Great News Clips
This first one is probably the quickest way to lose your job:
This is why every news cast should include at least one interview from a kid:
Best reaction...can you imagine being the producer of this show?

FANTASTIC VIDEO:
Post Championship Weekend Comments
Few interesting things happened this weekend...
A) Norv Turner proved his excellence as a head coach. If you played football at all, you know exactly what play I am talking about. Let me paint the picture for you.
- In Foxboro
- Playing arguably the best offense the NFL has ever seen
- Nine minutes left to play
- Down two scores
- AFC Championship game
- 4th down and 10 on the Patriots 36
Who in gods name would punt it in this situation. This seems like it's straight out of NCAA '07. You know, that mode where you can re-orchestrate "one of the greatest comebacks of all time." Can you imagine being a Chargers fan after you see the punting team come out on the field? The Patriots didn't even rush anyone because they thought they were going to fake it. One of the worst calls I have seen a professional coach make.
The only thing that was even better than this was the typical Norv Turner series of downs that preceeded this call. (Yes, it was so bad I wrote it down afterwards)
1st & 10 on the Pats 36 - Down ten, everyone in the world (except Norv Turner) knows they need to get to the 30 to give their kicker a chance in hell at making a field goal to make this a one score game. Chargers try a 30 yard bomb down field
2 & 10 on the pats 36 - Perhaps try a run to get a chunk of yars so you can at least try to get inside Kaeding's range? 15-yards incomplete pass.
3 & 10 - Draw? You can guess what happened, an incomplete pass.
At least take a shot at a 52-yarder, I think Kaeding has the leg to at least get it close. Judging by that punt this is what Turner expected to happen next:
- 3 & out
- Chargers score
- 3 & out
- Chargers score a game winning drive (either a TD or a field goal depending on the first score)
I'm not an incredibly smart guy, but Norv Turner seems like a moron.
On another note, did you see how Phillip Rivers handled their win in Indy? A year after complaining how the Pats handled their playoff win in SD, Phillip is five feet from the stands, jumping up and down, yelling obscenities at the Indy fans. Solid work guys, real class act.
The only person Phillip Rivers seems to hate more than an Indy fan is LT. That relationship is as stable as Ryan Leaf, they yell at eachother more than any QB-RB tandem in the league. An infant would have better odds surviving a night with Brittney Spears than the Bolts would have at winning the Super Bowl.
B) Tom Coughlin moved back a step in evolution...
One of my favorite parts of watching that NFC Championship was my buddy and I betting money on whether or not Coughlin was going to cover his face at all. He seriously looked like an Everest climber in the locker room afterwards.
Speaking of the locker room, my buddy also made a great point this weekend, has Terry Bradshaw ever done an interview for the losing team in a game? Imagine Terry interviewing Mike McCarthy after that game...
Terry: "HEY MIKE, GREAT GAME OUT THERE TODAY!"
Mike: "Thanks, things just didn't fall our way out there. Congrats to the Giants, they played a great game."
Terry: "IT'S OK, YOU'LL GET 'EM NEXT WEEK MIKE. HEY HOW ABOUT THIS WEATHER, CRAZY EH?"
Mike: "Um, yeah it was pretty cold out there. It definitely changed how we coached and played over the coarse the game."
Terry: "YEAH, BOY IT WAS CRAZY. I WAS FREEZING MY LITTLE BUTT CHEEKS OFF. SO WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO COME BACK FROM THIS LOSS?"
Mike: "Well, we just have to go back to the drawing board, fix our mistakes and hopefully make some strong moves in the off season to come back a better team next year."
Terry: "WAIT THIS IS THE PLAYOFFS? WOW, HOW TIME FLIES! I LIKE TURTLES. BACK TO YOU GUYS"
Make sure to watch him after his next game, it's like he does a line of blow before every interview.

