up-beat and pop-sounding with New Pop Sunday. Even though it was not similar in the least bit with their first two albums, it was still solid, with some great songs, such as "My Lackluster Love," "Radio Prayer Line," and "Disconnected." They went from that to "For All the Drugs in the World," which sounded like a hybrid of their first two albums. Finally, "The Man" was their fifth album and the heaviest yet.

Vinnie Dombroski has a unique and powerful voice and an in-your-face writing style that is rare anymore. The drums, guitar, and bass are all solid. They go everywhere with what they play. There are rock songs that sound more '70s and '80s, with some guitar solos attached to them. There are some that sound more '80s-'90s, and then on "The Man," it sounds very contemporary. They've gone raw and hard, raw and soft, up-beat and poppy, contemporary and heavy, have mixed in other instruments, such as the piano and saxophone.

Sponge rocks, it's as simple as that. The sad part about it is the fact that not many people have had the opportunity to judge for themselves whether or not this is the case. They rock out with a very diverse array of songs from a diverse set of albums, and I hope that luck will be on their side in years to come, so that more people can enjoy their music and they can find better success for what they should've had a while back.

The State of the Union Address

As most people probably know, President Bush gave his State of the Union Address last night. As most who know me probably know, I'm not the president's biggest supporter. Last year, I gave Bush a D- grade on his speech, because there wasn't anything new. It was all a rehash of what he had been talking about for the entire year and just about a verbatim reiteration of his previous year's speech.

While I wasn't blown away by the president last night like some Republicans were, I did think it was an improvement from last year's. Why? Bush brought up new topics. For the first time during his tenure, he brought up the issue of global warming. The first half of his speech seemed to be a call out to the new majority in Congress, the Democrats, to work with him like the previous majority, the Republicans, didn't, on issues such as immigration, health care, and energy. He also briefly brought up education and potential of reform in the No Child Left Behind Act. The second half of the speech was directed more toward his base and foundation and was basically a rehash of what has been talked about of late, in regard to the troop surge idea.

It was quite a touching moment when he called out to lead speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, for being the first woman to be in that position of Congress. While, yes, I know it was scripted, he did seem genuine about it. The stories regarding the individuals in the audience to close the speech up were moving, as well.

I overheard some Republicans, most notably, Joe Scarborough and Pat Buchanan, rave about the president's renewed confidence at the podium and further exclaimed that it was his best speech since September 20th of 2001. I then overheard the likes of Craig Crawford and others, who are more left-leaning in their political views, state that Bush's confidence is his problem, that he's in a state of denial and a world of his own.

I hate to compromise the situation, but I believe both parties have a point here. When it comes to the War in Iraq and the War on Terror, in general, I believe that Bush is definitely gone from reality. If the real world were to be symbolized by a single person, Bush would not be visible from the naked eye and thensome. But, on the other issues I described above, I do think Bush may be feeling a bit more confidence than he had in the previous couple to few years. While I think Bush may have been disappointed that the Republicans failed to regain the majority of Congress back in November, I think part of him may have secretly been happy. It was an opportunity for him to start over on some levels and hopefully leave the office on a decent note. Let's face it. With the Republican majority, Bush was going nowhere and nowhere fast. They leaned on one another through just about everything and carried one another further down the approval ladder. Just following the news that George Allen had conceded to Jim Webb in Virginia to give the Democrats control of both the House and the Senate, Donald Rumsfeld was let go. I honestly don't believe that would've happened if the Democrats hadn't gained majority in Congress. Now, Bush is actually able to find some hope on the issues of immigration, global warming, education, health care, etc. When he pitched his immigration idea to the Republican majority, they spit it right back out. He has a better chance to pitch his idea and with acceptance to the Democratic majority. He's also more likely to work with the Democrats on the before-mentioned topics than with the Republicans. So, as long as Bush isn't too stubborn these next couple years and actually learns to work with the Democratic majority, he may be able to end on a better note than he would have had the Republicans retained the majority.

