Post NFL Depression

Last nights Super Bowl wound up being another exciting close to yet another exciting NFL season.  But now comes the realization that for the next 6+ months, I will be without my favorite sport.  This is easily the saddest, most depressing part of the year for me.  I've still got about 3 months before the NBA season becomes exciting enough to watch on a regular basis (I really only care about the playoffs).  Same can be said for Baseball, which means I won't really give a crap until September at the earliest.  This leaves me with NOTHING.  So sad.  I'll likely be using this extra time on my hands to play X-Box and catch up on past episodes of Lost.

Congrats To The New Orleans Saints

I'm happy they won, as I rooted for them in this years Super Bowl. But to all of you pseudo New Orleans fans who came outta nowhere screamin' "Who Dat", go kill yourselves right now.  Seriously, it's cool to cheer for a team but don't act like you were a NO fan the entire year, because you weren't. Sit down, and shut up.  Oh, and congrats to the Saints.

About The Grammys

After about a week since the airing of the Grammys, something has continued to bother me.  Not the fact that Taylor Swift won album of the year and can't even sing. Not the fact that they censored half of Drake, Wayne and Eminems performance.  What bugs me is the fact that the producers of the Grammys had 7 months to put together a Michael Jackson tribute yet the best they could do was slap together a cheesy 3D performance of a song that wasn't even close to being his most popular?  That makes little sense to me.  A one song performance.  Not a medly, and barely a "tribute".  It just seemed sloppy and last minute.  With the exception of Janet's surprise performance at the VMA's, I've yet to see anything that really served as a real ode to Michaels legacy.  I thought the Grammys would do better than this.

Sidenote: Michael got a one song.  Bon Jovi got three, oh..ok.

Facebook What Do You Think You're Doing?

I don't mind when Facebook goes through these obligatory redesign phases, but now they're tinkering with features I've become accustomed to.  For instance, I'm not huge on the Live Feed; too much bullshit.  I liked to just select "status updates" and keep shit simple.  But this redesign removed my ability to limit my stream to statuses.  I've looked but I see no way to update it.  I also notice my stream isn't self updating like it used to, I'm having to either click "refresh" or exit then re-enter the page.  No bueno.  Facebook is getting kinda radical w/ these changes.  They keep fucking around, people are gonna rebel.

Thanks!

Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Episode One

And just like that, I take back every bad thing I've ever said about Sega.  Check out the trailer here.  I promise you won't regret it.

NBA's National Broadcasts Suck

Apparently, the only way to get on a nationally televised NBA game (TNT/ESPN/ABC) is to play against the Cavs, Lakers, Nuggets, or Celtics.  Every time I turn around, those four teams are the ones who are on TV.  And in some cases, against one another.  I get they're the top of the NBA brass, so to speak, but does the NBA have such little faith in the quality of it it's other teams that it doesn't want to broadcast them nationally?  MLB doesn't do this; yea you're gonna see the Yankees and Red Sox alot but that's by design since there are fucking 162 games.  You'll also see the Pirates, Mariners, Royals, Astros or whoever else is playing.  The NBA seems to have no interest in showing the Grizzlies, who are actually performing very well this year.  Nor the Hawks or Bobcats, two more teams  who are performing particularly better than expected.  As a sports fan, I find this troubling.  While I have no issue paying extra money to see out of market NFL games (due to the importance of each game week in and week out), I'm nowhere near willing to do that for an 82 NBA season where teams are likely to hotdog some of the games.  The NBA needs to figure something out.
