ESPN's Greatest Highlight

Unless you're blind you've by no doubt seen ESPN's Greatest Highlight segment running during SportsCenter. Now I think this is a great idea and the fans get to choose their favorite highlights rather than some panel of ESPN talking heads--very democratic. But if you ask me there's one BIG problem with the segment: Chris Berman. Sure, his little quips were great when he first started and the nicknames were cool to start. But now it's just annoying. How this dude landed the role of announcing the first two rounds of the US Open is crazy. So there are tons of great highlights and since Chris Berman brought a lot of that crazy energy to his work on the big SC he was a logical guy to host. I can understand all that. But why the hell is this dope doing the play-by-play of these highlights instead of just airing the original calls? It's like if you or I turning down the volume and pretending like we were calling the play. It was god awful to listen to him try and call the Hank Aaron homer, Kirk Gibson homer, and Immaculate Reception. Very weak and I wish they'd gone in a different direction because Berman is annoying as hell. I'm just thankful we have one final play to go!

France's greatest gift

Many Americans know the best thing the French do is surrender and you'd probably be correct. But much like they did with French Fries and French Toast, they come through every once in a blue moon. Marion Cotillard is one such piece of greatness. Where has she been and what French movie has she been naked in because I need to rent it with quickness.

Another Hanes commercial?!

Does anybody else think Michelle Obama looks like Cuba Gooding, Jr. with a wig in this photo?

Michelle Obama is an idiot

First, let me say I'm very much in the middle when it comes to politics. I vote for the best candidate regardless of party affiliation. Both parties have their pluses and minuses.

With the statement, "let me tell you, for the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country," Michelle Obama staked her claim to the throne of presidential candidate's idiot spouse. Are you kidding me? If you aren't proud of your country, get the hell out. We don't need you here. It's a privilege living in this country and to say you haven't been proud of the United States in your adult years is a joke. We don't need you. I don't care if you're a moderate, liberal, or conservative this statement should leave a sour taste in your mouth.

Here are a couple of things to be proud of: the end of the Cold War, the liberation of Kuwait, and the coming together of this country after the September 11th attacks (not to mention forcing the Taliban out of Afghanistan). We are a nation of proud people who take pride in this country and what it stands for--life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness--even if it's flawed. After reading Michelle Obama's comments I don't think she feels the same nor represents what Americans are all about.

Tomorrow I'm sure I'll be posting her backtracking statements further cementing her idiot status because she suddenly can't stick to her guns and defend her position.

A quick thought

Why are the beverages in the above picture called soft drinks? Has anyone bought a hard drink? Does that make sense? Why is it you have both liquor and hard liquor? Don't both get you drunk? Is this some type of marketing ploy by the industry to sell more booze? Hmmm...

An ambassador for peace?

You can't tell me if you had a chance to see Jessica Simpson naked you wouldn't quickly sign a cease fire agreement or agree to stop clubbing baby seals. If not then you have no heart and I feel sorry for you.

Great photo

I don't care if this picture is fake...it's awesome and does have a hint of truth in it.
