    I know it looks like a good game on paper, but I have almost no interest in the Super Bowl. With all the hype, endless stupid commercials and lame music acts, I’m going to pass on the game for the third year in a row….

    I’ll DVR the game and get through it in about an hour, or maybe I’ll pass all together and watch the highlights….

    I couldn’t care less about either team and will probably be in the gym during the game….

    One thing I can’t understand is all the hype about the commercials. I usually sit there stone-faced at one inane attempt at humor after another and am astonished at everyone around me laughing at all the nonsense….

    One thing which fascinates me is the hypocrisy of Commissioner Roger Goodell….

    While calling Rush Limbaugh “divisive,” he remains silent about a a man charged with pedophilia performing in the halftime show….

    I love The Who and own all their CD’s, but guitarist Pete Townshend was arrested a few years ago for downloading kiddie porn and put on a UK watchlist….

    But I guess he isn’t “divisive”….

    Goodell usually drops the hammer on black players and treats white coaches and executives with kid gloves, but his silence on the Townshend situation is astonishing….

    I’ve been thinking a lot about the following question: Is there anything on earth as boring as college football signing day? ESPN and several web sites devote countless hours to this, all trying to convince readers who landed the best recruiting class….

    Nobody has any idea, of course, because nobody has any idea how these high school superstars will perform in college. In my opinion, it’s all guesswork and nonsense to fill websites….

    I have no idea how these players will perform on the next level and neither do the “experts.” But they continue to bore the hell out of everyone by ranking who had the best class….

    So what compares to the boredom which is national signing day? Here’s a short list:

    -The WNBA

    -Soccer

    -MSNBC

    -Super Bowl pre-game, halftime and post-game

    -American Idol

    -Dancing With the Stars

    -The college football bowl season

    -Regular season NCAA basketball

    -An Adam Sandler movie

    -Los Angeles sports talk radio

    I’m sure I’ve forgotten many more, but that’s off the top of my head….

    I’m watching “Man vs. Food” on the Travel Channel and they’re making a big deal out of some fat, ugly guy at Shula’s Steak House in Miami attempting to eat a 48 oz. steak in 20 minutes….

    Looking at the steak, it looks easy and I guarantee I could accomplish the feat. They’re saying that 80,000 people have tried and only two have succeeded, but I could do it….

    A few weeks ago, my daughter challenged me to eat 10 Del Taco cheese quesadillas and I eagerly accepted….

    Not only did I win, I polished off 15….

    I couldn’t compete in the hot dog eating contest, because I don’t like eating testicles and rectums. But make it a steak or quesadillas and I could compete with anyone in the world….

    Okay, we’re halfway through and this p**** is already sweating and looks about ready to throw up….

    But he’s ahead of pace and looks like he might do it. Eight minutes to go….

    Five minutes to go and this candy ass looks ready to vomit….

    Wow, the fat bastard actually did it, with 3:23 to spare. Pretty impressive, but I could beat him….

    I was watching a show the other night about a Beth’s Diner in Seatlle, which challenges customers to finish a 12-egg omlette….

    I could eat a 36-egg omlette, so this one looked easy to me. But when I saw the meal delivered to the table, it was a different story. They fill the omlette with an enormous amount of hash browns and the meal looks like a balloon….

    Still, I know I could polish one off….

    I laughed when I read Dave’s recent article about the huge all day coverage ESPN gave to the national high school national signing day.

    Great hockey game to end the 2010 Winter Olympics. That Team USA was not only in it to OT, but easily could have won, proves again two of the age-old truisms about the sport: (1) a hot goalie is the great equalizer; (2) a conditioned, committed hard-working team on which everyone knows and [...] […]

    I make no secret of my general disdain for women’s ice hockey. No biggie, especially in this country, since most people, including sports fans and even alleged sports “experts” like The Sportsgod, don’[t even give a rat’s patootie about MEN’s hockey, but that’s a cross I have to bear. I admit that I watch women’s [...] […]
