So diculous it's re-diculous

Consider this your encore for Sunday afternoon.

I forgot to mention the insanity of the pregame and halftime shows on TV today.

I knwe it'd be a good day when Tom Jackson called Michael Irvin a retard on national television on the ESPN pregame show today.

Is it just me or do you have a harder time taking Irvin seriously after the latest round of drug problems? As much as I think Jackson was right, I'll bet you dollars to donuts that we haven't heard the last of this.

The over/under is two days on him having to publicly apologize to all retards, Irvin included.

Same show, a little later and they had Dr. Phil breaking down Bill Parcels and Terrell Owens new relationship in Dallas.

Jesus.

I've said it before and will say it again - Oprah needs to be stopped. That much power in one place is no good for anyone.

***
Halftime of Bears/Packers and they run a small reel of the 10th anniversary of the Packers' last Super Bowl win (has it really been 10 years?) with Reggie White as the centerpiece. They went through and digitally added the "ancient footage" look with specks and pops and the lines that run along the image like it happened in 1940.

What the fuck was that about?

Did Fox get a new toy in the editing room or something? Awful just awful.

***
In the same vein as finding your stride after a rocky start, the Miller Lite "Man Laws" commercials have a new high water mark.

"No wasting beer in the name of humor" is a law about tapping the top of your buddy's beer bottle to make it foam over.

Let's hope this one takes - that's really fucking annoying, and we're looking at you, Jigga. (The buddy of mine, not the CEO of Roc-a-fella Records - I don't need any uneccesary rap beefs.)
