Vol. 4

OK, so before I jump into anything sports related this week, I wanted to address something that happened at MTV’s Video Music Awards. I feel like I need to address the burning question that was raised from that event…

…“What was Kanye thinking?!?”....

No, not that question…

"Since when did MTV show music videos?"

Yeah, that’s the better question. It seems odd to me that a station named MUSIC TELEVISION, only broadcasts shows having nothing to do with music (or good television, for that matter). This would be like the Lifetime Network having an all-day marathon of Scarface, or FoxNews covering anything fair or balanced…it just doesn’t happen.

The only way MTV could make it worse is if they held their programming on the radio...

So yeah, Kanye is an idiot, or a Presidential jackass

So that will give me at least a paragraph of material…I need to talk about it.

Let me preface this by saying I did not watch the VMAs live, for a couple reasons:

1) I vow not to watch any awards show that contradicts the station it is on
2) I vow not to watch MTV for an extended period of time
3) I have male reproductive organs, so I was actually watching football

I received at least 10 “dang, did you just see what Kanye did?” texts, so I figured it had to be something bad. So I had to do what millions of people did after the show (wonder why they wasted 2 hours of their life?), I looked it up on the internet.

After watching it a couple times, I had a couple impressions, one being that for as much as he was hated on for what he did, it was actually pretty tame (OMG! Kanye thinks someone didn’t deserve an award!!). I actually thought the same myself…really?!? Taylor Swift? Best female video? Was there a stipulation that you couldn’t vote unless you were a 13 year-old girl?

(Taylor Swift, while a horrid excuse for an artist, will always have a place in my heart for the song she wrote about me )

The difference between Kanye and myself is that it would never cross my mind to jump up on stage and tell the tens of people watching exactly what I was thinking. But we already knew Kanye’s brain functions much like John McCain’s bladder.

Beyonce’s video was good, but the best ever?? C’mon Kanye

OK, so I’m thinking after this rant about KanyewestaylorGate and the one last week about the band “Fergie and the minorities,” I should change the name of my article to “Today in Life.” I could talk about all the dumb things people do in general, and not confine myself to only sports.

OR

I could pull an MTV and keep it titled “Today in Sports” but talk about whatever I wanted anyway and confuse anyone who might read the article (I think we have the same number of viewers).



ON TO SPORTS!

It was reported this week that NCAA President, Myles Brand, died yesterday from cancer. This is sad news. Not really a joke there, I can be serious too.

Myles Brand was adamantly against a playoff system for college football, so his death will soon lead to questions over “will this be one less obstacle for a playoff system?” Well, don’t get too excited over his tragic death just yet sports fans! I am hearing the new NCAA President is likely to be Jim Mora


Speaking of death…Joe Paterno

Penn State also wakes up to news of another tragic death. It appears that Joe Paterno has died as well from a chronic case of crotch rot…sad, sad news

Joe Pa will be missed…

Joe Paterno……December 21, 1926 – September 17, 2003

INSANE FACT OF THE DAY: Joe Paterno is 6 years older than Iraq

SECONDARY FACT OF THE DAY: Joe Paterno once pooped his pants on the sidelines (sadly I’m not making that up)


Enough with death…now for some funny!

Buffalo Bills DB, Ellis Lanksder has to be the worst public speaker of all-time. The kid is a PR nightmare and there’s nothing I could do to make his press conference more comical so I’ll simply show you the video…

and if that’s not funny (read as: sad) enough, he now has his own rap album

Now, for the best news I’ve heard in weeks!

It is the middle of September, which means we are exactly one month away from the start of college basketball!

The NBA will gear up first, and I guess that can hold me over til the college games actually start. So to get the rest of you as pumped as I am I’ll show some inspirational promos from the NBA

Kobe!
