Remember when the NFL vowed to crack down on helmet-to-helmet hits, promising flags, fines and suspensions? That it would work to end the culture of malicious, cruel victimization of unprotected wide receivers and running backs exposed in the process of making a catch? Well, that began and ended yesterday. Seems like forever ago, as analysts and league officials are already backing down. Talking heads on ESPN, for example, now say that the regulations take away from the game and make "big hits illegal". No, these regulations, which had always been in place but rarely enforced, make head-hunting a point of examination by officials. These are not new rules; these are rules that, supposedly, will now actually be followed. ESPNers are already saying these make the game "softer"... please go tell that to your teammates who spent much of Sunday twitching on the field and being carted off to the hospital. This culture of violence and misplaced machoism is hurting not the owners or officials but the PLAYERS who are getting injured and suffered major neurological damage.
In technology, scientists have found a way to end Lou Holtz's incessant slurring of words and pointless stammering...Not really....
However, Steve Jobs has declared the Nerdiest War Ever on Google, saying the search engine giant is "disingenuous" and puts volume in front of customer service and quality. Jobs vowed, hand on the Service Agreement from iTunes, to continue to beat Google (haha, saying Google a lot is fun, how can you hate this company?) in smart phones and tablets, which Google has slowly creeped into selling via the Google Nexus One and an unreleased tablet. Why does this matter? Cause they will fight, and we, the consumer, will reap the benefits! This will make products better and prices lower for all! Exclamation point! Now, if we apply this theory to Megan Fox and Angelina Jolie, neither would wear clothes and would continue to jump on wet trampolines until the other admitted defeat. That should be a movie...
On this day in 1977, three members of the Southern rock group Lynard Skynard were killed in a plane crash. Strike up "Free Bird" today in their honor, just stop screaming for bands to play it at EVERY live concert you've been to (I'm looking at you, everyone in Grawn).
The Tour de France route has been announced, and it's a climbers Tour to win. It features only ten flat stages, which, I would contest, is roughly ten too many. Make those chaps climb every day! This isn't likely, but it's the most entertaining. The French riders would have none of it, riding off in the opposite direction the moment Jens Voight headed towrd Paris. Get it? Cause the French run from the Germans? It's a common theme...Expect the Schlecks' "We Swear We Have A Team Made, Honest!" squad tto dominate the last two weeks, with numerous Alpine stage and no Alberto Contador in the race. The 2 or 3 time Tour champ is still awaiting a ruling in his doping case from a positive test July 24th. It seems as though he will be suspended at least one year, and Contador has hinted he may retire if he receives any ban. If you can't take your punishment, dont't eat the tainted Spanish meat, Al.
Word has it the number one custom for Halloween is "Snooki", followed by Dora the Explorer for kids... Which supports my claim that Snooki is, in fact, a cartoon, which would explain the orange coloring...
Thanks, enjoy "Modern Family" tonight on ABC, I'm going to go buy photos of the illegal hit on Josh Cribbs that the NFL, who fined James Harrison for the hit, is selling on their website. Go HYPOCRISY!