His biggest problem right now, though, is the Iraq War. While he may be better off in politicians' and analysts' minds if he works with the Democrats and gets certain bills passed over the next couple years, his approval ratings won't reflect that. So long as the Iraq War is being fought and U.S. troops pay the consequences, Bush's approval ratings will unlikely go above the 40% mark. And if he continues to preach this idea about sending 21,500 more troops in harm's way, his ratings will drop. He also needs to cut it out with the false dillemic jargon that he's used ever since 9/11/01. He used it oh so subtlely last night, but, it was there. He basically made the claim that if you don't support the 21,500 additional troops, then you don't support any of the troops. That's not the case and that's a very divisive line right there. He needs to be very careful about making such claims, especially when he seems to be in the minority of supporting such an idea. Two out of three in the American public disapprove. Many Republican members of the House and the Senate have also shown their concerns. Bush was able to get away with that some when his base and foundation was in the majority, but they're not anymore. So, he has to be careful on how he words such things, or else, his idea will never be given a chance.

While I do agree that Bush's speech last night was superior to that of last year's, I was not blown away in any sense of the word. I feel and hope that he may feel fresh once again, ironically because, he has new people to work with finally, who have a different mind-set and different priorities than their predecessors. From politicians' perspectives, last night (overall) may have been a step in the right direction. But, from the public's eyes, what was said about the Iraq War overshadowed all else that was said and it will continue to until the troops begin coming home.

Movie Taste

Ever know a person whose movie taste you just can't stand? Whenever they ask you out to a movie or ask if you want to come over to see a movie, you cringe? I know a person like that.

This past week, he rented films such as: The Covenant, The Descent, Crank, and Employee of the Month. The Covenant was awful. I don't even have the words to describe that flick. It was like the WB's version of a horror film. The acting was dreadful. The story and plot did anything but garner my interest. The dialogue was like that between two six-year olds. The Descent was overrated, I thought. The acting was better in that film than in The Covenant, but I was never really drawn into the story and wasn't frightened, in the least bit. Crank was a "guy's" movie: not much there in terms of plot or storyline, not much there in terms of acting, but lots of action, some nudity, explosions, gunfire, speed, etc. Employee of the Month, was, all together, destitute. Jessica Simpson can't act, so quit trying. She and comic Dane Cook had the chemistry of Screech Powers and Kelly Kopowski.

This isn't anything new to this lad. As far as actors go, he thinks The Rock (yes, the wrestler) and Vin Diesel are elite. I can't wait to hear his appraisal for John Cena in The Marine.

He and I have both taken one film course, but I don't pretend to know it all about cinema, because of that. He does. I find that extremely funny, given the fact that he feels the likes of Vin Diesel and The Rock are great actors and that the movie, Crank, has an extremely clever plot and storyline. He also has a great deal of trouble understanding certain films and the message behind them, such as, Lost in Translation, The Royal Tennenbaums, and A Scanner Darkly. He can see the point in Crank, Doom, and The Fast and the Furious, but not in the other three films I mentioned.

I will be completely and utterly dismayed if he ever suggests a movie that appears to be halfway intelligent, with proven actors in it. ::checks watch::, yeah, that'll be the day. I won't be holding my breath, rest assured of that!

Sports Notes

-Congrats to the Colts and Bears for advancing to the Super Bowl, following their wins yesterday over the Patriots and Saints. Indy had to come back from 21-3 down and New Orleans just failed to show up.

-Why in the world did the Atlanta Braves trade away first baseman Adam LaRoche to Pittsburgh for Mike Gonzalez? LaRoche finally appeared to be coming along in the second half of the season last year, finishing with 31 home runs and over 90 RBI's. Atlanta then picked up first baseman Craig Wilson, who had fewer dingers and runs batted in last year, not to mention, a lower batting average and a poorer rep with the glove.

-With all the 'roids that've been taken and spread around in baseball like some kind of virus, is it just me, or does baseball not really have much going for it anymore?

-With football season being all but done, could March roll around, so we can enjoy some madness, please? George Mason, anyone?

-Why are the Detroit Lions sticking with Matt Millen? Do they figure another top five pick next year will finally get them over the hump?

-I've heard some boneheads make the claim that the Eagles should trade Donovan McNabb in favor of Jeff Garcia. Yeah, these boneheads are professional "experts" and "analysts." Garcia found a way to win games down the stretch and is a great back-up to have on the sideline, but he's not as mobile as Donovan, shorter, throws more of a floundering wobbly-type pass, and is going to be 37 soon, compared to McNabb being 30!

-Is hockey still being played? I've lost track.