High School Highlight Reels
What amazes me is how many 12-year olds there are who have highlight reels up on you tube. It's amazing, I can sit here and go over all of them, but I'm only going to show you one, Cody Paul. It's going to be interesting to see if this kid actually ends up panning out, he's leaps and bounds ahead of all of the other 12 year olds. I know, this is ridiculously funny.

Does anyone else do this?
Here's Tyler, showing us how it's done...
http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=551650436018&subj=7722023
If you can't see the video, friend him, he will accept...tell him you know me...then you will be able to see it.
Here's Joby Meyers aka Kimbo, beating the crap out of defenseless baby seals at what looks like 2 in the morning, after a heavy dose of Jager. He's in the black helmet first, then the white for the other two. The last dude who gets hit is Tyler I think...he gets knocked the f out at the end...

Terrelle Pryor finds a traveling buddy...
The article also gave us some pretty good insights as far as where Terrelle stood on his choice so far. Here's the article: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08011/848406-365.stm
A couple of things jumped off the page to me. One, he doesn't "feel like visiting Oregon;" which tells me he doesn't seem too interested. Two, Michigan is telling him that "(you) can start as a freshman." Three, he apparently doesn't care that "Michigan's top two receiving threats are leaving the school for the NFL." (btw: Arrington going pro makes NO sense to me and I don't think Manningham is near strong enough to be successful in the NFL like Braylon Edwards)
He talked an awful lot about Michigan in the non-interview, maybe Ohio State's recent spelling problems have swayed his opinion of the school? Ok, I'm going to stop gossiping like a 12 year old and just let him do his thing. Here's a clip of him in the All-American Game, the pass at 1:25 is AMAZING: rolling to his right, throwing across his body, to the other corner of the endzone...oh yeah, and his running is ok too.
O-H-OH-NO

Best Animal Humps
I love that we actually praise her for making pooh bite the curb and take it in the rear. Anywho, I started thinkin about other awesome humping video that might be on the internet and someone already went through the trouble of making a compilation for me, set to really cheesy French musique...
This video is kind of weird, I feel kind of creepy because there is a 10 year old girl obviously dancing around; but then the whole background is awesome.
Her dog is looking at her like, "alright chica, get the f off of my humping ground, I'm tryin to do work over here." Then she picks up the snake like a freakin boa, priceless...
Ok, I can't believe I just wrote a post about this...until next time.

Things that make me understand why I'm not in the NFL
That's pretty awesome when your signature move is jumping over another guy on a football field. Anyways, I found another clip of McGuffie, doing a front flip over a kid...who is almost 6 feet tall.
Ok he is bent over, but still...that is ridiculous. Just so you can follow my train of thought, my brain started wondering what other crazy shit athletes can do that I can't do. I know this could be never ending, but here's what I have so far.
I can't jump 66 inches in the air like Adrian Wilson can, no that is not a typo.
I had to watch that four times to appreciate how amazing that is. I also can't jump over cars like Joey Gaithright...
I also can't do the majority of what these guys do with this soccer ball...
I can watch that video all day; that is amazing how easily they do all of that stuff. Another thing I can't do is this 540 high kick that I feel all Asian people can secretly do.
Notice how high the thing is that he's kicking and then try to act out kicking it yourself. Only then will you appreciate how impressive is is. I'll be adding more stuff as I find it...feel free to let me know what else I can't do.
(UPDATE)
I have continued my search of things that make me realize I would have never made it in professional sports, I landed on this bad boy. The kid in this video is 13...13 freakin years ol, he's not even in high school and he is filthy at shooting puck.
OK, THIS DUDE IS NUTS
It's not that I couldn't do that, I would never want to do that...ever...for any amount of money.
I don't know if I would have the cajones to throw myself into this monster regardless of whether I devoted my life to surfing or not...
You know what, I would hate myself if I didn't give it a shot, and you would too...
Either way, there is no way you appreciate how big and how powerful this wave is...look at the ceiling of your room, multiply it by four, and then get the cajones to surf down it on a piece of cardboard...yeah, now you know what I'm talking about...oh wait, give it the speed of a local highway....at the same size....
