Touchy, Touchy ...

Seriously people, is this really what the world has come to?

After all of the cheap shots things I have said and done on this blog, the one that provokes the most vitriolic, over-the-top reaction is the Tom Brady post? Really?

I think there are few Bahston people who really need to check themselves. Maybe take a weekend and get away from everything. Maybe reevaluate your fucking priorities or something.

One guy even emailed me and said that Brady’s knee injury was a “tragedy” that the entire country was mourning. And he then went on to say that by “mocking” this tragedy I was “mocking” all the people who were genuinely devastated by Brady’s injury.

Yeah, at first I emailed him back and complimented him on his dead on hilarious imitation of the reaction of most Patriots fans.

Turns out he wasn’t kidding. He was stone cold serious.

Just for the record ... Dude ... The old “barefoot, sister-marrying hillbilly from Arkansas” shit isn’t all that clever anymore. Let’s try to be a little more creative, mmkay?


Look, I get that not everyone is going to think that I'm wonderful and funny and all that cool stuff. That's fine with me. And people are free to disagree with me all they want. Micky and Anndi both expressed their disagreement with me in comments and Anndi and I had a nice little exchange. That's great. But, this post isn't about them.

What I can’t stand is the over-the-top sanctimonious, hypocritical bullshit political correctness from so many people. Not just with the Brady Babies, but so many people who take things so damn personally.

Some people are so self-absorbed that they think that blog posts from people they don’t even know are about them.

Not to mention the “fake outrage crowd” of people who just spend all their time looking for something to be offended by.

In other news my evil plan to actually generate traffic and comments on a football post worked. ;-)

Anyway, I’ll try to keep on finding ways to offend you guys so you can send me your indignant emails. Hell, I’ll even try to find a way to offend you over something that actually fucking matters. How’s that?

Okay, some other stuff for those of you who don’t give a shit about my hate mail.

Lauren Conrad of “The Hills” fame has a new contract for a three book deal to write some young adult fiction. Holy crap! How does a person who probably hasn’t read more than a handful of books in her life get a deal to write books?

Oh yeah, cause she’s an MTV star...



And who the hell taught Hayden Panetierre how to get out of a vehicle? Just look at her....


She reaches down and holds her dress in place so that she doesn’t “Brittney” everyone? That’s just unacceptable. Somebody needs to tell her how things work in Hollywood.

After this I’m totally taking her out of my top five. Well, if I had a top five, I would.

Maybe I should do a top five though. Do you guys want to see my top five? Let me know.



Oh I’ve been meaning to mention again that you can follow me on Twitter. The link is over on my sidebar under “Wanna Be My Friend?” along with my YouTube page and Myspace and Facebook. I need more people to follow on Twitter.


And on a totally serious note you guys along the Texas Coast take care. Ike is going to be a monster. I hope it isn’t, but right now it doesn’t look good at all.

The NFL is FINALLY back baby! And not a moment too soon either. Sundays were really getting to be a problem finding something interesting going on.


Sunday broke like any other day. Politicians and other loudmouths were on all the Sunday morning shows. Giada de Laurentiis and Aida Mollenkamp were steaming up the Food Network. And idiots on ESPN and FOX were blathering on and on about how the New England Patriots were once again the team to beat this season.

Then the games started. I mostly watched the Philly/St. Louis game because I was ready for Brian Westbrook to put up big numbers. And did he ever! But, at some point I decided I should switch over and see how the Chiefs were holding up against the mighty Patriots. Just as I turned the channel I suddenly got a really funny feeling. It wasn't gas either. I know what that feels like.

I couldn't quite figure out what was going on. I couldn't even articulate my symptoms well enough to get an idea of what was going on over at WebMD.

Then it happened.

Suddenly I had this feeling of peace and love and happiness come over me. I felt all warm and tingly. Like I had just had a really smoking hot stripper come over and sit on my lap. I looked up at the TV and the most amazing thing happened.

Tom Brady had dropped back to pass and just as he let go of the football, Bernard Pollard did something almost superhuman. With strength and speed that could only have come from God himself, Mr. Pollard shook off a would-be blocker and shot through the line of scrimmage like a bullet. A bullet that hit Tom Brady smack dab in the middle of his right knee.

And just like the NFL became exciting and competitive again.

Not mention causing thousands of fantasy football team owners to fall into a deep depression and hit the bottle pretty hard.



Okay, so this week in the Cynical Blog League....



And here are the standings after week one ....




And finally .... On Sunday Carolina Tight End Dante Rosario caught a touchdown with no time left on the clock that beat San Diego. But, check out Fox Sports' graphic...


Uhh .. Hey Fox Sports.

This is Dante Rosario...


And this is Rosario Dawson ...


Let's try to keep them straight, okay?