Another scenario of one being guilty until proven innocent...

I was very tempted to write about the Michael Vick Miami airport debacle last week, but with a lack of evidence at my disposal, decided not to get into it. That didn't stop the majority of the press to do so, though. Even though no charges had been filed, Vick had not been arrested, and no concrete evidence had been passed that he did indeed possess marijuana, people in the media made it seem like it was a 100% concrete fact that Vick was charged, arrested, and that he did indeed have marijuana in his possession.

Well, it was made known today that the lab results came back and wait, what's this I hear? No detection of marijuana. Vick has been cleared and the investigation has come to a close. Gosh, I'm sure many in the media are flustered, because with the closing of the investigation with no charges being filed against Vick, the bashing of his guilt in the case will have to come to a close also.

This is why I do not envy celebrities. Kobe Bryant's case ended in a dismissal, yet, even bums on the street knew about it. A child's first words may have been, "Have you heard anything new about the Kobe Bryant case?" Who can ever forget about O.J.? If that was some average Joe, we would never have seen that chase on television nor seen the trial nor been updated about it every few minutes in a given day. While many believe the man did it, he was ruled to be not guilty.

If a person is caught in live action of doing something illegal, that's one thing. If Vick was caught while smoking a bong, Kobe was caught raping the woman, or O.J. was caught murdering his wife, one can mark that as guilt through and through. But, this is not what happened. So, why do some immediately judge these men and others as guilty before any evidence (or lack there of) streams through?

I think a major problem with today's media is the simple fact that too much is asked of them. There are "news" stations that run for 24 hours in a given day. How is one to fill up that allotted time with nothing but reports, studies, and factual information? It's not going to happen. So, we end up having to fill in that time with opinions, rumors, gossip, hypothetical scenarios, arguments, etc. Many times, it can be like listening to the same radio station in a given day. Yeah, the first hour or so may be filled with plenty of music, not many commercials, and no repeats, but if you listen to it for a whole day, there are going to be plenty of repeats, a great deal of commercials, and will lose its overall appeal. It's news and fact that Vick's water bottle got taken from him and sent to a lab. It's news and fact that a woman charged Kobe with rape. It's news and fact that O.J. was charged with murder. But, that's where the news and facts come to an end, until the final verdicts are known. Unfortunately, with the popularity that Faux "News" has brought to cable television with their obsession of slanted opinions posing as news, other stations have attempted to follow suit.

What is it with leaders?

How many times have we heard President Bush or a member of his administration (most recently, Dick Cheney) state that criticizing or questioning the government plays right in the hands of one (dead) Osama Bin Laden and the terrorists? Is this response some international code for leaders to use when questioned or criticized? Current Iraqi president Maliki said the same thing about Bush and his administration for criticizing and questioning the Iraqi government. He stated that by doing that, it was playing right in the hands of the terrorists. As many who've read this blog know, I am by no means, a supporter of the Bush White House, but let's get serious. Just as I think it's ridiculous to label dissenters of the Bush administration as treasonous, unpatriotic, and terrorist sympathizers, I think the same holds true of any administration, including the one in Iraq. I can only wonder what would be said if there was no "War on Terror" going on. The Bush administration would probably just attempt to bastardize the term "liberal" even more than they have and I'm unsure what Maliki would do. Yes, freedom reigns supreme. Let's spread DEMOCRACY all throughout the world. But, if you question or criticize us? You're a terrorist sympathizer! Whaaaaat? Did I miss something here? Chumps.

Week 20 NFL Picks and Results

Sunday
New Orleans at Chicago: With the Bears barely squeaking by the Seahawks last week and their defense not resembling that once "dominant" D of the first half of the season and with the Saints having one of the more balanced and potent offenses in the league, I look for New Orleans to outscore the Bears in this one.
New Orleans 27 Chicago 24
Chicago 39 New Orleans 14 (0-1)

New England at Indianapolis: I've got a bad feeling about this one. The only reason I'm saying that is, because I'm pulling for Indy. The Colts beat the Pats in the regular season, but have not been able to get over the post-season hump against the same Patriots. Peyton Manning has been anything, but Manning-like in the post-season and it's hard for me to believe that the Colts defense will continue to carry the load against Tom Brady, Bill Bellichick, and the Pats. Yeah, I don't want to say it, but I'm picking New England.
New England 30 Indianapolis 27
Indianapolis 34 New England 31 (0-2)

