If you need more evidence that Obama is screwing up everything in this country, look no further than Kentucky’s loss to South Carolina last night.
President Obama told the Cats he was “honored to speak to the No. 1 team in the country,” but his primary purpose in calling was to congratulate the Cats on the “Hoops for Haiti” program that raised more than $1 million for disaster relief efforts in Haiti, struck on Jan. 12 by a 7.0 earthquake.
Good lord is this guy a jinx. Every time he opens up his mouth about the economy, the market plummets. Bush caught a lot of shit for detaining prisoners without a lawyer in Gitmo, and Obama has done nothing whatsoever to stop this. And now, just after receiving a phone call from Obama, number one Kentucky loses to a far inferior South Carolina team. The writing was on the wall, my friends.
If I were John Wall, I would have hung up on him. There’s no place for crippling communism in SEC basketball, Mr. President.
Does anyone remember the Leave Nothing campaigns? It’s not hard to remember as there were only two commercials. What’s awesome is that David Fincher directed the one and Michael Mann directed the other. Coincidentally Fincher also directed the Combat Ad where Adrian Peterson looks like a tire.
In any event I searched around to see if there were any good remakes or homemade versions of these commercials. Turns out there were a few so I’ve put together 5 of these bad boys I thought you might enjoy.
The first two are the real commercials and the other 3 are homemade remakes that are pretty badass.
I can’t help but laugh at this guy freaking out over Favre’s INT. For one, he seems to be a Redskins fan, so unless he’s got money on this game, I don’t get why he’s so worked up. And “holy cow manure?” This is the type of guy that plays the kazoo.
I’m sure there are going to be a lot more videos of people watching and reacting to the already infamous Favre interception, so will someone please just get the inevitable over with and splice the footage with the clip of Hitler freaking out? You know it’s coming.
Mark Cuban has been pumping up NBA All-Star weekend in Dallas, which I’m sure has to be music to David Stern’s ears.
Cuban says All-Star Weekend might be bigger than the Super Bowl in a way.
“The Super Bowl, from a television perspective, is the biggest event of the year. But for attendance and partying, All-Star Weekend will make the Super Bowl look like a bar mitzvah.”
The bigger the event, the more likely an NBA player gets busted for gun possession, so I’m sure All-Star weekend will have its fair share of, shall we say, “human interest stories.” I get what Cuban is saying, but is a bar mitzvah really the right comparison for the Super Bowl? Last time I checked, the Super Bowl didn’t involve tie dancing or memory candles. Peyton Manning is a great quarterback, but I doubt he’s going to fingerbang some 7th grader in the synagogue parking lot after dancing the Horah. That’s just how we got down in South Florida, nephew, and I’m sick of the Jews being considered square.
Fingerbanging. In. Bathroom.
Brett Favre may have thrown his last NFL pass on Sunday but at least the city of Minnesota gave him a nice send off party (which he clearly wasn’t at). On January 22nd the good folks at MOA Best Buy in Rotunda put together a fun little party to honor the Vikings before their trip to New Orleans where they would eventually lose.
The party itself featured big fans, little fans, but most importantly cheerleaders. Yes it’s a shitty excuse to write an article. Actually, it’s not even close to shitty. It’s pretty genius if you ask me.
And I’m sure Mr. Favre would have rather been basking in these cheerleaders than taking shot after shot against the Saints D.

The Saints have come a long way. New Orleans is probably going to be the place to be if they win this Super Bowl. Throwback sports highlights are always interesting to look at. I feel like John Madden looked like that out of the womb. His hair just got gray. Enjoy.
When I was in high school, I would try on my mother’s dresses while she was out playing mahjong. It’s true. After Mark McGwire came clean (sort of) about using steroids, telling the truth is the new coolest thing. I’m just jumping on the bandwagon. Ernie Banks is hoping that Sammy Sosa does the same.
“I would say just what Mark McGwire did,” Banks said. “Come clean with it. Explain it to them. … Just say: ‘This is what happened.’ It is hard to do, to admit this. Just admit it and live with it and understand it. I am sure a lot of people will forgive him.” The ever-optimistic Banks says he would like to see Sosa embraced by the new Cubs ownership and the fans who once saluted him.
“I would like to see Sammy come back,” Banks said. “Throw out the first pitch, sing ‘Take Me Out To The Ballgame,’ you know, meet some of the players and all of that. I was dreaming about it. I always thought that the way he left here and went to his demise here was quick. The lesson from that is that fame is fleeting. It can go in a minute.”
Sosa’s denial of steroid use is a bit different than that of most of the other juicers. Instead of pointing his finger at Congress or refusing to talk about his past, Sosa employed the whole “no ingles” defense and pretended that he wasn’t aware of what he was being asked. A pretty good move if you ask me, especially since he could probably call the people who didn’t buy his act racist.
Although, after journalists and players like Carlton Fisk coming out of the woodwork to climb up on their high horses and feign indignation with regards to McGwire’s apology, what makes Banks think that Sosa’s would be treated any differently? People LOVED McGwire and it seems like he’s got a mob of angry people clutching pitchforks outside his home after his apology. They’re bound to tar and feather Sosa for coming clean.
At this point, the media is so fucking cynical that it’s probably better to just keep quiet. No admission or apology will ever be good enough, and quite frankly, the media doesn’t deserve an apology. If Sosa should apologize to anyone, it’s to his fellow Dominicans for bleaching his skin.
