Infield Flies, Cabin in the Woods, Property Brothers

I do not usually bring up this subject, but in light of yesterday’s epic infield fly rule I think it is appropriate. That’s right; welcome to the world of Oakland Raiders fans you crazy Tomahawk Choppers because you just got Tuck Ruled. Hear me out — In each case an official made a rarely used call incorrectly. An infield fly rule should never be called in the OUTFIELD, and if an arm is moving forward because the quarterback is trying to secure the football it should not be an INCOMPLETE pass. However, in each case, the call is sooooooooo…

You stop laughing right Meow!

1.) Right now, I am watching the Deadspin video of Atlanta Falcons Safety Thomas DeCoud play the “Meow” game–made famous by Super Troopers–on a live Sportscenter interview (the interview took place sometime before yesterday’s game against the Panthers). It is absolute hilarity and he is really, really good at slipping Meow’s into the interview such as, “Meow, we just have to be disciplined in our coverage.” Great stuff. He also ends the interview with “Most definitely, thank you.   MEOW!“ 2.) Here is the text I sent to Randy after reading his picks column on Friday “Peyton gonna pick apart…

Week 4 Picks and Fodder

The Refs are back!! Sweet mercy, the refs are back!! And that’s literally all I want to say about that. By 3pm last Tuesday, I was already sick of hearing about the terrible call the refs made, how they sucked, what was happening with the new refs, blah blah blah. All is well now… If there’s one thing that I noticed about last night’s game, too, it’s that it was… well… kinda boring and normal. Things were controlled and a lot less tense. I guess that’s cool…. The Phillies disappointed like we all expected. This is a weird time…

Roger Goodell is a Joke

Ok, now it’s time to bring back the regular refs. Let’s do it. Now. This is beyond absurd. We all felt this way before the Monday Night debacle. A quarterback lost part of HIS FREAKING EAR on Sunday. It’s time to end this. Besides the whole Matt Schaub losing his ear lobe thing, I have 3 prime examples from the Raiders/Steelers game that show why there needs to be real referees in the game to keep the players safe. And lest you think I am biased because I love my Raiders, two of them are calls the officials missed…

Week 3 Picks: The Cabin in the Woods

If you haven’t seen The Cabin in the Woods movie, do yourself a favor and check it out.  Like Thor, which I wrote about a while back–and which also coincidentally stars Chris Hemsworth–it is the perfect 3 star movie. But be warned before you check it out: it’s not really a horror movie. It’s more in the vein of Scream, a kind of half scary, half funny movie (although it may even be 75% funny, 25% scary.) The stars of the show are Richard Jenkins (who is awesome in everything, especially as one of the dad’s playing poker in…

Jayson Werth Predicts the Future

Remember back when Jayson Werth signed with the Nationals for bazillions of dollars (7 years, 126 million), and all us Phillies fans crushed him for selling out his soul to head to a non-contender with no chance of ever winning the NL East? Yep, me too. Seriously though, is Jayson Werth that much smarter than every Phillies pundit and fan? Did he correctly see the future of the Nationals while we all laughed away, cheese and steak rolling down our collective chins? Yes, yes he did. Check out the picture folks. He calculated it on his magic abacus. I…

The Jump to Conclusions Mat

The thing I really love about the NFL is how every week seems to change our opinions of a team. In week one, the Patriots crushed the Titans and it looked like they were a lock to make the playoffs and contend for the AFC crown. Meanwhile, the Cowboys took down the defending Super Bowl champs and looked like they were on their way to a showdown with the 49ers in the NFC championship. Meanwhile, the Cardinals beat Seattle–but nobody put too much stock into that because it was the Seahawks and they were certainly going to get clobbered…
