The Nutless Husband's Guide to Hosting a Super Bowl Party
The BrickHorns will be hosting a Super Bowl party again this year. Against my wishes. The wife has put her foot down, presumably to show once and for all who's the boss in this relationship. It's not enough that my kick-ass guitar rig has been relegated to a small slice of basement real estate...
Tristan Thompson is clearly not ready for the NBA
Watching the game today against the Oakland Grizzlies, it was pretty clear that Tristan has a lot of work to do if he hopes to earn a living playing basketball anywhere but Turkey. Granted, he could save some money bunking with Dogus' family, but I know he'd like to play in the NBA some day. Let's...
Confessions of A Football Fan: March Madness Rules
There are few things that live up to the hype anymore. Hype is its own industry and the actual event has too often become an irrelevance. Now we actually hype hype itself, placing our culture into a continuous loop of self-aggrandizing bullshit. In an ahistorical culture, everything is treated as...
Super Bowl XLV: Green Bay 31, Pittsburgh 25, Fox 111,000,000
While Green Bay captured Super Bowl XLV in dramatic fashion 31-25 over Pittsburgh, the Fox broadcast of the game became the most-watched televised program in U.S. history. The telecast of the Packers 13th NFL championship and 4th Super Bowl win averaged 111 million viewers. It broke the record set...
Cowherd Goes Absurd
I will readily admit that sports radio hosts are, as a group, not exactly radiant beacons of deep analytical thought. Don't trouble yourself over my questionable use of the term "admit" in that sentence, as if I could admit to anything about a class of individuals of which I'm not a member. The...
jones Monthly Ten-Super Bowl acts
And now for something completely different... I can no longer bring myself to read another word about Texas basketball. Sorry, Trips; you've done brilliant work, but it is becoming uncomfortably like Taxi Driver or Leaving Las Vegas: undeniable artistic merit, with a sigh of relief that is over,...
Super Bowl Most Watched TV Show
More than 106 million persons tuned into Super Bowl XLIV Sunday night, making it the most-viewed program in TV history. The previous record was set back in 1983 by the "M-A-S-H" finale which was seen by 105.97 million viewers. In metered markets across the country, the telecast of the Saints win...
The Briefest of Odes to Jim Gray
On the way home from a small get together for the Super Bowl, I was tuned in to Westwood One's post-game coverage. Lo and behold, there was a voice that I had not heard in quite some time, a voice of disdain, smugness, and holier-than-thou all rolled into one tight and wiry package of brooding...
Who dat, imo?
Basketball This may sound stupid for any number of reasons but I think this Texas squad will be better next year. One round of objections might go, "well duh Nick, Hamilton and all the young guys will be better." To this I would agree and add that not only will the younger players be better, but...
Super Bowl XLIV - Open Thread
Geaux Drew Brees and David Thomas. If we can stop Archie Manning and Katrina, we've got a chance.