Week 20 Record: 0-2 (.000)
Overall Record: 153-111 (.580)

Season Review Newsletter

The 2006-2007 college football season is officially over and while that is depressing, meaning we won't be able to enjoy live college football action for another 7 months or so, that doesn't mean we can't look back on the best and the worst of the year. First off, I've gathered all of my previous newsletters together and from the most boneheaded plays to the best games, I've concocted top ten lists (twenty-five in one scenario) to countdown the best of the best and the worst of the worst. I should mention that if a play or a game wasn't listed in my newsletters as the game of the week, bonehead call of the week, and the like, then that game, play, or call will not be eligible for the countdowns. I've also tallied the conference yo's of the week, yo no's, and players of the week to illustrate how the conferences compared to one another throughout the course of the season and to see just who (if anybody) reigned supreme in getting hailed player of the week. I should make note that if I awarded two players for player of the week or two conferences as the conference yo or yo no in a given week, both players or conferences will be awarded half a tally mark each to total one for the given week. Allright, here we go.


The Top Ten Bonehead Calls of the Year
10. Referees at the end of the Ohio State/Michigan game. Their phantom pass interference call helped spark the wondrous debate that was the BCS Title Game and who deserved to face the Buckeyes.
9. Messed up formation for Central Michigan late against Boston College when down 24-17. The Chippewas, driving and down only seven late in the game, ran a formation I had never seen before and don't care to see again. The coaching staff tried to get a little too "cute" and it resulted in an interception.
8. OU's lateral call at their own 10-yard line, down 21-10 to Texas. Down 21-10 in the second half, Oklahoma had the ball deep in their own territory, still with an opportunity to make a game of it in the so-called Red River Shootout. Stoops and company called a lateral, which was picked up by the Longhorns defense and they waltzed in for an easy six to seal the victory.
7. Michigan State coaching staff for allowing a 37-21 4th quarter lead slip away against Notre Dame. How do you blow big leads? Just ask now ex-Michigan State coach John L. Smith. He'll be teaching a course next season on how to do such a thing consistently.
6. Bill Callahan fake punting from his own 29-yard line, tied 7-7 with Auburn. It failed and set up another short score for the Tigers, who won the game 17-14. At midfield? Fine. At the opponent's 40? Again, that's allright. But, at your own 29-yard line, tied 7-7, against one of the quickest defenses in the nation? Not so bright there, Billy.
5. K-State's fake punt at their own 8-yard line against Nebraska. Yeah, they converted, but it was still one of the dumbest play calls I've seen in my lifetime. Can you imagine if it wasn't converted? Nebraska would've taken over inside the K-State 10-yard line!
4. UCLA's prevent defense against Notre Dame in the Irish's last drive. As the saying goes, this defense prevents you from winning football games and the cliche' rang true again, this time for the Bruins.
3. Spurrier's halfback toss play in their own end zone late in the first half to fall behind 12-0 against Georgia. Steve Spurrier's Gamecocks were lucky to be only down 10-0 at this point. They could've played it conservatively and gone into the half only down ten. But, no, of all the plays he could've called near his own goalline, Spurrier's calls for a halfback toss! There's gutsy and there's stupid. That one falls under the latter category, no ifs, ands, or buts about it!
2. Brent Musburger's commentary during Notre Dame/USC, comparing Brady Quinn to Michael Vick and claiming that regardless of the outcome of that very game, Notre Dame deserved to play in the Rose Bowl against Michigan, because of their long-standing history. Brady Quinn's speed is as much like Michael Vick's as Eric Crouch's arm is to Brett Favre's. Also, the Irish deserve to go to the Rose Bowl for the simple fact that they're Notre Dame? They got spanked 47-21 by Michigan (the team they would have re-matched) and got handled 44-24 by USC. I wonder what Brent's saying now following LSU's 41-14 thrashing of the Irish in the Sugar Bowl.
1. John Saunders and Doug Flutie stated that since unbeaten Ohio State was off, Florida should jump them too, when Craig James made statement that the SEC title win by Florida over Arkansas could benefit them in jumping over idle Michigan. I don't often agree with "analyst" Craig James, but following Florida's SEC Championship victory over Arkansas, he simply pointed out the fact that the conference title games can benefit or hurt certain teams. This seems to be rather common sense knowledge to me. Since Michigan was off that week, he noted the win by Florida could aid them in the polls. Saunders and Flutie come out of nowhere and say, "Well, why don't they just jump over Ohio State then, since they were off this week as well?" The Buckeyes, outside of Boise State, were the only undefeated team in the country. They had their spot locked up for the game in Glendale. Saunders and Flutie should be proud. They're the only ones that outdid Musberger for the most boneheaded call of the year.

