Testosterone Tuesday
September 18, 2006
In my 18-plus months experience of surfing blogs, I've learned one thing that brings back readers is weekly features. For example, Half-Nekkid Thursdays (or HNT--my personal favorite), Cock-Blogging Wednesday (you won't see something like that here!), and a lesser-known features like on my friend Jess' blog, "Bad Poetry I Wrote As A Teenager," and Mr. Pinkerton's "Weekend By The Numbers".
Since I don't have much that is new and deeply engaging at the moment, I thought I'd go shallow for the guys and start "Testosterone Tuesday". If there's one thing about me that hasn't changed through my teens, 20's and now 30's, it's my love for sports and sexy celebs. Maybe this will be weekly, maybe not. I don't have an editor to bust my balls so we'll see.
- Let me get this straight: SI's Super Bowl picks, the Miami Dolphins and the Carolina Panthers, are each 0-2 to start the NFL regular season. Meanwhile, the New Orleans Saints and the Minnesota Vikings are 2-0.
God you have to love the parity in the NFL. - Memo to ESPN's Monday Night Football and Pardon The Interruption's Tony Kornheiser: Enough with the "I'm glad because I have him in fantasy" joke when a player makes a big play or has a big game. It got old in less than two weeks time. Didn't Dennis Miller teach you anything?
- Let me get this straight: Brady Quinn, Heisman Trophy Candidate? I guess Michigan missed the memo.
- Can someone please pull the plug on the life support the Red Sox's season is on? This business of beating the Yankees 3 out of 4 games this past weeked in the Bronx is nothing but a sick joke on those of Sox fans who stopped watching in August.
- Let me get this straight: the Detrott Lions' Roy Williams and the Cleveland Browns' Kellen Winslow Jr shoot their mouths off, then proceed to contribute little in their teams' beatings. Neither one of them has ever accomplished much in the NFL, so who gave them the right to talk the talk?
- Did you hear the one about how Notre Dame is a National Championship contender? I guess Michigan never head that joke either.
- I don't know if I'm in the minority, but after seeing Eva Longoria in last night's MNF open, I can honestly say I still want to tear right into her. Even if she is "overexposed."
- Mark my words: Terrell Owens will pussy out and miss the Cowboys-Eagles game in Philadelphia on October 8.
- In spite of what many want to think, Jessica Simpson is just ridiculously hot...when you look at her photos.
- Even though I'm a Giants fan, I won't be like some blind yahoo who got too caught up in Sunday's exciting come from behind win. The O-line couldn't block, the defense was shreaded like cheddar cheese, and the coaching staff didn't seem to have a game plan in place until it was almost too late. This team clearly has work to do before January arrives.
- Did you see the insanely (pardon the pun) hot Debra Lafave on NBC Dateline the other night? I look at the chick and just can't figure out what a 14-year-old had that her husband didn't.
After this "in-depth" interview with professional fluff reporter Matt Lauer, I don't think any of us still are any closer to figuring that out. Is this guy really a journalist? - Memo to the NCAA: instant replay is to help football officials "get it right," not help the home team win the game.
- Jesus. It took the Mets long enough to finally clinch the NL East. Getting swept by Pittsburgh this past weekend? Good thing they play in the horrible National League.
- Speaking of Pittsburgh, nice effort last night getting shut out in Jacksonville. I think it's time the Jaguars start getting their due, beating two Super Bowl favorites in the Cowboys and Steelers to start 2006. Just, could you try to score a TD?
- Last night's 9-0 Jaguars win was the lowest scoring Monday Night Football game in the franchise's 37-year history. And I stayed up to hear that stat. Ugh.
- Have you got on board the Keeley Hazell (NSFW) bandwagon yet?