The Top Ten Bonehead Plays of the Year
10. A&M's poor clock management and roughing of Nebraska quarterback Zac Taylor late in their loss to the Huskers. When Texas A&M was about all, but assured a victory against Nebraska, they did everything in their power to make things interesting. Their tailback went out of bound on a designed run play to keep the clock ticking. On Nebraska's next drive, A&M got flagged for a personal foul, roughing the passer, which prolonged a Husker drive. They did all they could to give the game away at the end, and congratulations, they did just that.
9. Late interception by Boise State quarterback Jarod Zabransky, which was taken back for six, to give Oklahoma their first lead of the game at 35-28. I don't know if this was more the fault of Zabransky, the quarterback, for a horrible ready or the receiver, for running the wrong route. Either way, it was a bonehead play that almost cost the Broncos the Fiesta Bowl.
8. Texas roughing Nebraska quarterback on the last play of the game, giving NU another opportunity to win. On a Hail Mary at the end of the game, what's the rule on defense? Knock the ball down and don't commit a penalty! Texas roughed NU quarterback Zac Taylor on the last play of the game to give the Husker's one last shot.
7. West Virginia punter Koslowski's low line drive kick in the third quarter, away from the coverage, that gave the Louisville returnman all day to run. This was the turning point of the game. If not for this, the Mountaineers may have won the game, which would've set up a much different outlook in the Big East conference at season's end.
6. LSU's Doucett muffing the ball on a punt return, then fumbling it out of the back of his own end zone for a safety. Florida went up 16-7 at that point and cruised from there. Yeah, he did both. That's hard to do. He muffed the ball, gained control, then fumbled the darn thing into the back of his own end zone for a safety! The play had to be reviewed, because, who in world could believe that something like that could happen, especially to a top ten club like LSU?
5. Georgia punt returnman raising ball over his head in celebration and dropping the ball before he scores. Leon Lett, anyone? Fortunately for him, he was able to redeem himself later, by taking one back for a score and it was against mighty Western Kentucky, so one mistake like that wouldn't cost them the game. It was still boneheaded enough to earn the five spot in the countdown.
4. On an 80-yard touchdown pass by Chase Daniel against Kansas, a fellow Tiger was called for a personal foul for laying down a big hit on a Jayhawk away from the ball. The touchdown was taken off the scoreboard. This was at a critical point in the game. Missouri failed to score any points on the drive and Kansas took the ball the other way on their next possession to get to within one score. It was a big momentum changer.
3. South Carolina was down 31-24 late to Tennessee, but was driving with no time outs left. Quarterback Newton threw a ball that was tipped and an O-Lineman caught it, was stopped, and the clock ticked to under ten seconds left to go. All the lineman had to do was bat the ball down to stop the clock and give the offense another chance to score. But, no, he caught the darn thing, tried to make like LaDanian Tomlinson (with a few extra pounds!) and to my surprise, he got nowhere!
2. Miami's pre-game antics against Louisville. They paraded around the Cardinals' midfield logo and that just added fuel to the already burning fire. The 'Canes got downgraded to Tropical Storm Shirley following the Cards' 31-7 whipping of "The U."
1. Brawl in Miami (Florida)/Florida International game. I don't need to add any commentary here. That's by far and away the most boneheaded play of the year!

We will now look at the six major conferences and hand out some awards. I believe that the MVP award is misinterpreted by many in the press and differs from that of player of the year, so I've separated the two. To compare it to baseball is to say that Alex Rodriguez may be player of the year when he played for the last place Texas Rangers and put up gaudy numbers, but David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox would be the true MVP, as he was the most valuable to his team's success. I'll also dish out coach of the year honors and make mention of the biggest surprises and disappointments from each conference. I'll finish this section by handing out national awards.
